Chapter 186: Wang Family Dowry? Night Visit to Peng Kun's Mansion
"Didn't I tell you that we'll go into the city and support you?" At this moment, many soldiers of the Tiger Roar Cavalry and the maids trained by He Zhaojun changed into the clothes of Wang Yan's attendants and maids, and they looked quite presentable.
He Zhaojun placed a cup of hot tea in Wang Yan's hand and said, "Do you want us to escort you and your dowry to Shouchun, or do you want to stay here and be captured by the bandits who come to investigate? It's your choice."
Wang Yan had no choice.
It’s either the bandits or this group of bandits!
However, it seemed that He Zhaojun wanted to follow him into the city to conceal her identity, so he would not kill her for the time being. Once in the city, she might find an opportunity to instigate Peng Kun to kill He Zhaojun.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan stiffened her neck and pointed at the trembling maid kneeling there: "Then, you release them first, and I will cooperate with you."
He Zhaojun smiled. "You know what's happening," she said. She stood up and pushed Wang Yan onto the carriage. "Let's go! To Shouchun!"
The group set out with great fanfare, eating and drinking, thirsty and traveling by day and sleeping by night. The Tiger Roar Cavalry were strong and sturdy, and even a forced march was no problem for them, but Wang Yan and the others suffered greatly, and even in the carriage, they looked tired all day long.
"Can we stop and rest for a while?" Wang Yan pressed her chest, suppressing the discomfort, and asked He Zhaojun.
He Zhaojun remained noncommittal. "With your dowry, the march has slowed down somewhat, and you're still not satisfied? Do you really think you're still a pampered young lady?"
She raised the car window and said, "Madam Wang said she is tired. Why don't you hurry into the city?" He Chuan had been waiting for this sentence. With a command, everyone rushed to Shouchun, which was not far away.
By the time they entered the city, it was nearly dark. Fortunately, someone from Shouchun had been waiting there. Seeing Wang Yan's convoy, they hurried forward to inquire. Wang Yan's frail, pale face emerged from the carriage, making it difficult for them to question her further.
He Zhaojun changed into the clothes of a maid who came with her dowry, and followed Wang Yan closely. Later, she even took her arm and strode into the house.
"What are you doing! Let me go! We've already entered the city, why don't you leave quickly?" Wang Yan looked at He Zhaojun with fear in her heart, not knowing what she wanted to do.
When they entered Shouchun, He Zhaojun's men had already scattered and hidden in various places, and only one-tenth of them followed her and the other two to the prefectural governor Peng Kun's mansion.
"Don't think I don't know. These people you brought are all good fighters with strict military discipline. They are not ordinary attendants. They came to Shouchun under the pretext of purchasing refined copper, but they actually have other purposes!" Wang Yan's father and brother were also generals. After spending a long time together, she discovered the problem.
He Zhaojun smiled. "So what? Are you going to tell Peng Kun? Or complain to the young Prince Gan'an? You knew this, yet you still led us into the city. Do you think they'll let you go?"
Wang Yan's face turned pale: "What do you mean?!"
"The mountains here are high and the waters are far away. It is quite reasonable that a young girl, unable to bear the fatigue of the journey, died of illness in Shouchun just after arriving." He Zhaojun made a blatant threat and was not afraid of Wang Yan's denunciation at all.
She changed into a neat outfit, avoided being seen, and left through the window: "Stay here, or tomorrow I will make sure you never see your father and brother again."
After warning Wang Yan, He Zhaojun sneaked into Peng Kun's courtyard at dusk and rushed to his study to collect evidence of treason: "Letters, accounts of money..."
He Zhaojun was checking by candlelight, but she felt the flame swaying from side to side, and a bad wind blew. Someone knocked the bamboo slips out of her hand and punched her in the back.
