The courtyard was very quiet during the day. The maids and servants walked on tiptoe because the young master was still catching up on his sleep and they, the servants, did not dare to wake him up.

Young Master Mochizuki slept until the afternoon and was in a good mood when he got up to eat.

He wandered around in the yard for a while. Because he had just eaten too much by accident, after digesting the food a little, he walked out with his people in a swagger.

Jiang Yu led his men to sneak into the courtyard once again and searched the ground thoroughly. They found that this courtyard was just an ordinary courtyard and there was really no secret room or anything like that.

So what is Mr. Mochizuki doing here?

The Third Young Master is not hiding here, so is he hiding outside?

Jiang Yu asked the secret guard beside him: "Did Young Master Wangyue really not have the chance to see the Third Young Master during the times he went out?" He suspected that there was no one at home, so he must have been hidden outside.

A secret guard replied in a hoarse voice: "Absolutely not. My subordinates followed very closely. Master Wangyue was always in my sight."

Jiang Yu really doubted that the Third Young Master was not here, and wondered if the prince had made a wrong judgment.

But he dared not question the prince's words, so he could only take the last step. He reluctantly ordered:

"We will take action tonight and arrest a few of the servants around the young master. If the third young master is really here, they must know about it."

At worst, I'll use torture. I don't believe I won't get anything out of him.

It is difficult to take action against the young master, but others do not have so many concerns.

"Yes!" They quietly hid back in the dark, waiting for the arrival of night.

Young Master Wangyue wandered around the whole afternoon and came back when it was dark. After he washed up and lay down, the servant turned off the lights and went out. Wangyue had slept enough during the day and was not sleepy yet.

He was thinking with his eyes closed when he heard a little noise. Then he immediately regained his composure. He suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out with the sword that was placed beside him.

They ran into a few people who were carrying something on their shoulders and were about to retreat. Both sides were startled. The secret guards did not expect that Young Master Wangyue was so alert, so they made almost no sound.

Wangyue threw the cup in his hand hard at the masked man opposite. He had picked it up in his hand when he came out, just in case.

With a "bang", the man in black nimbly dodged the attack of the cup, and the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces, the sound was particularly clear and loud in the silent night.

Xuanjizi in the next room was snoring the moment before, but the crisp sound of the cup immediately woke him up. He turned over and jumped out with his sword in hand.

Arrived at the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the confrontation between the two sides, the secret guards were all wearing black clothes and black scarves neatly.

On Wangyue's side, except for Master Wangyue who was dressed neatly, the other guards and servants came out in their inner clothes, and some of them didn't even have shoes on.

At first glance, it was obvious that they were running out in a panic, with the whole place in chaos.

Xuanjizi jumped behind the men in black in just a few steps, blocking their retreat.

He held his sword in front of him, ready to fight.

Wangyue was not in a hurry to take action. He chuckled:

"You are the old man's men, right? Why are you arresting my servant? If you want to know something, wouldn't it be better to ask me directly?"

He was too lazy to argue with them and just spoke frankly.

Jiang Yu glanced around and thought it was okay. Since it was already like this, he might as well ask:

"Excuse me, sir, where is the third young master now?"

Wangyue's smile deepened, revealing his white teeth. He said seriously:

"You're looking for my third brother! You've come too late. He died a long time ago. Maybe he's been reincarnated as a cat or a dog in some family!"

Jiang Yu didn't believe it: "Why would you lie to us, sir?"

Wangyue laughed loudly, and then suddenly asked through gritted teeth:

"What did I lie to you about? Shouldn't he die? He pissed off my mother to death, killed so many of my brothers, and poisoned me. He did so many evil things, how could he not die? Am I going to keep him alive for the New Year?"

Jiang Yu felt that Wangyue's expression did not seem fake. If he told the truth, the situation would be heading towards the worst direction. How would they explain to the prince?

Wang Yue said to Jiang Yan with full of malice:

"I killed him to avenge my mother and myself. Is there anything wrong with that? The old man wants him to replace me. He's dreaming! What I can't have, I will destroy and not leave to him."

Jiang Yu's heart sank to the bottom. If Young Master Wangyue had such a strong hostility towards the Third Young Master, it was reasonable for him to kill the Third Young Master.

Then why does the prince still think that the third young master is alive?

He tried to speak: "Where is the body of the Third Young Master? Can you give it to me to take back and report back?"

Wangyue sneered: "Does he deserve to have an intact body?"

This……

Jiang Yu clenched his sword and said to Master Wangyue:

"Then please go back with your subordinates to report." Now it seems that the only option is to take the young master away and hand him over to the prince for personal disposal.

Wang Yue said calmly, "You want to fight me? I am the last one left in my family. Do you dare to touch me?"

Although he disdains to be an heir, this identity still has some use in this situation. At least it makes them aware of the interests involved and they dare not take harsh measures against him.

In fact, he hoped that the old man would have no descendants, so that he would suffer, despair, and die with regrets.

Jiang Yu was indeed afraid, otherwise he would not have been so nonsensical. His original intention was to solve the problem without having to fight with Master Mochizuki. However, things did not go as he wished, and this wish might be difficult to realize.

Young Master Wangyue seems to harbor hatred towards both the prince and the third young master, which makes things difficult to deal with.

He has not received a reply to his letter asking for instructions from the prince yet, so what should he do next?

Jiang Yu clasped his fists and said: "Sir, if what you said is true, then you will be the heir of the family in the future. I believe the master will not be too harsh on you. You should go back with me to see the master and explain the truth. This matter must be resolved in the end."

Wangyue: "What should I do if I don't want to see the old man's face?"

It was clear that he didn't want to go back. Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Jiang Yu drew his sword and said to Wang Yue:

"Sir, I am sorry for the offense."

When the guards on Wangyue's side saw that the other side was about to fight, they quickly pulled Master Wangyue behind them. They faced off against Jiang Yu and other secret guards. The winner was immediately apparent after the two sides fought.

Jiang Yu's attack was ruthless, and the guards were knocked down in no time.

This was only out of consideration for Master Wangyue's face that he spared the life, otherwise everyone lying on the ground would be dead.

Even so, Wangyue still looked at Jiang Yu calmly, then drew his sword and fought with Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu was concerned about not hurting the prince's only child, so he was restricted everywhere.

Jiang Yu's sword approached Wang Yue's neck. Instead of dodging, he deliberately leaned his neck against the sword. Jiang Yu was so scared that he quickly put away his sword, so Wang Yue fought Jiang Yu without fear.
