Chapter 28: Who is the person behind the scenes in Datong Prefecture?
These words of the King of Wu.
Fan Pingchuan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The King of Wu was willing to cooperate.
This is undoubtedly good news for them.
after all.
This Xingqing Prefecture is the territory of King Wu. If King Wu can help us.
They will also have a better chance of solving the case.
"You two adults are too polite."
Upon seeing this, King Wu said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I am really a little worried right now. After all, what was robbed was the relief grain that the court transported to Xingqing Prefecture."
"As long as the relief grain is not found, the people of Xingqing Prefecture will go hungry for one more day, and the number of mobs will increase." The King of Wu said, and then sighed again.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not so bad now. I have people set up porridge stalls to provide porridge to the victims in various places, but the food and grass in my hands are limited after all."
"In Xingqing Prefecture, there are still more than 200,000 soldiers to support. They won't be able to hold out for a few more days."
Upon hearing this, the three of them nodded solemnly.
It has been a long time since the King of Wu set up porridge stalls and distributed porridge to various places in Xingqing Prefecture.
at this point.
They still know.
It was precisely because of King Wu's action that the mob in Xingqing Prefecture was suppressed.
Once the food and fodder are exhausted, the porridge shed will be difficult to maintain.
The people were in utter despair.
Xingqing Prefecture will surely be the breeding ground for disaster.
"In that case, I will not say anything else."
Fan Pingchuan took a deep breath and frowned.
He looked at King Wu and asked, "I wonder how much do you know about the robbery of the relief grain, Your Majesty? Do you have any clues?"
King Wu shook his head upon hearing this.
Under Fan Pingchuan's disappointed look.
He said helplessly: "Regarding the matter of the disaster relief grain being robbed, this king has no clues. After receiving the news, this king immediately sent people to investigate and track it down."
"Unfortunately."
"The person who did it was extremely cautious and had planned it in advance. Many traces were covered up, making it difficult to track down."
"but."
When the King of Wu said this, he suddenly frowned.
There was a hint of hesitation in his expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
See this.
The three of them were startled.
Wei Nan, who was impatient, became anxious when he saw King Wu hesitate. He stared at King Wu and said, "But what? Your Majesty, please tell me."
"It's not a big deal."
After hearing this, the King of Wu hesitated for a while.
Then he slowly said, "It was just yesterday that one of my men came to report that the night before, someone saw a team of carriages and horses, pulling goods covered with black cloth, heading towards Datong Prefecture under the cover of night."
"Datong Prefecture?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three people in the hall changed at the same time.
I immediately thought of one person: the King of Qin.
"hiss"
Think of that one.
Fan Pingchuan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock, and looked at King Wu in disbelief.
Framing someone to blame?
Or was this really done by the King of Qin?
As the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, it was impossible for Fan Pingchuan to believe the one-sided statement of the King of Wu.
Furthermore.
The King of Wu and the King of Qin never got along.
There were grudges in the early years.
Although they did not become enemies, they still spoke coldly to each other.
At this critical juncture, it was hard for the King of Wu not to be suspicious when he heard this.
Could it be that the King of Wu is framing me?
"If the three adults don't have any clues, you might as well try to start from here. Who knows, there may be some surprises." Seeing that the three people had different expressions, they all showed a hint of shock.
King Wu added: "However, my men said that the goods were transported to Datong Prefecture, but I don't know whether they actually entered Datong Prefecture."
"Thank you for telling me, Your Majesty."
The moment King Wu finished speaking, Fan Pingchuan came back to his senses from his shock.
Next.
Fan Pingchuan and the other two asked the King of Wu about many matters and learned a lot of information.
On the other hand, Li Changqing, the pacification envoy of the Jinyiwei.
Because the King of Wu didn't like him, he didn't ask anything, and he felt uncomfortable. An hour later.
The three of them then left the Prince of Wu's Palace.
outside the house.
The three of them walked away side by side.
Fan Pingchuan frowned and whispered to Li Changqing, "Is anyone following?"
"No."
Li Changqing shook his head imperceptibly.
Upon hearing this, Fan Pingchuan paused.
He looked at Li Changqing and asked, "What do you think of what the King of Wu said earlier, Lord Li?"
“It’s hard to believe, but we can’t disbelieve it either.”
Li Changqing said in a deep voice: "Even if we guess it's fake, we still have to follow the clues provided by King Wu to investigate, otherwise this case will be even more difficult to investigate."
"This is the only way." Fan Pingchuan sighed.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
The King of Wu wanted to use them to embarrass the King of Qin, so they had no choice but to do so.
"Next."
"I would like to ask both of you to check and inquire in every village near the place where the incident occurred."
Li Changqing nodded.
He said solemnly: "The Jinyiwei are responsible for investigating the nearby bandits and refugees. As for Datong Prefecture, they can be handed over to the Jinyiwei for handling."
"it is good."
Fan Pingchuan nodded.
He also bowed to Li Changqing and said, "Thank you, Lord Li."
The King of Qin’s anger.
The Censorate couldn't bear it anymore.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best choice to let the Jinyiwei investigate this matter.
Now Li Changqing has brought it up himself.
This made the two of them feel relieved.
"Your Excellencies."
"Let's say goodbye for today. If you find anything, you can contact me through the Jinyiwei base in the south of the city." After Li Changqing finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for the two to speak.
After it walked away.
Fan Pingchuan frowned again.
He said in a deep voice: "Zi Qi, do you think the one who snatched the relief grain was the King of Wu?"
Wei Nan was stunned when he heard this.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a heavy tone, "It is not impossible, and there may be some unknown relationship between this pacification envoy and the King of Wu."
"Ugh"
Fan Pingchuan sighed again.
He said with a worried look on his face: "This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and I to return alive."
Wei Nan didn't say anything.
However, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes as he looked at Fan Pingchuan's back.
______
The next day.
The news that seven hundred warriors left the northern border.
It has spread throughout the Dawu Dynasty.
After hearing the news, many princes' faces changed drastically and they were shocked.
Everyone started speculating.
What exactly does the one from the North mean?
But the most shocking thing.
He is also the King of Jin in Lingnan.
After hearing the news, the King of Jin was unable to eat or sleep.
Without too much hesitation.
The King of Jin put aside all his plans and decided to wait and see for a few days before considering rebellion.
Simultaneously.
Chang'an, Imperial Palace.
Tianluan Palace.
After hearing the news, the empress was also shocked, her red lips slightly opened.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses.
Apparently even she hadn't expected it.
With her imperial decree, the man in the northern border actually mobilized the most elite troops in the world.
