In the middle of the night, Xiao Yuan sent people to every prefecture to call for others. As soon as these men heard, they knew it was urgent, so they hastily climbed out of their warm beds and rushed over.
The temperature was low at night, and the cold wind hit the body, it was really cold. Added to that, it had drizzled just as night fell, making it even colder now.
When those people arrived at the Xiao Mansion and entered the house, they were shivering from the cold.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling's homes were nearby, so they were the first to arrive.
Following them were Yuan Wei and Dong Da. Mr. Song lived a bit farther, and being somewhat frail, he was the last to arrive.
Once everyone was present, Xiao Yuan said, "I just received word that our salt convoy heading to Yuexuan Prefecture was robbed."
Xiao Jin immediately stood up: "Where was it robbed?"
Xiao Yuan looked at Dong Da, who quickly stood up and said, "It was robbed in Yuexuan Prefecture."
