After patiently listening to Gao Lang and the others' report, Shang Xiche fell into deep thought.
If the robbers of the national treasury last night weren't those two bandits from the Marquis of Anping, then who else in the capital would have such audacity?
Could it be the Ninth Prince?
That seems unlikely. The Ninth Prince isn't just bored and has nothing better to do. If he wanted silver, he wouldn't have turned over all the spoils from the treasuries of the two countries when he destroyed Nanli and Beiguo. He could have just kept them for himself.
Then there is only one option...
Shang Xiche suddenly remembered the "Young Master Jia" incident, in which he was secretly reported by a mysterious person when he was in Tongyou.
Although the Crown Prince denies it to the death, and the illicit silver has not yet surfaced, the evidence is irrefutable.
Could it be that the Crown Prince did something that cost a lot of money in private, and suddenly there was no longer such a large deficit, so he turned his attention to the national treasury?
Shang Xiche thought about the losses to the national treasury last night more carefully. The amount seemed to be similar to the account of "Young Master Jia". The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had found the right direction. He couldn't help but feel furious: "Good, they all have grown wings. I haven't even grown old yet, and they all want to ride on my head and play tricks!"
So, while still savoring his sweet dreams, Crown Prince Shang Dongyang was summoned from his bed to the Imperial Study and given a furious scolding.
When I came out, it felt like the sun in the sky wasn't bright anymore.
Looking back at the old man who had seen her off, she had a "MMP" in her heart, but she didn't know whether to say it or not.
Eunuch De knew that the Crown Prince was upset after being reprimanded, but the person who scolded him was the Emperor. What could a mere eunuch like him do?
He was helpless too!
With a polite yet awkward smile, Eunuch De watched the Crown Prince, who was seething with anger, leave, and then let out a long sigh.
What a mess these days! It feels like there's never been a moment of peace ever since that bandit family came to Beijing!
Ji Fengming had nothing to do early in the morning, so he strolled around the streets, tossing peanuts along the way.
The Ji family's sworn enemy made a brief appearance and then disappeared again.
Ji Chenhai summoned half of the Donglongmen forces to the capital for secret investigation and defense, and rarely had time to show his face.
Therefore, he is the one who has to take responsibility for the recent embarrassing incident involving the Marquis of Anping's residence.
Chen Xiaoyi spotted Ji Fengyao's arrogant, bandit-like gait from afar, and a nameless rage welled up inside him.
"Hey, Kyoto has always been my territory, Young Master Chen's territory. How dare this country bumpkin from the mountains be so arrogant?" Chen Xiaoyi glanced back at the squad of guards he was leading, feeling even more confident.
Chen Xiao might be a little intimidated by a group of bandits, but he wouldn't back down against a single bandit.
He's going to get back the face he lost to Black Owl and the young master of East Dragon Gate that day by taking it out on these bandits!
"Xiao Yi, let him go about his business, let's talk about ours, let's not provoke him," Xue Mingtao advised in a low voice.
"There are so many of us, and he's all alone. What's there to be afraid of?" Chen Xiaoyi slammed his hand on the table and stood up, quickly blocking Ji Fengming's path.
Ji Fengming was feeling utterly bored when a little toy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, making him overjoyed.
On the surface, he pretended to be startled, like a virgin encountering a thug: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
"Don't you recognize me? I'm your second uncle from the Chen family!" Chen Xiaoyi laughed wildly, becoming even more arrogant.
He enjoys seeing others look at him with such a startled expression.
What kind of ruthless bandit is he? He's just scared of his domineering aura like a timid little wife.
