The fat man was furious and said, "Catch these people who are spreading rumors and misleading people."
Damn, arresting people for a disagreement. Shen Yong was also furious, "How dare you."
He was a seventh-rank official among the prime minister's followers, and what's more, he was originally from the Fifth Prince's Mansion. When he was in the capital, he was flattered wherever he went.
He has worked so hard to make money and suffered so much along the way. If anyone dares to block his path to wealth, it would be like killing his parents. How could he tolerate this?
The fat man was even more arrogant, "Catch them all, don't let any one go."
He only had a few people, and Shen Yong brought sixty or seventy people with him this time. Even if the others stayed in the yard, there were still more than a dozen people around him.
The two sides clashed, and in a few moves the fat man and his gang were knocked down.
The fat man was pinned to the ground, and he screamed angrily, "You are dead."
The diners all ran away. The shopkeeper didn't dare to run far away. He huddled in a corner and shouted, "Let go quickly. His uncle is the commander of the guard, Ji Chengdong, the highest official in Ganzhou City."
Shen Yong was stunned. Is this true? No way, he offended the highest officer right after arriving? How could he still sell goods?
The fat man was very proud, "Yes, my uncle is the most powerful. If you dare to do this to me, you will be in trouble."
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows and spoke slowly, "Commander Wei's nephew is a spy? Oh my God, how could this be? Does Commander Wei know? Does Commander Du know? Does His Majesty know?"
The fat man's smile froze. "You are talking nonsense. You are the spies. Don't even think about leaving Ganzhou City alive. Just wait for me."
Shen Yong was a little worried, "Miss, I couldn't help it for a moment, and it seems I got into trouble."
The situation developed so quickly that he didn't even have time to react before it happened.
Mu Wanqing looked nonchalant, "Oh, I'm best at settling things."
With these words, Shen Yong felt relieved, knowing that there was no one that Third Miss Mu couldn't handle.
"What now?"
Mu Wanqing took a sip of tea and said, "Just wait. I like watching the fun the most."
The fat man didn't understand why they dared to be so arrogant. He threatened, "Do you know what happened to the last caravan that dared to resist? All the goods were confiscated, and all the people were sent to mine..."
Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up. "Where is the mine? Is it a coal mine? Or a gold mine or an iron mine?"
The fat man was stunned. He never expected her to react like this. She must be mentally ill.
Shen Yong slapped him and said, "I'm asking you a question, answer it quickly."
The fat man had never been wronged like this before. He felt his cheeks burning and was extremely angry. "What kind of mine do you care about? Once you go in, you will never come out alive. You have to dig all day long and eat pig food. If you don't obey, you will be beaten. People die every day and no one cares."
Mu Wanqing covered her ears with a look of compassion, "I can't stand hearing such bloody and cruel words. Hey, we are all gentlemen, go ahead and beat them."
"Okay." Shen Yong immediately took out the whip and whipped him twice.
The fat guy was spoiled and would usually cry for a long time if his skin was peeled off. Now he was whipped and it hurt like hell. "Damn, you dare to whip me, I won't let you go... ahhhh."
He rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he wanted to fight outside. If anything happened here, he would be held responsible. "Stop it now, don't fight anymore. Many people will die and the consequences will be very serious."
These outsiders are so bold that they actually dare to offend God. Are they really thinking of losing their lives?
The fat guy was very arrogant just now, but now he was beaten and cried, "Stop hitting me, I was wrong, please stop hitting me."
Mu Wanqing had already written something, "Okay, let him sign it."
The fat man was stuffed with paper and a brush. His mind went dark and he couldn't see what was written on it. "What is it?"
Shen Yong waved his whip and shouted, "Sign or not?"
"Sign, sign, sign." The fat man didn't care what the content was. As long as he escaped this disaster, he would take crazy revenge, a hundred times or a thousand times.
Mu Wanqing reminded, "Let him sign again."
What else can the fat man do? He can only do as he is told.
Mu Wanqing blew on the confession in her hand, raised her eyebrows, and heard a roar from outside, "Listen, everyone inside, the entire inn is surrounded, come out and surrender quickly."
The fat man immediately became full of energy, "My dad is here to save me, hahahaha, you are done."
A faint light flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes, and she raised her chin, "Open the window."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Shen Yong ran faster than anyone else and pushed open the window. A gust of cold wind blew in, and everyone in the room shivered at the same time.
Shen Yong stuck his head out to take a look. Wow, the whole street was full of soldiers holding long arrows. They looked murderous and terrifying.
"Who is downstairs?"
The leading man looked ferocious and said, "I am Captain He under Commander Ji. I order you to release He Feixiong and I will spare your lives."
Mu Wanqing glanced at the fat man and said, "He Feixiong? He looks like a pig."
The fat man was so angry that his eyes were wide open. This brat was the most hateful. Let’s see how he will deal with him after he escapes.
Shen Yong's legs were weak. If he didn't handle the situation well, he would be doomed if he didn't handle the situation well. "Captain He, you have mobilized so many officers and soldiers. Does Commander Ji know?"
There was a fierce light in Captain He's eyes. "My patience is limited. I will count to ten. If you don't surrender, then wait for your death. One, two, three..."
He counted to three, paused, and then counted to ten. "Release the arrow."
Damn, he’s not trustworthy and so cunning.
Shen Yong pulled the fat man over without hesitation and stood in front of him. The fat man was caught off guard and was hit by several arrows. "Ahhh, Dad, save me."
He Qianhu's face changed drastically, "Stop, stop now."
He looked at his son, who was shot like a candied haws by the arrows, and felt distressed and angry. "You are so despicable, let Feixiong go."
Shen Yong hid behind the fat man and said coldly, "This is a spy from Bei Chu. Are you sure you want to let the spy go?"
"You're talking nonsense. We in the He family are loyal and brave..." Captain He was furious. How could this lunatic come from?
Mu Zicheng dragged a fat subordinate to the window, holding a confession letter in one hand.
"This is the confession he signed. It clearly states that he was bribed by Northern Chu and deliberately relied on his special relationship with Commander Ji to disrupt the trade, undermine the relationship between the two countries, and destroy the reputation of the Ji Mansion. He also dragged the Commander-in-Chief into the water, allowing Northern Chu to successfully annex a large area of Xiliang..."
"Swoosh." A long arrow shot over. Mu Zicheng retracted his head at the right time, and the arrow hit the beam and penetrated three feet into the wood, which showed how powerful the arrow was.
Mu Zicheng was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Mu Wanqing frowned, got a little annoyed, and shouted loudly.
"They killed people to silence them. The He family killed people to silence them. The He family are spies and provocateurs. They are the running dogs of the people of Northern Chu. They sold out information and the interests of Qi in exchange for money. They are shameless, shameless, and despicable... Traitors must be killed by everyone..."
As she spoke, the soldiers' faces changed and they looked at their superiors with suspicion.
Is this true or false?
Captain He was so angry that his limbs turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent rose in his heart, "Bullshit, our He family is loyal and would rather die than be a spy. I think you are the spies, brothers, they are using a counter-espionage scheme. We have been brothers for many years, and you still don't believe in me?"
"We can't let them leave alive today. Listen to my command and raise your arrows!" There is no other way but to kill all these people and then find a way to clear his name, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
At the same time, Mu Wanqing also shouted, "Listen carefully, we will fight to the death with the He family, the spies of Northern Chu. We must not retreat even if we have to die. We must be loyal to the Great Qi Dynasty and to His Majesty the Emperor."
Mu Zicheng followed without hesitation, "Serve the Great Qi Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor."
"Be loyal to the Great Qi Dynasty and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." Shen Yong and his group shouted in unison. Dozens of people shouted together, creating a tragic atmosphere of sacrificing one's life for the country.
The soldiers silently put down their arrows. How could they fight? Attacking their own people was a crime of conscience!
Captain He's face turned pale and his hands were shaking. The He family had worked hard for decades and had finally climbed to this point, but they were going to capsize in a small ditch?
No, he was unwilling.
"Brothers, don't listen to their lies, they..."
Mu Wanqing wrote a small note and handed it to Shen Yong. After Shen Yong read it, a strange look appeared on his face. He took a deep breath and said, "Guard Jiang from the Fifth Prince's Mansion wants to see Commander Ji."
He Qianhu gasped, "Fifth Prince? Didn't you say the Guo family in Jiangnan? What's wrong?"
"Do you have any proof?"
Shen Yong really felt that the Fifth Prince had been treated badly, but this time Miss Mu San was actually going to help him improve his reputation? Is this... normal? He didn't dare to ask.
"This is the token of the Fifth Prince's Palace. My trip is a secret investigation and I didn't want to make it public. But I encountered something like this and couldn't resolve it. So I had no choice but to ask to see Commander Ji."
A secret investigation made everyone change their expressions.
Captain He was especially confused. What a bunch of losers, so useless. They didn't even find out the other person's identity, yet they came to the house in such a hurry to ask for money.
The stupidest one is his son, who only cares about money and dares to grab the money in the frying pan. He has no shortage of food and drink!
He didn't say anything, so naturally someone spoke up, "Commander Ji is not in the city. He is out on patrol. I don't know when he will be back."
Shen Yong frowned slightly, "Who is the person in charge in the city?"
Everyone looked at Captain He, whose face turned pale and blue.
Shen Yong sneered, "No wonder he is so arrogant. Commander Ji is so indulgent to his nephew and uncle, which makes people think too much."
This situation is so awkward, I don't know how to end it.
A clear voice rang out, "How can a concubine's brother and nephew be considered proper relatives? I don't have an uncle like Commander Ji, and my father doesn't have such a brother-in-law."
I saw a young girl in red riding a fine horse coming towards me. She was dressed in bright red and looked very energetic, as bright as the morning sun.
"The eldest lady of the Ji family is here."
The red-dressed girl reined in her horse and looked up at the second floor. "Ji Cheng, the eldest daughter of the Ji family, greets the guard. I wonder if I can talk to the person behind you?"
Shen Yong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Mu Wanqing. Mu Wanqing was playing with the teacup and said, "Please ask her to come up." There are still some smart people.
"Please come up."
The girl in red jumped off the horse with swift and dashing movements, and walked towards the inn calmly with a whip in her hand. A soldier stopped her and said there was danger.
But she just smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."
Inside the store, Mu Ziang looked confused, "Sister, is it really okay for us to help the Fifth Prince gain prestige like this?"
Since I have offended someone so much, of course I will just go all the way to the end. There is no reason to show goodwill anymore. It's too late now.
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "It's all bad news, can the emperor believe it? Besides, is it a good thing for a prince to gain prestige at the border?"
The author has something to say:
Thank you all for your concern and blessings, I love you all, I’m fine now, really!
