The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Ye Buhuo nodded lightly and interrupted Hu Linxiao who kept repeating how innocent he was.

"Take me to see the woman's previous residence."

Hearing this, Hu Linxiao gave a look to the shaman who had been standing behind him with his head down and without saying anything, signaling him to lead the way. He continued to smile apologetically and followed half a step behind Ye Buhuo.

The shaman led the way in front with his head down silently. Hu Linxiao's residence was not big. Even though the house where Luo Xue had lived was at the deepest part, it took them less than a moment to arrive.

When they arrived at the place, the shaman lowered his head and stepped aside silently.

Hu Linxiao personally went forward and opened the door. Before Ye Buhuo stepped into the room, he glanced at the shaman out of the corner of his eye and then entered the house.

Hu Linxiao knew that since Ye Buhuo came here to look for clues, he would search the room after all.

He tactfully led Ye Buhuo and the other man into the room and then left.

"I will be waiting outside the house. If you two have anything to ask, please let me know."

When there were only two people in the room, they started checking the house without hesitation.

It is called a residence, but in fact it is the place where Luo Xue is imprisoned.

Hu Linxiao's goal was the jade pendant. Although he said that he wanted to marry Luo Xue, he didn't put any thought into this matter at all.

The furnishings in the house were also extremely simple. Apart from the furniture for living, there were some worthless gadgets, and there were not many places to hide things.

Hua Wu Ke fumbled around on the bed, shook his head and said:

"Nothing."

Ye Buhuo also said:

"I don't think that woman would leave clues here after she left."

As soon as the two of them left the room, Hu Linxiao came up to them immediately.

He really wanted to know if Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke had found any clues inside, but he didn't dare to stare at Ye Buhuo, so he stared at Hua Wuke with his pupils wide open, and asked nervously:

"Did the prince and this girl find anything?"

There was nothing to hide in this matter, Hua Wu Ke shook his head truthfully.

Although Hu Linxiao cooperated with Ye Buhuo on the surface, deep down he didn't want Ye Buhuo to find anything related to the Northern Country's spies here.

Otherwise it will be difficult for me to get rid of the responsibility!

It would be best if Ye Buhuo had no evidence to prove that the woman was an actress from the Northern Country, so that he wouldn't have to worry about being implicated.

It’s really best that no clues have been found now.

Hu Linxiao heaved a sigh of relief, thinking it would go unnoticed, but Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke saw it all.

Ye Buhuo glanced at him and said coldly:

"Why, Lord Hu seems to be very happy that I didn't find any clues?"

Hu Linxiao's half-relaxed breath was blocked in his chest. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

He smiled guiltily:

"Your Highness has misunderstood me. I would never dare to have such an idea."

"I was hoping that the prince would catch this spy as soon as possible so that the actress could return my money! She used a fake jade pendant to cheat me and spent a lot of money on me!"

Hu Linxiao originally just wanted to distance himself from the matter, but the more he spoke, the more he felt that he had been cheated of his money, and he completely forgot that he was the one who kidnapped the person by force.

Hua Wu Ke couldn't help but despise him silently in his heart. This Hu Lin Xiao was really shameless and only cared about money.

Not wanting to listen to Hu Linxiao's evil ways, the two quickly left Hu Linxiao's residence and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Hua Wu Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"Hu Linxiao is really too shameless. From what I see from his expression, he doesn't want us to find any clues at all."

At this point, Hua Wu Ke paused, and then she said as if she had suddenly woken up:

"Do you think Hu Linxiao may have hidden everything, so we can't find anything?"

Ye Buhuo shook his head:

"Hu Linxiao doesn't have the courage."

Then he mentioned another person:

"Do you still remember the butler?"

Hua Wu Ke was stunned by the question. She asked in surprise:

"Butler? Hu Linxiao's butler is here today?"

Ye Buhuo nodded and reminded Hua Wuke that the person who had been silent the whole time, except for walking in front when leading the way, and always standing silently by the side with his head down, was Hu Linxiao's butler.

Hua Wu Ke is a little strange:

"That person kept his head down the whole time, and he never raised his head even when he was leading the way."

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered this person's existence. I didn't expect that he was actually the butler."

The status of a butler in a wealthy family is very high, and they usually have some dignity, not as inconspicuous as the one today. Moreover, the butler's service has special specifications, and people who are familiar with it can see it at a glance.

But today, that person: for some reason, was wearing some gray clothes.

Lian Ye Buhuo almost didn't notice him.

If Ye Buhuo had not seen the manager's token of Hu Linxiao's caravan hanging around his waist when he was leading the way, even Ye Buhuo would have thought that this man was just an ordinary servant who led the way.

At this moment, Hua Wu Ke felt something indescribable strange in his heart:

"If he is a butler, he shouldn't have such a low sense of presence. But he didn't even make a sound from beginning to end."

Before the two of them set out for Hu Linxiao's residence today, they specially sent someone to deliver a letter to Hu Linxiao, so Hu Linxiao was waiting at the gate of the mansion early.

As a butler, even though he knew that a distinguished guest was coming to visit his house, he still came out to meet the distinguished guest wearing a gray suit.

Thinking of this, Hua Wu Ke felt that this person was more and more suspicious.

"There's something wrong with this person."

Ye Buhuo nodded in agreement with Hua Wuke's idea:

"Perhaps the woman was able to disappear from the mansion because of this person's secret assistance."

Hua Wu Ke pursed her lips for a few times, then curled them slightly, and said:

"Otherwise..."

Ye Buhuo raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened to Hua Wuke's words.

With admiration for Hua Wu Ke in his eyes, he smiled faintly and said, "This method is feasible. Let's do as you say."

Ye Buhuo called Zuo Yunqing to the study and handed him a document he had just written.

Zuo Yunqing took it with both hands, opened the document and took a look. Then he frowned in confusion and asked hesitantly:

"Why did the prince suddenly lift the martial law on Anyang City? Are the Northern Kingdom spies still in the city?"

Ye Buhuo said calmly, "Ever since the incident with the Northern Kingdom's spies, the royal merchants from various countries have been stranded in Ye Kingdom because of Anyang City's strict entry and exit ban."

"Now that the Northern Kingdom's spies have disappeared, trapping these imperial merchants in Anyang City for too long will inevitably lead to trouble. Moreover, this ban is only half lifted. Civilians and those with customs documents from the Night Kingdom can enter and exit, but the documents of those Northern Kingdom actors have been invalidated, so they cannot leave."

Zuo Yunqing still felt that something was wrong, but when he looked at Ye Buhuo, he suddenly guessed that as the city lord, Ye Buhuo must have his reasons for doing this.
