Chapter 1602: An Iron Cavalry
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew that Fan Jianxi must have reported everything to Shi Yuan. However, it had only been ten days, and Fan Jianxi was not sure who had taken the things in the secret chamber. He should have observed any signs for a few days before making a decision. If Shi Yuan had not just learned about the things he had reported, or if the memorial or letter was still on the way, Shi Yuan would not have known.
Qiu Pusheng had something on the current Prime Minister. Besides, the Prime Minister himself was involved in the heavy taxes in Lizhou. Usually, the Prime Minister would help to sort out the memorials. If the Prime Minister saw it, he would probably help Qiu Pusheng suppress it. It was unlikely that Shi Yuan would know about this.
This meant that Fan Jianxi must have sent a letter.
The letter must have been addressed to Butler Fan of Prince Che’s manor. Wasn’t Butler Fan Jianxi’s uncle? From the things he took out from the secret chamber, it could be seen that this uncle doted on Fan Jianxi very much. Fan Jianxi would probably write a letter to Butler Fan directly, asking him to report to Prince Che, and then Prince Che would report to Shi Yuan. This was the safest way to keep the people he loved safe.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.
Unknowingly, they had also arrived at the entrance of the black market.
The people from the black market were all smart. They didn’t ask anything when they saw them coming. They just looked behind them and asked them why they were there when they saw no one else tailing the two people.
In this black market, money spoke the loudest, and it was easy to get things done. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not stay in the black market for long before they got two identity documents stamped with the official seal.
Since this document was fake, then the names and addresses on it were naturally fake. None of them were real. It was only because they were stamped with a real official seal that they looked real.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan continued to go to the capital after they left the black market.
When they left Lizhou, there was a checkpoint. The people guarding the checkpoint only briefly looked at their identity documents and carefully sized up their clothes. They probably felt that they were not poor people who had gone to the capital to complain, so they allowed them to continue.
Because of Jiang Yue’s pregnancy, Xue Yan not only drove the carriage slowly but also stopped the carriage every night at the closest inn so that Jiang Yue could have a good rest.
If they could find an inn, they would naturally rest in the inn at night. If they couldn’t find it, they could only rest in the wild. Fortunately, there were many things in the space to provide comfort. They could take them out. It didn’t matter even if they rested in the wild.
In the next five days, they didn’t encounter anything special. On the sixth day, they encountered groups of people galloping past, apparently heading toward Lizhou.
The leader of these troops was a general, and behind him were soldiers in armor. All of them did not stop to take a rest.
Seeing that the soldiers were always on their way and were moving in a disciplined manner, it was obvious that they were a force of cavalry. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew without a doubt that Shi Yuan had found out about the people in Lizhou and had sent people to deal with them.
There were so many officials involved that ordinary officers and soldiers would not be able to deal with them. Only military officers with a tough style would be able to deal with them.
However, because Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t know enough about the soldiers who had rushed to Lizhou, they didn’t want to take out the things in the secret chamber for these people in case some of Qiu Pusheng’s men or other high-ranking officials were mixed in.
It was safest to hand the things in the secret chamber to Shi Yuan.
Through the letters in the secret chamber, they knew that Shi Che and Shi Yuan were true brothers. They were dedicated to the people and would never tolerate evil. The people were their bottom line. Moreover, Shi Che was not involved in any of the crimes. They could even hand it over to Shi Che. Even if they were strangers, Shi Che would help them hand it over as evidence.
