Chapter 1732 Shu Yu Goes to Report the News
Lu Wu took the basket and replied in a low voice, "She went to the county government office."
"Did you go to the county government office?"
Lu Wu nodded, lowering his voice even further, "I heard that General Huang has entered the city, and she went to find him."
They've already taken over the magistrate's private residence. It seems Magistrate Cheng sensed unrest was brewing here, so he sent his family away beforehand. Now, apart from the loyal servants, the residence is practically deserted.
They arrived silently, entering through an internal secret passage. The people inside the private residence were completely unprepared, making it incredibly easy to take them down.
After taking control of the private residence, they conducted a search of the mansion and found quite a few things. At the very least, they had evidence of Magistrate Cheng's crimes in their hands.
Just then, they received news that General Huang had led his men into the city.
Xia Yi wanted to inform him of everything that was happening in the black market, so she went to find General Huang.
Shu Yu frowned, somewhat worried, fearing that if Xia Yi told General Huang these things, General Huang might not be on guard with those around him and leak them out.
She hurriedly asked, "When did Xia Yi leave?"
"Just now."
After thinking for a moment, Shu Yu said to Lu Wu, "Take me to my private residence, I'll write a letter."
"good."
Lu Wu led Shu Yu and Yuan Gui inside quickly and handed them paper and pen.
Shu Yu worked quickly, briefly summarizing the situation before stopping writing. She then stood up and said, "I'm going to the county government now. You all hide well and wait for my news."
She didn't even bother to bring Yuan Gui with her. She blew on the ink on the note, folded it up, and headed straight for the county government office.
At this moment, the entrance to the county government office was completely silent. There were many people guarding outside, including soldiers brought by General Huang and officials and soldiers from the county town.
However, they didn't exchange a single word or even make eye contact, creating an exceptionally tense atmosphere.
Therefore, as soon as Shu Yu ran over, she instantly attracted the attention of both sides.
Someone stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "Who goes there? If you have nothing important to do, leave immediately."
This man was clearly a soldier brought by General Huang; he was wearing armor and had a cold, sharp gaze.
Shu Yu took a couple of deep breaths, glared at him, and said arrogantly, "I am the Lady of Lu Township of Dong'an Prefecture, personally appointed by the late Emperor. I have important business to discuss with General Huang. You are just a lowly soldier. Do you think you can block my way? Get out of my way."
The man was taken aback. “Stop! Even the village lord is not allowed to trespass.”
Shu Yu gritted her teeth, "You've got some nerve..."
"That's the rule," the soldier said, stepping forward with his knife to block.
Shu Yu took a step back, seemingly wary of the knife in his hand. "Alright, since it's the rule, then go and inform them that Lord Lu Xiang has important business to discuss with your General Huang. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go. If you delay important matters, can you bear the responsibility?"
The soldier frowned, but ultimately, because of Shu Yuxiang's status, he made the trip inside.
General Huang was talking to Magistrate Cheng when he heard that the person who had come from outside was Shu Yu, which surprised him greatly.
He naturally knew the name Shu Yu. She was the adopted daughter of the Shu family, exiled to the southwest, and later managed to escape punishment through her own abilities and was even granted the title of Lady of the Township.
And... Meng Yunzheng's fiancée.
General Huang narrowed his eyes. Lu Xiangjun has arrived, so Meng Yunzheng must have come to Chenggu County as well.
Why didn't they wait for him to come to them? Instead, they came looking for him urgently and without any attempt to hide it as soon as he entered the city.
