A team of hundreds of people marched around Kyoto, beating drums and gongs, creating a great excitement for the people of Kyoto.

Only then did Gu Nanxi order his men to take the three thieves to the government office.

Lu Mei wanted to say something but stopped herself. When she was about to reach the gate of the government office, she finally couldn't help but said, "Master, should we really report it to the authorities? Would it be bad?"

Gu Nanxi raised her eyebrows, her eyes innocent and puzzled: "Lumei, what happened to you today? These three thieves beat up our people and shouted at the people to kill them. If you don't hand them over to the government, do you want to keep them for the New Year?"

"Master, there may be a misunderstanding here, and this may damage your reputation!" Lumei was not worried about Marquis Yongcheng, but was worried about her own master.

For some literati, their mouths are like murderous knives. Their masters not only humiliated Marquis Yongchang, but also sent him to jail.

If this gets out, I wonder what the writers will say about the master?

And after all, they are husband and wife. Although their relationship is not very good, how can they reconcile in the future after such a quarrel?

Cui Sanlun also thought that parading him through the streets would be enough to embarrass the Yongchang Marquis, but he wouldn't have to go to jail. "Little Nanxi, why don't we show some mercy when we can't?"

Gu Nanxi turned to the three Su siblings and the people who followed them and asked, "Are you willing to forgive them?"

The people pushed each other, made faces at each other, but dared not say anything.

Su Yunting said angrily: "No forgiveness! You must be sent to the authorities!"

Su Yunyan: "If an apology is useful, what is the point of the government?"

Su Xuanming glanced at the three quail-like people and chuckled: "People should pay the price for their mistakes! If my mother and the general had not arrived in time, my three siblings and the people would have suffered greatly."

"That's right! I sprained my old ankle just now!"

"Oh my, my little heart is beating so fast, it's still beating non-stop until now, I was almost scared to death!"

The people spoke one after another and bravely filed a complaint.

The people who were watching the fun began to complain when they saw that the wife of Marquis Yongchang did not stop them.

"We are not in a good situation either. You don't know that we were so scared just now that we thought it was an invasion by enemies from the north! Our legs are still weak now!"

"I have packed all my belongings and booked my boat ticket to the south, but now they tell me that this is all caused by these three thieves! Can they compensate me for my boat ticket?"

"Who is a good person who brings so many guards to Kyoto? I think they must be planning something bad!"

Amid the excitement, Cui Sanlun was worried that the matter would not end well, and he looked at Gu Nanxi with worried eyes.

Gu Nanxi's determination was as firm as a rock, and he ordered Boss Li to escort the three men into the yamen.

The head of the yamen had received the news long ago and slipped away with an excuse. He only sent out the legal advisor to put the three men in jail and retry them on another day.

After Gu Nanxi thanked Li Aotian, she said goodbye and then took the children back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Little did she know that her actions had caused a huge stir not only among the people, but also in the entire officialdom and the imperial palace.

With such a big event happening in Kyoto, how could the officials sit still?

All the private rooms in the teahouse and tavern were booked out within just the time of an incense stick.

Doctor Li was reluctant to spend money, so he invited Censor Jiang to his house for a chat, and Lord Chen also shamelessly went along.

Doctor Li twisted his thick eyebrows into knots. "What exactly is the Marquis' intention? If you want to teach the Marquis of Yongchang a lesson, just parading him through the streets will be enough to make him unable to hold his head up in Kyoto for a year."

Lord Chen picked up the peanuts on the porcelain plate with disdain. Doctor Li was really stingy. He didn't even want to throw away the peanuts even though they were damp. "Maybe you still don't feel relieved enough."

"How could Madam Hou be such a person who gets angry so easily? She must have some business!"

Censor Jiang's serious face revealed a trace of worry: "I'm not worried about Madam Hou. She is very smart and no one can plot against her! But the housing prices in Kyoto are jumping up and down like monkeys, which is really worrying."

"I heard that someone had hoarded a large number of luxury homes and sold them all today. I don't know who was so unlucky. If they had been a little slower, wouldn't they have saved so much money?"

Mr. Chen shed tears of envy: "I wonder which lucky person got such a windfall!"

The lucky young emperor was pacing back and forth in the palace, feeling very anxious.

The eunuch was delighted, for it turned out to be just a false alarm. There was no invasion from the north, and the emperor got a great bargain.

"Your Majesty, that deal is perfect! In just half a day, we made a full 70% profit!"

The young emperor sighed and said, "How did the surprise I prepared for my sister turn out like this?"

"Ah? Surprise?" The eunuch was a little confused.

The young emperor regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh and said, "Marquis Yongchang is really incompetent! My sister has made great contributions to me. I thought that they haven't been reunited for more than ten years, so I specially wrote a letter to summon Marquis Yongchang to return to the capital! As a result, Marquis Yongchang not only failed to comfort my sister, but also caused such a big mess! He is not good at accomplishing things, but good at doing things."

The eunuch's eyes changed when he looked at the emperor. It turned out that the culprit for all the panic he had experienced was the person sitting on the dragon throne!

"Should I tell my sister that this is a surprise I prepared? And ask her to show some mercy?"

Before the eunuch could say anything, the young emperor rejected the proposal: "No. Since it is a surprise for my sister, she can play however she wants. We must let her enjoy herself to her heart's content."

The eunuch wiped away tears for Marquis Yongchang in his heart.

"Ahem." The young emperor probably felt that what he said just now was too explicit and sounded inappropriate, so he tried to make amends, "Sister is a person who considers the overall situation! She definitely did this not out of selfishness, but for other purposes. We should not mess with Sister."

Eunuch...you are the emperor, you have the final say.

At this time, on the big river in Bianjing, large ships loaded with gold, silver and jewelry were like a stream of carp crossing the river.

When the wealthy and nobles on the ship learned the news, they could no longer hold back and started cursing.

"What a jerk Gu Nanxi is! In order to steal our property, he even teamed up with Yongchang Hou to deceive us, saying that enemies from the north were about to attack us!"

"How shameless! Using such despicable means!"

"That's great! She has become the richest person in all of Kyoto!"

The escaped nobles felt jealous. Compared with going south to the Yangtze River and being the overlord in the deeply rooted Kyoto, it was certainly more comfortable in Kyoto.

On one of the ships, there was dead silence.

In terms of the amount of property loss, who can compare with them? In terms of the mistakes made, who can be more miserable than them? !

If we had acted half a day later, we wouldn't have suffered so much loss!

The man with a goatee asked tremblingly, "Who bought our property? Will we have time to regret it?"

"It's Your Majesty."
