A bolt of lightning tore through the sky and illuminated the lower world.
Heavy rain fell from the sky.
On the streets of Yuzhou City, busy vendors closed their stalls and hid in alleys to take shelter from the rain.
The entire city seemed to be covered with a hazy coat. The outline of the turrets appeared blurry in the rain.
In the pouring rain, a figure wearing a raincoat sneaked into the Jiang family courtyard and got into a small dark room as quickly as possible.
There was a young man in the small dark room who had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the figure in the raincoat coming in, he immediately asked: "Have you finished the matter that I told you?"
The figure in the raincoat nodded and spoke in a rough and hoarse bass voice: "I have done everything you asked me to do. Can I let my wife and children go now?!"
The young man shook his head and said coldly: "No, we can't let them go now."
"How do I know if you have really done it or are you fooling us? At least we will not let them go until we see the results."
The man in the raincoat pondered for a moment, and then pleaded in a compromised manner: "Then let me see them first. Is that okay?"
The young man still shook his head and said coldly: "No, I said, I won't let you see them until what you are doing is effective."
"You..." The man in the raincoat was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his mouth was full of smoke, but he did not dare to get angry.
The young man walked up to the man in the raincoat and patted his shoulder gently: "Don't worry, we have no enmity with them and will not harm them."
"After three days, as soon as the Yun family is destroyed, we will take the initiative to let them go..."
…
Three days later.
The Yun Family Mansion.
In the lobby filled with books, Yun Xiaoyao and Yun Ruoxi's master Bai Juyi were playing Go around a stone table.
Three days ago, Yun Xiaoyao had received the transmission message from Lin Yun and learned that the three major families might unite with Ximen Brag and besiege the Yun family together.
Now, the Yun family has already prepared for an attack, but the three major families have yet to take action.
"I don't know what these old guys are planning behind the scenes. They probably want to find a legitimate reason to deal with our Yun family." Yun Xiaoyao was a little undecided, his mind was not on the chessboard at all.
Bai Juyi consoled him: "The Yun family is one of the four major families in Yuzhou after all. If there is no justifiable reason, the three major families will directly join forces to get rid of the Yun family. There is no way to explain to the Marquis of Yuzhou, nor to Wang Zheng."
"So they won't attack the Yun family easily until they find sufficient reasons. Brother Yun doesn't need to worry too much."
Yun Xiaoyao said righteously: "I, the Yun family, sit upright and upright, and I am not afraid of the shadows twisting. How can I leave any clue for them to catch me?"
Just as Yun Xiaoyao finished speaking, a panicked shout came from afar.
"Master, something bad has happened!"
Yun Xiaoyao and Bai Juyi turned to look at the same time, and saw a guard running towards them at high speed.
"Why are you so panicked?" Yun Xiaoyao remained calm, obviously not surprised.
The guard said in a panic: "Something happened to the drug store. Customers who bought medicine were collectively poisoned. Now the family members are blocking the door and making trouble!"
The Yun family is a family of scholars, mainly engaged in academic research and rarely engaged in business.
The Yun family's drug store is one of the few commercial institutions under the Yun family.
The Yun family's pharmacy has technical support from Yunmen, and the quality of its medicines is absolutely guaranteed. The pharmacy has been open for many years and has always had a good reputation and has never had any problems.
But at this juncture today, there is a problem with the quality of the medicine, which is obviously framed by the enemy!
The medicinal materials in Yun Family Pharmacy have all been tested by Yunmen scholars. It is impossible for outsiders to poison them. The only possibility is that they come from internal traitors within Yunmen.
Thinking about this, Yun Xiaoyao felt chilled. Although he didn't know who betrayed the Yun family, this person must be his confidant.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Xiaoyao immediately stood up: "Get ready, I'll be there right away!"
…
The main entrance of the Yun family mansion.
A loud noise came from outside the door.
"Master Yun, you should come out and say something!"
"My father took the elixir sold by your Yun family and is still unconscious. If you don't resolve this matter today, I will never be done with your Yun family!"
"My brother ate the elixir sold by your Yun family, and now he is dead. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I...I will...I will fight to the death with you!"
"Give us justice! Give us justice!"
The gate of the Yun family's mansion was blocked, and the angry people raised their fists in the air and protested against the Yun family in unison.
Amidst the noisy protests, the door of the Yun family opened in half with a creaking sound.
A group of Yun family guards rushed out of the gate and stopped the excited people with their unsheathed sabers.
"Get out of the way! Let us in!"
"I'm going to go in and talk to the head of the Yun family for an explanation!"
"Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being violent!"
The people roared angrily, trying to forcefully break through the guards' defense line, and fierce conflicts broke out with the guards at the scene.
The elixirs sold in the Yun family medicine shop are all elixirs used for warriors to practice, so the customers are all warriors.
The realm of these warriors is not high, and their strength is not strong. But the hundreds of warriors on site add up to a considerable fighting force.
They join forces to cause trouble, and the Yun family's guards alone may not be able to stop them.
Just when the angry people were about to break through the defense line, a man wearing heavy armor suddenly landed in front of the gate.
"Who dares to act recklessly on the Yun family's territory!"
Accompanied by a rough and hoarse bass, the man kicked out several times, knocking away the people who broke through the defense line and were about to rush into the gate.
Seeing this man in heavy armor, the rest of the people showed fear and took two steps back.
Because this man wearing heavy armor is the new guard commander of the Yun family - Pang Guang.
Pang Guang's realm is a sixth-level warrior, which is higher than all the people present. When he comes out to control the situation, he is still very intimidating.
Pang Guang looked at the people with a stern face, and said coldly: "Don't make any noise, our master will be out soon, and he will give everyone a reasonable explanation."
As soon as Pang Guang finished speaking, Yun Xiaoyao walked out of the gate with Yun Ruoxi and all the elders and deacons of the Yun family.
Seeing Yun Xiaoyao, the angry people became extremely excited and shouted loudly to seek an explanation from Yun Xiaoyao.
Yun Xiaoyao scanned the whole place and found that many people were carrying unconscious people on their backs. These unconscious people had pale faces and purple corners, which was obviously caused by some kind of poison in their bodies.
