Chapter 41: Wanted felon

This street confrontation ended with Wu Da and three others taking Lao Wu into the county government office.

At the same time, just as Jiang Chen had expected, these three men with straight knives at their waists came from the Daqian military camp, and reporting their job titles could scare the county magistrate out of his sleep.

How often had such a high-ranking military figure visited such a remote town?

The small county government office suddenly entered an unprecedented state of tension, and half an hour later, the government officials began to post portraits of wanted criminals everywhere in the city. The person in the painting was none other than Han, who had met Jiang Chen that day. Yuyang.

The article attached to the portrait said that Han Yuyang assassinated the commander-in-chief of the army, causing the army to fall into civil strife at the station. When the enemy army learned of the news, they took this as an opportunity to march in, and the army collapsed without a fight. Within three days, the army collapsed. Seven cities were lost in a row, and there were countless casualties.

All in all, the culprit for everything mentioned above is Han Yuyang.

If everything is true, then Han Yuyang is afraid of being executed by Ling Chi hundreds of times, but it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in the hearts of the people.

Assassinating generals and provoking civil strife, every inch of the lost land is soaked in the blood of the soldiers. There is no room for change in this kind of thing. It is not an exaggeration to say "everyone can kill him".

But then again, is the news brought by Wu Da and others necessarily accurate?

Is this true?

Jiang Chen now prefers the latter. Although he does not have any evidence to prove Han Yuyang's innocence, at this time he is more willing to make the most preliminary judgment based on intuition.

Moreover, he knew that Old Wu thought the same way.

"What should we do now? We can't just wait like this. Who knows what those bastards will do to my father?"

Wu Qingshan kept walking back and forth in front of the county government office. Thinking of his father in jail, he couldn't calm down at all.

Jiang Chen said: "Don't worry, the more times this happens, the more calm you have to be."

"But Jiang Chen, those bastards have knives in their hands, how can I remain calm?"

Wu Qingshan's emotions are getting more and more agitated, which shows that his inner uneasiness is also increasing, but Jiang Chen cannot let himself be affected by this emotion. Now he is the only one who can find a way to help Old Wu.

"Are you going to go directly to the county government office now?"

Jiang Chen glared at Wu Qingshan. In the eyes of his brother-in-law, he still had enough prestige to prevent this kid from doing anything irrational.

After a while, Tang Yong came out of the county office and brought Jiang Chen the latest news.

"The military man named Wu Da is the Huangmen Colonel of the town's border army, and the two accompanying him are the Sili Colonel. They have a lot of background. They said that Lao Wu is suspected of harboring a wanted criminal, and he will be punished soon. Woolen cloth!"

"What! That's okay. My father is almost seventy years old. How can his body and bones withstand the torture? What's more, what they said about harboring wanted criminals, my father has never done anything!"

Wu Qingshan was so anxious that he jumped up and down, while Tang Yong also expressed deep sympathy.

We have lived together in this small town for so many years. In the past, Lao Wu gave everyone the impression of being a law-abiding person. He has always been an honest man in running the butcher shop, and he never cares about small amounts of money.

For such a person, isn't it a joke to say that he is harboring wanted criminals?

But people with high official status would do whatever they said. Even the county magistrate didn't dare to say anything in front of them. Tang Yong could only express his deep regret.

"Qingshan, Jiang Chen, I think the key to this matter is whether the wanted criminal has been to Shangguan Town. As long as these three military masters can be convinced that our place has nothing to do with the wanted criminal, they should let him go.

People."

Even so, Jiang Chen knew that things were not what Tang Yong thought.

Because Han Yuyang really came here and was indeed taken in by Lao Wu for a short time. These are all indisputable facts.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen asked Tang Yong, "Is there any way you can take me in to meet Old Wu?"

Tang Yong replied: "The county magistrate is about to host a banquet in honor of the three military masters. Maybe I can take this opportunity to bring you in. However, my ability is limited and I can only bring you one person. I have to go back quickly."

"

Jiang Chen nodded and agreed.

Tang Yong then took Jiang Chen to the county government dungeon. After a few words of explanation, he turned around and went out to wait outside.

"I saw it all that day, in the thatched shed..."

Jiang Chen went straight to the point after meeting Lao Wu, because he knew very well that now was not the time to hide things, both he and Lao Wu had to be honest with each other, so that it would be possible to think of a way to break the situation.

"So that's the case, but I don't know how those three bastards got here."

There was a calm smile on Lao Wu's face, as if what happened to him at this time was not important at all.

Jiang Chen asked in confusion: "What is your relationship with Han Yuyang? Why do you risk your life for him?"

"It would be better if you didn't know about this matter. There is no need for you to get involved and ruin Yue'er's happiness in life just because of my old man's obsession."

When he mentioned his daughter, there was a hint of reluctance in Lao Wu's eyes, but this emotion only flashed past, as if to him, this emotion was an expression of weakness, and he had to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Erase.

"That day, I gave Han Yuyang fifty taels of silver, and he said he wanted to go to Longjiang via Ziyang. In fact, I have been involved a long time ago. It would be better for you to tell me the truth."

"If we really want to investigate, I am the accomplice who helped the wanted criminal escape."

Old Wu looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise. His previous image of a weak scholar had been completely torn away, and replaced by a brave and resourceful young man.

"Tell me, why should you help him?" Old Wu's eyes were bright. The answer to this question was very important to him.

Jiang Chen replied: "Because he once saved me from a bandit's sword. No matter whether he did those deviant things or not, I only believe what I saw with my own eyes and will not believe in official news.

"

Having said this, a more relaxed and happy smile appeared on Old Wu's face, and Jiang Chen's answer made him sigh in relief.

Immediately afterwards, he began to answer Jiang Chen's first question, "Although you grew up in this remote town, you should probably have heard of the name of the Qishan Cavalry, right?"

Jiang Chen said sternly: "At the beginning of the founding of Daqian, it was relying on the Qishan cavalry to gallop freely and invincibly. They used their powerful combat power to overwhelm all parties, and finally established the peaceful and prosperous age of Daqian that lasted for nearly a hundred years."

"It can be said that the Qishan Iron Cavalry is a symbol of Daqian's military strength and the pride of all Daqian people."
