After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 440 - 318: I am the Creditor! (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 440: Chapter 318: I am the Creditor! (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Since Yongping was placed under house arrest, Xu family’s dozens of guards were all replaced with Xu Yin’s own men.
This morning, before entering the palace, he had naturally made the necessary arrangements ahead of time. Besides the dozen or so people visible, the rest were hidden nearby.
Now, part of them went with Lian Rong, leaving about forty people, but moving such a large group was too conspicuous. So, along the way, he divided them into three batches, two went to scout the city gates’ situation, and the remaining batch followed by his side, reducing the presence to just over ten people, significantly lowering their visibility.
The incident under the city gates made him anxious.
According to their original plan, He Qunying should have been waiting twenty miles away by now! They intended to escort him to Cangzhou, then take the water route south.
When he reached the south, Zhou Yi would come to meet him, then he would assume a new identity and head north.
But now, the plan was ruined!
Everything was messed up by Pei Zhan and his group!
He Qunying could no longer be relied on.
The situation was more serious than he imagined. He thought as long as he was fast enough, everything would go as he expected, just like every previous time.
Pei Zhan released false news that Prince Rong and his son had successfully poisoned themselves, complicating things a lot, and making the next steps unpredictable.
Of course, what surprised him even more was, unbeknownst to him, they had gathered so much evidence and clues!
Since when was he no longer the one who orchestrated and controlled everything from a distance?
And since when did he go from having full control to being pushed step by step?
Since meeting Liang Ning, all these years in Great Zhou, he believed he had hidden flawlessly, as he had nothing that connected him to Dayue other than the blood flowing in his veins!
He had never been to Dayue, definitely didn’t have an outland accent!
His writing was extremely beautiful in Central Plains script, well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, which couldn’t be accomplished without a solid foundation!
He also had the perfect family background, the Xu family in Tanzhou, having entered the government through imperial examinations, being in office, and multiple verifications of his ancestry revealed no flaws.
So, how on earth did Pei Zhan and Fu Zhen become suspicious of him?
Why did they fixate on him?
"Master!"
The guard sent out returned gasping for breath: "All three other city gates are the same, they’ve been guarded by people from the General Mansion!
"And now the city gates are closed, no one is allowed to pass, we have no way of breaking through the gates!"
Having no way of breaking through the gates implies there’s no way to escape, right?
Xu Yin looked ahead and found himself unknowingly arrived at Yanzi Square.
From the alley he was in, he could see the corner tower on the corner of the Liang Family’s back garden.
And following the alley on the right of the corner tower, he would reach his former residence — the very residence that Liang Ning bought for him to live in while in the capital.
He said, "To Guizi Alley."
Guizi Alley was where that residence was located.
The carriage started moving forward again, passing by the entrance of the Liang Family. He lifted the curtain, gazed at the stone pillar inscribed with the words "Taiping Mansion" for a moment, then withdrew his gaze as the carriage entered Baiyu Lane.
In recent years, he spent a lot of time visiting the Liang Family, and he often admired this stone pillar. But none of those times was as vivid as now, recalling when he followed Liang Ning back to the capital and first came to the Liang Family, where Liang Ning proudly introduced the origin of the words on the pillar.
She was fifteen at that time, and there was already a scar on her face, but thank heavens, the scar did not touch her eyes.
So even though her face was no longer smooth, her pair of eyes, bright as stars, still captivated people.
In all fairness, she wasn’t considered a great beauty; her features were delicate and harmonious, but she was so full of energy, her life so vibrant and passionate that the light in her eyes offset all her ordinariness.
Almost seven years have passed.
He almost forgot the face marked by a knife scar.
But those eyes, he remembered clearly.
The wheels of the carriage rolled over the cobblestones of the alley.
More than six years ago, Yang Zhan killed the Emperor’s eldest son Yang Yi here.
Thus, Liang Ning was dragged into the affair.
Subsequently, he too got pulled in.
