Chapter 327 Father, the Ling family are all bad guys!
Xu Qingyi picked up her son and coaxed him gently, "It's okay, we'll wait for your sister to come back at home!"
"It's cold, so cold! Waaah!"
He was so worried, but because of the poisoning, his body was developing too slowly and he couldn't speak clearly!
He dreamt that he was poisoned, and that his poor sister had been deceived by the Ling family and murdered!
Waaaaah, his poor sister, she must be careful of the Ling family!
"Whoa! Damn it!"
Looking at her son's struggling appearance, Yunxuan suddenly remembered the dream her daughter had mentioned.
"Little Jin, be good, Daddy will hug you!"
He took his son from his wife's arms and whispered in his ear, "Is Xiao Jin dreaming?"
Yun Huaijin's body stiffened, then his eyes lit up.
"Dad! Hmm!"
"So, it's the Ling family? The Ling family is bad, they'll harm my sister?"
Yunxuan asked tentatively.
"Ah! Yes! Bad!"
This thrilled Yun Huaijin.
Father understood everything!
Yunxuan suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Why do my daughter and son both dream about me, but he doesn't?
"What does Xiao Jin still remember?"
Different people have different dreams, so there must be some different clues, right?
"Hehe, I was tricked!"
Waaaaah, the brother who saved him was tricked by the Ling family!
To Yunxuan, these words were all fragmented pieces of information.
Why is she calling me "sister" one minute and "brother" the next?
"Xiao Jin, don't rush. In the future, you can tell your father whatever comes to mind. Take your time and talk to him slowly, okay?"
He coaxed gently.
"Um!"
Yun Huaijin nodded heavily.
He'll dream about it tonight!
Meanwhile, Yun Zhao and the others continued their journey.
Upon arriving near Xuyangzhou, Lu Xun headed straight for the mountainside.
Right there, there was a mountain keeper's house.
Red ribbons were hanging outside at that moment.
This is the code for the Li family's gambling den.
The red ribbon hanging up indicates that those present today are our own people.
Lu Xun lifted Yun Zhao down from the horse, and the people inside the house, hearing the commotion, were the first to open the door.
"Young Master!"
"Uncle Li Meng?"
This person was none other than Li Meng of Dongtang, the assistant that Li Dali left for her in Lingnan.
Although Yun Zhao is nominally the owner of the Li Family Gambling House, her second uncle is in charge of the accounts, and Li Dali is the one who does the work.
In Lingnan, she would only convene the hall masters once every two months.
This attack on the Yuan family involves Liuxianlou, and many of the Li family's gambling den's regular customers are also connected to them.
Yun Zhao then wrote a letter to Li Dali, asking him to come up with a way to transport her and the wild beast into Xuyangzhou.
Unexpectedly, it was the hall master himself who came.
“Xuyangzhou is, after all, a large city. Since it concerns the safety of our young master, Li Meng dared not be presumptuous and came here in person.”
"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Li Meng!"
The three of them entered the mountain guard's house. Inside, besides Li Meng, there were several thugs from the Li family gambling den.
“They are very familiar with the city gate guards, and this time they escorted the young master into the city.”
Li Meng gave them a brief introduction and then took out a map of Xuyang Prefecture.
“Based on the previous letter from Xiao Dongjia, we have been keeping watch near the Yuan residence, but we have not seen a family of three like the one Xiao Dongjia described coming in or out.”
Li Meng explained.
"They may have been placed under house arrest."
Lu Xun said.
"Yes, we also suspected that was the case, but there are new developments today."
Li Meng took out a letter and handed it to Yun Zhao.
"This was delivered this morning. As soon as the city gates opened, a troop of imperial soldiers entered the city."
I've already inquired; it's the Censor He Ting. They just entered the city not long ago.
A carriage from the Yuan family hurriedly emerged from the back gate and headed out of the city.
We've sent people to follow them, but so far there's been no further news, and we still don't know who they are.
"Censor-in-Chief?"
Yun Zhao found it somewhat strange.
This is not the period for maritime trade, so what are the censors doing here?
"Could it be that the King of Yue is planning to sacrifice the chariot to save the king?"
Lu Xun frowned and asked.
"The person who left the city was very likely Yuan Shuchang."
We can't just abandon the pawn to save the king, and Yuan Shuchang has to send the Ling family away, can we?
"Then let's hurry into the city!"
Whether it's the Ling family or Yuan Shuchang, they have to go and bring the person back.
If the Ling family falls into the hands of the censor, that would certainly be the best outcome.
“Alright, we’ve made preparations down the mountain. We can hide the goods and enter the city.”
Li Meng immediately arranged for them to descend the mountain.
Xu Yangzhou.
When the censor He Ting arrived at the Yuan residence, the gate was tightly closed, and it seemed that no one was there.
The Imperial Guards knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it.
Upon seeing this, He Ting immediately frowned.
"Break down the door!"
At a single command, the Imperial Guards smashed the gate open!
"search!"
The group quickly searched the Yuan residence.
A moment later, the Imperial Guards carried boxes of goods out of the storeroom.
"Sir, we found these in the storeroom!"
The Imperial Guards opened the chest, which was filled with gold and silver!
"Where would a prefect get so much money?"
He Ting asked the question knowingly, his face showing resentment.
"Outrageous! How dare they embezzle so much of the people's hard-earned money! Guards, take them out!"
He Ting gave a stern order, and the Imperial Guards carried the boxes out one by one.
A large crowd of people gathered outside to watch the spectacle.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw the boxes being carried out.
"It's all silver?"
"Good heavens, he embezzled so much?"
"I knew the Yuan family weren't good people! What kind of good people could run Liuxianlou!"
"You know what, Liuxianlou used to be quite nice."
"That was so many years ago!"
"I heard it's about the King of Yue?"
"No way? That's a prince!"
As soon as He Ting stepped out, he heard the people mentioning the King of Yue. He gave them a look, and they all shrank back and fell silent.
“Dissent against the royal family can land you in jail.”
Upon hearing this, the onlookers scattered in all directions.
"Sir, we've discovered the dungeon."
The Imperial Guards came out of the courtyard and whispered.
"Dungeon?"
He Ting's eyes darkened, and he turned and went back into the courtyard.
"lead the way."
The imperial guards led He Ting to the backyard, where they found a dungeon.
The smell inside was awful, so He Ting took a few steps and then returned to the ground.
Is anyone inside?
There is a family of three.
"A family of three?"
What's going on?
The King of Yue didn't mention anyone else who needed to be dealt with!
"Bring it up quickly!"
The Imperial Guards brought the man up, and He Ting recognized him at a glance.
"Marquis Dingyuan?"
Ling Ruofeng looked up, but for a moment he didn't recognize who the other person was.
"Who are you?"
"This is Censor He Ting."
Imperial Guard Road.
Ling Ruofeng's expression changed, and he instantly realized that something had happened to Yuan Shuchang.
"Sir! Arrest Yuan Shuchang immediately! He's holding us under house arrest and plans to kill us to cover it up!"
Regardless of which side the censor is on, as long as he doesn't implicate the Prince of Yue and shifts all the blame onto Yuan Shuchang, his family can save their lives!
"Weren't you exiled to Lingnan? Why are you at the Yuan residence?"
He Ting frowned.
Ling Ruofeng's heart skipped a beat.
This censor is not one of the King of Yue's men!
