On this trip, in addition to the secret guard, she also brought Hongxiu and Cuiwei out.

Hongxiu is delicate, observant, and very good at accounting.

Although Cuiwei looks very aggressive, she is neat and martial, and she bears the responsibility of protecting her closely.

Tongzhou is not far from the capital, and if you hurry up, you can arrive before sunset.

But as they sat in the carriage, they slowed down and would not arrive until about the next day.

Towards evening, passing through a town, they decided to find an inn and spend the night.

The town is not far from Tongzhou, the whole town is sparsely populated, and there are hardly any customers in the shops.

They went directly to the largest inn, and as soon as the shopkeeper saw them, he immediately greeted them with a smile on his face: "Are the guest officers sharpening or staying in the hotel?!" ”

Xiao Han looked at the inn with only two floors and ordinary decoration, and frowned unconsciously.

But she also knew that this was already the best inn in the town, and since she came out, she couldn't ask for the same as in the capital.

"Give us five upper rooms, as well as these guards, and trouble the shopkeeper to arrange it." As she spoke, she directly took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver.

The moment he saw the silver, the shopkeeper couldn't close his smile from ear to ear, but then he looked apologetic: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, the small shop only has three upper rooms. As for these guards, they are easy to arrange. ”

At this time, Cui Guangxi, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Miss, three upper rooms are enough, we can live in one room for two people." ”

The others nodded one after another, since they didn't mind, Xiao Han didn't care even more.

Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, she went directly to her room, and after arriving at the house, she instructed Hongxiu: "Hongxiu, you go and order food and arrange everyone's meals." By the way, ask the shopkeeper what the situation is in this town and the news related to Tongzhou, the more detailed the better! ”

Hongxiu was ordered to leave, and Cuiwei removed her shawl and skillfully helped her pinch.

Suddenly, the voice of the secret guard came from outside the window: "Master, there is a letter." ”

Xiao Han said lazily: "Take it in." ”

When the envelope was opened, it was filled with a list of officials' names, including their positions and the various forces involved behind them.

For the secret guard that Grandpa gave him, not to mention martial arts, he is definitely a good hand in intelligence.

It's also thanks to having this secret guard there, which saves her a lot of trouble.

In addition to these officials, there are also some other news about Tongzhou, which are listed one by one.

After reading all the news, she also had a rough idea of the current situation in Tongzhou and the whereabouts of the disaster relief food.

Among them, what caught his attention the most was that the county magistrate of Anning County, a subordinate of Tongzhou, was named Xie Decai, who was a distant relative of the Marquis of Yan'an.

Judging from the list, he is the most greedy of all officials.

Officials in other places have been exploited layer by layer, and there are still three or four out of ten in the hands of the people.

Only Xie Decai, except for some rotten bran rice to the people, all the rest went into his own pocket.

Therefore, Anning County is also the most unsafe place in the whole Tongzhou.

Some of the people in Anning County have left their hometowns, and those who remain behind are also old, weak, sick and disabled, and all of them are living a life with no tomorrow.

No matter how you look at it, Anning County does not have the conditions for the 'riots' of the previous life.

The reason why Grandpa was ordered to come to suppress it was because the mob in Anning County had become a climate, and the local army could no longer suppress it, so he wrote a letter asking for more troops.

Judging from the current situation, there are not many young and strong laborers in Anning County.

The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people can't even eat, and the strength they have brought in a riot?!

Especially since this Anning County magistrate is a distant relative of the Xie family, she always feels that behind the 'Anning County riots', it may not be so simple.

It may also be that she is prejudiced against the Xie family because of the events in her previous life.

No matter what the reason is, for the sake of Grandpa, she also has to check it out!

She wrote another secret letter and gave it to the Dark Guard.

Not long after the dark guard left, Hongxiu walked in and reported what she had heard.

This town is called Laiwuzhen, which is located on the edge of the Huai River.

The town is relatively wealthy, so there are still many people who have carried it before the disaster relief food arrives.

I thought that when the disaster relief food arrived, life would become better, but who would have thought that the food in his hands would only be barely enough to maintain, and he could not even reach the basic food and clothing.

As for Anning County, which is not far away, it is even more serious, where it is said that many people have died of starvation, and some people have escaped, but they have also starved to death on the way.

After all, there is not enough relief food distributed in other places, so naturally there is no surplus food to distribute to others.

Originally, some people in Anning County couldn't stand it and wanted to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, but then those people disappeared, and I don't know whether they were dead or alive.

There must be something wrong with the county order of Anning County, but the question is who is behind him!

If there is no one behind him, Xiao Han will never believe it. Since he can do this, it means that he is covered by someone, and he is not afraid that others will find out about him.

Early the next morning, the group set off in full gear and rushed to Anning County near noon.

When I arrived in Anning County, I found that the entire county was silent except for white sails and paper money, like a dead city.

Xiao Han took people straight to the county office, and when he arrived at the county office, he found that the county government was also quiet.

She directly ordered Liu Biao to surround the county government with more than a dozen guards, and ordered to search for the county order.

In the end, the guards were in the backyard and found Xie De, who was playing with the beautiful concubine, and brought it to her with two beautiful concubines.

Xie De was only about thirty years old, with a fat head and big ears, and when he was thrown in front of Xiao Han, he only had a half-open bedgown on his body.

On the way here, I could always hear his scolding voice, and his tone was very arrogant.

Xiao Han glanced at him with disgust, and said coldly: "Xie County is so interested, the people of the entire county are living a life that is worse than death, but your life is impressive!" ”

Xie Decai licked his face and smiled: "I don't know who you are?!" ”

Xiao Han didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and showed the token given by the emperor's uncle.

The moment he saw the token, Xie De's face was like ashes, and his whole person was paralyzed to the ground.

"Director Zhang, Cui Yushi, this Xie County Order will be handed over to you to dispose of, be sure to get something useful out of his mouth!" Xiao Han commanded.

"No." After Zhang Wang and Cui Guangxi received the order, they let two guards carry Xie Decai to the prison, and seemed to be ready for interrogation.

As for the two women, Xiao Han ordered someone to take them to the backyard and lock them up with Xie Decai's other wives and concubines.

After solving Xie Decai, she took someone directly to Xie Decai's study to prepare to check the accounts.
