Chapter 506: Everyone is in danger
Although people in the capital didn't know who the bandit was a few years ago, he appeared again now. Everyone in the capital was in danger. Even the emperor became nervous this time and directly gave the job of guarding the national treasury to Murong Li.
Murong Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was really safe to give this task to him.
This also shows that the emperor still has doubts about him. He should go back early in the evening and tell Yue'er not to take any action recently.
If we are to take action, we must do it on the day he ascends the throne.
It must have been a busy day.
Not only did they invite people from the other three kingdoms to attend the ceremony, they also invited many underworld forces, such as the current Flying Eagle Gang, the Dragon Palace...
Of course Qingyuan was also invited.
It will be a very lively day. There will be people who don't want him to ascend the throne and will definitely give him generous gifts.
So the events on that day will definitely be quite exciting.
In the afternoon, Su Yue was walking on the streets of the capital. There were not many pedestrians on the streets. Some were in a hurry, and some were whispering while walking, all talking about the bandit.
Su Yue listened to those words and wondered how she could be a bandit.
His words became more and more outrageous, saying that if she was caught, her entire clan would be killed.
None of the ten clans, the emperor and his royal relatives can escape.
Su Yue couldn't help but laugh. If he knew it was her who did it, would he dare to say such words again?
Su Yue strolled slowly and saw that there were more yamen runners patrolling the streets.
What made Su Yue laugh even more was that many shops selling expensive things actually added more staff to watch over the customers. They watched the customers coming in and out as if the bandit was hiding among them. They looked at the unfamiliar customers like thieves.
It makes customers who come into the store to buy things feel bad.
"What are you doing? You're looking at me like a thief. I may look a bit imposing, but I'm not a thief."
At the door of a shop selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, a burly man was shouting.
The big man was well-dressed, but he was tall and strong, and a bit dark, so he didn't look like an ordinary person.
"Excuse me, sir, our shop is closed for business today as we need to take inventory."
Seeing that the man was about to explode, the shopkeeper came out quickly, bowed and nodded, and apologized with a smile.
The burly man frowned, pointed at the customer in the shop, and said angrily, "What's wrong with the customer in there? Boss, do you also think that I look like a bandit? You really think highly of me. I'm just selling things on orders. Isn't Princess Li's restaurant opening the day after tomorrow? She has to give a gift anyway. My master asked me to sell a valuable item."
“This, this, this…”
The shopkeeper was speechless for a moment. He looked at the customers who stopped to choose things in the shop and was speechless for a while.
"What is this? I am from General Wei's mansion. If the shopkeeper doesn't believe me, you can send someone to ask."
The burly man had no choice but to reveal his identity.
The adults said that he was a big man and no one would dare to rob him when he came to buy things, so he came, but people in the shop would not let him in.
It made him so angry.
If the general hadn't told them not to cause trouble, he would have punched them.
General Wei was originally a general guarding the southern border. When he was the former crown prince, he was accused of being incompetent at guarding the border and was replaced. Since then, he has been idle at home.
General Wei is also very low-key.
The people in his house were basically soldiers who had followed him to the frontier battlefield, and some of them were disabled soldiers.
Such soldiers cannot go to the battlefield and have nowhere to go, so they can only stay in the barracks, and are assigned to do dirty and tiring work.
When General Wei resigned from his post, he thought that these soldiers had been through life and death with him, and he could not bear to see them suffer in the barracks. When he came back, he brought a group of them back with him and placed them in his mansion as guards, and he supported them himself.
Su Yue couldn't help but frown after hearing what the burly man said. There was nothing wrong with what the man said, and he didn't say that on purpose. He was just telling the truth.
But it may not sound like that to other people. They may think she is taking the opportunity to make money.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the people passing by, the people in the shop and the owner all showed a thoughtful expression.
The shopkeeper gave a wry smile and said, "Since you are from General Wei's residence and have come to select a gift for Princess Li, please come in, sir."
"snort!"
The burly man snorted at him and said, "Don't look at people with tinted eyes."
After saying this, the burly man stepped in.
"Madam, will this have any impact on the opening of our restaurant the day after tomorrow? Will it have any impact on the palace?"
Yueying saw this scene and quietly asked Su Yue. Outside, Su Yue asked her to call her Madam instead of Princess.
Su Yue nodded: "Of course it has an impact, but it doesn't affect us much."
No matter what, leaving the Prince Li's Mansion will not have much impact on its reputation.
Li Wangfu had never held any banquets, nor had she accepted any gifts from anyone. There was nothing wrong with her inviting everyone to the opening of her restaurant.
Also, her restaurant is open for long-term business, not just for one or two days. As long as you have eaten the food in the restaurant, I believe no one will say anything behind her back. No one will say that she is making money, but that she is genuinely promoting the restaurant, but her way of promotion is different from others.
So it doesn't matter if people talk about her or question her.
She was free in the afternoon so she went out for a stroll, but she didn't expect to see such an unexpected scene.
She robbed so many families back then, but people in the capital were never so nervous.
This only shows that the four major families have too much influence on the people in the capital.
This made her determined to get rid of the four major families, as the four major families had too much influence on the Xifeng Kingdom.
This is not just a time bomb, but an atomic bomb. Once it explodes, the entire Xifeng Kingdom will be paralyzed.
After listening to Su Yue's words, Yueying felt that what she said made sense and she was no longer so worried.
Otherwise, the three of them would have to be busy again tonight to warn those who talked nonsense.
After a round, Su Yue lost interest and returned to Prince Li's Mansion.
However, she had just returned to Prince Li's Mansion when someone from the Marquis of Anding's Mansion came to tell her to go there.
So Su Yue came to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion again, but just as she entered the mansion, the old marquis called her to the study.
Before Su Yue even sat down on the chair, the old marquis blew his beard and glared at her, saying, "Everyone outside is talking about it, why are you still acting like nothing happened?"
Su Yue smiled and said, "What are people saying outside? What did Grandfather hear?"
The old marquis glared at him, "You're still playing dumb. Why are you sending invitations to every household when your restaurant opens? It's spreading everywhere now. People say the Prince Li's Mansion is desperately poor and is probably starving, so they're taking advantage of the situation to make some money."
