Knowing that Wang Yu was fine, Ling Chufeng felt much better and asked Wu Changchun to bring some food over as he was really hungry.
During the meal break, I thought that Wang Yu must have returned to Beijing to ask the emperor to investigate the situation here. From what Ling Xiao and the others said, they only found out that there was a problem with the Wuzhou prefect, but there is no evidence at present.
There is a farm in Qinghe County that privately casts silver ingots. There are only physical evidence but no witnesses. It will take at least ten days for Wang Yu to bring people here. It just so happens that he is in Dingzhou and can help find evidence.
After finishing his meal and saying goodbye to Wu Changchun, he rushed to the dilapidated temple. Zheng Shu had already applied medicine and was feeling much better. Seeing Ling Chufeng coming, he hurried forward and asked, "How is the master?"
Ling Chufeng: "Nothing, I've already gone to the capital. I have something to discuss with you now. Let's eat first."
Ling Chufeng knew they had nothing to eat, so he brought some food with him.
Ling Xiao Ling Shuang stepped forward and said, "Thank you, big brother. I haven't eaten for almost a day. I'm so hungry."
Ling Chufeng handed a portion to Meng Yu, "Meng Yu, have some too."
As they ate, Ling Chufeng spoke of his thoughts: "Xiuzhi has gone to the capital to seek help. Right now, the evidence isn't very strong, so I'm thinking that Meng Yu and I should go to the villa again to see if we can find those slaves."
"Ling Xiao, the three of you go stay with Elder Wu and don't run around."
Ling Chufeng thought that the most dangerous place is the safest, and the other party probably didn't expect that these people would return to Dingzhou.
After settling Ling Xiao and the others, Ling Chufeng and Meng Yu went to the village in Qinghe County overnight, but they were still too late. Now the village was deserted and there was nothing there.
The two followed the traces and found the cave in the back mountain where silver and coins were minted. The cave was completely empty, with no one there, only traces of human activity. It seemed that everyone in the village had evacuated after Meng Yu was exposed that day.
The two of them went there in vain and found nothing, so they returned to Wu San in dejection.
"How is it?" Ling Xiao stepped forward and asked.
Ling Chufeng shook his head and said that the manor had been emptied. Ling Xiao and Ling Shuang were also a little discouraged after hearing this.
Thinking of this, Ling Shuang suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Ling Xiao, do you remember when we went to the Wuzhou magistrate's mansion to scout the area, we often saw him going to the study and secret room. Did you think at the time that he had hidden some gold, silver, and treasures and was planning to steal them?"
Ling Xiao: "It's not stealing, it's robbing the rich to help the poor."
Ling Shuang ignored him and continued, "Do you think there might be evidence hidden in his secret room? Otherwise, why would he go in and check it every night? There must be something important hidden there."
He glanced at Ling Xiao and said, "If Ling Xiao hadn't been exposed, we might have gotten it."
Ling Xiao was so angry that he said, "You were the one who exposed yourself. You climbed on the roof and stepped on the tiles and they fell off."
Ling Shuang: "It's you."
Ling Chufeng didn't listen to their lawsuit. Since there was a problem with the Wuzhou magistrate, he decided to go and investigate. Maybe he would get some unexpected results.
This time Ling Chufeng went alone and asked Meng Yu to go to the Qinghe County Magistrate to investigate. He didn't believe that the Qinghe County Magistrate didn't know about such a large mine and manor. He was afraid that the county magistrate was also in the same group with them.
Ling Chufeng had just arrived in Wuzhou and was preparing to go to the prefectural government office in the evening. Wang Yu traveled overnight and arrived in the capital on the fourth night. He did not go home because he was afraid that his parents would worry if they saw him like this, so he went straight to find Zhang Siyuan.
It was evening when Wang Yu rushed back, but the matter in Dingzhou was urgent, so he had no choice but to go forward and knock on the door of Anping Marquis' Mansion.
Zhang Siyuan had just taken off his clothes and lay on the bed when he heard the servant say that there was something urgent.
The second wife got up and dressed him, saying as she tidied, "I wonder who's looking for you so late."
Zhang Siyuan didn't know that it was Wang Yu looking for him. He only knew that the servant said he was in a hurry. He thought it must be an urgent matter. Could it be a business matter?
"It must be an urgent matter, you go to sleep first."
He opened the door and took the jade pendant given by the servant. He didn't expect that the person looking for him was Wang Yu who should be in Dingzhou. Something must have happened so late at night, so he hurried out.
As I walked, I wondered why Wang Yu came back to Beijing at this time. When I walked out and saw the person at the door, I didn't recognize him at all.
"Fix it?"
Wang Yu just remembered what he was dressed like. Not to mention that he was already in disguise and had to travel all night, he was afraid that he would be so dusty that no one would recognize him.
Wang Yu pulled back his beard and said, "Brother Siyuan, let's go inside and talk."
Zhang Siyuan then noticed something about Wang Yu and asked as he walked, "How did it become like this?"
"It's a long story, we'll talk about it when we get there."
Zhang Siyuan led him to the study and poured him another glass of water. "Drink it and tell me what happened."
Wang Yu drank the water and briefly told him what happened in Dingzhou. He then took out a letter and a silver ingot and gave it to him, asking him to go to the palace to find the emperor.
Zhang Siyuan also knew the seriousness of the matter. He took the things and said, "Okay, the palace should not have been unlocked at this time. I'll go right away."
"Well, please trouble Brother Siyuan."
The reason why he came to find Zhang Siyuan was because he knew that even if the palace was locked, as the emperor's cousin, the guards would let him in if there was an emergency.
Wang Yu was really tired, so he asked the servants to prepare food and hot water. He took a nice bath and had a meal, and then sent another portion of the meal to the space. He had not rested these days except for buying food for Cheng Chen and Erbao. After realizing that there was no one around, he also entered the space.
Cheng Chen was feeding Erbao, soaking some white rice in chicken soup and feeding it to him. They had been staying in the space and had not gone out these days. Cheng Chen put down the bowl and saw that it was Wang Yu who came in, "Husband."
