As expected, the dozen boxes that were originally stacked in Ye Xingchen's yard disappeared, and Cang Tingchen was instantly furious.
"Damn Ye Xingchen, who gave her the courage to actually take away all the hundred thousand taels? Come and arrest all the servants in the yard!" Cang Tingchen roared.
"Yes!" The guards immediately went to arrest the person.
Fu Yurou, who was following, saw that the yard was empty, and her face turned extremely ugly: "Your Majesty, how did the princess sister move out with so many boxes?"
Cang Tingchen frowned: "Come here, bring the boy who has been guarding the concierge these past two days to me!"
"Yes." Gu Jiu, his confidant, went to arrest the person himself.
After a while, all the servants in Ye Xingchen's courtyard were brought in. Everyone was trembling with fear. They didn't know why King Mo summoned everyone in the middle of the night.
The boys guarding the front and back doors of Prince Mo's Mansion were all brought over, looking confused: "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
"I ask you, when did Ye Xingchen carry out more than a dozen boxes?" Cang Tingchen asked.
The boy trembled with fright: "Your Majesty, the princess has not gone out. Didn't you lock her up?"
"Yes, my lord, I haven't seen the princess go out either."
The few doorkeepers all gave the same answer, and none of them saw the princess go out.
Now Cang Ting's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot: "Could it be that she grew wings and flew out?"
"Your Majesty, did these servants help the princess and sister out?" Fu Yurou whispered.
Cang Tingchen had blue veins bulging on his forehead and glared at Qingluo and the others: "Tell me honestly who helped the princess leave the palace. If you dare to conceal even a single word, I will kill him with a thousand swords!"
The moment Tang Yu and Tang Feng were called up, they noticed that more than a dozen boxes in the yard were missing, and they were also confused.
Why is the princess's one hundred thousand taels missing?
Qingluo was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, how dare I disobey your order? Even if I am beaten to death, I would not dare to help the princess get out of the house."
Everyone else also knelt down, including Tang Yu and Tang Feng: "Please, Your Majesty, please understand, we can't lift those dozen boxes, how can we get them out?"
This is indeed true. Those boxes were brought in by the burly men hired by Mrs. Zhenguo.
"Could it be that they've seen a ghost? I'll beat them until they tell the truth!" Cang Tingchen gritted his teeth with anger.
A guard came over with a whip, took one look at Qing Luo, hesitated for a moment and whipped him.
"Ah!" Qingluo screamed, her face turned pale in pain, and she fell to the ground.
Tang Yu frowned, with anger flashing in his eyes. He wanted to get up, but Tang Feng held him back and gave her a look to signal her not to move.
"My lord, the top priority is to recover the one hundred thousand taels. These servants should not have the courage to disobey your orders. The princess sister should still be in Fengyue Tower at this moment." Fu Yurou reminded.
"Rou'er is right. Damn Ye Xingchen is so prodigal. Gu Jiu, please take someone with me to Fengyue Tower!" Cang Tingchen turned around and ran straight to the door.
"yes."
Fengyue Tower.
Yan Tianming felt sorry for the one hundred thousand taels, holding the wine jar and drinking it wildly on himself, while Ye Xingchen poured himself a glass of wine and listened to the commotion outside.
Tonight is destined to be an uneventful night. King Mo should be here soon.
Ye Xingchen was just thinking when he heard a noise outside the private room.
Cang Tingchen rushed in with a group of people, and his men surrounded the entire first floor of Fengyue Tower.
All the guests inside were shocked. Seeing that King Mo was here to arrest people, they didn't dare to drink and talk. They all stood aside and waited to watch the show.
"Ye Xingchen, get out of here!" Cang Tingchen roared angrily.
The rage and hatred soared to the sky, instantly resounding throughout Fengyue Tower.
The huge Fengyue Tower was silent for a moment, and no one dared to take a breath for fear that they would be affected.
After all, the news that his princess had come to Fengyue Tower to find a male official had spread throughout the streets, which was simply a shame for King Mo.
Ye Xingchen, who was in the private room on the third floor, heard a hint of sarcasm on her lips. She did not move and continued drinking.
But Yan Tianming woke up after a while: "Cang Tingchen is here, now you are finished, one hundred thousand taels, you buy a man, Ye Xingchen, why don't you run away from the back door, I can't protect you this time." .”
Ye Xingchen rolled his eyes at him: "When will I need your protection?"
The corner of Yan Tianming's mouth twitched: "Aren't you worried about you?"
"unnecessary."
Outside in the lobby on the first floor, Cang Tingchen waited for a while and saw that Ye Xingchen had not come out. He was even more furious: "Come here, search for me. Search from room to room. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find Ye Xingchen." Stars!”
"Yes!" Gu Jiugang was about to lead people to search, and the madam came out.
"Hey, isn't this King Mo? What kind of wind has brought you here?" the madam said enthusiastically.
Cang Tingchen glared over: "Where is Ye Xingchen, let her get out!"
"King Mo, everyone who comes to Fengyue Tower is a guest. According to the rules in the building, guests' information cannot be revealed. Please forgive me, King Mo!" The old bustard said without being humble.
"You are looking for death!" Cang Tingchen was full of hatred. He pulled out Gu Jiu's sword and put it on the old bustard's neck: "Tell me, where is she?"
When the Madam saw that King Mo was coming for real, she trembled with fright and immediately gave in: "King Mo, please forgive me. Princess Mo is in the private room on the third floor. I will take you there right now."
Cang Tingchen then put away his sword and said: "If you dare to act slippery, I will kill your head!"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Just as the madam was about to lead the people up the stairs, a voice came from above: "King Mo came to see me in the middle of the night. Could it be that he thought I couldn't sleep?"
Cang Tingchen looked up and saw Ye Xingchen's look of needing a beating on the edge of the corridor on the third floor.
"Ye Xingchen, are you looking for death? You actually use one hundred thousand taels to buy a man's day. I give you the courage!"
The voice was fierce and filled with overwhelming anger, making those who heard it shudder.
Ye Xingchen was not afraid at all, a deep meaning flashed across his phoenix eyes: "Why is King Mo so angry? The whole capital knows that you don't want to see me, so why should I hang myself from a tree.
I didn't spend that hundred thousand taels of your money. I saved Yan Tianming and the Zhenguo Palace gave it to me. Everyone here can testify for me.
A few days ago, Duke Zhenguo's wife went to Prince Mo's Mansion to deliver money. At that time, you said in front of Duke Zhenguo's wife that the money was my own and that I could handle it as I pleased. You looked down upon the one hundred thousand taels.
Could it be that the prince was short of money at the auction, so he lost to the regent, and wanted to take advantage of my one hundred thousand taels and use the money I saved to make up for your shortfall and save your face? "
Ye Xingchen's every word was precious, and he didn't give Cang Tingchen any face.
She did it on purpose, to let everyone know how shameless and shameless King Mo was.
Cang Tingchen was furious when he was told what was on his mind. He had no place to vent his frustration at the regent. How could Cang Tingchen tolerate being so humiliated by Ye Xingchen at this moment?
"Ye Xingchen, you are seeking death!" Cang Tingchen roared angrily, injecting his inner strength into the sword in his hand and stabbing Ye Xingchen fiercely.
