As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man
Chapter 45: Unknown Road Ahead
"General Xuanyuan, I need you to do something." Prince Mu's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the hall.
Xuanyuan Che lowered his head and responded respectfully, "I will do my best!" Prince Mu nodded slightly and continued, "Although Jiang Yue's unjust case has been cleared, she cared about the people during her lifetime, especially the suffering of the poor people in the suburbs. I want to allocate funds for disaster relief and improve people's livelihood to comfort Jiang Yue's spirit in heaven. This matter will be handed over to you to supervise personally, and you must ensure that the funds reach the hands of the people." Xuanyuan Che took the order and left, but an indescribable grief surged in his heart.
On the outskirts of the city, in front of Jiang Yue's grave, Ding Chen stood silently, holding a bouquet of fresh wild flowers in his hand.
He gently placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, his eyes slightly red.
"Jiang Yue, did you see that? Your grievances have finally been cleared. Don't worry, I will carry on with your kindness, live well, and protect this land you love so much for you." He swore silently.
At this time, Xuanyuan Che walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and gave him silent comfort.
Ding Chen and Xuanyuan Che, together with Censor Su and General Lin, formed a small team and began to improve the lives of the poor areas in the suburbs.
They visited the people in person to understand their actual needs and formulated a series of assistance measures.
During his lifetime, Jiang Yue treated many poor people and left behind many prescriptions and medical experiences.
Ding Chen and others compiled these and taught them to local doctors for free, hoping to help more people.
At first, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
The funds allocated by the court arrived and relief grain was distributed one after another.
The people saw hope and long-lost smiles appeared on their faces.
However, the good times did not last long.
The local bully Hu San colluded with officials and seized the relief supplies.
Not only did the people not gain any benefits, their lives became even more difficult.
That day, Ding Chen and others came to the outskirts of the city again, but saw a desolate scene.
The fields that should have been thriving are now overgrown with weeds.
The people were pale and thin, dressed in tattered clothes, and their eyes were full of despair.
"What's going on? Where's the money allocated by the court? Where's the relief food?" Ding Chen was furious. He grabbed a villager and asked sternly.
The villagers trembled and dared not speak, but just pointed at Hu San's mansion in the distance.
Ding Chen looked in the direction the villager pointed, and saw the high walls of Hu San's mansion, with a constant stream of traffic in front of the gate, a prosperous scene.
A surge of anger burned in Ding Chen's chest. He waved his hand fiercely, "Let's go to Hu San's house!" The air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to explode...
Ding Chen and others angrily came to the residence of the local official, but were turned away.
After many twists and turns, the officials reluctantly met with them.
Ding Chen went straight to the point and questioned the officials why the relief supplies were not distributed to the people.
The official pretended to be surprised and denied it, saying that he was not aware of it. He also hinted to Ding Chen and others not to meddle in other people's affairs and be careful not to get into trouble.
Ding Chen has always hated evil and could not tolerate such corrupt officials. He immediately slammed the table and had a fierce argument with the officials.
Xuanyuan Che has always been calm. He stopped Ding Chen's impulse and calmly analyzed the current situation.
He believes that a head-on confrontation will only alert the enemy, and that solid evidence must be found to bring these corrupt officials to justice.
Censor Su was meticulous and conducted a secret investigation, and finally found evidence of collusion between officials and Hu San.
He presented the evidence to Prince Mu, who was furious and immediately ordered the officials to be dismissed and investigated. He also sent troops to search the officials' residences and recover the embezzled relief supplies.
When the people heard the news, they cheered and ran around to tell each other.
Hu San was panicked when he learned that the official had been arrested.
He knew very well that he was guilty of a serious crime and that if he was caught by the government, he would be brought to justice.
He was unwilling to give up and paced back and forth in the mansion with a terribly gloomy face.
"Damn it! These nosy guys are ruining my business!" he said gritting his teeth.
Late at night, a dark shadow sneaked into Hu San's mansion.
The black shadow whispered a few words in Hu San's ear, and a sinister smile appeared on Hu San's face.
"Okay! I'll do as you say!" He smiled coldly, a vicious glint in his eyes...
"Remember, to cut the grass, you must remove the root..."
Inside Hu San's residence, the lights were bright, but they couldn't conceal the panic in the air.
He paced back and forth, his fat body trembling, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from his forehead.
"Damn it! These dog officials actually dared to search my mansion!" He roared and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, with fragments flying everywhere.
"Master, what should we do now?" A thin figure emerged from the shadows. It was Hu San's butler.
Hu San smiled sinisterly, "What should we do? Of course, we must eradicate them completely! Go, find me a group of the most powerful assassins. I want to make sure they die without a burial place!"
As night falls, the suburban streets are silent.
Ding Chen and others finished their day's work and were preparing to return to the city.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and several black shadows rushed out from the darkness, holding sharp blades, and rushed straight towards Ding Chen and others.
"Be careful!" Xuanyuan Che shouted and drew his sword to meet the enemy.
Ding Chen and others also drew their weapons and engaged in fierce battles with the killers.
The flash of swords and shadows, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Xuanyuan Che is a martial arts expert with sharp swordsmanship, and the assassins are no match for him.
Although Ding Chen and others were not as good as Xuanyuan Che in martial arts, they were all well-trained and cooperated well, and they barely resisted the killer's attack.
The battle was extremely fierce, the killers' moves were deadly, and Ding Chen and others were in danger.
After several rounds, Ding Chen had a deep wound on his arm and blood was flowing.
Just then, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
The Imperial Guards arrived under the leadership of Xuanyuan Che and quickly joined the battle.
The killers were outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand.
Just as the battle was about to end, a mysterious black shadow suddenly appeared.
He moved with ghostly agility and speed, and knocked down all the remaining killers with just a few flashes.
Then, he disappeared into the night without looking back, leaving only a dark silhouette.
Ding Chen and others stood there in a daze, looking at the direction where the mysterious black shadow disappeared, their hearts full of confusion.
Who is this person?
Why help them?
"This person... is so strong..." Ding Chen muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
Xuanyuan Che frowned, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He bent down and picked up a peculiarly shaped dart from the ground. It was cold to the touch and had a special feel.
"This dart... I've never seen it before..."
