The fierce formation of the Cui family servants made the people who were originally eager to try become hesitant. They looked at each other and secretly calculated the gains and losses in their hearts.

Although the law does not punish the majority at this time, if you really fight with this group of fully armed servants, you will probably lose your life. After weighing the pros and cons, most people feel that the risk is too great and it is not worth taking the risk!

Finally, after a brief stalemate, the people sighed, shook their heads, and turned away helplessly.

After all, they just wanted to take advantage of the situation and gain some small advantage, but they were not stupid enough to risk their own lives and property in a desperate fight.

In this way, a conflict that was about to break out was calmed down with the restraint of both sides, and the streets soon returned to their former tranquility!

Wan Qingyan stood at the corner of the street, watching from afar as the servants quickly carried Cui Shici into the mansion gate. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart!

She had originally planned to sneak into Cui's house to visit Cui Shici. You should know that today's events were planned and ordered by her. It was she who asked Shi Ming to humiliate and torture Cui Shici in every possible way!

After a moment of careful consideration, Wan Qingyan finally gave up the idea of ​​going to visit Cui Shici immediately!

She knew very well that when a person was in an embarrassing situation and had lost all dignity, the person he least wanted to face was the person he loved. If she rashly appeared in front of Cui Shici at this time, it would only make him feel more embarrassed and helpless!

Thinking of this, Wan Qingyan bit her lip, turned around resolutely, and walked quickly towards the yamen. She also wanted to go back and praise Shi Ming for his good work!

"Your Highness, I respectfully greet you!"

Shi Ming smiled, bowed slightly, and spoke respectfully.

As soon as Wan Qingyan stepped into the gate of the yamen, she saw Shi Ming coming to greet her with a smile. It turned out that she had been waiting for a while!

She looked Wan Qingyan up and down with sharp eyes, and seeing that he was exhausted, she immediately understood that Wan Qingyan had returned from outside on business. It seemed that even though she did not report the matter of Cui Mansion, Wan Qingyan had seen it with his own eyes!

"Shi Ming, you did a great job today. You really understood my point. Have you put all the confiscated silver into the warehouse? How much silver is there?"

Wan Qingyan lifted the veil and hat on her head, smiled slightly, raised her hand and patted Shi Ming's shoulder affectionately, her eyes full of respect and satisfaction for her!

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. This is what I should do. The silver and banknotes seized from the Cui Mansion add up to more than two million taels!

There are also some precious jewelry, antiques, and paintings. I can't estimate the exact amount, but all these gold and silver treasures have been put into the warehouse!"

After hearing Wan Qingyan's praise, Shi Ming couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart, with smiles in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Although she was ecstatic in her heart, she still maintained a respectful attitude and reported the situation to Wan Qingyan seriously!

"Shi Ming, I have one more thing to make clear to you. The Empress wants us to rush back to the capital to report on our work as soon as possible. Once we return to the capital, you must not rashly come to my residence without my order!

And show your loyalty to me. We have to pretend that we are not familiar with each other. I want you to hide in the Imperial City Department and work hard to rise up and take control of the position of defense within the city. Of course, I will provide you with assistance when necessary. Can you do it? "

Wan Qingyan curled up the corner of his mouth into a slight smile, and at the same time waved towards Shi Ming, motioning her to come closer, sit next to him, and give her new instructions!

This city defense position is very important. If a rebellion really breaks out, if this position is occupied by one of our own people, the resistance will be much smaller. Therefore, this city defense position must be occupied by one of our own people!

Shi Ming was secretly shocked when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that this matter was of great importance and could not afford any negligence. However, she nodded without hesitation and said, "Your Highness, rest assured. I will do my best to fulfill my mission!"

Wan Qingyan was very satisfied with Shi Ming's answer, and patted her shoulder with a smile again!

"Your Highness, Lord Shi, please have some tea!"
