After reading the contents of the letter, the man stood up from the couch in shock, his face as dark as ink. If this matter is really as written in the letter, it is really treasonous!
Just brutally killing so many people and devouring their flesh and blood was enough for the Lu family to drink. Now they are using such vicious methods to extend their lives! What does the Lu family want to do? Even his imperial brother dare not do this, but he actually dares to do this,
Is this an attempt to rebel?
Today's emperors cannot guarantee that they can live forever, but the Lu family actually uses such vicious methods to extend their lives. Isn't this a precise step into the royal minefield?
Even if the head of the Lu family was sick and feared death and wanted to live a few more years, for Prince Qing, who had experienced royal intrigues since childhood, his first reaction was that the Lu family wanted to usurp the throne! Although his brother was the emperor, the courtiers
They also often call them "Long Live", but who can guarantee that they can live long live? And isn't the Lu family's approach tantamount to treason?
His Highness Prince Qing's expression turned extremely grim and he said, "Go and invite Mr. Li over. I want to confirm the authenticity of this matter."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The leader of the guards retreated respectfully.
After a while, Magistrate Li in casual clothes came in a hurry. After waiting for the leader of the guards to report, Magistrate Li bowed and entered the room. Before Magistrate Li could salute, His Highness Prince Qing asked directly: "Master Li, please go first.
Let’s take a look at the letter to see if it’s true.”
County Magistrate Li was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face. He respectfully accepted the letter from His Highness Prince Qing and opened it carefully. After reading the content of the letter, he was already filled with turmoil. What was behind this case?
Horrible!
County Magistrate Li's hand holding the paper was trembling a little. He knew this case best. If it was not true, his subordinates would not send the letter. Magistrate Li did not care about etiquette and asked nervously: "Your Highness, I don't know.
Where did you get this letter?"
When His Highness Prince Qing saw Magistrate Li's expression, he understood that the matter was most likely true. He was not annoyed by Magistrate Li's tone and said solemnly: "This letter is from one of my subordinates.
The wild goose found on the wild goose probably was delivering a letter to Mr. Li. The wild goose may not have known the location of County Magistrate Li, so it accidentally flew into the courtyard where I was, and was seen by my men, who took the letter.
I gave it to the king. I cannot believe what is written in this letter, so I specially asked my men to invite Mr. Li to see if it is true."
King Qing's words reminded County Magistrate Li of the wild geese in the Yun family. When Zhang Patou came back from Yunjia Village, he specifically mentioned the two wild geese in the Yun family. He knew this, and he also knew that the Yun family had two wild geese.
There was a little girl in the family who followed the kidnapper. The information in this letter was probably discovered by the little girl who followed the kidnapper. County Magistrate Li had long believed what was written in the letter. After all, the case that happened on the Lantern Festival before, that Chen Xiao
The Lu family has been surrendered.
I just didn't expect that this case of missing children was actually related to the Lu family. County Magistrate Li didn't dare to delay. The letter said that they were going to kill people again tomorrow and there was a big shot in front of them. They had to take advantage of it quickly.
Before the Lu family could react, they arrested the person directly!
County Magistrate Li lifted up his robe, knelt in front of His Highness Prince Qing, raised his hands and clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this matter is true. There was a case of missing children on the Lantern Festival before. At that time, it was found out what was going on behind the scenes.
The person is the Lu family, but there is no physical evidence, only human testimony, and the grandson of a third-rank official is involved, so I had to report the matter to the prefect."
"Unexpectedly, half a month has passed since this case, and there have been many cases of missing children in the villages under the jurisdiction of the official. Moreover, this group of people specializes in abducting single children, and after abducting them, they clean up all traces
It was clean, with no traces and no witnesses, so I asked the official to investigate and found nothing. A case happened in Yunjia Village two days ago. There was a girl in the Yun family. She accidentally discovered that a little girl in the same village was abducted, so she followed the abductor.
Only then did I find the source. I didn’t expect it to be a bandit from Dahei Mountain in Xiahe County.”
"When His Highness came here two days ago, my officer Zhang and his men had already gone to Xiahe County to arrest those people. Who knew that this case was also related to the Lu family? I sincerely request His Highness King Qing to send someone
, rescue those innocent children who were kidnapped, otherwise."
Magistrate Li couldn't hide the pain in his tone, and he couldn't imagine the horrific things those people had experienced during their lifetimes.
After listening to Magistrate Li's words, King Qing was convinced that what Magistrate Li said was true. What's more, what Lu Hanlin did had violated the bottom line of the royal family. The anger in his heart could no longer be restrained. His fiefdom,
Such a frightening case has occurred, someone must be sent to arrest him!
"Someone is coming!"
"Your Highness, your subordinates are here."
"I remember that every county has a general who defends the city. You take my belt and order the general to deploy two hundred officers and soldiers, and follow me by boat to Xiahe County. I want to see what the Lu family is.
It’s not that you don’t take the national law and the imperial power into consideration and dare to do such a heinous and unethical thing, County Li ordered you to go with me.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Magistrate Li replied with excitement.
County Magistrate Li did not waste any time. He left His Highness Prince Qing's bedroom and came to the courtyard. He asked His Highness Prince Qing's men and found out that Yun Ying had not left yet. As if waiting for his reply, he hurried back to his study and checked in.
His Highness Prince Qing wrote down the news about leading troops to the Lu family, and ordered his men to tie the letter to Yun Ying's feet. Yun Ying obediently let people tie him up. Magistrate Li looked at the Yun family's wild geese in surprise, feeling sorry for the Yun family in his heart.
The little girl is getting more and more curious!
After tying up the letter, Yun Ying flew directly out of the county office and flew to Xiahe County. The leader of the bodyguard of His Highness Prince Qing had already found the garrison general. When the other party heard that it was Prince Qing, he dispatched him without saying a word.
Two hundred officers and soldiers followed the leader back to the county government office, and when His Highness King Qing was dressed neatly, he and Magistrate Li took the officers and soldiers on the boat to Xiahe County.
On the other side, Yun Ying took Magistrate Li's letter and quickly headed to Xiahe County. When he arrived at the courtyard in the west of Xiahe County, it was only half an hour, and it happened to be midnight (around 12 midnight)
, but Zhang Captou, who has been waiting for the letter, has not rested yet, and is waiting with Yunyi for Yun Ying's return.
When Yun Yi heard Yun Ying's rattling voice, he and Zhang Captou, who was fidgeting in the room, looked surprised at the same time and rushed out of the room. Yun Ying also saw his little master's father and swooped down to Yun Yi's raised arm.
On the way up, Yunyi took the letter off Yun Ying's feet and handed it to Zhang Captou beside him without looking at it.
Zhang Captou quickly took it, and after reading the contents, he happily exclaimed: "Okay, okay, great! I didn't expect such a coincidence! Now those children will be saved!"
Yun Yi saw that Capt. Zhang was so happy and asked curiously: "Capt. Zhang, what is it that makes you so happy?"
"Haha, Brother Yun, we are so lucky. Did you know that His Highness Prince Qing is actually in our county office? And now His Highness Prince Qing also knows what the Lu family has done and is heading to Xiahe with my family.
On the county ship, His Royal Highness King Qing even asked the generals stationed in Shanghe County to mobilize 200 garrison troops to come together. This time the Lu family can’t even think of escaping!”
"So, that's great! I didn't expect that the news you sent to the county magistrate would be known to His Highness Prince Qing by some strange combination of circumstances. His Highness Prince Qing was just timely!"
The next chapter will be posted later. It’s the last day at the end of the month, dear friends. Please vote for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
