Chapter 294: Southern Xinjiang Descendants
Chapter 294: Southern Xinjiang Descendants
Jiang Yu had just settled the disaster victims in Liuzhou City when the refugees there began to panic and run around, even fighting with the imperial army in order to escape the city as soon as possible.
Jiang Yu put a lot of effort into quelling the rebellion while ensuring that the civilians were not harmed.
Just as I was taking a moment to look through the briefing presented to me, a clear voice came from outside the door.
"Sixth brother, I have something important to discuss with you."
Jiang Yu looked up and saw Jiang Che, who had just returned from patrolling the city, walking into the house.
"Any new discoveries?"
Jiang Che nodded and said, "Not bad."
He grabbed the teapot on the table and took a few sips before saying, "Sixth Brother, do you still remember the caravan mentioned in the secret letter?"
"I just found them while on patrol. They were sneaking around the city. After our people caught them, they found Nanjiang ID cards in their bags. Now I've asked someone to take them all away."
Jiang Che paused, then added with a complicated expression.
"Moreover, among that group of people, there was a woman who looked very similar to someone we all knew."
Jiang Yu paused while flipping through the briefing, his expression unchanged: "Take me over to have a look."
At present, Liuzhou was full of victims of the plague, so the place where the caravan was detained was just the yard of a family's house.
When Jiang Yu walked in amid the salutes of the guards, he saw that the people in the caravan were all tied up hand and foot, looking at him with horror.
Jiang Yu glanced around coldly, finally stopping on a woman.
The woman's appearance was 90% similar to Concubine An.
"What's your name?" Jiang Yu glanced at her.
The woman glanced at him timidly, then immediately lowered her eyes and said, "Bai, Bai Anrong."
Jiang Yu stared at her with hawk-like eyes, and then he turned around and said, "Take her to my yard."
The guards nearby immediately rushed out and escorted the woman out.
Bai Anrong panicked: "Let me go, let me go!"
But before he could shout a few times, his mouth was blocked by the guards and he was taken to the yard where Jiang Yu was and made to kneel down.
Before my eyes was a black robe with dark cloud patterns on it, swaying slowly in the wind.
Bai Anrong was shaking like a sieve, trembling and not daring to meet the eyes of the man in front of her who was looking down coldly like a flying dragon in the sky.
After a while, she heard a voice as cold as a pond coming from above her head.
"What is your relationship with Concubine An?"
The sudden words frightened Bai Anrong so much that she almost had a cardiac arrest.
After finally calming down, she calmed down and replied, "What Noble Concubine An? I am just a commoner, how can I be related to any Noble Concubine?"
"Yeah."
Jiang Yu smiled. He picked up a medium-sized rivet from the side and threw it to the guard next to him.
"Nail it in."
Jiang Che, who was standing aside, watched Bai Anrong's panicked expression with interest, and did not forget to threaten her: "Don't worry, my Sixth Brother has plenty of ways to ensure that you survive this torture. If you still don't tell me, at best you'll have a scar on your hand, and at worst you'll just lose an arm. Even if your arm doesn't work, you still have your legs and feet. Don't worry, we'll take turns, and you won't die."
Seeing the rivet pointed at her palm, the guard had already raised the hammer high and was about to smash it down. Bai Anrong was sweating profusely and could no longer play dumb and shouted immediately: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Jiang Yu waved his hand, and the guard immediately understood, put away the rivets and hammer and retreated.
Bai Anrong's lips trembled, and after a long while she said, "Noble Concubine An, she is my cousin..."
After getting the information from Bai Anrong, Jiang Yu ordered someone to drag her away.
He stroked the ring on his finger and looked towards the other side of the sky with his hands behind his back.
When Bai Anrong was struggling on the ground just now, she said that her mother and Concubine An's mother were originally sisters. They were both prostitutes in the same brothel. However, Concubine An's mother was bought home as a concubine by the Duke of the time. Due to some opportunities, her background was concealed and she was adopted as a goddaughter by the Empress Dowager Ci. Bai Anrong's mother was taken away by a businessman.
In other words, Concubine An is also a descendant of the people of southern Xinjiang.
Jiang Yu's eyes darkened. His guess all along turned out to be correct.
The fact that he was poisoned and accused of treason was closely related to Concubine An.
The person who secretly manipulated everything and treason was Prince Chen Jiang Chen.
Jiang Che standing by obviously had an idea: "Sixth brother, they keep saying they are here to mine and make money, but they are sneaky. I suspect they must have other purposes, maybe it has something to do with the plague in Liuzhou."
Jiang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "First, temporarily detain these people from southern Xinjiang, and then investigate the people they have contacted and the places they have been to before. Maybe you will find something."
There is not enough evidence now. If I go back and report to my father directly, I am afraid I will not be able to prove Jiang Chen.
It would be better to finish dealing with the matter in Liuzhou first. Maybe we can get some useful clues from these people in southern Xinjiang.
Liuzhou first suffered a sudden death and then an epidemic. The successive mutations clearly showed that something was fishy.
"A conspiracy, a killing spree."
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I will give you, the chess player, a chess game that you will never forget."
The clear and brisk wind of the cold winter blows endlessly, passing through the ice peaks that point straight to the sky like sharp swords, whistling towards the land of Liuzhou, and circling to the area of Yanjing with the low-flying goshawks, bringing with it the sound of haze and ice and snow being shattered by the wind.
The servants in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion looked at each other, not knowing what to do after staring at an anonymous package they had just received.
After thinking it over, they couldn't make up their minds, so they took the package and found Song Rao in the mansion. Yun Shuning and Wei Xi happened to be talking there too.
When Wei Xi saw that it was from Liuzhou, he was a little excited at first, muttering to himself that maybe Yun Sheng had sent it to them. He hurried forward to take it, but hesitated before touching it.
She hadn't been able to contact Yun Sheng for nearly half a month, and suddenly receiving such a package at this moment inevitably made her hesitant.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Xi gritted his teeth, took the package, and opened it neatly.
With just one glance, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
