Chapter 265 Ye Wuwei Enters the South City Governor's Mansion
After Ye Wuwei left Lin Haisheng's house, he went to Shui's Medicinal Herbs Store.
Ye Wuwei briefly described Lin Haisheng's condition and asked the owner of the medicine store to find a doctor to treat Lin Haisheng.
Then, Ye Wuwei took some anti-seasickness medicine and basic medicine and left.
After returning to the abandoned courtyard near the mountain, Ye Wuwei began to arrange tasks.
"Senior Ye, in three days you will take a dozen people to deliver the explosives to a certain place, and then set off for Fengdu.
After arriving in Fengdu, you will go to a certain place to retrieve these explosives, and then lead people to blow up important places of the Yuwen family.
For example, the Yuwen family’s ancestral hall, treasury, granary, etc.
Your goal is to create chaos and cause panic among the Yuwen clan. Make the noise as loud as possible, but be careful not to harm innocent people."
Ye Hongxia didn't listen to Ye Wuwei's instructions at all: "My purpose is to protect your safety. I will not leave you."
"But if you don't go to Fengdu, who can set off bombs in the Yuwen clan's ancestral hall and granary?"
"Then I won't go either."
Ye Wuwei raised his voice: "Ye Hongxia."
"Don't yell at me, I'm not your subordinate."
Ye Wuwei softened his voice: "You've been to the island before. With Yao Guangzhi and the others and these bombs, I can handle it."
"You can handle it, swords have no eyes."
Yao Guangzhi and the others all pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to hear the conversation between the two.
Ye Wuwei pursed his lips and said, "Mom, I beg you."
The word "mother" startled Ye Hongxia and she stood up:
"Is it not okay for me to go? If you do this, I'll suspect you're going to murder me."
Yao Guangzhi and the others had long guessed the relationship between Ye Hongxia and Ye Wuwei, so they were not surprised at all to see Ye Wuwei calling Ye Hongxia "mother".
However, Ye Hongxia's reaction made everyone more suspicious about Ye Hongxia's identity.
Seeing Ye Hongxia relax, Ye Wuwei began to assign tasks:
"Yao Guangzhi, lead everyone to create the illusion that Pancheng and Shengcheng are sending troops to Fengdu, and spread this news to everyone."
Shengcheng is a state between Ledu and Fengdu, but the governor of Shengcheng is a member of the Qi clan.
……
Three days later, Ye Hongxia and a dozen people were ready to set out on a mission.
Before leaving, Ye Hongxia said to Ye Wuwei:
"You must stay alive and wait for me to see you, otherwise I won't be able to face your father even if I die."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Although she was worried about Ye Wuwei's safety, Ye Hongxia still left.
After Ye Hongxia left, Ye Wuwei went to the Nancheng Governor's Mansion on time.
Hearing that they were from Chamdo, the Governor of Nancheng thought:
I just received a letter from the Grand Tutor a few days ago, asking me to keep an eye on any unusual activity in South City. I also wrote back to the Grand Tutor to let him know I was safe, so why did he send someone again?
"Bring him in."
Ye Wuwei presented the letter to the Governor of Nancheng, "This is the letter that the Grand Tutor ordered me to deliver urgently."
The governor of Nancheng opened the letter:
The letter said that Grand Master Yuwen had received the latest news that Ye Wuwei, commander of the Qi'an tribe, had gone to Fengdu with 500 people.
He also brought with him an imperial edict requiring the local governors to obey his orders.
In order to prevent any changes in Fengdu, the governor of Nancheng was ordered to send 15,000 soldiers to Fengdu for assistance.
After reading the letter, the governor of Nancheng carefully looked at the handwriting and seal, confirming that it was the seal of Grand Tutor Yuwen and that it was written by Grand Tutor Yuwen himself.
"Did the Grand Tutor ask you to convey any other message?"
"The Grand Master only instructed me to travel day and night to personally deliver this letter to you."
Hearing Ye Wuwei say this, the Nancheng Governor looked at Ye Wuwei specifically:
He really looked like he had been traveling day and night and was exhausted.
This is also where Ye Wuwei is careful.
He always took the details into consideration every time he went on a mission.
The Governor of Nancheng fell into deep thought:
If Ye Wuwei and the others came to South City, I should be able to know something about the situation.
However, the islands and coastal areas have been normal recently. Even the coastal fishing villages have been investigated and no strangers have entered.
It seems that Ye Wuwei’s target should not be Nancheng.
Could it be that Ye Wuwei’s destination is really Fengdu?
But fifteen thousand soldiers is not a small number. There are only fifty thousand soldiers in Nancheng. If fifteen thousand soldiers are sent out, they will not be able to protect Nancheng if anything happens.
But if he doesn't listen to the Grand Tutor, he won't be able to take responsibility if something happens to Fengdu.
Thinking of this, the Southern City Governor asked Ye Wuwei: "Do you know Ye Wuwei?"
“I don’t know him, but I’ve heard of him.
Qi An's department just finished a major case not long ago, and his reputation is already growing."
"Oh, what big case?"
The Governor of Nancheng naturally knew about Ye Wuwei's investigation into the Minister of Personnel, but he had only heard a general outline of the matter and did not know much about Ye Wuwei's character.
"Ye Wuwei investigated and punished several officials in the Ministry of Personnel. The Grand Tutor's men were also pulled down and replaced with the Emperor's men."
"What do people think of him?"
"People say all sorts of things, but I heard that the Grand Tutor suffered a great loss at his hands. And..."
Having said this, Ye Wuwei stopped.
"What else?"
Ye Wuwei said vaguely:
"We've fought him before, but we never gained anything, and we suffered heavy losses."
Ye Wuwei's words were vague, but the Nancheng Governor understood:
The Grand Tutor had sent people to assassinate Ye Wuwei, but all failed.
This sentence made the Governor of Nancheng dare not underestimate Ye Wuwei, but because Ye Wuwei's words were vague, the Governor of Nancheng was less suspicious of Ye Wuwei's identity.
"I need to write a reply to the Grand Tutor. You can rest in the mansion first. When the letter is finished, you can bring it to the Grand Tutor for me."
Ye Wuwei agreed and let the servants take him to rest.
After Ye Wuwei left, the Nancheng Governor called his confidant over:
"Quickly find out if there's anything unusual happening in Fengdu. Also, find out if Pancheng and Shengcheng have sent troops to Fengdu."
