Chapter 298: Discussing Going to Beijing
However, he thought this possibility was unlikely. After all, Yue Mingzhu was injured and unconscious and was rescued back to the Lin family. If even Yue Mingzhu's injuries were fake, then it could only be said that Yue Baishan was too scheming to even use his own precious daughter.
"Third brother, will you blame me for acting on my own initiative and telling Lord Yue about your assassination and the matter of Zhang San and the others?" Shen Wanning was deflated and lay on the table.
Lin Jingyou rubbed her head. "How could that be? These people will be sent to Beijing sooner or later. We originally planned to wait until Dai Yongcheng's affair was exposed, and then add fuel to the fire with these two things. Now that Lord Yue has evidence in his hands, isn't it just right to add these two fires now? Besides, we don't have to send them in person, what a great thing."
Shen Wanning's eyes gradually lit up, "So, Third Brother also agrees with what I did?"
"Of course, Wan Ning did a great job this time. She just happened to help me solve the problem of several thieves. Otherwise, I might have to wait until I return to Beijing to report on my work before this matter can be resolved." Lin Jingyou said sincerely.
Shen Wanning's eyes sparkled as she smiled, "That's great! I'll take those thieves back to Fuzhou tomorrow. Do you want to go back to Fuzhou with me, Third Brother?"
Lin Jingyou shook his head. "I won't go. I've been quite busy these past few days, and I need to find the CMS department. I'll have Fang Huai bring two yamen runners to go back to Fuzhou with you."
"Well, Third Brother, you'll be busy now. Once these things are over, we won't have to worry about anyone coming to harm us anymore."
"Yes, maybe it is because he knows what happened between us and Dai Yongcheng that Lord Yue chose to do us a favor. This is a hundred benefits for the Yue family and has no harm. Even if we don't follow the Yue family in the future, we have to owe him this favor." Lin Jingyou said.
Shen Wanning curled her lips. "I knew he was a thousand-year-old fox. Even if none of us had happened, wouldn't he still have to report Dai Yongcheng's affairs here to the emperor? Anyway, it was only a matter of time before Dai Yongcheng was imprisoned, but he still dragged us along, as if he was doing us a big favor."
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. He has done us a great favor. We will find a way to repay them later. Or maybe in their hearts, we saved Yue Mingzhu's life, so they want to repay us for saving their lives!" Lin Jingyou pinched her puffy cheeks and said.
"It's not impossible. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time!" Shen Wanning waved her hand and said.
Thinking about these official affairs gave her a headache. They were all old foxes with a history of thousands of years, and she didn't know what tricks they were playing. But as long as it didn't infringe on her interests, she would forget it.
"By the way, Third Brother, if they set out from Fuzhou, I have to pick up Zhang San and the other three from Qinghe County and bring them to Fuzhou. How about you send someone to Qinghe County to send Zhang San and the others to Fuzhou? Otherwise, if I send someone there after returning to Fuzhou, I'm afraid it will be too late." Shen Wanning thought for a while and said.
"Well, okay. I'll have someone set off early tomorrow morning. After arriving in Qinghe County at noon, I'll have Zhang San and the others set off immediately. In this way, we should be able to reach Fuzhou before the city gates close the day after tomorrow." Lin Jingyou said.
After discussing the matter with Lin Jingyou, Shen Wanning and Fang Huai, along with two yamen runners, escorted the ten thieves to Fuzhou early the next morning.
Because there were more people this time, Shen Wanning took a carriage to Fuzhou. As for the other ten thieves, they were escorted to Fuzhou in a prison van.
Together they sent the eight thieves to the governor's mansion, and this time it was Yue Songyu who came out to receive them.
"My uncle is still handling a case in the county government office and hasn't come back yet. Please hand these thieves over to me, sir." Yue Songyu said in a serious tone without smiling.
"Thank you, Lord Yue. I'll trouble you to take care of these thieves. As for Zhang San and the other three soldiers, I will ask them to pack their things and wait for you at the county government office gate at noon tomorrow. Then, please take them to the capital." Shen Wanning said politely.
"As I should. My uncle has already told me. Don't worry, my lady. We will definitely send them to the capital safely. But please take good care of my sister. She is naughty but not a bad person by nature. Please be more tolerant." Yue Songyu said as he bowed to Shen Wanning.
"You're welcome, Lord Yue. Mingzhu is lively and cute. Our whole family likes her very much. We will definitely take good care of Mingzhu and will never let her suffer any grievances," said Shen Wanning.
"Your Excellency is too kind. We naturally trust your character, but we are just worried that Mingzhu will cause trouble for the Lin family." When Yue Songyu said this, he still had no expression on his face, as if he had facial paralysis.
"How could that be! Mingzhu is well-behaved and sensible, and she didn't cause us any trouble. On the contrary, her lively personality brought us a lot of joy." Shen Wanning said with a smile.
"That's good." Yue Songyu nodded.
"I'll leave these thieves to Lord Yue. I won't disturb Lord Yue from doing his work, so I'll take my leave first." Shen Wanning nodded slightly, turned around and got on the carriage.
After finishing these things in Fuzhou, Shen Wanning was finally able to return to the Shen Mansion to rest. The next step was to wait for Zhang San and the others to arrive at the county government office, and then explain the matter to them. The matter was considered completed.
As for what happened in the capital later, she couldn't care less.
The next day, I rested well at home all day and made up for the sleep I had missed in the past few days.
It was not until before dinner that the yamen runners brought Zhang San and his companions.
Zhang San looked at the house in front of him and was a little afraid to go in.
With trembling hands, he pointed at the mansion and asked, "Is this... is this really where the county lord lives?"
The yamen runners nodded and said, "This is the county lord's residence. Let's go knock on the door and deliver you to the county lord. Our mission will be accomplished."
Zhang San stretched out his hand tremblingly and knocked on the doorknob.
Beichen opened the door, glanced at them, and asked, "Who are you?"
The bailiff stepped forward and said, "We two brothers are bailiffs from Baocheng County. We have been ordered to escort three people to the Shen Mansion."
Beichen glanced at Zhang San and asked, "What are your names?"
The three of them replied at the same time, "My name is Zhang San/Li Si/Wang Wu."
Beichen smiled and said, "Come in quickly. The county lord has been waiting for you all day."
After a few people went in, Beichen took two yamen runners downstairs to have tea.
Zhang San and the others stood uncomfortably in the hall. Zhang San rubbed his hands and asked nervously, "County Master, are these two officials going to send us to the capital?"
Shen Wanning held out her hand. "The three of you sit down first. I'll talk to you slowly."
