After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

Yuzhu and Nanzhu both widened their eyes, somewhat unable to believe it. After all, they had heard that Lord Wu was dominated by his wife when they were in the capital.

Yingyue rested her chin on her hand and said slowly after thinking for a while.

"It seems so. Yingqiu and I checked this together."

Yuzhu said seriously

"As expected, men are all the same."

Nanzhu knocked her on the head

"You understand again."

After waiting for a while, the two bailiffs came back with Zhou.

one of them said

"Boss, Wu Jiang is missing!"

Wei Hu's expression also changed.

"Gone? What do you mean gone? How could it be gone?!"

"Just now, we followed Zhou back and indeed found the bush where the man was hiding. We also found traces of someone lying there, but we couldn't find Wu Jiang."

"Yes, we looked for it on both sides, but we couldn't find it."

Wei Hu's face looked very ugly.

He had been escorting prisoners to Lingbei for such a long time, but he had never made such a big mistake.

This matter could be big or small. If Jiangcheng holds on to it, then his job would be over.

If things go wrong, all the yamen runners in their line of work will suffer.

Wei Hu took out a whip and whipped Zhou.

"Tell me! Where did you hide the person?"

Zhou screamed and said

"I just left it there! She was breathing more than breathing in, who knows how it disappeared!"

Seeing that she didn't tell the truth, Wei Hu whipped her a few more times, causing her to roll on the ground in pain.

"I really don't know. I just left it there and covered it with straw... Ouch... Stop hitting me... I really don't know how she disappeared."

Wu Yong didn't dare to step forward to grab the whip, so he could only shout

"Master Wei, my mother really didn't lie. We did put her in the bushes and simply covered her with grass. We didn't care about her anymore. We really don't know why she disappeared."

Wei Hu stopped when he heard this.

He glanced at the people who were resting and said

"Leave two behind, and follow me to look for the rest."

"Yes."

"Yes."

After they left, the remaining exiled prisoners and Jiang Sheng and others rested where they were.

The two yamen runners who stayed behind were pacing back and forth anxiously, and it seemed that they were also very worried.

Time passed little by little, and Wu Ming, as if she was pregnant, suddenly said that she wanted to take over.

Because he was always honest and was wearing shackles, the two yamen runners who were worried did not follow him, but just gave him a warning.

"Go quickly and come back quickly, don't dawdle."

Wu Ming nodded repeatedly and then walked deeper into the woods.

Seeing that he hadn't come back for a long time, the guards on duty shouted

Wu Ming in the woods shouted back

"Sir, I have a stomachache and need to stay out for a while."

The yamen runner rolled his eyes

"There are so many things to do." So she didn't go to look for him.

About an incense stick of time later, Wei Hu and the others came back.

Zhou was carrying someone on her back.

Did they find it? Zhou staggered towards this side, and Wu Yong hurried forward to take it. As soon as he put his arm around Jiang Lin, he felt a chill in his hand, and he jumped away immediately in fear.

"Mother...she...she..."

Zhou was already injured, and not only was the wound painful, but she also had to carry a dead person on her back. She was filled with resentment and immediately said in a bad mood:

"died!"

If she wasn't afraid that Wei Hu would whip her to death, she wouldn't want to carry this unlucky thing.

What a jinx, he can't even let me rest in peace after his death.

She felt so sick carrying her back, and she didn't know who was so unlucky to have put her into that big pit.

They searched for a long time before they found the person.

These yamen runners were just lazy bastards. They didn't even offer a hand and just let an old woman carry them on her back.

Wei Hu didn't know her mumbling and said sternly

"Go collect firewood, burn Jiang, and collect the ashes. Carry them on your back."

Just as Zhou was about to say something, she saw Wei Hu touching the whip around his waist. The mother and daughter were so scared that they hurried to collect firewood.

Wei Hu glanced around and was about to talk to Li Si when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was there one person missing?

He thought for a moment.

"Where is Wu Mingren?"

The guard who had just stayed behind hurriedly said

"Wu Ming had diarrhea and went to the woods to relieve himself."

Wei Hu frowned

"How long have you been there?"

"He's been gone for quite a while. I just called him and he responded. Boss, I'll go call him right away."

The bailiff walked to the edge of the woods and shouted "Wu Ming" several times, but received no response.

Wei Hu walked up to him and said in a deep voice

"Alright, stop shouting. Leave two of you here, and the rest of you can come with me and take a look."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Wei Hu drew his sword

"The grass is deep here, so we should be more alert."

"Got it, Boss."

Several people pushed aside the grass and walked inside carefully.

Soon, the yamen runner in front shouted loudly:

"Boss, I found something."

Wei Hu took two quick steps over and found that it was a pair of opened shackles.

Wei Hu picked it up and took a look, confirming that it was Wu Ming's shackles.

"Wu Ming actually escaped."

Li Si beside him whispered

"Boss, let's hurry up and chase him, otherwise he will get further away and it will be hard to catch him."

Wei Hu was about to leave when his eyes suddenly stopped. He raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Si asked in confusion

"What's wrong, boss?"

Wei Hu glanced at the bushes around him, which showed no traces of footsteps, and laughed coldly.

"Play with me in the dark."

Li Si looked around and whispered

"Boss, you mean..."

Wei Hu took out his sword and stabbed it fiercely into the deep grass, but found nothing unusual.

He sneered and said

"The person should be nearby and can't run far. Tell the brothers to look for him somewhere he can hide.

For such deep grass, just stab it hard, kill it and burn it directly, which is easier."

Wei Hu didn't understand why the person Zhou and Wu Yong had hidden was moved to another place for no reason.

I'm afraid this place was changed by Wu Ming.

He had probably already made plans since he found out that the mother and daughter had abandoned Jiang Lin.

Taking advantage of the confusion when they were looking for someone, he escaped.

Here, Zhou's mother and son had just returned from collecting firewood when they saw the yamen runners stabbing around in the woods with swords.

Zhou was still muttering, wondering what these officials were doing crazy again.

"Yong'er, go ask your father to come over and help light the fire."

Wu Yong glanced in the direction of the yamen runner and seemed to have guessed something.

"My father... my father..."

"What happened to your dad?"

Before Wu Yong could say anything, a scream suddenly came from the woods. Zhou was very familiar with this voice, it was clearly her husband's.

Zhou threw down the firewood and ran into the woods.

"What are you doing! What have you done to my husband! Stop it now!"

Wu Yong was afraid that his mother would cause trouble again, so he hurriedly followed them. Just as they reached the edge of the woods, Wei Hu and the others had already carried Wu Ming out.
