"Xiao Jin, you're hiding the river pirate yet you still refuse to admit it! Previously, you ordered the Imperial Guards to stop the officers from arresting him, and now you want to stop me from searching for him?" Xiao Jue gritted his teeth and suppressed the chill in his heart. He glared at Xiao Jin in fury and refused to let himself appear weak.
"Your guys have practically dug up the roots and you still haven't found him?"
Xiao Jue gritted his teeth. "Search! Continue searching!"
Xiao Jin didn't stop them and allowed the soldiers to search.
However, gradually, the soldiers who went to search returned.
"Your Highness, we have searched everywhere in the front courtyard, and we didn't find anyone suspicious."
"Your Highness, we've searched the back courtyard, but there's nothing."
Nothing here, nothing there, there was nothing anywhere. How was this possible!
