The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 53: Whatever Jingzhao Prefecture can manage, I can also manage...

After returning home, Gu Jingzhi stayed at home and didn't go anywhere!

Qu Feiyan, on the other hand, hadn't gone out. Seeing this cold woman, Gu Jingzhi couldn't help but ask curiously, "You don't have to go out today?"

"Nothing to do today!"

Qu Feiyan rolled her eyes and asked, "Didn't you go to report to His Majesty today? Why are you back so soon?"

"..."

Gu Jingzhi was a little surprised.

This woman had lived with him for quite some time, but apart from official business, she had always ignored him. Today, she was surprisingly concerned about him.

Gu Jingzhi just shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a small matter. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already reported it at the court meeting. I'm just going to leave!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan simply nodded, then suddenly asked, "How confident are you about the current situation?"

"Ok?"

Gu Jingzhi immediately felt that this woman was strange. Why did she suddenly ask about official business? He looked at Qu Feiyan strangely and asked after a while: "Are you...sick?"

"..."

Qu Feiyan's eye twitched and she cursed Gu Jingzhi in her heart.

If the princess hadn't told me to, do you think I'd want to talk to you?

She said unhappily, "I'm just asking. After all, this is about the North, and I'm curious!"

curious?

Gu Jingzhi looked her over. This woman didn't look like a curious person. He complained in his heart, then said indifferently, "It's too early to say whether we can grasp it now. We have to wait and see!"

He was somewhat wary of secret agencies like the Imperial Guards. Who knew if this woman's seemingly casual question today might hold some hidden trap?

Seeing that he was very tight-lipped, Qu Feiyan cursed him inwardly, then asked calmly, "I heard that you are the eldest son of the Gu family?"

"???"

Gu Jingzhi frowned slightly: "Isn't your Inner Guard known for knowing everything under heaven? If it's clear enough with just one investigation, why bother asking?"

"Nothing?"

Qu Feiyan sat on the swing as if bored, and said, "I'm just curious, how come you, the eldest son of a powerful family, are still living alone?"

"..."

Gu Jingzhi rolled his eyes.

You are fucking curious, but I am curious too!

If it weren't for that old bastard Gu Heng... bah, if it weren't for Gu Heng's partiality and Song Yu's viciousness, he would have enjoyed the life of a playboy long ago.

He was also curious as to why Gu Heng treated him like this!

Gu Jingzhi opened his mouth, then said helplessly, "I see you usually... don't seem to like talking. Why are you still asking questions today?"

"Tsk! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me!"

Qu Feiyan swung on the swing boredly: "Also, who told you that I don't like to talk on weekdays?"

"???"

Gu Jingzhi waved his fingers and said, "You've lived here for a while. Apart from official business, have we ever exchanged more than ten sentences?"

“I wasn’t familiar with it then!”

"..."

It sounds like we are very familiar with each other now.

Gu Jingzhi felt that talking to her was pointless, and immediately walked towards his house with a slightly bored look on his face. Qu Feiyan said from behind, "Hey! I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious. I'm from Yunzhou..."

Gu Jingzhi paused!

Yunzhou?

He turned around and said, "Yunzhou? Isn't Yunzhou in the hands of Beili people now? You..."

"Who says people from Yunzhou can't serve Daxia?"

Qu Feiyan rolled her eyes, then said somewhat sadly, "My parents also died in that disaster. I heard news from the Inner Guard House today that your negotiations this time involve the northern prefectures and counties, so I specifically asked about it!"

Gu Jingzhi looked at her cold face and saw that she didn't seem to be pretending. He couldn't help but say, "The current negotiations involve three countries. No one knows what will happen next. There is really no certainty at the moment!"

"..."

Qu Feiyan frowned and then jumped off the swing: "Alright! If there is any news... forget it!"

As if she thought of something, she waved her hand and then left for her room!

Gu Jingzhi shook his head. He couldn't understand what this woman was thinking. Although the reason she gave seemed to have a reason to ask, he couldn't say too much to her because of her identity as a member of the Inner Guard House.

Gu Jingzhi returned to his room leisurely. Feeling a little sleepy, he put on his official robe and lay down on a bamboo chair to take a nap!

……

That night!

Gu Jingzhi practiced some physical skills in his room as usual, and just after taking a shower and preparing to read a book, he suddenly heard Lao Huang coming outside the door.

"Sir! Someone from the government has come and said they have something important to discuss with you!"

"Find me?"

Gu Jingzhi frowned: "Did you say anything?"

"No! He is waiting for you at the door!" Old Huang answered truthfully.

"Okay! I'll go take a look!"

Gu Jingzhi did not delay. Since they had come to him at this time, it must be something urgent.

As he was speaking, he arrived at the front door of his house and saw an internal guard wearing a black internal guard uniform and a long sword on his waist.

When the inner guard saw Gu Jingzhi, he immediately pulled out a token from his waist and flashed it in front of Gu Jingzhi, then said, "Master Gu, a murder has occurred in Ruyun Tower. It concerns the diplomatic missions of the two countries. The superiors have asked me to invite you over!"

"Murder? When did it happen?"

Gu Jingzhi's pupils shrank.

Now is the critical moment of the negotiations, and what he is most worried about is these unexpected events, but he didn't expect that it would happen now!

"Weren't we told to keep a close eye on the two countries' envoys and make sure nothing happened to them? How did a murder happen?"

He walked out anxiously, but after a few steps, he suddenly asked, "What is Ruyun Tower? Why is there a murder at this time?"

"Borthello!"

The inner guard said coldly.

Gu Jingzhi: “…”

He pointed at the inner guards with a bit of a toothache: "Why are you still in a place like a brothel where all kinds of people mix? Aren't we supposed to keep an eye on the delegation and prevent them from messing around in the city?"

"It happened so suddenly that I couldn't stop it!"

Neiwei still said with a blank expression.

"You guys... that's all!" Gu Jingzhi flicked his sleeves and said, "Lead the way!"

As he spoke, he hurried forward. The inner guard saw his hurried back and quickly pointed in the opposite direction: "Sir, Ruyun Tower is this way!"

Gu Jingzhi: “…”

……

Soon, Gu Jingzhi followed the inner guards to an area that looked quite prosperous.

Even at night, there were big red lanterns hanging everywhere, giving off a sense of decadence and extravagance. Gu Jingzhi shook his head and walked towards a building.

The place was now surrounded by people, including the internal guards, the city defense battalion... and even a group of constables who looked like the Jingzhao Yin.

The outside was full of people watching the fun.

"stop!"

As soon as Gu Jingzhi arrived, he was stopped by two soldiers.

He glanced at the sergeant and said, "I am Gu Jingzhi, the deputy envoy for reception of the diplomatic mission!"

Upon hearing this, the two soldiers immediately let him go...

Gu Jingzhi took two steps forward and suddenly turned around. "This matter concerns the diplomatic corps. I have entrusted the Internal Guard with full authority to handle it. The Jingzhao Yin people can go back!"

Jingzhao Prefecture Constable: “???”

Gu Jingzhi blinked. What? Didn't you hear a word?

Whatever Jingzhao Prefecture can manage, I can manage as well. Whatever Jingzhao Prefecture cannot manage, I must manage even more...

There's no other way, we have a token, a special authorization from the emperor...
