Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 58
Chapter 058 Find The Hiding Place
Suddenly, a “boom” rang out from across the passage. Another stone door was opened, and a figure flashed.
Almost at the same time that the stone door opened, Yin Xun burned Bai Jun behind him and pulled out his sword to block her path. Before the black-clothed man could move, Yin Xun’s sword tip was already on his neck.
Just as the black-clothed man was about to retaliate, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yin Xun’s face and immediately knelt down, “Master!”
So it was the hidden guard.
“Get up,” Yin Xun said, taking back his sword. “Why are you here?”
Before that person could answer, a few more people walked in from outside the stone door. The one leading them was Lu Kang from the blue-clothed paper fan. When he saw Yin Xun, he was also shocked. He then laughed again and said, “I didn’t expect Master to find a clue earlier than us.”
Lu Kang looked at Bai Junzhuo behind Yin Xun and smiled, “Miss Bai is also here.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Kang said, “Why is Miss Bai not dressed properly and her eyes are red? Could it be that someone bullied you?”
Yin Xun turned around and pulled Bai Junzhuo’s collar, which had been cut by a tree branch, inside, blocking her entire body and blocking the line of sight of the people behind her.
When Bai Junzhuo heard this, he didn’t react. Seeing Yin Xun like this again, he noticed that his clothes weren’t tidy.
But why hadn’t he tidied up for him along the way when he was traveling with him just now? !
She instantly felt a little annoyed. She patted the things in her hand on the box. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lu Kang instruct the hidden guards, “Why don’t you go out and find some clothes for Miss Bai? Everyone, go out.”
The hidden guards were puzzled. Why would they need so many people to find a dress? However, they never questioned their superiors’ orders and immediately walked out of the stone door.
Only when they were outside did the hidden guard dare to whisper, “Who was that Miss Bai just now?”
“I don’t know. I only know that Master sent Commander Shen to protect her.”
“Before we entered, there were only Master and that girl in the secret room, and that girl looked like she was being bullied. Could it be that Master gave her …”
“Shh-be careful what you say. Perhaps this is our future princess.”
“That’s right, no wonder Lord Lu sent us away. So it was to protect the princess’ reputation!”
The more the hidden guards chatted, the more they felt that this was the case.
Inside the secret room, Bai Junzhuo sneezed several times in succession. He looked at Yin Xun angrily and scolded, “Hypocrite!”
Yin Xun replied as if nothing had happened, “I dare not.”
Lu Kang shook his fan and observed his master’s reaction. He thought to himself, “Someone in this world actually dares to scold his master, but his master is actually not angry. How strange!”
He smiled and said, “Why does Miss Bai say so about my master? Is it because Master didn’t take off his coat and put it on for you? If Miss Bai really misunderstands Master, Master must think that if you wear too much clothes in summer, you will get sick from the heat. You didn’t intentionally eat Miss Bai’s tofu …”
“Shut up!” Yin Xun turned around and interrupted him coldly.
Lu Kang covered his mouth with a fan and hurriedly nodded.
After a moment of silence, Lu Kang took off his fan and said to Yin Xun, “Master, are you angry? Are you angry with me or Miss Bai? If you are angry with Miss Bai, you really shouldn’t be so angry. Miss Bai must be thinking about serious matters. She didn’t notice that her clothes were torn, so she didn’t intentionally seduce Master like this …”
“Shut up!” Bai Junzhuo glared at him fiercely. Originally, the pure relationship between her and Yin Xun was going to be pitch black from what he said. If it wasn’t for the injury on his foot, he would have rushed over and kicked him!
“Let’s get down to business.” Yin Xun stopped them from continuing to make trouble. He turned to Bai Junzhuo and said, “What are these purple things?”
Bai Junzhuo pursed his lips and snorted. They were all a group of ignorant ancient people who didn’t care about them.
“This is purple quartz. It is mainly used to treat fatigue, palpitations, cough, qi reversal, blood sea deficiency, and infertility. More importantly, it is a necessary ingredient for the preparation of Hanshi Powder.”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and said to Lu Kang, “Open all the other boxes.”
Lu Kang nodded and closed his fan to scan the lock on the box. The lock broke like a knife.
Inside was also a yellow paper bag. Lu Kang took out a bag and showed it to Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo said, “Stone sulfur is also the ingredient for Hanshi Powder.”
Lu Kang opened several boxes one after another. Without exception, they were all medicinal ingredients needed for the Cold Food Powder. When he opened the last box, Bai Jun’s expression darkened as he looked at it. “This box is a prepared Cold Food Powder.”
Lu Kang smiled and said, “It really takes no effort to find a place to break through the iron shoes. Miss Bai is indeed a genius. She found the source of the Cold Food Powder so quickly.”
Bai Junzhuo rolled his eyes, “I’m not helping him find it. I’m looking for it myself to stop this person from doing such a harmful thing.”
Lu Kang praised again, “Miss Bai is a bodhisattva, righteous and awe-inspiring. Really …”
“You’re enough!” Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but interrupt him and said to Yin Xun, “Since we’ve discovered the source, we absolutely can’t let this batch of Cold Food Powder harm us again.”
Yin Xun nodded and said, “Shen Ze should be punished for this crime. We absolutely cannot let him stay in this world and harm others.”
Bai Junzhuo snorted coldly, “Who do you think you are? Even if he is a bad person, you are not qualified to execute him. The first thing you need to do now is to destroy this batch of refined Cold Food Powder. The second thing you need to do is to hand over the evidence to the government to convict Shen Ze.”
Yin Xun said, “Didn’t you say that the government has something to do with this?”
“Yes,” Bai Junzhuo nodded. “But I believe that Lord Cha won’t. Lord Cha is a good official. He will definitely handle this matter properly and eliminate the harm for the people. So we can give the evidence to Lord Cha.”
Seeing Bai Junzhuo approve of Cha Jinzhi so much, Yin Xun felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn’t show the slightest bit. He asked indifferently, “Since he is so good, why aren’t you willing to marry him?”
Lu Kang immediately pinched his nose. “Miss Bai, is the medicine here deteriorating? Why does it smell so sour?”
Bai Junzhuo did not probe into the meaning of it. He wrinkled his nose and sniffed. He was puzzled, “No, why didn’t I smell it?”
Lu Kang was helpless.
Yin Xun’s question was ignored by Bai Junzhuo just like that. He didn’t have the mood to bring it up again. He sighed and said, “Since you’ve decided to do so, let’s leave this matter to Lord Governor. Let’s leave this place first and send someone to inform Lord Tea tomorrow.”
“Don’t panic,” Bai Junzhuo said. “Don’t remember the masked man I told you about? In my opinion, although Shen Ze is skilled in business, he is only at the eighth rank in pharmacology. He can’t think of such a thing as Han Shi San. I suspect that the masked man gave him the prescription. So even if Lord Cha investigates Shen Ze, the masked man will still find the next Shen Ze with the prescription.”
Yin Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at her, “Lord Cha is such a good official. How could he not even find out about this real mastermind behind the scenes?”
“It doesn’t matter if this official is good or bad. Since we’ve already investigated this place, we’ll continue to investigate. It’s all a great virtue that benefits the people. What do you care about? Is there any morality?”
Lu Kang continued, “Since Miss Bai said so, she must have an idea.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, but did not say anything. He raised his head to look at Yin Xun.
Yin Xun was stared at by her for a while and helplessly said, “Tell me, I’ll do it. Otherwise, I’ll lose my moral reputation again.”
Bai Junzhuo curved the corner of his lips and said, “We shouldn’t say anything about this matter first. Let’s pretend that we don’t know, and then we’ll steal a trap to lure the snake out of the cave.”
After she explained the detailed plan, Lu Kang sincerely praised, “This plan is very good. In the future, we will be able to catch this person off guard and kill him!”
Yin Xun also had a faint smile in his eyes.
Bai Junzhuo said, “Now, let’s go out of this place first.”
“Right, right, right, right. We can’t alert anyone. We shouldn’t stay here for long. Master, Miss Bai, please follow me out.” Lu Kang said.
Bai Junzhuo jumped down from the box and was about to fall again with a sprain of his foot. He hurriedly supported the box.
Seeing this, Lu Kang stretched out his hand and said, “Is Miss Bai injured? Let me carry you out.”
Yin Xun expressionlessly pushed his hand away, hugged Bai Junzhuo horizontally, and said to Lu Kang, “No need, just lead the way.”
“Yes.” Lu Kang opened his fan and covered his mouth with a snicker.
The exit of the secret room was a dry well in the backyard of the Shen mansion. The few of them climbed out of the well and directly returned to the Bai mansion.
After Shen Ze separated from the masked man, he and Wang Wenzhong went to the woodshed to force Bai Jun to burn the medicine. However, he found that his servant had fainted at the door of the woodshed. He was so angry that he kicked the servant awake and scolded angrily, “What’s the use? Where is the person who showed you?”
The servant was still a little dizzy. He knelt down and begged for mercy, “Master, please spare my life. Someone rescued Miss Bai …”
Shen Ze raised his foot again to kick the servant, but Wang Wenzhong stopped him and said, “Master, let’s go take a look at that thing, shall we?”
When Shen Ze heard this, he shouted “shit” and turned around to walk towards his own courtyard.
After returning to the courtyard, Shen Ze asked the guard outside, “Did you find anyone suspicious?”
The guards said no.
Shen Ze hurriedly rushed into the study again, lit the lamp, and looked around. He didn’t find any traces of being flipped over in the study, so he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, some dirt fell from above his head. Shen Ze patted his nose and looked up, only to see a hole in the roof.
His expression changed and he said to his subordinate, “Someone, search for me. We absolutely cannot let that woman escape!”
The servants hurriedly left to search. He closed the study door, turned away the inkstone on the desk, and walked in with Wang Wenzhong.
When he reached the innermost part, the chest was still there, and the lock on it was as good as before. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, it seems that although Miss Bai came to the study, she did not discover our secret.” Wang Wenzhong said.
Shen Ze nodded, “Hurry up and get this batch of goods out.”
“Master, don’t be anxious. The supply of this item is insufficient. Two days later, those young masters will pay a higher price.”
“But I always feel uneasy …” Shen Ze hesitated, “Oh right, how is Lord Cha doing?”
“Lord Cha is really a tough nut to crack. Fortunately, we didn’t tell him what we did.” Wang Wenzhong replied.
Shen Ze’s expression turned ugly. “He is a state governor. He must help us with what we do.”
“It’s not necessary,” Wang Wenzhong whispered in Shen Ze’s ear. “We can still do this.”
