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

With such cooperation, could it be that the assassin was really responsible?

Zhao Qingming was suspicious, but when he saw that they were all frank and showed no guilt, he had some guesses in his mind.

How could a little girl bring herself to be killed for no reason? It's just that her great abilities attracted people's attention.

"Go and carry the body to the funeral home and have the coroner perform an autopsy."

In public, everything must be done according to rules and regulations.

Lu Xuan smiled gently, "My cousin was frightened, so I will take her back first."

Zhao Qingming is Zhao Qianqian's father. Bai Youyou bowed to Zhao Qingming before being helped into the carriage by Jiang Momo.

A group of people rode away on horseback. Zhao Qingming looked at their backs and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The little girl remained calm and didn't even frown. She didn't look frightened at all.

The sky was dark and gloomy, and a strong wind rose from the ground.

In the East Palace, when the Crown Prince learned that Marquis Yong'an was killed and none of his men were left alive, he staggered and almost fell.

He held onto the tabletop, his lips trembling as he asked, "What did you just say?"

"Your Highness, the whereabouts of Yong'an Marquis are unknown," Zhu Er's eyes were red, and his voice was slightly choked, "but none of Zhu San and his men survived!"

"Where is that batch of silver?!" The prince's eyes were bloodshot.

Those untouchables died and that’s it; what’s important is that silver!

"The silver was taken away by Marquis Yong'an. As long as we find Marquis Yong'an, we can find the silver. But I guess that Marquis Yong'an is in danger, and the silver may have fallen into the hands of the people in the Zhenguo Mansion."

The prince was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the table and roared, "Waste, all waste!"

He paced back and forth with a vicious look in his eyes.

This batch of silver is of great importance, and he had to take it out in order to fill the hole in Zhen Nifang. But now it has fallen into the hands of Bai Youyou and others!

Everything went wrong. The prince was like a ferocious tiger, with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious face.

"Go, send someone to find Yong'an Hou. No matter what means you use, you must get this money back to me!"

Zhu Er thought of his brother who died tragically, his phoenix eyes were full of hatred, "Your Highness, instead of looking everywhere, why not let the people from the Zhenguo Mansion hand him over directly."

The prince looked up at him, "What do you have in mind?"

"If we take people as hostages, they will surrender!"

Zhu Er's words made the prince narrow his eyes slightly.

His uncle had been lazy and indolent in recent years, and had neglected to practice martial arts, so he had most likely fallen into the hands of the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

As for why the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion wanted to kill him, it must be because they knew about the murder of Lu Wu.

"Bai Youyou's brother is studying at Bailu Academy, you should go and do it quickly!"

On the other side, after Bai Youyou returned home, the cousins ​​and the old lady sat in the hall, looking at the thick stack of silver bills with a face value of ten thousand taels in front of them.

Bai Youyou's eyes darkened slightly, and he was a little confused, "Where did he get this million taels of silver in just a few days?"

"The silver was not kept in his own house, but in Yucheng. This is very suspicious." Lu Xuan also felt that there was something fishy about Ramadan Villa. "I will send a message to my grandfather and ask him to send someone to check Ramadan Villa."

The old lady looked worried. "The prince will not let go of the huge sum of millions. You should be careful when you go out."

“Don’t worry, grandma. We will be careful.”

Bai Youyou tried to comfort her, but she was actually feeling a little uneasy.

Putting herself in the prince's shoes, if she had lost this huge sum of money, she would definitely find ways to get it back.

She has some morals, but the prince has no martial ethics.

Bai Youyou thought of Bai Luochuan who was still studying abroad. Her heart tightened and she quickly told Lu San, "Take someone to the academy now and bring my brother back."

Don't let the prince's men catch them and threaten them.

Lu San took the order and left, however, the prince's men moved faster. When Lu San arrived at the academy, he saw only a mess and Bai Luochuan was nowhere to be seen.

When the news reached the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Bai Youyou clenched his fists and said, "We are still a step too late!"

Lu Xuan also had a stern expression on his face, "Don't worry, cousin. The prince wants the banknotes and will not harm my cousin Luochuan."

It's also their fault for not thinking of this before.

The old lady sighed softly, "Just wait."

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion disdained to accept ill-gotten gains.

Everyone waited for three days, and three days later Zhu Er, who was beside the prince, showed up at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion without any hesitation.

The corners of his lips were raised, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Old Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left some things in your house. Please return them to the original owner."

The old lady looked indifferent, "Things can be returned to their original owners. My grandson has been bothering me for many days. I miss him very much. I wonder when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let him return home?"

Zhu Er sneered, "Madam, the young master in the mansion is safe and sound. When the things are returned, they will be sent back."

Lu Xuan stood up and smiled brightly: "Zhu Er, don't talk nonsense, how can we believe you?"

Zhu Er took out a jade pendant, which was Bai Luochuan's. "If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."

Bai Youyou pursed her lips, feeling extremely anxious, but she knew that she shouldn't be impulsive at this moment.

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "One million taels of silver, but I wonder if the emperor will show me mercy if I hand it over to the national treasury?"

Threat?

Zhu Er raised his eyebrows, "Does the old lady really not care about your grandson's life or death?"

"Of course I care." The old lady said coldly: "Just keep him imprisoned. If he loses even a hair, I will avenge him even if I risk my life!"

Zhu Er's face changed. He didn't expect the old lady to be so tough.

Bai Youyou, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, "Zhu Er, the source of this one million taels of silver is unknown. If this matter gets out of hand, I'm afraid the Crown Prince will be in trouble. Since you dare to come here in person today, you must not be thinking of fighting to the death, so there's no need to test me anymore!"

Zhu Er stared at her intently, and then he suddenly laughed, "I was just joking with you guys just now, please don't blame me, old lady."

The old lady said in a neutral voice, "No need to say more, just hand over the person and the money."

Zhu Er came here today not for the useless Bai Luochuan. He threw the jade pendant towards Bai Youyou.

"Mr. Bai has already taken the person back. You can go to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion to look for him."

Bai Youyou picked up the box containing the banknotes and threw it at his feet. With a "pop" sound, the banknotes scattered all over the ground.

"Just count them, Lifu will not be responsible!"

Zhu Er took a look and knew that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would not touch such silver of unknown origin, so he did not count it on the spot.

He returned to the palace with the silver. The prince looked at the silver bills in the wooden box without any joy on his face.

"Take the things and follow me to find my father."

"Your Highness, this silver is not..."

"Do you really think that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will easily return this money?" The prince gritted his teeth, "If my guess is correct, the third brother must have entered the palace by now!"
