Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge
Chapter 386: The Lost Jade Ring
Because he is so vicious, during the preparation period, he is likely to eliminate all those who are blocking his way one by one.
But now even if they defend themselves strictly, they cannot be absolutely safe, so he can only choose to take the initiative to attack.
Less than a cup of tea after Li Junhao left, Wang Zhuo had already kicked over the two chairs in the living room.
Several servants in the scholar's mansion, including Ji Ping, had never seen Wang Zhuo so angry before, and were so frightened that they dared not make a sound.
Hu Ziping was not afraid. He quickly walked to Wang Zhuo's side and said in a low voice, "Master, we are all ready. All you need is the word..."
Wang Zhuo was angry, but after hearing Hu Ziping's words, his anger subsided a lot. He took a deep breath and waved his hand.
"Chief Hu, you must not act rashly. Li Junhao came here today just to anger me. Will he not make any preparations?"
In fact, Li Junhao was really unprepared this time. He only brought Sang Mo and four guards. After Sang Mo left, he only had four people around him to protect himself.
However, Wang Zhuo naturally didn't know this. The fewer people he saw around Li Junhao, the more he thought that he must have secretly arranged more people.
"But are we just going to allow him to humiliate us like this?" Hu Ziping was very indignant, and his face looked ferocious.
"Haha, he can't hold his temper anymore, so he came here specially to cause trouble." Wang Zhuo said viciously.
"Master, do you need me to invite the third prince over to inquire about the matter mentioned today?" Ji Ping saw that Wang Zhuo had calmed down, so he dared to remind Wang Zhuo.
After hearing this, Wang Zhuo became hesitant. There was only one possibility for Li Junze to do such a thing.
"No need for that. Send someone to Fengyue Pavilion to investigate and see if the shopkeeper is... Gu Qiongsi."
Wang Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, he still smelled something unusual from this matter.
The only person he could think of who would make Li Junze go against his own advice and go to see her was Gu Qiongsi.
Especially, after the last time he tried to find someone to assassinate Gu Qiongsi but failed and she escaped, he now thought that Li Junze's reaction was very likely that he knew her whereabouts.
Ji Ping received Wang Zhuo's order and showed a surprised look in his eyes, "Why, Master, do you suspect that Fengyue Pavilion is related to Gu Qiongsi?"
Wang Zhuo nodded slightly, and Ji Ping had no choice but to take orders and go out to make arrangements.
Hu Ziping was planning to make some more lobbying, but Ji Ping went out for a short while and then ran back in in a hurry.
He was so anxious that he even said to Wang Zhuo out of breath, "Master, Master, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, Yan Nangui, has come with a lot of guards. It is said that, it is said that..."
"Tsk, why are you in such a hurry? Catch your breath first." Wang Zhuo said to Ji Ping helplessly.
Ji Ping then took two deep breaths and slowed down his tone, "It is said that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a guest in the mansion just now, he lost a jade ring that was given by the Emperor, so we have to find it quickly."
"What?" Wang Zhuo stood up from his chair immediately, and the teacup on the table next to him fell to the side with a "crash".
No one dared to say anything for a moment. This was obviously Li Junhao's back-up plan. Did he think the noise just now was not big enough and asked the Dali Temple to come and cause trouble again?
"Bachelor, what should we do?" Hu Ziping finally lost his patience and took two steps forward and asked with a bow.
As long as Wang Zhuo gives the order, can they not stop those people from the Dali Temple?
"What should we do?" Wang Zhuo looked uneasy. He naturally knew what Li Junhao was planning, but he only said to Hu Ziping.
"Don't do anything. Get rid of the people with the heavier Yanbei accents and help them find the jade ring."
Hu Ziping frowned when he heard this, but thinking of what Prince of Yan Li Xingxian had said to him when he came, he took two deep breaths, nodded, and went out to make arrangements.
Ji Ping then brought Yan Nangui and the others in, along with Sang Mo, who looked anxious.
However, Yan Nangui felt that his performance was a bit too exaggerated, and anyone who paid close attention would notice that his anxiety was a bit excessive.
But Sang Mo didn't realize it at all. Instead, he frowned and bowed to Wang Zhuo, then said embarrassedly,
"Oh, I'm so sorry to bother Master Wang again. On his way back in the carriage, His Highness was surprised to find that his jade ring was missing. He thought it was not stolen, but must have been accidentally dropped somewhere. Look at this..."
Wang Zhuo waved his hand generously, "What are you talking about, Chief Sang? Your Highness will not be staying in the mansion for long today, so it should be easy to find him. Please come in."
Sang Mo nodded gratefully, and then he and Yan Nangui bowed to Wang Zhuo. They led a dozen burly guards behind them and began to search under the table, chairs and on the beams of the living room.
Wang Zhuo's forehead started beating again. How did he find a jade ring on the beam?
Sang Mo saw Wang Zhuo's expression, and then he said to those people embarrassedly, "Be careful, don't damage these items."
His words did not make Wang Zhuo look any better. He endured it again and again, and finally winked at Ji Ping.
Ji Ping asked with a smile, "Chief Sang, there is no way that His Highness's jade ring could have ended up on the beam, right? You guys..."
Yan Nangui flashed out from behind the pillar and explained to Ji Ping with a smile, "Just in case, if someone finds it, we can hide it. It's better to be thorough."
"But we dare not pick up the things bestowed by the emperor casually. Lord Yan, why don't you go to the banquet hall and take a look?"
Ji Ping really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Although they didn't damage anything, the mess would make anyone feel unhappy.
Yan Nangui also nodded and muttered, "Hey, if we can't find it again, we may have to search you."
After hearing this, Ji Ping broke out in sweat. What was going on?
He used his eyes to ask Wang Zhuo for his opinion. Wang Zhuo closed his eyes and then said to Sang Mo and Yan Nangui, "Then you two should take care of it. Ji Ping should also arrange a few people to help look for it. After all, I am old and tired today, so I will go back and rest first."
Sang Mo cupped his hands and said with an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry, Master Wang, if we can't find the jade ring, all of us who appeared in front of His Highness today will be searched."
