By the time all the black-clad guards came back, it was completely dark.

The leader asked the black-clad guards what they had learned.

The black-clad guards were in an unfamiliar place and did not dare to be too deliberate. They could only ask here and there, but still could not get any useful information.

"I know which cell they were held in. I'll go to the government office tomorrow to find out the situation and then start rescuing them."

The black-clad guard standing at the back came out and said, "I heard that it was the prince who arrested the military advisor and Lord Zhong."

The leader was worried, because the prince held a high position. If they went to the yamen to kidnap the man and leave the city as quickly as possible, the yamen runners would not be able to catch up with them at all.

It would be different if the prince got involved. He has an army and his soldiers can catch up with them quickly.

Going to the prison to rescue someone, we have to be cautious: "Let's not rescue him first, go and find out about the prince's situation, who is in his family, where he lives, and what his interpersonal network is like?"

The Black Guards started moving out again.

The prince was very famous in the capital, and his affairs were soon discovered clearly.

What the leader didn't expect was that the prince's private life was so clean. He only married a princess and a deceased concubine.

He could only start from the Prince's family. He learned that the Prince's wife had a bad relationship with her half-sister and her current life was quite miserable.

With a cold smile on his face, he could use the Princess's sister to cause trouble.

After finding out everything, the black-clad guards and the leader stopped wandering around to avoid arousing suspicion.

Settled down in Tan Shaocong's yard.

the next day.

The leader left alone to find He Shuzhen.

At this time, He Shuzhen was struggling not to go to the countryside: "If you want to go back, go back. I won't go with you to the countryside."

Liu Chen felt that his dignity as a man was challenged: "You've already married me, so you have to go wherever I go. Have you ever seen a couple living apart?"

He Shuzhen was determined not to go to the countryside: "Even if we live separately, I don't want to go back to the countryside with you."

When he got married, Chen Lerong helped her prepare a lot of dowry, and she lived in the capital so that she could support herself.

Liu Chen no longer indulged He Shuzhen: "If you don't follow me back to the countryside, we will get divorced."

"And..." He Shuzhen, who was blinded by anger, realized that if she divorced Liu Chen, she would not only become a laughing stock in the capital, but would also be too embarrassed to go out.

The word divorce came to her lips, but she held it back and softened her attitude: "I really can't adapt to life in the countryside, and you can't stay in the countryside forever."

He Shuzhen was wrong in saying this. He could no longer continue to be an official, and his family had no background. He was destined not to stay in the capital, and he would probably stay in the countryside for the rest of his life. "Whether you follow me or not is up to you."

Chen Lerong's eldest daughter's temper also came up: "I'm not going back anyway." After saying that, she ignored Liu Chen and sulked alone in the yard.

The courtyard of the Liu Mansion is very small, unlike the He Mansion, where she can walk around as she pleases.

After staying in this small world for a long time, I felt inexplicably depressed: "Xiaoyu, go out for a walk with me."

The master and servant left the Liu Mansion.

He was seen by the leader who was guarding outside and followed the two men.

Xiaoyu noticed something, turned around, and saw the leader who had followed them all the way.

His heart skipped a beat. They had encountered a bad guy. He anxiously pulled He Shuzhen's sleeve and said, "Madam, that man has been following us."

There were many people on the street, and He Shuzhen thought the man following them was going the same way as them: "Don't think too much, we'll separate at the intersection ahead."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu calmed herself down and secretly observed the man following them as she walked.

When they reached the fork in the road, the man who followed them still did not leave, which scared Xiaoyu a lot.

He pulled He Shuzhen's sleeve again and said, "Madam, that man still hasn't left. He has been following us."

He Shuzhen also began to become alert, but she was not afraid at all on the busy street.

She angrily walked up to the man and asked, "Why are you following us?"

"I have something to do with you."

He Shuzhen was surprised: "You know me."

"I don't know him," the leader replied expressionlessly.

"We don't even know each other. What can you want from me?" He Shuzhen asked impatiently.

"If I don't know you, I can't ask you for help." The leader stopped talking and dragged He Shuzhen to the alley next to him: "Help me rescue someone from the cell."

"You really think highly of me. I'm just a girl who grew up in the backyard of a mansion. How could I have the power to help you rescue someone from the prison?" He Shuzhen said self-deprecatingly.

"You can't, but your sister, the Princess, can."

When this was mentioned, He Shuzhen's face became even more sarcastic: "She and I are half sisters, and we have never had a good relationship since we were young. Why do you think she will help me?"

The black guard only found out about the family relationship of the prince, but could not find out about their internal situation: "No matter how bad the relationship is, there is still blood relationship. If you ask her for help, she should help you."

"That's impossible. It's good enough that she didn't do anything behind my back."

The leader sighed deeply. The world of women was difficult for him to understand.

In order to get He Shuzhen to help him save people, he had to use a special method. He took out a pill of poison from his pocket and stuffed it into He Shuzhen's mouth.

Lifting her jaw, he forced her to swallow.

He Shuzhen kept coughing, trying to spit out the medicine she had swallowed, but she failed after trying for a long time.

He asked loudly, "What did you give me to eat?"

"It is poison, but it is a chronic poison. It will not kill you in a short period of time. Just do as I say. I will give you a pill every few days to give you relief until you have finished your business with me. Then I will give you the antidote."

He Shuzhen was about to collapse: "You are really too despicable. You use such a despicable method to threaten me. Instead of drugging me to threaten me, you might as well go directly to He Shulan and threaten her to help you."

The leader had thought about it, but the cost of offending the princess was too high. After thinking about it, he felt it was too troublesome: "These are not things you can interfere with."

"It's useless to force me to find He Shulan. We don't have a good relationship and she won't help me." He Shuzhen told the leader in front of her truthfully.

I hope he can let her go.

"This is your business. I don't care what method you use, just get it done for me. If you can't do it, I won't give you the antidote."

He Shuzhen was furious: "You are forcing me to do something difficult. The relationship between her and I cannot be broken with just a few words."
