Chapter 1351: Captured (3)

“No, I just gambled. Fortunately, I won.”
Ye Lang looked at Su Xiaoxiao sympathetically. “Miss Cheng, why did you bet with my young master? He has never lost.”
Su Xiaoxiao felt aggrieved. “50,000 taels of gold. Who can stand it!”
Xie Jinnian smiled gently. “It’s time to reel in the net.”
“Are you sure you searched carefully?”
In the study, Xiahou Qing asked the two elders solemnly.
Elder Liu said, “City Lord, the two of us even stirred up the latrine pit. We really didn’t find anything? Could it be that Second Grandfather moved the dragon crystal? It’s no longer in his courtyard?”
Elder Zhao said, “Only by keeping such an important thing by one’s side can one be at ease. In my opinion, Second Granduncle might never have a fourth dragon crystal.”
Elder Liu said, “You mean… Second Young Master lied and slandered Second Granduncle?”
Elder Zhao said, “Even if it’s not him, it might be his subordinate. Why don’t we capture him and torture him!”
Elder Liu said, “That’s not appropriate… I think the most likely possibility is that Second Grandfather hid the dragon crystal in another corner of the City Lord Manor. I remember that the Five Poison Sect has very powerful hounds and is best at finding things.”
Xiahou Qing frowned. “Lock down the City Lord Manor immediately. Don’t let even a fly out! In addition, please go to the Five Poison Sect and borrow the hound.”
At this moment, Steward Chang ran over in a panic. “City Lord, a puppet has gone crazy! It injured many guards!”
Xiahou Qing said, “Between the two elders, have one stay behind.”
“Elder Zhao, you can leave first. I’ll catch up later.”
“There’s no need. I’ll go alone.”
Elder Zhao left the City Lord Manor.
Elder Liu subdued the crazy puppet and said suspiciously to the City Lord, “City Lord, I keep feeling that Elder Zhao is strange today. It’s as if he has to leave the City Lord Manor.”
“Do you suspect…”
“When we were searching just now, there was a room. He said that he had searched it and told me that there was no need to search anymore and asked us search the next one.”
“Could it be that… the dragon crystal is with him? Elder Liu, quickly stop him! Get the dragon crystal back!”
“Yes!”
Elder Liu sat in the carriage leaving the residence.
The curtain was lowered and he revealed a cold smile.
“Elder Zhao, I’m sorry. You won’t be able to return today.
The dragon crystal had also been “transferred” to the Hundred Flowers Palace by you. Everything was a “conspiracy” between the Hundred Flowers Palace and Second Young Master.”
“Take a shortcut to the Five Poison Sect.”
He, together with the entire Five Poison Sect, would deal with Elder Zhao!
Elder Liu closed his eyes in satisfaction and smiled leisurely.
The coachman seemed to be drunk today. The carriage was swaying. Elder Liu berated,
“Do you know how to drive a carriage? Who do you want to jolt me to death?”
… .
About an hour later, Elder Liu suddenly woke up from his sleep!
He had actually fallen asleep just now.
It was all the Hundred Flowers Palace’s fault. He had drunk such strong wine and still had a headache.
The carriage had been parked for a while.
He asked lazily, “Are we here?”
The coachman was silent.
Elder Liu jumped out of the carriage.
However, when he took a look, he was instantly dumbfounded.
This was not the Five Poison Sect, but the Hundred Flowers Palace!
He turned around and left!
He immediately met the cold-faced Xie Jinnian.
His heart trembled, and he subconsciously bent down to touch his right calf.
“Looking for this?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s smiling voice appeared behind him.
He turned around and looked at the entrance of the Hundred Flower Palace. He saw Su Xiaoxiao holding a dragon crystal in her right hand and looking at him with a smile.
Beside her stood the indifferent Ling Yun.
“You…”
He was speechless for a moment.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “You want to ask me how I got it? It’s simple. I drugged the dragon crystal. As long as you touch it, you’ll be drugged.”
It turned out that he had fallen asleep in the carriage because of this.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Are you starting to think of an excuse? For example, you didn’t know and Elder Zhao placed it on you. But the dragon crystal is so heavy. You’ll feel it if it’s on you, right?”
Elder Liu pinched his fingers. “Your Hundred Flowers Palace framed me! You drugged me and tied the dragon crystal to me!”
“No, the coachman is the City Lord himself. The dragon crystal was found by the City Lord himself!”
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the coachman took off the human skin mask on his face.
Who else could it be but Xiahou Qing?
