Thats true. Be careful. Zhou Ying went to get busy after that.

Gu Chengrui saw that there were ripe tomatoes in the field. He picked one, washed it, and ate it as he walked toward the gra.s.sland.

At the same time, Yang s.h.i.+cheng had finished his meal and was thinking about preparing a dowry for Yang Wanyu in his study.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Before he could come back to his senses, he saw two imperial guards rush in and grab him.

Yang s.h.i.+cheng was stunned at first, but when he returned to his senses, he panicked. He looked at Xiao Heng, standing at his door, and asked, Chief Xiao, whats going on?

Lord Yang, what do you think is going on here?

Yang s.h.i.+cheng was surprised by the rhetorical question but quickly realized the Emperor must have ordered his capture. His mood immediately wilted.

Xiao Heng saw that he had calmed down and waved his hand. Take him away.

On the way, Yang s.h.i.+cheng asked Chief Xiao about the reason for his capture. Although he didnt get definite information, he knew things werent good when he saw the murderous look on Chief Xiaos face.

He got uneasy. Could it be that the Emperor knew about his corruption?

No, no way that was the case. If the Emperor knew about his corruption, he would not be arresting him but ransacking his homes.

Thinking of this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

The First Prince would definitely think of a way to save him, as long as it wasnt about his corruption and he didnt relent.

Soon, Yang Zhicheng was thrown into prison at the Ministry of Justice.

As soon as he laid down in his cell, he heard a series of wails and howls. Dozens of people were thrown in, one after another.

Five people were a.s.signed to the cell he was in.

Initially, he wanted to hear what they had to say to see if he could figure out why he was suddenly jailed.

However, after 15 minutes, the five men just found a place to lean against and fell asleep.

He had no choice but to pull some of his hair down and make a sorry appearance.

He moved to a thin middle-aged man and asked, Brother, what did you do? Why are there so many people coming in all of a sudden?

That person glanced at him and saw that he was rich and n.o.ble. He immediately replied in a bad mood, Tell me who you are and what you have done first.

I

My son gambled away all our family property, and were being chased by people everywhere. I dont have a place to hide, so 1 bribe the guards to come in and hide.

The man was stunned at first, then gave a thumbs up, saying, Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

We would have starved to death by now if everyone was all as cunning as you.

Yang s.h.i.+cheng paused and deliberately looked at him in panic. You, youre from the casino?

No, but Im also responsible for collecting debts. If I knew the higher-ups would be so strict, I wouldnt have joined a group. Now, Im afraid Ill be exiled even if I survive this ordeal.

When Yang s.h.i.+cheng heard him say that, he immediately thought of the Cui familys loan shark business.

He quickly asked the man whether they were part of the Cui familys group.

How did you know? the man asked, looking at him warily.

I heard about it. This has spread throughout the prison over the past two days.

Looks like were really screwed this time, the man said dejectedly.

After realizing what was happening, Yang s.h.i.+cheng didnt dare ask any more questions. These people would most likely tear him apart if his ident.i.ty were revealed.

After Yang s.h.i.+cheng had been captured from the Yang Residence, Yang Wanning and Yang Wanyu also received the news. By the time they chased after him, he had already left.

Yang Wanyu immediately ordered Yang Wanning, Hurry up and beg King Rui to see if he can save Father as soon as possible.

Yang Wanning sneered after hearing this. Why dont you go to Prince Hui? Mother has a good relations.h.i.+p with the Empress, so begging them will give you a better chance.

After saying that, she just returned to her small courtyard..
