So much so that at night, Little Rich Son didn't even give a good face to someone from the Xu Family, which made Ji Changhuai extremely happy.
But when he returned, Ji Changhuai felt that something was wrong. It was fine to give others a look, but why did he give his father a look?
"He's been sent?"
Without waiting for Ji Changhuai to ask Little Rich Son, Little Rich Son was the first to ask about it. His face was as dark as it could be.
Ji Changhuai's face fell: Hmm, the Xu Family are full of people, looks like this matter is related to them too.
Listening to Ji Changhuai's serious expression, Little Rich Son turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
"I'll leave tomorrow."
"Hmm? Do you have the heart to abandon me, your father, in such a dangerous place? Let me tell you, the poison in my body has not been cleansed.
This pissed him off. He had grown up with his son, and now that he had a wife, he forgot about his father.
"She's in danger."
With just one sentence, he managed to shut Ji Changhuai up. Alright, alright, alright, who told this lady to be weak?
"Go, return as soon as possible."
"Yes."
The next day, the news of Regent being assassinated by assassins spread. They were currently unconscious and heavily injured.
The Regent was furious and searched the homes of all the officials around.
The emperor did not even dare to make a sound, he had even gifted many things to comfort the Regent, and had the Jin Wu Guards thoroughly investigate this matter. He even wanted to come to see the Regent, but was injured so badly by the Regent that he could not even see the emperor.
This search didn't matter. He'd found some silver coins of unknown origin from the few officials' residences and pulled out a few corrupt officials.
No one had the time to pay attention to the situation of the Regent, as they were all worried for their own heads.
Little Rich Son and Mo Ba had met in Yunhai County, and the two sides had almost fought each other when they met.
"prince, something has happened to Miss Kim."
Mo Ba looked at the few blades hanging on his neck, swallowed his saliva, and ripped off the black cloth covering his face, revealing his cracked lips. This was the result of two days of travelling without rest.
Little Rich Son's pupils constricted and the pressure in the room instantly dropped by several degrees. "How is she?"
"He was slandered by Xu Ziqi's men and killed Jin Dabao. He's currently in the Lishui County's dungeon."
"We're leaving immediately."
With that, Little Rich Son disappeared from the room. Other than the window that was opened wide, there was nothing else.
Mo Ba pursed his lips, despair filling his eyes. He had not closed his eyes for two days already, could he rest for a bit?
If he knew that prince cared so much about Jin Weiwei, he would have rested for a night before coming to prince.
"..."
Jin Weiwei sat in the cell with his knees in front of him for four days as he thought deeply for four days.
Combined with Cheng Yu's and Wang Hai's words, she was sure that they had fallen into a trap, a trap that had long been laid out for them.
From the moment Cheng Yu came in, some people had already started to scheme. First, her store had been harassed, the price had been pushed down, and then the relief food that came later had been robbed. Then Wang Hai came to ask for food from her, and Ma Chengfu had donated ten thousand kilograms of food.
There was definitely someone backing Ma Chengfu up. Listening to what Cheng Yu said, Ma Chengfu was a person who coveted the position of the Lishui County Merchant Guild's President, so he would definitely not be bold enough to challenge Wang Hai.
Could it be Xu Ziqi?
The first person Jin Weiwei suspected was him, he was from a royal family, and also had enmity with Wang Hai. Other than him, Jin Weiwei couldn't think of anyone else.
When Little Rich Son arrived, the people from the imperial government just happened to have arrived as well.
One of them was the commander of Ji Changhuai's faction, Shi Feng Cen, and the other was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Che. He worked for the emperor and was pushed up by the people from Xu Family.
Feng Cen was knocked out and robbed just as he reached Lishui County.
"Who are you people!?" Do you know who I am! "You are tying up the imperial court's officials. If you catch them, you must kill them!"
"Alright, stop blabbering around. Let's see who it is, then you can speak."
Mo Ba impatiently picked his ears and ripped the cloth bag off Feng Cen's head.
"prince?!"
In the capital, who didn't know of this? Don't offend the Regent easily, don't look at how good you are normally.
Even though Feng Cen was from the Regent camp, he did not dare act rashly.
"Yes."
Little Rich Son's gaze was still outside the door, not even once landing on Feng Cen.
"What orders does prince have?"
Feng Cen had also calmed down. He had been conferred the title of an envoy by the Regent and he could not forget who it was that had given him a future. He could not afford to offend the person in front of him.
"Right now, you have to take good care of Prefecture Wang Hai and Jin Weiwei, the owner of Jin's Rice & Noodles Shop. If you can't do it, then you don't need to wear this hat."
Mo Ba still understood Little Rich Son quite well, and even went to take a look at Little Rich Son after he finished, only relaxing after seeing that he did not have any objections.
Feng Cen, who was an expert at reading people's expressions, nodded his head hurriedly, "This subject will definitely protect these two. prince does not need to worry."
Little Rich Son then gave her gaze to Feng Cen. The coldness in her eyes caused Feng Cen to shiver and feel a deep threat.
"I cannot reveal my identity."
"Yes, this subject will definitely remember that."
Feng Cen was curious. There was no one in this Lishui County that could threaten prince. Why would prince avoid his identity?
"Yes."
Little Rich Son nodded his head, he raised his cold face and Feng Cen immediately left the room.
"prince, what do we do next?"
Mo Ba rubbed his two black eye circles as he asked this. He definitely had to ruthlessly torture these people, so it was not in vain that he hadn't slept for four days.
"Wait."
"Wait? What was there to wait for, it was clearly that bastard Xu Ziqi! Sigh … prince, where are you going? "
Mo Ba's face was filled with dissatisfaction, obviously, the prince could destroy this group of people with a move of his finger.
Mo Feng picked his ears, grabbed Mo Ba's collar and brought him back, saying: "Are you an idiot? prince must have gone to see Miss Kim. "
"Look at Miss Kim... Didn't prince say not to reveal her identity? "
Mo Feng sighed helplessly. He was suspicious of Mo Ba's IQ, for a moment, he seemed to understand the affairs between men and women, and for a while, he seemed to be an idiot.
"You haven't slept in four days, aren't you?"
Hearing Mo Feng say that, Mo Ba really felt tired, in the next second, his entire person fell into Mo Feng's embrace.
Mo Feng was startled, then looked at Mo Ba with disdain. He really wanted to throw the big bearded man away.
"..."
"Jin Weiwei, someone is here to see you."
Jin Weiwei suddenly jumped up. She had been out for so many days and no one could come in, why would anyone come to see her?
Even Cheng Yu and Wang Hai who were in the neighboring cells were leaning over. To be able to see their identity, they must not be simple people.
"Weiwei."
Before Jin Weiwei could react, he was already in a familiar embrace.
