Chapter 990 Fishing Law Enforcement
"what?"

In the exquisite attic of Yushan Academy, Li Er stood with his hands behind his back, looking in surprise at Hong Cheng who was kneeling in front of him.

Hong Cheng said respectfully, "Marquis Lantian said that he will go out for an outing outside the city with his newlywed wife in two days."

Li Er looked at him in surprise, then said with interest: "Interesting, you are trying to be bait for me!"

Hong Cheng said quickly: "Marquis Lantian's heart for your majesty is truly evident to all!"

"Can the sun and the moon bear witness to this?" Li Er sneered, shook his head, and muttered, "Something is wrong. This kid has always been afraid of death. This time he knew there was an Eight Ox Crossbow, but he still dared to do this. There must be something fishy going on!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Hong Cheng who was kneeling on the ground: "He said he didn't want my help and only took one guard out of the city?"

Hong Cheng nodded quickly and said, "It's absolutely true."

Li Er glanced at the old eunuch waiting beside him and chuckled, "Wushe, what do you think?"

The old eunuch cupped his hands and said respectfully, "I once fought with Mr. Lin at Yushan Academy. If the person accompanying him is Mr. Lin, I can ensure that Marquis Yun will have no worries!"

Li Er thought so too, so he turned his attention to Hongcheng.

Hong Cheng shook his head and said in confusion: "I thought so at the time, but Mr. Lin said that he couldn't show up, otherwise Dou Yanshan would never dare to take the bait..."

Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Dou Yanshan know of his existence?"

Hong Cheng thought for a moment and whispered, "Maybe he knows. It's no secret that Mr. Lin is in Yushan Academy. Besides, back then on the grassland, the young master of the Cheng family would go to Mr. Lin to learn from him every day, and the soldiers in the army also saw it."

"Now that the army has been withdrawn, many officers and soldiers who witnessed the two men's sparring have returned home."

"Given the Dou family's status before they lost power, it would not be impossible to find out these things."

Wushe also nodded and said, "General Hong is right. Moreover, I know that Dou Yanshan came to the academy to rob people that day, but he returned empty-handed in front of the maze at the academy gate."

"I was in the academy at the time, and I vaguely remember that Dou Yanshan once asked the academy guards if anyone had passed through the maze from the front."

"If the guard speaks frankly, he will definitely reveal Mr. Lin's name. After all, the only two people who passed through the maze of the academy gate were Brother Yun Ye."

Hearing this, Li Er's face darkened, he shook his sleeves, snorted and said, "If that's the case, then I want to see how I, the Lantian Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, will get through this!"

As he spoke, Li Er came to the balcony of the attic and quietly looked down at the academy where students were coming and going below.

Seeing this scene, Wushe stepped forward expressionlessly and guarded His Majesty.

Hong Cheng smiled bitterly. He knew that when Li Er came to the academy, he also ran excitedly to try the maze, but he failed and got defeated. He still feels aggrieved about it.

After a little thought, Hong Cheng kowtowed heavily, stood up and left the attic, calling on the elite troops of the Hundred Cavalry Division to defend the academy.

……

Two days later, outside the Yunhou Mansion, Lin Zhongtian, dressed in white, stood at the door, watching the carriage in front of him leave.

As the carriage drove away, Lin Zhongtian glanced at the pedestrians coming and going in the Yunjiazhuang market, turned around and walked into the mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Zhongtian saw an old soldier from the Yun family standing in front of the old lady, reporting something in a low voice.

Lin Zhongtian paid close attention and discovered that the person the old soldier was talking about was the stranger who had been coming in and out of the Yun family's manor in recent days.

These people may think that they have hidden themselves well, but what they don’t know is that Yunjia Manor is different from other manors. The farmers and the main family here are truly of the same blood.

They would proactively report any disturbance to the Yun Mansion.

Seeing Lin Zhongtian walk in, the old lady waved her hand, signaling the old soldier to leave.

"Brother Tian, ​​Ye'er has already left. Do you want to catch the rats in the village?"

"No hurry." Lin Zhongtian shook his head. "It's useless to catch them now. It will only alert the enemy."

"You know, the Dou family is a true thousand-year-old Chinese family. They were powerful during the Han Dynasty. Even after experiencing the chaotic Southern and Northern Dynasties, they still have a seat in the court."

"Even the current emperor would not dare to force such a noble family into a desperate situation."

"The emperor cultivated Dou Zhong because he wanted to find a spokesperson within the Dou family and use the Dou family for his own benefit. But at the same time, this also shows that he only dared to do this..."

Hearing this, the old lady was a little frightened and said quickly: "Sir, you are getting off topic!"

Lin Zhongtian paused and said with a smile: "What the old lady said is true. What I mean is that the Dou family, or the direct lineage of the Dou family, has been entrenched in Chang'an and Guanzhong for many years. Their power must be intertwined. Even if they lose power, there must be many loyal warriors to the direct lineage of the Dou family."

"If not for this, Dou Yanshan would not have been able to hide despite the Hundred Cavalry Division's full-scale search."

"Those who dare to take risks to spy on Yunjiazhuang, or even Yushan, must be Dou family assassins. Even if we catch them, we won't be able to get anything out of them. We have to catch Dou Yanshan himself!"

The old lady nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the yard outside the door and sighed softly: "I hope everything goes well for Ye'er..."

Although it was called outside the city, the Yun Family Manor was actually outside the city. The place where Yun Ye and Xin Yue went for an outing was not that remote. It was just a piece of grassland about 15 miles away from the Yun Family Manor. This place could still be considered the foot of the Jade Mountain. A clear stream ran down from the Jade Mountain, passing through the grassland and gurgling.

Yun Ye ordered the man in black driving the carriage to stop by the stream, then took out the brocade and food boxes from the carriage, preparing to have a picnic with his beloved wife.

Xin Yue knew that they had other purposes for this trip, but she was not clear about the truth, so she behaved quite naturally.

Yun Ye told her not to worry about it and to enjoy their time alone, so she did as he said.

On the grass in early spring, Yun Ye and Xin Yue sat opposite each other on either side of a picnic napkin. In the middle was a wooden box filled with all kinds of delicacies, next to them was a gurgling stream, and not far away were grazing horses and a carriage engraved with cloud patterns.

If we ignore the man in black standing next to the carriage, the scenery in front of us can truly be described as picturesque.

In such a picturesque scenery and the gentle spring breeze, Xin Yue gradually put aside her worries, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she began to immerse herself in Yun Ye's sweet words and the so-called 'sandwich' made by her husband.

Half an hour passed like this, and there was still no movement around.

Yun Ye glanced around, feeling disappointed, but still smiling brightly, and asked Xin Yue to pack up and leave.

There were a lot of things, and Yun Ye didn't want Xin Yue to be busy alone, so he called the man in black over, and the three of them cleaned up the mess together.

At this moment, figures appeared around one after another, and there were more and more people. A young man in brocade clothes, holding a folding fan, walked over leisurely in the spring breeze, and smiled and bowed to Yun Ye and the other two who had their backs to them.

"Brother Yun, it's been a few days since we last met. Is everything going well?"

"..."

The sudden sound startled Xin Yue.

She quickly turned her head and looked at the crowd that had gathered in front of her, her slender hand unconsciously reaching into her sleeves.

There was a hidden pocket there, and inside it was the electric shock device that Lin Zhongtian had given her.

Yun Ye turned around, looked at the young man in brocade clothes, raised his eyebrows, and raised his hand slightly. The man in black next to him immediately took a step forward and protected Xin Yue and Yun Ye behind him.

The young man in brocade clothes didn't pay any attention to the man in black.

He looked at the beautiful woman beside Yun Ye and said with a smile: "If I am not mistaken, this is my sister-in-law. She is really beautiful and is the envy of others!"

Yun Ye's face turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Dou Yanshan, I thought you had already hidden in the mountains and snatched bananas from the savages. I didn't expect you to dare to stay in Chang'an!"

Hearing Yun Ye's sarcastic words, Dou Yanshan was not angry, but couldn't help laughing.

Soon, Dou Yanshan stopped smiling, glanced at Yun Ye and said calmly: "Thanks to Brother Yun, I am almost going to hide in the mountains, but before entering the mountains, I still want to visit Brother Yun."

"After all, it's Brother Yun's wedding, and even if I can't go to congratulate him in person, I should at least send him some gifts!"

Yun Ye did not comment: "I understand."

Dou Yanshan shook his head and said sternly, "That won't do. Brother Yun should accept my sincere heart!"

As they spoke, the burly men around them came forward one after another and surrounded Yun Ye and the other two more tightly.

Yun Ye frowned and said in a cold voice: "Dou Yanshan, what do you want to do?!"

Dou Yanshan smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? It's a gift!"

Yun Ye glanced at the dozens of big men around him and said calmly: "The Yun family is not short of people."

Dou Yanshan shook his head and said, "Brother Yun, you misunderstood. I am not giving this gift to anyone. It is just that this gift is too far away and has not been delivered to Chang'an yet. That is why I want to ask Brother Yun and his wife to go with me and pick it up in person."

Yun Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you going to kidnap me?"

Dou Yanshan turned his head and looked at Yushan Academy, and said in a deep voice: "Chang'an is under the feet of the emperor. Even if my Dou family still has some influence, it is impossible for us to fight with him on the emperor's territory."

At this point, Dou Yanshan turned to look at Yun Ye and said with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Yun has ever heard of the saying 'The sky is high and the emperor is far away'?"

"I plan to run away, preferably out of the emperor's sight, so that I can slowly manage my business and plan for the future..."

Yun Ye said coldly: "You hate the emperor, what does it have to do with me? With your wisdom, you should be able to figure out that I am just a pawn put forward by the emperor to fight against your Dou family. It is not me who really wants to destroy the Dou family!"

"Really?" Dou Yanshan said calmly, "That's not what you said in front of the emperor."

As he spoke, Dou Yanshan looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Well, it's getting late, it's time to get on the road."

"and many more!"

Yun Ye quickly called Dou Yanshan and shook his head, saying, "You can't take me away."

Dou Yanshan glanced at him, sighed and said, "Brother Yun, you are a disciple of the gods, extraordinary and above the mundane. I have always admired you and hope you can maintain your demeanor. Don't ruin your composure at this critical moment..."
