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

He was just worrying about not being able to find where the magic powder came from when this man bumped into him.

"Give it to me quickly...ho ho..."

The man staggered to his feet from the ground and continued to stumble towards Xu Lingyun.

The man was now addicted to drugs, and his steps were unsteady. Xu Lingyun dodged to the side, grabbed his arm and clamped him back.

Originally planning to go see Bai Youyou, Xu Lingyun took her back to Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Liu San, go to Jishidiang and ask a doctor to come over."

Jishidiang was not far from Jingzhao Prefecture. Doctor Li walked in, carrying a medicine box, following Liu San.

Seeing the man screaming in pain on the ground, he was immediately horrified, "Did he take the magic powder?!"

Xu Lingyun raised his chin towards him and said, "Check his pulse first and see if you can calm him down."

Shenxiansan is an extremely dangerous substance. Once you get addicted to it, it is extremely difficult to quit.

With the help of Liu San, Doctor Li grabbed his wrist tightly.

After checking his pulse, he said quickly, "Quickly tie him up with a rope, and I will give him a needle."

Liu San took a rope and tied the man to the chair, and Doctor Li took out a thin silver needle and inserted it into the back of his neck.

"There is no medicine to cure this magic powder. If he can rely on his own willpower to resist it, there is still a chance to break it."

"Let him wake up first. I have something to ask him."

"okay."

Doctor Li's acupuncture speed increased by three times. After an hour, the man finally regained a little consciousness.

He was covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the river.

Xu Lingyun stood in front of him with a frown on his face, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you know what poison you were poisoned by?"

"No, I don't know."

The man shook his head weakly, and the feeling that he longed for so much was growing rapidly in his heart.

He struggled violently and looked at Xu Lingyun pleadingly, "Sir, please give me some silver."

"You can hardly walk now, and you can't buy that thing even if I give you money. Why don't you tell me where you bought it, and I will send someone to buy it for you."

Xu Lingyun deliberately asked questions, but the man believed it. He said impatiently: "In the north, in the north city, looking for Zhu Laosan..."

"What is Zhu Laosan's full name?"

The man looked crazy and made strange noises. Xu Lingyun asked again but he could not get any answers.

He told Doctor Li, "Let's see if we can get him through it first."

After saying this, he hurriedly left Jingzhao Prefecture and went straight to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

This matter involves many people, and he dares not trust anyone in the imperial city. The only person he can trust right now is the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Besides, he didn't even know the names of the people recorded in the booklet. If he found someone on the list, it would definitely alert the enemy.

Lu Chen was about to go out to check on the Baozhu Tower when he saw Xu Lingyun at the door.

He thought Xu Lingyun came to see Youyou on purpose, and said with a smile: "Youyou is in good spirits now, you came at the right time."

"That's good."

Xu Lingyun smiled and said, "It's just that I have something to do with the old lady today. Please help me lead the way."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and walked back, "Master Xu, please."

He took Xu Lingyun to Old Madam Lu's yard.

The old lady was feeding her three chubby goldfish with fish food. She turned her head and saw Xu Lingyun behind her with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Master Xu."

"Old lady."

Xu Lingyun bowed to her.

Lu Chen said, "Grandma, Lord Xu said he has something important to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Momo immediately retreated and asked the maids and servants in the yard to retreat as well.

In the room, Xu Lingyun told everything that happened in Yaochi.

The old lady and Lu Chen were both horrified when they heard this.

Lu Chen took a breath and said, "You mean, the prince used the magic powder to control many ministers in the court?"

"The list was burned by Ding Zhen, and we still don't know how many people have been to Yaochi Villa." Xu Lingyun looked heavy, "Today, I accidentally met a person who took Shenxian Powder, and he told me about a man named Zhu Laosan."

"But I don't dare to send anyone to investigate now, for fear of alerting the enemy." He looked at the old lady, "Old lady, I would like to ask you to send someone to investigate secretly."

The old lady nodded, "Now that I know that the gods are spreading disasters that harm the country and the people, I naturally cannot stand idly by."

"Thank you, madam."

After Xu Lingyun bowed to the old lady again, he took out the half-burned list from his sleeve.

"We'll have to trouble the old lady to send someone to keep an eye on the people on this list."

Lu Chen took the item and looked at the name registered on it. Although the beginning and the end of the name were cut off, he guessed who it was at a glance.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg. We don't even know who those who were burned are."

After Xu Lingyun found this thing, he didn't dare tell anyone for fear that the news would leak out and the prince would be desperate and kill people to silence them.

Lu Chen collected the torn pages of the list, looked at Xu Lingyun and said, "For now, we should quickly find Zhu Laosan."

"Thank you for your help in this matter."

As soon as Xu Lingyun finished speaking, Lu's loud voice came from the courtyard gate.

"Mom, I made peach blossom cake, please try it."

She strode in, and seeing Xu Lingyun, she exclaimed, "Master Xu, you're here too. I just made the peach blossom cake, you can try it too."

She smiled brightly, without any trace of shyness of a woman from a wealthy family.

Xu Lingyun looked at her and smiled, "Then I am in for a treat today."

"Try it now. If you like it, I'll ask Luochuan to send it to you tomorrow."

While everyone was enjoying the delicious food here, over in Qingzhou, Bai Jiacheng, the third son of the Bai family, was sitting on the armchair in the study with an anxious look on his face.

Ever since he found out that Zhuang Wei was not dead, he couldn't sleep or eat.

Lu Zhaorui came over with a food box and asked worriedly, "Husband, you haven't had a good meal for many days. This is the chicken soup I made myself. Drink it while it's hot."

Bai Laosan didn't answer. His eyes fell on Lu Zhaorui's face and he asked tentatively, "Did your father-in-law send you any news?"

"No."

Lu Zhaorui looked puzzled, "Do you have anything to ask father?"

Having slept in the same bed for many years, Bai Laosan knew Lu Zhaorui very well. He could tell at a glance whether she was talking or not.

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

He pursed his lips and pondered.

After a moment, Zhang Qin walked in quickly from outside.

"Sir, the old lady's letter came quickly from eight hundred miles away."

Bai Laosan stood up and grabbed the letter from his hand. After opening it and reading it carefully, his face turned pale and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Husband, is there something wrong at home?"

Seeing his sudden panic, Lu Chaorui asked worriedly.

She went forward to support him, but Bai Laosan came to his senses and quickly put the letter in his hand into his arms.

"I have something important to deal with. You go back first."

When Lu Zhaorui left, Bai Laosan's expression suddenly changed.
