"I am going to Liaodong on a navy warship," Sun Zhixie replied.
"Then what?" Yuan Shu continued to ask.
"Then find a way to meet with the Jiannu and ask them whether the story about Duke Yansheng is true or not."
"Haha," Zheng Chenggong sneered without waiting for Yuan Shu to answer: "What can we do after seeing him? Can we trust what Jian Nu said?"
"Whether it is credible or not will depend on seeing it in person," Sun Zhixie insisted. "You two adults are both reasonable people. You know that you can't just rely on one side of the story when you're solving a case. I hope you two adults will allow us to board the warship to go to Liaodong."

"But we can't let them cause trouble here, can we?" Zheng Chenggong was angry and resentful.
"It's okay. This is not the emperor's territory. They can't cause any trouble."
As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, a soldier rode over from a distance.
Since there were scholars and onlookers outside the government office, he couldn't get in at all.
So he could only dismount and walk through the crowd to Yuan Shu, leaning close to his ear and whispering, "Sir, something big has happened."
