Ah Yu hurried forward and interrupted her, looking out the door with some fear, fearing that there was a third person present, and even more afraid that these words would reach the ears of the young master.

"The Master does not like people to disobey him. Anyone who displeases him will die."

Yun Jiao pursed her lips and said, "He looks less than 20 years old. Is there no one in Lanzhou who is hostile to him?"

Ayu thought for a while:

"Yes, but it's useless. Nearly 80% of Lanzhou City's yaks, sheep, and camels, as well as salt and iron, which are closely related to survival, are all in the hands of Master Ling. No one dares to go against him."

iron?

Yun Jiao paused for a moment, "He has iron in his hand?"

This is something that the state prohibits private sale of meals.

"I also heard it from others." Ah Yu's words were ambiguous. As a servant, she didn't know much.

Yun Jiao slowly sat back in his chair, as if thinking about something. No one knew what he was thinking about.

After a while.

Fang said: "I want to go out for a walk."

"As long as Miss Yun doesn't leave this mansion."

Yun Jiao responded and went out.

The Ling Mansion covers a large area, with more than ten courtyards alone, as well as a garden, a kitchen, servants' quarters, and corridors leading in all directions. There are secret agents hiding in the dark in every position, watching every corner of the mansion day and night.

Ah Yu accompanied Yun Jiao and introduced as they walked:

"Miss Yun, this side is the garden, that courtyard is the west wing, and this is..."

Yun Jiao listened and glanced around casually, memorizing every road and every location.

As I walked, I arrived at the study.

Inside, there were faint sounds of conversation.

Yun Jiao saw it, her eyes turned slightly, and she suddenly said: "Ayu, I'm a little thirsty."

"Miss Yun, wait for me here for a while. I'll go get some tea and be back soon!"

"good."

As soon as An Yu left, Yun Jiao glanced around. It was near the study and there was no one else around. She walked in lightly without attracting anyone's attention.

Near the study.

In the study, a voice came:

"Sir, three days ago, the four major families met privately at Fengping Teahouse to discuss important matters. They wanted to join forces to fight against us."

"The four major families have been developing in Lanzhou City for three or four hundred years, but the Ling family has only been here for seven or eight years. Naturally, those people are not convinced that their own interests have been taken away by outsiders..."

The sound of cold conversations, discussing and arguing about important matters.

Then, Ling Che's cold voice sounded: "Join hands? Ha! I'll let them join forces and defeat them one by one. I'll start with the Yang family first!"

"Yang Qianxue is dead, Yang Wei is in trouble, I think the Yang family's fortunes are over!"

Outside.

When Yun Jiao heard this, her breathing tightened and she subconsciously took a half step back, tripped on the stairs and almost fell.

She quickly covered her mouth and hid behind a pillar.

Yang family?

He wanted to be hostile to the four major families, including the Yang family. Could it be that Yang Qianxue's death...

A bold idea gradually came to my mind and emerged...

If the person was really murdered, there would definitely be clues left behind. As long as these traces are found, they would be evidence, and wouldn't that prove Yang Wei's innocence?

Yun Jiao thought about this, pursed her lips, and prepared to look for evidence.

As soon as I turned around, I bumped into him.

“Hmm!”

She hit her head and took two or three steps back in pain. She steadied herself and looked up to see Ling Che standing silently behind her. She didn't know when he had come or how long he had been there. His deep eyes looked at her with a smile on his face:

"Why is Jiaojiao here?"
