"Little sister? Are you listening to me?"
"Ah? Yes." Gu Jiu bowed slightly and thanked: "I understand what to do next. Thank you very much for the inspiration!"
"It's okay, as long as it's useful, it's not in vain that I've been talking here for a long time."
The two waved goodbye.
Gu Jiu looked at the sky and estimated the time to start walking towards Lu Qiuzhi.
The entrance to Jingchang is not accessible casually, and the two people Gu Zheqi brought here are not qualified to do so.
And this was also an important reason why she came here immediately after explaining to Ling Yang something happened.
As for Gu Jing and Ye Qingyi, they are not at the inn now, but followed Gu Cheng to go through the academy procedures, and they will not be able to come back for two or three days.
"Xiao Jiu, I came earlier today than the previous two days. Look, what if I wear this to meet those children tomorrow?"
Lu Qiuzhi put on light green clothes and asked while flipping his cuffs up and down.
"Okay, this looks great."
"Yeah, I fell in love with this material right away."
Lu Qiuzhi had enough looking around and looked up at Gu Jiu. Only then did he notice that Gu Jiu seemed to be particularly happy today.
"Did something happen today that makes you so happy?"
Gu Jiu nodded.
"I met Miss Shi Yuyan today and we had a great conversation."
Hearing this, Lu Qiuzhi fiddled with the buttons for a moment.
"Shi Yuyan, that young lady from the Shi family?"
"That's right. She also said that she will take care of my shop from now on!" Gu Jiu's brows were lively, with a youthful vigor.
Lu Qiuzhi nodded thoughtfully.
He knew that Gu Jiu was running a shop. After all, a person at his level would not let Gu Jiu come in and out of his place so easily if he didn't investigate clearly.
"It's just that I have one more thing to ask Uncle Lu today."
Gu Jiu changed the subject and continued.
Lu Qiuzhi nodded for her to continue.
"Uncle Lu, what should you do if you are wronged?"
"Unjustly accused?"
Lu Qiuzhi looked at Gu Jiu with a strange look: "How can you be wronged for your weird temperament?"
"Yeah!" Gu Jiu nodded, his eyes looking a little lonely.
"My cousin always said that I was a disaster because my aunt had to do a lot more work after I came to the city. It was nothing at first, but today my cousin suddenly said that I killed my aunt, but I obviously didn't do anything. Pass."
"I also talked with Miss Shi today. She said that my cousin is just in a bad mood, but I am still a little uneasy, so I want to hear Uncle Lu's opinion."
After listening, Lu Qiuzhi nodded, his eyes slightly teasing, as if he was watching a child making trouble.
"Uncle also thinks your cousin is joking with you. Does your cousin study? Uncle knows a lot of gentlemen, and he can help you with a word or two."
"Really? My cousin is a student and even entered our academy!"
"Really?" He didn't find out this step. After all, Gu Jiu and her mother had gone out to live alone, and their relationship with the others wouldn't be much better.
Gu Jiu nodded vigorously.
"My cousin's name is Gu Zheqi, has your uncle heard of him?"
Lu Qiuzhi was stunned, but he didn't expect that he was actually a student of his old friend.
"I've heard of it. He even came to see my uncle. Your cousin is a good boy. He probably said that to you because he was in a bad mood. When your uncle writes you a letter later, your cousin will know he was wrong after reading it. .”
"That's great, thank you Uncle Lu!"
Gu Jiu got the letter and returned to the inn.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw the waiter who had been waiting for him. The waiter pointed towards the second floor with a look of disgust, indicating that Gu Jiu was still waiting for her in the room.
Opening the door, it was true.
"Two detectives, this is my room, what do you want?"
"snort!"
One of them snorted and stood up: "You are the one we are waiting for. You killed someone, so come with us!"
"Killing? When? Why didn't I know?"
"We've seen this kind of trick of yours too many times! Let's wait until we get back to the Yamen to say anything. Whether you were wrongly accused or not will be clear at the first trial."
As he said that he was about to come over to get someone, Gu Jiu took a step back and took out the letter written by Lu Qiuzhi from his sleeve.
"You should know that I went to Jingchangkou this afternoon!"
"This is a letter specially written for me by Mr. Lu Qiuzhi, the most respected person in the academy. The purpose is to tell Gu Zheqi that he has wronged me!"
The two detectives looked at each other, and the civilians were caught without help, but... although they didn't know Lu Qiuzhi, they knew Jingchangkou! The people living there are all rich and noble!
"How do you prove that what you say is true?"
"Isn't it proof that I can freely enter the entrance of the mirror?"
The two detectives looked at each other and then at Gu Jiu, and one of them said: "Gu Zheqi is guarding the mourning hall for his mother now. Come with us. If he doesn't pursue it, the matter will be over." .”
"don't want."
Gu Jiu decisively refused.
The person who wronged you knows better than anyone else that you have been wronged. What's more, there is no one else there with Gu Zheqi, and no one is watching the show. She doesn't have to waste time dealing with Gu Zheqi.
"Since Gu Zheqi doubts me, let him come to me tomorrow evening! What's more, it's not auspicious to go to the mourning hall in the middle of the night."
The two detectives looked at the envelope with the mirror pattern in Gu Jiu's hand and nodded. It was indeed not very auspicious.
After they left, Ling Yang, who lived next door, poked her head out.
"Everyone is gone?"
"Yes, I want to sleep with you tonight. Too many things have been in my room today, and it always feels dirty somewhere."
Gu Jiu closed the door, walked over and said.
Ling Yang nodded and pulled the person in: "Just in time, please tell me in detail what happened?"
…
The next day.
Gu Jiu arrived at Hongxiang Pavilion early.
"Everyone is ready, I'll take you to see it."
Gu Jiu followed the madam and went down to the darkroom once. Looking at the room with a different style in front of him, Gu Jiu couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
The novel never deceived me. This secret room of the ancients is really a world of its own!
"arrive."
The madam moved the flowing stone beads, and a door slowly opened, revealing seven or eight girls of her own age inside.
"This is the first batch. There will be five or six more in the next few days. This makes it more real."
Gu Jiu nodded.
"Each of them knows their own 'story', right?"
Lu Qiuzhi is a suspicious person, and when he gets there, he will definitely test them by making insinuations.
"Well, the experiences you made up have been shown to them a long time ago, and by this time, they have been fully recovered."
"That's good."
After making sure there was nothing wrong, Gu Jiu took them to the entrance of the mirror field.
The madam has a very good eye for beauty. Even if several people are wearing plain clothes or rough clothes, they can still see some beauty.
"Come on, come on, you're all hungry. Uncle has prepared some snacks for you."
Lu Qiuzhi happily distributed snacks to everyone, then showed them around, and finally chose to start his first lecture under the sycamore tree.
Reading is false, passing the name is true.
After the official meeting, stories about Lu Qiuzhi began to spread.
"I have already reached an agreement with Lu Qiuzhi. The second group of people will arrive in one and a half months. Now we will teach and meet once every half month."
The madam nodded.
"According to the current trend, it will take at least three months to achieve the results we want. It takes too long. Although your village chief said this in your village and indeed asked several children to go to the city to study on the same day, the time is too long. If it grows too long, it’s inevitable that the trap will be exposed.”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu propped his chin on the table with one hand, thinking of any way to shorten the time.
"If you speed up the progress rashly, you are more likely to be discovered. The best way at the moment is to indirectly promote it through another thing."
But what kind of event is good to create?
Gu Jiu crossed his arms and felt the letter on his body.
letter……
Got it!
"I've thought of a way, let's wait..."
Gu Jiu whispered his plan into the ear of the madam. The madam looked surprised at first, but the more she listened, the more obvious the smile on her face became.
"I can't see it, you are so damaged!"
Gu Jiu: "...This is called wisdom!"
"Go, go, go, be smart and smart."
…
Gu Zheqi will not let Wang's death be in vain. He failed to send Gu Jiu in yesterday, and he will definitely find a way to do it again today.
"Gu Jiu!"
As soon as Gu Jiu entered "Jiuyang Bookstore", he saw Shi Yuyan sitting and waiting for her.
"A rare visitor, does Miss Shi have something to do with me?"
"Yes! Let's talk in detail somewhere else!"
"But I still have something to do, and there aren't many guests at the moment. If you have anything to do, Miss Shi, you can just say it."
Gu Jiu turned sideways slightly and avoided Shi Yuyan's hand.
When she heard this, Yuyan looked around hesitantly and went out because she was afraid that someone would suddenly come in and overhear and have a bad impact on Gu Jiu. At the moment, it seemed that the other party didn't care.
"Auntie, was it you who harmed her?"
"no."
"But……"
"No buts."
Gu Jiu interrupted Shi Yuyan and continued: "Miss Shi, you must have solid evidence to suspect something. At least you must find out how and when my eldest aunt died, and I was Is there any possibility of committing murder at that time? If so, then you are qualified to ask what you just said! Instead of just coming up with doubts based on nothing!"
"No!" Shi Yuyan shook her head and said seriously: "I have evidence, A Qi said..."
"Isn't my cousin wrong? No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. How can my cousin, an ordinary person, guarantee that every judgment is 100% correct?"
Shi Yuyan was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Miss Shi, my cousin asked you to come to me?"
"No, it's me. Aqi asked someone to tell me that he couldn't come to see me in the past month. I was worried about going to see him, and then I found out about it."
After saying that, Shi Yuyan paused for a long second before continuing: "Gu Jiu... A Qi feels very uncomfortable now. Why don't you go over and explain to him?"
"Gu Jiu, Aqi is really feeling uncomfortable right now. It's the first time I've seen him cry!"
Gu Jiu: ...who hasn’t had a first time yet? Besides, am I some idle and cheap thing? We don't get along with each other in the first place, but why would we rush to someone else's house to get scolded?
