I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 1117 Openly Leaving the Capital to Secretly Seek a Mistress

Xiao Jingyu then asked, "Did Jiang Ciche's Second Assistant Minister's Office and Prince Yi's Mansion send anyone to the yamen to report the case?"

"Your Highness, the people from both mansions have indeed gone to the Shuntian Prefecture government office to report the case!"

Lingbo replied.

"However, although a report was filed, it wasn't filed immediately after the theft was discovered in the mansion early in the morning. Instead, it wasn't until nearly noon that someone was sent to the Shuntian Prefecture Office."

The Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Zheng Tong, was quite dutiful. He immediately took the chief clerk and the head constables of the Shuntian Prefecture to conduct an on-site investigation of the two prefectures.

Frankly speaking, there's not much to investigate at the crime scenes in these two prefectures.

It goes without saying that when Lord Zheng Tong saw the situation in the Vice Minister's residence and the Prince Yi's residence, the first thing that came to his mind was the former Qinxing Marquis's residence!

The Shuntian Prefecture did indeed file a case at that time.

Even if a case is filed, what good will it do?

When the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion was robbed, the case was reported to the police immediately, but the case has not been solved to this day.

Those people were clearly chivalrous and powerful, with extraordinary abilities!

Finding them and recovering the lost items is clearly a pipe dream!

As Xiao Jingyu listened to Ling Bo's words, the corners of his lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Lingbo continued, "When that group of people robbed the Qinxing Marquis's mansion, they left a written agreement stating that once Fu Baozhen's grievances were cleared and her great revenge was avenged, all the property in the mansion would be returned in full."

With this written agreement in hand, it's up to the Shuntian Prefecture whether they investigate or not; they can simply wait for those chivalrous men to return it in the future!

That's not the case now.

Now it is our word that has been written, directly characterizing the theft of these two prefectures as 'divine will, taking ill-gotten gains'!

Since the property of these two prefectures was confiscated as ill-gotten gains, there is no possibility of it being returned!

Therefore, it is clear that Prefect Zheng Tong of Shuntian Prefecture has opened a case for the theft in both prefectures... well... that's all he's done. As for solving the case... don't count on it!

The people in the carriage looked at each other after hearing Lingbo's words and couldn't help but laugh. Return it? How could that be possible?

Since it's ill-gotten wealth, it's better for it to go to anyone than to stay in these two mansions!

Is there anything else happening in the capital today?

Xiao Jingyu asked again.

"Your Highness, there is indeed something."

Our 'Fengxiao' team has been keeping a close eye on the movements at Wangdong Restaurant and the courtyard near the East Gate.

As evening approached, it was discovered that the livestock from East Venezuela in both locations were out and about.

Seven people came out from Wangdong Restaurant, and seven more came out from the courtyard at the East Gate, making a total of fourteen people.

When they arrived at the city gate, thirteen people went out of the city, while one person stayed at the city gate to watch. After a while, it returned to the small courtyard in the east of the city.

Because there was a large open space outside the city gate, it was difficult to follow them;

They were delayed for a while by the guy who stayed at the city gate to watch, and they figured they couldn't catch up with that group of East Venezuelan bastards, so they gave up on tracking them and left only people to hide and keep watch near the city gate.

Just now, our men met with Sui Feng. Following Sui Feng's instructions, they were ordered to withdraw from the city gate and continue monitoring the small courtyard in the east of the city and the Wangdong Restaurant.

I just wonder what those people went out of town to do!

Lingbo said with a hint of regret.

Xiao Jingyu, Suifeng, and Tayun exchanged a smile.

Ta Yun reached out and patted Ling Bo on the shoulder, comforting him in an exaggerated tone: "Brother, don't be sad. Those thirteen beasts that went out of the city gate will never come back!"

"How do you say this?"

Lingbo looked at Suifeng with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean, 'whatever'? Now that they've gone out, they can forget about coming back!"

They've already been left in that grove of trees outside the city as fertilizer!

Just wait and see, next spring, that grove of trees will be lush and green with plenty of fertilizer!

"You mean..."

Lingbo reached out and gestured across her neck.

Sui Feng smiled and nodded, "That's right, do you know what those thirteen beasts are going to do when they leave the city?"

They've gone to the grove outside the city to ambush us!

They also brought two ropes as tripwires.

As a result, before their tripwires could even trip our horses, they were sent flying by a barrage of hidden weapons from the little princess...

It's a pity you weren't there at the time and didn't get to see the little princess's dignified demeanor!

I haven't seen anything that means every shot hits its mark!

In the blink of an eye, the little princess had sent all thirteen of their animals underground...to become fertilizer!

"It's conceivable!"

After the battle at Yunxiang Mountain, in our eyes, the Little Princess is a goddess descended to earth; we wouldn't be surprised if she possessed any divine powers or abilities!

Lingbo's words were met with nods of agreement from Suifeng, Tayun, and Tinglei.

At this moment, Lei remembered something and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there is something else."

I heard early this morning that Marquis Guo Yuan of Dongping was ill, and people from the Marquis's residence even went to the pharmacy to get medicine.

But at noon, Marquis Guo Yuan of Dongping left the Marquis's residence in a small entourage, saying that he was going to his estate in the south of the city to recuperate for a few days.

Lady Yan Hua, the wife of the Marquis of Dongping, was preoccupied with trivial matters in the Marquis's residence and did not accompany him, but stayed at the Marquis's residence to take care of things.

While Marquis Guo Yuanming claimed he was going to his estate outside the city to recuperate, in reality, he hadn't gone far from the city gates before changing into an inconspicuous ordinary carriage and returning to the capital.

However, he didn't return to the Marquis of Dongping's residence; instead, he went to the other courtyard, the place where he secretly kept his mistress, Huang Ying!
