Luo Junyao glanced at Xie Yan. She was still in Yannan half a month ago, and Xie Yan was still in Gaoyu and has not come back. Xie Yan did not get angry and said calmly: "Stop talking."
Kong Yu raised his head, glanced at Xie Yan cautiously, and whispered: "Half a month ago, in the middle of the night...a man in black suddenly appeared at Xiaguan's home. He said...in a few days, there will be some gangsters in the city.
It's up to the official to make things easier. If the official doesn't agree, then the official will be killed."
"What's the convenience?" Xie Yan asked.
Kong Yu shook his head in horror and said: "This...I don't know. The man only said that no matter what happened in the city recently, I just need to pretend that I don't know."
"So, there have been a lot of people in the city recently, and Mr. Kong turned a blind eye?"
Kong Yu bowed his head and bowed to the ground, "I'm going to the official position, I'm going to be the official position..."
Wanhu is not a big city, but there are so many outsiders suddenly appearing in the city who look like they are not ordinary people at first sight. How could Kong Yu, a local parent, not know about it?
Even if as a small county magistrate he is unable to deal with the expulsion of these people, he can still send someone to report it to the higher-level officials, and someone will naturally deal with it.
But along the way, except for the spies from the Prince Regent's Palace, no one reported this matter.
Either Kong Yu concealed it and refused to report it, or all the local officials worked together to conceal the truth.
In comparison, the former is obviously more likely.
"What else?" Xie Yan asked.
Kong Yu shook his head and said, "That man... also left ten gold tickets worth two hundred taels."
After saying this, Kong Yu finally let out a sigh of relief and fell to the ground exhausted.
The room was quiet for a long time before I heard Xie Yan say: "Go back."
Kong Yu opened his eyes wide in surprise, as if he thought he heard wrongly.
"Wang, your lord?"
Xie Yan glanced at him lightly and said, "Do what you should do and step back."
"Yes, thank you very much, Your Majesty! I'm going to excuse myself." Kong Yu kowtowed heavily before hurriedly retreating.
Looking at Kong Yu's fleeing figure, Xie Yan said solemnly: "Hiying."
"Your Majesty, Princess." Xiying appeared at the door and said with cupped hands.
Xie Yan raised his head and glanced at him. Needless to say, Xiying already understood, "Prince Qi and Princess Qi, people have entered Wanhu City one after another seven days ago, and most of them are people from the Jianghu. According to the information we have found,
Some of them got the news that someone offered a reward for rescuing a person from Wanhu City. The rest came to join in the fun because someone will hold an auction in Wanhu City in five days, including rare treasures."
"Auction? Luan Yisi?" Luo Junyao said.
This operation looks familiar.
Xiying said: "We still don't know who is behind the scenes. We only know that the location is Zuihong Mansion in the city."
"Who to save?" Xie Yan asked.
Xiying took out a scroll of paper from his sleeve and presented it. Luo Junyao took it and opened it, then turned his head to look at Xie Yan.
Xie Yan glanced at it, and there was no trace of surprise on his face.
"Is it the Cao family?" Luo Junyao asked.
Xie Yan shook his head and said: "No, unless the Cao family wants Cao Mian to die."
The person on that scroll is none other than Cao Mian, Marquis of Wen Ding.
"Who could that be? Luan Yisi?" Luo Junyao frowned, "But...why?" Even if the Cao family colluded with Luan Yisi, who is currently hiding in southern Xinjiang, Luan Yisi himself has been seriously injured.
.Luo Jinyan is in charge of Huaizhou, and there is Lingchuan Marquis in southern Xinjiang, so they still have time to come to Qingzhou to cause trouble?"
Xie Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Luo Jun shrugged, "That's right, just like we don't know why Cao Mian rebelled now."
I always felt that Cao Mian's reasons and attitude for rebelling were nonsense. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was because he felt embarrassed after being caught by her, so he pretended to look less embarrassed.
After all, he had been preparing diligently for more than ten years before, so it was impossible to say that he was not serious about it.
Xie Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said calmly: "Release Cao Mian's location."
Xiying glanced at Xie Yan in surprise, but did not question it, but just handed it over.
After Xiying retreated, Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan and said, "You haven't told me yet, why did you come to Wanhu City with such fanfare?"
They could obviously enter the city quietly without alerting anyone. As a former Secret Service agent, she was not used to acting in such a public way.
Xie Yan held her hand and chuckled: "We did a round of cleaning last year, but it was obviously not thorough enough. I want to see how many people still want to go against me."
Luo Junyao poked the back of his hand and said, "You can never kill all the flies."
Xie Yan smiled and said: "You don't have to kill them all, you just need to let them know where and what things will kill you, that's enough."
Xie Yan and his party entered the city with great fanfare, and Wu Yi and others on the other side naturally received the news.
In the quiet backyard of the inn, there was silence in the room after hearing the news.
After a while, someone couldn't help but whisper: "General, this...how did Xie Yan arrive in Bingzhou so quickly? Then Yanzhou..."
Xie Yanhui's appearance in Bingzhou only shows that the situation in Yanzhou no longer matters.
If Yanzhou is fine, what about Qingzhou?
Wu Yi remained silent, with a serious look on his face.
Seeing him like this, no one else dared to say anything.
After a long time, Wu Yi said in a deep voice: "Whether Xie Yan comes or not, our goal will not change."
After saying that, he glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Now that we are here, we will never give up until we rescue the Marquis. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but their eyes could not hide their heavyness.
Rescuing the Marquis from the Zhenguo Army is already a game of seizing food from the tiger's mouth, and now adding a regent...
"General." A figure quickly flashed in from outside the door.
Wu Yi looked at the person who came in, "What's going on?"
The visitor presented a piece of paper and said: "The purpose of those people in the world has been found out. Someone has offered a reward of one million taels for the Marquis."
Wu Yi took the scroll and looked at it, his expression changed instantly.
Everyone was puzzled, "General, isn't this one of our own?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Yi said coldly: "Who are you? I'm afraid some people are afraid that Wanhu City will not be in chaos! So many people suddenly poured in because they were afraid that the court would not know that someone wanted to rob the prison.
Huh?" Compared with their strength, they can't possibly compete with the Zhenguo Army. The only way they can compete is to take them by surprise.
"Then what should we do now?"
Wu Yi closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since Xie Yan is here, he will definitely not stand still. Let our people keep an eye on the Marquis and see how Xie Yan will make moves."
"If Xie Yan attacks Mr. Hou..."
Wu Yi said: "Xie Yan would have killed the Marquis long ago, why bother..."
"General?" Seeing Wu Yi suddenly stop, everyone looked at him.
Wu Yi's expression changed, but he quickly calmed down, lowering his eyes and said: "It's nothing, the identity of the Marquis is extraordinary. Xie Yan should still have the intention of recruiting Qingzhou, and will not attack him easily. Go and prepare.
, this place cannot be lived in anymore. Now that Xie Yan has arrived, there will be many spies from the secret camp under his command, so I am afraid that this place will be targeted soon."
"Yes, General." Everyone responded in unison.
"Go ahead."
Everyone left in unison, leaving Wu Yi alone in the room.
Only then did the question from before reappear in his mind.
Xie Yan didn't look like he wanted to recruit people, so...why didn't he kill the marquis to establish his authority at the beginning, or send someone to escort him back to the capital, but instead locked him up in a small place at the junction of Qingzhou and Bingzhou?
It's not like he hasn't thought about it, Xie Yan wants to lure you into a trap, but what's the point?
It is impossible for the real core figures of the Cao family to personally come out to rescue the Marquis. Even if they all die, it will not change the current situation of the Cao family.
