Chapter 656: Throwing Things with Power
Bai Jinglie now wished he could do the work of three people at once, but he didn't expect that someone from the mansion would come and cause trouble at this time.
"When I came back a few days ago, the Marquis was still very energetic and threw things with great vigor. Why is he feeling uncomfortable now?"
He looked coldly at the steward kneeling in front of him. It was really difficult for him. He probably had just left the capital and this man was chasing after him.
"Please come back with me, my lord."
"This prince is acting on the orders of the emperor. Which one do you think is more important, Steward Li?"
Manager Li knelt on the ground, "...but about the Marquis..."
"Just go back and tell him what I said. As long as His Majesty orders me to return to the capital, I will obey." Bai Jinglie's tone was already filled with a hint of impatience.
This trick was used before to urge myself to go back. I finally managed to temporarily sort out the maritime trade in Lucheng and rushed back, but was greeted with a burst of rebuke.
He was even asked to assign all the managers in the mansion to maritime trade.
I really don't know where he got the courage from. He even wants to interfere in the affairs of the emperor. Does he really think he is still the marquis of ten years ago and can cover the sky with one hand?
As soon as I refused, I felt like I was the sinner in the entire mansion. They started throwing things around and hitting people in front of me. If I hadn't had to return to the palace to report, those guys would have probably taken responsibility for me.
I didn't expect that just after he left, he started sending people to notify me to go back, and he didn't even change the excuse, but directly said that he was critically ill.
For him, it would be better if he was really critically ill. When that moment comes, he can take the opportunity to rest for a few years.
If he had not been holding on all these years, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion might have disappeared from the capital.
It's true that people become more confused as they get older. They can't even see such a superficial truth.
Manager Li was almost crying. He was a manager of an outer courtyard, and he was assigned this task just because he was not popular. Now he was caught in a dilemma. What future did he have?
He really didn't want to come here. The prince was the future owner of the Marquis' Mansion. If he dared to speak more harshly, he might not even be able to get out of this door.
Bai Jinglie felt a little bored, so he flicked his sleeves and walked out, "Just go back and report this, he knows the result this time, and he won't blame you."
Seeing the person disappear, Steward Li was in tears. The Marquis might not say anything, at most he would just smash two cups.
But it’s different with the lady. If she were to keep an eye on him, he and his family wouldn’t know how to survive in the house.

Jin Qianqian rested in the official post company for three days. The small courtyard where she lived was filled with the smell of medicine every day.
The escort team that had originally docked with them nearby also left yesterday. Of course, even the mother and daughter of the Cen family did not stay.
Jin Qianqian had informed everyone yesterday that they would travel as planned today. At daybreak, she and Lichun helped Gu Wenheng, who was wrapped tightly, into the carriage.
"Madam, why don't we rest here for two more days and wait until the master has recovered before setting off again." Xu Dawang advised in a low voice, "It's not good for the master's health to travel so fast."
Jin Qianqian then opened the curtain and said to him, "This is the decision made by the master. We have been delayed enough on the way. If we don't leave quickly, we will miss the day of taking over.
For the rest of the journey, let's all cheer up and speed up."
"Yes," Xu Dawang gritted his teeth and said to the guards driving the carriage, "You have to drive the carriage more steadily. If you encounter a bumpy road, slow down.
The master is not feeling well now and cannot be shaken."
The guard driving the carriage in front quickly agreed, then pulled the reins and followed the team in front.
In the carriage, Gu Wenheng, who had been helped up by Jin Qianqian before, also lifted the cloth, revealing Gu Leping's nervous face.
"Aunt Seven, I didn't reveal any flaws, did I?"
Jin Qianqian smiled at him soothingly, "No, you've done a good job. I'm sorry to have to keep you here."
Gu Leping didn't understand why he had to go through all this trouble, but he was smart enough not to ask, "I should do something for Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven."
Jin Qianqian nodded, then sat on the other side with her legs crossed, lost in thought. She was also worried in her heart, wondering whether the plan Gu Wenheng had made before would succeed.
No matter how clever the other party was, they had already noticed the obstacles along the way and knew that someone didn't want them to arrive on time.
In order to prevent any abnormal situations from occurring along the way, Gu Wenheng had already disguised himself and was driving away in a donkey cart. Of course, he couldn't leave anyone alone with him, so he had already arranged some good men to wait for him in front.
I think these few days should allow him to catch up with his previously delayed schedule.
Gu Leping didn't say anything at this moment. He waited until the next rest stop, and then a maid replaced him.
On the second day, looking at the road that was also covered by the landslide, Jin Qianqian clenched her hands and quickly and calmly asked people to clear the road.
This time, they were well prepared and purchased a whole truckload of tools. Hundreds of people worked together and quickly cleared the road.
But then, problems of one kind or another kept popping up, and it was not until the day came when I was about to take over that the road began to go smooth, but no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't catch up.

Yeongchang County, Yi Province
Liu Xuan, the Censor-in-Chief, looked at the blazing sun and said to the scribe beside him, "It's already this late and no one has arrived yet. Let's go to the Governor's Mansion and say goodbye to Governor Liang."
"Sir, there is still half a day left. I really can't wait any longer."
Liu Xuan, "We won't leave until tomorrow at the earliest, waiting here is not a solution.
Although I hosted a banquet for Governor Liang and others a few days ago, I still had to make a real farewell.
Ask your servants to prepare the car. I heard that the Governor is in the palace today, so now is a good time to go there."
Shu Shi said nothing more and quietly went back to make arrangements.
Just as the carriage stopped at the gate, a speeding carriage blocked their way.
"You are blind. How dare you block the way of the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner? Move your carriage away immediately." The guard driving the carriage shouted loudly. The guard standing at the door also ran out and stared at the other party's carriage with a wary look on his face.
"We are here to take over Lord Gu's entourage. Lord Gu has come to take over. Please inform him." Ming Zhong and Ming Qin rode their horses to guard both ends of the carriage and shouted loudly.
This made the people nearby gather around curiously. They already knew that there would be a new Censor here, and they all wanted to have a first look at him.
The guard at the door looked at them suspiciously, "Do you have any proof?"
You know, the Censor would always be accompanied by his personal soldiers when traveling, so it would be a bit of a joke to just bring these few people and a carriage.
"This is our lord's business card. Lord Liu, who is waiting to see us, will present the imperial edict. Please notify us as soon as possible." Mingzhong took out the business card from his arms with a cold face.
