The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

However, the prefect of Jingzhao looked calm and even nodded in agreement.

"Master Xu is right. Young Master Zhao has been in Jingzhao Prefecture all day. I'm afraid he has something else to do."

"Let's go and take a look at what Mr. Zhao wants to do."

……

Since Zhao Xiaozhi had no achievements yet, he still saluted respectfully when facing the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Please help me, sir. I have lost something important in the theft in my residence."

The prefect of Jingzhao was truly stunned. He never expected that this Master Zhao came here because his house was robbed.

"Oh? I wonder what was lost in Mr. Zhao's house?"

Zhao Xiaozhi hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a thousand-year-old snow lotus."

As Zhao Xiaozhi finished speaking, the entire court fell silent.

Everyone looked at Zhao Xiaozhi with shock in their eyes. They never thought that such a small Zhao family would have such a treasure.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhao has any evidence to prove that this thousand-year-old snow lotus is..."

Before the Jingzhao prefect could finish his words, Zhao Xiaozhi interrupted him.

"Sir, the Millennium Snow Lotus is an extremely precious plant, so I will not show it to others easily."

When the prefect of Jingzhao heard this, he realized that what he had just said about the evidence was somewhat inappropriate.

After all, Zhao Xiaozhi came to report to the authorities, not to prove whether he possessed the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

But Zhao Xiaozhi was still a wise man and did not get carried away by the loss of the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

He took out the ten thousand taels of silver notes left by Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan, "This is what those thieves left behind. The thieves left in a hurry, and they left other things in the mansion. But I'm afraid I can't hand this thing over."

"If the other party is sensible and returns the things, I can forgive them. But if they don't return them, don't blame me for being rude."

The prefect of Jingzhao looked at the ten thousand taels of silver presented by the yamen runners and realized that the thief probably had no ill intentions towards the Zhao family.

Zhao Xiaozhi obviously knew about this, so he did not ask them to arrest the person immediately.

After understanding Zhao Xiaozhi's intention, the prefect of Jingzhao did not say anything more. He asked people to put away the ten thousand taels of silver notes and carefully check the people who moved the silver notes.

After watching the prefect of Jingzhao give his instructions, Zhao Xiaozhi left Jingzhao Prefecture.

At the same time, the news was also spread out at the same time. When the Duke of Zhenguo heard about it, he frowned.

But when he thought of his son, he couldn't help but sigh.

Although he felt that Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan's behavior of stealing other people's things was inappropriate, his son's life was hanging by a thread, and this was the only way to get the life-saving Millennium Snow Lotus. How could he blame the two children?

But in order to prevent Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan from being found out by Zhao Xiaozhi, the Duke of Zhenguo immediately ordered his personal guards.

"You go to the Qi family and the Song family, invite Master Qi and Master Song to come to the mansion, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."

The guard responded and withdrew.

An hour later, Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan arrived at the door of Gu's house.

When the two saw each other, they both had some guesses in their minds.

"Brother Qi, I just received news today that the Zhao family has released news that something important has been left behind in the mansion. I wonder if Brother Qi has lost anything recently?"

Qi Zeshen shook his head: "No, I wonder if Brother Song has lost anything?"

"Never."

When they heard each other's answer, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as they don't leave the things in the Zhao family, no matter what means Zhao Xiaozhi uses, they will not take it.

When the Duke of Zhenguo saw the two people coming, he raised his hand and asked the servants in the room to leave.

"Have you heard any news from the Zhao family?"

Qi Zeshen said, "Of course I heard it, but please rest assured, uncle, my nephew did not leave anything at the Zhao family."

Seeing this, Song Zhennan immediately bowed in response.

"My nephew didn't lose anything."

Seeing that both of them answered so affirmatively, the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I was just worried that you might have lost something and someone would come looking for you later."

The Duke of Zhenguo always felt that Gu Nanyuan was his son, and it was his fault that he failed to find the thousand-year-old snow lotus for his son.

As for Qi Zeshen and Song Zhen, they found the thousand-year-old snow lotus and saved his son's life, so he had to protect them both no matter what.

"That's good. I'll feel relieved if there's nothing."

Qi Ze thought deeply for a moment, and suddenly said: "Uncle, I think the news that the thief lost things in the Zhao family is just a cover for the Zhao family."

Song Zhennan also nodded, "That's right. There weren't many people who followed us to the Zhao family that day, and they were all trained people. It's impossible for them to leave the things at the Zhao family."

"But the Zhao family said that something fell where they are. I'm afraid they are trying to lure the snake out of its hole."

"Rather than being passive, we should wait and see what happens so that we don't lose our composure."

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded repeatedly after listening to this, and looked at Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan with increasing satisfaction.

He also knew that they had once been on good terms with Gu Nanyuan, and he couldn't help but feel proud of his son.

It is a blessing for his son to have two such close friends in his life.

"Uncle, we haven't gone to see General Gu yet. Can we go and see him today?"

Although the miracle doctor said that Gu Nanyuan would wake up at night, Gu Nanyuan had been poisoned for several days and they were not sure whether Gu Nanyuan would wake up.

However, since they did not receive any news from the Gu family last night, they knew that Gu Nanyuan had not woken up yet.

But they have great confidence in the miracle doctor's medical skills. That is why they will not make any mistakes when using the thousand-year-old snow lotus as medicine.

As for why Gu Nanyuan hasn't woken up yet, it's probably because of his physical condition and the poisoning incident.

Thinking of their old friend, Song Zhennan and Qi Zeshen became worried again. They could not help but pray silently in their hearts, hoping that Gu Nanyuan would wake up as soon as possible.

When the group arrived at Gu Nanyuan's yard, they saw two maids standing at the door guarding it.

The Duke of Zhenguo couldn't help but frown. He was worried that Lin Ruoxuan would be tired of serving here, so he specially found two capable people to guard here.

But the two of them did not stay in the room, but came here to guard the door, which made the Duke of Zhenguo very confused.

"Why are you here? Aren't we asking you to help Miss Lin?"

The two maids felt bitter when they heard this.

It was one of the braver maids who spoke up.

"Master, Miss Lin felt sorry for us not being able to sleep at night, so she asked us to stay outside."

"It is said that General Gu has not yet woken up. Leaving so many people inside will not be of much use."
