Chapter 272: Master Yuwen escaped

Qamdo

Before the evidence about the Yuwen clan and the Nancheng governor abducting people was delivered to Qi Wushuang, Grand Tutor Yuwen received the news that the island had been captured.

After all, he doesn't need evidence like a petition from thousands of people.

In this battle, the Yuwen clan not only lost 30,000 captured civilians, but also lost thousands of guards. The construction of the island, which had been invested for several years, had to be temporarily stopped.

The Yuwen clan suffered much greater losses than the Zhuang clan.

At this moment, Master Yuwen's mood could not be described as angry. He only regretted that he had not killed Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei earlier.

In fact, Master Yuwen had attempted to assassinate Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang several times, but he failed every time. Later, he stopped because he was worried about being caught.

Yuwen Taishi asked Zhang Muliao: "What do you think we should do next?"

"Ye Wuwei must have evidence that the Yuwen clan and the Nancheng Governor were involved in human abduction. There is absolutely no way the Nancheng Governor can escape this matter, and there is absolutely no way the Yuwen clan can completely shirk responsibility.

The Grand Tutor now has two options:

One is to blame the abduction of people on the collusion between someone from the Yuwen clan and the governor of Nancheng.

But if this happens, the governor of Nancheng will be dead, and the results of the Grand Tutor's years of management in Nancheng will be destroyed in an instant.

And rebuilding the island is no easier than before.

The second option is to simply unite with Nanling to rebel.

This has an advantage. The Governor of Nancheng is not a dead chess piece, but an extremely advantageous chess piece.

The islands can also be reused.

But if he fails, the only place the Grand Master can go is probably an island."

Grand Tutor Yuwen asked gloomily, "What are our chances of success if we unite with Nanling and Nancheng?"

Zhang Muliao didn't say anything.

Yuwen Taishi's heart sank even more: "Just tell the truth."

"If Qi Wushuang didn't have the bomb, we could still fight him, and it's not impossible for the southern part of Qi Dynasty to belong to us.

But now, we have no chance of winning, and the best we can do is prolong the war."

"How did the matter of me asking you to find out the bomb formula go?"

"The people stationed in their weapons workshops sent word:

The manufacturing procedures of gunpowder and bombs were scattered among many people, and only Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang knew the real formula.

None of the recipes we have tried so far have been successful.

Even if we have it, without the shell material of hand grenades and hand grenades, the gunpowder weapons we make will not be as powerful as Qi Wushuang and his team."

"I have leverage over the various small and medium-sized families that are dependent on me. How much use do you think they can bring to the table?"

"It could be of some use, but before we see whether the Grand Tutor has a chance of winning, I'm afraid few families would be willing to risk their lives to join us in a rebellion."

After listening to Zhang Muliao's words, Grand Tutor Yuwen weighed the pros and cons for a long time.

"If it were you, which path would you choose?"

"Whichever path you choose will have its pros and cons. It all depends on how the Grand Master decides."

Yuwen Taishi said slowly:

"I think what you said is wrong. No matter which path I choose, I will have to live a miserable life.

So why don’t I choose the second option?”

You can also vent your anger!

"Since the Grand Tutor has made up his mind, he must leave Qamdo as soon as possible."

"Yes, I plan to leave tonight."

That night, Grand Tutor Yuwen, along with his confidants including Zhang Muliao and dozens of assassins, left the city of Chamdo through the secret passage in Yuwen Mansion. The imperial guards stationed outside the Grand Tutor Mansion did not notice them.

Master Yuwen knew that he could not delay on the road, so he rode back to Fengdu day and night without stopping.

……

Qi Wushuang received the evidence of the Yuwen clan and the Nancheng governor kidnapping people three days later than Yuwen Taishi.

This includes a petition signed by 30,000 civilians proving that they were indeed abducted to this island to do free labor and were rescued from the island by Ye Wuwei and his men.

After receiving the evidence, Qi Wushuang sent someone to Yuwen Mansion to inform Master Yuwen who was "sick and resting in bed", but was told that Master Yuwen had returned to Fengdu to recuperate.

Qi Wushuang sent the Imperial Guards to surround the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and found a secret passage in the mansion, confirming that Grand Tutor Yuwen had "escaped".

At the court meeting on the second day, Qi Wushuang made public the evidence given to him by Ye Wuwei and the news that Master Yuwen had "escaped".

Now, all the officials who had previously reported that Ye Wuwei was lawless and had arbitrarily blown up other people's property and demanded severe punishment were speechless.

The evidence is conclusive. Ye Wuwei was not lawless and arbitrarily blowing up other people's property, but was arresting criminals and carrying out his mission.

The officials of the Yuwen faction were in a panic. They guessed that Grand Tutor Yuwen was plotting treason. They didn't know whether Qi Wushuang would target them first and convict them of treason.

At the same time, they were also disappointed with Master Yuwen, and realized that he was treating them as abandoned pawns.

Qi Wushuang is not targeting officials from the Yuwen faction at the moment.

If we take action against them now, we will only force them to join Master Yuwen's side.

But keeping it always poses a hidden danger.
