The guards were already speechless and trembling, knowing that if they did not recover the goods, they would be a punishment that was more terrible than death!

The movement here had already alarmed Qiaolian, and she didn't hide her whereabouts anymore, so she rushed over immediately.

However, when she saw the situation at the scene and listened to what happened to Jia Yun and the guards, she couldn't help but sink in her heart.

This reminded her of a series of strange events that happened in Jiaozhou City recently, from Wu Peng's injury, the disappearance of a thousand catties of gastrodia, to the tragedy of Wu's mansion, and then to the strange appearance of gastrodia, all of which proved that there was an invisible black hand behind it, which was reaching out to the Cao family.

She knew that this matter must be reported to the young master as soon as possible, and she must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise, this black hand will come up with a surprise attack at any time, and the Cao family will be unable to prevent it.

She remembered that last night she had looked around in detail, and there was nothing suspicious, she was sure that there were any suspicious people around, and she was always in a light sleep, not daring to sleep soundly, and if there was any movement, she could not hear it.

Then there is only one explanation, the martial arts of the people who came last night have reached the point of being unpredictable, and even if they don't sleep all night, they can't prevent it.

Qiao Lian knew that she would not be able to find this batch of gastrodia with her own ability, so she immediately ordered Jia Yun and them to return to the city afterwards and wait for the young master's arrangement.

She didn't delay any longer, jumped on horseback, whipped all the way, and went straight to the Cao family's courtyard.

Besides, Cao Ruinan, after Jia Yun and the others left, he sent a number of people to carefully investigate the movements in the city, and be sure to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!

He didn't believe that this person would not leave the slightest trace after doing so many things, and as long as this person lived in this city, he was sure that he would find this person.

He has been so aggrieved for a while, he has grown so big, he has never planted such a big heel!

Actually, he was too careless!

From the time Tianma disappeared and Wu Peng was injured, he should have been vigilant, but he did not respond in time, otherwise the tragedy of Wufu and the reappearance of Tianma would not have happened, and the five million taels of Sangfu would not have been empty.

In front of people, although he behaved very calmly, and took out the 500,000 taels of silver tickets very happily, he was very shocked in his heart.

He couldn't imagine who could have this ability, not only to steal a thousand catties of gastrodia out of the heavily guarded Wu Mansion Courtyard, seriously injure Wu Peng, and kill several guards, but also to kill more than a hundred guards in the Wu Mansion, not to mention killing more than 100 guards, but also killing Wu Jiangxiong, who was strong in martial arts.

Is this person crazy? Doesn't he care about the power of the Cao family? Doesn't he care about the Cao family's settling accounts? So, who could this person be?

Obviously, it was the opposite of the Cao family who did it!

The concubine, the queen, the crown prince, the fifth prince, or the emperor······

Only these people don't take the Cao family in their eyes, because they are mortal enemies of each other, either you die or I die!

However, everyone still maintained a superficial harmony before, and no one really dared to violate each other's core interests, so this series of actions against the Cao family is going to tear the skin?

So what if this person's goal was himself from the beginning? Is it possible for him to avoid this catastrophe? Can these guards around him protect themselves thoroughly?

Thinking of this, Cao Ruinan couldn't help but shudder, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

I have not killed many people in these years, is this retribution in the dark? If this person's martial arts can easily take the lives of so many people, then wouldn't he be in danger?

However, this is not the time to think about this, the top priority is to find out this person, if this person is not removed, the Cao family will have endless troubles!

Just when Cao Ruinan was upset, Qiao Lian quietly walked in.

Because the people in the other courtyard were all arranged by Qiaolian, and they also knew the ambiguous relationship between Qiaolian and Cao Ruinan, so when she came in, the subordinates did not report it.

When Cao Ruinan saw Qiaolian at first glance, he thought he was hallucinating, but when he really confirmed that it was Qiaolian, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and asked urgently: "Why are you back? What happened?"

With a "poof", Qiao Lian knelt on the ground and said ashamedly: "Little master, the slave is incompetent, and Tianma ······ It's gone!"

When Cao Ruinan heard this, he was taken aback, and couldn't help but stand up and shouted, "What do you mean it's gone?

Qiao Lian had no choice but to carefully explain the disappearance of Tianma last night, and when it was over, she said with a crying voice: "Third Young Master, the slave swears, I really didn't hear any movement, Tianma, it's gone, Third Young Master, what should I do next······?" In the end, I couldn't help crying.

She knows Cao Ruinan's difficulties in the house, after all, there are two sisters-in-law above, if it weren't for Cao Ruinan's honesty since he was a child, and he has always been indisputable, she doesn't know if she can grow up.

When he grew up, he rarely worked in the house, and worked hard for the house, just because he didn't want to suddenly lose his life one day.

The little master has been doing a good job, and the old man Cao Peiyao also appreciates this concubine, Cao Ruinan has a place in the house, so he can marry a wife and have children with peace of mind, and live like a person.

But if this matter is known to the rest of the Cao family, her little master will be disgusted by the master, and the situation will be even more difficult, she really feels sorry for the little master!

After Cao Ruinan heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Sure enough, is this person aiming at himself now? Thinking of the other party's unpredictable martial arts, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It's false to say that he is not afraid, after all, although he also has kung fu, but it is okay to bluff people in those two strokes, if he really meets a martial arts master, then he will stop cooking, and his subordinates are also cannon fodder in front of this person, aren't they slaughtered by others?

However, he quickly stabilized his emotions, thanks to Qiao Lian who lowered his head at this time and did not see this scene, he could not let the minions see his vulnerable side.

Thinking of this, Cao Ruinan calmed down, looked at Qiao Lian and said gently: "Get up, your skills are not his opponent, I don't blame you this time!"

After all, Qiaolian is her own person, and she has tried her best to please herself in bed all these years, and she has some feelings, the most important thing is that when she is employing people, she can't let the minions be too chilling!

Besides, if it was that person who shot this time, he would have to thank him for not killing him, otherwise none of these people would have come back!

Qiao Lian glanced at Cao Ruinan gratefully, and stood up obediently.

Cao Ruinan glanced at Qiao Lian and said lightly: "You go out first, rest for a while, there should be news in a while, and you will know if it is a person or a ghost!"
