Chapter 1772 Good News from Meng Yunzheng
By now, everyone had composed themselves, turned around with their family members' belongings, and thanked Shu Yu.
Shu Yu told them to take care of themselves and that if anything happened, they could seek help from the county government.
Everyone nodded and left the abandoned mansion together.
Seeing their heads bowed, unable to hide their grief, Shu Yu sighed. When she looked up again, the snowflakes were falling even harder.
With such heavy snow, I wonder how Meng Yunzheng and Qi Lie's plans are going.
Just as she was thinking this, Xia Yan rushed in, snowflakes still falling on his clothes and hair. After walking to the corridor, he quickly shook himself off and said excitedly, "Second Miss, the young master's letter is good news."
Xia Yan had been helping out at the city gate for the past few days, so he was the first to know about the news from outside.
Shu Yu didn't expect that she had just been thinking about Meng Yunzheng when he sent her news.
She quickly took the letter from Xia Yan's hand and eagerly opened it to read it.
The letter contained only a few lines, yet it made Shu Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
Yingxi asked, "Miss, how is it going with Young Master Meng?"
Shu Yu curled her lips into a smile that she couldn't hide. "Everything went smoothly. A-Yun and Qi Lie have already taken over Changjin Prefecture."
"So fast?" It's only been three days.
Shu Yu laughed, "Actually, ever since we discovered that something was wrong with Changjin Prefecture and reported it to the capital, the Emperor has sent people here to investigate secretly. It's much easier for a few strangers to sneak into the prefectural city than into the black market, so they're not entirely without help. Moreover, General Huang hasn't engaged in a full-scale battle with the rebels in the black market yet, only occasional small-scale skirmishes, and he has enough manpower to spare for helping them."
Therefore, although their timeframe is short, the preliminary preparations have been quite lengthy.
They even know who are good people who can be bribed and who are die-hards who they threaten to eliminate first.
Compared to Chenggu County, it is actually easier to make plans in the prefectural city.
"Has the young master said when he will be back?" Xia Yan asked.
Shu Yu shook his head. "Although the plan went relatively smoothly, the prefect of Changjin Prefecture resisted fiercely after realizing he had been exposed. He was forced to try to escape by jumping into the water, but he drowned. With no survivors, the aftermath in the prefectural city has become complicated, and the manpower is only slightly less than that in Chenggu County. I'm afraid A-Yun and Lord Qi won't be able to return for the time being."
The weather was cold at this time of year, and people were dressed in thick clothes. If someone fell into the water, their clothes would become soaked and their body would become heavy and cumbersome. When the prefect was pulled out of the water, he was already dead.
However, it's good that the matter is resolved.
Shu Yu put the letter away and called to Shang Yingxi and Xia Yan, "Let's go back to the escort agency and tell Uncle Meng and the others the good news."
It was still snowing outside, but Shu Yu didn't care. She rushed into the snow and ran towards the Meng Family Escort Agency.
Halfway there, they ran into Meng Pei driving a carriage.
She quickly stepped forward, "Uncle Meng, where are you going?"
"Go to the Mi Family Clinic. The snow is getting heavier and it might not stop anytime soon. I was thinking of bringing your uncle home. Doctor Mi said that it's no problem for him to go home and rest."
Shu Yu slapped her forehead; how could she have forgotten about this?
"Uncle Meng, I'll go with you."
