Yan Zheng was completely stunned.

Yan Yilun continued burning paper money and said, "Second Uncle is in Yanchuan City, he should know about this prince consort, right?"

Yan Zheng said, "Of course I know, this Yasu Manor belongs to him."

"What?" This time it was Yan Yilun's turn to be surprised.

Yan Zheng continued, "The Yiwen Society, the academy and art studio in front, and the clubhouse near the entrance are all rented from his house."

"Zhao Cheng is indeed as rich as the rumors say!"

Yan Yilun gritted his teeth and said, "Second Uncle, Changsui Mujing Bay is also Zhao Cheng's property. Third Uncle and the masters died because of this!"

Yan Zheng also picked up the paper money and burned it with his nephew, asking, "How do you plan to take revenge?"

Yan Yilun said, "My strength is limited on my own, I need my second uncle's help."

Yan Zheng asked doubtfully, "I am just a scholar who can't even kill a chicken. Although I also hate the murderer who killed my third brother, how can I help you?"

"I already have a plan."

Yan Yilun moved closer to Yan Zheng and said, "Second Uncle only needs to do two things for me, and the great undertaking will be accomplished."

Yan Zheng raised his hand to stop Yan Yilun, got up and walked behind the courtyard gate. He listened for a while and then looked around.

Yan Yilun said, "Second Uncle, I am now a first-class master, and I have some methods that even top masters cannot defend against. If anyone around here is eavesdropping, they will not escape my ears."

Yan Zheng then returned to Yan Yilun's side and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

“There is an extremely powerful expert in the Right Prime Minister’s residence, who has already reached the level of a Grandmaster. I need my second uncle to lure her away.”

Yan Zheng pointed to his own nose and exclaimed in surprise, "Me? I lured the Grandmaster away?"

"Second Uncle, there's no need to panic. You don't know martial arts, so you're not going to provoke her."

Yan Yilun leaned close to Yan Zheng's ear and said, "I received news that Zhao Huan is secretly mining iron ore in Lingshan. Second Uncle, all you need to do is secretly spread the word to the Right Prime Minister's residence that a master has appeared in Lingshan and discovered an iron mine. Zhao Huan values ​​iron ore, and upon hearing of the presence of a master, he will naturally send his most powerful grandmaster to investigate. This is the first thing I want Second Uncle to do."

Yan Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Anyone could do this, why me?"

Yan Yilun explained, “I’ve been away from Yanchuan City for too long and I don’t know anyone there anymore. I don’t trust anyone else to help me. Of course, most importantly, Zhao Huan’s iron ore mining is very secretive. It’s not surprising that you, Second Uncle, could get this information since you work at the Yiwen Society.”

"I understand. What's the second thing?"

"The second thing is that after I get rid of Zhao Cheng and put the evidence of Zhao Huan's rebellion into the Right Prime Minister's residence, Second Uncle, you should use the Yiwen Society's name to publish the news of Zhao Huan's rebellion through normal channels."

Yan Zheng was completely stunned. He quickly took a big gulp of wine and said, "Get rid of Zhao Cheng...put the evidence of Zhao Huan's rebellion into the Prime Minister's residence... Yi Lun, let's not even talk about how you can do these things. But even if you can put the evidence of Zhao Huan's rebellion into the Prime Minister's residence, do you know that Yan Chuan City is now under the control of the Prime Minister's residence? Prefect Li Dai is Zhao Huan's student. Who will help you search for evidence? Who will help you arrest people?"

Yan Yilun said confidently, "Second Uncle, just do it. I have a backup plan."

"No way!" Yan Zheng immediately refused, saying, "How dare I act if you don't explain clearly?"

Yan Yilun thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I will tell you the truth."

"Second Uncle, my two masters are experts in hidden weapons and poison. The reason they both took me as their disciple is because I have a talent for both. The poison and poisoning techniques I developed can knock out not only grandmasters but also top experts. That's why I asked you to lure that grandmaster away."

"Once I infiltrate the Right Prime Minister's residence, kill Zhao Cheng, and place the evidence of Zhao Huan's crimes in the residence, officials from the imperial court will come to arrest him!"

Yan Zheng asked, "The Right Chancellor's residence has its own troops, and the Prefect's residence also has its own garrison. Does this official appointed by the court have any troops?"

Yan Yilun asked, "Would five thousand elite troops suffice?"

Yan Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Who is this person? Who can lead five thousand elite soldiers to assist you?!"

Yan Yilun gave a cold laugh and said, "Commander of the Great Jing Zhenhai Camp, Du Yu Chengdu!"

...

Several days later.

The Right Prime Minister's residence was stirred by the night breeze.

Yan Yilun had been hiding in the tree in the backyard for an hour. Seeing that no one had discovered him, he thought to himself that the information he had was correct: there was only one Grandmaster in the Right Prime Minister's residence.

Now that the grandmaster is not at home, under the influence of his bewitching poison, even the sharpest expert would have reduced senses and would naturally be unable to detect it.

He moved nimbly through the courtyard and discovered that some guards were already lying on the ground.

The drug is working.

If we wait another 15 minutes, given the extent to which the drug spreads, everyone in the entire backyard will be under its influence.

Yan Yilun waited patiently.

For the sake of avenging my third uncle and my two masters, I'd be willing to wait a year without moving.

Besides, it's only a quarter of an hour.

Although his third uncle has passed away, he keeps his third uncle's teachings in mind: as a person, one must know how to be grateful!

Kindness must be repaid, and grudges must be investigated.

That's what makes a real man, that's what makes a true江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world)!

Fifteen minutes had passed when Yan Yilun took a deep breath and walked toward a house not far away.

He remembered that Zhao Cheng had entered the room before evening, but had not come out since.

They're probably drugged inside.

The lights were still on inside, but Yan Yilun didn't care at all. He casually pushed the door open and entered, then closed it behind him.

He saw someone lying on the bed, so he drew his dagger and walked toward the bed. As he got closer to the bed, he saw a graceful figure lying there.
