When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 81 The Troublesome Little Doll
As soon as Gu Hua sent Qi Yan away and returned to the main courtyard, he was surrounded by his four children.

The eldest, Gu Jingxi, has been intelligent and steady since childhood, while the youngest, Gu Jingchen, was a little weak because he was the last to be born and had been held back for too long. The two of them just held onto Gu Hua's clothes and looked up at her prayingly.

The second child and the third child, a girl, didn't have so many concerns. They hugged Gu Hua's thighs and climbed her like a tree, shouting, "Mom, mom, we heard you tell Sister Chunlan to pack her things. Are you going to go on a long trip again? Can you take us out to play this time?"

Gu Hua lowered his head and saw that his clothes were wrinkled by them. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he bent down and patted their buttocks.

"Who told you that? It's not true." Gu Hua was ready to deny it.

Gu Jingxi, with a serious face, asked, "Why did you ask Sister Chunlan to pack the clothes?"

Gu Hua choked and knew how she would answer.

"Did you also instruct Xiao Linzi to put some cakes and dry food that can be kept for a long time in the carriage?" The second brother Gu Jingyue was not to be outdone, and hurriedly told him the news he had heard.

The third child, Gu Jingxing, and the fourth child, Gu Jingchen, were not as smart as their two older brothers. When they heard that Gu Hua was going out, they hugged her thighs tightly and looked at Gu Hua pitifully, "Mom, mom, I want to go out and play, just take us with you."

Gu Hua raised his head and looked for help at the girls standing in the room. When he saw that they all chose to avoid him when they met his gaze, he knew that their hearts had long been inclined towards the four little ones.

"Do you still want this month's salary?" Gu Hua said hatefully.

Xia He and Chun Lan suppressed their laughter and said, "Master, in order for us to help them, the four young masters have already given us all their New Year's money as a reward."

Gu Hua was choked again. No wonder these maids didn't come to help. It turned out that they accepted bribes from these four brats.

Gu Hua didn't want to make a promise to have a child and then go back on his word, so he decided to play dead.

No matter how they struggled, Gu Hua acted like a brave man who would rather die than surrender, and he refused to take them to the capital.

These four little guys don’t even know what they look like. If I really take them to the capital and happen to meet that bastard, I’m afraid I’ll die a more miserable death than the original owner.

Especially the boss Gu Jingxi, who seems to be cut from the same mold as that bastard.

The remaining three little ones only look 50% similar to that man, so it can be said to be a coincidence. But if the eldest sister happens to meet him, how should she explain it?

Seeing that Gu Hua was determined not to take the little masters out, Xia He and Chun Lan looked over with resentful eyes, but seeing that their master was squinting his eyes and seemed indifferent, they had no choice but to come over and coax the four little ones out to play.

"Finally I got rid of these little ancestors. If they continue like this, I won't be able to bear it anymore."

No one noticed that before the four children were coaxed out by Chunlan and Xiahe, the little ones looked at each other, revealing so many thoughts and tricks in their minds.

……

Since he became rich three years ago, Gu Hua has secretly trained some people to collect information and intelligence for him, ranging from military intelligence, economic intelligence, political intelligence, archival materials, etc.

The means of obtaining intelligence were more diverse. She secretly opened elegant lyric halls for love talks in various places, and established a caravan to transport goods from north to south.

Wherever your shop goes, various information will be collected secretly in the shop. It is important to be well-informed when doing business.

night.

Gu Hua sat behind the desk.

In her hand, Mu Yu, who was assigned by her to manage the information collection, sent back the information he had collected in the capital. Even if she didn't have a backer, her money wasn't as rich as other wealthy businessmen and nobles, and she didn't have any means, she didn't have to go on this trip to the capital.

...If there is nothing, it would be a waste of time to go.

Mu Feng walked in, bowed, and reported: "Master, the Fuchuan you ordered to be customized a year ago has been roughly completed."

Gu Hua: "Feng Biao knows more about ships. Tell him to go with me when I come back from Beijing."

"Yes."

Suddenly Gu Hua remembered another thing, and then said to Mu Feng, "By the way, let Feng Biao ask him if there are any boatmen and sailors willing to go out to sea. If there are, let him pick out some useful ones. I will need them in the future."

Mu Feng: "Okay."

"Where is Murray leading the caravan now?" Gu Hua rubbed his forehead and asked, "Has there been any news?"

"The batch of silk and porcelain that was transported went to the border of Western Xinjiang. There are a lot of goods being transported this time, and I don't know if it will go smoothly."

Mu Feng frowned slightly, "My Lord, the news came back half a month ago, saying that on the road to the southwest, due to severe drought in many places, there were more refugees and bandits robbing the road, and some of the porcelain we brought was lost on the road."

Gu Hua wanted to go out some time ago because there were many victims of floods in the south. He had a bad feeling in his heart. He tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Mu Feng, what happened to the group of unruly and ruthless people left over from the Caoqing Gang?"

"Most of them seem to be obeying the instructions, but there are still a few troublemakers who keep asking us to let them go every day."

"Leave." Gu Hua curled his lips and sneered, "Let's go and take a look."

Mu Feng: "It's so late~"

Seeing Gu Hua stand up, Mu Feng followed him out of the study without saying anything more.

The two men, along with several guards, rode on horseback to a shallow dock on the canal. If a cargo ship wants to dock here, it must be pulled by trackers.

Those disobedient people were placed here by Gu Hua to work as trackers. Gu Hua didn't want the money they earned, but he just wouldn't let them leave.

If she hadn't secretly taken over the Caoqing Gang, seeing that these people had just joined and hadn't done anything bad, she would have pleaded with Governor Tian to protect them.

I'm afraid that even if these people are not beheaded, they will be implicated in treason and exiled to a barren land to starve. After all, their original intention of joining the Caoqing Gang was not to become boatmen and sailors.

The leader was called Zhong Zhengjie, and he was originally the head of an escort agency. He set a trap for the person who entrusted him with the escort in order to defraud the agency of compensation. In the end, the escort agency pushed all the responsibility onto their group of escorts.

In order to survive, this group of people who did not have enough money to pay in compensation eventually joined the Caoqing Gang, which helped them solve the problem.

Little did they know that the escort scam was a deliberate setup by Caoqing Gang leader Zhou Quan who wanted to expand his power. His goal was to lure these people, all of whom had martial arts skills and had become ruthless after escorting for a long time, to join him.

Fortunately for these people, before they could commit any robbery or other evil deeds, the fact that Zhou Quan and Gao Jinhu and others were paid to kill people for their employer was exposed. This group of people was then protected by Gu Huabao, who wanted to subjugate them and use them for his own purposes.

Under the cold moonlight.

Gu Hua, wearing a royal blue brocade suit and with a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes, just stood there quietly looking at the twenty or so strong men in front of him, who looked like they would never submit.
