Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After all, Li Junhao is now the General Zhenbei appointed by the emperor himself. If he said that he received a tip-off that a fugitive had escaped into the Bachelor's Mansion, it would definitely arouse more people's suspicion if we refused to let them enter.

Li Junze thought about this and asked with some concern, "Grandfather, is there really no problem?"

When Wang Zhuo heard him ask this, he felt a little uncertain, but he still said, "Ji Ping, push the wheelchair over here. I will personally watch them search."

It's no wonder that he was worried. Li Junhao never does things without a purpose. Last time, he was thrown into disarray by Gu Xunwei's disappearance, so he came here to cause a scene and returned empty-handed.

Maybe they have discovered some clues now, so they come here to look for it again.

However, when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw Wang Yucheng driving a carriage to leave, and had some conflict with Li Junhao and others.

Sang Mo saw Wang Yucheng's two carriages, which were filled with various boxes and bags. He was worried that someone might be hiding inside, so he asked to search them before leaving the house.

But Wang Yucheng stiffened his neck and refused to allow the search.

"I am a fourth-rank official after all. Do I need to be searched when I leave my home? If this gets out, how can I face people?"

Sang Mo said with reason, "I'm sorry, Lord Jijiu, we are also acting impartially. If the fugitive we are looking for is hiding here by accident, it will be unsafe for you to follow you out of the city, right?"

Wang Yucheng got even angrier when he heard this. "These boxes are filled with daily necessities for me. How could there be people hiding inside? Look, they are all locked tightly. It's impossible."

Hearing their conversation, Wang Zhuo asked Li Junze to stop Wang Yucheng from arguing and said to Li Junhao, "Second Prince, how are you?"

Li Junhao nodded. Seeing that he was sitting in a wheelchair, he did not seem to be in good condition. So he said, "He is fine. But Master Wang does not seem to be in good condition. Did you have a nightmare last night?"

If you do too many bad things, you will have nightmares at night.

Wang Zhuo was not angry after hearing this. He chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. My son is going to Puhua Temple today to perform a ritual for his mother. His mother's death anniversary will be in a few days. He may need to stay for a while, so it is inevitable that he will bring more gifts."

He briefly explained to Li Junhao the reason why Wang Yucheng went out, but his eyes were looking at Wang Yucheng, "Cheng'er, since there is nothing wrong, let the Second Prince and the others check it out before leaving."

"I'm sorry, Master Wang," Sang Mo spoke again. He clasped his fists and bowed before saying,

"I'm afraid that no one from the Bachelor's Mansion will be able to leave today."

"Why... is this happening?" Wang Zhuo was not in a hurry and asked slowly.

"Both fugitives fled to the Bachelor's Mansion, which makes us wonder about the relationship between the Bachelor's Mansion and those fugitives from Yanbei."

Sang Mo's face was serious, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, but it was obvious that he was lying with open eyes, and he said it so confidently.

Li Junze was so angry that he started to curse, "You bastard, which eye of yours saw the fugitive coming in? Where did he come from? What did he look like? This is really nonsense."

Sang Mo waved his hand and was thinking of asking an unknown soldier to come over as he did last time and describe in detail how the fugitive he "personally" saw escape into the Scholars' Mansion, but he was stopped by Wang Zhuo.

"Ze'er, don't be rude." Wang Zhuo said to Li Junze, then turned and said to Sang Mo with a smile, "Since Chief Sang has such suspicion, let Cheng'er wait for a while and leave after the search."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Wang Yucheng looked unhappy, but he couldn't say much due to his father's order. He took Xiao Wuzi and followed the two carriages to the side and asked Sang Mo to bring a few people to search.

Sang Mo knew that this Lord Chief Priest was a bit eccentric and had a very simple mind. Many people even said that he could not understand what was said, but he might just be pretending.

So he was very serious during this search and did not miss any bag.

"Hey, this is such a small box, do you want to open it too?" Xiao Wuzi asked angrily while holding the key.

In front of Sang Mo was a small box only one foot square, which obviously could not possibly hide a person.

Sang Mo nodded, "Open it. I've seen so many, this one won't make a difference."

Xiao Wuzi stomped his feet and was about to go up to unlock the door, but Wang Yucheng walked towards Li Junhao angrily, "Second Prince, are your people treating an official of the imperial court like this? This is really too rude..."

Li Junhao sat in a carriage in front of the scholar's mansion and looked at him unkindly, "Master Jijiu, please get in the carriage and talk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fuzi had already put the stool aside and asked him to get in the car.

Wang Yucheng glanced at Xiao Wuzi and saw that there must be a lot of bags to be checked, so he got on the carriage without hesitation.

Xiao Fuzi let down the curtain of the carriage and sat obediently on the shaft.

When Wang Zhuo saw Wang Yucheng going to Li Junhao to complain, he couldn't help but frown. He was afraid that the Second Prince would hold a grudge against him for saying the wrong thing. He might not be able to leave the Bachelor's Mansion today.

However, the scene in the carriage was completely different from what they had imagined. Li Junhao poured hot tea for Wang Yucheng and waited with a smile for him to speak.

"Your Highness, have you...have you guessed it?" Wang Yucheng said uncertainly.

"Well, thank you very much." Li Junhao simply said thank you.

"No, it should be "Thank you, Your Highness." After I leave the capital today, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to come back to the capital in the future. Please take care of yourself, Your Highness."

As he spoke, he stood up from his seat and then knelt down obediently in front of Li Junhao.

"Please help me, Your Highness."

Li Junhao took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Many people say that Master Wang has brought up countless literary students throughout his life, but he has failed to teach his own son well. Now it seems that Master Wang is the smartest one in the entire Master's Mansion."

After he said that, he smiled and stretched out his hand to personally pull Wang Yucheng up.

Wang Yucheng was terrified, "Your Highness, please stop joking. From now on, I just want to live in peace."

Just want peace? I want peace!

Li Junhao understood Wang Yucheng's thoughts, but he was also puzzled and asked, "Can Wang Jijiu really give up your father, sister, and the entire Bachelor's Mansion so resolutely?"
