Chapter 477: Caravan in Distress

"Something happened in the shop?" Although Jiang Zhan was also very happy to see her, but in front of people, he never showed it easily.

"Our caravan is in trouble, and we have lost some of our goods, and we are now trying to find a way to make up for it." Speaking of this, Xue Yao's eyebrows were full of sorrow.

That batch of goods was not easy to prepare, although most of them were exchanged in the system, but if she took it out of thin air, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

She couldn't do that anyway, so she was a little irritable.

However, now after seeing Jiang Zhan, she is only happy in her heart, after all, the loss of goods is a big deal to lose some silver, as long as the people she cares about are safe, she doesn't care about anything.

"I met Miss Zheng on the way back, and she was busy with business at the time, is there any relationship between the two?" Jiang Zhan suddenly remembered this matter.

"Miss Zheng hasn't mentioned it to me, I don't know anything about the Zheng family, but judging by her, it should be that the business is in trouble." Xue Yao frowned.

She also felt that the two things were too coincidental, but now that Zheng Yuer had gone to other places, it was not easy for them to ask Zheng Yufeng.

Although the two have a cooperative relationship, they are almost never involved in their own business problems.

After all, everyone has their own knack for business, so they have always guarded that line and never crossed it.

"Yao'er, why don't we first check how the goods of our caravan were damaged, and whether there is someone behind the trouble, and then decide how to deal with it." Jiang Zhan also heard it half-understood just now.

"I have sent someone to investigate, but I have not received a response, only received news that our caravan has been blocked and the goods have suffered great losses." In fact, Xue Yao is still in the clouds now.

However, the goods she promised to send over have not arrived for a long time, and the other party has already sent a message urging them.

Xue Yao had no choice, so he thought about raising the goods first, and if he didn't get the news directly, he would prepare a new batch of goods to send over.

Now that Jiang Zhan is back, there are more people she can use.

He was not in the capital before, Xue Yao was unsettled, and he encountered these troubles again, although he asked Jiang Zhan's subordinates to help investigate, but there were still omissions.

After several days of investigation, Xue Yao and his wife finally found some clues.

It turned out that the reason why their caravan encountered obstacles was because it had something to do with the Western Regions.

Jiang Zhan's people found that all the caravans that had dealings with the Western Regions had suffered losses to a greater or lesser extent.

Obviously, this incident is probably not an accident.

"If it was just a few caravans that encountered an accident, it would indeed be a natural and man-made disaster, but now it seems that this matter is man-made." Xue Yao's eyes were full of coldness.

"Now we have no evidence in our hands, so we can only continue to investigate." Jiang Zhan also felt that the matter was related to the people of the Western Regions, otherwise how could other caravans not encounter such trouble.

"If I find evidence, I'll pay it back!" Xue Yao has always been a person who retaliates with a tooth for a tooth.

If they provoke first, no matter what the result is, Xue Yao will find a way to make the other party suffer the same loss.

Jiang Zhan was keenly aware of the mystery behind this matter.

The Western Regions and them have always gotten along well, and the two countries have always had business contacts.

They needed silk, tea, and other items from the Great Xuan Dynasty, and most of the gems and other items in the Western Regions came from the Western Regions.

Now that so many caravans and goods are gone, this matter is probably debatable.

So, Jiang Zhan went to the emperor for this matter.

If things are really as he guessed, it won't be long before Daxuan is afraid that there will be waves again.

"Why did you suddenly ask about the relationship between the Great Xuan Dynasty and the Western Regions?" The emperor felt that his question was a little strange.

"Recently, many caravans, not long after leaving the Western Regions, have been robbed, and many caravans have lost both people and money, and Weichen feels that there are not so many coincidences." Jiang Zhan never beat around the bush with him.

"Diplomatic relations between our DPRK and the Western Regions have always been normal, and there has been no news." The emperor was a little at a loss about this.

If there is really a problem at the border, the generals guarding the city are afraid that they will be sent to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

However, the correspondence between the two dynasties has been normal so far.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has always felt that this matter is the hand of the people of the Western Regions!" Jiang Zhan's eyes darkened.

Although there was no news from the junction of the two dynasties, he still believed that the matter should be investigated.

If there is really a problem, it will be beneficial to the people and the court to deal with it in a timely manner, after all, it is the greatest blessing to be able to use force without force.

"If you have any ideas, just say it!" The emperor thought about it carefully and felt that his suggestion was good.

No matter how to figure things out first, it can also make him prepared.

"Weichen thinks that His Majesty can use the name of suppressing bandits to check the origin of those people." If it is confirmed that they are really from the Western Regions, then the matter is a different matter.

"It's a good idea, but if I do this, will it attract the attention of the people of the Western Regions?" If they really have different intentions, they are afraid that such behavior will startle the snake.

The emperor wanted peace in the world, and he never thought of really clashing with the Western Regions.

Even if he is not afraid, if he really fights, he will only make many powerless people suffer in the end.

"Your Majesty's concerns are known, but we are acting in the name of suppressing bandits, and if they really block it, it means that this matter is indeed related to them." He had already thought about the next move.

Jiang Zhan didn't want to think about it so much now, as long as he could find out who was behind it, it would be the best way for them and the imperial court.

If you don't stop it, I'm afraid that after the other party succeeds repeatedly, it will become even more rampant.

This kind of person will not give up easily because of the compromise of others.

Only by using the fastest and most effective method can they block all the sources.

Otherwise, if the caravan continues to be attacked, it will one day cause panic.

"I'll send someone to check on it right away!" The emperor thought about it for a moment and felt that his proposal was very feasible.

He is not a monarch who is afraid of things, and if others really insult him, he will still give the other party a head-on blow.

He still doesn't care about the little Western Regions, after all, they are strong and strong, if they really dare to cross that boundary, he will definitely not be polite.

After Jiang Zhan returned, the emperor immediately arranged for some of his own people to go to the place where the caravan had an accident to investigate.

"Since the emperor promised to let people investigate, why are you still worried, is something else going on?" After Xue Yao saw that he came back, he was still worried about the affairs of the Western Regions, so he asked the maid to take the child out.

Recently, the little guy has become more and more energetic, and when he wakes up, he will subconsciously look for her, and most of Xue Yao's mind is occupied by the child.

Business matters are now taken care of.

It's a pity that the result is not satisfactory, just like the damage to the goods this time, in fact, they should have been able to respond faster, but the result was delayed, so that their goods and the people of the caravan were all gone.

So Xue Yao has been looking for a manager again recently, but there is no suitable person for a while.

"I don't think there will be much progress on the emperor's side!" Since there is no news from the border between the two countries, even if the emperor really lets people pass, there are only a few things that can be found, and even most of them cannot be used as evidence.

After all, the fact that they can continue to take away so many caravanserai means that they are hiding deep enough, and they plan carefully every time, and as long as they succeed, they will immediately sweep away all traces.

"No matter what the outcome, we've done our best!" After all, you can't hide from what should come.

"Hmm!" Jiang Zhan also knew that some things could not be disobeyed.

In the next few days, Jiang Zhan has been paying attention to the situation at the junction of the two dynasties, but unfortunately there is still no movement there.

However, the calmer some places are, the more dangerous they are......

"Ah Zhan, do you say that the emperor's order will be secretly suppressed, otherwise why has there been no movement for a long time?" Xue Yao felt strange.

"I think so too, but I heard the emperor say that all the people he sent over are his own subordinates, and it stands to reason that such a situation cannot happen!" Jiang Zhan absolutely believed in the emperor's henchmen.

"Your Majesty's people are not familiar with the situation over there, and judging by their footsteps, they have not yet reached the junction of the two dynasties, obviously the emperor's holy decree passed to the local officials before, and it did not reach them, or was stopped......"

The more Xue Yao thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very likely, and it was the collusion between the Great Xuan Dynasty and the people of the Western Regions.

Before the emperor ordered people to pass, he had already sent the edict to the officials on the border, and they should have received it long ago, and it was impossible for them to be indifferent until now, unless they were bold or secretly took refuge in the Western Regions.

As soon as Jiang Zhan thought of this possibility, he immediately had other ways in his heart.

That night, Jiang Zhan went to find the emperor in person, and in front of him, he told the suspicions of this matter.

"You suspect that someone is deliberately suppressing my will." The emperor said coldly.

"Wechen does have this idea!" But as for whether it is or not, we will not know until we check.

Jiang Zhan has always gotten along with the emperor like this, so he dares to say anything, and he is never afraid of offending the emperor.

Of course, the emperor also knows who he is, and loves and hates his uprightness.

With such a person in the court, he can introspect himself at any time, but Jiang Zhan sometimes speaks, which is really annoying.

However, the emperor is used to it now, and he will never worry about him so much, otherwise he will only be angry with himself.

Jiang Zhan has always said that there are people who have one thing to say, and there are people who have two things to say.

"I immediately ordered people to investigate layer by layer, if they really dare to slack off on my orders, I will definitely not forgive!" Although the emperor did not believe that anyone in the court dared to ignore his intentions, he still decided to check first.

After all, this is a contempt for imperial power, and it is impossible for him to tolerate it as an emperor.

The emperor did not alarm anyone, and quietly let his subordinates investigate the relevant officials.

As a result, the emperor found that someone really took his order as a deaf ear and didn't take it to heart at all.

He's been going on for a few days, but no one is really carrying it out.

When the emperor learned of these things, his eyes were full of gloom......
