Chapter 285 Send him a big gift!
"You must have been observing us for a long time, right? Our daily routines are very regular."
They would go to sleep when it got dark, and then lead the villagers to work on the riverbed when it got light.
You must be wondering why we're staying up so late tonight.
And why did the tiger, who always stayed next door, suddenly appear here, right?
Yunxuan's eyes were curved, and his gentle aura made people feel good about him.
What do you mean by this?
The man in black finally couldn't help but ask a question in return.
"So that you can die in peace."
Yunxuan casually lifted the blanket off her lap and looked up at him.
"What happened today was a trap we set up."
Um?
Which "we" are we?
Standing next to the man in black, Xu Yifei looked up at his brother-in-law with a puzzled expression.
Does my brother-in-law's use of "we" not include him?
He turned to look at his father.
Could it be something you did behind his back?
Seeing that his father and Lu Li both looked calm, Xu Yifei quickly adopted the same expression.
Trying to fit in with everyone.
Sure enough, the man in black's expression changed several times.
He had already begun to have doubts.
"Obviously you've understood as well; it must be that your master is worried about the Grand Tutor's return to the capital."
My elder brother was persuaded by the Grand Tutor to exonerate me, so he was eager to get rid of me.
But fearing my daughter's ability to control beasts, they wanted to use this letter to test my true intentions.
"You poor thing, you know nothing."
Yunxuan's face showed pity.
The man in black then realized what was happening.
No wonder Xu Qingyi is in poor health and goes to bed early every day.
But today, I've been staying outside the hospital for so long.
The person who was keeping watch didn't even see such a big tiger, which led to his arrest.
It turns out I was just bait!
"Let me guess, is your master perhaps the King of Yue?"
The man in black was still preoccupied with the fact that he had been tricked when he suddenly heard his master's name and instinctively looked up.
"no!"
Yunxuan immediately smiled.
"It seems to be my fifth brother."
Man in black: ...
He began to suspect that what Yunxuan had told him before was all a setup.
Xu Yifei reacted instantly.
My brother-in-law was lying to that person earlier!
Oh dear, he was so scared that he thought he had been excluded.
“There are two of your friends next door, take them over.”
"Okay!"
Xu Yifei picked the person up and carried him away.
After everyone had been seen off, Xu Zhenbang asked, "What are you planning to do next?"
We can't keep supporting a few assassins forever, can we?
And this letter might make the King of Yue suspect that he has been exposed.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the courtyard.
Hua Hua, who had been sitting obediently, suddenly darted out, startling everyone.
"Father, Mother!"
When Yun Zhao's voice came, Xu Qingyi was overjoyed.
"Zhaozhao?"
She took a few steps towards the door, and Yun Zhao had already ridden the tiger into the courtyard.
"Mother, something's happened at home?!"
Yun Zhao nervously looked around.
Apart from Xu Zhenbang and his group, everyone else was stopped outside the courtyard by Zhichun and his companions.
However, no one was found to be injured inside the hospital.
"It's nothing, it's just that some men in black are trying to frame your father."
"You've been caught by Hua Hua! Why are you back so late?"
Xu Qingyi looked her daughter up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not injured.
Wei Jingchen walked in from outside.
"We took a longer route to avoid being noticed, so we're back a little late. Let's go inside and talk!"
After the group entered the house, Wei Jingchen brought back the news from Fengyun City.
"There should be more than just Xu Jiajie as a spy around the Yuan family. The news that Zhaozhao can control beasts has probably already reached the capital."
Yunxuan frowned.
Wei Mingde, who was standing to the side, found this test very strange.
"Given the death of the eldest son of the Qi family, the Qi family is unlikely to make a move now that the Grand Tutor is returning to the capital."
This probing was undoubtedly conducted by the King of Yue, but the Yuan family under his command suffered heavy losses.
Why would he suddenly test you at this critical juncture? This is unusual.
Yun Zhao nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, their entire ship was stolen, and Fengyun City changed hands."
"You should be very anxious, why are you going after your father instead?"
In particular, the Yuan family lost everything on their entire ship.
Anyone would suspect there was a spy involved, right?
Shouldn't we investigate the internal situation immediately?
Why are you targeting the Prince of Jin, who has already lost power?
"Could it be that he's not trying to test the Prince, but rather trying to transfer Lord He away from Guanzhou?"
Wei Jingchen had a sudden inspiration and remembered the matter in Guanzhou.
"Liangzhen has no government office; the nearest official is the prefect of Guanzhou."
If the prince were to be falsely accused of treason, it would surely be Lord He who would interrogate him.
We previously helped Lord He in Guanzhou, and he trusts the Prince's character.
He will definitely come in person to investigate who framed him. If something happens in Guanzhou at this time,
Lord He cannot escape punishment, and since there is no new prefect for the time being, the prefectural magistrate of Guanzhou will take over.
If maritime trade is opened at that time, officials from Kwun Chau will be in charge of the Lingnan maritime trade.
Everyone immediately understood.
The Yuan family suffered a series of misfortunes, the Hu family's gambling den was destroyed, and the Li family's gambling house was directly taken from the hands of the King of Yue.
The King of Yue desperately needed a huge source of income.
Otherwise, how could he have supported such a massive undertaking as usurping the throne?
"The more he acts up, the easier it will be for His Majesty to find fault with him."
The man who stole the Yuan family's entire ship of goods has been a great help to us.
Yunxuan smiled.
Yun Zhao was secretly pleased. He sat in the chair, and his short legs started to swing unconsciously.
"Why is Zhaozhao so happy?"
Xu Qingyi pinched her daughter's little face.
"Father said that person helped us a lot, of course I'm happy! Fifth Imperial Uncle is so bad, he should be punished!"
Yun Zhao nodded heavily.
Looking at his daughter's smiling face, Yunxuan's eyes revealed the same cunning as hers.
"Zhaozhao, how about we teach your Fifth Imperial Uncle a lesson too?"
"What does Father intend to do?"
Yun Zhao immediately perked up.
"We can't keep supporting those assassins for him forever."
Why not ask the Zhenyuan Escort Agency to help deliver them and this letter to the Yuan residence?
"Great idea!"
Xu Zhenbang slammed his hand on the table, completely agreeing with his statement.
“Send them another letter.”
Yunxuan smiled and unfolded the letter.
When the escort agency arrived at the gate of the Yuan residence with several large boxes, Yuan Shuchang was already annoyed. Seeing the boxes that had appeared out of nowhere made him even angrier.
"Look carefully, this is the prefectural government office, not some random place. Your goods must be returned to where they came from!"
"My lord, the head of the escort said that it is for Xu, the prefect of Yangzhou, Lord Yuan."
The bodyguards didn't care; the owner had paid them, but he wasn't allowed to open the package before they left.
They've already been delivered; we're not going to worry about anything else.
At this moment, Yuan Shuchang's son, Yuan Yongze, came out.
"Father, please accept it first."
Hearing his son say this, Yuan Shuchang suppressed his anger and kept the boxes of things.
After the bodyguards left, Yuan Shuchang asked, "Son, what are you thinking?"
“Father, the people we sent out a few days ago haven’t returned. I think these boxes of things are probably from the Prince of Jin.”
"What? Open it right now!"
Yuan Shuchang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ordered someone to tear off the seal.
Upon opening the box, they discovered it contained the very people they had sent out!
The man in black was unconscious, with a letter placed on his chest.
Upon opening the envelope, only one line of text was found inside.
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."
Yuan Shuchang was suddenly alarmed.
Could it be that the Prince of Jin knew everything they had done?!
Could it be that the cargo on that ship...?
