“That’s good. The group of people you’re talking about is a specialized assassin organization called Gingko.
“According to our investigation, they belonged to the Su Family. They aren’t just assassins; they are also responsible for collecting information from all walks of life.
“They can be considered pawns of the Su Family.”
“Su Family, King Kang?” Gu Chengrui asked in surprise.
He had always thought it was the First Prince or the Marquis of Ding’an. He had never thought that it would be King Kang’s men.
Previously, he had always wanted to rope him in and even sent spies to his side. Could it be that King Kang had always wanted to confuse him and find an opportunity to kill him?
Butler Feng looked at his expression and roughly guessed something. He said, “Otherwise, it could be the scholars are scheming.
“If loyalty could be measured, the Su Family’s loyalty to Consort Shu and her son is only seventy percent.
“Su Chengxiang, that old fox, is much more sinister than King Kang.
“He’s attacking you now to suppress you and target the Imperial Residence.”
Gu Chengrui looked at him with a face full of admiration. Prime Minister Su wanted to use him to stir up King Rui’s power in the capital, but he only knew this because Zhou Ying heard it personally.
He did not expect Uncle Feng to be able to analyze this so profoundly. No wonder King Rui dared to let him manage his entire residence.
“I see. Let’s be careful, then. I have to go back now.”
“I’ll send another team of guards to protect you.”
“There’s no need. We won’t leave the capital for the time being. You’d better guard yourself. We can’t fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.”
“If he wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain, why can’t we lure him into a trap?”
Gu Chengrui’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “I see. We’ll listen to your orders then.”
“Let’s cooperate on this.” Butler Feng said with a smile.
After Gu Chengrui returned, Butler Feng immediately sent a team of 50 guards to the Gu Residence openly.
He later informed the spy, Leng Zi, to send the news over and promised to let him and his family leave immediately.
He also sent a team of spies to the streets to monitor the Su Residence’s every move.
On the other end, Gu Chengrui waited for the guards to come over and split them up to patrol the residence.
He led the leader into the room and asked, “Brother, does Butler Feng have any instructions?”
“Lord Gu is too polite. You can just call me Captain Chu.”
“Captain Chu, oh, what is your relationship with Guard Chu?”
“He’s my cousin. I’m not as skilled as my cousin, so I couldn’t join the imperial guards.” After introducing himself, Guard Chu added, “By the way, Uncle Feng’s orders are that we will stay here during the day and only half of us at night. The other half will quietly return to the residence. When the time comes, we will have to trouble Lord Gu for your cooperation.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be that simple.
“How about this? You guys stay here and wait for there to be movement.
“Nine of you will stay at night but leave all the guards’ clothes behind.”
“What do you want to do?”
“Prime Minister Su isn’t stupid. He’ll definitely investigate in advance of any operation.
“So I will make some dummies to fool them.”
“I understand. However, we must do it as soon as possible, as they won’t wait too long.”
“I will.” After that, Gu Chengrui quickly arranged for them to rest in the guest courtyard.
After arranging for them to settle down, Gu Chengrui returned to the main courtyard. Seeing that Zhou Ying was sitting at the table reading a book, he walked over and leaned over to hug her neck. “Babe, do me a favor.”
“Speak.”
“Help me make some scarecrows as soon as possible, and at least ten of them. Their arms and legs have to be able to move.” Gu Chengrui briefly explained his plan..
