After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 249 Ye Wuwei plans to go to South City

Although Ye Wuwei's opening of his mansion did not cause any commotion, the officials living in the west of the city still knew about it and sent gifts of congratulations.

Then other officials who wanted to make friends with Ye Wuwei also sent gifts.

The housekeeper took Xiao He to receive and entertain a group of social visitors.

With the housekeeper around, no one dared to give Xiao He a bad face. Gradually, Xiao He was able to socialize on her own.

Ye Wuwei's mind was not on these trivial matters. He received information about the Nancheng Governor from the intelligence personnel, which further confirmed his previous speculation:

The 30,000 missing civilians were most likely transported by the governor of Nancheng to an island south of Nancheng.

Ye Wuwei plans to go to South City in person.

After returning to the palace that night, Ye Wuwei told Qi Wushuang about his thoughts.

Qi Wushuang naturally objected:

"Nancheng is the sphere of influence of Grand Tutor Yuwen. He has always wanted to deal with you. If he knew you were going to Nancheng, wouldn't that give him the opportunity to strike?"

"Then don't let him know that I went to South City.

I will have Yao Guangzhi lead 500 men to pretend to go to Qingcheng to investigate the Qingcheng Governor, and then take a detour in disguise to meet me in Nancheng."

In the case of the Minister of Personnel, the governor of Qingcheng was among the seven people who took bribes.

Before Qi Wushuang could object, Ye Wuwei said:

"Thirty thousand people are missing. They are all your people. Since I know they may have been taken abducted to the island, there is no reason to ignore it."

Ye Wuwei's words successfully silenced Qi Wushuang.

"Then you can take Qi Wu with you. I'll feel more at ease with him around."

"No need. The things we are dealing with in Nancheng this time cannot be solved by just one more Qi Wu. We may even have to mobilize the army."

Hearing Ye Wuwei say this, Qi Wushuang felt even more dangerous.

"Only the troops from Huishui can be mobilized near Nancheng, and Fengdu is the stronghold of the Yuwen clan. I am out of reach."

"Don't worry, I won't act without certainty. At the very least, I'll verify the evidence and return to Chamdo first, then dispatch troops from Chamdo to deal with the Governor of Nancheng."

"I don't know you yet. If you had verified the Nancheng Governor's guilt, you would definitely think of saving 30,000 civilians first. Why would you go back to Chamdo for help?"

Ye Wuwei indeed thought so.

However, Ye Wuwei thought that if 30,000 people were really transported to the island as slaves, then 30,000 people themselves would be a strong fighting force.

Because most of these 30,000 people are young and strong laborers.

But Ye Wuwei couldn't tell Qi Wushuang his plan at this time, otherwise Qi Wushuang would be even more worried.

"I swear to you: I will never act without certainty."

"I do not believe.

You promised me before that you would not go to the North alone, but you turned around and left.

This time, you will definitely take action, even if it means risking your life."

“This time is different from going to the North.

I am going to the North alone. Even if there is danger, I will be the only one facing it and no one else will be implicated.

This time, 30,000 civilians are involved, and I can't risk their lives.

So I won’t act without certainty.”

After hearing what Ye Wuwei said, Qi Wushuang also felt that it made sense.

Moreover, as Ye Wuwei said:

Knowing that 30,000 people were suffering, Qi Wushuang could not turn a blind eye and stand idly by.

However, Qi Wushuang's identity restricted him from going to Nancheng to investigate the matter in person, and Ye Wuwei was indeed more suitable and more likely to succeed than anyone else in investigating the matter.

……

The next day, Ye Wuwei went to find Shui Changqing.

Ye Wuwei told Shui Changqing everything in detail.

Shui Changqing actually agreed with Ye Wuwei's actions:

"Since we already know that 30,000 people are likely to have been taken abducted and forced to work on the island, we naturally need to find a way to rescue them."

"Master, this is how you truly have great love in your heart, and your thoughts are all about the people. I also have some thoughts mixed in with the idea of ​​unifying the Qi Dynasty forces for Wushuang."

"Your relationship with Qi Wushuang is different, so it's inevitable that you might have some personal thoughts mixed in.

But even if it wasn't because of Qi Wushuang, as long as you knew that 30,000 people were suffering, I believe you would choose to save them.

After all, we have received many years of education.”

Ye Wuwei understood Shui Changqing's meaning:

In modern times, their duty is to protect the lives and property of the country and the people.

Even in the Qi Dynasty, helping vulnerable groups became a belief ingrained in their bones.

Especially the master, who has dedicated more than 20 years to the country in modern times. His obsession is deeper than Ye Wuwei, who has dedicated less than 10 years to the country.

The belief is also stronger!

Shui Changqing said to Ye Wuwei:

"The Shui family has opened medicine shops in Huishui, Pancheng, Nancheng, and Fengdu. If you need help, you can go to them with the jade token I gave you last time.

As long as it's not too dangerous, I believe they won't refuse."

"understood."

Afterwards, Shui Changqing and Ye Wuwei formulated a detailed action plan and emergency response plan.
