Chapter 210: Assassin Organization
"How long has father been locked up inside by himself?" Yun Canglang frowned as he looked at the food placed outside the room.
He still remembered Yun Sheng mentioning earlier that Yun Bahe's health had declined significantly.
"Three to four days now, staying inside all the time without even changing his court clothes," Uncle Yun didn't know exactly what the master had heard in the court, he just knew that he had never seen the master so angry before.
That day, after leaving the court, the master stormed into the mansion like an angry lion, he grabbed the guard's saber, trying to strike the young master, but it was the third daughter who held him tightly, threatening that if he hurt Tang Yu, she would kill herself immediately, only then did the master hold back his rage.
Yet, the master still kicked the young master.
"Where is that beast Tang Yu!" Yun Canglang scoffed.
The whole incident was caused by Tang Yu, and just now as he entered the mansion, he saw the deceased's family kneeling outside, which was embarrassing.
Those people were cursing and throwing things at him, yet he did not retaliate.
"The young master is in the third daughter's courtyard. Recently, some unknown assassins have infiltrated the mansion. In order to protect the young master, the third daughter hired several Hunter Soldiers to guard the courtyard," Uncle Yun said, shaking his head constantly.
I have watched the young master grow up since he was a child, all blame lies on the third daughter for spoiling him too much, which led to his current character.
"Hired Hunter Soldiers? He thinks that can save his damn life, that woman's corpse is still lying outside!" Yun Canglang saw the coffin placed outside when he entered the mansion.
The family of the woman, in order to preserve her corpse, surrounded it with a special Magic Array.
Although it has been nearly twenty days, the corpse still looks lifelike.
Yun Canglang could clearly see the trace of hanging on the woman's neck, indicating her suicide.
"Second young master, please calm your anger. The young master indeed made a mistake this time, but if we hand him over, he would have no way out but death. You know that the third daughter is extremely fond of the young master, if anything happens to him, she can't live on either," Uncle Yun pulled up his sleeves, wiping the corners of his eyes.
In the early years of Yun Bahe's battles, he spent little time with Yun Family's Matriarch. When the third daughter was born, she died in childbirth.
The third daughter is the youngest in the family, and because she resembles the deceased matriarch slightly, the master has always doted on her.
"She has to survive even if she doesn't want to. Tang Yu must be handed over. I have already asked someone from the Hunter Soldier Alliance to contact the Commander of the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps," Yun Canglang said solemnly.
Before he rushed back to Yujing, he had contacted the Hunter Soldier Branch near the border.
On one hand, he asked the branch to keep an eye on Yun Sheng's safety; on the other hand, he wanted to use the Hunter Soldier Alliance to get in touch with the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps to minimize the consequences of this matter involving Yun Residence.
If it wasn't for the recent incident where the Sky Hunting Corps saved many villagers and gained some reputation, along with Yun Sheng's Elder Token, the newly established Sky Hunting Corps would have no qualification to speak with the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps.
There's also news from the Hunter Soldier Alliance that Wolf Fang's people are willing to meet but demanded that Tang Yu, the main culprit, must be present.
This is the main reason Yun Canglang rushed back to Yun Residence without stopping.
Yun Canglang had good intentions, but as soon as he proposed this, he heard a cold snort from behind.
"Second brother, how venomous your thoughts are! Yuyu is your own nephew, yet you actually intend to push him into the tiger's mouth!" Yun Canglang, along with Tang Yu and several equipped Hunter Soldiers, approached.
As soon as Yun Canglang returned to the mansion, Yun Cangxue's informants reported the news to her.
The achievements of the Sky Hunting Corps in saving hundreds of villagers at the border of Great Zhou had already been reported to Yujing a few days ago.
Yun Cangxue thought that since Yun Canglang was now a commander, perhaps he could wield some influence in the Hunter Soldier Alliance. His return to the mansion must mean he has ways to help Tang Yu, so she immediately brought people to find him.
Little did she know that as she approached the courtyard, she heard Yun Canglang talking about handing over Tang Yu, she was immediately overwhelmed with anger and began to interrogate him loudly.
"Venomous? Little sister, even now, you still want to protect that little beast? Death for a killer, the Emperor's laws apply equally to commoners; he killed someone, doesn't he have any responsibility?" Yun Canglang couldn't believe that even today, Yun Cangxue was still so stubbornly misguided.
He was too disappointed in Yun Cangxue.
"Second brother, Yuyu is at fault, but he did not kill anyone with his own hands. He is young and ignorant, and made some mistakes, shouldn't we give him a chance to reform? You insist on handing him over, which is just because you are biased. If it were Yun Sheng, that wretch girl, would you bear to hand her over?" Upon hearing this, Yun Cangxue became even more furious.
Hearing Yun Cangxue repeatedly calling Yun Sheng a vile girl, Yun Canglang felt a surge of anger.
For Tang Yu's sake, he had to leave Yun Sheng, whose fate is still unknown until today, and rush back only to be met with such unreasonable trouble.
"If it were Sheng'er? Yun Cangxue, is that even something to say? She is my niece, the biological daughter of my elder brother! How can she be compared with your scoundrel son? My niece, Yun Sheng, saves lives and aids the injured, never killing innocents wantonly!" Yun Canglang was furiously outraged.
Yun Cangxue was left speechless by the questioning.
Seeing his uncle leaving his mother speechless made Tang Yu even more afraid: "Mother, I don't want to leave the mansion. Haven't you seen those people outside, looking fierce and evil? If I go out, they will definitely kill me."
Tang Yu indeed looked pitiful.
These past few days, he had been too scared to leave the mansion, especially with the members of the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps occasionally sneaking into the General Mansion.
His grandfather, who had always been his protector, not only kicked him but almost killed him with the kick and was completely indifferent to his safety, allowing those people to roam around the mansion.
Tang Yu was so scared that he hadn't slept well day or night, and now hearing that he was going to be handed over, he almost pissed himself in fear.
"Yuyu, dear, Mother will never let anyone bully you, don't be afraid. Even if it takes ten thousand pounds, I will hire someone to keep you safe. Just wait for another five days, and the people from Blood Hand Ditch will be back; then, you needn't fear anyone anymore," Yun Cangxue lovingly looked at her son.
This child had been terrified these few days, even losing quite a bit of weight.
"Yun Cangxue?! Who did you say you hired? You actually hired people from Blood Hand Ditch? Do you still think Yun Residence's reputation isn't tarnished enough?" Yun Canglang's mind exploded with a roar.
Blood Hand Ditch is a very special organization on Wuji Continent, similar in nature to the Hunter Soldiers, undertaking any task for a fee.
These tasks include murder, looting, and even kidnapping and invasions under certain circumstances.
To accomplish their tasks, the people of Blood Hand Ditch are willing to stoop to the most despicable means.
