Chapter 110: Unrest Outside the Pass
He complained and quickly read all the information.
“Everyone is outside.”
Li Laosan nodded repeatedly, "Except for one that was snatched away by the Jun people, the others are all here."
"What do you mean by being kidnapped by the Jun people? What's going on?" The person in charge of receiving the items became interested and simply pulled up a chair and sat down, looking as if he wanted to listen to the story.
Seeing that he did not blame him for losing someone, Li Laosan put his worries aside for the time being and began to describe in vivid detail what happened on the road of exile.
At the end, Li Laosan burst into tears and said, "Master Jun, you don't know, our journey has been very difficult. Our leader Wang Tao died when we were crossing the Lan River."
"Your boss Wang Tao is gone." The person who received the message was very surprised, but thinking about the various thrilling things Li Laosan had just said, he realized that this was very normal.
Li Laosan nodded, his face full of sadness. "We didn't have time to rescue them, their raft drifted away. When we get back, we'll ask around along the way, maybe he..."
The person receiving the group sighed a few times, then clapped his legs and stood up. "Let's go, I'll go count the number of people, right?" Then he looked at Li Laosan and said meaningfully, "I hope you're not harboring the fugitive."
To him, losing a fugitive was obviously more serious than Wang Tao's disappearance without a trace.
Wang Tao died in the line of duty, so the court had to deal with the aftermath, but without the fugitives, he had to give a credible explanation.
Li Laosan almost fell to his knees and swore to heaven, "Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to shelter this fugitive!"
The man didn't say much and walked out.
Li Laosan had sweat on his forehead and tears in the corners of his eyes. He wiped them away and hurried to catch up.
When Shen Qingqian and others saw Li Laosan coming out, they hurried over.
Jin Daya had already formed the team just now. They looked quite orderly now, except that the men were all wearing shackles, which looked a bit sad.
After a while, Shen Qingqian heard the person in front talking.
"My last name is Lu, and I'm the chief criminal officer in charge of receiving and managing you. If you have any problems in the future, come and find me, Old Lu." After saying this, he glanced at everyone and continued, "I heard that one of you, Liu Jingxing, was kidnapped by the Jun people. Is this true?"
Liu Jingxing is Liu Junchen's elder brother.
Upon hearing this, the Liu family members were the first to burst into tears.
"My Lord, it is absolutely true!"
The others also nodded, confirming that this was indeed the case.
Old Lu nodded, neither believing nor disbelieving. He simply said, "I don't like beating around the bush. You're serving your sentences here anyway, and you can't escape. Later, each of you will put your fingerprints on the letter explaining this matter, and the higher-ups will handle it."
The implication is that if they commit fraud collectively, then all of them will be implicated once the truth is revealed.
Generally speaking, if something is false, at this time someone will come forward to expose it for fear of being exposed.
But this was something Shen Qingqian and the others had experienced personally, so naturally no one felt guilty and they all acted as if they were following instructions.
When Old Lu saw this situation, he believed what Li Laosan had said just now. He called a few people to help and led Shen Qingqian and the others to make arrangements.
Li Laosan asked, "Master Lu, is there something serious going on?"
Just now, Old Lu said that their general had submitted an urgent report, but I don’t know what it was about.
Old Lu frowned upon hearing this, "What else could it be? Someone in the Jiayu tribe is restless."
"Ah, aren't the Jiayu tribe and our Dajin tribe on good terms? Why are they still here?" Li Laosan asked in surprise.
The Jiayu people were the most powerful ethnic group outside the Great Wall of Hubei Province. A hundred years ago, they entered the Great Wall from Hubei Province and captured thirteen cities of the Jin Dynasty. If it were not for the fact that a god of war emerged from the lineage of King Zhao at that time and drove the Jiayu people out of the Jin Dynasty with unparalleled force, the consequences would have been disastrous.
However, twenty years ago, the Jiayu tribe asked the Great Jin for a noble daughter. For some unknown reason, the late emperor married the eighteen-year-old Princess Chengyu to them. Since then, the two tribes have been on good terms and have lived in peace and stability.
Old Lu snorted, "They are not from the Jiayu royal court, but they are coming with great force. The general was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he sent an urgent report to the court, but he didn't expect..."
He didn't say the rest, but Li Laosan knew it well.
Who could have thought that the Jin Dynasty would have a change of power at this time?
"So what are our plans now?" Li Laosan couldn't help but worry about the people in the exile team.
