Chapter 1772: Good News from Meng Yunzheng
By this time, the emotions of the people had settled. Holding the belongings of their respective family members, they turned to Shu Yu and expressed their gratitude.
Shu Yu advised them to take care of their health and assured them that if they needed any assistance, they could seek help at the county office.
One by one, the people nodded and left the abandoned mansion.
Watching them, heads bowed in sorrow, Shu Yu sighed. When she raised her head again, the snowflakes had grown even larger.
With so much snow falling, Shu Yu wondered how Meng Yunzheng and Qi Lie's plan was progressing.
Just as she was thinking about this, Xia Yan rushed in, his hair covered in snow. After entering the corridor, he shook off the snow and excitedly said, "Second Miss, there's a letter from Young Master. It's good news."
Xia Yan had been helping out at the city gates these days, so he was the first to hear any news from outside.
Shu Yu hadn't expected that just as she was thinking about Meng Yun Zheng, she would receive news from him.
She quickly took the letter from Xia Yan's hand and eagerly opened it.
The contents of the letter were brief, just a few lines, but they made Shu Yu let out a long breath.
Ying Xi asked, "Miss, how is Young Master Meng's situation?"
Shu Yu's lips curled into a smile that she couldn't contain. "Everything is going smoothly. Yun Zheng and Qi Lie have already taken control of Changjin Prefecture."
"So quickly?" It had only been three days.
Shu Yu laughed. "In fact, ever since we realized that something was amiss with Changjin Prefecture and reported it to the capital, the Emperor dispatched people to secretly investigate. Infiltrating the Prefecture was much easier than infiltrating the black market. So, they did have some assistance. Moreover, General Huang hasn't engaged the black market rebels in a full-scale conflict yet, only sporadic skirmishes. His forces are ample, so he could afford to send some people to help them."
Therefore, although their time was short, the initial preparations had been quite extensive.
They even knew which individuals could be bribed and which loyalists posed a threat and needed to be dealt with first.
Compared to Chenggu County, planning in the city was easier.
"Did Young Master mention when he'll be returning?" Xia Yan asked.
Shu Yu shook her head. "Although the plan went smoothly, the Prefect Magistrate of Changjin Prefecture resisted stubbornly after realizing that he was exposed. He was forced to jump into the water to escape, but he drowned. No survivors were left, which complicated the aftermath in the Prefecture. Moreover, manpower will only be slightly less than what we had in Chenggu County. Yun Zheng and Lord Qi are afraid they won't be able to return temporarily."
The weather at this time was cold. Wearing thick clothes, once a person fell into the water, the soaked clothing would make them heavy, causing them to sink. By the time the Prefect Magistrate was fished out of the water, he had already lost his life.
Still, as long as the matter was resolved, it was fine.
Shu Yu put the letter away and instructed Ying Xi and Xia Yan, "Let's go. Back to the Escort Bureau, and share this good news with Uncle Meng and the others."
Despite the ongoing snowfall outside, Shu Yu didn't mind. She dashed into the snow with eagerness, striding towards the Meng Family's Escort Bureau.
Halfway there, she coincidentally ran into Meng Pei driving a horse-drawn carriage.
She hurried a few steps forward. "Uncle Meng, where are you headed?"
"I'm going to Mi Family Clinic. Seeing how heavy the snow is, it probably won't stop for a while. I was planning to bring your little uncle back home. Doctor Mi said he's ready to go home for recuperation."
Shu Yu smacked her forehead. She had forgotten about this.
"Uncle Meng, I'll go with you."
