"Since Mr. is Man Kuang's teacher, he knows him better than me, do you think he is someone you can trust?"

Tao Ji's face showed embarrassment: "There is no problem at all in terms of conduct, but in terms of ability, I dare not guarantee it. After all, I haven't sat down with Man Kuang for a few years."

"Ability can be cultivated slowly. Sir, ask him what he thinks tomorrow and see if he is willing to help me."

"Do you really want to accept Mankuang?"

Yao Yu asked Tao Ji rhetorically, "Mr. Why, do you think I'm joking?"

Tao Ji was silent, and finally hugged his fist and said, "I understand."

After chatting for a while, Yao Yu heard more news from Tao Ji's family, and then went down to rest.

Before resting, Yao Yu instructed Yao Bao Chen Zhong not to tell the things he already knew about Man Kuang's replacement of Man Yi.

Otherwise, it will startle the snake.

Only by letting the Manjia relax their vigilance can they kill them with one move.

Yao Bao and Chen Zhong both understood Yao Yu's approach, but Yao Bao didn't understand, and asked Yao Yu if he really planned to recruit Man Kuang.

No matter how you say it, he also has the blood of the whole family in his body.

Hearing this, Yao Yu's expression became strange: "To me, Man Kuang is just a disposable. After the house is cleaned up, he will have no effect."

Yao Bao was surprised: "Then brother, you just said to Mr. Tao Ji..."

Yao Yu smiled, "If you want the horse to run, you always have to prepare some forage for him."

Although Yao Yu said these words with a smile, Yao Bao always felt so cold and cold when he heard it in his ears.

He shuddered, said yes, and turned away.

There was nothing to say that night, and early the next morning, Tao Ji went to see Man Kuang in prison.

As for the Manchu family, after inquiring for a day, they were finally relieved when they learned that Man Kuang's identity had not been discovered.

Time came to night, full of house halls.

Man Sa, who temporarily served as the head of the family, looked at his weakened nephew who was being tortured, and felt distressed.

While asking people to decoct medicine for his nephew to recuperate, he instructed, "Man Yi, this incident has not passed. So during this time, you'd better not go out. Everything will be talked about when the big brother comes back, you know?"

Weak satisfaction was a little nervous: "Second uncle, then, what if that guy Yao Yu finds out and comes to the door to arrest me?"

"Don't worry, everything has a second uncle. Moreover, he has no evidence that we attacked the yamen last night, and at most he only suspects it. It's just that in this case, our family is not afraid of him. Unless he dares to tear his face completely. But even if it's a tear face, a little captain, we don't care about it."

Hearing Man Zuo's words, Man Yi breathed a sigh of relief and completely put his mind at ease.

As he was talking, from outside the hall, he walked in quickly and said in a low voice, "Second master, Mrs. Li is looking for Man Kuang."

Man Zuo frowned, "Didn't you make it clear to that slut?"

"I made it clear, but..."

"Alright, waste, you can't do anything. Bring that slut here."

The butler agreed, and after a while, a woman of about forty years old walked in from outside.

The woman was dressed in coarse cloth, wore a wooden hairpin, her face was covered with dust, and her hands were covered with calluses.

She is none other than Man Kuang's biological mother, Li.

When Li came to the hall, when he saw Man Zuo, he politely gave a thousand blessings, and then he couldn't wait to say, "Second uncle, Kuang'er hasn't come back since he went out yesterday, where is he, is something wrong?"

Man Zuo looked at Li with disgust on his face.

With a wave of his hand, he asked the housekeeper to take Man Yi down first, and then with his hands behind his back, he said to Li with a condescending attitude: "Sister-in-law, why don't I understand what you say, Man Kuang didn't come back, who knows what he went to do?"

Hearing this, Li panicked: "Second uncle, you took Kuang'er with you yesterday

That's not what I said when I left. He can't be found now, you can't leave it alone."

"With so many things in the family every day, I am already busy enough, how can I be in the mood to care about the life and death of a wild seed. Okay, sister-in-law, if it's okay, you can go back and rest, and I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on you."

After saying that, Man Zuo flicked his sleeves and issued an eviction order.

Li wanted to say something more, but two house slaves came up on both sides and forcibly helped Li to go out.

As they walked, they smiled and said, "Okay, madam, don't disturb the second master's busy work, come, we'll send you back."

What can a woman do if she has no status at home, even if she is unwilling?

No, Li was forcibly taken down.

About twenty minutes later, the two house slaves returned to Manzuo to report their lives.

"Do people see dead?"

The house slave took a step forward: "Back to the second master, we have already locked her in the firewood room, and besides, there are people watching day and night. Promise she won't come out again."

Man Zuo nodded: "That's okay, remember, you must not let her go out to find Man Kuang." Otherwise, Manyi's identity will be revealed."

"And what if the lady escapes?"

"Hmph, don't you have a sword or a stick in your hand?"

Hearing this, the two house slaves shivered, then glanced at each other, said yes one after another, and turned away.

···

At the end of the day, Tao Ji came out of the cell and reported the situation to Yao Yu.

It can be seen that Tao Ji's expression is not very good-looking at this time.

He shook his head at Yao Yu, and although there was no exit for a sigh, it was clear that he had failed.

He did not succeed in persuading Man Kuang to surrender.

Hearing the news, Yao Yu was still quite surprised.

It stands to reason that Man Kuang was treated like this in the family, and he was arranged to be a substitute for the dead, no matter what he thinks, he should turn around and be a tainted witness.

Unexpectedly, Man Kuang refused.

"My lord, Man Zuo kidnapped Man Kuang's mother, Li, and asked him to forcibly act Man Yi to take the blame. It's not that he doesn't want to leave the Manchu family, but he doesn't dare."

Yao Yu frowned, "Did he tell you this?"

"Well, Man Kuang also said. There is no need to persuade him anymore. He had made up his mind. My lord, if that's the case, then it's not so easy to deal with the Manchu family."

Yao Bao and Shen Cheng couldn't hold back their impatience, so they got up and said, "Do you still need to make excuses? Just lead the troops over, I see what that Manjia dares to say."

When Tao Ji heard this, he said again and again.

Yao Bao and the others still didn't understand, so they stared and asked Tao Ji, "Why not?"

Tao Ji sighed and said, "No matter what, Manfu is also a Weiyuan general under the account of King Runan, if he doesn't have a good reason to do it rashly. Didn't you give up your own handle? Even if you clean up the house, what will you do when you come back?"
