C240 The Kidnapped Yu Longyun

Lord Mayor did a thorough search in Duke Ling's Mansion, but there wasn't even a fly in the mansion.

Just as he was feeling anxious, he passed by Yu Longyun's courtyard.

"Master, do you want to search this place?" A yamen runner held the hilt of the sword with one hand and asked Lord Mayor respectfully.

"Whose courtyard is this?" Lord Mayor did not go in immediately.

"Princess Yun's." The yamen runner had done enough homework. He remembered every place he went.

Lord Mayor held his hands behind his back and looked at the round arched door hesitantly. He knew the relationship between Yu Longyun and Yu Longchen. No matter what, she could not have anything to do with this matter. Therefore, he did not intend to search this place.

"Let's go. Since it is Princess Yun's place, there will be no problem." Lord Mayor waved at his subordinate and was about to leave when the sound in the courtyard stopped him.

The group of people remained silent. Lord Mayor took a few steps back and leaned to the side to listen to the movement in the courtyard.

"Bang. Bang!"

This was the sound of wood falling onto the ground. The sound was too loud, and when it came out, it gave a few people a fright.

" Sir? " The yamen runner just now looked at Lord Mayor.

Lord Mayor did not respond. He shook his head slowly. "Wait for a while."

"Bang!"

Another loud sound was heard. Just as Lord Mayor took a step forward, he heard a disgusting sound behind him.

"Master, have you not found the person yet?" The commander put one hand on the sword at his waist and strode over. " If we can't find out. Sir, how can the Prime Minister explain this to the Emperor? Therefore, sometimes, it's better not to be greedy and report the case in a panic."

" Ah. The commander is right. " Lord Mayor's face was filled with coldness, "However, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the joke that the commander wants to see."

After saying that, he brought his men and walked into Yu Longyun's courtyard.

"Ah..." Along with a few rough gasps, Yu Longyun's palace maid stumbled out from inside. As she ran, her body tilted and she fell to the ground.

The palace maid looked up and saw Lord Mayor. She was too lazy to get up and directly knelt on the ground, "Sir, quickly go and take a look, Princess... Princess..."

"What happened to the Princess?" Lord Mayor quickly walked through the small garden and entered to take a look. Only then did he see that the palace maid's head was stained with blood on her collar.

"What happened?" Commander of Praetorian Guard also rushed in. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with people.

The palace maid's face was somewhat pale as she pointed to the room that was only half open. "Prince consort, he... Prince consort, he..."

Lord Mayor did not wait for her to speak and directly walked in. Seeing this, the commander rushed forward to stop him, "No matter what, this place is Princess Yun's place. It would be inappropriate for the lord to enter so rashly."

"Then what does Sir Commander say? Let the people of Praetorian Guard go in first to stabilize the situation before I go in to take a look? !” Lord Mayor raised his head and looked at Commander of Praetorian Guard.

Commander of Praetorian Guard frowned. What he meant was that if he brought his men in first, even if there were any suspicious places, they would be dealt with. He would not be able to find anything if he went in. So it turned out that he knew the purpose of his visit.

"Why are you in such a hurry, my lord?" The commander did not move aside. He took a few steps in front of him and said, "I should first get the princess's permission. It would only be reasonable if I went in to search."

"Lord Commander is blocking me like this. Could it be that you want to hide something?" Lord Mayor really did not have the patience. This courtyard was the last one that he had not investigated in Duke Ling's Mansion. "Searching Duke Ling's Mansion is the Emperor's decree. The princess will marry the second son of the Duke of Ling. The courtyard is also in Duke Ling's Mansion. I believe that the princess will understand me."

Commander of Praetorian Guard was at a loss for words and wanted to let the palace maid speak. Turning his head, he saw that the palace maid fainted.

"Now, Lord Commander can make way, right?" Lord Mayor pressed forward step by step. The commander gritted his teeth. "This is also my duty." They walked in side by side.

The sound in the room was much softer, but there were noises from time to time.

"Princess?" The commander knocked on the door, "This official is under orders to search."

The room was half-closed and Yu Longyun's voice could not be heard.

Lord Mayor did not have the patience of the commander. He did not hear the reply after a long while, so he pushed the door open.

The room was a mess. A few stools were broken and the table was overturned on the ground.

Yu Longchen's legs were tied to the legs of the chairs on both sides. His hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth. He could only make "wuwu" sounds.

Yu Longyun could clearly see the palm print on her face. Her eyes were slightly red. Seeing the person who came in, she excitedly knocked down the chair.

"Princess!"

The two of them called out at the same time and quickly rushed forward to untie Yu Longyun. He let his subordinates check the suspicious people in the room.

"Ahem!" Yu Longyun had just untied the rope when she crouched on the ground and coughed dryly. Her fingers were on the floor and her voice was a little hoarse. "Ling... It's Ling Yunfeng, it's him!"

"What? What is the princess talking about?" Lord Mayor wanted to pick Yu Longyun up from the ground, but their identities were different. He and Commander of Praetorian Guard did not dare to make any new moves.

He wanted to pour Yu Longyun a cup of tea, but he could only see the broken teapot and tea cup on the ground.

"It was Ling Yunfeng who harmed fifth brother!" Yu Longyun patted the floor a few times to express her anger.

"Quickly search the room!" Lord Mayor did not know whether he was happy or worried, but the expression on his face became unnatural.

"Reporting to the lord, there is no trace of the emperor's son-in-law in the room." Lord Mayor's subordinates came over to report.

Praetorian Guard also had the same answer. Yu Longyun looked at the two of them, her eyes filled with hatred. "Why aren't you going to catch him? What are you doing here? He was the one who tied me up! And he even injured me! Go and take a look at what's next to the bed!"

Yu Longyun had almost recovered from her shock. She walked over and took out a few pieces of paper and threw them in front of the two of them.

Lord Mayor could not wait to see what was happening. Commander of Praetorian Guard's face turned green when he saw it. He pinched the paper into a ball.

"What does the commander want to do?" Yu Longyun looked at his actions and said sternly, "Leave these evidence to me. If there is any mistake, it will be bad."

When Yu Longyun spoke, Commander of Praetorian Guard naturally did not dare to refuse and returned it to Yu Longyun with Lord Mayor. Lord Mayor was happy. This thing was kept by Yu Longyun and that commander did not dare to do anything else.

"Princess should enter the Palace first." Lord Mayor clasped his hands and bowed, "If we continue to stay here and the son-in-law returns, it will not be good for the princess to be injured."

"En." Yu Longyun nodded and thought of the palace maids beside her and became worried again, "Did you see her outside the door?"

"That palace maid has already fainted." Lord Mayor answered truthfully.

"Humph!" Yu Longyun now truly hated Ling Yunfeng to the bone. First she harmed herself, and now she harmed Fifth Brother, "This princess wants to see how he will become!"

She shook off her sleeves and strode out, carrying the domineering air of the royal family. So what if she became a widow? Yu Longyun knew what kind of crime this was. When she found those papers, she had already thought of her future path.

The people of Duke Ling's Mansion gathered in the garden outside the main hall. When they saw Yu Longyun coming out from behind, they started to discuss.

"Where is the princess going?" The High Duke of Ling was very confident and they did not find anything. When they saw Yu Longyun full of anger and doubt, "But my son made the princess unhappy?"

"Then the High Duke of Ling must ask your son properly." Lord Mayor spoke with a sinister tone, "The Duke of Ling should hand over your Young Master as soon as possible."

The Duke of Ling did not understand what was going on and frowned.

"Prepare the carriage. I want to return to the Palace!" Yu Longyun walked out of the main door and a few people carried the fainted palace maid behind her.
