After all, Father Zheng was an old man. After hearing what Qin Shan said, he felt it made sense, so he suppressed Zheng Hongdao.

"General Qin, I understand King Yi's difficulties! Let's go out and take shelter as you said, General Qin, so that King Yi can have time to investigate thoroughly!"

"These cancers should be wiped out, otherwise our country in Western Qin will be in danger! General Qin, we will cooperate with you to contact those merchants and collect evidence of Yang Zhifu's crimes!"

Qin Shan nodded happily: "Dad Zheng, that's it! During this period, you should pay attention to the movements of Weizhou. If you know that King Yi has captured Weizhou, you can bring your people back!"

"You must pay attention to safety!"

After explaining, Qin Shan got off the carriage and was about to return to the teahouse when he saw chaos on the other side of the street.

A group of officers and soldiers came over, and the leader shouted as they walked.

"From today on, Weizhou will be under martial law. Entrance and exit gates must be checked. Anyone without a road will be regarded as an enemy spy and will be killed without mercy!"

Qin Shan was startled, why was the interrogation so strict?

Could it be that King Yi was preparing to take action?

No, he hasn't found the sixth princess yet, he must find the sixth princess as soon as possible.

Qin Shan quickly walked back to the teahouse and found He Bo. The two of them inquired about the location of the government office and hurried to the government office.

When we went far away, we saw many officers and soldiers stationed near the government office, which was obviously heavily guarded.

Is this to prevent the Sixth Princess from leaving?

Qin Shan took He Bo and walked around the government compound from a distance. There were officers and soldiers guarding the front and back gates of the compound, and the defense was as tight as an iron barrel.

The wall was so high that Qin Shan could not see what was going on inside.

He was so anxious that he saw a teahouse in the distance, so he took He Bo to the teahouse again to find out the news.

"What happened to Magistrate Yang today? As if facing a formidable enemy, the number of guards in the government office has doubled!"

As soon as he went upstairs, Qin Shan heard the guests talking among themselves.

"I heard that the Sixth Princess lives in the government office. Magistrate Yang is afraid that someone will assassinate the Sixth Princess, so he is on tight guard!" said an insider.

"But why did I hear that a death row prisoner escaped from the prison last night? Magistrate Yang was afraid that he would retaliate against him, so he imposed martial law!"

"The prison is so tightly guarded, how could a death row inmate escape?" someone said disapprovingly.

A customer who knew the inside story laughed and said: "You really think the prison is very tightly guarded! That's because you don't understand!"

"Now that the plague is spreading, prisoners on death row are infected and die of the plague every day. Those guards are afraid of being infected, so who is still doing their duty and patrolling every day as before?"

"If you are negligent, someone will take advantage of the loophole and run away!"

"Then this death row prisoner must be very capable, otherwise why would Governor Yang be so afraid of his revenge? And he would use so many officers and soldiers!"

"I heard..."

The guest who had previously known the inside story lowered his voice and said: "This death row prisoner is a general. He was arrested and put on death row two months ago. I don't know what he committed, and he didn't do anything even after being tortured!"

"After tormenting him like this for two months, he was completely beaten. Maybe he took this opportunity to escape!"

When Qin Shan heard this, his heart was lifted.

Who could be the general who could be tortured so severely by Magistrate Yang?

No matter who he is, he is an official of the imperial court. If Prefect Yang dares to imprison him like this, is that a death penalty?

Could it be that this general knew something, so Governor Yang desperately wanted to pry the answer out of him?

The more Qin Shan thought about it, the more frightened he became. Suddenly, Ling Yu's words flashed through his mind.

"My brother is working under General Gu. My grandfather has not heard from him for several months. Please help me find out if he had any accident!"
