It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 192

Three days later, the mark outside the Pingling County Guesthouse was discovered by chance.

The innkeeper saw a strange symbol of a little man with stretched legs scratched on the outer wall, and he started cursing in the street.

Pingling County also set up a special outer wall for everyone to leave messages, so that they can be engraved on the door of the guesthouse. The shopkeeper felt that some competitors were trying to use some shameful witchcraft and curse methods to prevent him from doing business.

After hearing the news, the spy from Pingyang County was puzzled but tried to decipher it. Then he looked at the word "gone" in his hand and was puzzled.

How did Wu Fusui and his gang manage to leave quietly without alerting their men?

Because several counties along the way have stepped up their inspection efforts, in order to avoid getting into trouble, Jiang Yan has been sleeping in the open air in the suburbs with Xiao Li's caravan for several days. There are also many people living nearby who have temporarily changed their route to avoid the situation when they saw that the situation was not right.

This time the commotion was much bigger and difficult to conceal. Not only did the capital of Zhongyuan Prefecture and the surrounding counties send people to inquire about the matter, but even Wu Dande, who was hiding in the imperial city, received a secret letter.

The secret letter stated that several counties including Zhongyang County, Pingling County, and Changling County were trying their best to intercept a man. According to the physical characteristics reported, he was most likely the son of Wu Xiang.

Wu Shande was busy with government affairs these days, and even if his beloved only son secretly left, he had no time to assign people to bring him back.

Because he was worried that Wu Fusui would be kidnapped by his enemies when he went out, Wu Shande ordered his people to block the news of his departure. Unexpectedly, the evil creature was so bold as to slip away to Muping County in a blink of an eye.

It is true that Muping County and the surrounding areas have been the sphere of influence of the Wu family for several years. In the early years, for convenience, Wu Shande and his sister Wu Guipin took turns to influence the old emperor, pushing their own people to the position of governor, and secretly recommended a general who did not care about anything to take on the sensitive position of governor.

But things are different now. Not to mention that the daughter of Governor Mo of Zhongyuan Prefecture, who has been the prince's consort for a year, is still missing, and his son-in-law is also lost by himself. Governor Mo must hate him with gnashing teeth, and even the current movement does not mean that he will let him go.

Wu Shande could be cruel and not care about the Wu family members abandoning them in Zhongyuan Prefecture, but he could not be cruel to his only son.

He quickly wrote a secret letter in his study and ordered it to be delivered to the governor of Zhongyuan Prefecture as quickly as possible, requesting that the governor do his utmost to protect the people. He also ordered his subordinates to use all means to contact the evildoer and his guards and have them evacuate Zhongyuan Prefecture as soon as possible.

……

In Zhongyang County, the man clutched the unburned note, musing silently. They'd mobilized a large force and searched for days, but the result of being exposed was that they hadn't even seen a single person. They were likely being tricked.

Who betrayed them? The man looked worried. He took the note and wrote a few words on it, intending to remind everyone that the translation had been leaked and to remember to replace it in time and to be careful to catch the traitor.

The guard knocked on the door and entered, speaking quickly: "Sir, the capital and the prefectural capital have urgently sent people here. The news that Wu Fusui is in Zhongyuan Prefecture should be correct."

The man crumpled up the wet note and said, "Hurry up and catch them before they do."

The actions of the Wu family in the capital and the governor's office in the prefectural city were also reported to Governor Mo's residence.

Mo Xian listened to his subordinates' reports casually, and stopped wiping his sword while listening.

He pondered for a long time, then ordered outside the room: "Ask the two princes' wives to come here, there is something important to discuss."
