Chapter 94
Pei Lingjun had laid an ambush long ago, and this ambush was bound to succeed!
After several fierce battles, the Xiaolong Guards took everyone on board hostage, while the gates of Feixian County remained closed, unaware of what had happened.
As dawn broke on the horizon, the autumn sky in the north turned unusually cold.
The young man wiped the blood splattered on his face with the back of his hand, sat on the chest, propped up his silver knife, and looked down at the kneeling person.
Fang Lue, the deputy of the Tongqing Road Transport Commissioner, was kneeling on the ground in a sorry state, his hands tied behind his back. Whether it was out of fear or cold, his teeth were chattering uncontrollably.
After a long pause, finally realizing the situation, he asked with a livid face, "Who...who exactly are you people?!"
The leader of Longhu Village, still dressed in short clothes and carrying a bandit knife, glanced at Fang Lue with disgust. If it weren't for the fact that his hands were tied, he would have wanted to strip him of his official robes immediately.
"You ask who I am?"
Tu Wen snorted, "I'm a bandit, I specialize in robbing and killing wealthy officials like you!"
The deal between Pei Lingjun and Longhu Village was arranged long ago.
He had the people of Longhu Village keep an eye on the movements of Shangshou Silver in advance, and he also settled in Fei County early on, which enabled him to meet up with the people of Xiaolong Guard so quickly.
This caught Fang Lue off guard.
Fang Lue had never seen Pei Lingjun before. He saw that the dozen or so of them were all dressed in coarse linen clothes. Although there were a few men with outstanding figures among them, it was too dark for him to see them clearly.
Speaking in a trembling voice, "I'm just a gofer. Everything on this ship belongs to someone higher up. You absolutely can't touch it!"
He assumed these "bandits" were just there to rob him and wouldn't dare disturb any high-ranking officials, so he said, "I'll give you money! As long as you let me go, I'll agree to any terms!"
As dawn broke, the young man who had been sitting silently on the chest suddenly let out a sneer, the sound muffled from his chest, a faint mockery.
Realizing that this man was their leader, Fang Lue crawled forward on his knees.
Unexpectedly, a silver knife suddenly appeared across his neck halfway there.
"Behave yourself!"
The young man's eyes were unfathomable as he slowly spoke into the river breeze, "Cui Pei, you take the brothers straight back to Jijing. I don't need to explain what to do next, right?"
The others were puzzled; they had been caught red-handed. "Boss, aren't you coming back with us?"
Pei Lingjun lowered his head and said, "I will handle things in Anyang personally. You just need to return to the capital and report to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty..." Fang Lue murmured, then suddenly remembered something, turned his head sharply to look at the silver knife in the man's hand. The sharp, unsheathed silver knife sliced the river wind into thin strands; that was...
"The Valiant Dragon Guard!" Fang Lue's eyes flashed with fear, his face filled with shock. "You are the Valiant Dragon Guard?!"
Unfortunately, the next moment, his mouth was gagged and he was dragged away.
Pei Lingjun, without taking a break, rushed back to Anyang overnight.
Wen Quan has been taken into their control. His continued absence from Anyang will inevitably attract the attention of the Wen family.
Pei Lingjun wasn't afraid of them discovering anything; the deed was done, and they couldn't escape.
What he was worried about was Wen Shu.
After such a huge incident, can she handle it?
When she finds out the truth, will she hate him?
Pei Lingjun was unaware that he couldn't stop thinking about it.
The Wen family will be convicted sooner or later, but His Majesty is benevolent, so he can plead with His Majesty to give the Wen family members who are unaware of the situation a way out.
The horses galloped back day and night.
By the time Pei Lingjun returned to Anyang, more than half a month had passed.
His Majesty's decree has been issued, ordering An Yuqing, the military governor of Liangzhe, to assist Pei Lingjun in bringing all the officials involved to justice.
