Chapter 275 Insider
Fang Youming stood up. He remembered that the situation was now very clear. You Huai would not be wrong, which meant that this person was the magistrate of Yumen County.
He took his younger brother and knelt down to pay his respects.
"The criminal Fang Youming pays homage to the magistrate."
Fang Youhuai then knelt on the ground and said, "I, the sinner Fang, pay my respects to the magistrate."
Liu Huaian suddenly realized that this was the Fang family who had been exiled to Yumen before, and Fang Chengzhe, the sixth master of the Fang family, had once been his boss.
"So it's you guys? Get up quickly."
"How come you are here?"
Fang Youming lowered his head and told in a few words what had happened today.
"Sir, we should not stay here for long."
Liu Huaian nodded, this was not the place to talk.
"You Huai, go and help Lord Liu, and I'll carry Sixth Uncle on my back."
Fang Youhuai stepped forward and helped Liu Huaian up, and Youming went to pull Fang Chengzhe out.
"Fang, what happened to your sixth uncle?"
Liu Huaian looked at the unconscious Fang Chengzhe and asked Fang Youhuai beside him.
"Sixth Uncle was stung by a drought scorpion. Although his little finger was severed in time, there was still a little bit of poison in it. He is now in a coma."
The drought scorpions here are extremely poisonous. There is no medicine or water to clean them up. The only way to prevent the spread of the poison is to cut off your fingers.
If they waste this time, they won't have much time left.
I didn't meet anyone on the way back, which is both good news and bad news.
They didn't see any of the fugitives who had been separated from them.
Maybe they had already escaped back in advance.
Fang Youming and Fang Youhuai did not dare to gamble. If someone took advantage of the chaos to escape, they would be dead even if they returned.
Fang Youming carried his sixth uncle on his back, feeling heavy-hearted, and he didn't care about Youhuai who was being framed over there.
At this moment, he hoped that those who had not returned were dead, so that those who were still in the city would not be implicated.
Liu Huaian had recovered a little by now, and was supporting each other with some strength, and occasionally saying a few words to Fang Youhuai.
He was wearing a faceplate that belonged to Fang Youhuai, who had also covered it with cloth, leaving a pair of eyes visible.
From Fang Youhuai's mouth, he learned the details of the whole incident.
"Sir, if some people are not found after we return, can you, can you..."
“Yes, Huai!”
Sixth Uncle is in a coma, and Fang Youming is the only one who takes care of Youhuai.
"Sir, I have behaved badly. Please forgive me for once."
Liu Huaian understood the brothers' concerns, "Don't worry, this incident is special, I will report it truthfully, and I will also remember your kindness."
He had heard a little about the Fang family's affairs before, but there was no conclusion regarding the missing 200,000 silver coins and the granary.
There was no evidence, so the whole family was exiled.
"Your case is still with the Ministry of Justice. If there are any hidden reasons behind the original incident, it will be overturned sooner or later. You should behave well here and strive to make up for your mistakes."
This was because of the care Xie Fang Chengzhe showed him when he first entered Shaozhan's Mansion.
Just think of it as a good relationship.
Fang Youming paused, emotions surging in his eyes.
"Thank you, sir."
Fang Youhuai was a little excited. He was still young, and his emotions were all shown on his face.
God blessed me along the way and I returned to Yumen safely.
The broken place was guarded by the garrison commander and his soldiers.
Liu Huaian walked in front and went in first.
As soon as he entered, he was kicked to the ground by the garrison commander He Jian.
"Who told you to run?! Huh? Damn it, I told you to run!"
Fang Youhuai was also hit on the back by a soldier with a stick. He fell to the ground and curled up skillfully, holding his head.
Liu Huaian fell to the ground, holding his butt and crying out "ouch".
Fang Youming behind him also did not escape and was pinned to the ground as soon as he came in.
The garrison commander cursed.
Fang Youming took advantage of the torch and saw five people being trapped not far away. They should have returned earlier than them.
Liu Huaian was wearing a face mask and it was dark at night, so He Jian didn't notice anything different about him for a moment.
Liu Huaian stood up, turned around and pointed at Zhang Jian.
"Want to rebel?"
He Jian looked at the man and swung the whip in his hand.
Liu Huaian took off his face mask and let him take a good look at who he was.
He Jian felt that the voice was familiar, so he took the torch from the person next to him and went closer to take a look.
He was so frightened by the sight that he almost dropped the torch in his hand.
Isn't this the county magistrate he's been scolding all day?!
He also said that such a big event happened in Yumen, but the county magistrate was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that he had run away to Xiyi.
No, Xiyi?!
"Master Liu, Master Liu, is that you?"
Zhang Jian remembered that he seemed to have kicked the county magistrate just now.
"No, Master Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Huaian covered his aching buttocks and threw his face armor to the ground.
"Guess how I got there? The Western barbarians kidnapped your county magistrate. Didn't any of you notice anything was wrong?"
Zhang Jian was a little flustered. "Master Liu, it was Master Mao who said you were invited out and you wouldn't be back until tomorrow. We had no idea you were kidnapped."
Liu Huaian looked up suddenly. Lord Mao was his county magistrate.
There's a mole!
By the time Zhang Jian and his men arrived at County Magistrate Mao's residence, the place was already empty and there was no sign of anyone.
Before the New Year was over, the Emperor of Chu received a secret letter from Yumen.
There are two letters, one of which was sent back by Liu Huaian.
It not only records what happened in the past few days, but also the most important thing is that he discovered a secret.
In Yumen, he found grain bags from the granary that had been stolen from Nanyang, as well as some traces of the Western Yi people.
The bags in each granary are marked. How could the grain bags from Nanyang appear in Yumen? Since this is related to Nanyang, Liu Huaian just wants to pass the news back as soon as possible.
County Magistrate Mao had already determined that he was a traitor, so he must have noticed something was wrong and wanted to get rid of him. So he contacted the Western Barbarians, abducted him, and destroyed the evidence.
As for why he didn't just kill him directly, Liu Huaian never figured it out.
The Emperor of Chu threw Liu Huaian's secret letter into the fire and picked up another one, which was stamped with the unique seal of the Huangwu Guard.
I opened the letter and saw only two simple sentences on it.
"They have entered the Western Barbarians, and there are traitors in the court."
The Emperor of Chu slowly clenched the letter and tore it up bit by bit. The burning flames were reflected in his eyes.
Who is the traitor?
Unexpectedly, the Western Yi had already extended their hand to the court. The King of Chu thought about everyone and wondered who this person could be.
The Emperor of Chu could no longer sit still when he thought that someone was secretly watching him.
After a new year, the court officials discovered that His Majesty's temper had become worse again.
Although they were accustomed to His Majesty's moodiness, they were still frightened by His Majesty's sinister gaze every day during court.
The court officials were upset, but the princes were even more upset.
My father pointed at my nose and scolded me in front of all the court officials all day long, and I lost all my dignity.
The second prince and the fourth prince took turns being scolded, and no one could laugh at anyone else.
