At the door of the inn, a middle-aged man walked quickly towards Yi.
"I greet the Madam and Miss."
"Uncle Wu, you've worked hard. Let's go to the inn first."
Everyone followed Uncle Wu into the inn. Jun Shutong ate melon seeds while listening to the conversation. She also wanted to know what was going on.
Xia Xue poured tea for everyone and stood guard at the door of the room.
Yi took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "Uncle Wu, how is the situation going? Have you found any clues?"
"Madam, we initially followed the line of investigation of the Turkic authorities, but after some time of investigation, I found that it was not the Turkic authorities who did it."
Yi and Chen Feng looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. This was different from what they had speculated.
Uncle Wu continued, "According to the guard who woke up, during the fight, he accidentally saw a man in black with his veil falling. His appearance was clearly that of a man from Dayu."
"The appearance, height, and skin color of the Dayu people are very different from those of the Turks."
"It's well known that all Turkic warriors are big, strong, and have dark skin. They are called chimpanzees on the mainland."
"Those people wore Turkic clothing and used Turkic weapons, but their figures and skin color were the same as those of the Yu Kingdom. Their intention was to pin the blame on the Turks and confuse the public."
Yi's face was frosty, as if he had thought of something.
"From the very beginning, you were looking in the wrong direction."
Chen Feng also realized: "It seems that the robbers' ultimate goal is not to come for our goods. If they want to attack, the best time would be when the caravan passes through the Mysterious Beast Forest. There is no need to wait until we enter the Turkic City to act."
"If they take action here, there is only one possibility: to provoke a dispute between the Jun family and the Turks."
Jun Shutong pricked up his ears and became more and more confused the more he listened.
Then Yi said, "I'm afraid it's not just to sow discord between the Jun family and the Turks, they want to drag the Dayu Kingdom into it as well."
"If we follow the lead of the Turkic authorities, the Jun family will put pressure on them to return the goods."
"And since we don't have any substantial evidence, the Turkic authorities would have a reason to arrest us. Since I'm the mistress of the Jun family, they could use my life and mine as leverage and demand things that the Dayu Kingdom would never agree to."
"Given the Emperor's suspicious nature and the Fujiwara clan's mischief, His Majesty will surely disagree, and then my husband will recklessly send troops to the Turks."
"The end result was that the Jun family not only bore the charge of treason, but also made a powerful enemy, the Turks. This meant they were attacked from both sides and were in a difficult position."
"hiss."
Chen Feng, Xia Xue, and Uncle Wu gasped.
"What a vicious plot! They're taking advantage of the suspicions between the two monarchs to push the Jun family into the spotlight."
The Turks and Dayu had never gotten along, and they would have started fighting at the slightest accidental clash. Someone wanted to add fuel to the fire.
"To come all the way to the Turkic territory to rob supplies, only the Jun family's old enemy could be so well-intentioned..."
"The Fujiwara family."
Chen Feng and others blurted out, and Yi nodded.
"Damn it! Did everyone in the Fujiwara family grow up eating shit?"
"They don't even think about who is responsible for the stability of Dayu Kingdom today. If the Jun family falls, who will be able to defend this vast territory? Will they rely on that useless emperor?"
"Bang"
Uncle Wu angrily slammed his palm on the table, and crumbs scattered all over the floor.
Jun Shutong was also furious: [Why do the Fujiwara family always pick on the Jun family? They are as annoying as rats.]
[System, quickly check where the Jun family's lost goods are.]
Yi put down his teacup and eavesdropped while discussing with a few people.
[We've tracked down the host. The goods are in a villa in this county town. The villa doesn't have a name, but there's a tofu stall at the entrance.]
Jun Shutong became even more anxious: "Ah, then how should I tell my mother that I figured it out?"
Then, Yi said, "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. I guess this batch of goods must still be in Turkestan."
"Why are you so sure, madam?" asked Uncle Wu.
"If it was you who robbed the Jun family's goods, would you transport them back to the capital to deal with them?"
"Of course not. I will wait until the storm has died down and then sell the goods locally or elsewhere."
Uncle Wu suddenly realized, "I understand. The closest country to the Turks is Xiliang. They've been in constant conflict with Xiliang for years, so they wouldn't take Turkic goods to sell there."
"The rest is the Mystical Beast Forest. Selling it to the Mystical Beasts is even more impossible. They are a race that wears leaves."
"The other one is Persia, and Persia is Dayu's neighbor. They can't take this risk. So the only one left is the Turks. No wonder Madam said that the most dangerous place is the safest place."
Jun Shutong's eyes sparkled. Before she could think of any excuse, Yi had already figured out the key point. She was indeed her mother.
"Twenty carts of cloth are too big for a small place to hold, especially a larger house. Don't miss out on any of them."
Several people answered "yes" in unison.
Yi gave some instructions, asked Xia Xue to take care of her daughter, and then left the inn in a hurry.
With a rough target and two hundred guards, Jun Shutong was not worried about not being able to retrieve the goods.
But the reality was not as optimistic as she thought. It was not until dark and midnight that there was a knock on the door.
Xia Xue opened the door and a strong smell of blood hit her face. Two guards helped Chen Feng into the house quickly.
"Go find a doctor quickly, Chen Feng won't last much longer." Yi ordered.
