Chapter 151 Departure (The End)

Seeing that the patrolling guards were still under hypnosis, Li Wei quickly slipped into the Duke's mansion.

He scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that there was no underground palace in the Duke of Weilie's mansion.

That's quite rare.

Li Wei pondered for a moment, then scanned the rooms in the mansion with his divine sense.

Sure enough, there was a room where divine sense could not penetrate at all.

He flew to the roof of the house, shattered it with a single kick, and entered the room.

A dazzling golden light greeted the eye.

It turns out that Meng Rang had covered the walls and roof with gold leaf to shield himself from divine sense.

Without any hesitation, Li Wei collected all the gold, silver, and even banknotes in the room into his spatial ring.

Knowing that the commotion he had just made would likely attract patrols soon, he did what he had done before: tossed down a piece of white jade paper with "Chenxing Zhenbei" written on it and drifted away.

When they returned to the princess's residence, it was just past midnight.

Li Wei was overjoyed.

He had just counted his spoils; there were 1.77 million taels of silver alone.

Of course, it wasn't done manually; the money was directly deposited into the system.

[The host currently possesses 1.77 million taels of silver. Would you like to recharge it all?]

"yes!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on your first single recharge exceeding one million! Reward: 100000 recharge points.]

[Current recharge points: 2368360]

"A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grazing."

Li Wei sighed inwardly.

He struggled to run his business, and in half a year he didn't earn as much as he did in one night.

If these industries didn't all have their own significance, he probably would have thought that doing business honestly was stupid.

However, these two were incredibly wealthy. Apart from the 1.77 million taels of silver, Li Wei roughly counted that there were also more than 8,000 taels of gold, more than 500,000 taels of silver notes, and three large boxes of jewelry and jade, which were estimated to be worth several hundred thousand taels.

It's understandable that Meng Rang is wealthy. The title of Duke of Weilie is hereditary and his family has been renting land and lending money for generations. They also have many properties in the capital.

Qian Su came from a poor family.

He actually used his position as the Minister of Personnel to extort money and bribes, and managed to amass 600,000 taels of silver, as well as a lot of gold and jewelry.

This demonstrates the severity of their corruption.

After a moment of reflection, Li Wei went to Long Bilin's bedroom.

"Is it over?" Long Bilin asked.

Li Wei nodded and told the other party what he knew.

"Ancestor Xiao Mo is most skilled in concealment and counter-surveillance, so those two in the south definitely can't catch him. As for the north, with Ancestor Xu Xuan holding back and misleading people, Elder Yao Yue should also be able to escape."

"But this is going too far; won't it make us a suspect?"

Long Bilin was still a little worried; Li Wei's actions were really too bold.

If the other party hadn't never disappointed her, she really wouldn't have dared to agree to help.

"It's alright, this group has offended too many people recently."

Li Wei told Long Bilin about how he had framed someone in the gang of the Prince of Zhenbei.

After listening, Long Bilin suddenly understood.

"There is indeed a group of people in the imperial clan who oppose Father and want to support the lineage of the Prince of Zhenbei—framing them will surely divert Father's attention."

"The main thing is, even if your father suspects that we did it, he won't say anything."

"Because I genuinely helped him get rid of a major corrupt official and even revoked the title of a hereditary duke."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Even that Long Luo, your father probably doesn't like him very much, because he is still Long Chen's son after all."

"The Prince of Jin's faction won't easily accuse us, because I still have dirt on the Prime Minister's office. Gongsun Wen won't easily turn against us unless absolutely necessary."

After Li Wei's analysis, Long Bilin finally felt relieved.

She discovered that Li Wei was quite adept at scheming and plotting, she just didn't like it.

As for the downfall of the princelings, it was actually inevitable.

Those princelings who were capable of escaping have already severed ties with Longming. The remaining group not only lacks real strength but also likes to cause trouble.

He actually dared to dream of replacing Li Wei, joining the princess's palace, and riding on Long Bilin's chariot.

Of course, the main reason is that they had offended the Prince of Jin's faction too badly before, and they had no other choice but to remain neutral.

For example, Qian Su, relying on his position as Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, repeatedly obstructed Gongsun Wen from placing his own people in various departments.

Since Long Ming was crippled, the fate of these people was already destined to be tragic.

Their schemes to oust the Prince of Zhenbei, exclude Li Wei, and request to join the Princess's household were all self-preservation strategies.

Originally, their fate should have been to be gradually eliminated or marginalized in the officialdom of Dali, but unexpectedly, Li Wei gave them a swift and decisive end.

It's really relaxing.

The next day, the series of murders shocked the entire capital.

Two dukes and a third-rank official were attacked on the same night, and all the men in their families were killed.

The perpetrator was extremely brazen.

The four Void Realm cultivators sent by the imperial court failed to capture a single hair.

Long Yin was furious and ordered the Dragon Guards to strengthen nighttime vigilance. He also personally wrote eulogies for the two dukes.

When Li Wei heard Long Yin's actions, which were all bark and no bite, he knew that the other party was not angry at all.

Then I was completely relieved.

at night.

Li Wei first went to Xiao Shuying's room and said that he was going to Wei the next day and wanted some nice memories, which successfully led Xiao Shuying to Long Bilin's place.

The three of them slept together for the third time.

"Husband, must we leave tomorrow morning?"

Long Bilin asked, her eyes sparkling.

"Well, Senior Sister Yan's identity can't withstand a thorough investigation. To prevent a martial law from being imposed after the attack, she set off yesterday afternoon. If I don't catch up with her soon, I'll be leaving her hanging for too long."

Li Wei explained.

He embraced both women, traversing mountains and valleys. After a while, he noticed that both women's skin temperatures were abnormal, so he secretly sent a telepathic message to Long Bilin.

Upon hearing this, Long Bilin nodded slightly in agreement.

Li Wei secretly gave his princess wife a thumbs up, then grabbed Xiao Shuying and turned her over.

Caught off guard, Xiao Shuying was pinned down by him.

At first she was a little resistant, but she was quickly captivated by Li Wei's kisses.

Long Bilin watched the two of them from the side, her face flushed.

After a long time, she seemed to see the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, falling to earth, and turning into a brilliant meteor shower.

She was mesmerized by the dazzling meteor shower and wanted to grasp the beauty before her.

Li Wei naturally wouldn't let her do anything reckless.

He released Xiao Shuying, slipped his hands under Long Bilin's armpits, and hugged her from behind.

The two worked together seamlessly, exploring the origins of life, human history, and the future.

The next day, Li Wei got up and washed with the help of Ju and Zhu.

Looking at the two beauties on the bed in their languid state, I felt refreshed and invigorated.

After waiting for half an hour, the two women finally managed to get up.

Last night, Li Wei did not practice the dual cultivation technique because he considered that their spiritual essence had not yet recovered.

Even so, they felt they couldn't handle it.

If it weren't for seeing Li Wei off, I probably would have stayed in bed for most of the day.

While they were washing up, Li Wei went to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, intending to say goodbye to Long Xiaoxiao before setting off.

Xiao Xiao already knew he was going to be away for a while, so she was mentally prepared and didn't have much of an emotional reaction.

"Brother-in-law, come home early!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she thought for a moment, tiptoed, gave Li Wei a quick kiss on the cheek, and then blushed and ran into the room.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment by the kiss, but then he was quite happy.

It was three quarters past Chen Shi (7:45 AM) when he left the princess's residence and headed towards the north gate of the capital.

Lin Peiyao was informed by Li Wei yesterday that he would be leaving the capital today, so she rushed over to see him off and accompanied him all the way to the North Gate.

Due to their status, Long Bilin and Xiao Shuying could not follow behind him. The two stood in front of the princess's mansion and watched his figure disappear into the distance. After a long time, they entered the mansion and closed the gate.
