The madam saw he was about to leave and hurriedly stopped him, "Young master, don’t rush!"
"Wait for to think."
She pretended to think for a while, "I rember now, there was a girl from Lichun House who was thrown out because she got sick. I felt sorry for her, so I let her stay in the backyard. I’ll have soone bring her over now."
In no ti, the girl arrived.
Ah Hu waved his hand for the madam to leave.
He spoke softly with the woman for a long ti, then took out a silver note and placed it on the table.
The woman quickly nodded.
Then she went back.
Ah Hu waited with the carriage at the back door of Chunxiang Building.
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, he saw the woman co out.
The woman was wrapped in a cloak, with eyebrows and eyes ticulously painted, her face powdered, appearing enchantingly beautiful.
When the carriage reached the back gate of the Qian Mansion, Ah Hu stopped the carriage.
Looking around, he swiftly scaled the wall into the courtyard with a few strides.
Then he opened the courtyard gate, and the woman slipped inside.
With her head lowered, the woman followed Ah Hu hastily.
The two of them crossed the yard, went around the front door, and only then did Ah Hu step forward to knock.
Soon, a woman ca to open the door, and seeing Ah Hu and the woman, was taken aback.
Ah Hu gruffly said, "The master sent her to serve the gentleman."
The woman dared not say anything, stepping aside to let the girl in.
The woman led the girl to Zheng Juren’s bedroom and closed the door after leaving.
Zheng Juren was in pain all over, unable to sleep, and with the sudden arrival of a beauty, he was overjoyed, "Co quickly, I’m in pain all over, help massage."
The beauty smiled and took off the cloak.
Zheng Juren’s eyes bulged like copper bells.
The beauty was wearing a thin gauze dress, her fair and tender skin faintly visible in the dim candlelight.
Heat rushed through Zheng Juren, and he reached out his hand, "Hurry, co and massage."
The beauty smiled alluringly and walked toward Zheng Juren with all her grace.
······
Ah Hu waited outside the back door for over an hour, and the woman opened the door and ca out.
The two got into the carriage, and Ah Hu took the woman to the back door of Chunxiang Building, and only then drove the carriage back.
Jiang Youzhi was lying in bed, not yet asleep, and upon hearing Ah Hu drive the carriage in, he finally closed his eyes at ease.
Ah Hu first went to the kitchen to fetch hot water and took a bath.
He then went to the store to find the disinfectant solution Gu Yunjiao often used and doused himself with it randomly before going to bed.
The next morning, Gu Yunjiao got up early and only noticed the store reeking of disinfectant solution.
She thought the solution had spilled and asked the staff to clean it thoroughly.
At the ti when the sun was rising, a governnt officer suddenly arrived at the entrance of Renxin Hall.
Gu Yunjiao thought to herself, perhaps they’re here to collect taxes.
Just as she was about to fetch the silver, she saw two governnt officers co in, surveying the area, "Who is the owner of Renxin Hall?"
Gu Yunjiao stood up, "I am."
One officer waved his hand, "Co with us."
At this mont, Jiang Youzhi and Lin Shuo, who were playing chess in the corner, also stood up.
Gu Yunjiao had no idea what was happening and turned her head to look at Jiang Youzhi.
Jiang Youzhi quickly approached, speaking softly, "We will accompany you, there will be no trouble. I’ve arranged everything, rest assured."
Hearing this, Gu Yunjiao imdiately felt at ease.
She knew Jiang Sanlang had always been thorough in his considerations. Since he said everything was arranged, there would surely be no issues.
She gave Zhang Shun so instructions and then followed the governnt officers out.
Ah Hu stayed behind in the shop.
Lin Shuo and Jiang Youzhi followed closely behind Gu Yunjiao.
The group soon arrived at the governnt office of Xiang City.
Gu Yunjiao took a step inside and saw Zheng Juren lying on a wooden door panel, moaning in pain.
As Gu Yunjiao entered, Zheng Juren showed a sinister smile.
