Chapter 69: A New Twist

Gu Jiu walked around the courtyard wall twice, and found that when this courtyard was first designed, in order to avoid the situation of being entered by people climbing over the wall, the overall construction was not easy to climb.

Gu Jiu stood outside the courtyard wall, carefully recalling what the system said at that time.

Target person: Lu Qiuzhi

Task: Get half of the Lu family's money, a total of 120 taels of gold

Mission period: 60 years

The Lu family.

In Cloud City, the Lu family is nominally a big family, but in fact, it has long been empty, and the entire family is supported by Lu Qiuzhi alone.

Over the years, although the Lu family has been trying to find other directions, because Lu Qiuzhi is not good at business, he also likes others to flatter him. Therefore, the Lu family has not established effective cooperation with several other families.

The main benefit still comes from Lu Qiuzhi.

So, where will Lu Qiuzhi put his money?

The yard at the entrance of the mirror field?

Gu Jiu recalled the expression on his face after the county seized the courtyard, happy but not too happy, not like the expression of finding a large amount of silver.

That...... The Lu family?

Gu Jiu thought about it and found that the latter was more likely.

At present, there are still twenty days before the deadline of the system task, and I think we can make it up on time.

The Lu family is considered to be in the middle of the road, but before the middle fall, it was very wealthy, and the family's house was naturally built in the core area of Cloud City.

Gu Jiu walked out of the filming field, and after a little inquiry, he asked the exact location of the Lu family.

The door is quite magnificent.

Gu Jiu looked at the golden pillar gate in front of him and muttered.

This kind of golden pillar gate can only be built by someone in the family as an official, and the rise and fall of the Lu family is related to the official.

Step forward and knock on the stone ring on the door.

It was a long time before there was a slight noise behind the door.

"Who?"

"Good aunt, the younger generation Gu Jiu, I was once favored by Mr. Lu, I heard that Mr. was in trouble, and the little girl scraped together a little money in the hope of helping."

There seemed to be contemplation behind the door.

Gu Jiu suddenly felt a little uneasy, it felt like someone was staring at you standing in the light through a small hole in the dark night.

Very bad.

"Auntie, if it's inconvenient to ......, forget it.

Without waiting for Gu Jiu to speak, the heavy door slowly opened from the inside.

The sound was thick and sound, as if it had not been turned on in a hundred years.

The door opened.

Gu Jiu saw the middle-aged woman behind the door clearly by the moonlight, with pale clothes and slightly haggard eyebrows, if it weren't for the style of her hair that pointed out her identity, Gu Jiu would really treat her as an unfavored concubine.

"Hello ma'am."

"Come in."

Gu Jiu raised his leg and just wanted to enter, but when his eyes fell on the long and somewhat dark road behind the gate, a strong uneasiness suddenly burned in his heart.

That feeling made Gu Jiu have a strong desire to leave.

He looked at the woman again and shook his head.

"Madam, the little girl's family background is ordinary, and she can't help much, this is two taels of silver, and I hope to help Madame."

As he spoke, Gu Jiu took out a rag wrapped in a pile of copper plates, took a step back and put it on the ground.

Standing up and just about to say goodbye and leave, the woman suddenly smiled at Gu Jiu, the moonlight shining on her slightly haggard face, looking a little crazy.

"It's all here, you might as well sit down."

As he spoke, he was about to come out and pull Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu hurriedly took a step back: "No, A-Niang said, let me leave as soon as I finish sending the money." Madam, A-Niang is still waiting for me at home, I have to go home. ”

After speaking, Gu Jiu immediately ran away.

After running for about a thousand meters, Gu Jiu stopped against a corner of the wall and looked behind him in horror.

It's good that I didn't chase it.

"Pretty clever."

Shao Baisi's voice suddenly exploded in Gu Jiu's ears, and the nerves that had relaxed Gu Jiu slightly immediately collapsed, his eyes looked around for the source of the sound, and his hand quietly clenched the knife in his cuff.

With a bang, the dagger struck the metal.

"It's you...... Do you have a problem with your brain? Did you know that people can scare people to death? ”

Seeing the person coming clearly, Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he jumped up angrily.

"I just saw you go to the Lu family alone, I thought you were quite bold, how could I think of a sentence to scare you like this."

Shao Baiji shrugged, looking innocent.

Although Gu Jiu was a little angry, he was not so nervous after seeing Shao Baisi.

During the day, he was able to hand over Lu Qiuzhi so easily, and he didn't think he would help the Lu family.

It's just that the fan turned out to be made of metal.

The little son of the Xie family is frail and sickly...... This thing won't be pretended to take the family property, and it won't be enough with his brain.

"You're stalking me?"

"You can't say that. Ben Gongzi just happened to see someone walking towards Lu's house, and wanted to see who was so afraid of death. ”

As soon as the folding fan opened, Shao Baisi smiled extremely innocently.

"What secrets does the Lu family hide?"

"What kind of tutor do you think can raise Lu Qiuzhi's temperament?"

Gu Jiu frowned: "Then why do you say that you are not afraid of death......

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, go back and say."

Shao Baisi interrupted Gu Jiu's words, turned around and wanted to leave, and didn't forget to say before leaving: Keep up!

Gu Jiu hesitated for a moment, and finally followed when Shao Baisi said that he would go back to her bookstore.

"Xiao Jiu! I've seen you! Have you heard that Mr. Lu is in prison? This Xiaojing's letter of recommendation was still written by him, do we have to find another person immediately? ”

As soon as he entered the door, Ling Yang grabbed Gu Jiu and said anxiously.

"No, you don't." That's what I thought about at the beginning.

Gu Jiu shook his head and continued, "Didn't I ask my sister to prepare a gift before?" That's just to prevent today's scene from happening. ”

"That's good."

Suzu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, God knows how nervous she was when she suddenly learned the news in the afternoon.

Entering the academy is not a simple matter, if it is so yellow, I am afraid that I will never have a chance again.

"Sister, this is the young man, I mentioned it to you once before. We have something to talk about, so let's go to the back room first. ”

"Okay, you're busy."

After Gu Jiu and the two went in, Ling Yang suddenly felt that something was strange.

Young son? Less white division!

Didn't Xiao Jiu say that he was dangerous? Is this coerced?

"Young boy, you don't want to swallow the Lu family's silver, do you?"

Gu Jiu thought about a few reasons why Shao Baisi appeared near the Lu family, and picked the most likely one to ask.

"That's right."

"That's a strange coincidence, I happen to have plans to annex it, so it's not a competitive relationship between the two of us."

Hearing this, Shao Baisi chuckled.

"Do you think that just the two of us can see that the Lu family is a piece of meat? There are so many long mouths in Cloud City, who doesn't want to eat them? ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu fell silent.

She seemed to suddenly know why she had never been able to meet the opportunity to pick up money in other people's mouths.

This time Lu Qiuzhi's case, if it weren't for the system, she wouldn't have thought about annexing the Lu family's money at all.

In her thinking, money should be earned step by step, not by ill-gotten gains.

Can......

This is not ill-gotten gains.

The word injustice should be taken from conceit, and in troubled times, it may not be good for her to fall into the hands of the magistrate in the whole way.

"And you want to work with me?" Gu Jiu asked.

"Yes, we'll be fifty-five after the deed."

Hearing this, Gu Jiu chuckled.

"Young boy, you are a little ridiculous. The agreement I reached with the magistrate is fifty-fifty, and you remind me that I am not a person from the same road as the magistrate, implying that I have to beware of him. But is there any necessary connection between my beware of him and believing in you? ”

"Yes."

"Oh? Which point. ”

Shao Baisi suddenly got up and approached Gu Jiu, not knowing what to say.

At first, Gu Jiu's expression was light, and he didn't even care, but at the end, his expression gradually became serious.

Shao Bai Si straightened up and sat back in his place.

The folding fan was opened, and the smile was full.

Gu Jiuyuan didn't like folding fans, because when Gu Zhiqi held it, she always gave her a feeling of arranging flowers on, which did not change the essence of, and also made flowers annoying.

But the use of a folding fan is just right.

"Miss Gu, apart from me, you can't find a more suitable person."

Shao Baisi's eyes are firm, and every move is inevitable.

"Definitely. First cooperation, I hope we have a happy cooperation. ”

"Like."

As soon as Shao Baisi went out, Ling Yang impatiently pulled Gu Jiu over and asked.

"It's him, something has changed, so we will cooperate for a while."

"But! It's not a friend, it's something to watch out for. ”

"But there is good news for my sister."

Gu Jiu looked at Ling Yang and said a little mysteriously: "We're going to open a new shop!" The best location in Cloud City! ”

"Really?"

"Uh-huh. And I'm going to hire two people to help us, and we're going to control the direction of the booklet. ”

"That's great, isn't it? Are we going to double our earnings? ”

Ling Yang hugged Gu Jiu with some excitement.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll start looking for people!"

"Okay."

Lu Qiuzhi is asking for the day after tomorrow, as long as nothing goes wrong tomorrow, then Lu Qiuzhi will be able to live one more day.

On the contrary, if something goes wrong, he will die on the spot.

After all, the "jars" were all broken in front of them, how could they let the tiger return to the mountain.

originally thought that with Lu Qiuzhi's identity, there would be more or less episodes on the second day, but he didn't expect a sudden change on Shi Yuyan's side.

"Auntie, why are so many people gathered here?"

Looking at the lively aunt, she didn't even look back, and she didn't care who was behind, she pointed to the gate of the Shi family not far away and said, "Have you seen the doctors?" ”

"See."

"I heard that it was the eldest lady of the Shi family who cut her wrists, but she was found in time. No, it's rescued! ”

Gu Jiu nodded, and said suspiciously: "Then what are you staying here for?" ”

"Look at that negative man! I heard that Miss Shi committed suicide after the lover went in, and everyone is waiting to see how he was thrown out. ”

Gu Jiu thanked him and turned to leave the crowd.

But after walking a short distance, I was attracted by two people wearing hats.

This man...... Why are you so similar to Gu Zheqi and Gu Wensheng?

If they were here, who would their lover be there?
