"Dad, the spies are here to report that Xu Shilin has rushed to the capital with his people. I don't know why?" Cao Duo reported.

"Then did the people we sent take action?"

"Yes, but I missed it and three of them died."

"What? This can't kill him, who are these people?" Cao Gan was furious.

"Dad, don't be angry. It is said that one of them knows magic, but our people didn't succeed."

"The three who died...?"

"Dad, don't worry. I told you in advance that if you are captured, you will bite yourself with poison."

"Well, how is the situation there, Marshal?"

"Everything is ready to go. Once Yu Jiao dies, he will launch a massive attack and destroy the Yu family's army. Our plan will be just around the corner."

"We cannot relax at this time. Both sides must keep a close eye on the situation. The opportunity we have waited for so long cannot make any mistakes."

"My child knows, then I will go to the Criminal Department first."

"Yeah." Cao Gan's eyes were cold, and he emitted two rays of cold light, penetrating the boundless night like swords.

Yu Yan got up early in the morning and hurried on, and finally arrived at Lin'an City.

"Wow, the capital is so big. There are so many people." She took Ma's hand and looked east and west. She was dazzled by the small shops and hawkers on the streets.

"Come on, come on, this is a good rouge and gouache, girl, come and take a look." An aunt called her.

"Girl, buy one. It will look good after you rub it."

"No, aunt, do you know how to get to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Yu Yan put down Yan Zhi and asked.

"Oh, I don't want to buy it. Well, just go ahead and turn a corner and you'll be there." The aunt pointed in the direction with a sullen face.

"Oh, thank you, auntie." Yuyan led the horse and walked happily. She was very excited to see her grandma soon. So, she came to the Youxiang Mansion. There were guards at the door. She just When he wanted to enter, he was stopped by the guard.

"Who dares to break into the prime minister's mansion?"

"I'm here to see my grandma."

"Looking for grandma? Go to the Yamen to look for her. This is the Prime Minister's Mansion. Get out of here."

"Hey, my grandma is working in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Of course I came here to find her. Why are you so mean?" Yu Yan was not convinced and rushed forward and shouted. At this time, Cao Duo was walking out of the house. The guard immediately saw this. Block the rain.

"Ignorant bastard, there is no grandma here for you, get out of here." The guard pushed her. Cao Duo walked out of the gate and was about to get into the sedan. He saw Yu Yan beside him and felt that he had seen her before.

"Are you people from the Prime Minister's Mansion so unreasonable? I'm just here to find someone, not to make trouble. You treat the people like this, it's really a bully." Yu Yan cursed angrily.

"How dare you utter such arrogant words in front of your Excellency!" A guard brandished a knife.

"Stop!" Cao Duo shouted to stop, and the guard immediately retracted his knife.

"Who taught you to be so ignorant of the rules? How can you be so rude to the people, especially such a beautiful girl?" Cao Duo looked at Yu Yan.

"Yes, the villain deserves to die." The guard clapped his hands.

"Girl, I didn't scare you, did I?" Cao Duo said softly.

"If you had been one step later, I would have been dead." She deliberately told the guard.

"How is this possible? How could I let such a beautiful girl die in vain?" Cao Duo reached out to pat Yu Yan on the shoulder with ill intentions.

"By the way, I just heard you say that you are here to find someone? Who are you looking for?" Cao Duo took back his hand and asked.

"Looking for my grandma to do some odd jobs in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Your grandma?" Cao Duo couldn't figure out which of the old ladies in the house was her grandma.

"Where are you from?"

"Qiantang."

"Qiantang? A good place." Upon hearing that she came from Qiantang, Cao Duo immediately became paranoid.

"you are?"

"This is Mr. Cao, the Minister of Punishment, and the son of Cao Xiangguo. Today's uncle, don't you even know this?" said a follower next to him.

"Ah? It turns out to be Mr. Cao. My little girl has met Mr. Cao, and I hope you will forgive me for being rude." Yuyan hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Girl, get up quickly, no need to be polite." Cao Duo helped her up.

"Are you sure your grandma is in the prime minister's mansion?"

"Yes, Master Xu said it, it's absolutely true." Yu Yan said confidently.

"Master Xu?"

"Well, I'm inspecting the governor, Mr. Xu Shilin." Yu Yan was quite proud of the mention of Shilin.

"Do you know Xu Shilin?"

"Yes, Mr. Cao, can I go in and find grandma?" Yu Yan blinked.

"Yes, of course, you can come with me."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao." Yu Yan followed Cao Duo into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"You take her to the guest room, say it's her grandma's room, and ask her to wait. Watch her outside and don't let her run away." Cao Duo muttered a few words to the attendants around him.

"Yes, sir."

"I haven't asked the girl her name yet, can you tell me easily?" Cao Duo deliberately inquired further.

"My little girl's surname is Liu, her first name is Yuyan, and her surname is the same as my grandma's."

"Oh, it turns out she is Ma Liu's granddaughter. Take this girl to Ma Liu." He followed and blinked.

"Yes, sir, please come this way, girl." The attendant understood and immediately signaled.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Cao." Yu Yan happily followed her entourage. Cao Duo looked at her and immediately went to find Cao Gan.

Shi Lin and others also took a short rest on the road, and then they started on their way without stopping at dawn, but they didn't see Yu Yan along the way, and they arrived directly at Zuo Xiang's Mansion.

"What, she hasn't been here?" Shilin was surprised.

"Yeah, how could she go out alone?" Gu Zhong sat high in the hall.

"It's all my fault. I didn't expect her to go out overnight after I told her." Baoshan was annoyed again.

"You are too careless. What if she gets lost or encounters a bad person on the road?" Gu Zhong was a little annoyed.

"Is he wandering on the street? He has never been to the capital. He played more when he saw something interesting. Or maybe he hasn't found the Prime Minister's Mansion yet, so he hasn't arrived there yet." Baoshan guessed.

"No, she's so anxious to find her grandma, so she won't be delayed on the way. Didn't you hear the tea shed owner say that she wouldn't even stay overnight? As for finding the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's not difficult to find it. You can get it just by asking.

I know, I calculated the time and it should have arrived a long time ago." Shi Lin said.

"I asked my servants to ask again, and no girl named Yuyan came to see grandma." Mrs. Gu came in and said.

"By the way, Baoshan, when you told her, did you say it was Zuo Xiangfu?" Shilin suddenly asked.

"..., I think I said so." Baoshan scratched his head.

"It can't seem like it, did you say it?"

"I told you, oops, I can't remember. I just saw her looking happy at that time." Baoshan tried his best to recall.

"Oops, she might have found the wrong place." Shilin said.

"You mean she might have gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Gu Zhong said.

"I hope not, but it is possible." Shilin replied.

"It's going to be difficult now. After entering Cao Qian's house, it's not that easy to rescue her. If Cao Gan knows her identity, he will definitely die."

"Teacher, you must think of a way."

"We need to make sure first whether she is in Cao Qian's house."

Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Dad, that girl is from Qiantang. She keeps saying that her grandma works here as a handyman, but there is no woman named Liu in the house. What's more important is that she knows Xu Shilin, and according to her, it was Xu Shilin who told her." Cao Duo. Reporting.

"Could it be that Xu Shilin sent her here as an undercover agent?"

"It's not necessary. Is Xu Shilin playing tricks on us or treating us as fools?"

"Let's go take a look." The two of them walked out of the house together.

Yuyan was taken to a guest room. She looked around. The room was very elegant, but there were no windows.

"Uncle, where is this place?"

"Oh..., you stay here later, wait for the adults to come." After saying this, the entourage exited the room, closed the door and stood guard outside. After a while, Cao Gan and the others came.

"Dad, this is the girl." Cao Duo pointed at Yu Yan and looked at Cao Gan who came in. He was looking at himself with a noble look and he immediately lowered his head.

"Miss Yu Yan, this is Cao Xiangguo." Cao Duo introduced.

"My little girl didn't know that Mr. Xiangguo was coming, so please forgive me." Yuyan immediately saluted after hearing this.

"No gift. I heard from Quanzi that the girl came from Qiantang County?"

"yes."

"Come here to see your grandma?"

"Yes." Yu Yan was a little constrained by Cao Qian's seriousness and did not dare to say more.

"Master Xu sent you here?"

"Yes, no, no, I came here on my own. Mr. Xu told my grandma to do odd jobs here, so I came here secretly." Yuyan said carefully.
