Chapter 1251: Three Urgent Reports
Yin Zhen scooped up the soup and said: "Concubine Xi also asked about this two days ago, and I plan to summon them back to Beijing tomorrow, and this time the two of them finally lived up to my expectations and pacified the disaster in Fuzhou." But...... The sinking of the grain ship has not yet been found. ”
Seeing Yinzhen frowning, Yunxiang comforted: "The incident happened at sea, no one saw it, and all the people who went with the boat fell into the sea, and none of them were spared, so it was naturally extremely difficult to investigate, and I couldn't hurry." ”
Yin Zhen shook his head and said nothing, halfway through the meal, there was a sudden urgent knock on the door outside, Sixi hurriedly walked over, half-opened the door and reprimanded the little eunuch who knocked on the door: "The emperor and Prince Yi are having dinner, what is there to do later." ”
The little eunuch handed over the things he was holding in his hand, and said eagerly: "Hello father-in-law, it's too late, it's an urgent report from Fuzhou, and it was sent in with a secret box." ”
Hearing the word "secret box", Sixi's expression suddenly became solemn, this kind of secret box cannot be used unless it is urgent, once it is used, with the imperial seal above, it can be directly reached to heaven; The most important thing is that there is only one kind of person who has this kind of secret box in his hands, and that is the secret agent who directly obeys the emperor's orders.
Thinking of this, Sixi didn't dare to slack off, took the secret box and came to Yinzhen, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the secret box from Fuzhou." ”
Sixi's words also made Yinzhen's eyes streak, he sent a secret agent to follow Hongli and them to Fuzhou, and now something must have happened, so he will use the secret box, but the matter in Fuzhou is almost over, what else can happen?
Thinking like this, Yinzhen put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, took the secret box and tore open the imperial seal on it, took out a book of folds and looked at it carefully, only swept a few lines, and his face quickly became difficult to see, after reading them all, his face was no longer ugly to describe, Yunxiang found that Yinzhen's hands were trembling slightly, just when he wanted to ask, there was a knock on the door again, Sixi hurriedly went over, and when he came back, there was another fold in his hand, and his voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty, The urgent secret report sent in by the Fengtai battalion is related to Fuzhou. ”
Before he finished speaking, the fold in his hand was snatched by Yinzhen, and the knock sounded again, this time without waiting for Sixi to answer the door, Yinzhen had already said: "Come in!" ”
A little eunuch came in with a fold in his hand and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the urgent report sent by the prefect of Fuzhou for eight hundred miles." ”
Sixi was about to get it, when a figure flashed around him, and when he could see it clearly, the fold in the little eunuch's hand had already reached Yinzhen's hand. He has been with Yinzhen for many years, and it is the first time he has seen Yinzhen so out of shape, even if he was violated by Zhun Geer before, he had never been like this when he was attacked by the enemy in the abdomen and back, what was written on the fold, why did he write three letters in a row, and it was obvious that they were all about Fuzhou.
The first, in a secret box, was undoubtedly sent by spies who were accustomed to hiding in the shadows; The second Fengtai camp...... He remembered that before the two elder brothers left for Fuzhou, the emperor asked Prince Yi to send 4,000 people from the Fengtai camp to secretly protect them; As for the third letter, local officials, if it is not a major military matter, they are not allowed to use 800 li to expedit, at most they can only use 400 li to expedit, and it is impossible for the Fuzhou prefect not to know the way, but he still chose 800 li to expedit, and the matter must be extraordinary.
When Sixi was still speculating there, Yunxiang had already asked: "Your Majesty, what happened, why did Fuzhou send three urgent reports in a row?" "What Sixi can think of, Yunxiang can't think of it, not to mention that Yinzhen's expression is so abnormal.
Yin Zhen didn't speak, but handed the three folds in his hand to Yun Xiang and asked him to read them for himself.
As soon as he opened the first fold, Yunxiang's face immediately changed, and when he read all three books, it was already extremely ugly, he and Yinzhen were still talking about when to summon Hongshi and Hongli brothers back to Beijing, and this kind of thing happened in a blink of an eye, which is really unbelievable.
The first fold was sent by the secret agent, they were ordered by Yinzhen, secretly kept the two brothers of Hongli, so when they went to Lianjiang County, they also followed all the way, but when they were preparing to cross the bridge, the bridge suddenly broke, and they had no choice but to bypass the mountain road. When they entered Lianjiang County, they found that there was no one there, no living people, no corpses, only fresh blood stains found on a certain street, and they searched the entire Lianjiang County, but they found no one.
The second letter is also similar to the content, the third letter is much more auspicious, Fuzhou prefect Lin Xueli said in the fold, he followed the Hongshi brothers into Lianjiang County, just arrived, he was attacked by the villagers who looked like crazy, the sergeant who protected them attacked, and even someone bit the throat of the sergeant, the scene was extremely bloody and miserable. At first, Hongli killed more than a dozen people with the bow and arrow in his hand, but he had the upper hand for a while, but after the arrows ran out, he fell into passivity.
He is a powerless civil official, he can only watch the sergeants fall one by one, Zhaohui and Ah Gui want to protect the fourth elder brother and go first, but the fourth elder brother insists on taking the second elder brother with him, but he can't escape. Subsequently, the fourth elder brother also went up to fight with those villagers, and because he couldn't help, and the second elder brother asked him to find a way to find reinforcements, he took advantage of the melee to escape from Lu, and fled all the way back to Fuzhou Mansion, and when he brought all the remaining sergeants and soldiers, and when thousands of people came to Lianjiang County, it was empty, and there was not even a single corpse left. According to his guess, those people in Lianjiang County have become wild people who drink blood, and they are likely to bring people or corpses back as food. But the strangest thing is that all of those people have disappeared, and they have been searched from house to house, and no one can be found, as if they have evaporated out of thin air.
Lin Xueli cared most about the two elder brothers, Hongshi and Hongli, after he couldn't find anyone in Lianjiang County, he sent people to find several nearby counties, but unfortunately they found nothing.
Just when Lin Xueli had a headache about this, someone reported that he saw a seriously injured person at the foot of the mountain behind Lianjiang County, Lin Xueli hurriedly ran over to take a look, and found that this person turned out to be Hongshi, and hurriedly ordered someone to rescue him to the government office, and invited the accompanying imperial doctor to treat him.
Although Hiroshi's injuries looked serious, fortunately they were all skin injuries, and they didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and after recuperating for a while, he woke up, and as soon as he woke up, he immediately asked about Hiroshi's whereabouts. After Lin Xueli said that he only saw him, he insisted that he was going to find Hongli, so he persuaded him for a long time, and said that he had sent many people to find Hongli before he gave up this idea.
