In the blink of an eye, the elite Steel Cavalry led by Jiang Shijian surrounded the walls of the Yun Residence.
As far as the eye could see, there were at least a few thousand of them, which was equivalent to one-tenth of the entire patrol force.
The patrol force, numbering in the tens of thousands, was stationed at the outskirts of Yuzhou City all year round and had never entered the city.
This was the first time that thousands of soldiers were deployed to Yuzhou City.
This was enough to prove that the Jiang Family was determined to deal with the Yun Family!
Not only that, Yun Xiaoyao also noticed that there were many familiar faces mixed in among the Steel Cavalry.
These familiar faces were obviously the Jiang Family Elders and Deacons.
Many of the Jiang Family Elders and Deacons disguised themselves as the Steel Cavalry of the patrol force and blended in with them. They would then attack the Yun Family in the name of the patrol force.
It had to be said that the Jiang Family had played this move brilliantly.
Just as the Yun Family members were feeling uneasy, the sound of galloping horses came from afar.
Everyone turned around to look in the direction of the voice, only to see an army rampaging through the streets, charging towards the Yun Family's main gate.
Some of the troops were on horseback, while others were on foot. Some were wielding swords, while others were wielding axes and hammers. The weapons were varied and varied, and their attire was not uniform either. It was a messy sight, giving off the impression that they were not a regular army.
The one leading this army was a middle-aged man with a gaze as sharp as a blade and a terrifying murderous aura emanating from him.
The middle-aged man wore a suit of black armor and had an eye-catching scar on his face. The scar stretched from his forehead to his left eye, all the way to the corner of his mouth, making him look even more ferocious.
The Yun Family members paled at the sight of this knife-scarred man.
This knife-scarred man was the current head of the Ye Family – Ye Wudao.
The army that Ye Wudao was leading was naturally the Ye Family's private army.
A private army that did not belong to the country was called a private army. In a sense, a private army and a mercenary army were the same.
The Ye Family was the largest private army in Yuzhou. While it was not as large as the regular army that the Jiang Family controlled, it still had more than ten thousand men.
The patrol force that the Jiang Family had brought was enough to threaten the Yun Family. If the Ye Family's private army were to interfere, then the Yun Family would be doomed.
In the blink of an eye, the Ye Family's private army rushed to the Yun Family mansion. Together with the patrol army, they surrounded the Yun Family mansion so tightly that not even a fly could escape.
Ye Wudao stopped his horse in front of the Yun Family's gate and declared righteously, "The Yun Family has no respect for the law and has committed a heinous crime. Everyone should punish them! Although my Ye Clan is a private army, we are in Yuzhou City. How can we not contribute to the stability of Yuzhou City? "
Even the usually calm Yun Xiaoyao subconsciously clenched his fists when he heard Ye Wudao's words.
Yuzhou City restricted the entry of troops. However, in just one day, not only the Jiang Family's patrol army, but even the Ye Family's private army had quietly sneaked into the city.
It was obvious that they had already colluded with the Long Family!
Because the officials in charge of supervising the city gates were all from the Long family.
With the Three Great Families working together to deal with the Yun Family, the Yun Family would not be able to escape even if they grew wings!
"In the face of the righteous laws of the kingdom, all forces of evil shall be crushed. Yun Xiaoyao, I advise the Yun Family to give up resistance and surrender to the kingdom's laws! "Jiang Shijian drew his sword from his back and put on a righteous look.
"Rein in at the brink of a precipice, repent and be saved! Yun Xiaoyao, if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being rude! " Ye Wudao also pretended to advise him and drew a huge sword from his back, looking like he was about to go all out.
Faced with their 'kind advice', Yun Xiaoyao only sneered mockingly.
Give up resistance, surrender and accept the kingdom's laws?
If he really gave up resistance and surrendered, what awaited the Yun Family would be the merciless torture of the Three Great Families!
The so-called kingdom's laws were only an excuse the Three Great Families used to deal with the Yun Family. If they really accepted the kingdom's laws, the Yun Family would be stretching their necks out to be executed!
Just as the atmosphere was tense, the voice of an old man filled with sarcasm rang in the Yun Family mansion.
"For something that has nothing to do with you, the two family heads are willing to put in so much effort. You are truly the embodiment of justice!"
The crowd followed the voice and looked into the Yun Family mansion, only to see an old man with white eyebrows slowly walking out of the mansion.
This white-browed old man was, of course, Bai Juyi, who had played chess with Yun Xiaoyao at the Yun Family mansion.
Jiang Shijian was not surprised to see Bai Juyi here.
Bai Juyi was Yun Ruoxi's master and had a deep friendship with Yun Xiaoyao. His appearance here today was completely within Jiang Shijian's expectations.
Jiang Shijian looked at Bai Juyi coldly and said in a persuasive tone, "Elder Bai Juyi, as a core elder of the Yu State Martial House, you must cherish your reputation."
"The Yun Family has committed such an atrocious act that the heavens and earth are enraged and the people want to punish them. I advise you not to get involved in this mess, lest you lose your reputation and your integrity in your old age! "
Hearing Jiang Shijian's words, Bai Juyi sneered mockingly. "First, they secretly poisoned the Yun Family, then they sent the law enforcement team to the Yun Family to arrest them. When the Yun Family attacked the law enforcement team, the patrolling guards and the Ye Family's private army swarmed in, filled with righteous indignation. All of this is like a prearranged script. "
"From the perspective of the kingdom's laws, the patrolling guards and the Ye Family's private army have no right to attack the Yun Family. However, under the delicate arrangement of this script, the patrolling guards and the Ye Family's private army attacking the Yun Family became doing their best for the peace of Yuzhou City. This plan is truly flawless. Wonderful, wonderful! "
With a few words, Bai Juyi revealed the three noble families' plan and revealed the truth.
For a moment, many people began to ponder this question.
The Yun Family had just attacked the law enforcement team, and the patrolling guards had immediately rushed to the scene. How could there be such a coincidence?
It was one thing for the patrolling guards to rush to the scene, but the Ye Family's private army had coincidentally joined in at this time.
As long as one was not an idiot, one would be able to guess that this was obviously prearranged!
Just as the people were deep in thought, another voice came from the crowd.
"Bai Juyi, what benefits did the Yun Family give you? How dare you exonerate them like this! "
Following this voice, an old man leaped out from the crowd. In the blink of an eye, he flew over the heads of more than ten people and landed in front of the Yun Family's main gate.
This was a white-haired, skinny old man. Originally, he had a sage-like demeanor, but now his image was ruined by a pair of dead fish eyes.
"Bragging Simon, you still dare to come?" Seeing that it was Bragging Simon, Bai Juyi was a little surprised.
Bragging Simon had no enmity with the Yun Family. The reason he was here was to capture Lin Yun's sister, Lin Ying.
