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

Chapter 428: What are you standing there for? Drive all the outsiders out!

The prince fell out with Bai Youyou, and she didn't tolerate him. Her words made the prince's expression suddenly change.

"shut up!"

The prince didn't dare to be accused of treason, so he shouted angrily, "Bai Youyou, you dare to talk nonsense, I will order someone to cut off your tongue right now!"

As soon as Lord Lang came in, he heard their words and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

This little girl dares to say anything, and she is not afraid of angering the prince and causing him to lose his tongue.

He quickly stepped forward to break the tense atmosphere, "Your Highness, please look for me."

"The prison is a restricted place, and you allowed strangers to come and go at will. Do you know your crime for neglecting your duty like this?!"

The prince had no place to vent his anger, and when he saw Lang Zhixing, all his rage burst out.

When the gods fight, the little devils suffer. Lord Lang felt bitter in his heart. He pulled the corners of his mouth dryly and immediately bowed to apologize, "It was my negligence. Please punish me, Your Highness."

The prince didn't really want to make enemies with Lang Zhixing, so he snorted, "Let's just let it go this time, but if it happens again, I won't let you off easily!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lord Lang agreed.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you drive these outsiders out?"

Lord Lang did not expect that the prince would be so disrespectful to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today. He could only look at Bai Youyou with a wry smile, "Miss Bai, please go back."

Imperial power is above everything else. No matter how eloquent Bai Youyou is, this is not a place where you can go anywhere with your reason.

She nodded to Lord Lang and took Xiaoju out of the cell.

Xiaoju glanced back, her heart pounding, "Miss, I was scared to death just now."

Bai Youyou felt heavy-hearted and quickened her pace, "Go back quickly."

The emperor detained Lu Huaizhen in order to have him accuse the Duke of Zhenguo of treason. Now that the prince is so anxious, something must have happened.

When she returned home, Lu San came to report to her that Lu Xuan had found the secret room under Yichun Courtyard.

Bai Youyou suddenly realized, "No wonder the prince is so abnormal today, it turns out it's because of this matter."

Lu San added: "But when the Sixth Young Master went there, the secret room had already been destroyed. The Sixth Young Master said that the person who refined the Immortal Powder must still be in Yichun Courtyard, and he is now trying to find that person."

"It's not easy to find someone in a brothel."

There were many people coming and going in the brothel, including many dignitaries. Even if they wanted to go in and search directly, they did not have the right to do so.

They can't, but there is one person who can.

"Go to Jingzhao Mansion."

Bai Youyou came back and got on a carriage to Jingzhao Yin without even having time to sit down.

Xu Lingyun was busy with his work and was surprised to see her. "Girl, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

"Uncle Xu, I need your help with something."

Xu Lingyun waved away the servant in the room, put down the brush in his hand, and smiled, "Go ahead."

Bai Youyou told the story of Yichunyuan, "Uncle Xu, that person must still be in Yichunyuan. But it is not convenient for us to search Yichunyuan. I want you to take people and search Yichunyuan under the pretext of catching the thief."

"This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. I will go and gather some people right away."

"Uncle Xu, wait."

Xu Lingyun paused and turned to look at her.

"There is a secret room in Yichun Courtyard, which is probably very difficult for ordinary people to find. Why don't I transfer ten people over, have them change into the clothes of yamen servants, and blend in with you to search for it together."

"So good."

Xu Lingyun walked out of the door and asked someone to find Captain Liu and asked him to gather ten people.

The thief was played by Lu Qi, who covered her face with a black scarf and rushed through the crowd. Xu Lingyun and his men followed closely behind her.

Lu Qi had a clear goal. When he saw Yichunyuan, he took a step and jumped lightly onto the roof of Yichunyuan.

"Bang bang bang!"

Captain Liu and his men banged heavily on the gate of Yichunyuan.

It was still daytime, and the gate of Yichun Courtyard was closed. The servant opened the door sleepily and said unhappily, "Girls don't receive guests in broad daylight. Come back later."

Having said that, he pretended to close the door.

Captain Liu pushed hard and the door was pushed open. The servant, who hadn't even opened his eyes, staggered back a few steps before he could steady himself.

He woke up from his nap and saw the official in official uniform. His face changed and he asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"

"A thief has entered your Yichun Courtyard, and we are here to arrest him."

When the servant heard that they were going to arrest someone, he immediately became alert and said, "Sir, there are no thieves here. Are you mistaken?"

"We saw the thief come in here with our own eyes." Captain Liu didn't care about his excuses and waved his hand, "Search!"

The yamen runners rushed in.

There was a sudden uproar in Yichun Courtyard. The madam came in hastily, smiling, "Gentlemen, what is going on?"

Xu Lingyun said with a straight face, "A thief has entered your Yichun Courtyard. I am here to arrest the thief."

"How could a thief enter my Yichun Courtyard? Is your Excellency mistaken?"

The madam's heart suddenly tightened, and the smile on her face became a little stiff.

"I saw it with my own eyes. If it's not here, we'll know after we search it!"

Xu Lingyun didn't want to waste time talking to her. He stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, watching Captain Liu and his men searching for people.

The madam nervously held the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes fixed on the second floor.

She knew that Xu Lingyun was not searching for thieves, but was using this as an excuse to investigate her Yichunyuan.

Fortunately, Old Ghost Liu was locked in a secret room. Apart from him, Yichunyuan was no different from an ordinary brothel.

Thinking of this, her tense back relaxed a little.

"These are all girls, you better be careful, don't scare our girls!"

Lu San searched every room in the house, especially the backyard. Prince Weining had said before that they had conspired with someone here.

Lu San carefully checked every corner, and suddenly, he felt a slightly raised area under a desk in a room.

Pressing hard, the desk on the wall slowly moved to both sides.

Lu San quietly called over a few of his men disguised as yamen runners, and together they went deeper into the secret passage.

The madam had been keeping an eye on them, and when she saw a few of them disappear into the backyard, she felt something was wrong.

She was about to sneak away, but was stopped by Xu Lingyun. "Where do you want to go?"

The madam pretended to be calm and said, "Sir, I just remembered that there are some things in the kitchen that need to be taken care of."

"Whatever it is, wait until I finish searching."

The madam was extremely anxious, but she still had a smile on her face as always, "It's just what you ordered. I'll be right back."

"Stop!" Xu Lingyun glanced at her coldly, "I said, everything will be settled after the search is completed!"

The madam was afraid that he would become suspicious, so she could only smile awkwardly and retreat.

The secret room was very hidden and ordinary people could not find it at all. She didn't believe that a few yamen runners could find it!

In the backyard, Lu San and others walked along the secret passage and heard a faint sound of struggle.

Following the sound, they found a secret room where an old man with messy hair and dirty clothes was imprisoned. He was tied up on a chair.

The old man had been crying out, but when he saw the bailiff he quieted down, with a hint of fear in his pupils.
