Chapter 538 Waiting for the Letter

Continued from above
"My lord!"

"Foreign affairs have been assigned."

"The team doctor just examined the thief's body and found a number of highly toxic pills at the collar."

"Besides, the ingredients of these poison pills are special, so they may not be simple."

"In my opinion, when Yue Xiu comes back, let him investigate this pill, and who knows what he might find out!"

Qin Jing strode in from the courtyard, bowed and clasped his fists, and replied, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Xiao nodded.

"OK!"

"It's late at night, tell everyone to clean up the mess, and those who haven't been assigned a duty can go back to sleep."

"Oh, right, Qin Jing, Chang Ting, the two of you, please close the door."

"Tonight, I will not move from my bed. I will just sleep in this room with my old horse."

Xiao Jian suppressed his emotions and gave the order after speaking.

But when you go and take a look, you will see that the old horse standing next to you has a surprised look on his face.

"kindness?!"

"Hi!"

"I'm fine, once, twice, but not three times."

"Besides, there are more guards outside."

"Brother, there's no need to mobilize so many troops for me, huh?! Hahahaha"

"You should go back to the main house, so go back now."

"Besides, your arm is injured."

"My old Ma doesn't sleep well at night and snores very loudly."

"I'm really worried that you won't care."

Ma Weimin thinks he knows a lot and talks nonsense, but he is just trying to be polite when he says these things.

But unexpectedly, Xiao insisted on such arrangement.

"Oh, okay, that's it."

"Can't you keep your fucking voice down when you sleep?"

"Anyway, I can't go back to that room. If you, Old Ma, think it's too crowded, you can go outside and stand guard as the first shift!" Xiao Yu was stunned and spoke resolutely.

Looking at this situation, Qin Jing and Chang Ting, who were standing beside them, were also confused.

"Uh"

"General, what do you mean?!"

"Could it be that there is a thief hiding in the main room?!"

"Just wait, Qin Jing and I will catch it right away!"

He just did what he said and stood there in a daze, unable to figure out what was going on. He rashly guessed that there might be danger, and impatiently walked out the door.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Jingchuan was speechless.

He hurriedly stopped Chang Ting.

"Hey! Stop right there, kid!"

"What's the connection?"

"You're just going to do it knowing the situation?!"

"There, inside."

At the same time as the rebuke, it is difficult to understand the reason without preparation.

Xiao Zuo paused while speaking, then raised his eyes and looked around, only to see three men in the room, all of them staring at him in blank stares.

Unable to do so, he let out a stifled sigh.

"Hi!"

"Mei Gongheng stuffed a woman into my room!"

"I couldn't drive it away for a moment."

"Let her be, and don't get involved with her."

Xiao Yan was very serious, but the speaker was unintentional while the listener was intentional.

At this moment, the other three people in the room looked stunned for a moment, and then the expressions on their faces changed completely.

All kinds of speculations and fantasies began to get out of control.

There is a lot of excitement to talk about.
The night is late, and the conversation has stopped.
No more trouble tonight.

The next day, at dawn, Ma Weimin started to act early in the morning and ran to Mei Gongheng to discuss the matter of withdrawing food and fodder.

Xiao Jingchuan and his team had finished all matters in the afternoon and were able to evacuate the prefectural government office.

By chance, when I arrived at the yamen, I suddenly saw the commander-in-chief outside the yamen, Zheng Huai'en, leading a team who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Xiao and Zheng exchanged a few polite words in front of the yamen, but it wasn't much. Then Xiao led the team to the post house in the city.

After that, it was the evening of the 22nd, and I had some free time. During these two days, Yue Xiu had been running back and forth many times, and was very busy.

However, I have achieved a lot, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

As for the general news, there are two main things to be said.

Firstly, he was still the one who passed on confidential military intelligence from the north to Zhizhong.

The letter said that Yuan Ping had made great contributions in suppressing bandits in Pingdu and Laizhou areas of Shandong in the northern border.

The team he led was actually formed independently, with a large number of underworld people mixed in, and all were managed by Yuan Ping.

Later, he expanded the recruitment to more than a thousand men and formed a team of elite cavalry.

It is true that he is an eccentric person, but when it comes to fighting, he is also very decisive.

Their tactics are unique, they come and go like the wind, and their generals are all brave and valiant.

This news was delivered personally by Qi Gang and Ma Minglu to express their congratulations on their great achievement.

When Xiao Lang read the letter, he was also very happy and satisfied, and his heart was comforted.

As for these two items, they are the investigation into the attacks in recent days.

After that, Yue Xiu sent a message back to Ti Shuai to add more personnel to investigate and pursue the case. Over the past two days, the work has been stepped up.

The assassins have been identified as being under the orders of Lin Zhiwan, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue and a key figure in the Southern Party.

Zhizhong in Nanjing also attached great importance to this and sent more people to secretly monitor Lin Zhiwan's progress.

And they took the initiative to attack and began to create other troubles for him in a subtle way.

It will keep him busy for a while and cause more trouble.

On the evening of the 22nd, at the beginning of the Xu hour (around 7 p.m.).

Xiao Sui organized his troops and had been waiting at the post house in the city for a long time.

Within two days, Ma Weimin came more often to report on the specific progress.

However, as the two-day deadline was drawing to a close, Old Ma had not yet completely completed the grain transfer issue.

In this regard, not only Xiao Lang was impatient, but also Qin Jing, Chang Ting and others in the team were also frequently irritated.
"Hey, I say, General!"

"Is this old horse capable of anything?"

"It's been two days, why is there still no definite result?!"

"If you ask me, we should figure out a solution as soon as possible!"

"He's just a big shot, boasting and bragging. He's not a serious person. I just despise him."

"To get things done, we must be careful and disciplined."

"Look at how he is, fussy and hesitant."

After having dinner with the soldiers at the inn, Xiao Jingchuan went back to his room to wait for news.

But the general in the hall was impatient and didn't discuss the matter, so he knocked on the door again and went to his own general's room to mutter to himself.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan was also helpless and not in a good mood.
"roll roll roll!"

"Stop talking nonsense to me, it's annoying!"

"you can?!"

"Then I'll take his place and ask you to come up?!" Xiao impatiently changed the subject.

"Hmm? This..."

"Oh, what's the big deal? I'll go ahead if I want to."

"General, please tell him to come back. I will bring our own garrison and seal off his treasury and granary!"

The long court was stunned and said nothing.

Xiao became even angrier and kicked him again on the back, sending him two steps away.

"This is for you fucking."

"Do you think this is a job in our army?!"

"You said to seal it up, so what?"

"Do you have the approval document? Do you have the imperial edict?!"

"Do you know what Lao Ma has been doing these past two days?!"

"When dealing with the imperial court, what matters is compliance with the law."

"If you can't make up the order, you can look at this grain, but you can't touch it!"

"If you handle it privately, you will be attacked from behind!"

"I am entrusted with the imperial mission, but in the end, the little emperor and the palace have to watch the memorials being submitted one after another. It's still a mess who to believe and who not to believe!"

"If you are not careful, a good thing can go wrong in a moment!"

"Definitely!"

"Don't talk nonsense to me!"

"Wait a minute!"

"Shut up and wait for the news, do you understand?!"
