After leaving the teahouse, Ke lingered in the market for a long time, until she felt that she had avoided all possible surveillance and was safe.

In a deep alley, she met a masked man in a black hat, and this was also the real purpose of Ke's leaving the village today.

"The currency with the old lady's private seal is missing. How did you do it?"

The androgynous voice of the man in the black hat opposite said something in a strong and frightening way, which scared Ke so much that his face turned furious and panicked. "How is it possible? I saw Wang Er being replaced with my own eyes, how could there be someone else..." The more Ke spoke, the more his voice trembled.

The black hat pressed down its brim and said,

"It's not Wang Er's fault. Our people were ready to report the box, but they were intercepted by Tang! If he hadn't interfered this time, according to Dapu's laws, they would have been able to raid Zuo Xiang's house!"

Tang Yuwei, who was hiding in a mud house in a deep alley, was listening to the conversation between Jiang and the man in the black hat outside the window with a tense expression. Suddenly, a low voice came to his ear, like a gentle exhalation, "Searching the property?"

As soon as I lowered my head, Yangyang's crystal clear eyes met my gaze, "Why are you..."

Yangyang covered Tang Yuwei's mouth with her hand, made a 'hush' gesture to him, and put her ear to the window, and the sound outside the window became clearer.

"I was just about to report that I just ran into the eldest daughter of the Xue family. She said she had the land deeds we needed." Madam Ke paused and thought about what to say. "According to the original plan, we raided the house of Prime Minister Zuo, so naturally the land deeds would be no problem. But now we can't raid it. Do you think I should make this deal with Miss Xue?"

"I told you last time not to make things more complicated. She is a girl from a rich family, but she found you like this. Don't you think it's suspicious? And you dare to ask me if I want to make this deal?"

The man in the black hat became more and more angry as he spoke. Before he could finish his words, Ke was frightened and fell to his knees. "The currency just happened to be missing, and the Xue family girl came looking for you. Why don't you use your brain?"

"How could this be possible?" Ke kowtowed and begged for mercy. "So the girl from the Xue family wanted to plot against me?"

Ke asked again tentatively, raised his head to look at the man in the black hat, then lowered his head again.

The man in the black hat turned around and thought for a while. "Forget it. Let's see what tricks she is playing! Get the deed first. Since we failed again this time, we can think of another way. There will always be a chance to get that thing!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Isn't there that guy? He must have a way to get it." After hearing what the man in the black hat said, Ke felt that he had not completely messed up.

“Next time, you don’t have to appear in front of me again!” The man in the black hat turned away, and Ke collapsed on the ground as if he was liberated!

In the early years, she was just an adopted child in Gao Mingde's family. Because no one could talk better than her, she was respected by the elders of the Gao family.

As a maid, she was blessed by the master of the house and became the legal wife of a seventh-rank county magistrate. She should be grateful for her whole life. Not to mention being asked to help create chaos, she would have nothing to say even if she was asked to die!

The man in the black hat just now was naturally none other than...

"Who is that man in the black hat?" Yangyang asked after seeing Ke get up and disappear into the alley through the window.

"Why are you here?"

Tang Yuwei had clearly told her to leave after meeting Mrs. Ke, and that he would make arrangements for the rest. However, he did not expect that Yangyang was a person who did not play by the rules. Moreover, she had finally come out, so why didn't she find out what was going on.

Yangyang turned away from the window, stood up and said with a smile, "That Ke is so cunning, he didn't tell me anything, and just asked me to bring the deed tomorrow, I'm curious!"

But this trip was worthwhile. "That guy in the black hat wants to rob our Xue family? Are they looking for something?"

"So, the Ke family tried every means to seduce my grandmother, but their real purpose was to hope that our Xue family would be raided so that they could get that thing!" Yangyang shook her head, feeling a headache and fear!

Just one step, just one step and Ke’s plan would succeed!

Yangyang walked up to Tang Yuwei in a flattering and sticky manner, "General Tang, let me tell you! The Ke family is not simple." Yangyang didn't say the rest of the sentence, Tang Yuwei also had the ability of prophecy.

"I've been investigating, you go back first!" Yangyang saw that Tang Yuwei didn't look worried at all, but seemed to understand something.

The Gao family has always been closely connected with the Changguo Marquis family, and Gao Yuan's death made Gao Mingde even more closely tied to the Changguo Marquis family.

And they alone were not enough to stir up any waves. After all, the old Marquis of Changguo was in poor health, and Yuzhou was located in a remote area. The Gao family was not hereditary, and was weak.

What is terrifying is the power behind them, the person behind the scenes who brought them together and wanted to not only disrupt the people's hearts but also the country of Pu - Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, the one who had always regarded her mother, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, as an enemy.

But he couldn't say all this, because these words would be very dangerous to anyone.

"Then the Xue family will be fine? Has the general agreed? My father..." Yangyang looked like she was begging for mercy, but in fact she felt that this matter seemed more complicated than she had expected.

What Yangyang didn't expect was that Tang Yuwei also directly explained the situation he was worried about, "The man in the black hat is Gao Yuan's father, the Minister of Works. This matter is very complicated. Before you find out the truth, you'd better not get involved too much!"

The reason I told Yangyang all this was simply to make her understand the stakes involved and not to go too deep into it.

Maybe he overestimated Yangyang's courage. In fact, Yangyang was very afraid of death. She avoided anything that might offend the powerful. The only thing that concerned her was her father.

She naturally couldn't afford to offend big shots, but she couldn't ignore the Xue family's affairs. "General Tang, do you know what they want from the Xue family?"

Could that thing be related to her mother? Otherwise, why would her father remain silent every time he mentioned her mother, and why would he attack her father every time because of her mother!

Tang Yuwei was not very clear yet, but based on his investigations over the past few days, he felt that it was definitely related to Jia.

"As long as your father is innocent, nothing reckless will happen in your Xue family! I can guarantee you this!" Tang Yuwei always speaks very rigorously when it comes to state affairs.

Yangyang could naturally hear it, provided that her father was innocent.

But Yangyang firmly believed that there couldn't be anything wrong with her father! Absolutely not!
