Chapter 175: The eldest sister's family was kidnapped
In the end, Yun Yiduo and the others still couldn't see their relatives, because the secret guards were worried that they would do something impulsive after seeing their relatives. The secret guards secretly delivered the pills prepared by Yun Yiduo to everyone in the prison car, and when the old Duke received the pills, he knew that his grandchildren were following the prison car all the way.
"Alas, it seems that even though Ling'er didn't meet them, they still came. I'm afraid the trip to Tianjing City is not a good thing for them!"
The old Duke put away the pills, feeling worried. The biting cold wind blew, and he could resist the coldness of his body, but he couldn't resist the vague uneasiness in his heart.
The prison car soon arrived at Tianjing City and entered through the bustling South Gate, attracting many eyes along the way.
When people heard that this was the family of Lin Ziqiao, who had betrayed the country in the north and became the consort of Liu Shuo, someone started throwing a vegetable leaf at the old duke, followed by countless rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs thrown at the prison van.
In a restaurant on Chang Street, Yun Yiduo could no longer sit still after seeing this. Have these people forgotten who worked hard to make their lives better and better, and who generously donated money to save them from disasters?
Like her, her fourth and seventh sisters could not stay either. The old Duke was as big as a mountain in their hearts, and they could not tolerate their parents and grandfather being humiliated in this way.
The three people stood up and were about to go over, but were stopped by Yun Feiyang, Cen Song and others.
"Fourth sister, Seventh sister, Duoduo, this is obviously someone secretly controlling it. Those people have no idea what they are doing?"
"But...we can't just stand by and watch our grandfather, father, and mother be humiliated!"
The seventh sister's tears had already burst, the fourth sister's eyes were also red, and Yun Yiduo's eyes were also red as she looked at the direction where the prisoner's car was coming from. My grandfather was such a proud person, how uncomfortable he must feel to be treated like this.
Her eyes were fixed on the prison van, and when her grandfather's eyes met hers, he suddenly shook his head at her.
"grandfather!"
Yun Yiduo took a few steps forward, her voice was loud, but it was no match for the abuse and noise along the street, and the old Duke heard her shouting. The old Duke shook his head at her again, then gently closed his eyes and let the filth be thrown on him.
Yun Yido stared blankly at the prison van going away, and tears finally fell.
At this time, a secret guard dressed as an ordinary person jumped to the crowd and saluted Yun Feiyang.
"My Lord, the old Duke has asked me to bring a message to you all. He said: When you arrive in Tianjing City, please do not cause trouble and give your grandfather a good send-off."
"what?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Is that what grandpa meant?
"Prince, Princess, the Dragon Guards have already been recalled. They entered the city with such fanfare this time, I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion can't be saved."
"What do you mean... can't be saved? The emperor wants to kill my grandfather?"
Hearing this, even Yun Feiyang lost his composure. Don’t the Grandfather and the Emperor trust the Lin family very much? Shouldn’t they wait until the situation in the North is fully revealed before making a decision?
The secret guard saw the burning fire in Yun Feiyang's angry eyes, and his heart moved slightly. He turned his head to look at Cen Song, who exuded a dangerous aura, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
This matter was not something he could control. His duty was to dissuade these people from causing trouble in Tianjing City because of this matter. However, it seemed that these people were not easy to persuade!
"Everyone, you should know that thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. The old Duke has also made plans for the worst. You just need to listen to the Duke's arrangements."
The secret guard said everything he had to say, and as he watched the changing expressions of the crowd, he became secretly worried, and quickly disappeared into the crowd to report to the old Duke.
The whole room was silent, and everyone was confused. Suddenly, after Cen Song sat down, he said to them:
"At worst, we can break into the prison and get the Duke out."
Cen Song said it very casually, as if jailbreaking was just a visit to someone's house. When he said this, no one rushed to refute him, but instead they were all thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
In the end, it was the fourth sister who shook her head first.
"Even if we go to jailbreak, Grandfather won't go with us."
Seventh sister and Yun Yiduo nodded. Grandfather was an upright man, very loyal to the emperor. I'm afraid what he wanted in his heart was that if the emperor wanted him to die, he would die peacefully.
"Perhaps, things are not as bad as we thought. I can disguise myself as a young eunuch and go to the palace to inquire."
Seventh sister was relatively calm. The only solution she could think of was to get more information first. Yun Feiyang shook his head and said to Seventh sister:
"Sister Seven, there is no need to take risks. I will find out the news."
Yun Nian, who had been silent, also said:
"We at Yueyin Villa also have a news network in the capital, I can go and ask around."
Soon, everyone divided the tasks. Yun Feiyang went to contact the information organization under Polang, Yun Nian went to find out the news about Yueyin Villa, and Cen Song wanted to follow, but was forced by her to protect Yun Yido and the fourth and seventh sisters.
Yun Yiduo wanted to go to the Shangshu Mansion to investigate the situation. It was said that after the news of Ninth Brother's incident came out, the eldest brother-in-law was suspended from his post and was surrounded by soldiers.
However, when Cen Song brought the three sisters to the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, they did not see any soldiers guarding it. The Shangshu Mansion seemed exceptionally quiet.
"You three wait here for a moment. I'll go in and check it out first."
Cen Song told the three sisters to hide in the dark while he went into the mansion first. But a moment later, Cen Song came back with a gloomy face and shook his head at the three sisters.
"The mansion is empty and dusty. It has probably been three or four days since anyone has lived there."
"Could it be that even my eldest sister's family was implicated and their property was confiscated?"
After hearing this, Seventh Sister became even more anxious. This situation was really too bad.
"It wasn't a house search. Everything in the house was well preserved, and there was no seal on the door. It looked like someone had robbed it."
Cen Song expressed his guess, but even he himself felt that it was absurd. The Shangshu Mansion was so big, even if the population was small, there must be a hundred people, how could it be robbed all of a sudden.
"Auntie, let's go in and take a look."
Yun Yiduo also felt a little strange, so she wanted to go and see what was going on. Cen Song nodded and brought Yun Yiduo to the Shangshu Mansion.
Arriving at her eldest sister's room, Yun Yiduo checked it out and found nothing unusual inside. She and Cen Song looked around and frowned when they saw the burnt incense ash.
"Duoduo, what did you find?"
"This incense should be the masterpiece of a poison maker. Sister-in-law, let's split up and check if all the bedrooms have this kind of incense."
The two siblings acted separately, investigating along the way, and finally came to a conclusion and reunited with their fourth and seventh sisters.
"My eldest sister and her family were kidnapped. They put aphrodisiacs in the rooms, and even the servants' rooms were not spared."
