The housekeeper is not an ignorant person. He was able to rush in to report even though there was an imperial envoy, which shows that what happened to the Third Young Master is not trivial and cannot be delayed.
"The third young master was arrested by the Western Army! The third young master's personal servant came back and said that the third young master was severely tortured and interrogated. When he rushed back, he saw,"
The housekeeper choked and said with a trembling voice: "There is already a lot of air coming out and little air coming in!"
What?!
Anlin Anzhe's expression changed drastically, and they both walked out the door.
When he reached the door, An Lin came to his senses and turned back to Jian Yu: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent matter at home that needs to be dealt with. Can we talk about it later? Regarding the issue of totems, the An family will definitely cooperate with the investigation and give an explanation."
As soon as he said this, An Zhe had disappeared. An Lin was anxious, fearing that his brother's temper would cause trouble, so he motioned with his eyes to the housekeeper to follow him.
"This matter is not urgent. Let's deal with the affairs of the third young master in the house first."
After saying this, Jian Yu looked at Zhou Jinyan. Zhou Jinyan nodded slightly, and Jian Yu had an idea.
She added: "I just want to go to the military camp, so let's go."
Without waiting for An Lin's response, Jian Yu walked out of the house first, followed by Zhou Jinyan.
The two people just looked at each other and were communicating silently.
Jian Yu: Western Army? Want to take a look.
Zhou Jinyan: Go.
That's why Jian Yu dared to say that. As the God of War, Prince Jing, he had the power to command nearly half of the Zhou army. With him in charge, he had nothing to fear when going to the military camp.
If others saw it, their jaws would probably drop again. What kind of courage does it take to have such a tacit understanding with Prince Jing!
Speaking of which, An Lin was already very worried about his nephew. Looking at the attitude of the imperial envoy, he was even more surprised. What on earth did he want to do to the An family?
The imperial envoy's trip to the military camp was definitely a spur-of-the-moment decision based on the steward's advice!
However, An Lin could no longer think about it. He ignored the carriage and rode directly to the military camp in the suburbs.
An Yun went out with Mr. An. After leaving Qingzhou City, one went south and the other went north. An Yun went to visit his former wife and meet old friends. He had not come back for two years after studying in Yizhou.
According to the distance, we should return to Qingzhou City this afternoon, but this happened!
An Yun only took one boy with him when he went out, and it was the same boy who came back just now to report the news.
Ten miles away from Qingzhou City is the Western Army Camp. Ten thousand soldiers are stationed here. A hundred miles westward is the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are a few nomadic people outside the border, and most of them do not interfere with the rivers.
Ten thousand Western troops are stationed here daily for training. If there is any movement on the border, support can be dispatched at any time.
The general in charge of 10,000 officers and soldiers is Qin Taiwei. He is a relatively well-established person.
"The Qin family, one of the four great families in the west?"
In the carriage, Jian Yu listened to Zhou Jinyan introduce the origin of Qin Taiwei, and she asked again: "Then what is his relationship with Qin Lang?"
"He and Qin Lang are cousins."
In this way, it also belongs to the direct branch of the Qin family.
Riding a horse is naturally faster than a horse-drawn carriage. Fortunately, the road from Qingzhou City to the military camp has been repaired. If there are bumps and bumps, Jian Yu will not be able to bear it and will lose time.
By the time Jian Yu and Zhou Jinyan arrived at the military camp, An Lin and An Zhe had been here for about a quarter of an hour.
"Why didn't you go in?"
Jian Yu asked, looking at the An family waiting anxiously outside the door.
"The people inside said that the military camp is an important place and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Let us wait until Taiwei Qin finishes his military training!"
An Zhe's tone sounded like he was complaining to an acquaintance.
He didn't think as much as An Lin. In An Zhe's mind, he thought that the imperial envoy helped his niece twice, once to help rescue the county boss from looking for trouble, and then to save An Zhe from being framed in the prefect's backyard.
In addition, the other party was entrusted by his sister to contact Qingzhou City. The other party previously meant that his brother-in-law also knew about this, so he actually had some trust in the imperial envoy.
But his brother had the same temperament as his father. He was suspicious and cautious in everything and always felt there was something wrong, so it was hard for him to say anything.
When encountering this matter now, after hearing Jian Yu's inquiry, Song Zhe couldn't control his emotions and spoke as he pleased.
He was really anxious and couldn't sit still for a moment. The An family could indeed rely on connections, but no matter how hard he found someone, it would not be as useful as entering the military camp, talking to Lieutenant Qin in person, and then bringing his son out!
As long as he thought of the butler's words about how much air comes out and how little air comes in, he couldn't let go of it.
The boy on the way here had already told them what had happened, and they had suffered an unreasonable disaster!
The two were walking on the roadside when a group of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared, saying they were arresting Xi Zuo and asked them if they had seen anyone suspicious.
The two of them didn't see it, so they naturally shook their heads and said no. They watched the officers and soldiers riding away on horseback, thinking that this incident was just an episode. Who would have thought that not long after, the officers and soldiers came back again and arrested them without saying a word.
After being taken into the military camp, the two were detained separately. The young man was tortured and asked whether they were cheating and what news they had spread. Of course, he could not admit that he was innocent.
After being whipped for more than ten times, he tried his best to deny it and stopped interrogating him. After an unknown amount of time, the official came over and told him that he could leave.
When they were let out, they happened to see the officers interrogating An Yong. The injuries on An Yong's body looked extremely horrific. Although the two were arrested together, it was obvious that the levels of interrogation and punishment were very different.
Then the boy learned that he was released because a fellow villager in the military camp vouched for his release. After leaving the military camp, he immediately rushed back to An Mansion and told the steward about the matter.
On the way here, An Lin and An Zhe both thought that there was something fishy going on.
The first is the so-called fellow villager. After asking the young fellow, the young fellow said that he had never seen his fellow villager from beginning to end. Moreover, he was picked up by the housekeeper and brought back to the house to be raised since he was a child. He had no idea where his hometown was.
It was obvious from this that Taiwei Qin deliberately let the boy go and asked him to go back and spread the news.
In other words, Taiwei Qin had other purposes.
Since it is a situation that can be negotiated, no matter what the requirements are, they are nothing more than material aspects, which can be easily satisfied.
An Lin and An Zhe felt a little low in their hearts. If they asked for something, they wouldn't have done anything. An Xing's life should have been saved.
It was obvious now that the other party was trying to intimidate the An family. They would definitely have to talk in person, but they had to temper their attitude first.
They were fine on weekdays, but now that they knew that An Yun was injured, An Lin and An Zhe were very worried. They were indeed alive, but what to do if the root cause of the disease was found? Of course, the first thing is to take the person out for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
An Zhe had just finished talking to Jian Yu, and the soldiers guarding the door also came over. When he saw Jian Yu and Zhou Jinyan, he said in a rather arrogant tone: "Who are you! This is an important military camp. No one else is allowed to enter." !”
"This is not a place where you can go sightseeing. If you are sensible, get out of here! If you stay any longer, twenty military sticks will kill you!"
Jian Yu turned back to look at Zhou Jinyan. Zhou Jinyan took out the token from his arms and slapped it directly in the soldier's face.
How close? In order to see the token clearly, the soldiers became enemies.
