Chapter 1733 The shrewish and unreasonable Shu Yu
General Huang sensed something was wrong, so he said to the soldier, "Let her in."
As soon as Shu Yu entered, she looked around and finally her gaze fell on General Huang. Before the latter could speak, she ran over and said urgently, "You must be General Huang. I heard you came here to suppress bandits, right? You must help me."
Everyone present was stunned. Magistrate Cheng quickly stood up, forced a smile, and stepped forward to persuade her, "Miss Lu, I am the magistrate of this county. Please speak slowly. If you need any help, just ask me, and I will do my best to help you."
Shu Yu waved her hand, not even looking at him, "You can't do it."
Magistrate Cheng's smile faltered.
Shu Yu continued, "General Huang, it's like this, my fiancé is a scholar from Chenggu County. Oh, right, that's Meng Yunzheng. General Huang, you're from the capital, you should have heard of him, right? He's very famous."
General Huang nodded hesitantly, somewhat confused about what Shu Yu was trying to do.
"General Huang, my fiancé's uncle was kidnapped by bandits a few days ago. You have no idea how lawless those bandits are; they dare to break into people's homes and kidnap people in broad daylight. You have to help me and rescue him."
Magistrate Cheng's lips twitched, and he squeezed in again, saying, "Lord Lu, we know about the arrest of the Meng family's head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), and we've been searching for him these past few days. Don't worry, we'll have news of him soon."
"You said yourself that you've been searching for the past few days, but you still haven't found them. You don't have enough men under your command." Shu Yu said disdainfully, then turned to General Huang and said, "How about you lend me some men, General Huang? I know you're a skilled warrior, and your soldiers are also very capable. I've heard that you have scouts under your command who are particularly good at reconnaissance. How about you lend me two scouts? I'll return them to you as soon as they find the person."
"Nonsense!" Before General Huang could speak, one of the men beside him shouted angrily, clearly furious. "Do you even know what scouts do? You make it sound so easy, and you even want to lend me two? Let me tell you, we're here on business, not to find people for you. This is utterly absurd."
Shu Yu glared at the man. Very well, this was the inside man Yuan Gui had mentioned earlier, the one who led General Huang's horse.
She gritted her teeth, stepped forward fiercely, and shoved him aside.
"The Lord of Honjo is talking to General Huang. What business is it of yours? Who do you think you are? Get out of my way."
Pushing past the man, Shu Yu stood beside General Huang, her expression slightly excited. She grabbed General Huang's arm and shook him urgently, saying, "General Huang, you must help me. Don't worry, once we find the person, we will definitely not treat you unfairly. Meng Yunzheng is currently a top scholar in the imperial examinations, and he will definitely become the top scholar in the imperial examinations in the future. Also, I know Grand Tutor Qi, and he has taken good care of me."
The moment General Huang was grabbed, he felt a piece of paper being slipped into his palm.
He looked up in surprise, then quietly put the note away.
He then stood up and reassured Shu Yu, "I understand what Lu Xiangjun said, but we really can't lend out scouts. Don't worry, I'll be out of the city to suppress the bandits right away. Once those mountain bandits have been captured, no matter who they took with them, they will eventually be released."
