Chapter 428 No One Can Leave

Sixth Prince's Mansion

It was already dark, and the Sixth Prince, who had been tired all day, was preparing to have a drink. Today's moonlight was pleasant and perfect for drinking under the moon.

Unexpectedly, the man in black who suddenly broke in was quite good at kung fu, but he didn't know which idiot sent him. He was just about to tell the secret guards to show no mercy. As for why he came to his house, he didn't want to know at all and had no interest in knowing. He knew that since the person had come, he didn't have to leave.

"Your Highness, I'm here to seek your help on the orders of Lord Ye." The agile secret guard dodged the opponent's attack, knelt on one knee, and raised the token representing Shu Xiaoxiao's identity.

Fearing that he would delay Lord Ye's important matter, he barged in directly. Who knew that the Sixth Prince would be so ruthless without asking any questions, and would not even torture him? He must reveal his identity first next time, otherwise it would be so unfair if he was accidentally injured!

"Junior brother, you're looking for me. What happened?" The Sixth Prince wondered.

"My Lord asked you to gather all the troops to surround the brothel?"

"Flower House?"

The Sixth Prince was a little confused. No, why would they go to the brothel? Could it be that some brothel was openly trafficking in human beings, forcing women into prostitution, or colluding with human traffickers to kidnap people?

But that shouldn’t be the case. How long has it been since Junior Brother’s influence disappeared?

"Your Highness, the Marquis said that this matter concerns the rise and fall of our Daning, and asked you to act quickly." Seeing that the Sixth Prince seemed a little unconvinced, the secret guard added carefully.

The Sixth Prince immediately tensed his face and asked, "Are you sure Junior Brother said this?"

"Yes!"

Hearing the secret guard's affirmative tone, the Sixth Prince did not bother to ask anything. He knew something about his junior brother's abilities. Since his junior brother said so, there must be a reason.

He immediately stood up and shouted, "Come here, mobilize all the people in the palace, as well as the Five Cities Army and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and notify them all to rush to Pipa Lane immediately."

"Yes."

Suddenly, the entire Sixth Prince's Mansion became busy, and a large number of guards followed the Sixth Prince away, which attracted a lot of attention even in the dark night.

As for Yun Qinghan, he originally heard Shu Xiaoxiao strolling around, but before he was ready to meet her, he heard that she had already arrived at the brothel. He could no longer sit still, and without caring about his dripping hair, he was ready to go out immediately.

He believed in his junior brother. Besides, his junior brother would definitely not like the rouge and powder in the brothel. He went there just because he missed his junior brother, so he went to see him.

Well, don’t they say that when you don’t see each other for a day, it feels like a long time?

This is how he feels now!

As a result, just as he arrived at the door, before he went out, he saw the secret guards beside Shu Xiaoxiao. They had gone out for a while, and he had some impression of the secret guards beside his junior brother. But he had never seen anyone use the secret guards as guards. I guess these secret guards were quite helpless.

After hearing the secret guard's words, Yun Qinghan did not hesitate at all and immediately led his men to Pipa Lane. If he met people from the patrol camp on the way, he would take them there directly. If junior brother wanted more people, then he would bring more people. If not enough, he could just transfer more.

As for Shu Tingyu, who was still worried about his sister, he did not dare to delay at all after hearing the secret guard's words, and immediately rushed over with his men. Thinking that the number of people his sister mentioned must be large, he took a detour on the way and brought the people from the city patrolling censor over as well.

The three teams were so powerful and magnificent. They were so aggressive. What had happened?

This scene attracted a lot of attention. Those who were timid immediately retracted their heads and hid at home for fear of being implicated. Those who were braver watched carefully from behind and waited from a distance, wanting to see which family was so unlucky or which master was caught embezzling.

Such a large scene attracted not only the attention of the common people, but also many ministers who discovered it and almost immediately sent people to follow. Although there were many people, there was almost no sound, but this made it even more frightening.

With so many people, each of them strong and majestic, if it happened during the day, it would probably cause chaos, although the current movement is not careful.

The three met halfway, nodded to each other, and tacitly led their men to quietly surround the entire Pipa Lane. Xiaoxiao/sister/junior brother said that they had to surround everyone, so they couldn't let any of them go.

The person who was secretly following nodded in sudden realization, "Yes, it's Pipa Lane! Then I can see how lively it is! I really want to go in and take a look."

Lai Chun Building

The fight was over. Both sides exchanged a few harsh words and were about to leave. Shu Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Third brother, guard the door. No one can leave."

Hearing the sound, Shu Tingfei immediately stood guard in front of the gate, and the expressions of others also changed.

"Ye Xiao, what do you mean? No one can leave. I don't know when you have such great power."

"Yes, why don't you let us leave?"

"Does being a marquis make you so great? Our family is not bad either, and we won't tolerate you bullying us like this."

"We don't know when this Lichun Tower is under the control of Lord Ye. Even if Lord Ye wants to show off his power, he can't do it to us."

..............

Many people began to feel dissatisfied, some began to rush out the door, and some looked unhappy and waited for Shu Xiaoxiao to explain to them. After all, they were just visiting a brothel under the feet of the emperor and had not committed any crime. Not to mention that it was just a marquis, even if the prince wanted to trap them here, he had to give them a reasonable explanation.

If they just do nothing and just follow whatever Shu Xiaoxiao says, then they will have no future. Since Shu Xiaoxiao said this today, they must give them a satisfactory answer.

Although Lichunlou was not very famous before, it has attracted many customers since the appearance of Fushou Cream. At this moment, there are a few people with good status. Although they did not make a fuss, they also walked up to Shu Xiaoxiao and obviously wanted an explanation.

Tang Haoyan, who brought her here, came over carefully and asked in confusion, "Ye Xiao, what's wrong with you? Your third brother didn't suffer any loss in this fight, so you can fight, but it's a bit exaggerated for you to not let anyone leave. We don't need to offend people like this!"

“If it really doesn’t work, you can find a chance to beat him up later. It’s a bit too much to stop him from leaving.” Tang Haoyan advised with a frown.

Tang Haoyan is the youngest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Since he was a child, he has been going wherever there is excitement. He has no other hobbies but to watch the excitement. However, because he keeps his mouth shut, he can watch the excitement but never talk nonsense, so he has a good relationship with people.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at his innocent baby face and said seriously, "I don't let them leave for their own good. Otherwise, if things continue like this, they will soon be ruined."

Shu Xiaoxiao thought about the harm that opium did to the human body, and how many people's families and countries were ruined because of opium. She also thought about the origin of the "Sick Man of East Asia". They paid too much for opium and drugs. As a member of the Flower Growing Family, everyone has the responsibility to fight against opium. This is neither a responsibility nor an obligation, but a persistence engraved in the bones of all the Flower Growing Family who know that history.

These things can appear anywhere, but they cannot appear in any place in China. Once they are found, they must be destroyed.

Thinking of that humiliating history and the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the fight against drugs, Shu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red involuntarily, and she said seriously: "I can forgive you for killing people and setting fires, but not this time. I will never let that thing spread in our Daning. Not to mention you, all the civil and military officials of the court are here. As long as they have anything to do with that thing, no one can leave this gate with me here."

Tang Haoyan looked at Shu Xiaoxiao's serious expression, which seemed like she was taking an oath, and was a little shocked. He murmured, "What...what the hell?"

The petite and delicate young man had a bit of ambition between his eyebrows. Although he was so fragile, he was so firm when he spoke. The slightly red circles under his eyes not only did not weaken her tone, but made it more sonorous and powerful, making people inexplicably feel that no matter whether it was a civil official, a general or the emperor standing in front of her, they could not make her retreat.

She seemed to hate the thing in her mouth to the extreme and was determined to destroy it at all costs. Tang Haoyan inexplicably felt that he could not say anything to persuade her, or perhaps he should not persuade her.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the stalemate below and replied, "I want to find out who has touched this thing that can make life worse than death, and then find a way to save you. Otherwise, you will die without knowing how."

Tang Haoyan:..............

I had an inexplicable feeling that I, no, everyone was in danger, a bit like shouting 'Help'!

Seeing Shu Xiaoxiao's expression and not wanting to pretend, and the fact that his father and grandfather at home were full of praise for Ye Xiao, Tang Haoyan not only calmed himself down, but also persuaded his good friends to stay. After all, judging from Ye Xiao's appearance, his condition should be quite serious, and there was no need for them to be the first to take action.

They also felt like they were in danger. What's more important is that they didn't know what danger they were facing, so they could only wait for Shu Xiaoxiao to answer their questions.

The people he persuaded, apart from other things, were all people who could get along well with him and had similar personalities. After listening to him, they were also prepared to wait and see what would happen.

Seeing that Shu Xiaoxiao was serious about this, many people panicked. After all, Lord Ye was well-known for doing things unconventionally.

Most people would quietly investigate when they discover a problem, and would only take action when they have solid evidence, but Shu Xiaoxiao likes to take people with her and go directly to the scene to find evidence.

Fortunately, he has Shu Tingyu and the Sixth Prince to support him, so he is quite sensible in doing things and at least he won't make enemies for no reason.

Now that they knew they might have been poisoned, they all behaved themselves. After all, they had heard of Shu Xiaoxiao's medical skills, and since it concerned their own lives, they had to be extremely rigorous.

Even the few people who had just fought with Shu Tingfei hid aside obediently, ready to leave after the matter was resolved.

It was at this time that everyone realized that Mother Li was missing, and they shouted, "Where is Mother Li? If we are poisoned here, she must be involved. Where is she?"

The girls and thugs in the building also discovered that Mother Li was missing, and they started looking for her everywhere. Mother Li was their backbone. Now that Mother Li was gone and everyone in the building was under control, they didn't know what to do.

Shu Xiaoxiao didn't care: "She's fainted upstairs, what's wrong? Who wants something from her?"

"Of course there is something wrong. We are poisoned here, so we must find her to clarify. I wonder what Lord Ye meant by knocking Mother Li unconscious? Is there really something wrong with Mother Li, or does Lord Ye have some other purpose?"

"Heh!" Shu Xiaoxiao snorted.

"Don't judge me by your petty mind. If it weren't for the serious matter, I wouldn't bother to bother with you."

"Then Lord Ye can't let us stay here forever. When will you let us leave?" someone asked loudly.

Shu Xiaoxiao stared at the door closely. When she heard the plants' reactions, she knew that her senior brothers had arrived.

Ever since she discovered the opium in the brothel, she has opened up her ability to communicate with plants. Now ninety percent of the people in the brothel are here for the opium. It has been two or three months, and many people have been trapped. If they are let go, does she have to look for them one by one?

It is not easy to just lock people up here, and according to the plants around, most of the opium smokers are still in the brothel, so the big guys are still here. Now that the people here have been dealt with, there shouldn't be any trouble from other places.

When Yun Qinghan came in, he saw his junior brother with red eyes, and his face immediately turned cold. He was tall and imposing, and his cold face made people even more frightened.

Those who were originally making a lot of noise now dared not even breathe.

Yun Qinghan thought of the message from the secret guard before, and with a wave of his hand, he led his men to surround Lichunyuan tightly.

He walked to Shu Xiaoxiao, looked at her slightly red eyes, and the relaxed look when she saw him, and felt so distressed that he touched her head carefully and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did I bully you?"

The person next to him who was too frightened to breathe:..............

Can't you tell who is bullying whom? This is simply a lie, but they dare not refute Yun Qinghan!

(┬┬﹏┬┬)3

Seeing the people coming, Shu Xiaoxiao also breathed a sigh of relief. With so many people, she really couldn't keep things under control for a long time by herself.

Shaking his head, "No one is bullying me. It's something else. Are my eldest brother and senior brother here?"

Yun Qinghan clenched his fists, resisted the urge to hold the person in his arms, and nodded: "They are all here, they should be here soon."

Shu Xiaoxiao immediately pulled the people away: "It's good that you are here. Keep an eye on these people. I will tell you what's going on."

Everyone in the room fell silent since Yun Qinghan came in. Now seeing Shu Xiaoxiao dragging people away, no one dared to say a word, let alone resist.

After all, although Shu Xiaoxiao and Yun Qinghan went out, the people brought by Yun Qinghan were staring at them covetously. Even though they were unwilling to accept it, they could only watch them go out.

The Sixth Prince and Shu Tingyu had also arrived outside. Pipa Lane had been controlled by them, but there were still many people inside. Those who could visit the brothel had a certain social status. Although they also took them seriously, they had to have a suitable reason. Otherwise, if they surrounded Pipa Lane without any reason, the imperial censor's memorial would overwhelm them tomorrow.

The fact that they could arrive so quickly only showed how much they valued Shu Xiaoxiao. Shu Xiaoxiao naturally appreciated it and told him all his discoveries.
