Liu Sa thought for a second and then understood. He knew that Master Wen was telling the truth.
But seeing her expression, I knew it wasn't that simple.
Then he thought about the worst-case scenario, because he was the one protecting his master, so he had to consider everything carefully.
What do you want me to do?
"It's nothing. Just help me disguise myself as a young master. I'm going to meet that kid Lin Xiao tonight!"
With those words, a confident and cheerful smile spread across the woman's lips, as if she were overjoyed with her own idea.
"Yes, Master. I shall take my leave."
Liu Sa didn't notice the bitter smile on Wen Jinghao's face in the corner before leaping away with a light-footed movement.
The imperial city was bustling with activity. Yan Yu Kingdom was most famous for its business acumen, making it a place that business people aspired to and sought after.
Therefore, in a short period of time, Lin Xiao basically changed the bad atmosphere here, and the wealthy merchants were all brainwashed by this new emperor.
It even became a phenomenon that everyone was afraid of being offered this lucrative opportunity by Lin Xiao, so they fawned over him.
And look at the current hall master, he's just like that...
However...
The Xiang family, not far from the imperial city, is one of the wealthiest families in the town. Their ancestors were grandmasters who served the emperor.
However, their good fortune didn't last long. After they took over as the head of the family, everyone found it strange that the Xiang family, who were usually happy to help others, were now in a difficult situation.
Why are they all learning business now? Because, frankly speaking, their ancestors were all officials who earned salaries. They worked diligently their whole lives!
This action was truly puzzling, yet nothing seemed amiss. Therefore, no one paid it any mind.
Until one day, late at night...
To the south, the young master of the Xiang family's room was brightly lit, visible if the door were opened. Several stunningly beautiful actresses were gathered around Xiang Anjun.
Several girls dressed in thin clothes each had a cup of 'fragrant wine' in their hands. Xiang Anjun grabbed one of them with each arm, snatched the wine from their hands, and grinned lewdly.
He drank it all in one gulp.
The man didn't notice at all that the door was open; he only had a gut feeling because of the wind coming in.
"Who is it, Yan'er? Help me see who it is!"
The girl panicked and poured out all the wine in her hand, her hand gripping Xiang Anjun's trembling.
Because there were two men in black standing at the door!
"Young Master, someone is looking for you!"
"What are you trembling about? Who are you? Do you know that trespassing on your family's property is a capital offense?"
The man in black ignored him and held a steel knife to Xiang Anjun's neck, scaring the girls so much that they lay on the ground, too afraid to move.
"capital offense?"
"The word 'death penalty' is only appropriate for the emperor. Are you saying this because you want to become the emperor?"
Xiang Anjun was taken aback. So this group of people were after him?
He has had too much contact with court officials recently, but how did it become known so quickly?
"Gentlemen, I have no idea what you are talking about. Could you please clarify?"
The disguised Wen Jing sat on someone's lap without any politeness, her dark eyes narrowed, and she looked at him with a cold smile.
"Oh, really? It seems that only Young Master Xiang understands this."
He pulled a gold medal out of his pocket and threw it at Xiang Anjun, saying casually, "What, do you remember now?"
Xiang Anjun looked terrified.
"Yes, it's yours?"
