Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

In the middle of the night, King Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping woman in his arms. He got up gently and walked out of the room quietly.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Chuwu waiting outside.

When Chuwu saw King Xuan coming out, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, just as you expected, they really took action."

King Xuan looked gloomy and asked, "Has the person been rescued?"

Chuwu replied, "They have been rescued and placed outside the city, together with the two people we found on Daqing Mountain before."

King Xuan nodded and continued to ask: "Have all the people on Yushi Mountain been captured?"

"Ten were captured, one escaped, and the rest died."

Speaking of this, Chuwu felt a little guilty. He thought it was because of their negligence that the man ran away.

King Xuan frowned and asked, "Who is the one who escaped?"

Chuwu immediately replied: "My name is Ma Laoliu, and I am the chief steward of the mountain."

King Xuan looked a little unhappy, and then said, "He may have gone to the Lin Mansion to tip off the situation."

Chuwu said quickly: "I have sent my brothers to intercept them."

Before he could finish his words, a man in black climbed over the wall from the darkness and reported, "Your Majesty, we caught a middle-aged man with injuries outside the Lin residence."

Upon hearing this, Chuwu became excited, interrupted what the man was about to say, and asked anxiously, "Is the injury on the left shoulder?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes."

After Chuwu got a positive answer, he looked at King Xuan and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, that person should be Ma Laoliu."

King Xuan nodded, then looked at the man in black, "Go on."

"Yes"

"Tonight, a carriage left the city from the back door of the Lin Mansion. Inside the carriage sat a woman and a child about one year old."

After hearing this, Chuwu murmured, "I didn't expect this old fox to be so perceptive. He left a trail for me right away."

King Xuan asked, "Where did that woman go?"

"There is a village fifty miles outside the city called Baili Village. The people who followed them secretly listened outside for a while. They knew that the girl was taken there by Lin Desheng.

Because she had always disobeyed him, she had a hard time in the Lin residence. Even her son was not welcomed by the public. "

King Xuan pondered for a moment, then made a decision: "I understand, I don't need to worry about that woman for now.

Tomorrow morning, Lin Desheng's family, the people involved in the case, and the local county magistrate will be put in jail."

"Yes"

The two turned and left.

King Xuan also returned to his room and lay down, secretly thinking about his next plan.

There are many people and things involved in this case, and it needs to be solved step by step.

At daybreak, King Xuan's trusted guards and palace soldiers had already quietly gathered.

There were almost no pedestrians on the street, only a few rays of morning light occasionally shone through the clouds onto the ground.

The gate of the Lin Mansion was closed and the courtyard was quiet, as if everything was asleep.

King Xuan stood quietly in front of the prefect's house, gazing up at the magnificent official residence, secretly thinking about what would happen next.

Prince, shall we start now?" Chu Ba asked in a low voice, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"When you are ready, start now. We must bring him to justice today."

King Xuan's eyes were firm and cold.

He waved his hand and the team began to approach Lin Zhizhou's house.

King Xuan looked at Chuba, who understood and walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the carved door.

A few seconds later, the door slowly opened and a doorman dressed as a servant stuck his head out. He opened his mouth in horror when he saw a group of soldiers outside.

"Who are you? This is an official residence, you are not allowed to trespass!"

There was uneasiness in the concierge's voice.

King Xuan waved his hand and said coldly: "We are here to arrest Lin Zhizhou, get out of my way!"

The concierge stepped back in a panic.

He wanted to run in to report, but was held down by a palace soldier.

King Xuan took the lead and walked in. The hall of the Lin Mansion was luxuriously decorated and filled with a wide variety of antiques and valuable calligraphy and paintings.

King Xuan glanced at it casually, then pointed at a maid who was cleaning and said, "Take us to find Lin Zhizhou."

The little maid responded tremblingly and led them through several corridors, finally arriving at the door of Lin Desheng's room.

He waved his hand, and several guards quickly broke in.

In the room, Lin Desheng had just woken up from his sleep. He saw King Xuan rushing in with a team of personal guards, and his face showed horror.

He hurriedly stood up and dressed, trying to steady his voice in panic: "King Xuan, what do you mean? Why did you break into my house?"

A hint of coldness flashed in King Xuan's eyes, and he said coldly: "Lin Desheng, you have committed numerous crimes, including corruption, bribery, and killing innocent people.

You and your family will now be arrested and thrown into prison."

Lin Zhizhou's face changed, and a trace of panic rose in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said: "You are making this up. I am an official appointed by the court.

Even if you are a prince, without evidence it is a false accusation."

"Whether it is a false accusation or not is not up to you and me to argue. The court will make the final decision." King Xuan waved to the people behind him, signaling them to start searching.

"What are you doing? How outrageous! How outrageous!" Lin Zhizhou was in a panic, secretly thinking about how to get out of this situation.

But it was too late. Chuba and others quickly rushed into the house and searched everywhere. Soon they found a secret compartment.

"Found it! Your Majesty, come and see!" Chuba shouted excitedly.

"Lin Zhizhou, do you have anything else to say?" King Xuan turned around with a hint of disdain on his face.

This was not the end yet. Chuwu also came in with two people carrying a large box.

"Your Highness, these were found in the study."

When King Xuan took a look, he found that it was full of silver bills and jewelry.

"I..." Lin Zhizhou's face turned pale, and he finally showed a panic expression, knowing that he could no longer escape.

King Xuan no longer paid attention to his excuses and turned to the palace soldiers behind him: "Take all of Lin Desheng's family away, search the mansion carefully, and make sure nothing is left out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The palace soldiers took their men away.

At this time, in the backyard of the Lin Mansion.

The people brought by King Xuan were searching in full swing, and every corner of the Lin Mansion was being carefully searched.

Mrs. Lin and her concubines were being dragged at this moment, and the sounds of panic and crying filled the entire backyard.

Mrs. Lin and the two Miss Lin were surrounded by several palace soldiers.

They were dressed in haphazard clothes, their hair was disheveled, their faces were pale, their hands hung limply at their sides, and their eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.

The concubine Zhao Yue'er was held tightly by a palace soldier, her hair was disheveled and her dress was torn to pieces. She looked at the chaotic situation around her in horror.

She was still holding a delicate porcelain bottle tightly in her hand, as if trying to cover up something.

King Xuan walked into the backyard, his eyes swept across the messy scene with indifference, and finally fixed on Zhao Yue'er.

There was a hint of authority in his deep voice: "Bring that vase over here."

"Yes." The guard at the side responded immediately and quickly stepped forward to snatch the vase that Zhao Yue'er was holding tightly in her hand.

King Xuan took the vase, looked at it carefully, then turned the vase upside down and shook it gently.

In an instant, the contents of the vase fell out and formed a small pile on the ground.

They were all precious jewelry, a thick stack of silver bills and some crystal clear jade.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Lin Desheng would be so generous to you." King Xuan said with a sneer.

Zhao Yue'er's face was pale, and she managed to remain calm, but her voice couldn't hide her trembling: "Your Highness... I... I don't understand, this is all my own private money."

As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Wuwuwu~~~ Why are you treating us like this? We are just innocent family members!"

Her crying was full of helplessness and sorrow.

King Xuan watched her performance quietly, with no expression on his face, only his cold eyes revealing ruthlessness.

"I don't know whether they are all innocent or not, but you are definitely not innocent."

His tone was grim and firm.

"Come on, take them all away."

At King Xuan's command, the palace soldiers behind him immediately took action, moving forward mercilessly, ready to take out the women gathered in the yard.

For a moment, the yard was filled with all kinds of exclamations, pleas for mercy, and cursing.

The whole scene was in chaos, people's emotions were out of control, and there were cries and shouts one after another.

"Your Majesty, please let me go! I don't know anything!"

"Your Majesty, I was kidnapped by his son. Please let me go back!"

"Ahhh~~Let me go, don't touch me, take your hand away."

"Let my daughter go and we will leave on our own."

Mrs. Lin stepped forward to protect her two daughters and pulled them out.

The calmest person here was Madam Lin, she seemed to have known this day would come.

Her expression was calm, and she even bowed to King Xuan as she passed by him.
