He immediately called for the steward and sent him with a group to investigate near the inn.
When the steward returned, he brought two carriages. When Magistrate Wu saw the bodies, he almost fainted.
They were all dead. He had invested so much in cultivating these elite soldiers, but they were all gone overnight. This was his reliance, and now it was all lost.
Distressed, he quickly instructed the steward to take the men out of the city and bury them secretly.
Sitting in the study with swollen eyes, he lost all mood. He sat down, stood up, stood up, and sat down again. Finally, he ran to the bookshelf, twisted a bottle, and a secret compartment appeared on the wall.
He pulled out a large box from inside, filled with silver notes, each worth ten thousand taels.
You could see how much wealth he had accumulated during these years in Liangzhou.
