Chapter 56 Returning to the Palace
Shaoyao ran to the door of the gambling house. Sure enough, there were many people at the door, including official officials.

Only one person was heard saying: "Master, break down the door. I'm afraid those two ladies may be dead."

Shaoyao recognized that he was a gambler from the gambling house before, and he actually reported it to the official.

She glanced gratefully, quickly found their carriage, and urged the driver to hurry up.

When he came to the entrance of the alley, he picked up Feng Yunqing and the carriage sped away.

All the way back to An Guo Gong's Mansion, Feng Yunqing returned to her house and asked Shaoyao to go to Weiyuan Bo's Mansion to tell the old lady that she had returned to An Guo Gong's Mansion.

Shaoyao nodded. It would be safe for Madam to return to Duke Anguo's mansion, so she left the mansion immediately.

Feng Yunqing, on the other hand, was sitting in her room, unable to calm down for a long time and feeling unreal.

Now that she thinks about it, if she did something impulsive today, then the owner of the gambling house will definitely come to settle the score with her, or even kill her.

But it's very exciting. This is the craziest time in my past life, but I feel that this is my own nature. Whatever I want to do depends on my own heart. There is no need to compromise and be free and easy.

Feng Yunqing was excited, a little scared, but even more refreshed.

After she calmed down, she took out the box containing the ledger. The reason why she cruelly collected all the gold and silver was not because of a sudden excitement, but because she saw the contents of the ledger.

Feng Yunqing took out the banknotes and land deeds and put them aside, looking at the account book first.

This account book must be her life-saving talisman.

Feng Yunqing opened the first page of the account book. The account book recorded some running accounts, the origin of the gold and silver, and all of the gold and silver were obtained through unfair means.

For example, for the first time, on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, I 'won' 1000 taels of silver from someone.

The second amount and the third amount are all made using the same method.

The fourth stroke, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, a certain person, a shop on a certain street in Nancheng, and so on.

In the tenth payment, there was a flow of silver, and someone took away 1 taels on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year...

The thick book is filled with accounts like this, which is shocking to read.

The origin and destination of every piece of money is clear at a glance. Although it is impossible to tell who is doing this in this account, absolutely no one dares to claim this account book.

Where this money went, a large amount of it flowed to the palace. Just a quick check will tell you exactly where the money went.

One of them, Feng Yunqing knew, went to Concubine Lan, the mother-in-law of the fourth prince, and it was recorded that the silver was taken away by Nanny Zhu.

This Aunt Zhu is Concubine Lan's steward. She came to the mansion in her previous life and it was said that she met Aunt Zhang when she came to the palace, so she knew her.

Therefore, this account book probably belongs to the fourth prince, which means that he is the owner behind the gambling house.

If it was really him, Feng Yunqing didn't feel any guilt at all. She had spent a lot of money over the years, and at most she could get her money back at a high profit.

Also, she wasn't afraid that the fourth prince would come to her door, and neither was he. This account book could threaten him.

Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that she took the account book and will come here to verify the stolen account book.

In this way, she and the fourth prince would be in a fight to the death.

But even if this incident hadn't happened, neither mother nor son would let her go. Wasn't the Queen Mother's birthday banquet prepared for her?

She is not afraid. They have all died once anyway, so there is nothing to be afraid of. She is worried about Xiaobao. They will definitely attack Xiaobao again and use Xiaobao to threaten her.

Brother Zhao Yong and Lady Yue were still a little weak in protecting Xiaobao. Before the Fourth Prince found her, they took the opportunity to bring back all the people in the house outside.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunqing immediately asked the palace guard Wei Feng to take the people.

Feng Yunqing asked for their opinions on the servants he bought who were good at handling things, but they were not willing to change their names, so they used their original names.

Wei Feng left the house immediately.After returning to the house, Feng Yunqing closed the door and entered the space. Today's medicinal powder was almost used, she had to make some more, and some poison in case of emergency.

In the gambling house, the fourth prince Jun Xuanchen stood in the empty warehouse and yelled: "Who did this? Find the person for me and pull out the cramps and bones."

Jun Xuanchen was so angry that he vomited blood. Fortunately, all his gold and silver had been wasted for so many years.

"Master, someone has arrived."

Jun Xuanchen's guard Yuan He came in carrying the unconscious shopkeeper and threw it in front of him.

Jun Xuanchen took a deep breath and said sinisterly: "Wake him up."

"Yes, master."

Yuan He took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and placed it on the shopkeeper's nose and shook it for a few times.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to wake up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw an extremely angry face in front of him.

"Ah? Boss!"

The shopkeeper was shocked.

"Tell me, my prince, what is going on?"

Jun Xuanchen's anger rushed to Tianling Gai, and he pointed at the empty warehouse and asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's memory quickly came back to him. He remembered everything before he fell into coma. He quickly glanced at the empty warehouse, then opened his mouth wide, and passed out again.

Jun Xuanchen kicked the shopkeeper hard: "Wake him up for this prince."

Yuan He went out and brought a basin of water, and poured it over the shopkeeper's head.

"Cough cough cough..."

The shopkeeper woke up again and saw the exposed Jun Xuanchen. He immediately lay down in front of him and kowtowed: "Back to the fourth prince, I really don't know what's going on. Today..."

The shopkeeper trembled and explained in detail what happened in the gambling house today.

Jun Xuanchen felt chills all over after hearing this, and he said to Yuan He, "Hurry up and investigate what happened today, and call the Second Master Chu here."

"Yes, master."

Yuan He left quickly, and soon Chu Yunxiao came in.

Chu Yunxiao had never come in here before. He was always in the study outside. He didn't expect that there was such a big warehouse behind the study.

Seeing Jun Xuanchen's murderous aura and the shopkeeper lying on the ground shivering, he immediately asked: "Cousin, what happened?"

There are rumors outside that two women came to the gambling house today and killed everyone in the gambling house. They won 70 taels of silver, but the gambling house refused to give them. The people drove him away and warned him not to spread rumors.

How could such an astonishing thing be silenced by everyone? It had already spread throughout the capital.

He was also wondering what kind of woman would dare to cause trouble in this gambling house.

"Get out."

When Jun Xuanchen saw Chu Yunxiao coming, he kicked the shopkeeper and told him to get out.

The shopkeeper ran out crawling as if he had been granted amnesty.

Jun Xuanchen took a deep breath and said, "Hurry back home and see what's going on with the Feng family now?"

Based on the shopkeeper's description just now, Jun Xuanchen guessed that one of the women was Feng Yunqing.
