Chapter 2631: Chapter 2631: City Defense Force Notice
Behind him, there followed about twenty maids, all of whom looked quite decent. They must have been forcibly brought into the residence by him over the past few years, right?
"Jiāer, youāre just in time. Come with Consort Wen to have a look outside."
Dowager Consort Yu saw her eldest son and reached out to pull him close. With him there, Prince Zhan wouldnāt dare do anything to them, mother and son. Prince Zhan wouldnāt possibly dare to kill the Retired Emperorās own son, would he?
"Alright, Mother. I also want to see who is so bold. I shall eliminate his entire clan!" The Fifteenth Prince arrogantly placed one hand on his hip, shouting.
This phrase was something he often had on his lips because Consort Wen had told him that he would definitely ascend to the throne to become Emperor in the future. So, as Emperor, wouldnāt he have the power to exterminate entire clans?
Upon hearing her sonās words, Dowager Consort Yu steadied her heart once more.
Indeed, what was there to fear? Hadnāt the Retired Emperor promised her that once the great task was accomplished, her son would be the Crown Prince, and thus the future Emperor?
How could Prince Zhan dare touch her?
"Come, letās go and see."
She held the Fifteenth Princeās hand and led a group of servants toward the gate.
...
Outside the gate of the Princeās Mansion, it was already surrounded tightly.
Not only were there soldiers from the City Defense Force, but also commoners who came after hearing news to see what was happening. Those who could read were pointing at the announcement posted outside the gate.
"This says that the common people of Ying City, if anyone has had family members taken by the Princeās Mansion, they can come here to register and be entered into the list. Then the authorities will follow the list to return them."
"Is this true? This is the Princeās Mansion, after all. The Prefectural Master couldnāt handle it for years, and now they can manage the people inside the Princeās Mansion?" The commoners were amazed; the Princeās Mansion was surrounded as soon as they said it would be. Could it be that their Prefectural Master had decided to resist?
Hardly possible. If the Prefectural Master intended to resist, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?
"Scholar Liu, tell us, what else does it say? Canāt be fooling us, can it?" someone questioned suspiciously.
"An official government announcement canāt be wrong. Itās definitely true." The man referred to as Scholar Liu took a closer look at the notice before speaking.
Suddenly, his gaze fell to the bottom of the announcement, where the signature was surprisingly not from the prefectural office but the City Defense Force.
"Hold on, this is an announcement from the City Defense Force, not the prefectural office."
Whatās going on? The City Defense Force had always refrained from interfering with Ying Cityās administrative affairs, focusing solely on the cityās security. So why did they suddenly involve themselves with the Princeās Mansion?
"An announcement by the City Defense Force? Whatās going on?" Upon hearing Scholar Liuās words, the crowd was puzzled.
Could it be that those soldiers finally couldnāt tolerate Dowager Consort Yu and her son and mustered the courage to rebel against them? This would truly be a great news.
But something about this situation doesnāt seem right.
Even if the City Defense Force rebelled against the mother and son, why wouldnāt the prefectural office intervene? How could they let the City Defense Force surround the Princeās Mansion?
"When did the City Defense Force start handling such matters? Might they be teaming up with the people in the Princeās Mansion to harm everyone?"
Itās wise to be cautious. Naturally, some were suspicious, having already been deceived by Dowager Consort Yu and her son. If they hastily believed any small disruption, theyād perish without understanding how they died.
