Capítulo 70: Chapter 070
"How did they find out?"
The patrol team members angrily said, "It must be Yu Da who leaked the information!"
The Yu family couldn't enter the salt field or the military camp. Only their family has the leisure for such activities, and only they go hunting in the south. If it's not them leaking the information, then who could it be?"Yu Su calmly said, 'Bring them in for questioning.'
The patrol team, already frustrated, immediately went to fetch Yu Da.
Seeing Yu Su, Yu Da became fearful. 'What... what do you want?'
Since the establishment of the military camp, Yu Da lived in constant anxiety, especially after witnessing the daily training of the soldiers. In his nightmares, Yu Su would order the village soldiers to capture and dismantle him.
Now that nightmare seemed to become a reality as he was brought in. How could he not be afraid?
"Brazen! How dare you speak to Yu Su like that! I ask you, did you leak information about the salt field?" The one bringing him in was Captain Yu Hai of the sixth team. They were patrolling today and noticed intentional disturbances from the southern villages.
Yu Da's face changed, and he evaded eye contact. "I didn't!"
Seeing this, Yu Su understood. He ordered someone to bring the village chief.
The village chief arrived quickly, angry upon learning that Yu Da intentionally leaked information about the salt field to the southern villages. "Yu Da, you! Have you lost your mind? Why would you tell others about the salt field?"
Yu Da, his neck stiffened, shouted, "Why are you accusing me without evidence? I didn't say anything!"
Yu Hai snorted, "Someone saw you lingering in the southern woods these past few days. That's the territory of Da Shu Village, not yours. Who else could leak the information but you?"
Yu Da's expression changed, and he avoided eye contact. "I just went there to hunt. Just because I went there doesn't mean I leaked anything."
Yu Hai retorted, "It's you. In these days, apart from your family, no one went to the southern woods."
Yu Da continued to argue, frustrating Yu Hai's team because without evidence, they couldn't do much.
Yu Su calmly said, "Detain the three of them separately."
"Why do you have the right to detain us? This is a personal vendetta!" Yu Da protested.
Yu Hai covered his mouth and dragged him up. "Shut up!"
Yu Da's family was quickly detained. After starving them for two days, Yu Su instructed Yu Hai's team to interrogate them, setting a trap to catch their words.
Not long after, Yu Hai reported angrily, "Yu Da confessed. It was him!"
After two days of hunger and fear, Yu Da couldn't withstand the pressure. Initially, he didn't intend to intentionally wander into the southern woods. He just didn't want to enter the territory of Lu Shen Mountain to avoid awkward encounters with others, but unexpectedly encountered people from Da Shu Village.
Da Shu Village residents, seeing him trespassing into their territory, wanted to attack him. In self-defense, he disclosed information about the salt field.
"I really didn't mean to. They threatened me," Yu Da pleaded in fear. "Village chief, please save me. I didn't mean to do it!"
The village chief sighed deeply. He knew Yu Su had long run out of patience with Yu Da's family. If not for saving face, Yu Da's family might not have survived.
But Yu Da was troublesome and chose to stir up trouble.
The salt field involved the entire village's interests, and the chief didn't want to tolerate it any longer. Even if Yu Su wasn't dissatisfied, other villagers would be.
The chief decided to cut off one of Yu Da's hands and throw him into the deep mountains, letting him perish on his own.
Hearing this judgment, Ya Shan Shi cried loudly, claiming that the chief was forcing them to die. If the chief drove away Yu Da, she would kill herself.
The chief's gaze turned cold. "Then go ahead and kill yourself. Let's see who dares to stop you."
Ya Shan Shi's cries stopped when she realized that no one would interfere. She wasn't truly seeking death but only wanted the chief to let Yu Da go.
"If you don't want Yu Da to lose a hand, your family should leave Yu Village along with him," Yu Su said.
Ya Shan Shi hesitated. Yu Village's days were getting better. Even if they couldn't eat meat, they could still enjoy the soup. But if they left Yu Village...
"We're leaving!" Yu Xiong rushed out. He couldn't endure staying in Yu Village anymore. With Yu Su around, he would never have a chance to stand out.
"Fine, pack up now and leave Yu Village," Yu Su said.
The villagers watched them leave, spitting disdainfully.
Lu Yan stood beside Yu Su, not entirely agreeing with letting them go. People like Yu Da might cause trouble if they were set free.
Yu Su smiled. "Let them go; they won't survive on their own."
He summoned two snow wolves, gently scratching their chins and instructing them to follow Yu Da's family.
The two snow wolves were smart, quietly leaving the village and following Yu Da's family.
Soon, Yu Su learned that Yu Da's family went to Da Shu Village in the south.
Yu Su said to Lu Yan, "You see, they are seeking their own demise."
Knowing that Yu Village had a salt field, Da Shu Village had been harassing them in the south. Yu Su estimated that they would soon risk their lives to come and rob the salt field.
Lu Yan said, "Understood. I'll go get them ready."
Yu Su nodded. "This is the first battle after the establishment of the military camp. We need to win it convincingly."
