When Minister Gu was thinking about the matter of lending money at high interest, he suddenly remembered that the situation in the mansion had improved a lot recently.

"Ms. Zhu, you were not involved in the loan sharking business, were you?"

Before, Zhu came to him and said that she planned to use the money from the household allowance to start a business with 20,000 or 30,000 taels, saying that she could earn several thousand taels of silver a year.

Ever since returning Xie's dowry to Gu Zhao, the mansion has been struggling to make ends meet. When Minister Gu heard that Zhu could earn several thousand taels of silver a year, he naturally agreed.

Hearing Minister Gu's question, Mrs. Gu Zhu quickly shook her head.

"Master, I don't have any."

"You really don't?"

Gu Zhu shook her head guiltily.

When Minister Gu heard that Gu Zhu kept denying it, he said with a serious face.

"Zhu, this matter is very serious. If you really get involved, don't blame me for not protecting you when something goes wrong..."

When Zhu heard what Minister Gu said, she said with a look of grievance on her face.

"Master, what are you talking about? Don't you know what kind of person I am? All these years, my heart has been with you, and everything I have done is for you and our children..."

Gu Zhu played the emotional card and talked about the past.

"I still remember that when we first met, you saved me..."

When Minister Gu heard what Zhu said, he also thought of the past.

His expression softened a little.

After Gu Zhu came out of the house, she went straight to her son's yard.

"Qing'er, what should we do now? Give mother some advice."

Gu Qing naturally knew about the matter of lending money at high interest. When he heard his mother say this, he spoke up.

"Mother, the best way now is to send the shop owner away... Then we can say that he is guilty and has fled..."

Gu Qing came up with an idea.

Although Gu Qingnian is young, his methods are much more powerful than those of Zhu Shi and Gu Rong. Whatever he does, he kills directly and never leaves anyone a chance to survive.

Now he said this, he was planning to have someone kill the shopkeeper on the road, then his family could put all the blame on the shopkeeper...

This way, both the mother and the Gu family can be picked out.

Hearing her son's words, Gu Zhu nodded.

"Son, you are right. This is the only way we can do this. Anyway, the contracts for selling their families' bodies are in our hands. I don't think they can cause any trouble..."

After Gu Zhu and Gu Qing finished discussing the matter, they immediately sent Nanny Zhu to arrange it.

Soon, Gu Zhao got the news. She immediately arranged for someone to follow. Of course, the shopkeeper and the other people had to be saved. Otherwise, how could Zhu be sent to prison?

"Qin Yi, send a team to follow them and rescue them before they attack..."

"Yes."

Qin Yi immediately took the order and sent a team of people to follow Zhu's people.

If Gu Zhao had snatched the person away first, the shopkeeper and the people involved would not have thought anything of it. But if he had saved the person at the critical moment of life and death, that would have left a deep impression on people and would have made these people hate the Zhu family.

It wasn't just their family that was confiscated and exiled, it was nine generations of their clan that were implicated.

If they were the only ones to die and their families could be saved, they would definitely be willing to do so. But if all nine clans were to be exterminated, they would naturally not be willing to take the blame.

If they knew that their master had already planned to make them take the blame and wanted to kill them, they would only hate them even more.
