Princess, something terrible has happened! The prince consort has attempted suicide again!

Zhang Xiaomeng asked, "What brings you two here?"

One of them replied, "Your Highness, we encountered a woman named Lu Xiaolan. She reported that Your Highness had kidnapped Liu Wanfu and asked us to take men to arrest Your Highness. We have come to report this matter."

Zhang Xiaomeng raised an eyebrow.

I couldn't be bothered with that gold digger, but she just wouldn't let go.

Let's teach her a lesson.

I'll think about it.

Zhang Xiaomeng said calmly, "I arrested Liu Wanfu on the Emperor's orders. Lu Xiaolan's baseless accusation is obstructing official business. You two, go and seize her immediately. If she dares to resist, you know what to do."

"Your subordinate obeys."

The two agreed and then turned and left.

Zhang Xiaomeng then turned his gaze to Liu Ru, a mocking smile on his face. "Qianhu's sister, do you still think we're imposters?"

At this moment, Liu Ru was completely stunned and did not react as if she had lost her soul.

Zhang Xiaomeng walked up to her and whispered, "My falling out with Lao Deng was just an act, but you actually took it seriously."

Liu Ru's pupils suddenly contracted.

Zhang Xiaomeng continued, "Next up is your good-for-nothing son. Watch how I deal with him."

Liu Ru's eyes widened as if she wanted to devour someone, her expression ferocious, and she roared hysterically, "I'll fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, he bared his teeth and claws and pounced on Zhang Xiaomeng.

Wang Dongjian kicked her to the ground.

He was immediately pinned down by two Imperial Guards and unable to move.

Zhang Xiaomeng glanced around and announced loudly, "The Liu family of the Marquis of Yongwu's mansion hired thugs to harm this young master. Their hearts are wicked, and their crimes are heinous. By imperial decree, their imperial title is revoked, they are demoted to commoners, and exiled three thousand li away, never to return to the capital. The rest of them are to be imprisoned in death row and executed in the autumn!"

The onlookers were immediately in an uproar, never expecting that the abandoned son would receive the imperial decree and bring down the mistress.

This is about to completely change the situation in the Marquis's mansion!

"As for you..."

Zhang Xiaomeng turned to look at Liu Wanfu.

"Your Highness, spare my life! I did everything you ordered, please spare my life!"

Liu Wanfu knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Zhang Xiaomeng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I always keep my word. You've done a good job exposing this, so you can be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. You'll be exiled with your dear cousin, so you'll have company on the road."

Liu Wanfu was stunned.

He betrayed his cousin, and they became complete enemies.

Now that he's been exiled with her, she definitely won't let him off the hook.

This is clearly a dead end, a dead end that will only lead to suffering. This child has a cruel heart.

"Alright, there's nothing more to see, everyone can go now."

Zhang Xiaomeng dismissed all the onlookers, and Wang Dongjian stepped forward to ask, "Young Master Zhang, shall we return to report now?"

Zhang Xiaomeng glanced at the sky; it was already dusk.

After a long day of work, he was exhausted and ordered, "Take them back first. This case isn't over yet. We'll continue tomorrow."

Wang Dongjian had a terrible headache.

He has already executed a Minister of Revenue during this case.

Now that the person has been arrested, they still want to continue. Is this guy trying to tear a hole in the sky?

After Wang Dongjian and his men left, Zhang Xiaomeng pointed at Zhang San and Zhang Quan and coldly ordered, "Throw them out. They are no longer members of the Marquis's mansion."

"Yes, young master."

This time, no one dared to think that Zhang Xiaomeng was a pawn anymore, and Zhang Dongda immediately ordered his men to throw Zhang San and Zhang Quan out of the Marquis's mansion.

The two pleaded desperately, but it was too late for their regrets.

When Zhang Xiaomeng returned to Lingyun Courtyard, all the servants bowed to him.

Everyone was respectful, even fearful.

They thought that following the young master meant they had no future.

It seems that the eldest young master will be in charge of the Marquis's mansion from now on, and we will all benefit from our master's influence.

Feng Yi followed Zhang Xiaomeng closely until he entered the bedroom. Then, Feng Yi's figure flickered, and as usual, she disappeared somewhere.

Zhang Xiaomeng was used to it. After closing the door, he first stretched and poured himself a cup of tea.

He immediately sat down, took out the book "The Tale of Yu Niang" from his pocket, and eagerly opened it.

Upon seeing this from the shadows, Feng Yi frowned.

I thought he was in a hurry to go into the room to do something, but it turns out he was reading this kind of vulgar novel.

Men are all the same.

Zhang Xiaomeng carefully examined the document and confirmed that the dots and lines on it were indeed Morse code.

"How could such methods exist in ancient times? Could there be other time travelers? What is he doing using Morse code in an obscene book?"

Zhang Xiaomeng pondered to himself, guessing that there must be some secret hidden in the storybook.

After obtaining the system in his previous life, he completed all sorts of bizarre tasks, one of which was to master Morse code.

But even with the password, without the corresponding lookup table, he couldn't crack it.

The cover of this storybook says "The Tale of Yu Niang, Volume One," but the content is incomplete; there must be several other volumes.

I think once I collect them all, I should be able to crack the code.

"Forget it, my goal is to die so I can go back and win the grand prize. Who cares if he's a time traveler or not? What does it have to do with me?"

Zhang Xiaomeng quickly lost interest and casually tossed the storybook aside.

at the same time.

Lu Xiaolan lingered at the entrance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, growing more and more anxious as she waited.

She still needed Liu Wanfu to live a life of luxury, and absolutely nothing could happen to her.

Lu Xiaolan was accompanied by a man who looked like a scoundrel; he was her younger brother, Lu Wang.

"Sister, don't worry. Zhang Xiaomeng is such a good-for-nothing, how could he be a match for the Imperial Guards? Brother-in-law will definitely return safely."

Lu Xiaolan felt much more at ease after being comforted by Lu Wang's words.

Yes, the Embroidered Uniform Guards are the Emperor's personal guards, and each of them is exceptionally skilled.

Zhang Xiaomeng is a down-and-out outcast. Even if he gathers a lot of people, they are just a rabble and he has no chance of getting the better of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Sister, they're back."

Luwang suddenly pointed ahead.

Just then, the two Imperial Guards from earlier strode over.

Lu Xiaolan was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Did you catch Zhang Xiaomeng? Where's Boss Liu?"

To everyone's surprise, the two guards coldly rebuked her, "Lu Xiaolan, you are suspected of obstructing official business. We are about to arrest you for investigation!"

Lu Xiaolan was taken aback. "My lords, I have always obeyed the law. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"The evidence is irrefutable; you can't deny it! Guards, arrest her!"

At a command, two men rushed out from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and grabbed Lu Xiaolan's arms from both sides.

Lu Wang said urgently, "You can't arrest my sister! My sister works for Liu Wanfu, and his cousin is the mistress of the Marquis of Yongwu's mansion. Have you thought about the consequences?"

The Imperial Guard gave a cold laugh. "You mean Liu Ru? She's already been arrested. You still want to use her to threaten us? That's ridiculous."

Lu Xiaolan was shocked and disbelieving: "How could Madam Liu have been arrested? You're talking nonsense."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another group of people walked towards them.

The one leading them was none other than Wang Dongjian.

Upon seeing Liu Wanfu from afar, Lu Xiaolan immediately shouted, "Master Liu, save me!"

Lu Wang even shouted, "My brother-in-law is here! You'd better release my sister now, or you'll regret it!"
