That night, the people who had been staying on the mountain for a month finally woke up, and Jing Le broke the barrier.
He also dealt with a few shadowy figures while he was at it.
The next day.
The entire city's residents gathered around the announcement outside the city lord's mansion.
People who can read help read it to the people.
"The announcement stated that the city lord and Young Master Zhongqiu had been controlled by villains, but a powerful master has been found to kill them."
Moreover, all the missing women were victims of criminals, and those criminals were dealt with last night, so everyone no longer needs to worry about the women.
In short, it's about giving the people an explanation.
The City Lord's Mansion.
Yang Guan knelt on one knee and reported on the operation of the previous night.
"Your Majesty, I have imprisoned all of Bai Zhengcheng's men, but I have not seen Bai Zhengcheng."
Actually, it was only with the help of Shadow Six and the others last night that we were able to expose all the traitors hiding in the shadows.
When Yang Guan saw those people, he could hardly believe it; many of them were his subordinates.
"Bring the person up."
Emperor Jing waved his hand, and Ying Yi brought up a person, who was none other than Bai Zhengcheng.
"Bai Zhengcheng!"
Yang Guan looked at the person who came in with surprise; the person he couldn't find last night was actually here.
"I'm leaving the person to you. Remember this incident; if it happens again, you'll be punished for multiple offenses."
Emperor Jing said in a deep voice.
Yang Guan still needs to guard this place; it's impossible to really remove him. There's no one to replace him right now.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."
Yang Guan was extremely grateful and knelt down to kowtow.
This scene caused Bai Zhengcheng, who had just entered, to shrink in the pupils. There was only one person who could make Yang Guan act like this, and that was the current emperor.
The imposing man he met last night was none other than the Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty.
It's over, completely over.
After things settled down here, Jing Le and the others did not linger and prepared to return to the capital, though not in as much of a hurry as before.
And they also chose another path.
The reason was that Emperor Jing planned to take Jing Le on a nice trip.
What they didn't know was that the eldest and second princes in the capital were so worried that they were losing clumps of hair.
Wenyuan Pavilion.
"Brother, when will Father return? I can't take it anymore."
The second prince looked at the stacks of memorials in front of him and felt a headache coming on.
During this time, they fully realized how terrifying Emperor Jing's daily workload was, and understood that that position was not one that ordinary people could hold.
The thought of one day having to handle all the government affairs that two people can't finish now makes my scalp tingle.
"I want to go back to my fiefdom."
The eldest prince finished reviewing the memorial in his hand, put it aside, rubbed his temples, and sighed: "Second brother, I also want to return to my fiefdom."
"I think the affairs of the fiefdom are enough for me to handle. Let's leave the important matters of the country to capable people."
"After Father returns to the capital, I will earnestly request that Father allow me and the Crown Prince's wife to get married as soon as possible, and then we can go to our fiefdom together."
He spoke these words sincerely. After experiencing the hardships of being an emperor, he felt that it was better to stay alive.
I fear that if I stay in a certain position for a few years, I might die young.
Why? Because I'm tired.
The second prince felt a pang of unease when he saw how sincere the first prince's words were.
After everything that happened, he no longer wants that position at all.
Guarding your fiefdom is actually quite good; riding a horse won't kill you.
But if the eldest prince also loses interest, wouldn't the pressure fall on me? After all, Emperor Jing had his eye on him before.
"Your Majesty, I think you are right. I will speak with you when the time comes."
In short, don't even think about getting this job done to you.
He also wanted to go out and enjoy the scenery whenever he had free time.
Meanwhile, Emperor Jing, who was still thousands of miles away, was completely unaware that his throne was being despised.
The carriage drove by, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Sir, Pingji Town, located just ahead of Lanyuan City, is the town of Pingji. I heard there's a special sacrificial festival tonight."
The streets are lined with vendors at night, offering a great opportunity to stroll around with your little one.
Shadow Six had already gone to town to find an inn before returning, and also inquired about the situation there.
Let's go.
Inside the carriage, Jing Le was sleeping soundly in Emperor Jing's arms, carefree and oblivious to the world; after all, she was still just a baby.
Eating well and growing taller is her most important thing right now.
A horse-drawn carriage and a dozen or so horses slowly entered the town.
"Hey, did you hear? There's an extra item to be added to tonight's ceremony."
"Add what? Isn't it the same every year?"
"You don't know this, do you? I heard there was a widow in Ningtong Village who was promiscuous and was drowned in a pig cage last month."
I heard a few days ago that he crawled out to get revenge.
It was noon, and the locals eating in the inn's lobby chatted and drank, talking about the everyday happenings in the neighborhood.
And strange things.
Jing Le and the others walked in at that moment.
I happened to sit next to the group of people who were having a lively conversation.
"Boss, bring the food first."
Ying Liu had already paid, and they were just waiting for Jing Le to arrive so they could eat.
"Alright, please wait a moment, sir, it'll be right there."
The shopkeeper immediately responded with a smile.
The people at the next table didn't pay any attention to Emperor Jing sitting next to them with Jing Le, Duan Feibai, and a kitten.
He continued:
"Don't you believe me? That widow was actually wrongfully killed. Her resentment was so strong after death that she crawled out of the lake."
The man who had violated her died that very night, and his death was gruesome.
