Song Yuancheng was sleeping soundly with a beautiful concubine in his arms. When he heard the voice, he was startled and immediately sat up from the bed. The concubine also quickly got up and knelt on the bed.

Song Yuancheng ignored her and casually picked up a piece of clothing to put on. He opened the door and went out, asking with a malicious expression, “What’s going on?”

The servant knelt and said, “Old Master! Our mansion is surrounded! There are many soldiers with torches outside!”

Song Yuancheng’s heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale instantly. Could it be that what he did was discovered?

He hesitated. One moment, he wanted to pack up his things and escape, and the next moment, he felt that his actions were so secretive that no one would know.

The concubine took some clothes from behind and helped him put them on. His body stiffened, and he did not know what to do.

After he put on his clothes, he gritted his teeth and walked out.

Lin Zhiqing stared at his back with a puzzled expression. After thinking for a while, he followed quietly.

“Who are you? Why are you surrounding my mansion? I am the prefect of Cairo City! Tell me your name!” Song Yuancheng shouted first.

When he took a closer look, he realized that the person in the lead was Ming Zhiyan. He was stunned.

Then, he cursed, “Ming Zhiyan! What right do you have to surround my residence!? I am the prefect of Cairo City, personally appointed by His Majesty. You are the county magistrate of Shifeng County, and I am your superior officer. What right do you have to bring troops to surround my residence? Do you have His Majesty’s orders!?”

Ming Zhiyan’s face did not change at all. He ignored him and ordered, “Go in and search!”

Immediately, the soldiers dismounted from their horses and rushed into the prefect’s residence in an orderly manner. Song Yuancheng was pushed aside. He was both angry and afraid. He did not know why Ming Zhiyan was here and what he was looking for.

Ever since the last time his residence was burned, he had not let go of anything important. Thinking of this, he relaxed a little and immediately became confident. He bluffed, “What are you doing?! Why are you going in to search?! Ming Zhiyan, I am your superior officer. If you don’t take out His Majesty’s decree, this matter will not end today! I will personally write a memorial to refer you to His Majesty!”

Ming Zhiyan coldly glanced at him and mocked, “Do you dare?”

“You!” Song Yuancheng was angered by his blatant mockery. He knew Ming Zhiyan’s reputation in the capital was not that good. This person had always been brash. The fearless Crown Prince Ming was sinister and ruthless.

He dared to do anything and offend anyone. It was only because His Majesty was protecting him. Even if he killed the son of a Duke, His Majesty was still protecting him. Now, not to mention that he was only going in to search, even if he burned down his mansion, His Majesty would not blame him.

More importantly, because he had done something that could not be told to outsiders, he did not have the confidence to complain.

Ming Zhiyan could see through this person at a glance, he calmly rode past him and went inside.

Although song Yuancheng was angry, he still wanted to know what they were looking for, so he followed them in.

Lin Zhiqing first sneaked out behind Song Yuancheng. When he really could not follow anymore, he found a dark corner to hide. He wanted to know what had happened. He did not expect to see Ming Zhiyan leading people to surround the entire mansion. It seemed that he could not go out now. After thinking for a while, he decided to find a place to hide and wait to see what the situation was like.

The prefect’s mansion was very big, but he was very familiar with this place. Lin Zhiqing first followed a hidden path to the back, but he did not expect to hear a strange sound when he passed by a small courtyard.
