Excuse to go out and buy things, Lu Ruojiang went to a jewelry store. This shop is his property. Although the shopkeeper here may not necessarily know him, they will definitely recognize his signature. He doesn't know where the guards are looking for him, and it's not convenient for him to inquire, but this shopkeeper can.
"Shopkeeper, do you have this style of jewelry here?" Lu Ruojiang said, handing over what was in his hand.
The shopkeeper's face showed some impatience, but when he saw the pattern on the paper clearly, his expression changed, and he looked at Lu Ruojiang, almost kneeling down to pay his respects immediately.
Lu Ruojiang held him up and said, "Are you going to say something, shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper suddenly understood, wiped the sweat from his temples, and said, "Yes, yes, honored guest, please come inside."
In the inner room, the shopkeeper bowed to Lu Ruojiang and said, "I pay my respects to the Prince!" Lu Ruojiang nodded and replied, "Rise, do you know where the people from the Prince's residence are now?"
When the master encounters trouble, the subordinates naturally have to be concerned. So when Lu Ruojiang asked, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and answered, "After your trouble, Lord Liu Yong took some of the mansion guards to inquire about your whereabouts in the streets. Normally, he rests at the county office. Lord Lu Qi is leading another group to search in the water day and night."
Lu Ruojiang nodded and then ordered, "Go to the county office and bring Liu Yong to me."
"Yes."
......
Liu Yong rubbed his brow, feeling an urgent anxiety inside but maintaining a calm exterior to avoid causing unrest. If this continued, he would surely develop blisters at the corners of his mouth.
But these were all minor matters. If Prince couldn't be found, they were not scholars without the special privilege of escaping death. Exile and confiscation of property were light punishments, while severe ones involved implicating the entire family!
Sighing, Liu Yong continued to search through the documents his subordinates had presented, which potentially contained information about Prince.
"Sir," a guard walked in, "there's a merchant outside requesting to see you, claiming to have news about Prince..."
Liu Yong frowned. In order to find Prince as soon as possible, he had posted notices offering a reward of one hundred guan for anyone who could provide valid clues.
It's not that he's stingy, but if he offered too much money, it would attract the attention of unscrupulous individuals to Prince, and that would be his fault.
But with just this hundred guan, there are still quite a few people who come every day to try their luck, but unfortunately, they are all useless news.
So when Liu Yong heard the guard say this, he thought it was another person trying to take advantage of a small opportunity to try their luck. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, he waved his hand and said, "I don't want to see him!"
The guard hesitated for a moment and then said, "But it seems that his shop is part of Prince's property."
Liu Yong glared, "Why didn't you say so earlier! Useless, just get to the point next time!"
The guard patted his head, thinking, "You didn't give me a chance to finish speaking."
The shopkeeper came in, bowed to Liu Yong, and without any nonsense, directly showed Liu Yong Lu Ruojiang's seal, "The Prince is now waiting in my shop. Please come over, Lord Liu Yong."
Along the way, Liu Yong thought a lot. Why didn't Prince go directly to the county office? Why did Prince let this vendor deliver the message? Could it be that because of this incident, Prince has begun to doubt the loyalty of those around him?
The more Liu Yong thought, the more serious his expression became, and he began to recall which people had been acting strangely recently.
After much contemplation, Liu Yong couldn't find anyone to suspect. When he was puzzled, suddenly a thought struck him: Could it be that Prince suspects him?
But he, Liu Yong, is an old man in the Prince's mansion. He has been with the Prince since childhood. Every time he was punished or skipped class, it was always him and Lu Qi helping the Prince. Over the years, the Prince has also trusted the two of them greatly and has been very close to them. The Prince can't suspect him... right?
