Fletcher's Descent into the Abyss Chapter 227

"When the people we sent to welcome them arrived at the border of Chazhou, the carriages from Hezhou had already arrived. They were chased by the Hezhou government and did not dare to stop on the way. The carriage overturned on the old horse road outside Chazhou City and fell into the ditch," the Jinyiwei hesitated a little and continued, "It was smashed to pieces... No one survived."

The guards in the courtyard were silent, and only the sound of running water could be heard. The bamboo tube hit the rock, and the newly replaced pool water washed the stone surface, washing away the remaining moss and turning it black.

Fei Sheng's heart sank and he immediately looked at Fletcher Shen.

Fletcher Shen looked calm. He stood under the eaves for a moment and said, "Why is the Hezhou Yamen chasing the carriage?"

"When they passed the checkpoint, they revealed their whereabouts and lied that they were Yan's relatives," Jinyiwei said, "but they didn't expect that in recent days, the capital city issued a new decree that the entire Hezhou was looking for Yan Heru. When the government heard that they were Yan's relatives, they thought they were fleeing for fear of punishment."
