Dong Xuzhi naturally knew that Gu Songhan was not easy to fool, and he didn't expect the two waiters to be very loyal to him. He didn't go far either, and he saw everything that happened in front of the shop.
To say I'm not afraid would be a lie!
Seeing that Gu Songhan had mobilized all the soldiers of the Military Command again for a woman, he felt a little excited!
To mobilize the entire military command twice for one's own selfish gain, even someone appointed by the Emperor cannot act so recklessly!
Dong Xuzhi withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Segu lying on the bed.
This girl isn't exactly stunningly beautiful, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!
He wanted to see whether Gu Songhan valued the position of deputy commander of the Northern City Garrison or this beautiful woman more!
He summoned someone and handed the clerk the note he had just written, along with the gold and silver tassel earring that Jiang Segu was wearing. The clerk quickly took the note and left...
Dong Xuzhi intercepted Jiang Segu for no other reason than to obtain the position of deputy commander!
The last deputy commander's position in the North City Military Command should have been his!
But the Emperor changed the matter easily with just one sentence!
He thought that even if people came, it would be easy to quietly eliminate someone with no background!
Unexpectedly, before he could even make a move, Gu Songhan dealt with him.
He originally intended to use his brother-in-law to punish Gu Songhan, but his brother-in-law advised him to behave himself!
He was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it, but unexpectedly, this little girl fell into his hands!
It's clear that even God is on his side!
We should also thank that fool Wu Feitao, otherwise he would never have known that someone like Gu Songhan had someone he loved!
"It all depends on whether Gu Songhan values the past more or you more!"
Commander Ma, Dong Xuzhi's brother-in-law, was unaware that his brother-in-law was doing something reckless and dangerous. He stared blankly at the empty military headquarters, feeling a headache coming on.
Gu Songhan is really starting to disregard his position as commander, daring to reassign all his men...
Just then, the cook from the Military Affairs Bureau slowly approached from behind him and cautiously asked, "Commander Ma, are you still preparing lunch?"
"So, are you going to do it or not? If I don't, what will I eat?!"
Having received the answer, the cook ran off in a flash, leaving Commander Ma no room to maneuver whatsoever!
Commander Ma, feeling a surge of anger rising in his chest, decided to follow the cook to the kitchen of the Military Commandery to display the might befitting a commander!
All the cooks were silenced like quails by his shouts, and seeing this, Commander Ma felt much more at ease!
Little did he know that two hours later, he would be just as terrified as those cooks…

Now let's talk about Gu Songhan.
He led his men to search eastward from the back door of the shop, but they found nothing along the way.
Just then, a little beggar walked up to him.
"Sir, someone gave me a few coins and asked me to give this to you!"
Gu Songhan took it and saw that it was the earring that Jiang Segu often wore. A fire suddenly ignited in his heart.
He opened the note, on which were written: "If you want people to be at peace, first cut off your right hand and offer it to them!"
Gu Songhan clenched the paper tightly in his palm, his aura of violence increasing dramatically.
But then he quickly opened the paper to examine it closely.
This paper is not the common Xuan paper, but a fine ribbed paper. It is extremely thin and soft to the touch, just like silk brocade, and it is dyed in cyan.
Ribbed paper is used for repairing rare books or for detailed mounting, while dyed paper is used as book covers or leaf protectors.
It's quite rare to see something cut to this size.
Gu Songhan summoned Shao Zhengnan, "Go and find out where this paper came from!"
The trembling beggar standing to the side regretted making the trip for a few coins.
He quietly shifted his feet, thinking of taking the opportunity to slip away, but the next moment, Gu Songhan's gaze fixed on him.
"What else did that person say to you?"
"Tell me to..." The little beggar glanced at Gu Songhan's right hand holding the knife, swallowed hard, and then mustered his courage to say, "Tell me to deliver the official's hand to the Jixiang Teahouse."
Jixiang Teahouse is located in the western part of the northern city. To get there from where he is, it would be equivalent to crossing the entire northern city.
Based on the timeline, it's impossible for Dong Xuzhi to have traveled from the east of the north city to the teahouse in the west of the north city in such a short period of time!
Gu Songhan pondered for a moment, then directed a group of people to the Jixiang Restaurant.
He then led his men back to the jewelry shop they had visited before.
"Use this shop as a starting point and search each one one by one!"
"yes!"
When Dong Xuzhi saw Gu Songhan return and search house by house, he was not flustered at all, but rather looked forward to what would happen next!
When Gu Songhan led the two to Suwenxuan, where Dong Xuzhi was, Shao Zhengnan rushed over.
"Reporting to the Deputy Commander, this paper is from Suwenxuan and is given to customers who buy books as bookmarks. However, only a rough draft of this paper has been cut out and has not yet been painted or cut."
"Surround Suwenxuan!"
Gu Songhan threw the knife directly onto the table in front of the Suwenxuan shopkeeper. "Where is Dong Xuzhi?"
The innkeeper trembled and pointed upstairs, "It's...it's upstairs in the top-class private room."
Just then, Jiang Segu, who was tied up to a stool, woke up. She instinctively tried to scream for help, but a knife was pressed against her face.
Cold and terrifying.
Dong Xuzhi stood behind her. "Don't rush, Gu Songhan has arrived. I just want to see whether he chooses beauty or future prospects! Aren't you curious too?"
I'm not curious at all!
