Chapter 140
"maybe!"

Chengyanghou sighed meaningfully, and his sword eyebrows were locked even tighter.

While Lin Youyi was talking to Marquis Chengyang, Ji Shitang also started to move around.

Ling Yun led people to hide around Ji Shitang, all the guards were already shivering from the cold, but they were still motionless.

It wasn't until the night was completely dark that the guards guarding the back door saw a black figure, whoosh slipped into Jishitang.

"Someone!"

"Shh, Chief Guard Ling is inside, he can't run away! Play by ear, don't ruin Chief Guard Ling's arrangement."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

At this time, Ling Yun was hiding on the beam of the inner room of Jishi Hall.

His ears were extremely sharp, and he heard a slight noise first, and then he saw someone punctured the window paper and began to blow smoke into the inner room.

Ling Yun had expected this to happen a long time ago, so he accepted Esan early in the morning.

Immediately afterwards, that person probably guessed that Dr. Du had been fainted by the smoke, so he pried open the door of the inner room recklessly.

Ling Yun watched helplessly as a man in a night suit pushed open the door of the inner room and tiptoed to the bedside.

The next moment, he took out his dagger and stabbed the person under the blanket several times.
The muffled sound of sharp weapons piercing people's bodies, in this quiet night, sounds particularly strange and heart-wrenching!
Ling Yun's eyes were deep, staring at every move of the man in black!
Thanks to his early preparations, it was true that there was a person lying on the bed, but it was a person who had already died!
Then, after the man in black confirmed that the person on the bed was completely dead, he began to arrange the scene.

With his back to Ling Yun, he took out something from his arms and threw it beside the bed.

Then, pretending to be a burglar, he turned the inner room upside down.

After finishing all this, he folded his arms and stood at the door complacently looking around, as if confirming that there was something wrong.

Afterwards, he opened the door of the inner room and went straight to the front hall.

Ling Yun flew down from the beam, and then quietly followed behind the man in black.

Seeing that the man in black took out the fire pocket and was about to set fire to the front hall, Ling Yun appeared in a flash and caught the fire pocket with precision.

The man in black suddenly saw someone appear, especially Ling Yun came and went without a sound, like a ghost, and was immediately frightened out of his wits!

The man in black really thought he had seen a ghost!
After he let out a miserable scream, he turned around and was about to run!

How could Ling Yun let him run away so easily, he raised his hand, grabbed the back of his neck, grabbed his arm and grabbed him back, and then pushed him to the ground.

The guards outside did not expect that the man in black would be such a waste that he failed Ling Yun's arrangement for nothing.

Just after midnight, Prince Rui took Ling Yun and a group of guards to Chengyanghou Mansion in Kui Ye.

Fortunately, Marquis Chengyang was mentally prepared, and soon brought his family to sit in the main hall.

The Marquis of Chengyang and Prince Rui were on top of the main seat, and the old lady, Lin Mu, Xiao Yu'an, and the four ladies from the Hou's residence sat on the two sides.

"Master Hou, tonight, I lived up to Miss Fourth's entrustment, and finally caught that shameless person who spread rumors among the common people and slandered Miss Fourth's reputation!"

While Mu Zheng was speaking, he couldn't help but cast a glance at Lin Youyi.

Lin Youyi happened to be looking at Mu Zheng too, and the moment their eyes met, Lin Youyi smiled, thanking Mu Zheng for his generous help.

"That's really thanks to Prince Rui!"

"You don't need to thank me. The king said that the matter of the fourth lady is the matter of the king! It's just a little effort, so it's nothing to worry about!"

As soon as Mu Zheng's words came out, the entire main hall fell into a suffocating silence.

All eyes were on Lin Youyi in unison.

Among them, there was the shock from the old lady and Mother Lin, the worry from Marquis Chengyang, the anger from Xiao Yu'an, and the jealousy from the other three ladies in the Hou's mansion!

It happened to be Lin Youyi herself, who lowered her head and didn't realize it.

After hearing what Mu Zheng said, the first thing that came to mind in her mind was the sentence that the third prince said in the afternoon, "It's a small matter".

Today, she has been planning for a long time, but she didn't realize it, it turned out to be a "small matter".

Thinking of this, Lin Youyi couldn't help snickering.

But it was this smile that made all the people present in the main hall, the happy ones happier, the sad ones sadder, and the hated ones even more hateful!
Mu Zheng saw the unfriendly eyes of others, and said again calmly.

"Master Hou, you should be familiar with this person!"

After Mu Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yun calmly and winked at him.

Ling Yun cupped his fists and stepped forward in response, reaching out and tearing off the black scarf covering the face of the man in black.

At the same time, all the people in the Chengyang Hou Mansion gasped in shock after seeing the true face of the man in black.

Chengyang Hou even exclaimed.

"Junyi? Why...how is it you?!"

Ding Junyi is the elder brother of Aunt Ding, and also the eldest uncle of Marquis of Chengyang.

Logically speaking, this Ding Junyi is no longer a talent, but at least he has the big backer of Chengyang Hou.

In this way, as long as he doesn't do evil, it is not difficult for him to live a comfortable and smooth life.

However, this Ding Junyi is not only incompetent, but also an idle, ignorant, rascal!

On weekdays, thanks to Aunt Ding's donation and subsidy, she can barely support her face.

"Ling Yun, please tell Hou Ye exactly what happened just now."

"Yes, your subordinates obey!"

Afterwards, Ling Yun explained in detail what he saw with his own eyes just now.

After finishing speaking, Ling Yun reached out and took out an earring from his bosom, and presented it in front of Chengyang Hou with both hands.

"This is what this person deliberately threw at the scene of the crime. Please take a look at it, Lord Hou!"

"This earring looks familiar!"

Cheng Yanghou took the earring and looked at it. He really felt that the style of the earring looked familiar.

But he couldn't remember where he had seen that earring.

At this moment, Xiao Muxue stretched her neck and recognized the earring at a glance.

Shocked, she stood up abruptly, pointed at the earring in Chengyang Hou's hand, and said in a surprised voice.

"This... isn't this the emerald earrings that my mother left for me and my elder sister? I... I read it right, right?"
