Chapter 526 - 526: Question
Jiang Ying understood the importance of the matter very well, which was why he chose to enter the palace so late at night and tell the emperor about it.
“Also, you must not tell Father about this,” the emperor said.
The people related to the previous dynasty had come out, and these people were working in the Retired Emperor’s businesses. The emperor was worried that the Retired Emperor would blame himself and his health would be even worse.
That was why he instructed Jiang Ying not to tell anyone.
Jiang Ying nodded. “Brother, what should we do with the leaders of the refugees?”
At the mention of the leaders of the refugees, the emperor couldn’t help but want to roll his eyes. “These two leaders committed suicide before they entered the palace. I didn’t get anything useful from them.”
Jiang Ying nodded. He was not surprised at all by the news that these people had committed suicide.
“Do you have anyone you suspect?” the emperor asked Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying shook his head. In any case, the refugees had already been sent back, and Ning Yue had also given them some resettlement money.
The payout was very considerable. Even if they did not go back, they could find a place to stay and start a small business for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, Jiang Ying was not in a hurry to investigate the mastermind who had encouraged these refugees to cause trouble.
However, Jiang Ying was very concerned about the previous dynasty. This matter was much more serious than anything else.
Tonight, he entered the palace to ask the emperor how to deal with the people and matters related to the previous dynasty. It was just a matter of convenience to ask about dealing with the leader of the refugees.
“Perhaps you can start with Prince Chu,” the emperor told Jiang Ying.
“Him?” Jiang Ying was stunned.
He knew Prince Chu’s ambitions, but he couldn’t figure out why he would do this.
Inciting the refugees to cause trouble in Prince Jin’s residence could at most make the commoners have objections to Prince Jin’s residence. It could not sow discord between their family and the emperor and could not hurt the foundation of the country.
“Perhaps this is just an appetizer given by Prince Chu. He might have a backup plan,” the emperor said.
Jiang Ying fell silent. According to Prince Chu’s personality, it was indeed very likely that he would do this. Jiang Ying asked the emperor, “Should I investigate in advance?”
The emperor thought for a moment and nodded. “We can investigate, but there’s no need to focus on this.”
At the moment, the most important thing was to investigate people and things related to the previous dynasty.
“Brother, don’t worry. I know,” Jiang Ying said.
Then, the emperor gave some more instructions and Jiang Ying left.
When he returned home, Jiang Ying wanted to tell Ning Yue something related to the previous dynasty, but Ning Yue was already asleep, so he did not disturb her again.
The next day, the two of them were woken up by Uncle Su’s voice. Ning Yue rubbed her sleepy eyes and washed up as quickly as possible before leaving the room.
At this moment, Jiang Ying happened to come out.
Seeing Uncle Su’s flustered expression, they asked, “What happened? Why are you so flustered?”
Ning Yue frowned tightly. When she first saw Uncle Su, she felt that he was Jiang Ying’s right-hand man and would not panic even when something serious happened.
However, his current appearance puzzled Ning Yue.
“Princess, the person you brought back last night suddenly made a scene and beat us all up. Look, I’m here to ask for help,” Uncle Su said.
This time, Jiang Ying was even more puzzled. Uncle Su’s martial arts were very powerful. Apart from those top experts within a hundred miles, almost no one in the world could defeat him.
This Guang Yao could actually hit him. Jiang Ying was very shocked.
“Why did he suddenly make a fuss and hit someone?” Jiang Ying asked.
“I don’t know. He seems to have suddenly gone crazy. He keeps asking me to let him out, but you’ve instructed me that apart from freedom, I can give him anything he wants.”
Uncle Su did not agree to let him go, so he began to argue and hit people.
“Let’s go and see what’s going on first,” Ning Yue said.
The two of them came to Guang Yao and Guang Yao said fiercely, “If you don’t let me go, my brother-in-law won’t let you off.”
Ning Yue frowned. Guang Yao was different from yesterday’s timid and afraid appearance. What was going on?
“Who are you?” Ning Yue asked.
“I’m Guang Zong,” Guang Yao said.
After receiving his answer, Ning Yue had a guess in her heart. Guang Yao had two personalities.
Ning Yue sighed heavily and said, “I want to see Guang Yao.”
Guang Zong immediately became vigilant.. He asked Ning Yue, “Why do you want to see him?”
