A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan
Chapter 497 Learning the Reason
Yuanfu sent someone to inquire what had happened outside, and the person who went out to inquire returned a quarter of an hour later.
He said, "Eunuch Yuan, there is a soldier outside from Jinqiao Town in Qingzhou. He said that a major incident has occurred in Jinqiao Town, and even the patrolling garrison commander, Captain Chen, cannot resolve it."
"He came on the orders of Commandant Chen, intending to go to Lin'an City to ask the Emperor for instructions on what to do?"
Jiang Hao asked, "Is that person still there? Did he say what it was about? Even Captain Chen couldn't handle it."
"The Duke said that person is still here. He needs to rest and recuperate here before he can continue his journey."
After thinking for a moment, Eunuch Yuanfu said, "Then let him come over in a bit, and we'll ask him what exactly happened."
"Yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, a man dressed as a soldier arrived and bowed to Eunuch Yuanfu and Jiang Hao.
"Greetings, Eunuch Yuanfu and Duke Anguo. I, Song Wei, am here on the orders of Commandant Chen to seek imperial instructions in Lin'an. I wonder what Eunuch Yuanfu and Duke Anguo wish to know?"
Jiang Hao asked, "Do we know what exactly happened?"
The soldier clasped his hands in salute and said, "When we came, Captain Chen didn't say we couldn't talk about it. Moreover, Captain Chen told me that if I met anyone on the way who could solve this problem, I could go and help resolve it."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yuanfu and Jiang Hao were both shocked. It seemed that this matter was quite serious!
Jiang Hao unconsciously became serious and said, "Then tell me what happened. I want to hear what it is that requires the Emperor to judge this case."
Grandpa Yuanfu nodded in agreement, though he didn't say anything, his expression conveyed the same meaning!
So Song Wei slowly explained what had happened.
"Here's what happened. Some time ago, near the border between Yunzhou and Qingzhou, bandits kept appearing and robbing passing merchants and travelers. The prefect of Qingzhou tried many methods but couldn't get rid of those bandits."
"So he asked the Emperor for his opinion. The Emperor originally wanted to send Liu Mohan, the general guarding Jingzhou, to help suppress the bandits. Before General Liu Mohan even went, the bandits found out about the situation."
"So the bandits tried every means to come to Jingzhou and actually captured General Liu Mohan's two children and brought them back to their stronghold. They actually wanted to use General Liu's two children as hostages to threaten him."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao and Eunuch Yuan Fu exchanged a quick glance. Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Wait, are you saying that the bandits knew about General Liu's plans before he even set out to suppress them, which is why they captured his two children?"
Song Wei cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, it is like this. Moreover, as long as the prefect of Qingzhou goes to suppress the bandits, those mountain bandits will hide in the mountains and not come out."
"But as soon as they left, the bandits would come out again and continue their evil deeds, so we couldn't do anything about them. Later, we had no choice but to report it to the imperial court!"
Duke Anguo remained silent, sensing that something was amiss. How could those bandits have learned of the news so quickly? Where did their information come from? Did they have an inside agent here?
It seems this matter needs to be investigated more thoroughly, so Jiang Hao said to Song Wei, "Continue!"
So Song Wei continued, "Later, General Liu's two children were rescued by a family surnamed Lin, which led to the story of how the eldest son of Liu went to pick up his younger siblings."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yuanfu anxiously asked, "Now that the person has been rescued, is there anything else that requires us to go to the Emperor? Did something else happen afterward?"
Song Wei nodded and said, "Yes, just two days after Young Master Liu picked up his younger brother and sister-in-law and the Lin family, they were ambushed by a group of men in black and almost lost their lives there."
Yuanfu and Jiang Hao were furious upon hearing this. How could someone dare to attempt to kill more than a dozen people in broad daylight? Jiang Hao angrily asked, "Have you found out who did it?"
Song Wei said, "It's not clear yet, but I heard that Young Master Liu and his group caught those men in black and are waiting to return to Phoenix Perch City for interrogation and further investigation!"
Song Wei continued, "The most terrifying thing is that after Young Master Liu and his group arrived in Jinqiao Town, something happened at the inn where they stayed that very night."
Both Eunuch Yuanfu and Jiang Hao asked at the same time, "What happened now?"
"Young Master Liu, on the very night they checked in, someone outside the inn actually tried to set the entire inn on fire to kill them and cover their tracks."
"But they were discovered by Young Master Liu and his men, so they started fighting with the group. Just as they were fighting fiercely, Captain Chen, who was patrolling over there, arrived with his men."
"Although we stopped their fight and captured the group, the problem was that the group were not ordinary people, so Captain Chen did not have the authority to manage the matter."
"Therefore, this matter can only be reported to the Emperor and let him make a decision."
