He thought of something and pulled out the dagger. He held the letter in his hand and read it under the light. His face darkened.
After reading the entire letter, he abruptly smashed the table with his palm. "Guards! Master Hu and the Eighth Prince, Rong Che, please come in for a chat! "
The servants followed his order and went to invite them.
Gu Xijiu hid in the shadows. Her eyes flashed with a dark light, and the corner of her lips curled up slightly.
Rong Yan, you dare to plot against me, so you have to bear the consequences!
Trying to turn a big problem into a small one? It was impossible!
She had done most of the things that she needed to do. She just needed to wait for the result.
Gu Xijiu looked up at the crescent moon above her head. It was getting late and she should go back. She turned around and disappeared.
Although the imperial uncle's residence was heavily guarded, Gu Xijiu had the ability to teleport. In addition, she was very good at traveling at night, so she could come and go freely in the imperial uncle's residence without anyone noticing her.
Because of the search incident, Gu Xietian felt guilty to Gu Xijiu. Therefore, he agreed to all of Gu Xijiu's requests.
For example, he gave her a quiet and luxurious mansion where she would not be disturbed and gave her four servants to do the rough work. Gu Xijiu finally lived the life of a rich lady.
Leng Xiangyu had been in charge of the affairs in the General's mansion for a long time. Among the eight people that were sent, there were naturally spies of Leng Xiangyu who were responsible for watching Gu Xijiu's every move.
Gu Xijiu of course understood this and she also knew that the spies were among the four servants that were serving her and there must be more than one of them.
She was an assassin, and she was best at observing people's words and expressions. Finding the traitor was a piece of cake for her. She only needed to use a little trick to expose one of the maids, and she was caught on the spot when the maid was passing the message outside.
Gu Xijiu did not hesitate and ordered her servants to beat the servant half to death in front of everyone. She ignored the servant's crying and begging and found a broker to sell the servant.
As Gu Xijiu had conclusive evidence and reported the matter to Gu Xietian, even Leng Xiangyu could not stop her. She could only watch the servant being carried away.
Gu Xijiu's act of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was very effective. She had successfully shocked the other maids and servants.
Initially, they were not convinced by Gu Xijiu. However, after this incident, they finally realized that the usually weak and cowardly Gu Xijiu was not to be trifled with.
Even Leng Xiangyu could not protect them at the critical moment.
If he wanted to completely subdue these people for his own use, just relying on the Murderous Might Club was not enough.
Therefore, Gu Xijiu called the remaining seven people together for a small meeting and set a clear reward and punishment rule.
She also hinted that the reason why the maid was discovered was because someone had secretly reported to her, and she would reward that loyal person handsomely.
After that, she called the seven of them into the house. Sometimes, she would ask them some questions, and sometimes, she would just lock them up for a while before letting them out.
In this way, none of these people knew who was the one to be rewarded. They couldn't help but feel insecure, and their every move was extremely cautious.
Gu Xijiu was very fair when it came to rewards and punishments. If anyone worked for her sincerely, she would immediately reward them in front of everyone.
