Chapter 2139: Chapter 2139: Want to Defy My Orders?

"It is so, my lord, that Yishan Commandery near Dream Flame City has suffered a disaster. The princess has ordered that all the money earned be spent on purchasing grain to be distributed to the poor families, leaving not a single penny for themselves."

He said.

"Um."

Prince Niu nodded.

"If that’s the case, then sell off all the money and properties of Steward Luo as well, and send it to Yishan Commandery. Remember, sell it discreetly, do not let anyone notice."

He instructed.

"Yes, my lord."

The man in black accepted the order, then turned and prepared to leave to carry out the tasks.

"Wait."

Suddenly, Prince Niu called him back.

"What further instructions do you have, my lord?" The man in black turned back and asked.

"After Steward Luo came to Prince Niu’s Mansion, he took a new wife," Prince Niu recalled and said.

"There must be plenty of possessions in his house as well, leave some for those people for emergency funds, take the rest to Yishan Commandery.

Having been fed luxuriously here in my mansion for so many years, a sheep that has grown so fat cannot just have its wool plucked, letting the rest be swallowed by the sheep, otherwise, what would become of my Prince Niu’s Mansion?"

"Yes, my lord, your subordinate will go handle it immediately." The man in black accepted the command and left to handle the tasks.

After everyone had left, Prince Niu took a deep breath, then let it out heavily.

It had been so long since he had finally felt like he was truly in charge. If it was so with Yin Lvqing, naturally, it would be the same with other areas.

...

In the study of the Eighth Prince’s Mansion.

After stuffing the written letter into a bamboo tube, Yin Lvqing lifted his eyes and swept towards the guard standing opposite him.

"Send this letter out immediately, do not delay a moment," he ordered.

"My lord, can this letter really be sent out?"

The guard, although he took the bamboo tube into his hand, still hesitated and looked at Yin Lvqing, asking.

"What, you intend to defy my order?"

Hearing his words, Yin Lvqing’s eyes hardened, questioning the guard.

"It’s not what your subordinate meant."

The guard felt a shudder on his scalp and immediately shook his head.

Where would he dare to defy orders? But who knows if someone is watching their Eighth Prince’s Mansion?

Sending the letter out at this time, what if something unexpected happens? They wouldn’t be able to regret it then.

"He never said we can pass messages to him; what should we do if this letter exposes him?"

"Just be careful, how could you be exposed?" Yin Lvqing frowned, saying displeasingly.

Being exposed would only mean incompetence on their part. As long as they carried out their actions carefully, how could anyone track them down and expose that person’s whereabouts?

"One may never be too careful," the guard advised.

"Just stop with your ominous words, will you?" Yin Lvqing glared at the guard, grinding his teeth.

"Besides, is this the time to discuss this? The people we planted inside Prince Niu’s Mansion have already been completely uprooted. If this continues, even if something happens inside Prince Niu’s Mansion, we would be none the wiser.

The man had ordered that no matter how critical the situation is, we must keep our eyes on Prince Niu’s Mansion."

"This..."

The guard actually agreed with what Yin Lvqing said.

That was also what the man had instructed them before leaving; Prince Niu’s Mansion was the utmost priority, more important than even the palace itself.
