I pushed the door open and walked in. Lord Lin was sitting in a chair, looking at a document.
"Sir!"
"Yifan has arrived? Sit down!"
"Lord Xie!"
I took a seat and looked at him.
He had a smile on his face, seeming to be in a good mood.
"Yifan, I have reported Ye Wu'er's situation to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is very much in favor of your proposal."
"Judging according to Liuzhou Native not only preserves the face of Yingzhou People but also maintains the interests of the Empire. Your Majesty is quite satisfied."
"Yes, thanks to Lord Xie's cultivation!"
"Yifan, I called you here today because I have a personal matter and would like to ask for your help."
"Please speak, sir. I would not hesitate even if it meant my death."
I quickly stood up to express my willingness, but I was wondering in my heart.
What could the head of the Southern River Military Affairs Office want to discuss with me personally?
"Yifan, don't be nervous."
Lord Lin smiled.
"I have a friend named Tang Chenshung, who is a businessman from Golden Lake."
"He has a son named Tang Jicheng, who was kidnapped a few days ago by Feng Qinian's disciple, Lu Yitau."
"Ah?"
I was taken aback for a moment, feeling somewhat surprised.
Feng Qinian is the local tyrant of Nanjiang, and his disciple Lu Yitau is even more notorious.
This person is guilty of all sorts of crimes, including murder, robbery, and the abduction of women. It can be said that he has a long list of offenses.
If Tang Chenshung's son has been taken by him, it is likely that he is in grave danger.
"Yifan, I don't want to publicly intervene in this matter, so I would like to ask you to go to Golden Lake and help rescue that child."
"My lord, this is a minor issue; there’s no need for me to take action. Just sending a few spies over would suffice."
"No."
Lord Lin shook his head.
"Feng Qinian's disciples cannot be easily provoked; otherwise, it will cause chaos."
"I hope that this time you can find evidence of Lu Yitau's crimes. Then we can justifiably take action against him."
"This..."
I hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.
"Yes, my lord!"
I understood Lord Lin's words clearly.
He was not in a position to intervene publicly, lest he give others something to talk about.
After all, Feng Qinian's disciples were all from the martial world, unlike spies.
Martial affairs should be handled within the martial world. If government power were involved, it would lead to gossip.
Especially now, with Xiazhu and Yingzhou in their honeymoon period, any slight disturbance could cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Lord Lin needed me to find evidence rather than act directly.
Once there was evidence, he could take down Lu Yitau without causing any controversy in the martial world.
"Yifan, do you have confidence?"
"My lord, I will do my best!"
"Good!"
Lord Lin nodded.
"Go to the Department of General Affairs to collect funds, and then head to the Divine Mechanism Camp to gather firearms. I'll also provide you with a carriage!"
"Thank you, Lord Xie!"
I stood up and took my leave.
Lord Lin's promotion of me beyond my authority and providing a carriage was a great favor.
However, I did not pay much attention to it.
My mind was entirely focused on how to rescue Tang Chenshung's son.
After leaving the Assembly Hall, I first went to the Department of General Affairs to collect my travel expenses.
Then, I went to the Divine Mechanism Camp to pick up my firearms.
Lord Lin has been generous to me, providing me with the latest firearms and a large amount of ammunition.
In addition, he also arranged a carriage for me, along with a driver.
Such an arrangement can be considered quite extravagant.
Once everything was ready, I did not delay and set off directly with my subordinates.
This time going to Golden Lake, I did not bring Li Dangshi.
After all, he was sent by the Xiazhu Military Council Dark Investigation Division, and it would be difficult to explain if Lord Lin asked about him.
However, during our drinking session last night, Mou Xiaoning had already informed me that there was a spy named Liu Liu on the Golden Lake side who would be there to assist me.
With Liu Liu around, there shouldn't be any major issues.
As for the rescue plan, I could only gradually complete it on the way.
