Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 283 The Duke is furious
Doctor Xue nodded, his eyes full of trust: "With the prince here, I can rest assured."
After a few days, Doctor Xue's health gradually improved under careful care.
The two left and returned to the study to discuss the matter.
Qing He frowned and said worriedly:
“Your Highness, how dare this Duke of England act so recklessly, attempting to control the ministers of the court with poison and seek greater power.
He is so lawless, if he is not stopped, there will be chaos and endanger the country."
Baili Ye looked solemn, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, thinking about how to respond:
“Of course, this king will not sit idly by, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
The Duke of England has deep roots in the court and many followers, so we cannot act rashly.
Now that we have emptied his warehouse and evidence, I'm afraid it will arouse his vigilance.
Although we can take him down now, I want to see what he does next."
Qing He bit her lip lightly and looked at Baili Ye firmly:
“Okay, then we will sign an agreement with the Turks today, and when we have collected all the evidence on the British Duke’s crimes, we will bring him down in one fell swoop.
When the evidence is solid, he will not be able to argue and will receive the punishment he deserves."
Baili Ye smiled and said, "Okay, let's go see our father and mother first, and then sign the contract."
Back at the Duke of England's mansion, the Duke of England woke up on his concubine's bed early in the morning, thinking about the things he had not finished because he came back too late yesterday.
He looked at the delicate concubine beside him with a dazed look, and his hands began to move naughtily again.
The concubine said coquettishly, "My Lord, it's broad daylight, why don't you restrain yourself?"
But there was no rejection in her eyes, instead there was a hint of charm that seemed to be both welcoming and rejecting.
The Duke of England said with a lewd smile:
"My beauty, if I don't see you for a day, it feels like a long time, so I don't care whether it is day or night."
As he said this, he pressed the concubine under him.
The concubine let out a soft cry, but wrapped her arms around the Duke of England's neck, panting.
The Duke of England became more and more excited and his movements became more and more rough, causing the bed to shake and the curtains to move slightly.
Just when the two were in love, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Duke, something bad has happened!"
The Duke of England shouted angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? You're ruining my mood!"
"My Lord, the warehouse... the warehouse has been emptied!"
The Duke of England stopped his actions instantly, and the lustful look on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of shock and anger.
He got up hurriedly, put on his clothes in a hurry, and rushed to the warehouse.
Along the way, his face was frighteningly gloomy and his heart was burning with anger.
When they arrived at the warehouse, they saw that the door was wide open and the inside was empty. The mountains of gold, silver, treasures and rare objects were nowhere to be seen.
The Duke of England stared at the empty warehouse with wide eyes in disbelief, his body trembling slightly.
"This...how is this possible! What happened? Who~who did it?" he roared, his voice echoing in the warehouse.
The butler beside him said tremblingly:
"My Lord, I came here early this morning and found this situation. I really don't know who did this."
The Duke of England glared at the butler fiercely, "Investigate! We must find this audacious thief!"
"Butler, bring over the people who patrolled yesterday?"
The butler responded and went out to look for someone. After a while, he came back with a team of people.
The Duke of England looked at them and said viciously, "Were you on duty yesterday?"
Everyone bowed and said, "Yes."
England angrily picked up the teacup and smashed it on the ground, "What happened last night? You didn't even notice the warehouse was emptied. Did you all grow up eating shit?"
Everyone was so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground. One of them said in a trembling voice:
"Please calm down, Duke. Everything was normal last night. I didn't hear any unusual noises."
The Duke of England's eyes widened in anger. "Normal? Then how could this warehouse disappear out of thin air? It must be you idiots who neglected your duty!"
Another person hurriedly said, "My Lord, we dare not slack off at all. We have been patrolling all night and we really didn't find any suspicious people."
The Duke of England snorted coldly: "Could it be that this warehouse grew wings and flew away? If you can't find out the truth, you will all die!"
At this time, a man who looked like a counselor came forward, clasped his hands and said:
"My Lord, this matter is probably not that simple. In my opinion, to be able to empty the warehouse overnight without being noticed, they must have been well prepared. There may be a bigger force behind it."
The Duke of England frowned and said, "Are you saying that someone is deliberately targeting me?"
The counselor nodded and said, "It is very likely. Lord, you have made many enemies in the court. Perhaps someone wants to take this opportunity to suppress you."
The Duke of England pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Whoever dares to touch my things will pay a heavy price!"
At this moment, a servant rushed in and said, "My Lord, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
"Why are you so flustered? Tell me what's going on." The Duke of England said angrily.
"The three shopkeepers we kidnapped have all been rescued. None of our people are left alive." The visitor answered in a panic.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of England's face became even gloomier, and veins popped out on his forehead, "Waste! A bunch of waste! They can't even keep an eye on a few people!"
The counselor on the side hurriedly advised:
"Please calm down, my Lord. This has happened one after another. Someone must have planned it carefully. Our top priority is to find out who the other party is and what their purpose is."
The Duke of England panted and paced back and forth, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! I want to find out who is behind this!"
"My Lord, in my opinion, were these two things done by the same group of people?
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? "The counselor speculated carefully.
The Duke of England stopped and looked sinister, "I didn't expect Baili Ye to find those shopkeepers so quickly. Humph, no matter who it is, if they dare to block my way, they must die!"
At this time, another confidant came and said, "Duke, the lady said that all the money in the backyard was stolen."
"What? The backyard was also stolen?" the Duke asked angrily.
The visitor replied tremblingly:
"Yes~Yes, Duke, now our family is penniless except for the little money in the account office."
The Duke of England was furious, "This is simply too much!" His eyes were red like an angry lion.
The counselor quickly said:
"My Lord, the situation is urgent now. We must find a way to deal with it quickly. The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation first and not lose our composure."
The Duke of England took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said:
“The three shopkeepers are the shopkeepers of the shop opened by Princess Chen. It must be Prince Chen who rescued them, but I didn’t expect them to be found so quickly.
However, our people are all die-hard warriors and will not betray us. It's a pity that the people we spent so much time and money to train are gone just like that.
I will make King Chen pay the price."
