The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1255 Clues
"Commander-in-chief, the Southern Sentinel Army has checked all the tunnels near the capital, and assisted the local police in cracking down on several human trafficking and grave-robbing gangs, but has not found any trace of the Crown Princess."

"Commander-in-Chief, no suspicious persons have entered or left any of the checkpoints or gates within a thousand miles of our Northern Sentinel Army. We only caught two guys selling smuggled salt at Pingzhou Wharf."

"Commander-in-chief, during the time our central army has been conducting exercises in Kyoto, even the rats in the streets have figured out who is right and who is wrong, but we can't find any suspicious people. Should we continue the exercise? The City Guard Battalion and the City Patrol have a lot of complaints about us!"

"Commander-in-Chief, the Dongying Army has thoroughly checked all the people who have worked at the official post station in the past six months. Here are all the records of the check. Our commander has specially marked the summary for you to review."

"Commander-in-chief, our Western Camp Army has discussed with the people of the Internal Guard and has arranged personnel to monitor all the targets you marked. So far, those clan members and ministers have not shown any abnormal behavior."

Sheng Yuan listened to the regular reports from the five military personnel stationed at the Governor's Office and wished he could go out and practice a few dozen more sets of boxing.

The fifth deputy governor Su Qian, who was in charge of liaison, looked at Sheng Yuan and whispered, "Governor, it is said that a wild goose leaves traces when it passes by... Even if the thief has the ability to escape underground, with the manpower deployed by our five armies and the search range, we must be able to harvest nothing! This, this, this... Could it be that he is still in Kyoto?"

Sheng Yuan was also confused. As soon as she received the secret letter from her sister, she immediately dispatched the five armies to conduct a search and investigation. Logically speaking, no matter how fast the robbers reacted, it was impossible for them to leave safely and clean up all traces so cleanly, as if nothing had happened.

"So, the previous tasks will remain normal, just as training. In addition, the West Camp Army will increase its efforts to monitor all the marked official and clan residences. If any unusual movement is found, and it can be confirmed that it belongs to the Crown Princess, rescue will be carried out on the spot. If it cannot be confirmed, split into two groups, one to track and investigate, and the other to report back. Remember, no matter who it is, as long as they pose a threat to the safety of the Crown Princess, they will be killed immediately! All consequences will be borne by me!"

"Yes!" After everyone looked at each other, they immediately responded in a loud voice.

After the stationed personnel left, Su Qian, who had been hesitant to speak, looked at Sheng Yuan in embarrassment and said, "Sir Governor, if your words were to get out, I'm afraid the Censorate would impeach you again!"

"Spread it out?! Haha, Governor Su, do you think that what I said in the Governor's Office...who would spread it out?" Sheng Yuan looked over with a smile.

Su Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'm very tight-lipped."

"I have no intention of questioning Governor Su's decision."

Sheng Yuan stopped smiling and looked at him: "I am the commander of the Five Armies. All foreign spies and enemy spies that appear in the capital are under the disposal of the Five Armies. It is also my duty to deal with the villains who threaten the safety of the capital of Great Chu... Even if the scope of tasks overlaps with other departments of authority, it is not an overstepping of authority!"

"Ah, your Excellency is absolutely right. I have been too cautious." Su Qian nodded hurriedly, fearing that this living ancestor would not be able to find any clues and would turn his attention to the Five Army Headquarters. It would be troublesome if he thought that they were collaborating with the enemy.

"Sister Yuan, my brother is moving out in the next two days. Do you want to ask for leave and go over to help?"
