Chapter 89: Secret Arrest
Seeing this, Lord Jiang hurriedly took the token in Gu Wanchao's hand, and after just a glance, he recognized that it was Gu Traitor's thing.
He raised his eyes to look at Gu Wanchao and Xiao Yu'an in her arms, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring the two into the mansion.
Xiao Yu'an has now had a high fever caused by an infection in the wound, and Lord Jiang called the doctor in the house to check on his injuries.
And Gu Wanchao went to the study with Master Jiang to discuss matters.
"The prime minister asked you to come to me this time, why did you come to me?" Lord Jiang asked about Gu Wanchao's intentions.
"Lord Jiang doesn't know, this time we went to Jiangling to secretly investigate the smuggling salt dealers, and now we have found seven or eight points, and my grandfather asked me to come to the adults to borrow troops to arrest them."
Although Gu Traitor said that Lord Jiang was a good person, Gu Wanchao still carefully paid attention to the change in Lord Jiang's expression.
After all, this Jiangling City belongs to Jingzhou, and today's Jinzhou is simply a miasma, this Jiang Daren has no reason not to know the abnormalities in Jiangling City, but he chose to turn a blind eye, Gu Wanchao inevitably suspected that Jiang Daren was also involved.
"I also have some understanding of the situation in Jiangling City, most of them are rampant mountain bandits in chaos, I also ordered Wucheng to go to suppress the bandits, but this Wucheng is a straw bag, not only did not exterminate the mountain bandits, but also let the family put a place, recently, there are many affairs in Jingzhou City, I really can't take the time to deal with the affairs of Jiangling City, so he ordered someone to guard Jiangling City with heavy troops, I never expected that there are illegal salt dealers involved."
After listening to Gu Wanchao's words, Lord Jiang showed an incredible look on his face, the reaction was not like pretending, Gu Wanchao's doubts about Lord Jiang were dispelled a lot.
"It turns out that the heavily guarded Jiangling City was instructed by the adults, and we were still puzzled at the beginning, how could this Wucheng ignore the mountain bandits, how could they send someone to guard Jiangling City with heavy troops, and Lord Jiang, you don't know, when we inquired in the city, we found that Wucheng had not suppressed bandits at all, and what was put on a piece was simply prevaricating you."
"It's a good Wu Cheng, and he's actually turning around the officials." After Lord Jiang learned that Wu Cheng had not sent anyone to suppress the bandits at all, he was furious for a while.
"After your friend's injury recovers, this official will send someone to go with you to Jiangling City to wipe out those smuggler salt dealers, and this official will still have things to deal with in Jingzhou City, and then he will arrive."
Now Lord Jiang can't wait to put Jiangling City in order.
Hearing this, Gu Wanchao nodded.
Xiao Yu'an was in a coma for a whole day before waking up, the high fever had subsided, but the wound infection still needed to be recuperated, Gu Wanchao sat on the edge of his bed and took care of it, and at night, she really couldn't hold it, so she fell asleep by the window.
Xiao Yu'an looked at Gu Wanchao's little head beside the bed, he really felt very cute, and raised his hand with a smile on his face to touch it, but it was this action of raising his hand that woke up Gu Wanchao.
Gu Wanchao raised his head, and when he saw Xiao Yu'an, who had woken up, he was overjoyed, and threw the handkerchief in his hand back into the basin on the side.
"Are you awake? Would you like to grab a bite to eat? You've been in a coma all day, and you're scared to death. ”
"I can't eat, why are you asleep here, it's cold on the ground, let's go back to my room." I'm fine. ”
Listening to Gu Wanchao's chatter, Xiao Yu'an couldn't help but smile, he looked at Gu Wanchao who was sitting on the ground, and asked her to go back to the room to rest with concern.
"If it weren't for the fact that you were injured because you protected me, I didn't bother to suffer this sin, are you sure you don't want to eat some? You haven't eaten rice all day. ”
Gu Wanchao stood up stiffly, originally concerned about Xiao Yu'an's injury, but let her tell her like this.
"Not really, let's go back and rest." Xiao Yu'an shook his head again, urging Gu Wanchao to go back to the room to rest.
Hearing this, Gu Wanchao didn't continue to ask, only told him to call someone in time if there was anything, and after the governor sent someone to guard him after he finished speaking, Gu Wanchao returned to the room to rest.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yu'an was already able to get out of bed, and after using the ginseng soup that Master Jiang had sent him, his spirit was much better.
"Master Jiang, now that we have been out for more than six days, the ten-day appointment between the prime minister and the salt seller is almost here, we can't afford to delay, let's set off early, my body is clear to me, there is no problem."
Originally, Lord Jiang considered Xiao Yu'an's body and wanted to wait for him to raise for two days before setting off, but Xiao Yu'an thought that the ten-day appointment was coming soon, and he really didn't have time to recuperate in the governor's mansion.
Gu Wanchao naturally knew that Xiao Yu'an's current body couldn't withstand the toss, but they had to rush back as soon as possible, so they didn't persuade Xiao Yu'an to stay and recuperate.
"That's fine." Jiang Dawei sighed after weighing up, people are important, family and country affairs are more important, he still chose family and country affairs after all.
"Come, count 1,000 officers and soldiers, and take the governor's order of this official to go to Gangneung City with the two of them to arrest the salt sellers."
Master Jiang handed over his governor's order to his attendant, and then the attendant went with the governor's order to count the officers and soldiers.
The group went to Jiangling City in a mighty way, and when they came, they were delayed for a while because they were too slow to take into account Xiao Yu'an's injury, and now they were in a hurry to go back to arrest the salt sellers, and their feet were faster.
On the way, the two of them took the officers and soldiers to meet the guards sent by Gu traitors to deliver a letter to them, and after reading the content of the letter, the two of them hurried along the way, hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at Jiangling City in only three days.
However, the army did not enter Gangneung City, but camped in a secret place outside Gangneung City, waiting for the fish to enter the net and collect it.
The ten-day appointment with Zhou Li also ushered in the last day, Zhou Li made an appointment with Gu traitor at the dock, and when Gu traitor went to the dock, Zhou Li had already sent the salt to the dock to wait.
Gu Traitor inspected the salt, and after making sure that the salt bags had official seals on them, he got up and started a transaction with Zhou Li.
It's just that what Zhou Zhouli didn't expect was that at this time, Gu Wanchao was quietly going to their private house where the salt was stored with officers and soldiers, and Lord Jiang's attendants brought people to arrest Gu and Zhou Li, who were trading.
They were divided into three routes, and Li Yin and Xiao Yu'an went to the salt production point of another group of smugglers.
Overnight, the entire Gangneung City of Salt Traffickers was uprooted.
And Wu Cheng already knew when the officers and soldiers entered Jiangling City, at this time he was afraid that the fire would burn on him, so he hurriedly packed his things and prepared to escape with his family overnight, but was stopped by Jiang's people in front of the prefect's yamen.
"Lord Wu, where are you going in such a hurry?"
