After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

The man in gray took a silver ingot and handed it to an officer guarding the gate. The officer weighed the silver in his hand and said angrily, "Go in, hurry up!"

"Yes Yes......"

The man in gray walked in carrying a bamboo basket, and Bai Youyou stood out from the dark.

She led the horse forward, and the official shouted sternly: "This is a restricted area of ​​the government office, no one is allowed in!"

"Is this the Jingzhao Yin government office?"

Bai Youyou looked at the high stone wall with a frown on her face.

What did Liu Pozi send people to the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture for?

Mrs. Liu!!!

Bai Youyou suddenly remembered something.

Qiao Laosan!

Granny Liu is Aunt Qiao's person. Granny Liu sent people to the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture, obviously to kill people and silence them!

She tightened her grip on the reins and said in a hurry, "Hurry up and stop that man! He's going to kill Qiao Lao San. Stop him now!"

The officer guarding the gate was full of impatience, waving his hands like he was shooing away a fly, "Go away, little girl, where are you from? This is a prison, go home quickly."

"I'm telling the truth, go stop that man before it's too late!"

Bai Youyou was pushed back by him, her expression anxious, "Believe me, my grandfather is the Duke of Zhenguo, and I am the fourth daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion."

"I don't care which family you are from. This is the Jingzhao Yin prison. This is not a place for you to play around. Go away now."

When the bearded official heard that she was the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, although he didn't believe it, his attitude softened a little and he didn't push her anymore.

Bai Youyou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "What I said is true. If you don't go now, it will be too late if something happens later!"

"He's just a sickly person. Stop talking nonsense, little girl. It's getting dark. Go home quickly."

The bearded uncle looked impatient and simply crossed his arms and walked aside, trying not to see it.

Seeing that he didn't believe her and couldn't get in by force, Bai Youyou stamped her feet in anxiety.

The man had been in there for a while. If it had been a little later, he would have succeeded and Aunt Qiao would have gotten away with it.

"Is your Lord Xu here?"

Another official who had been silent looked at her with amusement, "Little girl, our Lord Xu is very busy with official duties, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you."

"Then where is your Lord Xu? I'll go see him."

Bai Youyou had never been to Jingzhao Yin before, and she didn't even know which way the gate of Jingzhao Yin opened. She looked at the man anxiously, "What I said before was true. Even if you don't believe it, Lord Xu will definitely believe what I say."

The official raised his chin and said, "Look, it's already this late. Lord Xu must have left the court and gone back."

The bearded man said in a hoarse voice, "The main gate of Jingzhao Prefecture is to the south. Go find Lord Xu yourself. Stop chattering here. It's giving you a headache!"

Bai Youyou didn't have time to say anything, she immediately stepped on the horse, turned around quickly and ran towards the south.

"Hey, Old Yu, do you think that girl is really the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo?"

As soon as Bai Youyou left, the bearded man stood up straight. He walked to his companions with an interested look on his face.

"It's her. I saw her last year when I went to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion with you to handle a case."

Old Yu coughed dryly, spat to the side, and said gloatingly, "That's the baby born by the darling of the Zhenguo Mansion. You just hit him too hard. If they find out, they will not let you off."

The bearded man's breathing stagnated, "No way? I have already controlled the strength."

"The girl is so delicate, and you look so fierce and ferocious. You might scare the girl."

"I just look like this, what can I do?"

The bearded man touched the back of his head, looking helpless.

"What are you talking about?"

Captain Liu walked out of the prison holding the hilt of the knife hanging at his waist.

"Captain Liu!"

When the two men saw the person coming, they immediately stopped slouching and stood up straight.

Old Yu smiled and asked, "Is the person who just came in the room the one the adults wanted?"

"Yes, that's him. He's been captured."

Old Yu and the bearded man looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Old Yu said, "Just now, the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo said that the man wanted to kill Qiao Lao San to silence him, but we sent him away."

The bearded man glanced away with a guilty look, "She said she wanted to find Lord Xu, so I asked her to go find him herself."

"How did Fourth Miss Bai know this?"

Captain Liu was startled and ran towards the yamen without stopping.

When he arrived at Xu Lingyun's study, panting, Bai Youyou was sitting on a chair, eating a rice cake in her hand.

"Caught?"

"Caught."

Captain Liu replied breathlessly.

"Let's go and have a look."

Xu Lingyun put down the brush in his hand, Bai Youyou quickly finished the rice cake in his hand in a few bites, and stood up from the chair.

When the three men arrived at the cell, a pungent musty smell hit them.

It was the first time that Bai Youyou saw what a prison cell looked like, and she looked around curiously.

It was just as I had imagined, dark and small, surrounded by walls on all sides, with only a tiny window letting in a faint ray of moonlight.

On the wall, there was an oil lamp lit at a short interval.

Xu Lingyun took her inside and stopped in front of a cell.

"Qiao Lao San."

Inside the cell, Qiao Laosan's hands were red and swollen, and he was leaning against the wall like a puddle of mud, his light grey cotton coat covered in blood.

He raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his head woodenly.

"You work for someone who only wants to kill you and silence you. Do you really want to keep your mouth shut for that person?"

Qiao Laosan still kept his head down and said nothing.

Xu Lingyun curled his lips and smiled, "If you don't say anything, others may not be as tight-lipped as you."

Captain Liu pointed to a cell at the back and said, "Sir, that's where the man is."

"Cough, cough, cough—"

As soon as Xu Lingyun approached, Xiao Ye said anxiously: "Sir, I have lung disease. Please stay away from me, or you will get infected."

"Do you have lung disease?"

Lung disease is highly contagious, and Captain Liu was immediately horrified.

Xu Lingyun frowned, "Take him to the outer room and put him in solitary confinement."

"Yes!"

Captain Li took off the key from his waist and opened the cell door. He held his breath, pulled Xiao Ye up from the ground, and quickly took him to the outer room.

"Go back and change your clothes and wash yourself with mugwort."

Xu Lingyun warned Captain Liu and took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose. Bai Youyou also quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth.

Xiao Ye had walked for such a long time and had been hit several times by Constable Liu. He was now exhausted and only had the strength to speak.

"Sir, you are a good official, and I don't want to hinder you from handling the case, but my family is already struggling to make ends meet, and now only my life is worth a little money."

His panting sounded like a bellows. "I deserve to die for doing such a heinous thing."
