Chapter 607: Arson and Robbery 2

The Crown Prince was given to pleasure, so his gardens were built magnificently, and they were all located in the best areas.

In such locations, those who came and went were all high-ranking officials and nobles.

Even for these high-ranking officials and nobles, it was extremely difficult to purchase a residence in such prime locations where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

Because once such a residence was put on the market, countless people would scramble for it and drive up the price.

The final transaction price would often make one's heart race.

But now, these most magnificent residences built in the best locations were being set ablaze by bright, flickering torches.

The mansions that countless people looked up to were now being mercilessly swallowed by the raging fire, with flames shooting into the sky and black smoke swirling around.

The group of arsonists looked fierce and menacing, their Aura overwhelming, so no one dared to get close, only standing far away and pointing fingers.

"Heavens, isn't this residence His Highness the Crown Prince's? How could anyone dare to set it on fire? And so blatantly? Are they tired of living?"

"You don't know a damn thing! Do you know who the person setting the fire is? That is Your Highness the Prince of Jin. Do you think he would dare?"

"Your Highness the Prince of Jin? How could it be…"

"I heard the Crown Prince owes Your Highness the Prince of Jin three thousand green crystal stones and, unable to repay the debt, he fled. Your Highness the Prince of Jin is using this violent method to find the Crown Prince!"

"So that's it… Your Highness the Prince of Jin is truly worthy of being Your Highness the Prince of Jin, to even think of such a peculiar way to find someone."

"Exactly! Of all people to owe, the Crown Prince had to owe Your Highness the Prince of Jin. Did he think our Your Highness the Prince of Jin was made of clay?"

"Exactly, what's burning these residences? It would be best if he burned down the Crown Princes Residence too!"

Among the common people, the reputation of Your Highness the Prince of Jin had always been illustrious; by comparison, His Highness the Crown Prince was lackluster.

Due to their habitual admiration for Your Highness the Prince of Jin, public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of Nangong Liuyun.

Su Luo, who was hiding in the crowd watching the show, couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly when she heard the discussions of these people.

To have something like robbery and looting praised to such an extent, Nangong Liuyun must be the only one in history, right?

Su Luo was truly puzzled.

Theoretically, Nangong Liuyun had a rebellious, capricious, cruel, and bloody personality; the public should have kept a respectful distance from him, or at the very least, he should be someone who could stop children from crying at night.

However, the facts were exactly the opposite.

No matter how bloody or outrageous Nangong Liuyun's actions were, the world still heaped praise upon him.

In their eyes, everything Your Highness the Prince of Jin did was right, and if there was a mistake, it was absolutely someone else's fault. How did such unparalleled, absolute trust grow? Su Luo was truly extremely curious.

The entire Imperial Capital was in an uproar, so, where was the person involved, His Highness the Crown Prince?

That story began in the early morning hours.

At that time, the Crown Prince was pacing in his room. As he walked, he suddenly remembered that when the Crown Princes Residence was built, a secret passage leading to the Imperial Palace had been constructed in the study.

Except for himself, not even the Emperor knew about this secret passage.

At that moment, the Crown Prince's eyes lit up, and he directly chose to flee.

In his view, Nangong Liuyun was extremely concerned about his Face; if he himself was not there, Nangong Liuyun would not make a big scene, and the matter could just be dropped.

Therefore, he fled without hesitation at that time.

However, what he did not know was that the person who had drawn this hatred towards him was none other than his previously most favored Concubine Meng.

She shouldn't have, she really shouldn't have; this Concubine Meng should not have offended Su Luo.

Nangong Liuyun never held a grudge, because generally, if there was a grudge, he would settle it on the spot.

But if anyone dared to offend his precious Luo Luo, it wouldn't be as simple as just settling a grudge; this grudge would even implicate their relatives.
