Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Ji Ping agreed without saying anything else. He and Hu Ziping supported Wang Zhuo and walked out the door with difficulty.

However, their carriage was not ready yet, and the entrance to the mansion was surrounded by Li Junhao and his soldiers, just like the Third Prince's mansion.

When Wang Zhuo heard Ji Ping's words, his heart trembled. Although his legs and feet were very uncomfortable, he still chose to hold Ji Ping's arm and slowly walked out.

Seeing Li Junhao waiting outside the door, he smiled and asked in surprise, "What is your Highness doing? Has something happened in my house?"

Seeing that he was still calm, Li Junhao couldn't help but feel that this man was truly amazing, especially since he hid his emotions so well.

"Master Wang, I'm really sorry to bother you. We are chasing a fugitive, and a subordinate reported that he escaped into the Master's Mansion. I hope you can be lenient.

We need to go into the mansion and look for him, to prevent him from doing something irreparable in the mansion."

Wang Zhuo looked back at Ji Ping in confusion, "Did anyone enter the mansion just now?"

"No, sir," Ji Ping answered carefully.

Wang Zhuo then turned his gaze to Li Junhao, "Second Prince, is the news wrong? Not everyone can enter my scholar's mansion."

Li Junhao was not annoyed, and followed his words and asked, "Chief Sang, come on, speak."

Sang Mo took two quick steps, walked in front of Li Junhao, bowed to Wang Zhuo, and then said,

"I'm so sorry, Master Wang, I personally saw someone enter the mansion from the gate. Whether you know about this or not, we are going to go in and look for him."

When he said this, it was confirmed that the entire Bachelor's Mansion was sheltering the fugitive, and they knew that someone had gone in but insisted that no one had gone in.

Wang Zhuo knew that they were looking for an excuse to enter the mansion to look for Gu Xunwei, but how did they come up with the idea that he had hidden Gu Xunwei in the mansion?

Or maybe they were just making random guesses and couldn't find it anywhere else, so they thought of trying their luck at the Bachelor's Mansion.

This is probably also the idea behind Ze'er's mansion.

"Second Prince, I have worked diligently all my life. Although I have not made much contribution to the Great Chu, I have worked hard. It really chills my heart that you want to search my house for no reason."

Wang Zhuo didn't take Sang Mo seriously at all, and didn't take his words to heart. He didn't even glance at him, but continued to look at Li Junhao with burning eyes.

Li Junhao didn't take his words to heart at all. He nodded to Sang Mo, and a small team of guards followed Sang Mo in.

The guards guarding the gate of the mansion immediately stepped forward and stopped them all.

"Your Highness, what are you doing...?"

Wang Zhuo finally showed some anger at this time. Li Junhao, who had always been calm and introverted, also showed his anxiety today. It seemed that Gu Xunwei was just as he had guessed, and they had a very close relationship.

"Today I will only let Chief Sang lead twelve people to search the house. We will not destroy the items in the Bachelor's Mansion. I have given enough face to Bachelor Wang in this life. Otherwise, we would have to break in."

Li Junhao was holding a horsewhip in his hand. Today, he changed his style and wore a set of armor, giving people a heroic feeling.

"Okay, Ji Ping, move aside and let Chief Sang and the others in." Wang Zhuo took a deep breath, knowing that with his current status, he would not be able to stop Li Junhao and the others from making trouble.

However, he was absolutely sure that they would find nothing if they went in.

Li Junhao looked at his expression and felt a little unsure. After all, it was such a big academy. If they really couldn't find Gu Xunwei when they went in, they might have alerted the enemy.

The result was just as Li Junhao had guessed. Sang Mo and his friends searched the scholar's mansion for nearly an hour and a half, but they did not find Gu Xunwei in the end.

Just catch anyone and it's considered as completing the mission.

"Master Wang, I'm so sorry, we have to take this person away. If he summons something related to the Master's Mansion, we may need Master Wang's cooperation in questioning. Let's go."

After Li Junhao finished speaking, he didn't even look at Wang Zhuo's face. His heart was already burning with anger at this moment, but he still smiled as usual.

When Li Junze returned to his mansion from the palace, he discovered that something was wrong. Neither Wen Jiaxiang nor Cao Xingwen saw anything. After asking a servant, he learned that such a thing had actually happened in the mansion.

Fortunately, Gu Qiongsi had changed his appearance and lived in a remote area, so he was not captured this time and was waiting anxiously in the meeting room.

Seeing Li Junze coming back, she hurriedly took two steps and said, "Third Prince, you are finally back. Things are not good. Almost all the capable people in the mansion have been taken away."

Li Junze had already started to panic. He didn't even know why his father gave the position of crown prince to the eleventh prince. He only heard about this after he left the palace.

Could it be that my father summoned me to the palace this time just to talk about this matter? Or has he already made the decision and just wanted to inform me?

"I understand. You stay in the house and don't run around. I'll go find my grandfather."

Li Junze didn't have time to say more to Gu Qiongsi. He turned around and was about to go out. But a servant ran in panic in front of the door and said, "Third Prince, the people we sent to kill the Jingji Army failed. They were all captured alive by the Jingji Army."

"What, how could that happen?"

Li Junze shouted in horror. There were so many of them, at least 400 people. How could they be captured alive like that?

Did the Jingji Army send more people to escort those more than 700 people?

The servant didn't know how to answer, so he just told the truth, "It's rumored outside that the Jingji Army made a big move today and captured 398 people who tried to rob prisoners."

Li Junze's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Three hundred and ninety-eight people, so many people went there, not only did he fail to rescue those people, he also lost so many lives.

He immediately turned around and looked at Gu Qiongsi, "Is this the result of following your orders and robbing the prisoner? Is this the result of you not letting me discuss it with my grandfather?"

Li Junze, who was about to go out, now remembered why he agreed to this action.

It was that day that he listened to the "good advice" that Gu Qiongsi offered him. It was she who let him make decisions without having to seek his grandfather's consent on everything.
