Chapter 264 Zhang Heyao comes to the rescue?

"Investigate? Check it out, it's not me who did it."

Lu Qiniang thought to herself, as long as you don’t do anything wrong, you don’t have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.

What is she afraid of?

"You're always so stupid." Zhang Heyao was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. "If anything happened to the emperor, do you think you wouldn't be hurt?"

Lu Qiniang was also a little panicked, but at this moment she was unwilling to beg Zhang Heyao.

She wondered where Xiao Yan had gone?

Come back soon!

No, she couldn't listen to Zhang Heyao. Maybe he was just trying to scare her on purpose.

Hold on, hold on.

"If you deal with it now, people might accuse you of having a guilty conscience... No!" Zhang Heyao asked, "Where is your gunpowder?"

"You ask..."

"I'm asking you where the gunpowder is! I can't possibly kill you!"

"In the dock warehouse." Lu Qiniang asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Someone come here!" Zhang Heyao shouted behind him.

Two men who looked like guards walked out from the crowd.

Lu Qiniang: “…”

She just knew it!

What about going home alone? That’s all a lie.

If she continues to believe Zhang Heyao's words, she will be a fool!

"You two, go to the banknote counter right now and find the guard. Tell them it's my order that there might be smuggled goods in the warehouse at the dock. The warehouse must be sealed immediately and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Send someone to guard it for twelve hours. After you're done, have Sun Shun come to see me. I'm right here."

"yes!"

The two men took the order and left.

What Lu Qiniang actually wanted to say was, aren’t you talking nonsense?

They are doing legitimate business, how could they be smuggling anything?

But she also had a vague feeling in her heart that Zhang Heyao really seemed to want to help her.

"Is it really that serious?" she asked quietly. "There are so many people making firecrackers and fireworks in the capital, we can't arrest them all."

That can't be closed.

"I hope not." Zhang Heyao said coldly, "I don't want to have to use connections to visit the prison later."

Lu Qiniang: “…”

She looked around, waiting for Xiao Yan to come back.

She could only believe what Xiao Yan said without any hesitation.

She always felt that she shouldn't believe what Zhang Heyao said.

Zhang Heyao probably guessed what she was thinking and sneered, "You trust him. I hope you won't regret it in the future."

"I will never regret it more than trusting you."

Lu Qiniang was just unwilling to be outdone, and even responded subconsciously, but when Zhang Heyao heard it, it made his heart ache.

"Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan--" Daya shouted with tears in her eyes as she watched the people on the city wall retreating in chaos.

"Young lady," the guards of the Duke's Mansion advised her, "this is too chaotic and too dangerous. At this point, we can only step aside and wait and see. I'm afraid, I'm afraid we can't help much."

"Yeah." Daya almost bit her lips, forced herself to calm down, retreated to the side of the road, and looked at the chaos on the city wall.

"Zhao Zhao!" Xiao Yan finally found her in the crowd, thanks to Ah Huang's help.

"Dad!" Daya almost burst into tears, but she held it back.

"Dad, I saw the prince wandering around incognito," she explained the whole story succinctly. "But on the city wall, the emperor and the prince were having fun with the people. That's when I realized the masked prince on the city wall might be a double!"

Considering that the emperor has increased his vigilance and now has used a substitute, it can only mean that the emperor has foreseen the danger in advance.

He loved the prince the most and would not allow him to take any risks, but he himself took advantage of the situation and lured the snake out of its hole.

"That must be the case. Jiang Xuan is protecting the prince, but he may not be aware of it. Dad, I'm afraid he's in danger." Daya's tears fell.

Jiang Xuan, please don't get into any trouble.

"You go back first." Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, "I'll stay here to get some information. You take your mother, two sisters, and Yun Ting home and wait for me. Don't wander around."

"Okay. Dad," Daya said again, "gunpowder is used to blow up the city walls. Will we be implicated in it?"

She thought of it too.

"At this point, even if we're involved, it's already like this." Xiao Yan said, "Be obedient and go home first. Don't let your imagination run wild. Jiang Xuan is a skilled martial artist, and after all, he's still by the emperor's side. He's surrounded by many guards, so he'll be fine."

Daya understood that this was just consolation, but there was no better way.

"Dad, be careful."

"Okay, I know what to do. Let's go back." Xiao Yan bowed to the guard beside Daya.

Daya finally squeezed back and immediately closed the stall with her sister, then went to meet up with Lu Qiniang.

Erya was like an angry little lion when she saw Zhang Heyao. "What are you doing here, you ungrateful, heartless thing? You come to disgust my mother again."

Daya said in a deep voice: "Mom, the streets are very chaotic now, let's go home first."

"But what about your father?"

"I met my father, he's fine. He said he wanted to get some information and asked us to go back first."

"Okay then. Where's Jiang Xuan?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Have you seen Jiang Xuan?"

Daya fought back tears, "No, he's with the emperor, he'll be fine. Mother, let's go home first."

"good."

Seeing them packing up and preparing to go back, Zhang Heyao said, "I've already sent people to seal off the dock warehouse."

These words were not spoken to Lu Qiniang, but to Daya.

"The rest is up to fate."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Lu Qiniang didn't dare to delay and repeated everything he said to Daya one by one.

Daya nodded, "Mom, he did the right thing. Don't panic, go home first and make a long-term plan."

If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster; if it is a disaster, there will be no escape.

Lu Qin's mother was extremely upset and couldn't help but think that she only knew that she had made a fortune, but had no idea that there would be so many troublesome things behind it.

Will I lose money and avoid disaster later?

If it can eliminate disasters by losing money, then that's fine...

Although I still feel sad, at least we have to protect these people.

The mother, daughter and Yun Ting went home first.

No one was sleepy and everyone was anxiously waiting for Xiao Yan to come back.

In the end, San Ya couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep first.

Xiao Yan didn't come back until the middle of the night.

He brought back good news and bad news.
