Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Let’s Talk About Gu Yu

The moment Director Gu spoke these words, both Yang Wang and Cen Hong felt like they were going to explode with frustration, unable to utter the excessive words on their minds.

Their faces shifted back and forth between pale and green, before finally setting on a sickly hue.

Infuriating, absolutely infuriating.

They had been lingering in Bailu Town for so long, yet they didn’t apprehend Qiao Xiaomai, nor did they find the treasure.

Furthermore, Cen Hong had been reported by Yang Ye in front of the emperor.

This trip to Bailu Town, they gained absolutely no benefit!

“What should we do now?” Yang Ye looked towards Director Gu, seeking advice.

“Leave half of these soldiers behind to guard Anping Village, the remaining will return to the camp.” Director Gu said, looking towards the silent county chief, “County Chief Dai, you can lead these soldiers back.”

County Chief Dai was also dazed by the succession of shocking news.

The Tong Family are the descendants of Gu Yu?

And they’ve been hiding treasure?

My God…

My God!

Remembering the Prime Minister back in the Capital City, County Chief Dai’s heart skipped a beat. The Prime Minister had instructed him to care for the Tong family, only mentioning that the Tongs were his distant relatives.

Being related to the descendants of Gu Yu…

That’s terrifying.

Could this matter implicate the Prime Minister?

However, looking at the Grand Emperor’s attitude towards the Tong Family, would there be any problems even if it did involve him?

Moving against the Tong Family would be equivalent to moving against me.

Could these words be said casually?

His brain in chaos, the bewildered County Chief Dai led away the five thousand soldiers.

The remaining five thousand soldiers, as per Director Gu’s orders, thoroughly encircled Anping Village.

The sudden encirclement of the village was a major event, causing the villagers to panic.

Tong Tiehu quickly rang the bell to explain to the villagers: A secret tunnel appeared in the mountains, which might mean the emergence of a treasure. Therefore, the court sent people to look for the treasure. Everyone should not panic, and continue with their tasks.

Due to the morning incident involving Yang Wang and Cen Hong’s inquiries, many villagers were aware of the existence of the secret tunnel.

Hearing Tong Tiehu’s words, they were able to calm their frantic hearts.

It was normal for the court to send people over when treasure was discovered.

The villagers dispersed quickly. Yang Ye turned to Qiao Xiaomai, “Miss Qiao, let’s go. Let’s continue with our lunch at your home.”

It was such a mood killer to have their meal interrupted and to be delayed for so long.

“Chief Tong, Third Son, you two come as well.” Yang Ye called the grandfather-grandson duo.

Yang Wang, with a dark face, also followed along.

The treasure was gone, but the matter wasn’t over yet.

Seeing Yang Wang follow, Cen Hong naturally wanted to do the same. Seeing this, Yang Ye quickly extended his arm to stop him, “General Cen, Miss Qiao does not welcome you, the wound on her arm hasn’t healed yet.”

Upon hearing this, Cen Hong’s face turned even darker. He gritted his teeth and said, “Then I’ll return to the town first.”

Yang Ye grinned, “Go back. Do not loiter around Anping Village. Just wait in the town for the imperial edict. As for the matter of you intentionally bringing a rabid dog out of the military camp and causing harm to the common people, it’s not over yet.”

Cen Hong was so angry that he almost shattered his teeth, “Then I’ll go first.”

Yang Ye just grunted in response.

Watching Cen Hong’s retreating figure, Yang Ye’s sneer faded. He turned to Qiao Xiaomai and said, “Miss Qiao, shall we go?”

“Please, Prince.” Qiao Xiaomai stepped aside.

Yang Ye chuckled and walked in front.

Upon reaching the Qiao Family, Yang Ye didn’t have Qiao Xiaomai add more dishes. Instead, they all sat down to continue lunch.

Throughout the meal, Yang Wang maintained his somber expression, still holding onto that brick in his hand.

Yang Ye took a cold look at him, then shifted his gaze to Tong Tiehu, “Chief Tong, why don’t you tell us about Prince Pingnan’s affair? After all, he turned out to be Grandpa Emperor’s sworn brother. This matter seems rather mysterious.”
