Li Mofu knew that if given a little more time, the leader of the guards would definitely favor the man with the jade pendant, but he could hardly make a sound when he opened his mouth!

Just then, a voice came, "Why is it so lively?"

Li Mofu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he lay down on the ground obediently without resisting anymore.

"Your Highness..." The leader of the guards was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly.

Zhao Xu had just rushed over from the port. Although he had set off fireworks to close the city when he was at the port, the people in Jiangnan were unpredictable recently. Who knew whether they would still be willing to oppose the new emperor after the death of the third prince.

The man with the jade pendant saw a flash of disdain in Zhao Xu's eyes, but he hid that disdain perfectly by frowning. He also saluted and called out, "Fourth Prince."

Zhao Xu raised his chin towards the people behind him, and Zuo Zheng asked Mo Yi and the others to release the people.

There was a lot of dirt on Li Mofu's face and hair. Mo Yi and Shiyi pushed the two guards away and helped him up.

The two guards didn't really want to let the man go and wanted to protest, but the leader of the guards stopped them by shaking his head.

"Your Highness, my wife is in the carriage." Shang Jiu said after confirming Wang Ruiyan's presence.

Zuo Zheng frowned somewhat unhappily, and stood beside Zhao Xu, gripping the hilt of his sword.

Zhao Xu did not respond immediately, but raised his hand to signal the leader of the guards to give him the thing. The leader of the guards hesitated for a moment, and the man with the jade pendant quickly glanced at him.

"He must die. Do you want to die with him?" Zhao Xu said softly.

The leader of the guards froze, and quickly handed Zhao Xu the jade pendant that the jade pendant man had shown him.

Zhao Xu looked at the two jade pendants for a while, then sneered, "Someone actually dared to forge your majesty's token. Put him in jail!"

Zhao Xu looked at the guard leader and said, "I think this is just a small thing, captain, you can do it, right?"

"Yes... Your Majesty." The leader of the guards said with his head down.

"Your Highness! I was just bewitched! I was really just bewitched! Please spare my life!" The middle-aged steward suddenly became frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Zhao Xu ignored him and the guards came forward and dragged him away.

The man with the jade pendant did not resist and was taken away by the guards obediently. However, before leaving, he did not forget to look at Li Mofu viciously.

"Take the carriage away and take Madam Lu back home. I still have some things to do." Zhao Xu sighed and put the two jade pendants into his pocket.

"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Yi replied.

After a while, Zhao Xu took Zuo Zheng away in a hurry, as if they had something urgent to do.

Li Mofu rubbed his throat. He was not in a bad mood. After all, this time he had a narrow escape. If one survives a disaster, there will be good fortune in the future.

"Thank you all for your cooperation! This time, I, Li, must give you something to thank you all!" Li Mofu laughed and took out a brocade bag from his pocket. He then pulled out two hundred-silver silver notes and gave them to Da Niu and the strong man. "First of all, I must thank these two heroes!"

Da Niu's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. He accepted the banknote with satisfaction and kept saying that Li Mofu was polite. This is what every honest person should do.

Li Mofu's action of dividing the money attracted a lot of noise from people who were watching, and for a while there were rustling sounds all around.

Mo Yi took a deep breath and began to urge helplessly, "Mr. Li, get in the car."

Li Mofu quickly got into the carriage and shouted out the window, "Good people will be rewarded! Everyone must do more good deeds!"

Amid the rustling of the crowd, Mo Yi drove the carriage that almost took Wang Ruiyan out of the city back to the Zhao Mansion, where Guozi and the old lady were waiting.

"Young Master! I'm so glad that you're okay! We clearly agreed to just look for people separately, how could you act alone?" Guozi almost cried when he saw that Li Mofu was okay.

Li Mofu brushed off the dust on his body and said, "This happened so fast. Didn't I ask that little maid to find you?"
