Chapter 1118 Taking advantage of the night to leave the city and urgently change vehicles
Upon hearing that Marquis Guo Yuanming had ostensibly gone to his estate outside the city to recuperate, but in reality had gone to visit his mistress, Huang Ying, Ta Yun scoffed contemptuously.
"Marquis Guo Yuan of Dongping is a classic example of 'dying under the peony flower, even as a ghost, one is still romantic'!"
He's vomiting blood, he's sick, and yet he still wants to stay with his mistress!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyu sneered: "Since Marquis Guo Yuan of Dongping wants to stay with his mistress and children while he recovers, then let's give him a hand and let him recover more comfortably!"
Xiao Jingyu turned to look at Sui Feng, “Tomorrow at dawn, the news that Marquis Guo Yuan of Dongping is secretly keeping a mistress and has a son and a daughter with her will reach Princess Yanhua’s ears! He is now openly saying that he is going to the manor to recuperate, but in reality he has secretly returned to the capital.
Our people need to intensify the fire on site.
At the same time, taking advantage of the exposure of Dongping Marquis Guo Yuan's mistress, we should also spread the news that Xia Qinian, the Vice Minister of Rites, also kept a mistress in Lianhua Lane.
If we're going to create chaos, then the more chaotic the better!
Understand? "
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!
That's exactly what we want – chaos!
Tomorrow, there's nothing else to worry about, but chaos is definitely on the horizon!
Jiang Ciche's mansion was completely empty. With over a hundred people in the entire household needing to eat, drink, wear clothes, and take care of their belongings, it would be strange if things didn't get chaotic. Chaos was bound to continue.
Chaos is about to reign in Prince Yi's mansion!
Prince Yi cannot wake up;
The valuables of Prince Yi's mansion were also stolen;
What will happen to the family of the former Princess Consort of Prince Yi's residence after their deaths...? We'll see what Prince Yi's family does tomorrow!
Add to that the mistresses of Marquis Guo Yuan of Dongping and Vice Minister Xia Qinian of the Ministry of Rites, both of whom were exposed one after another, and their wives came knocking on their doors one after another... Just thinking about it is chaotic enough!
There's another big event at noon—taking down Wangdong Restaurant!
After the morning court session ends, one can only imagine the turmoil those officials with guilty consciences will feel upon hearing of this chaos!
As he recounted each item with the wind, the more he talked, the more excited he became!
I'm actually quite looking forward to tomorrow!
"There's another mess you shouldn't overlook!"
Xiao Jingyu reminded him.
"Thirteen of those East Venezuelan bastards have disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead. The East Venezuelan bastards are going to be in chaos!"
Keep a close eye on that small courtyard in the east of the city and the Wangdong Restaurant, and be on guard against any unusual activity there.
Furthermore, the protection of important officials of the court must be strengthened, and there must be no slackening in the slightest!
"Yes, we will remember!"
Following the wind, treading on clouds, and gliding across waves, they respond to the thunder in unison.
Just then, a guard's voice came from outside the carriage, "Reporting to Your Highness, we have arrived at the Duke of Anguo's residence!"
The carriage slowly came to a stop.
"Alright, I've entrusted everything to you during my two days away from the capital!"
You must be very careful.
Remember, chaos is acceptable, but losing control is not!
Xiao Jingyu added another instruction.
"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured, we understand!"
The four responded.
Xiao Jingyu got up to get off the carriage, but then remembered something.
"On your way back, when you pass by the Shuntian Prefecture government office, go and see the Shuntian Prefect Zheng Tong, and pass on a message to him, saying that it was me who said this—"
The theft cases at Jiang Ciche's Second Assistant Minister's residence and Prince Yi's residence need to be investigated, but there is one thing: starting today, you can go to Jiang Ciche's Second Assistant Minister's residence, but to save your life, you must not set foot in Prince Yi's residence again!
Make him remember this!
Oh, our people are the same!
In Xiao Jingyu's view, Zheng Tong, the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was a conscientious, fair and honest official.
Since he is a good official, of course he should be protected and kept in good condition.
Prince Yi's mansion, that godforsaken place that could be half-destroyed at any moment... A good official shouldn't take that risk in such a godforsaken place!
Sui Feng and the others responded, and Xiao Jingyu then got off the carriage and went directly into the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
Calculating the time, he thought Xiao Jingyu should have arrived by now.
Leng Rongyue carefully reserved all the spiritual spring water and fresh fruit from her space for the elders in her family.
As the elders of the Duke of Anguo's mansion once again reminded Leng Rongyue to be careful on her journey, greetings came from outside...
"This servant greets Your Highness Prince Yu!"
"This servant greets Your Highness Prince Yu!"
"..."
"His Highness Prince Yu has arrived!"
The eldest son, Fu Mingjun, looked outside and said with a smile.
As Fu Mingjun finished speaking, the dashing Xiao Jingyu strode in.
Xiao Jingyu did not take a seat. He only greeted the people from the Duke of Anguo's mansion before bidding farewell to them together with Leng Rongyue.
The crowd did not see them off far, but only escorted Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu to the side courtyard where carriages were stored and horses were kept.
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu boarded the carriage directly in the mansion. Xiao Jingyu personally drove the carriage out through the side gate for carriages and horses.
The Anguo Duke's Mansion prepared an extremely ordinary-looking carriage for the two of them, but the horses were of excellent quality.
The area north of the city where the Duke of Anguo's mansion is located is full of grand mansions and courtyards.
At this time, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
The carriage stopped in the shadows, and Leng Rongyue led Xiao Jingyu directly into the space.
Xiao Jingyu removed the jade crown from his head and took off his brocade robe, changing directly into a cotton short jacket.
She also had some makeup done on her face—not to make herself look prettier, of course.
On the contrary, Xiao Jingyu wanted to make his overly handsome face as ordinary as possible.
After the two left the space, Xiao Jingyu sat back on the carriage shaft and drove the carriage toward the city gate.
The centurion I had seen outside the city was still diligently guarding the city gate.
Seeing a carriage speeding straight toward the city gate from afar, the centurion guessed that this must be the important person the official had mentioned earlier, who would be leaving the city on official business in a little over an hour.
Upon reaching the city gate, Xiao Jingyu reined in the carriage and stopped it. He then showed the centurion a waist badge indicating he was a fourth-rank bodyguard with a sword.
For a minor official guarding the city gate, such a fourth-rank official's waist token was sufficient, provided that prior instructions had been given.
Since that's enough, there's no need to flaunt the prince's dragon-patterned jade pendant to intimidate people anymore!
Upon seeing the waist tag, the centurion immediately ordered his men to push open the heavy city gate. After watching the carriage leave the inner city gate and then the barbican, he then commanded his men to bolt and lock the city gate.
The city gates of the capital were finally closed!
As soon as they left the city gate, Xiao Jingyu whipped his horse to speed up.
The reason for speeding up at this moment was not entirely to save time or distance, but because Xiao Jingyu was eager to replace the carriage with that cool and stylish off-road jeep!
