Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1940: Fourth Prince

The leader of the man in black softly said to the others, "It’s right here. After you get inside, search carefully. Once you get the item, retreat quickly. It’s best not to be noticed. If, unfortunately, you’re discovered by people from the General’s Mansion, don’t linger in battle; retreat quickly. Do you understand?"

The other men in black nodded repeatedly.

Soon, the men in black sneaked into the General’s Mansion.

Study room.

Situ Yongjie read for a while and felt very sleepy, so he stood up to return to his room to sleep.

Just after he left the study, several men in black sneaked in. They searched the entire study but couldn’t find what they were looking for. After shaking their heads at each other, they gathered to discuss...

"What should we do? We can’t find the item. If we report back, we’ll surely be blamed."

"Could it be that General Situ took the item back to his room?" one of the men in black whispered.

"Hmm, it’s possible. Since we’re already in, we might as well search there."

"Alright! Let’s go."

To avoid punishment from their Master upon returning, the men in black prepared to search Situ Yongjie’s room.

When they arrived, the Master had already given them a map that clearly marked which room Situ Yongjie lived in.

So they quickly found Situ Yongjie’s room, using the map.

Situ Yongjie was a military general famous in the Imperial court, so they were even more cautious, fearing they’d wake the General and couldn’t get away.

"Shh! All of you, be careful!"

The leader of the men in black bent down, placed his index finger on his lips, sneaked a hush, and was the first to enter the room.

"Clang!"

As soon as all the men in black entered the room and before they could react to what was happening, a large iron cage fell from the beam above, trapping them.

Instantly, the room was brightly lit.

Xuexue stepped out from the shadows, with a proud smile on her face, and said to Situ Yongjie beside her, "Father, I was right. Preparing this big cage, we can definitely catch these big rats tonight."

Situ Yongjie also found it strange, "Xuexue, how did you know there would be assassins tonight?"

In the afternoon, Xuexue had sent someone to the General’s Mansion, instructing Situ Yongjie to prepare a large cage and specifically ordered that the cage be big enough to hold several people.

Situ Yongjie was very puzzled, not knowing what Xuexue was planning, but still sent people to the iron shop to hurry and make a large iron cage.

By evening, the large iron cage had been brought back to the General’s Mansion.

Just as Situ Yongjie was worrying about the Great Dragon, Xuexue brought servants over.

Without a word, they carried the large iron cage into his room, installed it on the beam, and once someone triggered the mechanism, the iron cage would fall, trapping the intruders inside.

Xuexue laughed and said, "Father, don’t you think, with the Petition of the People in your hands, others would also be anxious?"

"You mean, these people were sent by the Prime Minister."

"Exactly."

"Should we interrogate them? It’s just a guess. Whatever we do, we need evidence."

Xuexue yawned and said, "You interrogate if you want, but I’m sleepy. I’m going to bed."

With that, she led Zi Xia out.

The General’s Mansion always kept her room.

Situ Yongjie gazed grimly at the men in black trapped in the large iron cage, preparing to call servants to capture them for a proper interrogation.
