The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 156: Return of the Secret Guard

Jiang Bu returned to Liwei Tower and went to Jiang Xing's room as usual, and told him what Yan Rong's father shouted.

"What's going on?" Jiang Xing frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Jiang Xing slowly spoke: "I didn't expect that there is a big shot behind the Yan family, but I don't know who it is? It seems that only Yan Yan knows this person."

"What should we do then?" Jiang Bu asked worriedly.

Jiang Xing shook his head slightly and said, "Let's ignore this issue for now. We have already caught a serious case, and the truth will naturally come out. The most important thing now is to find the Yan family's warehouse and find out how much money they have embezzled."

Jiang Bu nodded, thinking of the evidence he had given to Lord Wei before, and said, "But... there are no specific numbers in the evidence we found."

Jiang Xing frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Then we can only hand over these evidences first and let Lord Wei investigate the matter thoroughly. As for that big shot, if he really exists, he won't be able to hide it for long."

"Well, I hope the truth can be found out as soon as possible." Jiang Bu echoed.

Jiang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer. Once the trial is over, we can return to Beijing."

"What?" Jiang Bu looked at Jiang Xing in surprise. "Brother, your injury hasn't healed yet. How can you return to Beijing so soon? The journey is long. What if the injury relapses?"

Jiang Xing smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's okay, just walk slowly on the road, and nothing will happen. Besides, we can't waste any more time, we have to go back as soon as possible."

"Why?" Jiang Bu asked puzzledly.

Jiang Xing was silent for a moment, then said, "Today I received a message from the secret guards. Chujiu and Shisan have already sent messages back. They will arrive in a few days! We will have no choice but to leave by then!"

When Jiang Bu heard this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, "Could there be a change in the capital?"

Jiang Xing nodded and said solemnly: "I'm afraid so, otherwise Chujiu and Shisan wouldn't be in such a hurry to come back. So, we must set off as soon as possible to avoid delaying important matters."

Jiang Bu took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I understand. Then let's get ready to set off immediately."

Jiang Xing nodded slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "I hope everything goes well and nothing happens again."

A few days later, news came from Lord Wei that the trial of Yan was going very smoothly. Surprisingly, Yan did not resist at all, but cooperated very well and confessed everything. Lord Wei was very surprised by this situation, and after he finished the interrogation, he immediately came to Jiang Xing with the confession.

Jiang Xing asked Lord Wei who was the mastermind behind the words "That noble man!" that Yan Rong's father shouted in the cell, but Lord Wei said helplessly that although Yan Rong's father was as tight-lipped as a clam, he knew that there was such a person, but he just couldn't find out his identity. In the end, he still couldn't find out the person behind it, which made Lord Wei very angry.

Jiang Xing had expected such a result, so he was not surprised at all. Lord Wei was a little surprised to see that Jiang Xing had no reaction after hearing it. However, he did not ask any more questions, because he knew that the youngest Dali Temple Minister in front of him was famous in the court and his strength should not be underestimated.

Jiang Xing was silent for a moment, then said, "Write a memorial to the emperor." His tone was calm and firm, as if everything was expected. In fact, he had originally intended to report this matter when he returned to Beijing this time, after all, he used the gold medal bestowed by the emperor. But now that he has arrived in Huizhou, the affairs here will naturally be handled by Lord Wei.

After Lord Wei said goodbye and left, Chujiu and Shisan arrived in Huizhou.

Two figures appeared at the end of the street, staggering, their clothes tattered, covered with dust and blood, their faces haggard, their eyes tired. They looked extremely embarrassed, but there was a determined light in their eyes.

The two of them had gotten in touch a few days ago, and through the secret guards' unique communication channel, they learned that Jiang Xing was in Huizhou. So they simply went to Huizhou together, but the journey was a bit difficult.

"Knock knock knock..." A knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

Jiang Xing frowned, a trace of doubt in his heart. Who would come to see him at this time?

"Enter"

Then Chujiu and Shisan pushed the door open and walked in. They both bowed to Jiang Xing.

"I've met my lord."

"No need to formalities, you are finally back. How do you look now? Did you encounter anything on the road?" Jiang Xing asked the two embarrassed people.

The two looked at each other, both feeling ashamed and unwilling to answer. Finally, Thirteen spoke with a little embarrassment: "Your Excellency, we did encounter a lot of trouble along the way."

Jiang Xing frowned and motioned for Shisan to continue.

"I sneaked into the palace and pretended to be an old craftsman tending flowers and plants, hoping to get the news, but it took some time. Chujiu was being chased and accidentally fell off a cliff, and it took him some time to find a way out!" Thirteen briefly summarized their experiences in the past few days, but Jiang Xing knew in his heart that they must have suffered a lot. If the situation was not critical, with their abilities and experience, they would never have delayed until now.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go downstairs and wash up and rest first!" Jiang Xing looked at the two of them with concern and told Jiang Bu to take them to the guest room and prepare hot water and food. After they left, Jiang Xing sighed softly and his eyes fell on the two brown paper packages in his hands.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to put the package on the table and wait for a more appropriate time to open it. Because he knew that these things must be very important, and the truth in them might shake the entire court. But no matter what, he had to face it.
