During the three days since the young lady left, Wang Quan was anxious, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Looking at the snowstorm outside, he couldn't help but blame himself, why did he agree with the young lady to go to Luolingya alone?

Wang Quanquan slapped himself expressionlessly. Wen Wenxuan, who had finished today's homework, held the door frame and stared at the butler curiously. When the butler slapped him, his eyes rounded.

"Grandpa housekeeper, why are you beating yourself?"

Wang Quan grinned reluctantly: "Young master, have you finished your homework? I just move my hands and feet, so it doesn't get in the way."

It's getting dark now, Luolingya Mountain is not high, but the terrain is more complicated. If there are bandits, how can the young lady get away from those people by herself?

At the second gate, three grandsons of Mrs. Wang appeared. These three children are locked in the house now and cannot go anywhere. Even Mrs. Wang and her son and daughter-in-law dare not go out. Having never left Huadan County, there are many nobles in the capital, they are afraid of offending the nobles, they have no money and power, and they can't afford to offend the nobles.

Mrs. Wang patted her grandchildren back one by one, with an extremely humble attitude and a timid look, and asked dryly, "Butler Wang, has the eldest lady not come back yet?"

Wang Quan rolled his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "What do you do? Miss is busy."

Mrs. Wang shook her head repeatedly, when a voice came from the porter, "Miss, you are back!"

Wang Quan, Mrs. Wang and the others all stared wide-eyed. Wang Quan and Wen Wenxuan ran faster. Almost as soon as Yun Yao entered the door, her nephew had already thrown herself into her arms. Tears welled up in Wang Quan's eyes.

Yun Yao looked over one by one, then looked at Mrs. Wang, and asked, "Is something wrong with Mrs. Wang?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Mrs. Wang said with a shy face: "The old lady is relieved when she sees the lady back."

Yun Yao nodded: "If Wang Po lacks something, just mention it. Under normal circumstances, I will not be stingy."

How could Mrs. Wang dare to make demands? Their family was raised in Wen's house. They ate and drank well, and they didn't work. However, Mrs. Wang and her son and daughter-in-law were not at ease. living.

After dismissing Mrs. Wang, Yunyao comforted her nephew, and took him and Wang Quan into the study. The nephew was already seven years old, and Yunyao didn't hide it from him, lest the little guy think too much and get bored.

"Mingxuan, you can't tell anyone what Auntie and Uncle Wang do or say. This matter is very important, you know?" Yun Yao touched the little guy's head, and the little guy nodded solemnly. He couldn't understand many of what grandpa said, but he remembered them all in his heart, and he would always understand after thinking about it himself.

Afterwards, Yun Yao and Wang Quan discussed the results of this trip to Luoling Cliff, and Wang Quan's eyes widened when he heard what Yun Yao said.

"Miss, this, this Duke of Qi's mansion obviously has a different heart." Wang Quan's heart beat suddenly, and he pointed at the Duke of Qi's raising thugs and colluding with officials and bandits, and the Duke of Qi's mansion was doomed.

Yun Yao's expression was also very serious. On the way back, she was thinking about it. As far as she knew, it was enough for Duke Qi to die [-] times.

"Uncle Wang, tell me what you have heard in the past two days." Many people were assassinated by the Duke of Qi, all of whom had conflicts of interest with the Duke of Qi, such as the man named Ji Tianlu who was killed by the head of the family three years ago , he was originally sent to be a county magistrate in a rich county in the south of the Yangtze River. Less than half a year after he took office as the county magistrate, this Mr. Ji fell into the river and died while patrolling the river. The government ruled it was an accident, but never The head of the family learned from his mouth that there was no accident, it was all man-made, although it was not done by the people in his cottage, but the several cottages of them exchanged news, so they naturally knew.

Well, the magistrate of that county now is the third son of the Duke of Qi, the eldest son of the second wife. He just passed the examination three years ago, and his position at the bottom of the list of Jinshi almost fell to the position of the same Jinshi. But for them Young Master Yang is considered a very talented hero.

Wang Quan sorted out and reported the news that the servants heard one by one, and Yun Yao also combined all the news coherently, analyzing the news that was most useful to her.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Wang. Later, Uncle Wang will reward Wu Qi and the others with two taels of silver. Now our family has limited money. After this time passes, everything will be fine."

Wang Quan nodded, and Wu Qi and the others went out to inquire about the news, and everyone was allocated money. After all, restaurants and teahouses are the places where news spreads the fastest, and it is easiest to inquire about all parties.

"Uncle Wang, let Wu Qi and the others respectively go to investigate the situation of Lu'anhou Mansion, Dongxinbo Mansion, Weiguo Mansion, Yao Wenshu's Mansion, and General Gao Guangxi's Mansion respectively tomorrow. Among them, Weiguo Mansion and Qi State Mansion are Political enemies known both inside and outside the court of the Wei Dynasty, the two families have always been fighting in the court, but be careful when sailing for thousands of years, in case these two people are only pretending to be innocent on the surface, but in fact they are red-faced in private, to confuse everyone, Then if I rashly find Duke Wei's mansion, I will be caught in a trap."

Although the probability of this is not high, it still needs to be carefully investigated.

Wang Quan nodded solemnly when he heard the words, and then said: "I don't know much about these houses, Liu'anhou Mansion and Dongxinbo Mansion, and General Gao Guangxi Gao's Mansion, but the only one I know is Master Yao Wenshu. Minister of the Ministry of Rites is quite famous among civil servants, and the Yao family has a close relationship with the Duke of Qi, so I never thought that the second son of the Duke of Qi's Yang would be so mad that he ruined the third girl Yao, and was treated like a benefactor by the Yao family."

Yun Yao sneered, she didn't know what Yao Wenshu Master Yao was thinking, but most mothers love their children, think about the silly third girl Yao, if Mrs Yao knew, she would wish she could eat Young Master Yang alive.

Two years ago, Miss Yao San, who was beautiful and shining in the moon, was in the year of Huaxin. The girl was naturally invited, and a large group of people happily settled down at the villa of Prince Qing's Mansion, and began to climb the mountain the next day.

The environment on the mountain is good and there are flowers everywhere. Miss Yao San told her friend next to her and ran to the other side of the hillside to pick flowers. Her two maids followed her. The words were sent to the other girls, and when the girl returned to the hillside for the last time, she found that the girl was gone, and the other girl fell unconscious on the ground.

This matter immediately aroused panic at the outing party. People from Prince Qing's Mansion and Duke Qi's Mansion sent people to search for it. It was not until a day and night later that the people led by Second Young Master Yang found Miss Yao San in the opposite mountain col. At that time, Miss Yao San With ragged clothes and dull eyes, the world knew what terrible things had happened to her at a glance. No matter how the Yao family asked their daughter, the daughter would be stunned, like a fool.

The third girl Yao is stupid. The Yao family and the government have searched the mountains for half a month and found nothing. Whether the villain is tall or thin, there is no trace of the villain, because the incident happened at the outing party jointly organized by Prince Qing's Mansion and Duke Qi's Mansion. Second Young Master Yang is very dedicated. Up to now, Yao's father and Yao's mother are especially grateful to the second son Yang, who has very close contacts with the Duke of Qi's mansion.

If it wasn't for the words of the head of the Luolingya Village, Yun Yao would never have imagined that Miss Yao's tragic experience was the work of the second son Yang of Duke Qi's mansion. Because they were already married, the girls had no choice but to give up.

"Uncle Wang, this person has a typical human face and animal heart!" Yun Yao shook her head, it's a pity that Miss Yao San, the Yao family still treats enemies as benefactors, from the mouth of the head of the family, Yun Yao knew that Miss Yao San had suffered Second Young Master Yang is the first person in the brutal gang rape, and the three heads of the family also have a share, not to mention there are several other people, there are at least seven or eight people in total.

In the following time, everyone will divide the work and cooperate, and Yunyao is not idle. In addition to gathering the news to see if she can find any new situations, even after nightfall, she will go out in person. Yao Mansion inquired about the news.

Ten days later, it was already late December, and it was only ten days before the Chinese New Year. Yun Yao and Wang Quan stopped their investigation.

"Uncle Wang, tomorrow I'll go to contact Mrs. Yao and the three of them." Yun Yao stood on one side of the book case, and Wang Quan stood on the other side of the book case, and the two counted up the news in their hands and analyzed it one by one on paper.

Wang Quan nodded: "Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Lin is Master Yao's stepwife. She is only 35 years old, and she has only one child, Miss Yao San. In the past two years, because of her daughter's stupidity, Mrs. Yao has worked hard and been looking for the villain. It's a pity that she entrusted the wrong person. If Mr. Yao is afraid of the power of Duke Qi, then Mrs. Yao will avenge her even if she is a moth to the fire."

There are two other people, Mrs. Mo, the wife of Ji Liuye Ji Tianlu in the Marquis of Lu'an, and Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Jiang, the uncle of Dongxin. She only had one son, and his son was very talented. When she was looking forward to his son being admitted to the imperial examination and winning glory for Dongxinbo Mansion, his son died suddenly while he was studying abroad. The cause of death is unknown, and he still doesn’t know , Dongxin Bo Mansion has basically become a paradise for the second, third, concubines and concubines. Without a son, the Liu family has no intention of competing for family wealth and status.

From the head of the family, Yunyao already knew the truth about Mr. Jiang's death, that is, he inadvertently broke into the scene where Mr. Yang led people to kill and set fire, and he also saw Mr. Yang's true face, he is not dead who died?

On the second day, the weather was still cold, with constant north wind, rain and snow. Yunyao wrote three letters with her left hand and hired three beggars on the street to give to Mrs. Yao Lin, Mrs. Ji Liu, Mrs. Mo, Mrs. Jiang's Mrs. Liu delivered the letter. Naturally, Wu Qi, Shi Yang and others were watching the three beggars, and they must let them deliver the letter.

The content of the letter to Mrs. Yao Lin is: the truth that Mrs. Yao has been pursuing is near the bamboo box on the second floor of Chunfeng Building.

The content of the letter to Mrs. Ji Liu's Mrs. Mo is: Madam really believes that Er's son-in-law fell into the water by accident?If you want to know the truth, please come to the bamboo box on the second floor of Chunfeng Building when Yu Sishi is here.

The content of the letter to Mrs. Jiang Liu's is: The truth that Madam has been pursuing, please come to the bamboo box on the second floor of Chunfeng Building at noon.

Mrs. Yao had just left her daughter's yard, and another line of tears fell down her head. It has been almost three years, and her daughter is still so stupid, and there is still no trace of the villain. She hates her and complains, but it is of no avail .

Recently, the master has become a little impatient, and he said that the government has tried its best and can't catch anyone, so what can he do?Mrs. Yao smiled bitterly. Her family was originally just a small family. Marrying the master and becoming a first-class wife is an honor she never thought of when she was in the boudoir. But she would rather not have this honor. She wants her daughter to get better. She wants to catch the villain and avenge her daughter!

Back in the main courtyard, her maid handed her a letter. The concierge said it was from a beggar. Mrs. Yao wiped her eyes, trying to calm herself so as not to look so embarrassed, but the next moment she opened the letter. Opening the letter, staring at the font on the letter, she couldn't help standing up, her whole body was trembling.

"Yuexiang, prepare the carriage, I want to go out." Mrs. Yao took a deep breath, her heart was still beating violently, she didn't care if it was a prank or not, even if it was a prank, she would go there and find out the truth for herself. Fake.

Yuexiang froze for a moment, then ran out to arrange the carriage.

Mrs. Yao folded the letter carefully, put it in her sleeve, and paced back and forth with a panicked expression.

Yunyao had booked the bamboo box in Chunfeng Building yesterday, and she waited in the box alone for a long time, while Wang Quan and the coachman were drinking tea in the public space on the second floor and observing the first floor. As soon as Mrs. Yao appeared on the first floor, Wang Quan He and the coachman had already seen it, he hurried to the box next to him, knocked on the door, and turned back.

When Yun Yao heard the knock on the door, she knew that Mrs. Yao had come. Mrs. Yao went up to the second floor alone, leaving the driver and maid in the carriage.

Hearing the knock on the door again, Yunyao opened the door. Mrs. Yao froze for a moment, and then entered the room without delay. She looked into the room and turned to look at Yunyao with a puzzled expression. After closing the doors and windows, he made a gesture to Mrs. Yao: "Madam Yao, please."

Mrs. Yao asked calmly, "Your Excellency sent me the letter?"

The two sat down and looked at each other, Yun Yao nodded: "I sent the letter to Madam."

The two people who had never met before, suddenly this person sent a letter to him, there must be a connection, Madam Yao asked again: "Who is your Excellency? How do you know what I am asking for?"

Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "The Yao family has a good relationship with Duke Qi's mansion, so Madam must know Miss Yang San's current fiancé, Pei Jieyuan."

Mrs. Yao couldn't hide the surprise on her face. Yunyao didn't show off, and continued: "And I am Pei Jieyuan's divorced first wife Wen Huiniang. Madam must only know that the first wife of Miss Yang San's fiancé is impatient because she doesn't obey women's rules. Lonely, Hongxing cheated and was abandoned by her husband's family."

Mrs. Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed." She was also a little puzzled at the beginning, Pei Jieyuan was about to become famous, why could his wife be so lonely at this moment?

"That's because Miss Yang San fell in love with Pei Jieyuan and colluded with Pei Jieyuan's mother, Mrs. Pei, to frame me." Yun Yao sneered, Madam Yao still looked a little disbelieving, and wondered why Pei Jieyuan's first wife came to her?

"I just explained my identity to Madam to convince Madam that I am not a liar. Madam has been tracking down the villain who hurt your love for the past two years? Madam, why don't you think about why you can't find any signs? You just do that Do you believe in Young Master Yang?"

Mrs. Yao's expression was even more confused. The first wife of Miss Yang's fiancé was really strange, so she heard her say: "Why didn't Madam doubt Mr. Yang?"

Yun Yao saw Mrs. Yao's eyes enlarged suddenly, and she was clutching her chest, which was ups and downs.

"What Mrs. Wen said is true? How did you know?" A sharp pain surged from the bottom of my heart, and Mrs. Yao closed her eyes, trembling all over.

Yun Yao sighed: "Because San Miss Yang asked someone to pretend to be a gangster and kill my brother at Luolingya in order to prevent my father and brother from finding out the truth. My father is old, and after hearing the news of my brother's death, he was too sad to vomit blood. Not long ago, I personally went to Luoling Cliff to find the truth, and only then did I learn the truth from those gangsters. Similarly, the Duke of Qi’s government has always cooperated with those gangsters. of."

Mrs. Yao clutched her chest with a grim expression: "Yang Qianchang, a beast that is not as good as pigs and dogs!"

"Ling'ai should be quite beautiful. I learned from the gangster that Second Young Master Yang has been coveting Ling'ai's beauty, but he is already married, and Yao Shangshu's first daughter is absolutely impossible to marry him as a concubine. After thinking hard, In order to get your young lady, Second Young Master Yang did something inferior to a beast." Yun Yao continued, "I came to seek Madam, because I wanted to cooperate with Madam, and I have a sworn feud with Miss Yang, and Yang San Miss San is the daughter of Duke Qi's mansion, even if Duke Qi won't protect his daughter, he won't let my Wen family off afterwards, so in order to avenge my brother and for the Wen family to be safe and sound, I want to get rid of Duke Qi's mansion."

Mrs. Yao was in extreme pain, and it took about a quarter of an hour for her to recover. Her voice was hoarse: "Mrs. Wen didn't explain. In fact, the gangster was raised by Duke Qi's mansion, right?"

Yun Yao's eyes lit up, and she sighed: "Madam is smart! I came to Madam because I am sure Madam will give everything for Ling Ai, I just hope Madam will not leak the news, Duke Qi's mansion is very kind, and there is Concubine Qi De in the palace. There is the second prince, the prince's nephew, and one mistake can let the Duke of Qi get away with it."

Madam Yao bit her lip and nodded fiercely, Yun Yao said again: "Actually, Madam is not the only victim, there are many people who have been persecuted by Duke Qi."

Just like what Yun Yao said, in order to avenge her daughter, Mrs. Yao risked everything. Without thinking too much, she confessed the contacts in her hands. Master Yao's contacts, she can't use much. For example, she has no right to mobilize the government or the army, not even Master Yao.

The purpose of Yunyao's search for a partner is to see if someone has the right to arrest all the gangsters she knows about the Duke of Qi's mansion without making a fuss. Madam Yao has no hope here. Are there any in the Mansion, Dongxinbo Mansion, or General Gao?

Just as the two were immersed in their respective thoughts, the door was knocked three more times. Mrs. Yao stared at the door with red and swollen eyes. Yun Yao said: "It was my subordinate who informed me that the person I notified has arrived upstairs. down."

Wang Quan saw Mrs. Ji Liu came downstairs with two maids by her side. Wang Quan quickly wrote a note and called Xiao Er to pass it to the lady.

Xiao Er didn't do too many things like this, and he was not timid at all. He handed the note to Mrs. Ji Liu with a smile. After reading the note, Mrs. Ji Liu was a little surprised, but she didn't object.

"Go back to the carriage and don't worry about me." She is a woman in her thirties, so what danger is she afraid of?

The two servant girls looked flustered, but they couldn't refute Madam's words, so they had to go back into the carriage outside.

Mrs. Ji Liu stabilized her mind, but her mind was still a little confused. Her husband's death was an accident known to everyone, but today, three years later, someone wrote to tell her that it was not an accident, but man-made. The intention of the person who wrote this letter, but I was thinking in my heart, what if what this person said is true?Did she just watch the person who killed her husband get away with it?

On the second floor, at the door of the bamboo box, Mrs. Ji Liu stabilized her mind again and knocked on the door. When Yun Yao saw the shadow on the door, she was already standing at the door. When she heard the knock, she hurried to open the door. the door.

The first time Mrs. Ji Liu entered the door was to look at this room. She didn't know Yunyao, but she knew Mrs. Yao. Both she and Mrs. Yao had surprise in their eyes. One was surprised that the person looking for her was Mrs. Yao, and the other Suddenly, Mrs. Ji Liu's husband seemed to have died three years ago. She didn't know the reason very well, but today it seems that he was also murdered by the Duke of Qi.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Ji Liu was crying like Mrs. Yao. She never expected the truth to be like this, how wronged her husband was, and how bullying the Yang family was!Thinking of the three years that their mother and son lived in the Marquis of Lu'an, Mrs. Ji Liu really wanted to eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Yang family.

"Mrs. Wen, my cousin is the commander in Ningzhou. He can mobilize an army of 5000 people." Mrs. Ji Liu wiped away her tears and said through gritted teeth.

Yunyao's eyes lit up. Ningzhou is the next county to the north. According to Luolingya's master, there is a Yunling on the way from the capital to Ningzhou, and a team of 500 people hovers above it The bandits, this bandit is also raised by the Duke of Qi.

"Okay, Mrs. Ji Liu, let's figure it out. How can we catch those gangsters in the sky prison without scaring them off? By the time I file a court case, the Duke of Qi's mansion has no time to order those gangsters to escape."

The three of them exchanged what they knew about Duke Qi's mansion, and another half an hour passed, and it was almost noon, when the door was knocked three more times, and it dawned on Yun Yao that the last appointment she had made had come.

Mrs. Jiang didn't take the maid upstairs, she left the maid directly in the carriage. As a woman in her forties, she knew very well that there were some secrets that only she could know.

When Mrs. Ji Liu and Mrs. Yao saw Mrs. Jiang, they immediately understood that the death of Mrs. Jiang's son, the stunningly talented Mr. Jiang, was not an accident, but also a murderous hand of Duke Qi's family.

Seeing Mrs. Ji Liu and Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Jiang was also surprised. She suddenly remembered that both of them were hard-working women. One lost her husband, the other caused misfortune to her daughter, and her son died for no reason. I don't know the reason until now.

The environment of Dongxinbo Mansion is complex, with an extremely eccentric old lady, younger siblings who are constantly bewitching, etc., a cowardly and incompetent elder, a dogmatic second master, and a lustful third master. Since Mrs. Jiang After letting go of the power of housekeeper, this Dongxinbo Mansion has become more and more unbearable. In the past ten years, Mrs. Jiang has recently felt annoyed. She plans to really live in the nunnery, but she doesn't want someone to send her son whom she has been longing to know all of a sudden. The truth about death.

When Mrs. Jiang learned the truth from Yun Yao, she was at a loss, and after a while, she fell down on the table and burst into tears.

"Jun'er, mother has finally found your murderer. Don't worry, mother will avenge you!" Mrs. Jiang wiped away her tears. Although Mrs. Jiang's natal family does not have a title, it is a family of military generals for generations. There are many children in the army, if she wants to ask her natal father, brother or nephew to help, how can the father, brother and nephew not help?

However, this matter should not be rushed, and it must be steady. The Duke of Qi's government has held power in the Great Wei for so many years, and his connections in the military and government will only be more than those of the Liu family and the Mo family.

"Madam Wen, don't worry, we won't act recklessly for the sake of one blow."

Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Although it took her a little longer to find an ally now, it was safer. She didn't want to live under the surveillance of the royal family in the future.

Today, when they first heard the heavy news, Mrs. Yao and the others were exhausted, so they had to take it easy and wait for their emotions to calm down before discussing this matter. Think twice like this, and it is not easy to make mistakes.
