Chapter 227 None of them are simple characters
"My Lord, I feel wronged..."
“It’s unfair…”
“…”
Starting from the first cry of injustice, cries of injustice were heard one after another outside the county government office.
Looking at the corpses being dug out one after another, the five people realized that something was wrong and immediately sent out Xuan Shijiu, the fastest one, to quickly go to the capital and contact various groups along the way to have them quickly go to Qiyang County.
Qing San and his group, who were the first to receive the news, asked Xuan Shijiu to go to the capital quickly and they would take care of the rest.
So, when Xuan Shijiu arrived in the capital and landed directly at General Xu's residence, Xu Yulan was surprised and came over in a hurry.
"What happened?"
"General Xu, this incident is probably quite serious. When the Nineteenth left Kaiyang County, they had already dug up nearly twenty bodies."
"Moreover, the Qiyang County magistrate and his advisor are also accomplices. County magistrate Zhou Fin and the wealthy businessman Zhou Yi are brothers."
Hearing this, Xu Zhou, who was walking quickly with Xu Yulan, was shocked. "What!"
"What's going on?"
Xuan Shijiu paused for a moment, then told him how they met Wei Dachu on the road, heard his story, and then went to Qiyang County in Qintang Commandery...
After hearing that dozens of young men and women had gone missing from Qiyang County, and that bodies had been dug up in the courtyards of the county magistrate, his advisor, and the wealthy businessman, Xuzhou shouted angrily, "Beasts! You're worse than beasts..."
"Father, this matter is too serious. There may be other implications. I will go talk to Minister Wu and then go to Qiyang County immediately."
After Xu Yucang finished speaking, he walked out quickly.
Xu Yulan whispered a few words in his father's ear, then quickly left the house and ran towards the Second Prince's house.
Qintang County, if he remembered correctly, was the place governed by the current crown prince's disciples.
Now, everyone in the capital knows that the person in high position favors the crown prince. Perhaps only the second prince can make the decision on this matter.
At the same time, it is also the best opportunity to test the second prince.
Tianyi looked at Xuan Shijiu and said, "Shijiu, Qiyang County is not too far from Yushan. Has this matter been reported back?"
"Qing San said he would be responsible for reporting back, so I quickly came to the capital."
Tianyi nodded, then looked at Xuzhou and said, "Old General, we are worried that something unexpected might happen in Qiyang County. I will take two people with me and go with Xuan Shijiu. If these evil people are not eliminated, the world will not be at peace."
"Okay. Be careful on your journey."
"Yes. Qi Rang Mo Xiao, I'll trouble you to take care of the capital."
"That's fine. This matter is likely to be quite complex, so your journey won't be smooth sailing. Be careful."
"clear."
"Tian Ming Ning, let's go."
"yes."
As soon as Tianyi finished speaking, the four of them quickly left the General's Mansion and headed towards Qiyang County...
The Second Prince's Mansion.
"Master, General Xu is here to visit. He said he has something important to tell you."
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Wu Yun, who was sitting in the yard, asked in confusion: "Oh, did Xu Yulan say anything?"
"It's just that human lives are at stake, and the implications are huge."
"Oh please come in."
"yes."
Not long after, Xu Yulan followed the housekeeper to the courtyard and saw Wu Yun leaning on a recliner, his face pale and in poor spirits.
After approaching, he politely greeted him, then said, "I know I shouldn't disturb the Second Prince's recuperation, but this involves dozens of lives, so I have no choice but to ask for your help."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yun's drooping eyelids slightly opened. Looking at the solemn Xu Yulan, he asked softly, "Why do you need help from a sickly person like me? General Xu, are you kidding?"
Xu Yulan, with a solemn expression, did not argue. He simply slowly told the story and then quietly waited on the side...
After listening to Xu Yulan's story, the second prince Wu Yun was so shocked that he almost sat up.
Qintang County, isn't the county governor a disciple of his brother, the Crown Prince?
Moreover, according to the information he received, Qintang County would send a gift to the prince every year. However, no one except the prince and his disciple knew what the gift was.
Qintang County has more than one Qiyang County. If...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Then, the Second Prince Wu Yun's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "How is this possible!"
"Xu Yulan, do you know what it means to slander the prince?"
"I know! Every word I say is true, not a single lie. Even if the Second Prince wants to punish me, I am not afraid. I am only speaking out for the injustice done to the people of Qiyang County."
Looking at the fearless Xu Yulan, who spoke righteously, the Second Prince nodded fiercely in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke: "Since that is the case, then your Highness will send someone to accompany you to Qiyang County as soon as possible to personally investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Yun Er."
"I'm here."
"Take the sword that my father bestowed upon me. With it, it will be as if my father himself has arrived. If you encounter anyone who resists or refuses to cooperate, kill them first and then report back. As for my father, I will speak to him after you have sent me news."
"yes."
Hearing this, Xu Yulan felt relieved and spoke again, "Second Prince, before I left, my brother had already gone to look for the Minister of War, Lord Wu..."
Just as he said this, a man who looked like a servant came quickly and whispered a few words in the second prince's ear. After the second prince nodded, the man left quickly.
At this time, Wu Yun said, "They are coming."
Not long after, Wu Shijie, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, came hurriedly with Xu Yucang. When they saw Xu Yulan was also there, they understood what was going on. Before they could even exchange greetings, they heard Wu Yun's voice.
"Lord Wu, if there's a sudden change in Qintang County, there might be an undercurrent in the capital as well. You can send a few men to accompany General Xu, while you and General Xu will stay in the capital just in case."
Hearing this, the two of them nodded in agreement.
After Wu Shijie and Xu Yulan agreed on the time, they quickly left to make arrangements.
It takes only a cup of tea.
Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiu, and Xu Yulan met up outside the city, and then quickly headed towards Qiyang County...
Xu Yucang, who was left in the Second Prince's Mansion, thought to himself at this moment: It turns out that none of the people in the royal family are simple.
The second prince has been "suffering from a serious illness" for many years, and it was unexpected that it was for self-protection. When his father told him this possibility, he still didn't believe it and said that his father was talking nonsense.
Today, Wu Shijie brought me to the prince's mansion. I was still confused, but now I realize that I was the fool.
well……
Looking at Xu Yucang who had been sitting silently, the Second Prince Wu Yun smiled faintly and said, "General Xu is in good health."
"Thank you, Second Prince, for your concern. Although my father's health is not as good as before, compared to other elderly people, he is still quite strong."
"I think so. The first time I went to the military camp, I went with General Xu. When we get back, take me to say hello to General Xu."
Then he looked at Xu Yucang and said softly, "After you go back, pay attention to the safety of the general's mansion. If you can get the news, they will also know it. Okay, Yun Qi, send General Xu back to the mansion."
"yes."
