Chapter 180 Why bother getting involved in this muddy water
Prince Qing's words made everyone feel a chill in their hearts. Even raising private soldiers would not be punished? Then the Huo family was really too capable.
"But what is their purpose in arresting my eldest sister's family?"
The fourth sister asked a good question. Everyone was silent. Finally, someone turned his eyes to Cen Song, who had met Shangshu's family. Cen Song looked at everyone without saying anything, but recalled the situation when he met Shangshu.
At that time, he walked into a different cave entrance than Yun Feiyang. There were many twists and turns there, and there seemed to be several forked roads. He followed the guidance of the light and saw a cave that looked like a prison. The cave was very deep, and he did not go inside, but looked directly at the prison.
The prison was packed with people, and the most eye-catching ones were the Shangshu family. They were all wearing thin clothes, and it seemed that they were brought out while they were asleep.
"Lord Shangshu?"
When he asked the question, everyone looked at him. Some even started to ask who he was. He quickly gestured to everyone to keep quiet, and after everyone was quiet, he asked the Shangshu:
"Sir, do you know who brought you here?"
"Alas, it's the Huo family. Humph, a bunch of despicable villains, asking for too much and being greedy."
Shangshu sneered at the Huo family, and Cen Song certainly agreed with him. He went forward to unlock the prison door, but heard a sound coming from the cave and hid in the dark.
"Today is a big day. Our business will be done soon. Once the people are sent here, we can set off for Muzhou."
Two men holding lanterns came out from the depths of the cave, looked at the imprisoned Connivance, snorted coldly, and then hurried away, as if they were just doing a simple patrol.
Cen Song came out from the darkness and whispered to them:
"I'll let you out."
As he was about to hit the lock, he heard Minister Duan say:
"No hurry. We have been here for three days and these people have not made any moves. It seems that they are waiting for an opportunity. Now that you have rescued us, I am afraid that we will not have the chance to learn their purpose."
"But, this cave is cold and gloomy. Are you all right?"
"No problem."
Shangshu said it was okay, and turned to look at his wife and children with pity. Finally, Duan Wenxuan said:
"Since you are here, I guess my aunt is also in the capital. Bo'er has been poisoned by smoke and has not woken up. Could you please, Uncle Song, take Bo'er to see my aunt?"
Duan Wenxuan said as he picked up the child from Jiang's side and carefully handed him out of the prison door. Cen Song looked at the little ball, took it awkwardly, pulled the child into his pocket, then nodded to the Shangshu and left.
"Sister-in-law?"
Yun Yiduo called Cen Song, and Cen Song immediately said:
"Minister Duan said that the Huo family is greedy and that they seem to be waiting for an opportunity. And the guard in the cave mentioned that they would go to Muzhou after the person was sent."
"Are you sure it's Muzhou?"
In order to confirm what she was thinking, Yun Yiduo asked Cen Song again. Cen Song believed that he had not heard wrong, so he repeated:
"Muzhou."
"Muzhou?"
Yun Feiyang kept talking about Muzhou, and seemed to be convinced of his own thoughts. He looked at his sisters and brothers-in-law, and said to himself:
"If it's Muzhou, then it's very likely that grandpa is not dead, but was taken away by the Huo family."
"Feiyang, are you sure?"
The sisters were so excited that they clenched their hands, and even the brothers-in-law looked surprised.
"Brother, please go and find out whether the person who asked the emperor for permission to change the death penalty from beheading to hanging today is from the Huo family."
"it is good!"
Cen Song turned around and prepared to leave, and Yun Nian followed closely behind. At this time, everyone was still immersed in excitement, thinking that it would be great if their grandfather was still alive.
At this moment, Yun Feiyang suddenly looked at the sisters and asked:
"Sisters, if you are sure that grandpa is still alive, can you go back to your own homes, live a good life, and stop asking about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion?"
"Why?"
The second sister looked at Yun Feiyang with confusion on her face. Although she was a married woman, she still had a say in her husband's family. Her husband's family was the leader of the Cao Gang, and had some subtle relationships with the underworld and the court, so they should be able to help.
"Because the Huo family's plan is too big, it involves many secrets of the Yun clan. If the sisters are involved, it will be difficult to get out of it, and it may even lead to their own deaths."
"Brother Yang, do you think that I will back off because of this? They are just a family like the Huo family. Can they really defeat the royal family?"
Prince Qing looked displeased when he heard Yun Feiyang's words. Although he had little presence among the many brothers-in-law, that was just because he was low-key. After all, he was the dignified Prince Qing and could not be controlled by this brother-in-law who showed up out of nowhere.
"Sixth brother-in-law, what my brother means is that to fight against the Huo family, a Duke's Mansion is enough. There is no need to involve the husband's family of my sisters."
Yun Yiduo's call of "Sixth Brother-in-law" calmed down the anger of the King of Qing, and the sisters understood what she said. She and Yun Feiyang were considering the future of the sisters.
"Duoduo, your third brother-in-law's family is far away, so he can't help much, but your third brother-in-law is good at kung fu and is good at studying strange formations, so maybe he can help."
"We can help without involving the family and just act as the daughter and son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion."
The third sister Lin Yiran and her husband Hua Wuyin came over hand in hand, with a very firm attitude. At this time, the second sister and her husband also came over and said:
"My second brother-in-law may not be good at other things, but he is good at swimming and martial arts. He also has many brothers and will listen to my tenth brother's arrangements at any time."
Then Kong Chaoyang also said:
"The Kong family doesn't have much else, but they still have a lot of money."
Seeing this, King Qing smiled and looked at Yun Feiyang and said:
"I have nothing, but I have a team of green soldiers. Although they are small in number, they can be used by you."
"As for me, all the forces in Yueyin Villa are ready to obey my orders at any time."
At this time, a person walked in from outside the room. It was the late Dongfang Xiang. He looked at the crowd and did not have time to greet everyone one by one. He just said anxiously:
"My aunt asked me to tell you not to go to the capital, but it seems I am a little late."
"Alas, sisters and brothers-in-law, why bother to wade into this muddy water!"
"We are all one family, why should we have different opinions?"
The second sister held Yun Feiyang's hand. She felt that he was almost the same age as her own child, but she couldn't help but feel distressed that he had to endure so much.
"In that case, I will explain the cause and effect of the matter to you all."
Yun Feiyang slowly told the story about the Yun Clan and the grudges between the Huo family and the Yun Clan, which left everyone dumbfounded. They had never heard of anything like spiritual weapons and blood sacrifices.
"The Huo family wants the blood jade, but they are not just after the Central Plains. They have influence in Dachong, Liushuo, and Lingqiong. What they are after is too big."
