Heading to Yangzhou to See Wu Meiniang!
After bidding farewell to Cheng Yaojin and the others, Jun Ruyu left the palace with Li Jing and Fang Xuanling.
"Imperial Teacher, when are we leaving?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Jun Ruyu didn't even think about it and said," Losing the military pay is a serious matter. We can't delay any further!" If rumors were spread by someone with ill intentions, it would easily cause unrest among the people! Let's set off now. The sooner we resolve this matter, the better!”
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling nodded in agreement.
This matter could not be delayed.
Soon, Li Jing found horses and a dozen personal guards. Then, the group of a dozen people quickly left Chang 'an and rushed to Yangzhou.
Chang 'an was not close to Yangzhou. Fortunately, Fang Xuanling was a civil official, but he had followed Li Shimin to conquer the world.
His riding skills were not bad, which greatly saved him the time that would be wasted if he took a carriage.
The group of more than a dozen people ran day and night. Other than the necessary rest, there was almost no delay.
They finally arrived at Yangzhou the next morning.
As soon as he arrived outside Yangzhou City, he saw a group of people standing there.
When Jun Ruyu and the others approached, the leader cupped his fists and said,""The Prefect of Yangzhou, Wu Shi, and the officials of Yangzhou respectfully invite the Emperor's teacher to come!”
The warrior was a middle-aged man in his forties. He stood at the head of the officials.
Behind him, there was a young girl who was about nine years old.
At this moment, the girl was wearing a light green pleated dress. Although she was not old, she already had the feeling of a beauty.
Furthermore, women in ancient times got married early, usually at the age of twelve or thirteen. Therefore, a nine-year-old girl was not considered too young.
This woman's eyes were like mountains, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak. It made people want to look at her a few more times.
Jun Ruyu could guess her identity the moment she saw her.
Wu Mei Niang!
It was definitely Wu Mei Niang!
However, Jun Ruyu didn't have much time to interact with the first female emperor in history. After taking a deep look at Wu Meiniang, he looked directly at Wu Shi Ling and the others.
"People from martial arts universities, we're pressed for time. Let's not talk about small talk and get down to business! How's the situation now?"
Jun Ruyu got off the horse and went straight to the point.
Wu Shi Yao knew about Jun Ruyu's deeds and respected Jun Ruyu from the bottom of his heart. When he heard Jun Ruyu's words, he naturally wouldn't disobey.
As he led Jun Ruyu to the scene, he said,"To be honest, the situation is not looking good!”
"We've already sent all the bailiffs and soldiers in Yangzhou City. They've dug almost three feet into the ground, but they didn't even find a drop of bird shit, let alone a tael of silver!”
Jun Ruyu could not help but frown when she heard Wu Shi Yao's words.
He realized that this matter was more troublesome than he had imagined!
"Where are the soldiers who are escorting the pay? More than a thousand people couldn't just disappear into thin air, right?”
Jun Ruyu asked again.
The warrior shook his head and sighed.""Speaking of which, it's really strange. We've already sealed off the entire Yangzhou territory. Not to mention a person, even a bird can't escape. But after a day and a night, we still haven't found a single person!”
The money was gone!
He had also disappeared!
A total of three million taels of silver and more than a thousand people had disappeared into thin air just like that. If Jun Ruyu had not already figured out the person behind the scenes, she might have really wondered if aliens had come to commit the crime.
He turned his head to look at the warrior and saw that the warrior's face was filled with fatigue. His eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that the warrior was really doing his best to search.
"Martial arts university cultivator, I've come here, so your mission is completed. Go and rest for a while. Leave this place to me!”Jun Ruyu said.
" No," Wu Shi Hui shook his head and said," Imperial Teacher is new here and doesn't know much about this place. With me by your side, I can share your worries."”
Jun Ruyu smiled and said,"People from martial arts universities can only do good things if they have the energy!" Without energy, it was very likely that someone would commit a crime right under their noses without even knowing!”
"Besides, I still have something to ask someone from the martial arts university to do!”
When Martial Warrior Ling heard the hidden meaning in Jun Ruyu's words, a glint flashed across his eyes. He hurriedly took two steps forward. After hearing Jun Ruyu's instructions, his eyes could not help but light up again and again.
"Imperial Teacher, please rest assured. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!”
Hesitating for a moment, Wu Shi pushed Wu Mei Niang out and said,"Imperial Teacher, this is my daughter Mei Niang. Although she is young, she is the smartest talented woman in Yangzhou. She has been investigating the loss of the army's salary with me and knows all the details.”
Jun Ruyu saw Wu Shi's insistence and knew that he had good intentions, so she did not refuse.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Sister Mei Niang.”
From the first time Wu Meiniang saw Jun Ruyu, she had been secretly looking at Jun Ruyu.
She had heard about Jun Ruyu's deeds and was already very interested in her. Now that she saw that Jun Ruyu could control the entire scene at such a young age, she was completely different from the youths around her.
This caused Wu Meiniang to be filled with an unprecedented curiosity towards Jun Ruyu. At this moment, when she heard Jun Ruyu address her as Sister Meiniang, she did not know why, but she actually had a strange feeling in her heart.
However, although Wu Meiniang was young, she was already sensible. She smiled sweetly and said,"If Imperial Teacher has any questions, you can ask Mei Niang. Mei Niang will answer everything she knows!”
