Xiuchun Dao persuaded: "Commander, our main task is to find the prince, don't meddle in affairs, and wait until we find the prince to sort out the officialdom here." ”

Xiang You had to swallow this breath, looked at the charred house and sighed: "If the prince can see the scene here, it is not a bad thing to know the suffering of the people, otherwise he will not easily give up the power in his hands, and will find a way to use the power in his hands to protect the people!" ”

Xiang You has always regretted that the prince was too unambitious, and easily returned the power in his hands to his father.

Isn't it clear what kind of person Ming Xiaozong is? The Ming Dynasty couldn't be any better under him!

"This is the nearest fishing village to Peacock Island, if the prince arrives here, he will definitely not go any further, he will only stay around here and inquire about the people of Peacock Island." Embroidered spring knife analysis.

This made Xiang You nervous, the prince wouldn't have been hurt by this massacre, right?

He motioned for the embroidered spring knife to bring the local officials for questioning.

When the local county magistrate heard that Jinyiwei's people were looking for him, he was so frightened that he led the civil and military officials in the county government to rush over.

He was sweating profusely, covering his nose and looking around, only to see a caravan, there was no shadow of the Jinyi Guard at all, and he asked the officers and soldiers who passed the message angrily: "Where is the Jinyi Guard?" ”

"He said they were." The officer replied.

"Are you Jinyiwei? What about the waist card? The county magistrate walked up to Xiang You, looked him up and down, and asked suspiciously when he saw him with a scar on his face, exposed to the sun and rain.

The embroidered spring knife beside him took out his waist card.

Embroidered spring knife? The county commander's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly made a move, seeing that there were 10 people in this group, and asked cautiously: "You are all Jinyi Guards?" ”

"Yes. You're not slow to arrive, what's going on here? Xiuchun Dao asked solemnly.

"I don't know, we're investigating with all our might."

"Why is it that so long has passed, and the whole village is gone, and you only know now?"

"Busy," the county magistrate said with a sigh, "how can you care so much?" ”

"What are you busy with?"

"Aren't you busy applying for a health center to house refugees? People from coastal fishing villages have fled to the county seat for refuge, and the crowd is overcrowded, making the lower officials anxious. ”

"There are so many bandits here, how can there be no guards?"

"Your Excellency, you don't know, we have always been peaceful here, and pirates have never dared to commit crimes. The big sea ships of Peacock Island patrol here every day, who dares to attack? But who would have thought that Peacock Island would be occupied by the Japanese in one day, and no one would protect us here, so how could we have the manpower to defend against them? ”

"Then you should immediately report this matter to the Commander of the Metropolitan Command, and ask him to immediately increase his troops to support."

"It's a long story, my lords, the stench here is overwhelming," the county magistrate fanned the air in front of his nose with his hand, and said flatteringly, "The lower official has already prepared the food and drinks and the place to stay, please go and rest first, and the lower official will slowly say how about listening to your lordship?" ”

Xiuchun Dao looked at Xiang You, Xiang You thought that the prince would be the end after he arrived here, and it would be good to stay down first and then look for it, so he nodded.

They arrived at the county seat with the county order, and the streets were full of homeless people and beggars.

The county magistrate vacated a clean, spacious and exquisite yard for them to live in, and also sent 10 servants and maids to come over to serve.

"Forget about these little maids. Just give it to a cook. Xiang You waved his hand and said.

After they settled down, the county magistrate invited them into the restaurant to eat.

"There's no need, just let the cook do it in the yard immediately." With a heavy responsibility and the whereabouts of the prince unknown, how can Xiang You have the heart to enjoy the food?
