Chapter 505

A light carriage entered Guiyang City under the protection of a dozen family members. The carriage's bearings were shaky and the carriage creaked as it moved. There was a layer of dust on the tarpaulin and the guards' horses had long cloth parcels on them. This group of people must have traveled a long way.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted and the graceful face of a woman in her fifties appeared, "Is the Tribute Examinations time?"

A family member on horseback bowed and answered, "Madam, rest assured. I have just asked around and the Tribute Examinations are in two days. We are not late."

The woman's expression relaxed and she nodded, "That's good."

The family member said, "Madam, should we find an inn to rest for a while?"

The woman shook her head, "No! Let's go straight to the Yang Residence. "

The curtain of the carriage was lowered and the graceful expression on the woman's face disappeared, replaced by a look of apprehension. This woman was Yang Lin's wife. Since Yang Yinglong had summoned her, how could she dare not come? However, she had been on tenterhooks along the way, fearing that Yang Yinglong had already found out the truth about her killing Yaoyao's mother.

If she had known about the relationship between Yaoyao's mother and Yang Yinglong, she would not have dared to harm her. Unfortunately, she only found out the truth when Yaoyao's mother was poisoned to death.

When Yaoyao's mother was on the verge of death, Madame Yang threatened to kill her little bastard as well. Yaoyao's mother told Madame Yang the truth so that Madame Yang would have some reservations. Madame Yang was truly terrified. She did not expect Yang Yinglong to have hooked up with this reclusive Madam Ru after only staying in her residence for a month.

After Yaoyao's mother's death, Madame Yang could not eat or sleep, fearing that Bozhou would do something. Naturally, she did not dare to harm Yaoyao. However, Yaoyao's mother had passed away for a long time and there was no movement in Bozhou. Madame Yang's mind gradually became active again.

In her opinion, the affair between Chieftain Yang and Yao Yao's mother was probably just a momentary joy at the sight of beauty. He used flowery words to deceive her. For someone like Chieftain Yang, he never lacked for women. He probably had long forgotten about his affair in Jingzhou.

However, even if he did not have any feelings for Yaoyao's mother, what about his own flesh and blood? Shui Wu was known as a maid, but in fact, she and Yao Yao's mother were like sisters. Before Yao Yao's mother died, she even asked her daughter to recognize Shui Wu as her godmother. Yao Yao's true identity, Shui Wu was very clear about it. Therefore, Madame Yang deliberately wanted to get rid of Shuiwu and Yaoyao. As long as they were dead, perhaps Chieftain Yang in Bozhou would never think about his affair in Jingzhou again. She would then be free of worries.

Because of this, Madame Yang deliberately wanted to get rid of Shuiwu and Yaoyao. As long as they were dead, perhaps Chieftain Yang in Bozhou would never think about his affair in Jingzhou again. She would then be free of worries.

Unexpectedly, there was still no news of Skinny Yang after he left Jingzhou for so long. She did not know if he had completed the task she gave him. At this time, Yang Yinglong of Bozhou sent a message. He ordered the Yang residence to send a steward to Guiyang to cooperate with the investigation of a murder case.

The informant was vague and Madame Yang did not know what kind of murder case it was. However, she could basically confirm that this murder case had nothing to do with the death of Yaoyao's mother. What kind of person was Yang Yinglong? If he wanted to kill someone, did he need to go to court? Moreover, if this matter were to be publicized, it would not be good for his reputation.

With this judgment, Madame Yang dared to come to Guiyang. However, even though she had planned well along the way, now that she had arrived in Guiyang and was about to see Yang Yinglong, she could not help but feel nervous.

The famous chieftains in Guizhou all had mansions in Guiyang. However, these chieftains did not live in Guiyang. Therefore, after Yang Yinglong arrived in Guiyang, it was difficult for him to find someone with the same status as him. As a result, he did not socialize much. These few days, he had been resting in his residence. Very few people knew that he was in Guiyang.

When Madame Yang arrived at the Yang residence, a servant reported her in. Yang Yinglong immediately summoned her. Madame Yang walked into the living room. As soon as she saw Yang Yinglong sitting at the head of the table, she immediately stopped and bowed. "Madame Yang from Jingzhou greets the master!"

Jingzhou's Yang clan was a branch of Bozhou's Yang clan. Since Madame Yang greeted him as a family member, the two became much closer. Yang Yinglong smiled and stood up. He politely said, "Madame must be tired from the journey. Come, come, come, please sit. "

"Thank you, master!"

Madame Yang gently sat down and bowed. "After receiving the master's message, I immediately set off. However, as a woman, I inevitably have many inconveniences outside. I only arrived today. I hope I did not delay the master's important matter."

Yang Yinglong laughed and said, "Madame arrived just in time. You did not delay the important matter."

At this time, a servant came to serve tea. Yang Yinglong raised his teacup and took a small sip. He then signaled to Madame Yang. Madame Yang raised her teacup to moisten her throat. She then said, "The people you sent to Jingzhou were vague. Even now, I still do not know what kind of murder case it is. Please enlighten me, master."

Yang Yinglong said, "Haha, this case is strange, but also very interesting."

Yang Yinglong had already read the case file from the Disciplinary Bureau. He told Madame Yang everything that had happened. "The file sent from Tongren Province said that the people who killed Shuiwu's father were three servants sent by your residence."

Yang Yinglong rubbed his chin and said in a low voice, "I have some impression of Skinny Yang and Shuiwu. When I went to your residence a few years ago, I saw them. Were these three people sent by you? Why did they kill? "

Madame Yang listened to Yang Yinglong's narration. Only now did she know that Skinny Yang, Yue Ming and Xing Erzhu had followed Shuiwu all the way to her hometown. Unexpectedly, they found an opportunity to kill Shuiwu's father. After that, they chased after Yaoyao and lost their lives in vain. These three are really stupid trash.

Madame Yang said, "Why would I do such a thing? Skinny Yang was indeed the steward of this concubine's residence. However, this person's hands and feet were not clean. He often colluded with Yue Ming and Xing Erzhu to steal things from the residence and sell them. He even tried to rape Shuiwu. After being reported by Shuiwu, this concubine scolded him and chased him out of the residence. He is no longer a member of the Yang family. "

Yang Yinglong said, "Oh? If that's the case, then Skinny Yang was seeking revenge. Then why did Shuiwu leave the Yang family? "

Madame Yang looked a little sad. She sighed softly and said, "Shuiwu was my husband's personal maid to Madam Ru. A few years ago, Madam Ru passed away due to illness …"

At this point, Madam Yang's tone paused for a moment as she sneaked a peek at Yang Yinglong's expression. Seeing that he was shocked but not sorrowful, she made up her mind. 'Seems like he doesn't know anything about Yao Yao's mother's death, and doesn't have any deep feelings for her.'

Madame Yang anxiously judged and told Yang Yinglong the lie that Ye Xiaotian had used to trick her. When Yang Yinglong heard that 'Yang Lin was taken care of by Ye Xiaotian in prison, he was grateful and wanted to repay him by marrying his daughter to him', he was overjoyed. "Is this God helping me?"

He kept Yaoyao by Ye Xiaotian's side because he knew that Ye Xiaotian was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. As long as Yaoyao was raised by him, they would be like brother and sister, even if they were not father and daughter. Then, Yaoyao would be able to exert a considerable influence on Ye Xiaotian.

Yaoyao was still young and indifferent to him, but he was Yaoyao's biological father after all. When he contacted Yaoyao, how could she not listen to him? He could then indirectly control Ye Xiaotian. But he didn't expect that there was such a relationship between Ye Xiaotian and Yaoyao …

Yang Yinglong made a decision in an instant, "No matter whether this matter is true or not, or what the reason is, I must confirm it and confirm the relationship between Yaoyao and Ye Xiaotian!" As for Ye Xiaotian, there would be a day when he would return to the Gu God Sect. At that time, what would Yaoyao do? He didn't even think about it. He had the affection of a child, but compared to his great cause, it was not worth a penny.

Yang Yinglong closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then quickly made a decision. He didn't care whether Ye Xiaotian killed anyone or who the real culprit behind the murder case of Tongren Sanli Village was. What he cared about was how to control Ye Xiaotian step by step.

Yang Yinglong slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "I understand. Have you arranged a place to stay?"

Madame Yang said respectfully, "Not yet. Since the master has summoned me, I naturally have to come and see the master first."

Yang Yinglong smiled faintly and said, "Then stay in the residence. You don't need to ask more. When you are needed, I will arrange for you to appear. I will tell you what to say at that time. Come! "

A family member answered and appeared. Yang Yinglong said, "Arrange a place for Madame to stay and take good care of her!"

Madame Yang was still confused. She didn't understand why a big shot like Yang Yinglong would care about such a small matter. The so-called murder case was nothing in his eyes.

Although she had temporarily concealed it from Yang Yinglong, if Yang Yinglong were to interrogate her in detail, she would inevitably be unable to justify herself. Furthermore, Xue Shuiwu was currently in Yang Yinglong. She didn't know if she knew about the relationship between Yaoyao's mother and Yang Yinglong. Under such circumstances, how could she feel at ease staying in the Yang residence?

However, she couldn't go against Yang Yinglong's wishes. She could only force herself to calm down and thank Yang Yinglong before leaving with the family member. Seeing Madame Yang leave, Yang Yinglong clapped his hands lightly. The steward of the Yang residence quietly appeared before him. Yang Yinglong said, "When this matter is over, when Madame Yang returns to Jing Zhou, kill her!"

The steward revealed a trace of surprise. However, he didn't ask why Madame Yang had to be killed. Since the Heavenly King had given the order, he just had to kill her. For someone like Madame Yang, killing her was as easy as killing a chicken or a dog.

Shuiwu sat in front of the window and stared at the Ling Xiao Flower tree in a daze. After resting in the An residence for a few days, her complexion was much better. Miss Zhan specially assigned two maids to take care of her. However, she didn't show her around the An residence. Staying in someone else's residence, it wasn't appropriate for her to move around freely. Therefore, she didn't even step out of the courtyard these few days.

The courtyard door opened and Zhan Ning 'er walked in. Shuiwu saw her from the window and hurriedly stood up to welcome her. "Miss Zhan, did you find out about the date of the Tribute Examination?"

Zhan Ning 'er smiled guiltily. "Ah, look at how anxious you are. Don't worry, I just asked clearly. They said … the registration date is three days later."

Shuiwu said happily, "Ah! Three days later. Thank you very much, Miss. "

Zhan Ning 'er said, "No need to thank me. It's a beautiful thing to help others achieve their goals. I believe that if you were in such a situation, you would do the same."

Shuiwu nodded happily. "En!"

Zhan Ning 'er's smile became even more radiant. She thought to herself, "This is what you said. Then you shall become my beauty!"
