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

The housekeeper looked at his pale lips and was about to ask something when Lord Ning lost control of the wooden box and it fell to the ground with a clang.

When the butler saw a finger bone lying on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He also saw the scars on the finger bones.

"Yes Yes......"

His lips trembled, and he choked on the words "Young Master", but couldn't utter them.

The eldest master of his family has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and was planning to take the martial arts examination in the future. Now that the fingers on his right hand are broken, he will be disabled in the future!

The butler's voice was hoarse, "Master, has the young master encountered bandits? Then the lady and the old lady..."

Lord Ning's eyes were bloodshot and he clenched his fists tightly.

Although it was the prince who did it, his entire family was in the prince's hands. He had no choice but to compromise.

It would be fine if the prince could succeed, but if not...

He hesitated. On the other side, Lu Xuan took advantage of the night to sneak into the vicinity of the West City Villa to investigate.

He hid in the dark, carefully observing the movements around the villa.

After several turns, I suddenly saw a heavily guarded villa with patrol teams passing by from time to time, and everyone had a serious and vigilant look on their face.

I think it should be here.

He ordered Lu San and others to go to another place to create some noise to attract the target, and he took the opportunity to jump over the wall.

At this time, in the underground secret room in the villa, Mei San warned the guards, "We must guard it strictly and not allow any mistakes!"

"Subordinates take orders."

To ensure that nothing could go wrong, he specially ordered someone to add another door to the underground secret room today.

There is only one exit in the secret room, so they can't escape now!

After he finished explaining, he went to the villa next door.

Many people here were tied up with ropes and thrown on the ground, their mouths sealed with cloth strips, their eyes wide open with madness in them.

"Sir, seven more people died today."

These are the people who have almost become possessed by demons after not taking the magic powder. Mei San looked at them with a frown on his face.

Without the magic powder, these people will probably die within seven days.

"Think of a way to knock them out and just hold out for a few more days."

Seven days later was the annual palace banquet, and the prince planned to start the rebellion on that day.

In fact, the emperor could have been slowly consumed to death using the elixir, and the prince could have legitimately ascended the throne. But now that the matter of the magic powder has been exposed, even if the emperor does not kill the prince, he will definitely imprison him in the clan office.

Things have come to this point, if I don’t succeed, I will die!

He gave the steward a few more instructions and then left.

Lu Xuan waited until his figure disappeared from the mansion, then quietly approached the room he had just left.

Looking inside through the crack in the window, I saw a dozen young men tied up and thrown on the ground. Their eyes were bulging, veins on their foreheads were bulging, their eyes were staring like evil spirits, and strange "ho ho" sounds came out of their mouths.

One of them had his hand wrapped in gauze and blood seeping out.

Looking at that man, Lu Xuan's breathing stagnated.

Lord Ning’s eldest son——Ning Lanting!

Why is his son here?

Looking at the expressions of the people in the room, they seem to be like those officials who have not taken the magic medicine for many days.

Lu Xuan wanted to go in and investigate, but suddenly a group of people came and he turned over and jumped onto the beam.

Lord Ning's son is here, so I guess his family should also be in this villa.

After confirming that the person was here, Lu Xuan lurked in other rooms in the yard to check.

The two villas were packed with people. After walking around, I saw many familiar faces.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he left quietly after confirming.

At midnight, the Third Prince's mansion was brightly lit, and Zhao Zhong reported to him the news he had found out from the Crown Prince.

"Today, people from the Zhenguo Mansion went to the West Garden to investigate. They already knew that the Crown Prince had held the families of court officials hostage."

"Did they go to Lord Ning's residence?"

The third prince asked without raising his head as he flipped through the case at hand.

All this was within his expectations, and he even sent people to lure away the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Already gone."

Zhao Zhong sincerely admired his master. Every step of his plan was perfect.

However, he looked worried, "Master, the people in the Zhenguo Mansion seem to have known that we had captured Miss Lu. These days, many people have been watching us."

"No problem." The Third Prince said indifferently: "Have someone keep a close eye on me. I am still useful to the Lu family."

It's normal to suspect him since they can't find anyone from the prince's side.

He would be surprised if they couldn't guess it.

"Is Doctor Hu available?"

"Not yet. Doctor Hu is very stubborn."

The Third Prince frowned. "Increase the severity of the punishment and make him spit out something useful. If he still doesn't know what to do, threaten him with his grandson's life!"

He didn't want to do this, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

Zhao Zhong took the order and left.

On the other side, the prince looked at Shen Nian with a gloomy expression.

"Your Highness, there is no more silver in the treasury, and silver is needed everywhere..."

"All the silver is gone?"

"Gone."

"If you don't have it, steal or rob!"

The prince's words made Shen Nian stunned. It took him a long time to react to what he meant. "Rob?"

"Don't you understand?" The prince stared at him sternly, "Do you still need me to teach you personally?"

Shen Nian was horrified. He didn't dare to look into the prince's gloomy eyes and quickly lowered his head. "Yes, I'll do it right away."

He walked out of the study quickly, his heart still beating wildly.

The prince actually asked him to rob...

A strong feeling of discomfort welled up in his heart.

The struggle for the throne has always resulted in countless deaths, but that was a fight among the royal family. If it was a case of plunder, then what was the difference between them and the bandits hated by the world?

Mei San came from the other end of the corridor, saw him walking slowly and absent-mindedly, and walked towards him.

"What happened?"

Shen Nian hesitated to speak, but finally told the prince what he had said.

"The prince asked you to rob?"

Mei San pursed his lips and finally said, "You can find a few rich people who are unkind. This way, it can be regarded as acting in the name of justice."

It can also solve the urgent problem at the moment.

Although Shen Nian was very reluctant, he had no choice but to do it.

He gathered a group of his men, picked out a merchant named Jia, and sneaked into the mansion quietly in the dark of night.

When the maids and servants who were on night watch saw them, they screamed in fear.

"Ah!! Someone, there's an assassin!"

This action woke up the people who were sleeping soundly, and all of a sudden, the lights in all the rooms lit up.

Shen Nian was dressed in black and had a black scarf covering his face.

The merchant surnamed Jia looked at them, his two thick legs trembling constantly, "Here under the feet of the emperor, in the open sky, what are you doing?"

Shen Nian held the sword across his neck and lowered his voice, "Hand over all the silver in your hand, and I will not hurt your life."

"Please spare my life, hero. I will send someone to get it right away."

Money is external to one's body, but life is only one. The cold feeling on his neck made Jia Baocai dare not move.
