Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Duel

Standing in the empty Gu family's compound, Gu Zhiqing felt that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes watching him around.

Everything is still subject to technical conditions, and it is impossible to achieve full coverage and all-weather reconnaissance.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when even electricity did not exist, all kinds of electronic investigation methods in later generations could not be truly implemented.

Only then can those people continue to hide in the Gu family's old mansion.

The Gu family is the gate of the mansion, and there are hundreds of servants and servants, as well as various business guys, as well as shopkeepers, account rooms, and so on.

If the spies were hiding among them, it would not be easy to find them out.

Speaking of the Gu family's industry, Gu Zhiqing was really amazed, especially in the past few days, after Fengming's organization intensified its investigation, the personnel have infiltrated into every Gu family's industry and also obtained first-hand information.

The main business of the Gu family is the silk business, and the caravan covers most of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but in addition to silk, the Gu family also does tea, porcelain, and various commercial goods.

The Gu family caravan can reach Dashi in the Western Regions at its fingertips, and it can also go to sea with the ship to the coastal islands.

In short, the Gu family's business is worthy of the title of a top wealthy businessman.

It's no wonder that the Gu family will attract the northern wealthy family to watch, so that in the eyes of any powerful person, the wealth will also be red-eyed.

Perhaps because of the faint blood relationship between the Gu family and the Gu family, one of the four major families of Wu County, no one has bothered the Gu family for so many years.

Speaking of the blood relationship with the Gu family, one of the four major families in Wu County, it can be said that it is really reluctant.

According to Master Gu himself, his grandfather used to be cousins with the ancestor of the Gu family.

But when it came to Gu Ying, there were already three generations behind, not to mention Gu Zhiqing.

People say that if the clan comes out of three suits, they won't kiss, and Gu Ying is already outside the seven or eight suits.

If it weren't for Gu Ying's identity as a giant, I'm afraid that the Gu family of Wujun would not have opened their eyes to him.

Naturally, Gu Ying also had to pay a lot of price in order to maintain this so-called kinship.

At least every year, a lot of filial piety will be sent to the Gu family of Wu County, the specific amount Gu Zhiqing does not know, but I believe that with the top wealthy family of the Gu family, the appetite will never be small.

However, the money was sent out, and something really happened to the Gu family, but they hid in the dark and watched the fire from the other side.

Maybe they didn't regard Gu Ying, a businessman, as a blood relative in their bones at all.

For the Gu family, one of the so-called four major families in Wu County, Gu Zhiqing had a lot of complaints in his heart.

In response to that sentence, relying on the tree, the tree will fall, the mountain will collapse, and it is better to rely on anyone than on yourself.

Gu Ying's life and death are still uncertain on the sickbed, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

And the entire Gu family's business was also handed over to Gu Zhiqing, which was because Mrs. Gu was in a hurry to come to the shopkeepers of major shops to make a choice.

Gu Zhiqing actually has no talent for business, but fortunately, those members of the Fengming organization are all good managers.

With them here, there is no need for Gu Zhiqing to worry about business.

Gu Zhiqing can devote all his energy to the secret spy organization, after many days of investigation, and the pursuit of the master's clues.

Gu Zhiqing pulled out a lot of nails from the Gu family's old mansion one after another, but these people were not the secret spies of that organization without exception.

At present, in addition to the famous brand of concubine, there is only the clue of the mysterious master.

So Gu Zhiqing sent Feng Ming's four groups to start searching for the whereabouts of the master throughout Loucheng.

A big living person disappeared without a trace under Gu Zhiqing's nose.

The disappearance of the master turned out to be a moment before Gu Zhiqing sent someone to chase and kill.

According to the guy in the account room, the master was still calculating an account before that.

"Seventh sister... Four groups can have messages returned? With the four groups of reconnaissance capabilities, Gu Zhiqing felt that they should have returned to the news a long time ago.

Even if they don't find the master, they will routinely report the progress.

At present, the four groups of Fengming have been missing for half a day.

The seventh sister is the coordinator of the Loucheng Fengming plan and the person in charge of the three groups.

Like her first sister, she is an orphan of a northern general, and she is also a very shrewd and capable woman.

Her talent and ability are not below the first sister, so she is in charge of the coordination of Loucheng Fengming's plan.

The seventh sister said: "The last place of the four groups was a house, and then they lost contact, and we are sending five groups to contact it..."

Less than halfway through the seventh sister's return, an old song goddess ran in in a panic.

first saluted Gu Zhiqing, and then reported to the seventh sister: "Seventh sister... Something happened to the four groups."

Hearing this, the seventh sister frowned, and a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

She immediately reached out and took the new message from the old singer's hand.

After taking a few glances, he handed over the message password to Gu Zhiqing.

Staring at the few lines of Morse code, Gu Zhiqing quickly translated its content.

That is, Fengming's four groups are in distress, life and death are uncertain, and they hope to help.

"Looks like they've already chosen a duel location for us, okay, let me meet them."

As he spoke, Gu Zhiqing tore up the piece of paper and threw it into the brazier.

A cold light on his cuffs immediately fell to the palm of his hand.

"Seventh sister, let the three groups continue to squat at the Gu family's old house, and no mistakes are allowed...."

"There are five groups left, six groups, all follow me"

"Yes" The seventh sister also felt an inexplicable sense of urgency at this time.

She immediately sent out all the instructions, and then a team of fully armed Fengming secret spies, full of fifty or sixty people, gathered in front of Gu Zhiqing.

At this time, they took off their disguises and restored the Fengming suit that Gu Zhiqing deliberately created for them.

Armed with a steel crossbow, he carries a variety of special equipment, such as a climbing hook and a variety of special assassination weapons.

At this time, the members of the Fengming organization, as long as they no longer encounter a killer organization similar to the hatred of the Spring and Autumn Period, they are almost invincible in individual combat.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Zhiqing feels that there is no need to secretly engage in conspiracies with those people, only when the power is insufficient, conspiracies and tricks are needed, if the power is strong enough, then it can be directly crushed without any conspiracy and calculation.

Leaving the Gu family's old mansion with the Fengming organization, and when they were about to arrive in Dongcheng along the main street of Loucheng, they turned into an alley.

Here, Gu Zhiqing and Feng Ming's intelligence team converged.

They were two beggar-looking singers, and after bowing to Gu Zhiqing in unison, they re-disappeared into the crowd of people.

And this alley was handed over to the members of the combat team to take over.

Gu Zhiqing slowly walked towards the depths of the alley, but as soon as he took dozens of steps, he stopped instantly. He swept his gaze over the rock walls on his left and right sides, and then carefully bent down, and found a long thread of silk on the ground, so thin that no one could perceive it without looking closely.

"Seventh sister... I'll leave it to you" After Gu Zhiqing glanced at it a few times, he beckoned an old singer over and asked her to start breaking this trick.
