At noon, after the imperial doctors left, Rong Qi Wang became more and more angry.
What happened last night must have been done by Rong Baichuan, who deliberately pretended to be a thief and left a note at the door in order to clear himself of suspicion.
Fortunately, the guards of the private vault were always his own people, otherwise he would be penniless now.
He took the three or four newly hired guards and their weapons and headed to the General's Mansion.
We can’t just let this matter go today!
As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Rong Baichuan.
Looking at the aggressive group of people, Rong Baichuan asked with a smile, "Where are you going, second brother?"
Rong Qi Wang was extremely anxious today and hadn't even had a hot meal yet.
Rong Baichuan actually came to provoke him, and smiled at him cheerfully, full of energy.
He came here on purpose to make fun of himself!
Absolutely!!!
He immediately rushed forward and grabbed Rong Baichuan by the collar.
At this time, Lord Chen, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, walked out from behind Rong Baichuan.
Rong Qi Wang immediately stopped his actions and suppressed his ferocious expression.
"Why is Master Chen here?"
"I heard your house was robbed last night, so I sent someone here to investigate. Master Rong, do you have time to chat with me about what happened last night?"
Lord Chen glanced at Rong Baichuan. Judging from the expressions just now, the two brothers were not getting along. No wonder they suddenly wanted to separate.
Could it be that Rong Baichuan was the one who caused the theft?
This person is capable of doing such a thing.
But what did he mean by asking me to check it out?
If the investigation leads to him, should we suspend it or continue?
He was just a small fourth-rank official, and the last thing he wanted to do was to get involved in the affairs of these bigwigs.
If you are an ordinary citizen, you can find out whatever you want.
These people...you still have to act according to their mood!
trouble!!
"Yes, yes, yes, Sir Chen, please come in..." Rong Qi Wang hurriedly invited the person in.
After Lord Chen brought the people from the government office in, Rong Baichuan also went in with a man who looked very flattering.
He first went to Yihuayuan and saw that the old man and the old lady were still asleep, so he asked someone to invite Mrs. Hu to the front hall.
As soon as Mrs. Hu arrived, he apologized first.
"I'm so sorry, sister-in-law...I was negligent in protecting her."
"I've invited the owner of the workshop to come for you. Just tell him what kind of guards you need, and he'll definitely find the best for you."
Rong Baichuan spoke in a dignified manner, as if he was paying wages.
The corners of Hu's mouth twitched, and she said with a forced smile, "Thank you so much, big brother."
"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Rong Baichuan simply ignored the gnashing of teeth in her words.
"If you need anything else, just tell me and I'll call the boss over for you. You don't have to make this trip and can stay home and take care of your whole family."
"I won't bother you choosing someone anymore. I'm going home to eat."
After saying that, Rong Baichuan specifically instructed the workshop owner to send the best guards to the Annan Marquis Mansion, so that it would not be robbed and taken advantage of by thieves again.
Mrs. Hu tightened her handkerchief in anger.
Who caused this to happen to the Marquis' Mansion?!
After receiving instructions from Rong Baichuan, the workshop owner specially selected guards with excellent martial arts skills for the Marquis' Mansion.
That’s the price... naturally higher than ordinary guards.
"Eight taels per person per month! You are robbing us!" Mrs. Hu cursed.
The nanny and the head maid in charge of the mansion only earned four taels of silver a month.
A new guard costs eight taels, who can afford it?
The savings in the treasury were snatched away by the eldest wife, and now all expenses have to be paid from her private treasury.
Mrs. Hu didn't want to waste that money.
She drove the workshop owner away and went out to look for it herself.
That person must have been bribed by Rong Baichuan and deliberately raised the price.
However, there is a difference between casual workers outside and guards who have received professional training.
The work is messy and the sense of responsibility is not enough.
Don’t make a mistake in the future and blame Rong Baichuan.
…
Rong Baichuan has been keeping an eye on the Minister of Revenue Zhao Zhang these days, trying to find his fault as soon as possible and take away the eldest prince's purse.
Instead of finding Zhao Zhang's mistake, he noticed another interesting thing.
Those living on Yong'an Street were all royal relatives and high-ranking officials who were deeply favored by the emperor.
After finishing his work in the evening, he went home for dinner. In order to save half an hour's walk, Rong Baichuan directly climbed over the wall of Prince Jing's Mansion and went to Minister Zhao's Mansion on the back street.
I didn't expect that on a dark, windy night... Pah, with the moon and stars sparsely lit, under the bright and clear sky, there were men and women in Prince Jing's mansion, using the sky as a blanket and the ground as a mat, behind the rockery, just so white and naked...
Rong Baichuan quickly covered his eyes, it was too ugly!
Do not look at or listen to anything indecent.
He was about to take a detour when he suddenly heard...
"Who is more powerful, me or your prince? Tell me!" The man's joyful and fierce voice sounded.
“You…of course you are…awesome…” The woman’s voice was intermittent, and she was breathing heavily and rapidly.
"I don't know what medicine he took wrongly. He's been staying in that old woman's house for the past half month and hasn't even been to other people's yards... I'm almost suffocating..."
Rong Baichuan's face flushed with embarrassment when he heard this.
The two were also very bold. They had an affair in the palace and not only did they not know how to restrain themselves, they also dared to speak loudly.
Are you really not afraid of being discovered?
But listening to their conversation, the woman should be King Jing's concubine.
Thinking about what Chaoxi said at the palace banquet that King Jing had green hair on his head, could this be what he was referring to?
And if he helps someone else raise their son, doesn't that mean his only precious son is not his?!
This is really... what a pitiful man!
Considering that King Jing had such a miserable life since childhood, Rong Baichuan decided to help him.
He turned around and went to find King Jing.
Coming to the roof of the study, Rong Baichuan took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote, "Green Head, go to the back garden and watch the show, your house has been robbed!"
He crumpled the paper into a ball, lifted the tile on top of King Jing's desk, and flicked it hard.
Suddenly, King Jing was hit on the head and fell backward.
A red mark instantly appeared on the forehead.
"Who! Someone come here!"
King Jing picked up the paper ball and called out to people.
The eunuch in charge who was guarding outside heard King Jing's voice and quickly pushed the door open.
"My Lord, what happened?"
"A thief sneaked into the palace, and no one noticed. Who is on duty tonight? Take him away and punish him severely!" King Jing said angrily.
The dignified Prince Jing's Mansion was quietly broken into by thieves, who even shot him on the forehead with a paper ball, and no one noticed!
If he was an assassin, then no one would know if he died!
"Yes, yes, yes... I will send someone to track down the criminals right away..."
Seeing the red mark on King Jing's forehead, the eunuch in charge was afraid that he would be implicated and immediately withdrew.
King Jing opened the paper ball, saw the words on it, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it hard on the ground.
He gritted his teeth and growled, "Rong Baichuan! How dare you trespass into the palace? I will definitely report you tomorrow!"
Then he shouted, "Someone come..."
The eunuch in charge hadn't taken a few steps when he heard the shouting and turned back. Looking at King Jing, his face became even more grim, and he said tremblingly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
King Jing's eyes were stern, "Go find Rong Baichuan for me!"
