Chapter 340: Not Even Dare
Yu Linlang went downstairs and saw the station manager tied up and thrown aside, with his mouth blocked and still whimpering.
The commander of the Dragon and Tiger Camp this time was originally from the Imperial Guard, Jinwu Guard, and his name was Han He.
Ever since the Dragon and Tiger Camp had sent out troops without permission, the emperor had replaced all the generals above the rank of colonel.
Han He was also temporarily transferred to the Dragon and Tiger Battalion to take charge of the Third Regiment. With a team of 100 people and a regiment of 10 teams, the Third Regiment only brought in half of the people.
It seems that the emperor was quite confident and felt that there wouldn't be much trouble in Jinzhou Prefecture, which was under his feet.
"Master Yuhu." Han He stepped forward to report, "There were a total of seventeen people guarding outside the post station. Twelve of them were captured on the spot. Two were strangled to death, and the other three escaped."
Yu Linlang hummed, glanced at the post station manager who was jumping on the ground like a carp, raised her chin, and said, "Listen to what he says."
Han He ordered his men to drag the steward to Yu Linlang and kicked him before ripping the cloth out of his mouth.
"My lord, please spare my life, my lord!"
"If you just want to scream for mercy, I will have someone seal your mouth again right now." Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows with a smile.
The steward wept bitterly and kowtowed repeatedly, "Sir, I am innocent, really innocent! I am just a small steward of the post station, I have no idea what happened. After Lord Lu was assassinated, it was I who crawled to invite the doctor..."
"That's not a reason." Yu Linlang narrowed her eyes at the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced steward and sneered, "The people from the government office have surrounded your post station and sent people upstairs and downstairs to watch over Lord Lu. How dare you say you didn't know?"
"I'm not guarding you, sir." The steward tried to argue, "Prefect Pei sent people to protect you, sir, just because he was worried that the villain would try to assassinate you again."
"Protection? Just find a Mongolian doctor to bandage Lord Lu's wound, which is almost inflamed and oozing pus. There's not even a cup of hot tea upstairs or downstairs. Is this what you call protection?" Yu Linlang picked up a teapot at hand and smashed it on the man's head, causing him to scream and bleed.
"You have a wolfish ambition!" Yu Linlang pointed at him and yelled, "If I hadn't come, even if Lord Lu's life could be saved, his hand would be crippled!"
How can you be an official if you are useless? You should be your sister’s official!
Yu Linlang picked up whatever was nearby, tea trays, tea cups, wooden ornaments, and smashed whatever she saw, hitting the steward on the head.
"How dare you! You killed someone at the post station. Do you think you can cover up the crime with one hand?"
The young steward covered his head and cried out, "My lord, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
"It has nothing to do with anything. You are just a bunch of cunning villains. I think you just want to rebel!" The Sixth Prince walked down the stairs angrily, looking around with angry eyes.
"Come here, bring the prefect of Jinzhou here. This prince wants to see what extraordinary abilities he has. Does he want to kill even this prince to silence him?"
The young steward was so frightened that he peed his pants and collapsed to the ground.
Han He bowed and immediately called hundreds of soldiers from the Dragon and Tiger Camp, and strode out the door.
However, just as I reached the door, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer.
All the men in the Dragon and Tiger Camp drew their swords and stood ready for battle. Soldiers on both sides squatted in a row, with bows drawn and arrows held, standing guard in front with shields in hand.
Han He also drew his sword and waved his hand with a cold face, "Sixth Prince, please step back."
The Sixth Prince was startled and retreated step by step while being protected by many people. He was very angry, "How dare you, a bold bandit, to assassinate me in broad daylight?" Pei Yongjie, the prefect of Jinzhou, came hurriedly on horseback with hundreds of officials and guards of Jinzhou Prefecture. Seeing the tense situation, he was so scared that he quickly rolled off his horse.
He didn't even have time to straighten his official hat before he tumbled and crawled towards the door, shouting in grief and anger, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, your humble servant Pei Yongjie greets the Sixth Prince!"
The Sixth Prince was so angry that he had nowhere to vent. When he saw Pei Yongjie, he was furious. "Well done, Pei Yongjie, you are personally bringing people to encircle and suppress this prince? Very well, very well!"
Pei Yongjie was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Sixth Prince, please allow me to report this. Even if I have a hundred guts, I would not dare to do anything disrespectful to you! Sixth Prince, please do not listen to the slander of the villain and misunderstand my sincere heart!"
"You still have a clear conscience, but I think you are just blinded by greed!" Yu Linlang's face was full of sarcasm, and she started to mock, "Who are you accusing of slandering? Are you talking about me???"
Han He: ...
Sixth Prince:......
Pei Yongjie hurriedly bowed his hands and apologized, "Master Yuhu, please forgive me, I did not mean that."
"Lord Pei is quite good at dealing with people. It seems that he has done his homework before coming here." Yu Linlang said sarcastically.
One can recognize who she is at a glance, which shows that he has already done a thorough investigation and knows who are on this trip.
Pei Yongjie showed a false smile, "When I learned that His Royal Highness the Prince and the Crown Prince were coming, I hurried over to greet you. I dare not neglect you."
"Master Pei is quite clever." Mu Zhao chuckled and walked out slowly, "You knew we would look for you, so you took the initiative to come to us."
Pei Yongjie bowed repeatedly and said he dared not, with a humble attitude, as if he did not dare to look up at the Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince.
The Sixth Prince lowered his mouth and looked serious, "Pei Yongjie, do you admit to the assassination of Lord Lu?"
Pei Yongjie suddenly raised his head, revealing an old face that was pale and extremely angry. "Why do you say that, Sixth Prince? How could the assassination of Lord Lu have anything to do with me?"
"Sixth Prince, Crown Prince, please don't misunderstand me. The reason why I sent people to surround the post station is to prevent the villains from committing crimes again and putting Lu Shaoqing in danger."
"You said nice things, but I don't know where you found such a quack doctor. He almost killed Lu Shaoqing." Yu Linlang sneered.
Pei Yongjie quickly waved his hands to deny, "Master Yuhu is wrong. Crown Prince, Sixth Prince, when I learned that Master Lu was stabbed, I ordered Li Tongzhi to invite the best doctor in the city to bandage and treat him. Everyone in the government office knows this!"
The tall and thin man who was named timidly stepped forward and bowed, stammering to explain, "Your humble servant Li Bao greets the Sixth Prince, the Crown Prince, and Lord Yuhu. Your humble servant respectfully follows the order of the prefect and invites the best old doctor in the city for Lord Lu."
Li Tongzhi lowered his head. "Perhaps it was because of my limited medical skills that I was unable to bring Lord Lu back from the brink of death in time. I really don't know how to explain this."
Yu Linlang glanced at him and laughed, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Mr. Tongzhi. Lu Shaoqing is alive and well. He will be able to jump out of bed in two days."
Li Tongzhi suddenly looked up and met Yu Linlang's dark eyes, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Mu Zhao smiled and raised the memorial in his hand, "Prefect Pei, I wonder if you are aware of what Lord Lu said in the memorial, about exchanging old grain for new grain and buying and selling new grain to raise money?"
Pei Yongjie's pupils shrank slightly. (End of this chapter)
