Chapter 429 The more I listen, the more terrifying it becomes
Hearing General Xie's words, Shen Huazheng's brows slightly frowned.
Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia's expressions changed when they heard this. The more they listened, the more creepy it became.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. Even if bandits met passing post station messengers in the wilderness, they did not dare to attack them easily.
Because once you touch the people at the post station, you will be seeking your own death.
But a tavern owner who had no martial arts skills and had never had a conflict with anyone broke into the post station guarded by soldiers for no reason and committed suspicious aggressive behavior.
Is this just ignorance and fearlessness, or is there some hidden story behind this?
Considering what the postmaster said had happened recently in the nearby town, this matter was very serious no matter from which angle we looked at it.
Princess Lejia thought of Wang Zhao's deathly look, as if he was going to die in the next second, and she couldn't help but shudder.
It's weird. It's really weird.
No wonder my grandmother always said that some real events were more exaggerated and terrifying than what was written in the storybooks.
This is so horrible that even an experienced storyteller couldn't come up with it.
But it is also true that many stories in the storybooks also come from life.
She is also a loyal reader of "Folk Records of Strange Things" and has read many strange stories over the years.
But no matter how immersive a story is, it is not as profound as experiencing it in person.
The shock and fear are completely different.
Chen Huazheng looked at General Xie: "General Xie, has this matter been reported? Does the county magistrate know what happened in Pingyu Town?"
Breaking into the post station is no small matter. Regardless of whether Wang Zhao was controlled by someone or acted spontaneously, this matter would not end well.
The town that the postmaster mentioned is not far from here. It is called Pingyu Town and belongs to Kangle County.
Although they were on a mission and could not stay here for long, this matter was not their responsibility.
But these things are so weird that Shen Huazheng always feels that there is some big conspiracy behind them.
General Xie nodded. "I have asked someone to find the county magistrate and inform him of what happened in Pingyu Town. The postmaster has also reported that someone broke into the post station and attacked the soldiers."
After finding out Wang Zhao's identity and a series of strange things that happened in Pingyu Town, General Xie immediately sent someone to find the county magistrate.
From time to time, people disappear in the town, and some people go crazy for no reason, or even behave aggressively and hurt others.
These matters are originally under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.
Logically speaking, the county magistrate should have taken action when many people went missing in Pingyu Town.
General Xie looked around and lowered his voice: "I will continue to have people pay attention to this matter."
Shen Huazheng nodded: "General Xie is still very thoughtful."
The situation in Pingyu Town is so serious, and it has not happened overnight. If the county does not take action, the local government must have big problems.
Since General Xie said so, there must be reliable people who can help him keep an eye on the situation here.
Yun Gan: "You must lock the door tonight, especially Lord Shen. If you find anything wrong, come out to us immediately."
Although Emperor Jingning has arranged guards for Shen Huazheng, she is an imperial envoy after all, and the Northwest Army also has the responsibility to protect her.
In fact, it's not just at the post station that we need to be careful. Yun Gan has already ordered everyone to be more vigilant when traveling tomorrow.
Be careful of some strange people suddenly appearing on the road and attacking you like they did today.
Although they are numerous, it is always better to be cautious.
After all, most of the officials in the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Works are weak scholars. If they encounter a situation like today, they will probably be injured.
Just then, the captain of the guard and several guards also arrived.
They had already learned the whole story from the postmaster, so they hurried here.
The captain of the guards said, "Thank you, General Shen. We will take turns patrolling tonight."
It is their duty to protect Lord Shen, and they have to keep an eye on him no matter what.
General Xie shook his head: "No need, you can rest well tonight, I will arrange for people to patrol. There are also people at the post station."
In addition to the Northwest Army soldiers, the post station also sent heavy troops to guard everywhere, and they did not dare to be careless at all.
Long before Shen Huazheng and his party arrived, the post station had received the news and knew that Shen Huazheng was the imperial envoy sent by Emperor Jingning to the northwest.
Furthermore, Princess Lejia and the girl from the Zhou family were also traveling with them.
If anything happens to these nobles in their inns, they will be held responsible.
The captain of the guards said nothing, but did not change his original decision.
The other guards had the same idea in their minds. They would take turns guarding Lord Shen tonight.
Even if you don't sleep, you must always pay attention to the situation inside and outside the inn.
They were originally sent by His Majesty to protect Lord Shen. If something happened to Lord Shen at this critical juncture, not only would they not be able to report to the emperor, but they might even lose their lives.
Besides, the food that Lord Shen cooks is so delicious and he is such a nice person.
For both public and private reasons, they cannot let anything happen to Lord Shen.
