Chapter 415 Separation
By the time the news was sent back to the Su family, it was almost dawn.
"Master, master, it's bad, all our food has been taken away!" The man stumbled back home crying and shouting.
The head of the Su family, who had been waiting at home for half the night, was anxious for half the night. When he heard the crying and shouting, his face instantly turned pale and he slammed the table, just as the man outside ran in.
"Master, I arrived at our grain storage area a quarter of an hour ago, and our grain had already been emptied."
The head of the Su family was filled with anger, and he grabbed the boy by the collar, "Since the food was gone when you arrived, why did you come back only now!"
This boy is almost dead with grievance.
"When I arrived near our grain storage area, I encountered the Northwest Army who were searching the mountains for people. The Northwest Army officers thought I was an arsonist and questioned me for a long time. They almost took me back to the barracks.
Later, they realized that it was a misunderstanding, so they said that a group of people had come and transported the grain away a quarter of an hour ago, saying that they were following the master's orders and were afraid that the fire would burn the mountain and the grain, so they moved it away.
When I went to see it, the granary was indeed empty and there were many marks from the wheel shafts.
It was dark at night and the mountain road was difficult to travel on. The commander of the Northwest Army said that he would send the young man out of the forest, but he had to report to General Mu first and ask General Mu to send troops to chase him.
As a result, when we returned to the military camp, the fire was out of control and we couldn't find General Mu for a while. After we finally found General Mu and reported the news to him, the general sent me down the mountain.
No matter how fast you hurry, you will be back by this time."
Hearing that Mu Chuan had helped to chase after the baby, Master Su's expression finally looked a little better. "Is it just our family that's lost, or is it someone else's family as well?"
The servant shuddered and said, "From what the Northwest Army said, our family is lost."
Mr. Su's expression, which had finally looked a little better, turned gloomy again.
As they were talking, a servant came in from outside, "Master, there's news from the county government, saying that the Queen Mother has ordered Lord Lu to release Master Ji."
Everyone knows that Madam Ji and Su Qingqing had tea in the teahouse yesterday.
Not only did they drink tea, but after drinking the tea, Mrs. Ji took Ji Changming, who was supposed to be locked up in the yamen prison, out of the teahouse and took him home.
As a result, the Northwest Army camp caught fire that night. Other families were fine, but something happened to the Su family. It would have been fine if it had just happened, but as soon as they got into trouble, Ji Xun was released by the Queen Mother?
No one would believe that there is nothing fishy about this.
Master Su clenched his fist and punched the table next to him.
Master Su was just getting angry when another servant came running in. Last night, he sent a servant to the forest to check the stored grain, but the person who went out did not come back for a long time. Master Su was uneasy, so he sent another person to check.
As soon as the man entered the room, he was horrified and said, "Master, all our food is gone. Not a single bag is left. All is gone."
The news was verified again, and Master Su felt so suffocated that he almost vomited blood.
"Ji Xun, are you kidding me?"
With a sullen face, Master Su walked out and said, "Bring your people with you and follow me to the Ji family."
Although none of the eight families had revealed the locations of their grain storage, they had been trying to find out each other's secrets over the years. He had not discovered the Ji family's grain storage location, but that did not mean that the Ji family did not know about his.
The Ji family was targeted by the Queen, so in order to protect themselves, they betrayed his family!
It's not that cheap.
Master Su brought his men and headed straight for the Ji family.
But when he got there, he saw Xiao Yu, the deputy general who followed the Queen, at the gate of Ji's house.
Xiao Yu had a cold face and crossed his arms, holding a sword in his hand, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said in a cold voice: "The Queen is talking to Master Ji, no one is allowed to disturb her."
If the queen was an ordinary woman, they would have been fine with breaking in today, but she is not.
This man is a man who kills and conquers people without mercy.
If it wasn't for the last resort, who would want to confront her? Even though this was Yulin, he was not absolutely sure that he could take down the queen.
You know, Duke Xue always fell into the hands of the other side.
When the other party went to Guangdong and Guangxi to provide disaster relief, they put Duke Xue in prison. Mr. Su asked himself if he had the ability of Duke Xue, not to mention that he was just a manager of the Marquis' Mansion here.
Faced with Xiao Yu's tough and cold attitude, Master Su endured the pain in his chest and did not rush in. Instead, he turned around and took his men to the Northwest Army.
He must know Mu Chuan's attitude towards this matter.
As soon as they arrived at the Northwest Army, they were told that General Mu was injured in a fire yesterday and was not available to meet guests.
It's obvious what this means.
Mu Chuan didn't intend to help him.
Master Su grabbed the young man who came to the forest to check the grain yesterday and said, "Didn't you say that General Mu sent people to chase him?"
Before the young man could speak, the military officer next to him said, "Master Su is here because of the food theft yesterday. Our general has indeed sent 300 men to chase after them.
But the other party acted early, and we received the news more than an hour later, so we may not be able to catch up."
Who can tell whether they may not be able to catch up or they simply don't want to catch up.
Master Su was filled with anger, staring at the soldier in front of him, "What happened to the fire in your barracks yesterday?"
The soldier shrugged, "Who knows?"
Master Su snorted heavily.
Who knows, I'm afraid it might be Mu Chuan and Su Qingqing joining forces.
The Su family's affairs spread to the ears of the remaining families in Yulin in the blink of an eye.
Su Qingqing used the Ji family as a threat and stole all the food from the Su family.
If there is one Su family, there will be a second, third, and fourth Su family. However, the Northwest Army is obviously trying to protect itself and not get involved at all.
For a moment, the remaining few families were trembling with fear and panic, not knowing who would be Su Qingqing's next target.
The Su family didn't have any food left as was all robbed, while the Ji family, which cooperated with Su Qingqing, did not lose a single grain.
Ji family.
Su Qingqing and Mu Chuan sat opposite each other, with Ji Xun, who was sweating and trembling with fear, between them.
Ji Xun never expected that after being released from prison and returning home, he would encounter such a scene.
Su Qingqing and Mu Chuan had a meeting at his house.
As a soldier, Mu Chuan spoke without hesitation, "My Northwest Army also needs to eat. Your Majesty wants to take the food away. As the children of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Northwest Army should cooperate, but I hope Your Majesty will not disappoint the children of the army."
Ji Xun looked at Su Qingqing tremblingly.
Su Qingqing drank tea and smiled, "Whether the soldiers are afraid of the coldness of their hearts depends on what General Mu does. You might as well be frank. If you want to occupy the mountains and become the king in the northwest, I have no objection, but..."
Su Qingqing narrowed her eyes and tapped , "I want a piece of the pie."
