The madam stood aside with her heart in her throat.

I saw the guards clearing away the firewood piled at the foot of the wall in a few seconds, followed by the thick rice straw on the ground.

The madam finally couldn't help but speak.

"There is nothing in this woodshed. We really don't have any thieves in Zuimenglou."

The guards ignored her and continued to clean the rice straw on the ground.

As the rice stalks were cleaned, Yuan Bao became more and more excited, spinning around in the corner and barking excitedly.

But there is really nothing in this corner.

Su Yue looked at the floor and corners of the entire woodshed with confusion, feeling that things were not that simple.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Ze, and the Marquis and Madam, please be kind and let us go. All our guests have been scared away, and we still have business to do!"

Jun Yuze sighed: "There is nothing here, let's not waste time and go search elsewhere!"

The madam secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they would just leave like this.

As a result, the next moment I heard Leng Xiaohan say: "Wait, something is wrong here."

Everyone looked at him.

Leng Xiaohan pointed to the cleaned corner of the woodshed and said, "The color of the ground here is slightly different from that of other floors, and the area formed is exactly a square, that is, along these edges."

Following the direction he pointed, everyone looked over and found that it was indeed the case. The place where the straw in the woodshed was stacked was actually cleaner than other places.

Jun Yuchen immediately stepped forward and squatted down. He raised his hand and knocked on the ground. The sound was hollow.

His face became a little more serious, and he knocked at other places to compare. The sounds in other places were dull and obviously different. He immediately said: "No, it's empty down here."

Su Yue immediately looked at the madam.

"Tell me, what's going on? Is there a cellar or a secret passage underground?"

The old bustard hesitated and said: "I, I don't know, oh, I remembered, it seems to be an abandoned cellar."

"Open!" Su Yue shouted rudely.

She knew that this old witch was dishonest and indeed had something to hide.

"It's really just an abandoned cellar." The madam looked horrified, but still refused to open it.

Jun Yuchen was angry, exuding a terrifying low pressure, and his voice was bone-chilling.

"You hindered Gu's capture of the thief, protected the suspect, and executed him accordingly. Your crime implicated the nine clans. Come and capture him."

The madam's legs softened in fright, and she knelt on the ground, a look of fear on her face.

She didn't wait for the guards to catch her, so she didn't catch her.

"No, don't catch me. I'll open the cellar, but don't chop my head off."

Jun Yuze scolded: "Hurry up!"

She stumbled and crawled towards the corner. Under her guidance, the two guards quickly lifted the ground, revealing a square, dark entrance.

"There really is a cellar, Yuanbao is great." Su Yue rubbed Yuanbao's head with a smile on her face.

Jun Yuze couldn't wait to climb down first, but Su Yue quickly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, you can't see anything inside. Let's find a light first."

The cellar is dark, empty, and prone to carbon dioxide poisoning.

If Princess Wen Ran is really inside, it will be very bad.

Jun Yuze was running around anxiously, and Jun Yuchen said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Yong'an Hou is right, don't be anxious yet."

The guard found a torch in the woodshed, poured oil on it, and lit it.

As the guards descended into the cellar, the entire cellar was illuminated.

It's not spacious inside, but it's reasonably clean.

There were seven or eight girls tied up against the wall, all in their seventies, eighties or nineties. Their mouths were all stuffed with towels, and they couldn't move. They could only open their eyes, shivering in despair and fear.

"Your Highness, there is someone inside."

The guards screamed in surprise, but they had never seen Jun Wenran, and they didn't know for a while whether she was inside.

And there were a few who fell unconscious on the ground with dirt on their faces.

Jun Yuchen immediately jumped in and landed firmly on the ground.

Jun Yuze followed closely behind.

Leng Xiaohan and Su Yue were waiting for news above.

The madam sat slumped on the ground and stammered in explanation: "Inside, there are children I took in. They are not thieves, not really thieves."

Most of the children they collect from traffickers are very cheap.

Those with good looks were kept for training, while those with average looks were basically sent to lower-class brothels and Chu palaces.

Such girls usually have unknown origins, and child trafficking is illegal, so they all trade in secret.

But the madam was just thinking at this time that the thief must not be inside.

There are little girls inside, how could they enter the palace and steal things.

She had kept it secret just because she was afraid that the matter would be exposed.

Now she only thinks that as long as the thief is not found inside, this matter will be nothing. She will definitely not admit that these girls have unknown origins.

In the cellar.

Jun Yuchen looked at the people inside one by one, with a look of disappointment on his face. Until he saw the last two girls, his eyes immediately lit up.

Those two people were Jun Wenran and the palace maid Wuyou beside her.

He immediately stepped forward and held his sister in his arms, and his heart dropped.

"Found it! Finally found it."

Jun Yuze shouted excitedly, and wiped the dirt on his sister's face with great distress.

Jun Wenran was still unconscious. Jun Yuchen held her tightly in his arms, glanced at the girls still tied on the ground, and immediately ordered: "Untie them all and bring them up!"

Judging from the current situation, these girls are definitely not sold into Zuimenglou normally.

Maybe they were all abducted like Jun Wenran.

Jun Yuchen hugged his sister and used Qing Kung Fu to fly directly out of the cellar. Jun Yuze followed closely with Wuyou in his arms.

Su Yue, who was waiting at the cellar door, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jun Wenran. She finally found this little girl.

It's really scary. Fortunately, I have Yuanbao, otherwise I would have missed it.

Who knew that there was a cellar hidden in this ordinary woodshed? No one would have thought of this.

The madam couldn't figure out the situation for a while. She asked doubtfully: "Is this little girl the thief you want to catch?"

This girl is extremely beautiful, and she just took it from Ren Yazi today.

How could she be a thief?

Jun Yuchen looked at the madam with a dark face and said expressionlessly: "You'd better explain clearly where the girls inside are from."

The madam's legs were so frightened that she couldn't speak.

What is the origin of these girls? They were all secretly abducted by people.

Now, no matter how stupid she is, she understands that catching the thief is just a cover, and finding this girl is their real purpose.
