Chapter 528 Discovery of Suspicion
Su Yue left the affairs of the palace to Hongyu to handle. She took Hongye out of the city and they went to Feiying Mountain to see how the Feiying Gang was doing now.
This is their property now and they cannot just ignore it. Also, Su Yue wants to see if the leader of the Ma Gang has ever returned.
That man was also a talented person. He was able to escape even after being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. His whereabouts have not been found to this day.
This troublemaker must be found, otherwise he will cause trouble again on the day Murong Li ascends the throne.
"Princess, the capital is so bustling. Our restaurant is probably packed every day."
Hongye said as she looked at the endless stream of people in the city.
"Um."
Su Yue responded softly, and from her voice, one could tell that she was in a good mood.
In the past half month, the restaurant has been packed every day, making her a lot of money.
Wait until she comes back from Feiying Mountain and hold another auction.
These envoys from various countries and representatives of major forces are all wealthy people, and they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune from them.
When Murong Li ascended the throne, he would definitely grant amnesty and reduce taxes. These all require money. How could he grant amnesty and reduce taxes without money?
We also need to carry out large-scale construction projects, build water conservancy projects and defense projects, all of which require a large amount of money.
What’s the use of that little bit of money in the national treasury?
Since we have taken over Xifeng Kingdom, we must build Xifeng Kingdom into a country with strong citizens.
The carriage successfully left the city and headed towards Feiying Mountain.
It was almost dark when the carriage arrived at the foot of Feiying Mountain.
"Princess, should we go up the mountain or find a place to rest for the night?"
This time, Yueying acted as the coachman, and she asked Su Yue.
"Let's go up the mountain."
Night is the best time to do things, because poisonous insects, snakes and ants come out at night, making it the best time to catch them.
"Okay, then I'll stop the carriage."
After Yueying finished speaking, she parked the carriage and helped Su Yue get off.
There were only Su Yue and Hong Ye in the carriage. After helping them get off the carriage, Su Yue put both of them into the space.
After the three of them had their meal in the space, they said to Hongye, "Yueying and I will go up the mountain later, and you stay in the space."
They are not afraid of the dark, but Hongye is not, because she does not have enough internal strength.
Hongye nodded.
Su Yue and Yueying rested for a while before coming out and going up the mountain.
They went up the mountain just as quickly as they could during the day.
This place is rarely visited. Murong Li withdrew his men early in the morning, and Feishan is now empty.
It took them half an hour to reach the top of the mountain.
As soon as Su Yue came up, she spread out her spiritual power. Sure enough, there was no one on the mountain. No one lived on the mountain and no one cleaned it. The mountain was full of fallen leaves, and when the wind blew, they made a rustling sound.
Su Yue expanded her mental power to the courtyard in the back mountain.
"Huh?"
When the spiritual power reached the backyard, a faint light shone from the yard. Su Yue immediately waved her hand and said, "Yueying, let's go and take a look at the yard in the back mountain."
"Princess, is anyone there?"
Yueying saw that Su Yue looked a little anxious and asked hurriedly.
"Well, there's a light. Let's go take a look."
Yueying had never been to the backyard, so Su Yue led the way and the two of them quickly headed towards the backyard.
Su Yue used her mental power to check as she walked. She could only see lights, but no human figures or voices. It was very quiet and strange.
Su Yue was wondering, could it be that the people in the yard went to bed so early?
When the two arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they saw that it was open. The light was on in the main hall. There was an oil lamp on the table, and the flickering light swayed from side to side, as if it would go out at any time.
"Princess, there seems to be no one here. Did they notice us coming and run away in advance without even having time to blow out the oil lamp?"
Yueying asked quietly.
Su Yue nodded: "It's possible, let's go in and take a look first."
So the two of them entered the yard and came to the main room, which was clean and tidy.
In the past, she had collected most of the furniture in the yard, and the house was empty and messy. Now the house is full of furniture, but the materials of these furniture are not as good as before.
After taking a quick look in the main room, Su Yue came to the bedroom on the right, which used to be the child's bedroom.
Su Yue went in to take a look. The room was still filled with children's things. It was obvious that there was a child living there.
She looked into the other room, which was also filled with furniture and had everything.
Looking at these, Su Yue was sure that the Ma gang leader and his family had returned here to live.
He is really smart. The most dangerous place is often the safest place.
No one thought they would come back, but he came back anyway.
They probably retreated quickly when they saw their carriage at the foot of the mountain, but we can't catch them if we go out to chase them now.
Anyone who can escape from the Sky Prison must have very clever means.
So Su Yue thought about it and decided not to chase after him. She and Yueying searched the yard to see if there were any clues left.
Smart people are smart people. They didn't leave any clues, and the two of them worked in vain.
It was getting late, so the two of them simply went into the space and waited until tomorrow to talk about it.
It is said that after the leader of the Ma Gang came out of the tunnel with his family, they found themselves in a small farmyard. Seeing that there were no pursuers, the family rested there.
Adults can handle the rapid escape, but children cannot.
After arranging everything, Gang Leader Ma heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had escaped a disaster.
"Boss, someone is coming from the capital."
Gang leader Ma had just recovered when his men came to report.
This is their main base for communication, and all news is sent here.
Gang leader Ma said in a deep voice: "Bring the people in."
"Yes, boss."
Soon the subordinate brought in a man. The man was in his thirties and looked honest, but the gleam in his eyes was not something an honest man should have.
"Meet the gang leader."
The man immediately saluted the leader of the horse gang.
"What news do you have that you deliver in person?"
This man is the most important secret agent in the capital. Generally, he will not leave the capital unless there is something important, and no one will come to see him in person.
It was all thanks to this man that Gang Leader Ma was able to escape from the prison successfully, and the investigation has not yet led to his culprit.
The man immediately said, "I have received accurate information. The day the emperor appointed the crown prince, he actually abdicated and Murong Li ascended the throne."
He must deliver such important news in person, and after delivering it, Gang Leader Ma will definitely have other tasks to arrange.
Gang leader Ma was startled when he heard this: "Is this news true?"
This news was too sudden, so his arrangements were useless.
The man nodded firmly. "It's true. This is information sent by a secret agent in the palace. Not many people know this. Does the gang leader have any plans?"
