After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm
Chapter 884 I suspect something has happened to Mr. Xiao
After drinking the soups and drinks sent by Concubine Chun for half a month, Emperor Suwen finally received the news sent by Xiao Hengshan.
What was surprising was that after entering the territory of Yuzhou Prefecture, all Xiao Hengshan saw were government officials and local wealthy people distributing porridge.
The people affected by the disaster were all skinny, but as they drank porridge and ate coarse grain buns, they all praised the officials.
If it weren't for the mercy of the officials who encouraged other dignitaries to distribute porridge, they would have starved to death long ago.
This is completely different from the news that the Huo family sent to the court.
If this is true, then the Huo family is lying.
What does the Huo family want to do?
Emperor Suwen immediately summoned General Huo Chengfeng into the palace and asked him again about the affairs of Yuzhou Prefecture.
Huo Chengfeng did not lie, but he was stunned when he saw the secret letter sent back by Xiao Hengshan. However, he was not panicked at all, and said with a cupped hand: "Your Majesty, is this a handwritten letter from Lord Xiao?"
Emperor Suwen raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What do you mean by that?"
The letter had already stated that Xiao Hengshan had fallen off his horse on the road and injured his right arm, and that his long-servant had brought the pen. At the end of the letter, there was also his personal seal, which could not be forged.
Huo Chengfeng said: "I suspect that something has happened to Lord Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Suwen was immediately enraged and shouted, "Huo Chengfeng, why do you think so?"
"What a coincidence."
Huo Chengfeng knelt on the ground and explained the reason: "It has not rained in Yuzhou Prefecture for nearly a year. Everything is dry and cracked. The road is not slippery and there is no danger of falling rocks. Why did he fall off his horse?"
It's hard not to be suspicious about this.
Emperor Suwen also felt it was strange at first, but when the secret letter was sent back through the post stations of Yuzhou Prefecture, he dispelled his doubts.
But now Huo Chengfeng...
"This matter was caused by you. I am sending you to set off immediately to Yuzhou Prefecture to meet up with Xiao Hengshan."
True or false, the disaster relief money from the imperial court has been transferred to Yuzhou Prefecture, and Huo Chengfeng has followed secretly. The truth will soon become clear.
"Your Majesty, do you not doubt me?"
Huo Chengfeng was a little surprised.
Emperor Su Wen said, "There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Is this true or not? Can you, Huo Chengfeng, cover the sky with one hand?"
Having said that, Emperor Su Wen actually believed in Huo Chengfeng's character and martial arts, which is why he let him go.
"Sir, obey the order."
After Huo Chengfeng left, Emperor Suwen immediately summoned Xu Xing into the palace.
If something really happened to Xiao Hengshan, it would mean that someone in Yuzhou Prefecture was so powerful that he could easily get away with it. Even Huo Chengfeng alone would be able to do it.
Therefore, if Xu Xing took another group of people out of the palace secretly and went to Yuzhou Prefecture as the second imperial envoy, he could catch everyone off guard.
The year before last, Xu Xing went to Qingchuan County, Yuzhou Prefecture to handle the mining and silver case, and he did an excellent job. He never failed in any task he was assigned to do, so he was the best candidate.
Xu Xing was also tired, as he was constantly on business trips, and all of his work was on major cases. But from another perspective, Emperor Suwen trusted him and did not let the matter of Concubine Shu affect the Xu family.
"This time, you should bring more people with you. Make sure you come back safe and sound without any mistakes."
"The minister obeys the order."
After receiving the order, Xu Xing left the palace. After seeing the old lady, he went to see Jiang Hao to explain the situation.
"The situation in Yuzhou Prefecture is probably very serious."
"Be careful."
Jiang Hao went back to the house and took out a bundle and handed it to him: "These are all the various pills I developed, all labeled with their names and uses. I hope you don't need them."
