Chapter 318 Leave No One Alive!
Just as Lianyin snatched the letter from the other person, a gaze came from behind her, and she froze.
"Haha, hahaha, young master, I've brought the letter for you!"
She hurriedly handed the letter to the young master.
"This letter is very thin; it seems like you didn't bring anything with you?"
Lianyin craned her neck, trying to see what was inside.
Young Master Jun shook his head helplessly and opened the envelope.
A ripe ear of grain fell out from inside.
"What's this?"
Lianyin asked curiously.
Young Master Jun's eyes softened, and he smiled, "It's tassels. It should be the paddy fields in Linjia Village. They're starting to bear fruit."
"Miss Yun Zhao is telling you, young master, that life in Lin Family Village is getting better and better!"
Lianyin really liked this little dumpling, and for a moment she even missed it.
"Although the second young master of the Xu family isn't very reliable, he's got a lot of clever ideas."
Young master, should we bring the person into Listening to the Rain Pavilion? Our focus is currently on the Northwest.
"Young Master Luo has to manage both the capital and Lingnan simultaneously; this is too difficult."
Recently, Luo Xiran has been sending letters, each time accusing the young master of treating human life like dirt.
"Third Brother is just lazy and doesn't want to do so much."
"That's for sure, he used to be the laziest one in the family..."
The words were on the tip of her tongue when Lianyin quickly stopped herself.
If it weren't for that incident back then, the young master would still be growing up carefree under his parents' protection.
Why should someone so young have to travel around so much?
"Young Master, Lian Yin misspoke and accepts punishment!"
She blurted out things she shouldn't have said in a moment of carelessness.
"Alright, I'm not Third Brother, so I don't need to be so formal. Please sit down."
Young Master Jun lowered his eyes and opened the letter from Lingnan.
What he wanted to say, besides reporting that he was safe, was about the war in the North.
"The Ling family? That Marquis of Dingyuan didn't seem to have any special abilities back in the capital, so why does he suddenly have so many ideas now that he's in Lingnan?"
"Young master, is it true or false that Ling Xuerou has precognitive dreams, as you've heard?"
Lianyin found it strange.
Are there really people in this world who have the ability to foresee the future?
"Even the Lian family, who are experts in feng shui and divination, have never heard of such a person. Is there such a capable person?"
Furthermore, if Ling Xuerou truly possessed precognitive dreams, why didn't she help her family avoid exile?
Young Master Jun shook his head.
He didn't believe Ling Xuerou had any precognitive dreams.
"Not everyone was unaware of the Loulan King's case back then. Perhaps the Marquis of Dingyuan didn't know about it through some channel."
They learned my identity, but they weren't exactly loyal subjects.
My secret is meaningless to them; on the contrary, I possess the Listening Rain Pavilion, and they want it.
Furthermore, I believe that the Ling family likely did not inform the Prince of Yue that I am Wei Jingchen.
Otherwise, given the King of Yue's modus operandi, he might very well use the Wei family to threaten me.
Thinking of this, Young Master Jun gave further instructions.
"Keep a close eye on Linjia Village. If the King of Yue makes any big moves, take the people away directly."
It's better to live in anonymity than to die unjustly.
"Alright, young master, don't worry, I'll have the brothers keep a close eye on things."
Just as Young Master Jun had predicted, not long after, the King of Yue's men found a shop called Tingyu Pavilion and gave them a note.
There was only one word written on it.
The character "楼" (lou, meaning building/building).
Tingyu Pavilion has many shops, so it's impossible that they are all Young Master Jun's confidants.
Fortunately, they were worried that something was amiss, so they reported the note.
Soon, the note reached Lianyin's hands.
Lianyin's expression changed drastically upon seeing it, and she hurriedly took it to find the young master.
"Young master, would you like to meet the other party?"
The character "楼" likely refers to the King of Loulan.
"No, if he wants Tingyu Pavilion, he will never reveal that I am Wei Junyan. Let's leave it for now and see how they react."
Young Master Jun suppressed the matter and instructed his subordinates to act as if nothing had happened.
Just as he expected.
Just a few days later, the other party couldn't resist and went to the shop again.
“Tell your master the truth he wants to know, and I will tell him.”
The other person looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Did you hear me? You know nothing, yet you reported this to your master. He'll send you to me!"
He slapped the table in a bit of a hurry, only to be met with an eye roll from the other person.
"Men, throw them out of here!"
"What is that?!"
He never expected that Tingyu Pavilion would kick him out directly.
Several men from Northwest China grabbed him and threw him out.
"Whoa! Why did this guy get hit?"
"Are you afraid they're trying to dine and dash?"
People gathered around to watch the spectacle.
The people from the Yue Prince's mansion quickly covered their faces and fled as if they were escaping.
"What kind of information is this! Has our master been deceived?"
He cursed and swore as he relayed the news back to the capital.
Yuan Fu glanced at the three members of the Ling family in front of him with an ugly expression as he looked at the secret letter from the Prince of Yue, which was also full of curses.
Ling Xuerou sat there confidently, just waiting to receive her new identity.
"Lord Yuan, how is it? Does the Prince have any good news?"
Ling Ruofeng slightly raised his chin and addressed him as "My Lord," but there was no respect in his tone.
Yuan Shuchang sneered inwardly, but his expression quickly returned to normal.
"You've come all the way from Lingnan, you must be tired. Please go and rest."
After saying this, Yuan Shuchang glanced at his son and quickly ordered someone to make arrangements.
After his family left, Yuan Yongze bowed slightly and lowered his voice, asking, "Father, what did the Prince of Yue say?"
"The King of Yue is becoming increasingly outrageous; he actually believes in a child's prophetic dreams."
The Listening Rain Pavilion didn't buy into that at all; the people sent by the King of Yue were simply kicked out.
Yuan Shuchang sneered.
"Father, do you really think the King of Yue has the ability to seize that throne?"
Of all the late emperor's sons, the most capable was none other than the Prince of Jin.
Next up is the current emperor.
As for the King of Yue, if his uncle wasn't General Zhenyuan, he wouldn't even be considered by others.
"Who seizes the throne is none of our concern; as long as we make money steadily, that's all that matters."
What you should be most worried about right now is Liuxianlou. Has Yuan Qinghuai been found yet?
If the things at Liuxianlou get out...
There's no need for the King of Yue to seize the throne; the father and son won't see the sun rise the next day!
Yuan Yongze's expression was rather unpleasant.
“That person has vanished into thin air; we can’t find him at all. I’ve already had people keeping an eye on our family, and they haven’t had any contact with outsiders at all.”
"Is there a funeral being held?"
"No, I suspect they know where Yuan Qinghuai is, and that he's safe."
Otherwise, if the eldest son were missing, why would they be so quiet, showing no intention of searching for him at all!
"This matter must not be known to the King of Yue. Have those men killed now. The news that they served the King of Yue must not be allowed to spread!"
Yuan Shuchang made a quick decision to kill him to silence him.
"Father, those are the ones the King of Yue is most satisfied with. What if he comes back to us? How will we explain this?"
The King of Yue was picky, and there weren't many people who could satisfy him.
"Just say he died of a cold. He wouldn't hold a grudge against me over a few people. People from Liuxianlou used to be here."
If they're all killed, without them as evidence, even if Yuan Qinghuai manages to spread the news...
This is all baseless speculation and will only result in them making unfounded accusations against members of the royal family.
Unable to find Yuan Qinghuai, he had no choice but to eliminate him completely!
