Chapter 1023 The Man Returns Early, the Woman Disappears
Upon seeing Xiao Jingyu, Sui Feng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, this subordinate greets you!"
“No need to be polite!
Where have you come from?
Xiao Jingyu asked.
Sui Feng stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, I have just returned from the east of the city."
After the deputy envoy from the Eastern Venezuelan government led his men back to the small courtyard in the eastern city, he never came out again.
On the contrary, the crown prince of Dongwei Kingdom went to Wangdong Restaurant with two attendants.
After his subordinates quickly disguised themselves, they also led their men there.
My subordinate made the excuse that he intended to book the entire venue in a few days to hold a birthday banquet for an elder in his family, and wanted to see the layout of the lobby downstairs and the private rooms upstairs in advance.
The waiter at Wangdong Restaurant, unsuspecting, led his subordinate up to the second floor.
My subordinate saw that the two men who were with the Crown Prince of the Eastern Venezuela were standing outside the innermost room on the second floor.
Seeing that it was not easy to approach them immediately, the subordinates decided to give up for the time being.
As for the roof...
Let's not even talk about the fact that you can't go up in broad daylight;
Moreover, someone had already been assigned to replace the roof tiles on that roof!
Your subordinate thinks... that the Crown Prince of Dongwei and the owner of Wangdong Restaurant must have important matters to discuss, so in addition to arranging people to guard the room, even the people replacing the roof tiles were intentionally arranged by them!
Judging from the way they were sitting on the roof, dawdling and looking around every now and then, it was obvious they weren't replacing the tiles, but keeping watch!
It seems the only way to find out about Wangdong Restaurant and Dongcheng Courtyard is to go at night!
After hearing Sui Feng's report, Xiao Jingyu thought for a moment and said, "Well, since it's not good to get close during the day, let's not force our way in, lest we alert them."
You must tell our people to be very careful!
Tonight, I will personally follow that pig-headed deputy envoy from the Eastern Commission. I want to see which minister they are going to meet tonight and what I intend to do with them.
As for Wangdong Restaurant... you should personally lead a team to keep an eye on it, and if possible... find out how many beasts from Dongwei are hiding in Wangdong Restaurant!
If anything happens during this time, you may visit me at the Duke of Anguo's residence at any time!
"Yes, Your Highness, I obey!"
Xiao Jingyu and Suifeng walked out of the Prince Yu's mansion together.
Xiao Jingyu got into his understated yet luxurious carriage, while Sui Feng rode a tall horse.
Sui Feng rode his horse eastward towards the city, while Xiao Jingyu's carriage turned northward.
Xiao Jingyu is going to the Duke of Anguo's mansion; he can't wait any longer!
Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Jingyu's mind was filled with the image of the off-road jeep in Leng Rongyue's space!
What I couldn't help but reminisce about was the exhilarating feeling of driving that off-road jeep at breakneck speed across the open wilderness!
Xiao Jingyu thought to himself, "If only I could go into the space with Yue'er and drive around again someday... that would be wonderful!"
Xiao Jingyu had no idea that his wish would soon come true!
As soon as the morning court session ended today, Duke Anguo Fu Peng was pulled into the cabinet by the Grand Secretary Qin Huaiyuan, who ostensibly invited him to sit in the cabinet and have a chat.
These two are a first-rank duke and the prime minister!
Do you think these two are just sitting together idly chatting?
As for what exactly these two said... that cannot be told to outsiders.
Master Fu Yinglan went directly to the Ministry of Justice.
The joint trial by the three judicial departments is no longer necessary, but the subsequent case files still need to be compiled by subordinates as soon as possible. As the Minister of Justice, Fu Yinglan naturally has to review and make a final judgment!
The second master, Fu Yingze, hitched a ride with Hua Chongjian, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, to the Ministry of War.
Next, the three men, father and sons, each went about their own business, but as if by prior arrangement, they returned to the Duke's mansion one after the other around noon.
Coincidentally, a low-key yet luxurious carriage had already stopped outside the Duke's mansion.
Prince Yu, Xiao Jingyu, and Fu Mingjun, the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo, who held the official position of Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, stepped down from the large carriage one after the other.
When Xiao Jingyu and Fu Mingjun saw the carriage that had stopped behind them, they rushed forward and helped the Duke of Anguo and his two sons off the carriage.
When the Duke of Anguo and his two sons saw Prince Yu, Xiao Jingyu, who came to the Duke's mansion to report every day, they just smiled. They were already used to it and it had become second nature to them!
Duke Anguo Fu Peng led the way, followed by the eldest master Fu Yinglan, the second master Fu Yingze, Fu Mingjun, and Xiao Jingyu. The group entered the mansion together and headed to the second hall as usual.
As soon as they stepped into the second courtyard, they sensed something was amiss...
When they returned home, the women of the household would already be waiting for them in the second hall.
But today... the second courtyard is quiet, with only a few servants standing guard here obediently;
After the servants opened the door to the second hall, they went inside and found it empty as well. Neither Madam Xue nor her daughter-in-law nor Leng Rongyue were there.
what 's wrong?
When they left in the morning, I didn't hear the grandmother, granddaughter, and daughter-in-law mention that they were going out!
Duke Anguo and the others were somewhat puzzled.
Fu Mingjun then asked the servants guarding the door, "Are the old lady, the two ladies, and the young lady in the manor?"
The servant hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the eldest young master, the old lady, the two ladies, and the young lady are all in the manor. However, they... they all went to the young lady's courtyard."
They should still be there!
