Right now, the Yun family's control over the capital was very strong. When they put their all into doing something, they made a lot of progress.
Although the Yun family didn't refute the rumor itself, judging from how hard they were trying to track down the source of the rumor, it was obvious that the Yun family attached great importance to the matter.
The elders of the Yun Family had practically dispatched the majority of the elites under their command, mobilizing tens of thousands of people, to investigate the source of this rumor.
The source of the rumor was quickly pinpointed to a few taverns and teahouses.
These taverns and teahouses were all gathering places for wandering cultivators.
However, after pinpointing the source of the rumor, they found themselves in a difficult position.
After all, most wandering cultivators didn't have much of a relationship with each other. A wandering cultivator who showed up here today might not show up tomorrow.
It was impossible to find out who had spread the rumor.
The Fortune Tavern was one of wandering cultivators' favorite taverns. At this moment, the owner of the Fortune Tavern was so anxious that his head was full of bumps.
Yun Chao, the direct descendant of the Yun family's third elder and one of the most outstanding young geniuses in the family, had already declared that if they couldn't hand over the person who had started the rumor, the tavern would close down.
The Yun family also said that the rumor had started from the Fortune Tavern and two other taverns and teahouses.
This stumped the owner of the Fortune Tavern.
The enormous tavern had an endless stream of customers. It was open sixteen hours a day, and there were at least eight thousand if not ten thousand customers coming in and out every day.
He had no idea whether or not this rumor had originated from them.
Not to mention asking him to hand over the person.
Was he supposed to hand over a random person to be a scapegoat?
However, Yun Chao had already declared that the Fortune Tavern would be responsible for the consequences if a scapegoat was found.
The person who had started the rumor was very likely related to the death of the sixth elder. It was also very likely that the culprit was a remnant of the Jiang family.
In the current capital, anyone who had anything to do with the Jiang family was bound to meet with misfortune. Harboring a remnant of the Jiang family was definitely a major crime in the current capital.
Therefore, the Fortune Tavern was no longer in the mood to run its business. So all of them were gathered together and asked to recall what had happened that day.
As for the waiters in the tavern and teahouse, their greatest ability was to greet the guests and serve them tea. They were also good at memorizing faces and observing their expressions.
However, they received too many guests in a day. Although some of the guests were familiar to them, some of them were familiar to them.
But after all, it was impossible for every customer who came to drink in the tavern to remember it.
One by one, the workers racked their brains to recall the situation that day. There seemed to be some suspicious faces, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out who they were.
"Manager, there are thousands of customers coming in and out today. If it's someone spreading rumors, they'll definitely come once and won't come again. We've only met once, so how can we remember? Even if I remember it, I can't be sure unless I see it a second time. "
"All of you, shut up and think about it. The rumor spread early in the morning. There weren't many customers in the pub in the morning. Think about it carefully. Whoever can think of something and provide a useful clue, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. "
With a generous reward, there were bound to be brave men.
Moreover, if the Fortune Tavern was in trouble, it was very likely that the waiters would be implicated as well.
Therefore, the workers racked their brains and seriously thought about it.
A moment later, one of the workers suddenly slapped his thigh. "Manager, I remember something. There were two customers who came early. They asked for a table in the middle of the hall on the first floor. They were talking loudly there. At that time, many of the tables in the hall near the window and the corner were empty. I thought that those two were very strange. Why didn't they choose a table near the window, but a table in the middle of the aisle where there were many people going in and out? "
This was undoubtedly very valuable information. The manager was overjoyed. "Go on, go on. What did they look like? "
"Uh, these two people look like ordinary people. I only remember that one of them had a hairy mole on the side of his chin. The other one seemed to have eye problems and blinked at a higher frequency than ordinary people. Apart from that, I don't have much of an impression. "
The manager was extremely excited. "Good, this is a useful clue. Quickly think about it and try to think of more details. The more detailed, the better. As long as you tell Young Master Chao, maybe he will be happy and let our Fortune Tavern go. "
"Right, I seem to have heard them mention Tingyu Tower or something during their conversation. I didn't dare to listen carefully at that time. You also know that these martial artists are fierce. If they think I'm eavesdropping, I'm afraid they will slap me. "
"Tingyu Tower? Then did you hear them mention Bailu Mountain? "
"I think I vaguely heard it. I … I'm not sure. "
"Bullshit, what do you mean by 'seem'? Yes or no? This is very important! "
"Yes … yes!" The worker gritted his teeth. "I remember, they did talk about this. They also mentioned some treasure or inheritance."
The manager was overjoyed and grabbed the worker's chest. "Are you sure?"
"Yes," the worker said firmly.
"Good, I'll go see Young Master Chao." The manager was overjoyed.
Soon, this news was passed to Yun Chao's ears. He stared at the manager coldly. "Are you sure these two people are the source of the rumor?"
"I … I'm not 100% sure. But there were no other suspicious guests in the early morning. And they deliberately chose a place beside the aisle where there were many people coming and going. This proves that they deliberately let the people next to them hear this news. "The manager trembled with fear.
Yun Chao suddenly stood up and stared at the manager coldly. "Remember this beating first. If you can't find these two people, I'll burn down your Fortune Tavern."
"Come on, go to Tingyu Tower!" Yun Chao ordered his men and aggressively went to Tingyu Tower.
Since those two people mentioned Tingyu Tower, Yun Chao still refused to let go of the favorable clue, no matter whether it was true or not.
Yun Chao's men were obviously extremely arrogant. As soon as they arrived at Tingyu Tower, they surrounded it from top to bottom. He called the procuress aside. "Go, call out all the living people in Tingyu Tower. Whether they are girls or guests, don't leave anyone out. I'll give you half an hour. If you don't come out, don't blame my Yun family for offending you. "
Half an hour was not long, but who dared to be negligent when they heard that it was Yun family's search?
