Chapter 460: Take People
"How can Caoyun Wharf go out of the water?!" Qi Mufeng asked sharply, looking at the ministers under the hall, waiting for their answers.
Where did the officials of the family dare to answer, they all turned their eyes to Gu Yixuan, and saw how this Divine Martial Monarch replied.
"Your Majesty, the water should be a complete accident. Gu Yixuan's surprise was to clean up the responsibility of taking the water: "After all, there are water sources around the wharf, if it weren't for an accident, there would be no such mistakes." ”
Listening to Gu Yixuan's words, Qi Mufeng nodded, and his anger dissipated a little: "What Yixuan said is reasonable. But after all, it is not a trivial matter to take water, and the loss of the damaged goods in the warehouse must be carefully settled! There are also casualties among the people, and they must be appeased more!"
"The emperor's mercy is the blessing of all the people. Gu Yixuan bowed his head and saluted in the direction of Qi Mufeng.
"This matter, Mu Sheng, will be left to you. Qi Mufeng looked at Qi Musheng and instructed him.
"Yes, Father. Qi Musheng was ordered, his hands arched, and he replied to Qi Mufeng when he bowed.
"Yixuan, appease the people and count the goods, Mu Sheng may not be able to take care of it alone, so you will have to worry more. Help Mu Sheng solve it well. "The royal order is in person, Gu Yixuan obeys the arrangement.
As for the reason for the fire, Qi Mufeng looked at Gu Yixuan, his expression and his words had already made Qi Mufeng guess a few points.
"Yi Xuan, after the morning dynasty is over, you will come to the imperial study. I have something to say to you.
Wechen obeyed. Gu Yixuan knew what Qi Mufeng wanted to ask, his face did not change, and he bowed respectfully before stepping aside
What does the emperor want to say to Brother Gu? Lin Feng looked at him from the side, silently muttering in his heart, trying to guess what he had found, but he had no clue.
His eyes swept in the direction of Qi Musheng, and he saw a serious expression on his face, as if he was worried about something, but it was not easy to ask.
That's it, it's not too late to ask him when Gu Yixuan comes back. Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and obediently stayed aside.
"Your Majesty. The guards had already sent the news to Xu Hai, and when Xu Hai heard it, he immediately stepped forward and called Qi Mufeng.
Seeing the look on Xu Hai's face, Qi Mufeng nodded, beckoned him to come over, and asked him to whisper to him
Xu Hai has been by Qi Mufeng's side for so many years, what is the look on his face, Qi Mufeng wants to come out, and then he saw that Xu Hai's face was wrong, and he knew that there was a clue.
I saw Xu Hai leaning over respectfully and whispering in Qi Mufeng's ear.
"Your Majesty, news came from the dock that the people had suffered heavy casualties, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince failed to deal with it properly, resulting in resentment among the people. ”
Qi Mufeng's anger rose: "What the hell is he doing?!"
"Father, why are you so angry?" Qi Musheng saw his father so angry, and stepped forward and asked softly.
"Mu Sheng, you go to the dock immediately to appease the people, Lin Feng, you go with him, take my imperial decree, and bring the eldest prince to me!" Qi Mufeng was rarely angry, but today he was so aggressive, everyone was shocked.
The officials of the family listened to Qi Mufeng's instructions and knew that something must have happened to Qi Yuheng, so they provoked Long Yan to be furious. For a while, everyone looked at each other, panicked in their hearts, and didn't know what to do.
"Retreat from the dynasty!" After giving the order, without waiting for Qi Musheng and Lin Feng to respond, with a wave of his hand, he ordered to retreat from the dynasty. Before leaving, he also called Gu Yixuan and asked him to go to the imperial study together.
"Yixuan, tell me honestly, what is the reason for the water on this dock?"
Qi Mufeng was half-lying on the couch, supporting his elbows on his elbows, staring at Gu Yixuan and asked.
"Back to the emperor, the dock is indeed an accident. Gu Yixuan's face did not change.
"Don't hide it anymore, I'm not stupid. Qi Mufeng waved his hand: "Although I can't fully understand your child's thoughts, after all, I have more than ten years of experience than you, so I can naturally see through some things." Just now in the palace, in front of the hundred officials, you decided that this water walk must be an accident, which made me feel a little strange. ”
"What does the emperor think, what's strange?" Gu Yixuan asked, he neither denied nor admitted Qi Mufeng's words.
"You kid has always been cautious, and you like to delve into everything and reason. If it was you in the past, you would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end, and find out the reason for this. Today, however, is different, you don't mention any of the doubts, and simply draw conclusions, only saying that it was an accident. How do you keep me from being suspicious?"
Gu Yixuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Qi Mufeng to understand himself so thoroughly.
"What the emperor said is indeed true every word, and every sentence is heart-piercing. It is useless to refute, since he is seen through, he is naturally not afraid to admit it.
"So, Yixuan, would you like to tell me if you did it this time?" Qi Mufeng asked.
"Back to the emperor, he is indeed a micro-minister. Gu Yixuan replied simply, taking all the responsibility for this matter on himself: "This matter, from beginning to end, was done by Yixuan alone. ”
"Why?" Qi Mufeng was a little sad, if he only destroyed the goods, then there would be room for manoeuvre, but this time, it hurt hundreds of people. Qi Mufeng couldn't turn a blind eye.
"Your Majesty, Weichen just wants to vent his personal anger......" Gu Yixuan's face showed a sad look: "Your Majesty, Weichen's mother died unjustly, I heard that before she died, she had fought with someone, and from the scars on her body, it should be the work of Han Feiyang, the head of the Shen family." Weichen once sent someone to question Han Feiyang, wanting to hold him accountable, but the people of the family did it, and they actually covered up Han Feiyang's crime. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Yixuan's throat was infarcted, and after a pause, he continued to speak: "Yixuan is not a saint, he also has love and hatred, and for Han Feiyang, he wants to avenge his mother. But His Royal Highness the Great Prince and the family repeatedly blocked him, so that Yixuan could not punish Han Feiyang at all. I happened to hear recently that Han Feiyang was taking over the management of the dock, so he thought that if something went wrong at the dock, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince would punish him, so Yixuan could be regarded as teaching him a lesson. ”
"Since it's just to teach Han Feiyang a lesson, why hurt the people?" Gu Yixuan's remarks sounded understandable to Qi Mufeng, after all, the hatred of killing his mother was not shared, he wanted to teach Han Feiyang a lesson, he Qi Mufeng would not say anything, after all, it was good for the family's forces to suppress and suppress. But he hurt the people, which made Qi Mufeng really difficult.
"Your Majesty, Weichen originally just wanted to destroy part of the goods. As far as Wei Chen knows, those goods are all grain and firewood, and a large part of them are tribute oranges, no matter how fierce the fire is, next to the warehouse is the water source, how can it be too late to extinguish the fire? But I never expected that these things, as soon as they caught fire, they exploded violently, which led to heavy casualties among the people!" Gu Yixuan lowered his head and explained loudly.
Qi Mufeng's face changed: "How could it explode?!" It exploded when it met fire, and only one word appeared in Qi Mufeng's mind, gunpowder.
"Xu Hai, what is the transportation of the Caoyun Wharf on weekdays?!" Qi Mufeng turned his head sideways, looked at Xu Hai, and asked sharply.
"Back to the emperor, the goods transported at this wharf are all in the hands of His Royal Highness the Great Prince and the people of the family, and the servants have just checked it a few days ago, according to the records, it is some grain and tribute oranges. Xu Hai replied.
How could the grain and tribute oranges be fried at a moment's notice? Qi Mufeng felt uneasy in his heart: "Yixuan, I want you to go to the dock immediately and investigate those goods!
Gu Yixuan couldn't ask for it, so he just took advantage of this opportunity. Hit the forces of Han Feiyang and Qi Yuheng hard!
"Weichen, obey!"
On the dock side, Qi Yuheng checked the remaining goods.
"How much is left?" urging the guards to count, Qi Yuheng asked anxiously.
"Your Royal Highness, there are still sixty percent of the goods left, and the remaining forty percent have all been destroyed. The guard replied.
Sixty percent... Qi Yuheng silently thought, that's it, sixty percent is sixty percent, fortunately, this loss is still within the bearable range.
"Organize well, prepare to move all these things!" The rest of the goods must be moved as soon as possible, otherwise if they are discovered by others, they will be in trouble.
"Brother Emperor, where are you going to move things to?" The guards had just loaded half of the goods, and then they saw that in front of them, Qi Musheng walked over with Lin Feng.
Qi Yuheng was shocked in his heart, at this hour, it should still be in the early dynasty.
"Brother Emperor, there is such a big incident at the dock, why did you come alone? Fortunately, the news reached the palace in time, and my father was worried that you would not be able to handle it alone, so he sent us here. Qi Musheng stepped forward and stepped forward to check the goods, but was blocked by Qi Yuheng, stood in front of him and said: "Second Emperor Brother doesn't need to bother, the main hall has already taken care of everything." ”
"Really?" Qi Musheng raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him were divided into two rows, showing the scene behind him in front of Qi Yuheng.
"Brother Great Emperor can see clearly, these people have suffered heavy casualties, and there are bloody wreckage all over the ground. The seriously wounded people were moved to a safe place by me just now, and they were treated by doctors, but before I came, these people could only sit here without help. Is this the situation properly handled by the eldest brother?" Qi Musheng's words, Lin Feng, who listened to it, snorted coldly: "Hmph! Doesn't His Royal Highness the Great Prince only have these goods in his eyes?
"Presumptuous!" Qi Yuheng shouted angrily: "This hall is His Royal Highness the Great Prince of Darui, how can you be so ignorant and yelling!"
Lin Feng wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Qi Musheng: "Brother Emperor, General Lin is young and vigorous, he came all the way from Fangcai, and when he saw the miserable appearance of the people, he was concerned about it. ”
"Hmph!" Flicked his sleeves and turned his back, unwilling to look at Qi Musheng again: "Since the second emperor brother has properly settled the people, and the main hall has also finished counting the goods, next, the main hall is going to transport these goods to a safe place, and everything here will be handed over to the second emperor brother to deal with you!"
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince, don't be in a hurry!" Seeing that Qi Yuheng was about to leave, Lin Feng called out and ordered him to stop.
Turning his head, he looked at Lin Feng with disdain: "What else is there to do with Major General Lin?"
I saw Lin Feng give a look to the guard behind him, and the guard came forward with a bright yellow scroll.
"This is?!" Qi Yuheng recognized it at a glance.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Great Prince has recognized what this is. Lin Feng said, took the scroll from the guard's hand, and said to Qi Yuheng: "His Royal Highness, the emperor has decreed that you should go with Weichen!"
