Liu Rui shook her head. Although she said that, her face was full of smiles, and she was happy with her idea.
"I wonder where Sister Li Er is staying tonight," Li Fang asked.
"Don't worry, my family has an empty house on the outskirts of Kyoto. Second Sister Li will stay there for one night. When the city gate opens at dawn, she will go into the city. Then we will hear the good news." Liu Rui said.
Li Erjie is a servant in Liu Rui's family, and this mission was handed over to her.
"I hope nothing happens." Liu Wenjing suddenly felt scared.
When these words came out, the two frowned, and Li Fang said unhappily: "Wen Jing, you are not so timid when bullying civilians."
"Li Fang, what do you mean? When have I, Liu Wenjing, ever been timid?" Liu Wenjing said angrily.
Doesn't this mean that she bullies the weak and fears the strong?
"Stop arguing. We are all good sisters. Wen Jing is not wrong. She is right to be worried. After all, the matter has not yet come to a conclusion."
The wise Liu Rui interrupted their quarrel, waited for them to look over, and then said seriously:
"Wenjing, don't worry too much. No matter the outcome, the Fourth Prince can't deal with us."
"Why?" Liu Wenjing asked.
"Because the Fourth Prince cannot enter Kyoto, he can't attack us this time." Liu Rui raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
The two's eyes flickered, and after thinking carefully, they understood instantly. The Fourth Prince was punished and was not allowed to enter the capital for a year. As long as they stayed in Kyoto, they would be safe for a year. Even if the Fourth Prince wanted to cause trouble, he would not be able to do so.
As for one year later, that’s what will happen one year later.
"Haha, Sister Liu, you are really amazing. You even thought of this." Li Fang said admiringly.
"That's great, Sister Liu." Liu Wenjing said happily.
"cheers."
The three of them raised their glasses happily, feeling particularly relaxed, to celebrate their victory, to avenge their great hatred, and to relieve the anger in their hearts.
"Hehe... This is just the beginning. We still have half a year to play with him slowly. Even though we can't beat him, we can still cause him trouble."
"Humph, he made us unhappy, so we have to make him unhappy too."
......
Yinshi is 3:00 a.m.
Xiuhe Village.
The hall was brightly lit. After two hours of interrogation, Eunuch Hai and Li Wei were reporting the results to Situ Xiu.
"Your Highness, those people have confessed. We have confirmed that the masterminds are the daughters of three Shangshu families: Miss Li Fang, Liu Rui, and Liu Wenjing."
Situ Xiu knew what was going on and was not surprised. He said expressionlessly, "Bring them all up here."
"Yes." said Eunuch Hai.
Soon, 32 people were brought into the hall, covered in wounds, and knelt on the ground. Before the Fourth Prince could say anything, they begged for mercy one by one.
"Your Highness, please spare our lives. I will never dare to do it again."
"The untouchables deserve to die. Please spare my life, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, spare my life..."
Those who cry and howl are afraid of death.
"Stop arguing. I haven't slept all night. It's all because of you guys."
Situ Xiu glanced at them coldly, and all 32 people were so frightened that they dared not make a sound, with a look of horror on their faces.
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. The village is short of manpower. All 32 people are detained. From today on, all the hard labor will be done by them."
"Yes, I'll leave it to you," said Eunuch Hai.
The eyes of the 32 people flickered and hope rose in their hearts. As long as they could survive, there would always be a chance to escape.
Situ Xiu smiled coldly, seeing through the tricks these people were planning at a glance, and said coldly, "How did you get here tonight? You better remember this. You can't escape from my grasp no matter where you are. If you don't believe me, just try it. I'll kill anyone who catches me."
The voice fell.
When they heard the last word "death", all 32 people looked desperate. Although they all had martial arts skills, they didn't know what was going on when faced with the strange things happening tonight. They fainted for no reason and arrived at Xiuhe Village when they woke up.
This is one point. The key point is that their escape routes are closely connected. There were no mistakes and no wasted time. They must have ridden their horses for a long distance without stopping. It was impossible for anyone to catch up with them.
As a result, he was caught in a confused manner. It was weird... very weird.
Eunuch Hai and Li Wei looked at each other, their eyes communicating, and no one knew what they were thinking.
But when the two looked at the Fourth Prince, their eyes changed subtly.
From now on, the Fourth Prince is their heaven.
Just imagine, if he is so experienced at the age of 9, wouldn’t he be so terrifying when he grows up...
Li Wei took 32 people with him. All of them were crushed by the Fourth Prince's words. The last glimmer of hope in their hearts was shattered. No one thought of escaping because they were all afraid of death.
After everyone had left, only servants and maids were left in the hall. Eunuch Hai looked at Situ Xiu from the side, waiting for instructions.
After a moment of silence, Situ Xiu took a sip of his tea and asked, "Where do the wealthy young men of Kyoto usually go to have fun?"
"Tianxiang Garden, Huakui Tower, and Yiqu Garden are the three major entertainment places in Kyoto." Eunuch Hai thought for a while and said.
