On a midsummer night, cicadas chirped everywhere, and there were a few strands of heat in the room, only the Qionghua sprinkled in front of the bed was like a thin frost, with a false coolness.

Gu Qingzhou's eyes were as clear and cold as the moonlight.

She stared thoughtfully.

In the distance, the Overseer's Mansion and Shiro's Mansion of Hirano were full of footsteps and cluttered.

Cai Changting said: "Don't go back to the yard for now, lest there will be an ambush."

"Dare to ambush this mansion?" Gu Qingzhou asked unconsciously.

Cai Changting's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "It's not that I haven't."

Gu Qingzhou was heartbroken. .

She was expressionless.

"Is there one?" She said casually, "Then I'll go to Madam's side first."

"Wait a minute, it's not safe to go out now," he said.

Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything.

She sat down to herself.

No lights were turned on in the room, and the thin moonlight, like silver, spread out in the room, illuminating the furniture.

Neither Cai Changting nor Gu Qingzhou spoke.

Silent as water.

Cai Changting's breathing was shallow, almost inaudible, and he was dressed in black again, as if he did not exist in the dimly lit room.

Gu Qingzhou quietly listened to the movement outside.

After about a quarter of an hour, the entire Shiro Hirano mansion was brightly lit.

Gu Qingzhou said, "I have to go."

Cai Changting said: "I will send you back."

Now that it is so noisy, the assassin is probably caught, and Gu Qingzhou can leave.

Dare to break into the neighboring mansion of the governor's mansion so boldly, these people should not be from Taiyuan mansion.

Gu Qingzhou asked Cai Changting: "You said, where did Jin Qianhong buy this assassin?"

"Peiping." Cai Changting said, "After she left the port in Tianjin, she fled to Peiping."

Gu Qingzhou turned to look at him: "You sent someone to follow her?"

Cai Changting was silent.

Gu Qingzhou thought again that there are a large number of killers under the royalists, including Ah Jing and her coach.

This organization is extremely secretive, but also very strict and well-trained.

Mrs. Hirano will not come to Taiyuan Mansion for no reason.

The old nest of the royalist killer organization is in Taiyuan Mansion, but I don't know who is in charge of them.

No matter who is in charge, Mrs. Hirano will definitely be able to use one or two of them. As long as she can use it, so can Cai Changting.

"Did you also send someone to follow me?" Gu Qingzhou asked him.

Cai Changting still did not answer.

Gu Qingzhou can't continue to ask questions.

When they got to Gu Qingzhou's yard, she and Cai Changting split up and checked the house, up and down, inside and out.

No one is hiding.

"Okay, I'll go back first, you can sleep in peace and wait for the news tomorrow morning." Cai Changting said.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

"Thank you for today." Gu Qingzhou said.

"You are my apprentice, and a teacher should take care of you." Cai Changting said.

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "I don't recognize this. In our Chinese tradition, teachers are respected, and they are the same status as fathers.

In my opinion, you are more like my tutor. From a westernized point of view, you are the teacher I hired, and I promised to pay you. "

"It's so clear?" Cai Changting asked with a smile.

His smile was as calm and bright as it used to be, like the arc hanging on the corner of his lips, so stiff and deliberate.

"It's got to be clear." Gu Qingzhou said, "Thank you for your help tonight. I'll accept this favor from you, and I'll give it back to you later."

"So good." Cai Changting said.

Before Cai Changting left, Gu Qingzhou's phone number was thought of.

It was Ye Wu who called.

Ye Wu was very nervous and asked on the phone, "How are you, teacher? Now both the governor's mansion and the general's mansion are blocked, and there is a shootout on the side of the corridor. My father won't let me go there."

"I'm fine..."

"I made a lot of calls and was very worried about you. Fortunately, there were no casualties." Ye Wu was anxious.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said to her, "I just came back. I was at Cai Changting before. I was afraid that there would be assassins hidden in the rockery and trees. I won't dare to come back until the entire mansion is inspected."

Ye Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

She said to Gu Qingzhou, "Teacher, you have to be careful. Two injured assassins have been caught. It is estimated that the mastermind will be tried tomorrow."

Gu Qingzhou said: "Okay, let's all sleep for a while and wait for the news tomorrow morning."

The next day, Ye Wu came early.

The Overseer's Mansion and the General's Mansion are still heavily guarded.

Things like last night were neglected. If the assassination of the Overseer or Hirano Shiro, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ye Wu passed the heavy guards and came to Gu Qingzhou's side, and told Gu Qingzhou, "It's dangerous, the assassins came at you last night."

"I know."

"You know?" Ye Wu was surprised, "How do you know?"

"If the estimate is good, it should be sent by Jin Qianhong. However, she herself knows the seriousness and can't get the evidence." Gu Qingzhou regretted.

No one would be foolish enough to bribe an assassin.

As long as Jin Qianhong does not appear, even if everyone knows it well, it is impossible to convict her.

Besides, she is far away in Beiping.

"It's her again!" Ye Wu's delicate little hands clenched tightly.

"Yes, it's her again." Gu Qingzhou smiled, "The last time she took the medicine almost ruined her reputation, how can she be reconciled?"

Ye Wu's eyeballs turned slightly.

Gu Qingzhou patted her on the shoulder: "Don't think of a stupid idea! Those photos will be returned to the Jin family, which is promised by the governor's house. We can't break the net with the Jin family now."

Ye Wu looked relaxed, unable to sigh.

"I'm so angry." Ye Wu said, "Teacher, do we have a chance..."

She made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Gu Qingzhou's eyes also condensed frost: "Yes. Jin Qianhong suffered such a big loss. She hasn't made a comeback yet. How can she let it go? We have a chance."

"Then next time..." Ye Wu's tone was very slow, and every word was covered with severe cold, "...must not be soft-hearted or soft-handed."

"Well." Gu Qingzhou nodded.

Ye Wu said for a while, thinking that there was news from her father, she had to listen to the progress, so she left first.

After she left, Cai Changting came again.

"A Qiang, Madam, please." Cai Changting said, "Come with me."

Gu Qingzhou sighed and went to Mrs. Hirano's side.

Mrs. Hirano reassured her, repeating that she was frightened last night.

"I will contact Mrs. Jin secretly." Mrs. Hirano said, "The Jin family will give you an explanation."

"Where's Jin Qianhong?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

"The Jin family will send her away from a distance, and the elders will send her away." Mrs. Hirano said.

Gu Qingzhou lowered her eyelashes.

"Why, are you not satisfied?" Mrs. Hirano asked, seeing her expression.

Gu Qingzhou sighed: "There is nothing to be dissatisfied with. After doing so many wrong things, she turned around and walked away. She really had a good life."

Mrs. Hirano's eyes narrowed.

Gu Qingzhou continued: "I didn't have such a good life, I was not born in such a good family."

Mrs. Hirano held her breath.

"A Qiang, come here." Cai Changting said to Gu Qingzhou.
