The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

It was still dark, Li Yi looked at Tang Xin's peaceful sleeping face, carefully took out his hand and got off the bed.

Putting on his coat, Li Yi went out of the house.

This is the time of year and three, when people are most likely to relax their vigilance.

Outside Duke Zhongjing's mansion, a group of people took action under the night.

Jumping over the wall nimbly, the three of them sneaked in.

To the east and south of Duke Zhongjing's Mansion, several people were counting the time, with the bowstrings in their hands fully drawn, and rockets fired out.

The quiet Duke Zhongjing's mansion soon became lively.

After shooting several arrows in succession, the man in black immediately hid in the night.

A large number of guards came out of the Zhongjing Duke's Mansion, searching for the thief who set off the rocket. The servants were awakened by the movement and got up one after another to inquire about the situation.

Seizing the commotion at this moment, the people who sneaked in earlier knocked out the servants, changed their clothes, and after looking at each other, they dispersed. One of them entered the kitchen.

Soon, a fire broke out in the kitchen.

"Go away!"

"It's gone!!!"

The rising flames completely threw Duke Zhongjing into chaos, and everyone hurriedly went to fetch water to put out the fire.

"It's gone!!!"

"It's gone!!!"

Calls came from various places, and the warehouse, side rooms, and front halls were all ablaze.

Li Yi looked at the rising black smoke from a distance, raised his eyes, and called the guards, "Have all the responders been arranged?"

"Don't worry, everyone, nothing will go wrong."

Li Yi nodded and waited quietly.

"Search, he must still be in the house."

Ling Yi looked gloomy.

"what!"

Screams rang out, and the flying arrows pierced the servant's thigh.

"Protect the young master!"

The crowd that had just stabilized suddenly fell into chaos again.

"Du Gong, people have been evacuated."

The guards came to Li Yimin and reported.

"You've all worked hard, go and have a rest. I'll put on a show at Junmanlou tonight, and all the brothers will have a good meal."

"Do you have hooves?"

The guard laughed.

"Enough."

"It's better to follow Du Gong."

"Colonel Yin is so picky and fussy. Every time he pours wine, he wants to use a ruler to measure it," the guard complained.

Li Yi smiled and said, "If Yin Cheng lets you drink it, your boss will have to use it as a mortgage sooner or later."

"Mr. Du, no one from our ex-company would dare to ask for it. It might be okay to sell it as a piece of cake."

"The tables and chairs are 70% new and of good quality pear wood. I'm sure they can be sold for a few bucks."

"Like bowls and chopsticks, you can't sell them for a price."

"The porcelain vase in the main hall, I secretly asked the captain last time, and he said it was a good thing copied, and the price was one hundred taels of silver."

The guard clasped his fingers and carefully counted Miyasaji's property.

Li Yi suddenly thought about it. His house hadn't been confiscated yet!

The guard covered his head and ran away before Li Yi took the second shot.

Li Yi shook his head and laughed, turned around and went back to the house, took off his coat, and got on the bed quietly.

Tang Xin's eyelids trembled slightly, but he did not open them. Li Yi had been out for so long, so he must have done something before dawn.

Living in Duxuan City, facing the Ling family and other powerful people, he was passive in every step he took.

Unable to help Li Yi, all Tang Xin could do was not to cause trouble and wait for him to return safely.

As soon as his body warmed up, Li Yi took Tang Xin into his arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.

"Second sister, the Ling family is in trouble. The kitchen and warehouse were burned down."

In the General's Mansion, Lin Wan went to Lin Shu's room and spoke to her.

Lin Shu gathered up the brocade quilt around her body and said, "This is really rare. Someone actually provokes the Ling family so openly."

"Do you know who did it?"

"There are rumors outside that it's Jiang Jin."

Lin Shu frowned, "Is that really that bastard?"

"Second sister, according to the guards, Jiang Jin prepared a large number of bows and arrows last night and asked them to patrol throughout the night to prevent a sneak attack by the Ling family in the middle of the night."

"It's probably not his fault."

"Something's happening again." Lin Shu coughed lightly, "Where's the second brother?"

"Let him go to Jing'an Hou Mansion."

"That bastard can't listen to rumors. Now that he has someone on his hands, it might be a big deal."

"Second brother has passed."

Lin Wan poured tea for Lin Shu, "Second sister, what did Jiang Jin do to you? Why do you feel like your teeth are itching when you mention him now?"

"Is it because of his indifference?"

Lin Shu squirted out a mouthful of water.

Lin Wan saw this situation and ran away before Lin Shu could take action.

She is really curious to know that the second sister has not been angry with anyone yet.

Han Wenjing is such a bastard, and the second sister didn't scold him. What on earth did Jiang Jin do? It can make the second sister grit her teeth.

"You came here so early in the morning, you're not just trying to get some food, are you?"

Li Yi glanced sideways at Lin Jin, "It's unlucky that you're here. There's no rice in the house today."

Lin Jin's temples twitched, how could this thing be so weak!

"Do you know about the leak of Duke Zhongjing's mansion?"

"I just heard about it and have already sent people to buy firecrackers."

"I've taken care of the whole building. It's such a festive day and we have to celebrate it properly."

"Is there anything else?"

"If you want people, you definitely can't do it now. Duke Zhongjing's mansion is just a temporary residence. If it were me, you would have to erect a monument for me."

"We have been avoiding suspicion recently. You saw what happened last time." Li Yi said seriously.

Lin Jin resisted the urge to punch him. Was he trying to avoid suspicion? Why didn't I think of this when I came to ask for someone yesterday?

"Father has withdrawn from the marriage to Uncle Xiangyuan's Mansion."

"what!"

Li Yi retreated, his face full of caution, "I'm telling you, don't make any plans for me, I didn't do anything."

"No, please leave quickly. If word spreads outside, I don't know how many rumors there will be."

"If my wife hears this, she will be even less willing to marry."

Lin Jin lowered his eyes and directly raised his fist to greet Li Yi.

"I haven't invited you to breakfast. Is there any need to do anything?"

Li Yi said casually while dodging.

"What exactly are your plans?"

An elbow hit, Lin Jin grunted.

"It's schadenfreude."

"Ling Yi is trying to steal my wife. The Duke Zhongjing's mansion is being burned down. How can I not hold a banquet?"

"There are rumors out there that you were responsible for the fire."

"What the hell?" Li Yishou was entangled with Lin Jin, "I said he directed and acted himself!"

"Don't throw any shit at me."

"I have to go to the palace." Li Yi fought off Lin Jin and his face became condensed. "Maybe he was happy too early. This time, I'm sure it's aimed at me again."

"General Lin kept saying that the Lin family would not let me be wronged. Look, how much wronged I have been since I returned to the capital, Xuancheng."

"It's okay if you don't help me, but help me!" Li Yi looked sideways at Lin Jin with a hint of sarcasm, "You really can't believe your sweet words."

"It is my fault."

Lin Jin pursed his lips, "I should bring Wan'er with me and beat you to death, you idiot!"

"Don't worry, there will be another chance next time."

"But today..." Li Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled at Lin Jin.

"Come on, greet Mr. Lin properly."

Li Yi raised his voice, twisted his butt at Lin Jin, and left him to compete with the guards. Li Yi strode out of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
