"No news!" Emperor Tianwu's face darkened.
"How come there is no news at all!?"
The more this happened, the more he wanted to get rid of Chen Yong.
So many people failed to kill Shen Yong. If he lets Shen Yong escape, he will never be able to rest easy in the future.
How could the Shen family's accomplices be so powerful? If this were a rebellion...
When Emperor Tianwu thought of this, he suddenly felt panicked.
No, Shen Yong must be eliminated as soon as possible, and no one from the Shen family can be left alive.
"I will send someone to check..."
Tianhong lowered his head and decided to send ten more people to catch up and see what happens.
With so many people here, it's impossible for them to just stay like this without a sound.
Emperor Tianwu looked at Tianhong steadily.
After a long while, he took a deep breath.
"You—go in person and make sure to kill Chen Yong."
Tianhong was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Emperor Tianwu.
"......yes!"
He has always been protecting Emperor Tianwu closely.
He really didn't expect that Emperor Tianwu would actually send him out.
Tianhong left the imperial study with a lot on his mind.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Dark Guard Camp was to instruct the most powerful person in the camp to protect Emperor Tianwu every day.
He took two secret guards with him and rode at full speed to hunt down Shen Yong...
.......
On the other side, Cavalry Captain Wan Dayong also arrived at Danyun City with 2,000 elite soldiers.
"Master Wan...this..."
Prefect Wen, accompanied by Mr. Zhang, the lawyer, greeted Wan Dayong in a panic.
What's going on?
He asked his servant Xu Shou to deliver a letter to Minister Jiang, asking why Minister Jiang sent so many people.
The commotion has caused such a big stir, could it be that Emperor Tianwu is really going to take off his official hat?
Thinking of this, Governor Wen's legs couldn't help but feel weak.
Fortunately, his family had arranged to send him away two days ago.
He delayed a little longer to prevent these people from catching up so quickly.
God bless, I hope his family can escape safely.
"Lord Wen!"
Wan Dayong jumped off his horse and glanced at Wen Zhifu calmly.
"Are the escort officers who exiled the Chen Yong family in the city?"
The magistrate Wen, who looked dead, was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked at Master Zhang who was supporting him.
“Are you there?!”
He was so worried about his own affairs recently that his brain was about to explode. He fell asleep every day and had no time to notice whether Chen Yong and his family passed by Danyun City.
Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, his eyes twitched slightly.
“No, he’s not here!?”
Ever since Xu Shou went to the capital to deliver a letter to Minister Jiang, he has been feeling uneasy.
His family members have been arranged to leave, but he and Magistrate Wen are still there.
He looked forward to it day and night, hoping that Xu Shou could bring some useful news.
It would be best if it was good news, he wouldn't have to run away.
If it was bad news, he and Prefect Wen could run away early.
If it really doesn't work, I'll go hide in that mountain range and buy some more time for my family.
Otherwise, if they were caught, they would not be able to withstand the torture.
Wan Dayong listened to the conversation between the two and raised his eyebrows.
"If I'm here, I'm here. If I'm not here, I'm not here. What do you mean by not here?!"
It's strange, why do the Shen family members run so fast?
However, he had another mission on this trip.
Thinking of this, Wan Dayong's eyes moved back and forth between Prefect Wen and Lawyer Zhang.
The sweat on Master Zhang's head immediately fell off. He thought carefully and estimated the time.
“Shen Yong’s family hasn’t arrived yet!”
How could an exiled prisoner walk that fast? Moreover, there were so many weak female members in the Shen family, so they would only walk slower.
“Not here yet!?”
Wan Dayong frowned, "Are you sure?"
He followed them all the way, but he didn't see any of the Shen family members at any post station.
Either the Shen family has already passed Danyun City, or... ran away?
But even if he ran away, he would have to pass by Danyun City.
"......" Master Zhang glanced at Wan Dayong with evasive eyes, and then he made up his mind.
"Indeed, he hasn't arrived yet. I haven't heard the guards at the city gate mention it."
"The Imperial Guards have come to Danyun City?"
Wan Dayong glanced at Master Zhang and looked at Prefect Wen who had remained silent.
Wen Zhifu was stunned and blinked his eyes.
"...Yes, but he's gone."
Wan Dayong is a close confidant of Minister Jiang. What exactly is he doing in Danyun City?
Sometimes he asked Chen Yong, sometimes he asked the palace guards, but he never asked about the silver.
Prefect Wen pursed his lips and looked at Wan Dayong with a confused heart.
"Master Wan, you have had a hard time on this journey. I will arrange for you to stay first..."
Wan Dayong glanced at Wen Zhifu calmly.
"Okay, just arrange for us to stay at the prefectural government office."
Normally, a prefect would live in the prefectural government office.
However, generally speaking, the prefect would buy his own house not long after taking office, and his family would live in the house he bought.
As for the prefectural yamen, it became a simple office space.
"Okay!" Prefect Wen nodded, "Master Wan, please follow me..."
Wan Dayong followed Magistrate Wen, his eyes constantly scanning both sides of the road.
Not long after they left, Wan Dayong suddenly said,
"Danyun City is quite lively. It seems that the people are not affected by the drought."
"Look at the door of this pawnshop. There are quite a lot of people. They must be making a lot of money..."
Magistrate Wen paused and looked at the pawnshop with a stiff face.
