Chapter 188 Visiting Yuelai Teahouse at Night
Shen Changyan told Yingyi Yingze to guard the Yiming teahouse, and left.

Back at Duke Shen's mansion, Bai Zhi was lying on the bed reading a book as if nothing had happened.

Shen Changyan asked in confusion: "Zhi'er, is this the end?"

Bai Zhi asked back: "Otherwise? There is no antidote."

Seeing her calm expression, Shen Changyan knew that she must have made up her mind, otherwise she would not have let the troops withdraw and did not search Yuelai Teahouse.

Although the landlady threatened with her life, it was too easy to go upstairs and search.

"Zhi'er, can you tell me about your plan?"

Bai Zhi didn't wait for an answer, and someone came in to report: "Your Majesty, Young Madam, Taoist Master Yijiang just stood at the door of the Third Prince's Mansion for a while, but went back and did not go out."

Shen Changyan ordered: "Continue to monitor, we must not let Taoist Yijiang out of our sight."

The man agreed and left.

Shen Changyan asked Bai Zhi the previous question again.

Bai Zhi did not tell him, but smiled mysteriously: "You will know by then."

Shen Changyan didn't ask anymore, in fact, he had already guessed something, but he was just not sure.

The whole afternoon, Bai Zhi stayed in Shen Guogong's mansion without going out, and even drank tea with Mrs. Shen for a while.

Everyone in Duke Shen's mansion was very busy, preparing for their wedding.

Bai Zhi stopped making trouble and went back to her room to read medical books.

Shen Changyan was in the study and learned about Bai Zhi's real-time updates from his servants from time to time.

It was dark, after dinner.

Shen Changyan was a little impatient.

He asked Bai Zhi again.

Bai Zhi still didn't answer, just changed into night clothes.

"Where are you going?"

Shen Changyan asked puzzledly.

"Do you want to be together? Then hurry up." Bai Zhi said while wearing a black mask.

Shen Changyan didn't hesitate anymore, and went back to the room as quickly as possible to change into night clothes, and then joined Bai Zhi, and the two left the mansion together.

Bai Zhi led Shen Changyan to Yiming Teahouse.

Inside Yiming Teahouse, the lights are bright.

On the opposite side, the Yuelai Teahouse was dark and there was no movement at all.

"Those poisoned tea drinkers at Yuelai Teahouse..." Shen Changyan asked worriedly.

But Bai Zhi signaled him not to speak, and then made a stealth trick, and the two climbed over the wall from the backyard and entered Yuelai Teahouse.

Using qigong, Bai Zhi jumped onto the roof, followed by Shen Changyan.

He knew that she wanted to see the situation inside the house, so before Bai Zhi could make a move, he lifted a tile first, and the light came out immediately.

Shen Changyan unconsciously took a breath of cold air. It turned out that there were lights in the house, and the lights were very bright. However, the front and rear windows were covered with thick black opaque curtains, so it looked like there were no lights inside.

He then gently opened a few more tiles to see more clearly.

In the hall of Yuelai Teahouse, the proprietress and Mei Er were detoxifying the tea drinkers.

Mei Er said: "Sister, there are so many tea guests, how do we send them out? There are guards on the opposite side all the time, but if there is any movement, they will be alarmed, and it will be over."

"Are you stupid? Won't we move them out through the back door? Have you sent them a letter?" asked the boss's wife.

Meier nodded and replied, "I have already released the carrier pigeon."

"Then let's detoxify the tea customers quickly, and they will wait at the back door to transfer these tea customers out." The proprietress showed a happy expression on her face after hearing this.

Meier asked in surprise: "The proprietress said in the letter that someone will come and pick up these tea guests?"

"Don't inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about. You're such an idiot. I can't read a single character, and I can't understand the letter even in front of you. How could those tea guests be picked up? They were detoxified, and they were also in a coma. Just find a place and throw it away, it has nothing to do with us." The proprietress glared at Meier and said with a proud smile.

Meier asked puzzledly: "The tea customer is gone, won't the government trouble us?"

The proprietress angrily picked up the feather duster beside her, as if she was going to whip her.

Meier was so frightened that she held her head and begged for mercy: "Sister, please forgive me, Meier is stupid."

"No one saw it, so we said we were attacked tonight. Who can cause trouble for us? Last night, wasn't there several waves of attacks on the other side? And today we were attacked by beggars in broad daylight."

The proprietress was angry and she was still very proud to show off to Meier.

Meier asked in surprise, "Why does my sister know everything?"

"Hmph, do you think sister and I are like this little bitch like you? Hurry up, go upstairs and get the honeysuckle flowers to detoxify these tea guests." The proprietress became a little impatient and waved her hand.

Mei Er agreed and went upstairs.

Soon she went downstairs again and handed a small cloth bag of honeysuckle to the proprietress.

The proprietress then added honeysuckle flowers to other herbs, and quickly prepared an antidote, which she and Mei Er gave to the diners respectively.

Shen Changyan was on the roof and couldn't help clenching his fists.

The poisoning case in Yiming Teahouse was indeed the work of the proprietress of Yuelai Teahouse.

He looked at Bai Zhi, saw her face was calm, and asked in a low voice: "You already knew?"

Bai Zhi smiled coldly, acquiescing to his statement.

In the house, a dozen men in black suddenly came in, carried the tea drinkers on their backs and walked into the backyard.

Bai Zhi said aloud: "It's time to close the net. After waiting for so long, this moment is what I've been waiting for."

As she said that, she took out a signal tube from her pocket, lit it with a torch, and heard a sizzling sound as a ball of flame rose into the air and exploded in mid-air.

The people in black who had come to the backyard carrying tea guests were frightened and were immediately confused.

The proprietress lowered her voice and said, "Don't panic, send these tea guests away quickly."

Only then did the people in black stop their rioting and quickly walked towards the back door.

"Stop, don't move!"

Suddenly, a torch lit up outside the backyard door, and the firelight illuminated half of the sky. It looked like there were a lot of people there.

This time the man in black really panicked, subconsciously left the tea guest behind, trying to escape alone.

But people outside gathered around and quickly captured the men in black one by one.

The proprietress and Meier were also arrested.

"Who are you, why are you arresting me?" The proprietress twisted her body and shouted loudly.

"Why? Don't you know what you did yourself?" Yingyi sneered and snapped.

"I don't know, you broke into private houses, and the men in black took advantage of the disaster at Yuelai Teahouse to rob, I want to report to the authorities."

The proprietress beat back, but instead said that Yingyi and the others came to rob.

Hearing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help sneering, this Bai Weiwei is really shameless, and she is the most rebellious.

She stood on the roof and said: "Don't worry, Wang Shangshu and Master Jing Zhaoyi will be here soon. If they have told you any grievances, can they still make you suffer at the feet of the emperor?"

The landlady suddenly shuddered when she heard these words and saw no one.
