HCB Chapter 221 Hostages rescued.
Chapter 221 Hostages rescued.
Jiang Chuan, who was riding on his horse, had a raging fire in his chest. When he was about to be burned to death and wanted to go back, he immediately ran into the cell and chopped Wu Cheng, the bastard, to death with a knife.
How dare he do that? If I kill him with a knife, it would be too easy for him.
Jiang Chuan was furious, and his eyes were filled with the data he had just seen in the account book. So much food was just flowing out like this.
That is the foundation of a country!
Such people live in this world, wasting food when alive and wasting land when dead. They should be chopped up and used to feed dogs.
After riding for a while, the cool breeze on his face calmed Jiang Chuan down from his anger and he began to think about the problem.
Who put these evidences here? This person was able to confess to Chen Wu. And hiding these evidences here shows that this person did not want the grain to flow out. But he should not be able to stop it.
Who is the buyer? There is so much grain. Ordinary people can't eat it. Who is the ginseng in the middle?
It seems that there are still many things that I don’t know yet.
I have to check it carefully when I get back.
And there must be something wrong with this Chen Wu. He must know more things that have not been said yet.
Jiang Chuan said nothing and rode back home at full speed. Everyone followed him in silence. Even Jiang Qi didn't dare to approach him, fearing that she would provoke Jiang Chuan's anger.
Jiang Chuan was afraid that he would make a wrong decision under impulse, so he simply went back to his room and locked the door. He sat quietly beside the desk and began to think about these things without saying a word.
Jiang Qi was a little anxious when he saw Jiang Chuan like this. He just sneaked over to me and said, "Aunt Yun, go check on the young master! He has locked himself in his room and won't talk."
"What happened?" My body has improved a lot in recent days. I just came back from the martial arts training ground after seeing Xiaobao and his parents. In the yard, my butt hasn't even warmed up yet. Jiang Qi looked like the sky was about to fall. It scared me.
Jiang Qi was very eloquent and told me everything that happened after they left. Then he looked at me eagerly, waiting for me to make a decision.
Sunny and cheerful, generous and patriotic, Jiang Chuan is actually very likable.
"Come on, I'll go with you," the two maids sent by the old woman quickly helped me up.
Following Jiang Qi to Jiang Chuan's yard, I waved to them to stop, and knocked on Jiang Chuan's door; "Jiang Chuan, open the door, I'm Aunt Yun."
Soon, the door was opened, Jiang Chuan supported me and welcomed me in. He said in a reproachful tone, "Aunt Yun, why are you here? Be careful of your injuries. If you have any problems, ask Jiang Qi to come over and ask me to come over."
"It's okay. Walking around is good for your health. Did you get the evidence today? Wu Cheng and his son cannot be exposed for the time being. Send someone back to the capital. Tell Mr. Fu what happened here and ask him to find a way to pass it on to the emperor. Things are no longer something we can control."
I didn't hesitate and just said what was on my mind.
He helped me sit on the stool next to the table. Jiang Chuan then whispered to me, "Aunt, I have the same idea as you. Now, we can only let grandpa quietly tell the emperor about this matter. Then we will see whether the Dali Temple will take over or the emperor will send someone else to investigate."
Jiang Chuan spread out the paper on the table and began to write the letter. He also took the evidence with him. He packed it in a package and called Uncle Huo and Uncle Lang. He asked them to take the evidence and the secret guards. He sent the things back to the Fu Mansion in the capital as soon as possible. Then he released a carrier pigeon.
Carrier pigeons fly faster than humans, so the news can reach Beijing earlier than Uncle Huo and his men, so we can send people out to pick them up early.
A special carrier pigeon was just released when another one flew in.
This is a letter from the capital.
Jiang Chuan guessed that the answer to the question about the person he found out from his grandfather the last time he asked him for help.
I picked up a few grains of rice from the table to feed the pigeons. I let the pigeons land on my hand and pulled out the small piece of paper tied to the pigeons' legs.
The note read: "Prime Minister Dai's residence, the people have been rescued safely."
After reading the note, Jiang Chuan waved to Chen Wu who was waiting in the yard, "Come here, I'll give you something good."
Chen Wu was a little confused, but still walked over.
Jiang Chuan stuffed the note in his hand into Chen Wu's hand; "Is this the result you want?"
Chen Wu opened the note and happily held it in his arms. He knelt in the corridor outside the door and kowtowed three times to Jiang Chuan. "Sir, even if you want to take my life, I will never complain."
"Why do I want your life? It's a great deed for you to help me find evidence. I promised to save your people. Their people are still in the capital, and the Duke of the Guard can protect them. But if you want to take them away, you can go at any time, but no one can guarantee your safety at that time. I suggest you let them stay in the Duke of the Guard for the time being. When the time comes, you can go and take them back.
"Can I consider this matter first?" Cheng Wo asked Jiang Chuan with eager eyes.
"Okay, think about it carefully before making a decision, don't be in a hurry. In the future, you can tell me any clues and evidence you know about the grain bill." After saying that, Jiang Chuan reached out and helped Chen Wu up.
