Chapter 1734: Chapter 1734: Goodness Gracious
County Magistrate Cheng was also beside him, “Yes, yes, Monarch Lu Xiang, you have to trust General Huang.”
Shu Yu furrowed her brows and asked General Huang, “Are you really not lending?”
General Huang’s attitude was quite good, but his tone was very firm, “I can’t lend it.”
“You, you’ll regret it.”
Shu Yu glared maliciously at the others present and shouted angrily, “None of you should regret it.”
After saying this, she stormed out in a rage.
Once outside, she headed directly to the Meng family’s escort agency. After walking one street, a somewhat familiar footstep sounded behind her.
Shu Yu turned into an alley, and sure enough, after a moment, Xia Yi appeared.
She cautiously looked around and quickly approached Shu Yu, asking somewhat puzzled, “What was all that about just now?”
Why suddenly appear so ostentatious, make a scene, and then leave?
Shu Yu rubbed her temples, “I had no choice. There is an insider by General Huang’s side, and time is so pressing, I couldn’t slowly wait for him to e find us.” What if General Huang couldn’t break away and the insider just happened to be sent to meet them?
Xia Yi frowned, “I understand, so you passed all the information from our side to General Huang?”
“Yes, I wrote a letter and slipped it into his hand just now.”
“That’s good then.”
At this time, General Huang had already found an excuse to e out. His retinue originally wanted to follow, but Shu Yu had whispered ‘Beware of the people around you’ in his ear just as she rushed up to him, which made him suddenly bee cautious. He claimed he needed to go to the restroom, blocking the retinue.
Once he was alone, he unfolded the letter Shu Yu had slipped to him and read it.
The first line of Shu Yu’s letter identified the insider. General Huang’s face instantly darkened.
Unexpectedly, this retinue member by his side wasn’t regarded as a close confidante, but because the person did a few impressive things before, it made him look at him differently. He had intended to nurture him this time too.
Who knew he was actually a mole.
General Huang continued reading, and soon he saw the matter regarding the black market being taken over by Meng Yunzheng and others, and he immediately brightened up.
Bravo, the little brat quietly acplished such a big task.
No wonder the Emperor always regretted he had no intention of joining the court. With such capabilities, not helping the Emperor is indeed a great loss.
General Huang was now somewhat thankful that Meng Yunzheng’s old home was in Chenggu County; otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a strong ally.
As he read further, his eyes grew brighter. Wow, not only did they take over the black market, but they also wanted to take over the entire Chenggu County??
Indeed, since they are doing so well, he might as well lend them a helping hand.
The letter further detailed that the rebels intended to invade the neighboring county in the next two days, mentioning that Qi Lie was among them, which could be of some assistance to him. It also noted that they had evidence of County Magistrate Cheng’s crimes in Chenggu County.
General Huang’s expression turned grave, the Second Prince and Third Prince should really be condemned by heavens, bringing disaster to Chenggu County wasn’t enough, and now they want to continue targeting the mon people?
After reading the letter, General Huang took the lighter and burned the letter, and then exited the restroom.
Upon returning to the front hall, County Magistrate Cheng greeted him with a smile, saying, “General, Monarch Lu Xiang is just a country bumpkin, with no manners whatsoever. She considers herself important after being a Village Chief. There’s really no need for you to take her words to heart. I’ve prepared good wine and food, please this way, General.”
General Huang raised his hand, “No need, as long as these mountain bandits are not cleared, the people won’t have peace. I won’t linger here; I will leave now.”
