ect me to manage my own affairs""I can't take it anymore, you know!"Zheng Bao Rong angrily said, "I'm doing this for the good of Weihaiwei. If it weren't for these years of taxation and construction o...Chapter 1391 Right, I want to too.

To be doing this kind of thing in broad daylight, and still three against one, do you think you can handle it!

Two burly men were filled with anguish inside, but they didn't dare to delay their duty for a moment, listening intently to any sound from within.

But after a moment, the door suddenly opened.

Two burly men looked over, but saw only a servant walking out with his head bowed.

That person lowered their head and walked out of the room without stopping.

Two burly men looked at each other, and after he walked away, one of them asked, "Should we follow him"

Another person shook their head and said, "It's probably someone from the Prince's side. Don't worry about it for now, we just need to keep an eye on the Prince."

"Didn't the superior order us to keep an eye on everyone around the prince" the man asked, unconvinced.

"Pig brain."

Another person said irritably, "There are so many orders from above, they don't know how difficult it is to get things done below. This is clearly just the Crown Prince playing with women and driving his servants away. When you play with your wife, do you like someone watching If that servant delays things here, how many heads do you have to atone"

Since the matter had been brought to this point, even those who had questioned it found reason in the argument and nodded in agreement, saying no more.

At this moment, laughter and playful banter between a man and a woman filled the room. The two of them immediately stopped their conversation, glanced at each other, and then muttered under their breath: "What a weakling!"

No one could have imagined that Li Chen would pull off such a switcheroo right under everyone's noses.

At this moment, it was Xiaozi who was teasing three women with pale faces and forced smiles in the room. Xu Wei was in charge of using force to threaten the three women into continuing the charade.

While Li Chen had already left the brothel directly through the back door.

After leaving the brothel, Li Chen's footsteps never faltered as he rushed towards his destination.

However, Li Chen was not familiar with Jincheng at all. After several inquiries, he finally arrived at a courtyard that wasn't too secluded.

Stepped forward, knocked on the door, and after a moment, the door was opened.

And sure enough, it was Zhou Ping'an at the back.

Seeing Li Chen dressed as a servant, Zhou Ping'an couldn't help but smile, but he still opened the door to let Li Chen in. After making sure no one was following him, he closed the door.

Entering the courtyard, Zhou Ping'an immediately knelt before Li Chen, "My lord, Zhou Ping'an, pays his respects to Your Highness."

Li Chen let out a cold snort, his face set in a stern expression as he reprimanded Zhou Ping'an. “Zhou Ping'an, I sent you to Jincheng to help me solve problems, not create them. Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you’ve gotten yourself into”

Although Li Chen was dressed in the clothes of a servant at this moment, his bearing remained. His expression was one of restrained power, and anyone with a timid heart would feel a shudder just looking at him.

Zhou Ping'an replied, "I know I deserve death, Your Highness. Please punish me as you see fit."

Li Chen saw Zhou Ping'an's appearance and was furious. He pointed at Zhou Ping'an and scolded: "I thought you were the most reliable person, who understood this palace's thoughts best, so I entrusted this matter to you without any worry. But what answer did you give me You directly exposed King Ning's scandal, forcing this palace to come here myself to clean up the mess for you. Do you know that your actions not only put yourself in a trap, but also risk causing the country and its people to split"

"Zhou Ping'an, this palace truly wants to immediately chop you up!"

"Yeah, me too."

When Li Chen's words fell, another voice came, full of sympathy in its tone.oud his mind.Logically, the 'ransom' submitted by the Liao envoy should have been counted and stored by the Ministry of Revenue. It naturally would be deposited into the national treasury, which is so...
