"Yes... yes..." The butler was frightened by Xu Chang's intense reaction.
Xu Chang's eyes almost popped out of his head: "What is it? Tell me quickly."
"It was the prince. The soldiers guarding the city said that the prince sent people to assassinate but they were caught red-handed. The people Du Yi hung at the city gate are all the first-class guards of our mansion." The housekeeper was almost in tears after he finished speaking.
Xu Chang's face turned pale. He paused for a few seconds, let go of the butler, and almost collapsed into the chair.
"It's over, it's over..."
Given the Eighth Prince's temperament, he... thought of how the Eighth Prince killed someone at the palace banquet that year... and the hairs on his body stood up.
"I heard that the notice said that as long as the master goes to pick up the people in person, the assassination will not matter. If no one goes to pick up the people, they will be hanged at the city gate." The butler continued.
Xu Chang immediately waved his hands and said, "I cannot admit it. I order everyone in the palace not to admit it."
"Yes, yes."
Xuchang was extremely panicked. No one in the capital dared to offend the Eighth Prince. Hongwen had no idea what courage he had to send people to assassinate the Eighth Prince.
Devil, evil...
Suddenly, Xu Chang had an idea and thought of the fifth princess.
Everyone in the court knew something about the hatred between the Fifth Princess and the Eighth Prince...
"Damn it! I told you that evil bastard Hongwen couldn't be so bold! It must be her, it must be her." Xu Chang murmured through gritted teeth.
Marquis Xiang Ming, the Eighth Prince, Ye Qianning, and all the people who were alive in Sifang Mountain ten years ago are all here.
It is not surprising that the fifth princess took action secretly out of hatred in her heart, but if she wanted to do it, she could do it herself. Why did she have to drag the Earl and his wealthy family into it?
"Sir, Sir, something's wrong..."
The hurried servant arrived before he even arrived.
Xu Chang was already frightened enough, and when he heard the panicked voice, his heart trembled. He stood up suddenly, felt dizzy, and fell back into the chair. At the same time, the servant also ran in in panic.
"Master, something bad has happened. A group of Jinyiwei have surrounded our house."
Xu Chang's heart skipped a beat. Here they come, the debt collectors are coming...
"Has the prince returned from court?" Xu Chang asked hurriedly.
"Not back yet."
Xu Chang seemed relieved and hurriedly said, "Send someone out through the back door immediately. Make sure to stop the prince and don't let him return home."
"yes."
The servant got up and was about to run out.
"etc."
The servant braked suddenly and asked, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Let the prince go out of the city and hide for a while. Let him wait for a message from the palace. Don't let him come back without a message from the palace."
The Eighth Prince has always been a ruthless killer. If he were to meet Hongwen, would his son still be alive?
"yes."
The servant hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Xu Chang walked back and forth twice, cursing his useless son several times in his heart. How could a tall and strong man not think twice and listen to a woman's words and dare to assassinate the killer?
After scolding his son, he began to scold Sang Shu, saying that she was short-sighted, spoiled and unruly, and he didn't know what the evil creature liked about her!
"master."
Upon hearing the news, the lord and his wife hurried to the hall.
Xu Chang looked up: "Madam, why are you here?"
"I just heard from the maid that the Jinyiwei surrounded our house. Did something happen to the Lord?" Mrs. Xu asked anxiously.
Xuchang opened his mouth and closed it again.
"Master, something bad has happened. The Jinyiwei are banging on the door..." Another servant came in in a panic.
Xu Chang's face turned pale.
Madam Xu was also terrified: "Master, what's going on? Did you...did you offend the Fifth Princess?"
