Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 275 Returning to Beijing (4)

The five thousand elite soldiers looked at each other as they left suddenly. After a while, the commander-in-chief of the elite soldiers said, "Master Wu suddenly has something urgent to deal with. Let's stay safe and set up camp here, and wait for Master Wu to give us the next step."

"Yes!" The elite soldiers replied in unison.

However, these five thousand elite soldiers did not know, because they paid too much attention to the departure of Wu Danqing and Lu Boqi, and none of them noticed a black shadow that was quickly going away not far away.

The black shadow stayed away from the team, and after several confirmations that he was not being followed, he jumped into the wall of another courtyard.

As soon as he entered the fence, a group of people immediately surrounded him, "How about it, have you found any news?"

Hei Ying knelt down and replied, "Wu Danqing led five thousand elite soldiers to the suburbs!"

"Lord County Sheriff, what should we do now? That bastard Duan Hong must have handed over the account book to Wu Danqing!" One person said anxiously after hearing the words, and then a group of people chatted like a hot pot.

"Master County Sheriff, why don't we send someone to kill Wu Danqing?"

"He has [-] elite soldiers, how could we kill him! Lord Sheriff, why don't we use part of the disaster funds to bribe Wu Danqing?"

"That kid looks like something that can't be eaten, Mr. Sheriff, you should think of a way, we can't just sit and wait for death!"

"..."

The county magistrate of Yunjun sat at the top and frowned in thought, before asking after a long while, "Did you hear when they would enter the city?"

Kneeling on the ground, the man in black bowed to the sheriff, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, five thousand elite soldiers are now camping outside the city, and they have no intention of entering the city!"

"Do you know why?"

Heiying thought for a while, and then said, "From the mouth patterns of Wu Danqing and Lu Boqi, I can see that it seems to be about Princess Pingning, and what about the fifth princess. Anyway, I went back to Yujing."

Hearing what he said, an official with a huge belly and a swollen face lifted up his sleeve to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and sighed, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Seeing this, the magistrate of Yunjun snorted coldly and said, "Don't think that you will be safe in this way. When they go back to Yujing, they must have taken the account book away. If the account book is handed over to the emperor, none of us can escape!"

"The sheriff, what should we do?" A timid and thin official immediately asked with a bitter face.

The county magistrate of Yunjun stood up, pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and ordered to the people kneeling on the ground, "Immediately hurry up and reach Yujing before them, and tell Gao Taifu and the Minister of Rites about the account book Both of their names are also on the account, and they will definitely not stand by this time!"

"Yes, this subordinate takes orders." The man in black got the order and was about to leave, but the county sheriff of Yun stopped him again, "Convey what you heard from Wu and Lu to Taifu Gao, maybe It will help him."

Taifu Gao spent his whole life in the imperial court and handled things rigorously. He might not be able to find out something that could restrain Wu Danqing from these things.

Once there is something that can restrain Wu Danqing, maybe there is no need to worry that Wu Danqing will continue to report them!

After the man kneeling on the ground left, everyone dispersed.

When the Sheriff of Yun County returned to the Sheriff's Mansion, he made another preparation. He immediately ordered his wife to pack up all the valuables, so that he could escape at any time.

Sure enough, the man arrived at Yujing before Wu and Lu, and conveyed all the information he had received and the words of the sheriff to Gao Taifu. Gao Taifu thought for a while, and immediately ordered his spies to investigate the matter carefully. .
