Chapter 222 Going to the Village to Find Someone
Chen Wu got up from the ground and finally made up his mind at this moment. He decided to tell everything he knew.
Jiang Shoujiang is a good officer. Madam Yun is also very good. If Brother Dao knew that his sister-in-law and nephew were rescued, he would definitely agree with what he did.
"Mr. Jiang, if you want to find the most crucial evidence of the grain bill, I'm afraid you have to go to Lion Ridge. There, you will definitely find what you want."
"Are the bandits from Lion Ridge? Is this incident related to them? Tell me the details you know."
"Yes, I saw Wu Cheng, the dog palace, appear in the mountain stronghold of Shiziling before. The leader of that mountain stronghold, Scarface, was controlled by someone. And the ones who controlled him were the second in command of the mountain stronghold. To be honest, the ones who were rescued were Brother Dao's wife and his son. They used this as a threat to make Brother Dao do what they ordered. And the evidence in the rocky hill was also ordered by Brother Dao."
"So that's how it is. Are you willing to contact Scarface? I want to meet him."
"I will go up the mountain tonight. Just wait for my good news." Chen Wu agreed and went down to make preparations immediately.
Jiang Chuan asked Fu Yi to go with him and report back as soon as possible if anything happened.
Fu Yi immediately turned around and followed Chen Wu.
The two men rode their horses towards Lion Mountain. More than 20 miles away from the mountain village, they came to the woods where Chen Wu hid his carriage last time, which was also a good place to hide people.
The two stopped here and prepared to wait until dark before going into the mountains.
The sun didn't give them long to wait before it disappeared over the other side of the mountain. Night soon fell.
The two of them ate a simple meal, some steamed buns bought on the roadside, and drank a few sips of water. They made themselves full, left the horses in the woods, and started to move.
Under the leadership of Chen Wu, the two men perfectly avoided the visible and hidden sentries in the mountain village.
Reached the back of Scarface’s yard.
But this time it seemed a little unusual. Scarface's yard was completely dark, and there were many more patrolling bandits.
Something must have happened?
Chen Wu was a little anxious. He tried to break in several times but didn't find a chance. He was almost discovered.
Fu Yi saw this and was worried that Chen Wu might alert the enemy, so he simply let him hide.
He came to the other side of the village, set a fire in a place that looked like a kitchen, and then quickly retreated to where Chen Wu was hiding.
Soon, there was a blazing fire on the other side of the village. A panicked cry of "The fire is coming."
The bandits quickly ran over there, and a small number of the people guarding the yard also ran over.
Taking this opportunity, Fu Yi and Chen Wu quickly rushed in and hid on the beams of the eaves.
After the patrolling bandits passed by, the two men landed at the door of the room.
There was a sound of breathing in the room, someone was inside. Fu Yi squeezed lightly, and the lock on the door fell off.
The two of them quickly went into the room. In the dim moonlight, they could see a person on the bed.
"Who?" the man on the boat asked in a low voice.
"Brother Dao, it's me. What's wrong with you? Why are there so many people outside your yard?"
"Chen Wu, why did you come back? They have locked me up. Leave quickly, otherwise they will find you."
"Stop talking nonsense and let's leave here first!" Fu Yi reminded them.
"I can't leave. If I leave, they will target your sister-in-law and nephew." Scarface answered bitterly.
"Brother Dao, my sister-in-law and nephew have been rescued and are waiting for you to reunite with them. This is General Jiang's bodyguard, Brother Fu Yi. He can testify. Let's go. No one can threaten you now." Chen Wu quickly told Scarface the news.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Scarface was overjoyed and immediately jumped off the bed.
"I testify that your wife and children are now in the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion in the capital. Once the food and grass are secured, you can go pick them up at any time."
Fu Yi and Chen Wu's words finally made Scarface feel relieved.
I also understand why those people suddenly locked him up. It turns out that they no longer have anyone to suppress him and can no longer threaten him.
