After his subordinate's description, Qian Yexun immediately realized that this person was most likely Fu Manduo.

"Let's go!"

"That person might have returned to the mansion. Although we don't know why he came back, this time we can't lose him. This is our chance."

As for Qian Yexun, he personally jumped into the house.

The one who did not want to lag behind was Ban Xia.

Even though the mansion wasn't big, it wasn't small at all.

Qian Yexun gave his woman a hand and eye signal, and the two of them immediately split up and worked together, one on the left and one on the right, beginning to search around the house.

Because he had searched the entire house countless of times that night, Ban Xia could not be more familiar with the place.

A shadow flashed in front of her. She reacted and shouted, "Who! Who's there?" Then, he madly chased after it.

This time, the person in front escaped in a fluster. As he gave chase, Ban Xia realised that the person's skills were not much weaker than his, and in that moment, Ban Xia actually did not have the upper hand. If this carried on, by relying on his familiarity of the house and all sorts of unknown traps, Ban Xia might be able to escape in front of her.

However, she felt a bit unwilling, so she chased after him while shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Men! Thieves! Thieves are here!"

Upon hearing the words' thief ', the body of the person who was in a hurry to escape suddenly stiffened. Who in the world is the thief? Are you sure you aren't mistaken? The woman behind him was really unreasonable!

He was clearly the owner of this mansion, and they were the thieves.

But now, as a thief, it was only right for him to be strong and confident. The owner of the house had become one of the 'thieves' as mentioned by the thieves. It was truly absurd.

He was stunned for a moment before slowing down.

Qian Yexun heard his own woman's shouts. Knowing that something was amiss, he quickly followed the source of the shouts and walked over.

The people who were anxious to escape suddenly stopped.

This was because he'd already noticed that his path forward had been blocked by someone.

Qian Yexun held a long sword in his hand, and directly blocked his path.

Behind him, Ban Xia had already caught up.

One after the other, he was trapped in the middle.

However, to his left was a large lotus pond. If he wanted to escape, he would have to fall into the lotus pond. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing? There was no way to escape to the right.

"Run, why aren't you running anymore?"

When Ban Xia saw this person, she was very angry.

She and Qian Yexun attacked each other from the front and back, and finally caught this person alive.

If it wasn't Fu Manduo who had run away that night, who else could it be?

"Last time, your luck wasn't bad, so you stayed a few days longer. But this time, I don't have such a good temper."

Fu Manduo was once again firmly tied up, becoming a defeated opponent.

He subconsciously tightened his stomach and replied with a sad face, "Forget it, I'm the one who is weaker than others. Since you guys managed to capture me alive, then I'll be considered unlucky." I do not wish to become a monster that is neither male nor female, so I will give you what you all want! "

This time, he probably felt that no matter what, he wouldn't be able to escape from the two people's' Demon Claw ', so he didn't resist anymore.

"Will you let me go once I hand over the item? You won't go back on your word?"

For his own little life, he would fight for it.

"Of course. What do I need your little life for? Your little life is very important to you, but to me, it is worthless. I would not even bother to dirty my own hands." Qian Yexun was determined, "Where's the thing? If you dare to play tricks like last time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I wouldn't dare, I definitely wouldn't dare." Fu Manduo became more honest, "The thing is on me. This time when I came back, I wanted to bring the thing out without anyone noticing. After all, if you knew about this place that night, you would have searched this place sooner or later, so I was worried. I thought it was a simple matter, but I didn't expect you to still be unwilling to give up. Forget it, it's all because of my own carelessness. "

Ban Xia's face revealed joy, she wanted to extend her hand towards Fu Manduo's body, but who knew that a big hand would suddenly reach out and stop her.

The meaning behind his words was that his woman could only touch the body of one man. As for the other men, they were definitely not allowed to, because he wouldn't allow it!

Ban Xia was furious, was this the time to care about not being intimate with men and women?

Furthermore, she had only wanted to go find the thing they were looking for on Fu Manduo's body. She didn't have any ill intentions towards this man.

Thus, a man's jealousy was sometimes very frightening.

They were seriously calculating and were really calculating. There was not a single grain of sand in their eyes.

Qian Yexun personally made a search and found a long small box on Fu Manduo's body.

The appearance of the small box made it look exquisite. Moreover, with just a glance, he could tell that this box came from the palace.

The contents of this box should be what Empress Dowager Zhen told her before her death.

As for what exactly was inside, no one knew. Probably only the late Empress Dowager Zhen would know.

"Have you seen what's inside this box?"

He had already obtained the things that Qian Yexun wanted, and he had even captured Fu Manduo alive. Hence, he was not in a hurry to open the box to check.

Fu Manduo's expression, was sluggish for a moment, then he immediately shook his head, and denied with a shake of his head like a rattle drum, "No, absolutely not opened!"

However, Qian Yexun carefully discovered the hesitation in his expression, which was obviously a sign that he was lying.

There is no wax seal left on the box, proving that this box was opened by someone. Although I do not know if you were the first person to open this box, but when you lied just now, it was too obvious.

Qian Yexun mercilessly exposed Fu Manduo's lies, causing him to feel extremely defeated.

"Hurry up and take a look at what it is. Don't be fooled by this guy again. He has too many tricks up his sleeve!" Ban Xia glared at Fu Manduo fiercely, she did not dare to compliment his character at all.

This time, Qian Yexun no longer hesitated and decisively opened the box in front of Fu Manduo.

His face changed when he saw what was in the box.

"What, what is that thing?"

Ban Xia also went closer, only to see that there was something like a scroll inside the box. Her knowledge and the reaction she had when she saw the scroll were all similar.

But Qian Yexun's identity was different after all. He came from the palace, and his body flowed with the bloodline of the Imperial Family.

He was familiar with the contents of the palace, as well as with other things.

At this moment, even he, who had always been calm and collected, couldn't help but tremble in fear.

Opening it or not, this was a difficult question for him.

"Is there something wrong with this thing? Why do you have such a strange look in your eyes? " Ban Xia was confused, she moved closer, wishing that she could open the scroll and check what was inside.

But then again, even someone as strong and calm as Qian Yexun had such a weird expression when he saw this scroll. There must be something wrong with this thing.

Qian Yexun hesitated for a while before finally deciding to open it himself.

He was very careful. The moment he opened the box and discovered what was inside, he recognized it. It was an imperial edict from the palace.

Those who had never entered the imperial court or come in contact with the imperial edict might not recognize it, but he was extremely familiar with it.

Every time he set off to battle, or returned victorious, he would receive an imperial edict. The number of times he received an imperial edict was about the same as the number of times he entered the palace.

The only thing Empress Dowager Zhen had to protect with all her might was an imperial edict.

However, since Empress Dowager Zhen was the late emperor's woman, then this imperial edict … Qian Yexun suddenly thought of something, and his complexion became even more frigid.

With trembling hands, he unfurled the imperial edict. The first thing he paid attention to was not the contents of the imperial edict, but the place where he placed the Imperial Jade Seal and her signature.

It was indeed the last decree issued by the late emperor, and judging from the time, it was two days before the late emperor passed away.

When he looked at the contents of the will again, he was dumbfounded.

"Just what is so strange about this thing? Show it to me. If you do this, I'll only be more curious." Ban Xia was panicking on the side, she realized that Qian Yexun's expression was turning even weirder. The moment she got angry, she would directly snatch the thing from his hands.

Fu Manduo immediately understood that he was not the only one that was shocked when he saw it.

At the same time, he silently sighed and finally succeeded in throwing the hot mountain away.

It turned out that this time when he returned to the house, he was caught again accidentally, and this was all part of his plan. He could have gone far away, but he had temporarily hidden away, but he didn't, he had purposely appeared in the house, and then been discovered.
