Chapter 165 The Envoy
At night, a cool breeze blows.
In the alley outside the Bai Mansion, there stood a graceful figure. It was Tang Wanru. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a man in a dark blue robe flipped down from the air and stood respectfully behind her.
He clasped his fists and bowed, "Master!"
The man was called Li Zi Han, and he was the one who led the disaster victims to attack the Yongning Marquis Mansion and stole the dowry from the mansion some time ago.
He is the mastermind behind the disaster that the prince has been looking for.
Li Zi Han was chosen to be given to the prince at the last banquet at Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
The last time the victims of the disaster caused trouble, he ostensibly followed the orders of the Crown Prince and led the victims to attack the residence of Song Tiesheng of the Imperial City Bureau, but in fact he was following the orders of Tang Wanru and led the victims to attack the Yongning Marquis's residence and steal the dowry.
He is a very important chess piece arranged by Tang Wanru in the prince's camp.
And earlier -
Tang Wanru met him when she was giving out porridge in front of Bai's house. On that day, he had fled from Beijing and was penniless. Tang Wanru had personally given him a white flour bun.
He was very talented in Kung Fu. Although he did not get the top three in the martial arts examination held at the same time as the imperial examination, he was noticed by the leader of the imperial army because of his youth and talent, and was given the title of military lieutenant. When the prince of Yongning Marquis's mansion was recruiting people, he was instructed by Tang Wanru to become the first person to stand up and be willing to follow the prince.
So Zhou Ziyue’s guess was not wrong.
It was not because he forcibly abducted Tang Wanru that aroused the anger of the victims, but because the victims were led to head towards the Yongning Marquis Mansion from the very beginning!
Everything.
Someone is in control.
What he didn't know was that the person in control was Tang Wanru!
"Li Zihan." Tang Wanru turned around coldly, the moonlight shining on her body as if with favor, making her whole body glow with soft light, "You have worked hard recently."
"It is what I should do."
Li Zi Han's home was destroyed in the flood in Beijing. When he came to the capital, he had nothing. It was Tang Wanru who saw his great talent and showed him a way forward.
She saved his life, and he was willing to bow down to her!
"Master!" Li Zihan said, "Now that the flood in Peijing has receded, the victims have returned to Peijing to rebuild their homes. They have no chance to see you, so let me convey my deep gratitude and respect to you, Master."
As he spoke, Li Zi Han also bowed.
He was also a disaster victim and had the same feelings as them.
"No need to thank me." In response, Tang Wanru said calmly, "I just have my own plans."
To be honest, she did benefit a lot from it.
Without them, she would not have dared to sit in Zhou Ziyue's sedan chair alone!
In her eyes, it was just an exchange.
But Li Zi Han doesn't think so.
He didn't know what she wanted, but what he knew was that she wanted to save their lives!
"Master." Li Zihan said nothing more, but bowed and said, "All the dowries that the victims had snatched from the Marquis' Mansion have been collected. I will listen to your orders!"
dowry?
If he hadn't said it, Tang Wanru would have almost forgotten about it.
These things are not hers, so naturally they should go back to where they came from.
But before that, it has other uses.
Thinking of this, Tang Wanru told Li Zi Han to come closer and whispered a few words in his ear.

That night, in front of a warehouse in a dark alley.
"Is it here?" Wang Hua brought a group of people to the door of the warehouse. He was staring at the door of the warehouse excitedly.
He's been so unlucky lately!
Not only was he injured, but I heard that all the money he had given to Liu in the past two years was also snatched away by the victims!
These disaster victims are simply thugs!
He was injured before, and now he has stolen the second young lady’s dowry!
Of course he couldn't just sit there and wait for death!
So when his friend in the black market told him the location of the stolen dowry, he immediately came with a group of people!
This was something he had worked so hard to get!
Of course I have to take it back.
When he arrived here, he was surprised to find that the door of the warehouse was not locked.
He pushed gently and the door opened.
As soon as the door opened, ten dowry boxes were clearly visible. Wang Hua was excited and was about to go in.
Suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves. He turned around suddenly and saw two teams of soldiers appearing on both sides of the alley.
Wang Hua was wondering when he heard the leading man shout angrily: "Come here, the dowry that the victims robbed that day is in the hands of this man. He is the mastermind behind the incident. Arrest him immediately!"
The person who spoke was Zhou Ziyue.
what? !
Wang Hua was shocked. His pupils suddenly widened, and he watched Zhou Ziyue's men come up to catch him. He was so shocked that he kept backing away, "It's not me, I just got here, I'm not the mastermind, I'm not!"
However, before he could finish his words, he was captured by the soldiers.
The mastermind behind this!
This is a serious matter that could cost you your life.
Wang Hua realized instantly that he was being set up. He desperately shouted at Zhou Ziyue, "Prince, I am not the mastermind. I was framed. I belong to the Crown Prince's wife. Don't arrest me, Crown Prince. I belong to the Crown Prince's wife!"
When Zhou Ziyue heard this, he curled his lips coldly.
Returning the Crown Prince’s wife’s people?
If he was the wife of the Crown Prince, would he have snatched her dowry?
"Prince." Soon, one of Zhou Ziyue's men came up and said, "The dowry box inside is empty. There is nothing in it."
what?
Zhou Ziyue immediately turned around and grabbed Wang Hua's neck and asked, "Where are the things? Where are the things inside?"
"Prince, I really don't know anything! Prince, please believe me, I really don't know anything!"
"Waste!" Zhou Ziyue threw Wang Hua aside.
"Prince!" said the people around him, "There is nothing. We may have been deceived."
After the prince failed to bring the disaster to the general's mansion, he still asked him to investigate the mastermind behind the disaster. He received a secret report that the mastermind and the dowry would appear here tonight, so he rushed over.
But I didn't expect that the box was empty.
Looking at Wang Hua who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
Zhou Ziyue could see that he really knew nothing.
I don't think he is the mastermind behind this.
But so what?
This matter has dragged on for too long. The last time the prince tried to shift the blame to the general's mansion he failed. There has to be a scapegoat to take the responsibility, otherwise he will be the unlucky person.
No matter whether he knew about it or not, why would he come here?
Let’s take responsibility for this crime first and deal with it later.
Zhou Ziyue thought of this and ordered: "He is the mastermind behind the disaster, take him away!"
Someone came up and pulled him up immediately.
Wang Hua shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's not me, the prince, it's not me, I don't know anything, prince..."
His voice gradually disappeared into the darkness.
