Chapter 100 Human Wheel Battle
When they arrived, the old lady had just finished reading a scripture.
Seeing them coming, he lit three incense sticks and walked out of the small Buddhist hall.
Liu Yu immediately stepped forward and told the old lady the news he had heard at Juweilou.
After hearing this, the old lady's face changed drastically, but she had experienced too many ups and downs after all, so she quickly calmed down and instructed Aunt Feng:
"Go and call the eldest, second, fourth and other masters to Shou'an Hall."
"Yes." Nanny Feng walked out quickly.
The old lady said to Liu Yu and the others:
"You have done a great job on this matter. Leave the rest to me. Don't think about anything else. Go back and rest first!"
"Do those people want to check it out? I heard from them that the intention to assassinate the Third Master was the intention of the teacher of the man who spoke. His teacher wrote a letter to the emperor some time ago to retire and return home as a trap."
If you want Mr. Chen San to be absolutely safe, you have to solve the problem fundamentally, Liu Yu still reminded him.
The old lady touched Liu Yu's head appreciatively: "I will remember it."
She narrowed her eyes, and a firm look flashed in her eyes: "I have lived my whole life, and no one has been able to harm my son from my hands. They will not have the chance to do so again."
From the old lady's eyes, she saw a mother's determination to protect her child, and she also felt the icy coldness and ruthlessness.
Liu Yu felt relieved.
Mr. Chen Sanye has a lot of people around him, and with the people sent by Feng Mo and the old lady, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with this assassination.
She bowed to the old lady, left Shou'an Hall, and returned to Qinyuanju.
With the help of the old lady, she also asked Feng Mo to go to Lingnan in advance. Liu Yu forced himself not to think about it anymore and began to prepare for the opening of Yuzhentang in ten days.
……
Lingnan.
Master Chen San was listening to the report from his servant with his brows tightly furrowed.
"Are you sure the Cliff Valley collapsed?"
Before setting off, Liu Yu's repeated reminders came to my mind again.
He deliberately avoided the day she mentioned, but it still fell apart. It happened to be this day that he deliberately spread the rumor that he would pass that road on his way back to the capital.
It is impossible for him to believe it is a coincidence now.
Was this directed at the Xunjiang River Dam incident, or at him personally? Or perhaps both?
"Yes, it was your Excellency who foresaw the situation and decided not to continue on the journey." The bailiff said with fear.
At first he didn't understand why the Lord insisted on resting in this post station for another night. Now he knew that the Lord had anticipated that something would happen in the Cliff Valley!
Just imagine that if they continued on their journey, none of them, not even their bodies, would be left.
Master Chen San said in a deep voice: "The collapse of the Cliff Valley was not something I had anticipated in advance."
He was also wondering at this time, how did Liu Yu predict this in advance?
Before the cliff valley collapsed, he thought Liu Yu was just too worried about him. Now it seems that it was not the case. She really knew it in advance and reminded him.
But how did she know? Was it really a dream like she said?
Mr. Chen San has too many questions, but he can only know the answers by returning to the capital.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Master Chen raised his hand and rubbed his brows. After thinking for a while, he gave an order: "Go wake everyone up."
No matter what they came for, the people behind it definitely didn't want them to return to the capital.
There is a high possibility that the road ahead will be dangerous, so the journey back to Beijing must be rearranged.
The bailiff immediately retreated.
Soon all the officials brought by Mr. Chen San from the capital arrived.
"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. I'm sure everyone has heard about the road collapse in the Cliff Valley. In order to ensure everyone's safety, I decided to split the troops into three groups."
"My Lord, do you suspect that someone is plotting against us on purpose?"
One of the tall and thin officials asked.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Mr. Chen San looked down at the dozen officials who had followed him from the capital to Lingnan and said:
"Don't forget, we are not the only ones. Those people dared to attack in Lingnan. There is no one on the uninhabited mountain road from Lingnan to Yizhou. There is no guarantee that those people don't have any ideas."
Just half a month ago, after Master Chen San successively dismissed several officials in Lingnan, including the local prefect, judge, and warehouse officer, for crimes such as embezzling riverbed construction funds, bribing superiors, intentional homicide, and seizing Langtian, someone intercepted him in prison overnight.
In order to ensure that the corrupt official would not make any mistakes and smoothly follow the royal family's wishes, they were all escorted back to the capital by them personally.
After hearing what Master Chen San said, the officials below all wondered whether the destruction of the Cliff Valley was also done by these people.
Their expressions became solemn. Among them were officials from the second to the seventh rank. How dare these people do this?
This is exactly the effect that Mr. Chen San wanted. Although he did not think that these corrupt officials had such courage, he could not guarantee that there were no one in the capital who had such courage.
During this trip to Lingnan, he got an unexpected reward, which might be used to catch a big fish.
If anyone in the capital received the letter, they would definitely dare to bury these dozen officials in Lingnan.
Mr. Chen Sanye quickly explained the subsequent changes and arrangements. The group was divided into three teams and continued to head to the capital from different routes. The same went for the prisoners.
And he will take away the most critical prisoner, Prefect Lin, alone. He will only take Master Chen Wu, Feng Mo, and his two guards.
Before yesterday, everyone would have carried out the order but would have had objections in their hearts. However, after experiencing the experience of predicting the collapse of the cliff valley, everyone would unconditionally trust Master Chen San.
After the order was issued, everyone immediately left the house, returned to their residence, packed their bags, and took the people and prisoners who had been divided into teams, preparing to leave the post station overnight and embark on the designated route to the capital.
At this moment, the birds in the trees around the post station were suddenly startled, flapping their wings, and flew in all directions.
A large number of men in black armed with knives rushed out of the woods and surrounded the post station in an instant.
When he saw that Master Chen San and his men were fully armed, he was stunned for a moment, and then without saying a word, he rushed into the post station and killed them with a knife.
The two groups of people immediately collided with each other. The black-clothed men were of average strength. The guards brought by Master Chen San were his personal guards or guards disguised as the Imperial Guards. They did not gain any advantage. Master Chen San even had the upper hand.
But his expression was extremely solemn as he looked at the men in black who continued to rush out of the woods.
In a fight like this, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, their strength will run out. He could already predict that they would fail sooner or later.
He had to take everyone and the injured prisoners away before the situation got worse.
"Protect the prisoners and don't let them get close."
Master Chen San cursed inwardly and immediately gave orders. He thought these people were the same as those who broke into the prison last time, but the next scene made him doubt his judgment.
