Chapter 500: Handling The Matter

Ning Yue did not believe this robber’s words. Those who could go up the mountain to be robbers were all rich. How could the gold be distributed like this?

However, Ning Yue did not continue asking. Instead, she changed the question. “Did he tell you how he will give it to you after it’s done?”

“We would meet at the place where we had the first transaction,” the robber said again.

“Oh? Then if you catch him, where are you sending him?” Ning Yue asked again.

The robber thought for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “That person didn’t ask us to send him anywhere. He said that if we caught him, we would bring him home. He would come looking for us.”

Bring him home? Ning Yue almost couldn’t help but laugh. She turned around and looked at Gu Yu’s expression.

Gu Yu was already furious. He felt like an object that could be caught and thrown away casually.

“Who sent you?” Ning Yue said.

Ning Yue’s question was a little too fast for the robbers to react.

The leader of the robbers had just spat out a little when he quickly stopped. “Lian… Even I don’t know who sent us, let alone the others. That person’s face was covered, so we couldn’t see his true face at all. Moreover, he only came to look for me every time. The other brothers haven’t seen him.”

The robber’s explanation was watertight, but this was before he said the first word.

He said Lian Xin’s surname. Although it was very fast and not very loud, Ning Yue heard it clearly.

Ning Yue smiled. It was enough to get an effective answer.

“Baili, escort this group of people to Prince Jin’s Residence,” Ning Yue said.

The reason why she chose Prince Jin’s Residence and not the Marquis of Dingyuan’s Residence was that there must be a special place for people to be locked up in Prince Jin’s Residence. The Marquis of Dingyuan’s Residence did not have one.

Most importantly, if they brought the robbers back to the Ning family, the Ning Family would know what had happened to them. Although they were fine, it would also make them worry.

Originally, she could have sent them directly to Nine Gate, but Ning Yue had a bold guess.

Baili and the others had been fighting with the robbers for so long. Logically speaking, Inspector Nine Gate should have sent someone over long ago, but this street suddenly became very quiet. There was not even a commoner passing by. What did it mean?

Either the subordinates of the Inspector of Nine Gates had everything under their control, and what happened here was unknown to him, or the Inspector of Nine Gates had also rebelled.

In short, no matter what the reason was, this group of robbers could not be handed over to the Inspector of Nine Gates. It was not good to bring them directly into the palace, so Ning Yue thought for a moment and simply asked Baili to escort them to Prince Jin’s Residence.

Baili got someone to tie up the robbers and stuff cloth in their mouths. He also arranged for someone to bring them to Prince Jin’s Residence.

After Jiang Ying received the news, he rushed back to Prince Jin’s residence. He looked at the robbers in the residence with a livid expression.

The people Baili had sent were waiting for Jiang Ying in the Prince Jin’s Residence. They told him everything that had happened.

“Is Ning Yue alright?” Jiang Ying asked.

“Prince, don’t worry. The princess is fine. The princess asked us to bring these people here,” the guard said respectfully.

Hearing that Ning Yue was fine, Jiang Ying heaved a sigh of relief. “Very good. Go back and tell her that I’ll look for her after I’m done with these people.”

When the guard heard this, he left respectfully.

At this moment, Ning Yue and the others had already returned to the Ning family.

“Why are you back so late?” Old Master Ning couldn’t help but ask when he saw Ning Yue.

The three of them reached a consensus not to mention their encounter on the way. They only said that they had met each other on the way and bought some things so they were delayed for a while.

“I see. I thought something had happened to you on the way. If you really encounter anything, don’t think about hiding it from me. Now, our family can be your strongest shield. Don’t be like before, hiding everything and not wanting to tell me anything,” Old Master Ning said.

Ning Yue’s heart was very warm. She said happily to Old Master Ning, “Oh, Grandpa, don’t worry. I ll definitely tell you if anything happens. If I can’t win, I’ll look for you for help.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Old Master Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry.. “Alright!”
