Chapter 360 The appearance of weapons in the secret chamber panicked the Second Prince.
Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Luoxi with concern after hearing her words.
"Are you all alright?!" Just from Lin Luoxi's description, you can tell how dangerous the situation was.
"It's nothing." Lin Luoxi shook her head confidently.
"Something's wrong. My wife's wrist was almost chopped off by the Netherworld Wolves..." Xie Hanchuan exaggerated.
"Really? Should we call a doctor?" Hearing Xie Hanchuan's words, Xiao Jingchen stood up with great concern, wanting to examine the wound himself.
"It's alright, Xiao Jingchen. I'm a doctor myself, I've already bandaged it up." Lin Luoxi raised her wrist, which Xie Hanchuan had wrapped up like a dumpling, and then rolled her eyes at Xie Hanchuan.
"Oh, it's good that you're alright..." Upon learning that Lin Luoxi had been bandaged up, Xiao Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief again and immediately summoned Ji Feng and the others in.
He gave instructions one by one, and told Ji Feng to follow him and take his men to the Netherworld Palace.
"Xiao Jingchen, let's go back first. My parents are still waiting for us."
"As for the Second Prince, we've already presented the evidence to you. You absolutely must give us an explanation..."
The worst fear is that Xiao Jingchen will be too soft-hearted and fail to bring down the Second Prince; in that case, the Lin family will be the first to suffer.
The city guard saw her when she entered the city today.
If the Second Prince investigates thoroughly, he will definitely find her.
She wasn't afraid of the Second Prince, but rather that she might lose control and personally go to his residence.
"Okay, listen to my good news..." Xiao Jingchen also wanted to thank Lin Luoxi for bringing him such great news, helping him eliminate another opponent.
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan left the palace first, hiding in the shadows, watching Xiao Jingchen lead his men, including the impartial and incorruptible Lord Zhu Hui of the Dali Temple and his subordinates, all the way to the Netherworld Palace.
She and Xie Hanchuan flew to the Netherworld Palace as fast as they could from the rooftop.
When the two arrived at the Netherworld Palace, all the corpses and blood had been cleaned up, making it impossible to tell what had happened there.
While marveling at the efficiency of the Second Prince's subordinates, Lin Luoxi walked towards the room with the secret chamber.
When Xiao Jingchen led everyone into the courtyard, Lin Luoxi pulled Xie Hanchuan back into the secret room and threw all the weapons out of the space.
"Brother Hanchuan, hug me..." In order to prevent Xiao Jingchen from discovering that they were there, Lin Luoxi wanted to continue knocking Xie Hanchuan unconscious.
"Wife, why don't you just give me a needle prick?" It's more dignified to prick my acupoints than to knock me unconscious.
"Alright!" Before the words were even finished, the silver needles had already been inserted into Xie Hanchuan's sleep acupoint.
Seeing Xie Hanchuan fall, Lin Luoxi caught him, and the two entered the space together.
"Master, there really are a lot of weapons here." Ji Feng reported to Xiao Jingchen with a look of shock and surprise upon seeing the secret room full of them.
“Lord Zhu, look…” Xiao Jingchen and Zhu Hui entered the room together and saw that the open secret room was full of weapons.
"Men, move all these things back to the Dali Temple. Tomorrow, no, I'm going to the palace right now..." Zhu Hui ordered his servants with a serious expression as he saw the weapons and began moving the things.
"Lord Zhu, it's not too late for us to watch it move here before going to the palace to tell the Emperor..." Xiao Jingchen was afraid that his second brother would come and obstruct the process, and the evidence he had obtained would be lost.
"Alright, what the Ninth Prince says is true!" Zhu Hui nodded in agreement and immediately told the servants to hurry up and move the things.
It's estimated that the commotion here was so loud that it attracted many people who hadn't slept yet to gather at the door to watch the excitement.
Of course, it also attracted the attention of the second prince, who had returned.
"Ninth Prince, what are you doing here so late at night?" The Second Prince, unaware that Xiao Jingchen already knew his true colors, asked, pretending to be oblivious.
"We received a tip that this is the lair of the infamous Netherworld Palace, and that there seems to have been a murder here today, with blood flowing like a river. Lord Zhu and I came to take a look..."
Xiao Jingchen looked at the Second Prince and readily offered a lie, answering the Second Prince's question very seriously.
Zhu Hui, who had seen Xiao Jingchen hand him the evidence, simply stood by and nodded as the Ninth Prince and the Second Prince put on an act.
"That can't be possible. Under the emperor's nose, how could the people of the Netherworld Palace be so bold as to establish their base here..."
"Besides, you said there was just a battle here, but it doesn't look like it to me."
The Second Prince, who had searched the area thoroughly but found no clues, spoke calmly to Xiao Jingchen.
Because he was confident that Xiao Jingchen wouldn't find anything here.
But just as the thought crossed his mind, he saw the officials of the Court of Judicial Review carrying out box after box of weapons.
The second prince took a step back in shock, his pupils widening, completely unable to believe that what he was seeing was real.
He searched here for so long and didn't find any weapons hidden here, how come Old Nine found them as soon as he came...
Oh no, he's doomed.
Thinking this, the second prince was so frightened that he could barely stand. If someone hadn't been supporting him from behind, he would have collapsed to the ground, powerless.
"Second brother, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface..." Xiao Jingchen did not miss the Second Prince's actions.
Seeing the Second Prince looking like the sky had fallen, Xiao Jingchen found it amusing and couldn't help but gloat, his words becoming sarcastic and mocking.
"Master, we found a lot of ledgers inside."
Whether Ji Feng did it on purpose or not, seeing that the Second Prince had collapsed to the point of needing someone to help him up, he made a special trip out to report to Xiao Jingchen.
“Really, Lord Zhu, come on, let’s go take a look…” Xiao Jingchen saw his second brother’s pale face out of the corner of his eye, and his smile deepened. He pulled Lord Zhu into the room.
Seeing Xiao Jingchen walk inside, the Second Prince, who had been looking lost, suddenly turned fierce and gave a wink to his confidant.
As expected of the Second Prince's confidant, he understood immediately from just one look from the Second Prince.
Quietly, they all slipped away from the crowd, hoping to do what the Second Prince had instructed them to do when no one was looking.
Lei Ming, who was hiding in the shadows, saw the Second Prince's trusted confidant leave and immediately followed.
"Fire! Fire!"
Xiao Jingchen and Lord Zhu were doing something in their room, and they hadn't come out for a long time, even when a raging fire broke out in their room.
"Hmph, you two think you're so capable? Once we burn you inside, no one will know what's inside..."
The Second Prince saw that the fire had extinguished the entire room, and Xiao Jingchen and Lord Zhu had not yet come out.
He thought his subordinates had knocked someone unconscious or beaten them to death inside, and a smug smile spread across his face.
