In the camp.
After cleaning himself up, the Prefect finally looked presentable. Arriving at the main tent, he couldn't stop wiping away tears, "General, I owe my life to Miss Chu. Otherwise, I would have been locked up until death."
Tang Jinghong focused on the matter at hand, "Why did they kidnap you? And why imprison you?"
Sniffling, the Prefect recounted, "I was abducted a year ago. My wife and daughter went on an outing, and I, caught up in official duties, didn't accompany them. In the afternoon, I was informed of an 'accident' involving them and rushed to the scene without suspicion, only to be ambushed by bandits."
"That's how I was captured and subsequently imprisoned."
"General, could you send someone to the Linzhang City yamen to check on my wife and daughter? It's been over a year since I've seen them."
Tang Jinghong signaled to Meng Shengdong, "Go check."
Meng Shengdong saluted, "Yes, General."
