"Oh! Come on, Lao Zhang, Lao Kang is right. We are indeed old. We are all about to retire. Can we not grow old...?"
Wang Ben shook his head, trying to wake himself up, and then said with a smile: "We stood in the city all day yesterday, distributing food and medicine! In addition, we stayed up all night studying the map the night before. He definitely doesn’t have as much energy as Lao Kang who spent a whole day and night on the train!”
"Hahaha! Yes, yes, yes! Lao Wang, I didn't see it. You just don't say anything, but if you say a few words occasionally, it's really impressive!"
These words seemed careless, but in fact they not only mocked Kang Anping, but also indirectly reported that he was not idle yesterday, making a pun that even Zhang Han did not expect.
"It's okay!"
Wang Ben was also quite satisfied with his wit, and he raised his chin and laughed innocently.
"Thank you two father-in-laws for your hard work!"
Ying Feiyu stood with his hands behind his hands and spoke.
"No, no, no! These are all things that the veteran is responsible for and what he should do!"
"Yes! We were just joking with Lao Kang! Hehe!"
The two of them quickly waved their hands, not daring to take credit.
"I didn't notice anything unusual along the way!"
After several beatings and scoldings, Wang Bi and Zhang Han were completely sober, and only then did Ying Feiyu get down to business.
"That's right, Your Majesty! According to reports, most of the wind and sand in Longxi have stopped, and the yellow sand only occurs in Longxi County. No other counties along the road have been affected by the yellow sand!"
Wang Ben reported with a serious face.
"Yeah! Just stop it!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
"It is because the yellow sand did not spread to other neighboring counties that Wang Zhiming, the governor of Longxi County, concealed it for so long! If it had spread, the court should have received the news and taken remedial measures! No matter how many ways Wang Zhiming had tried, , and it is impossible to control all the officials in all surrounding counties!"
Zhang Han said.
"You haven't found Wang Zhiming's escape route yet, have you?"
Ying Feiyu put his hands behind his back and guessed.
"How does Your Majesty know?"
"Is it possible that His Majesty has some clever plans?"
The two old guys stared in surprise and asked.
"If we find out, why don't you sleep all night? Yesterday, you were out on the street stocking food and applying medicine, so you won't even have time!"
This information was obtained from the information revealed by the old guys when they were quarreling. It was not a clever plan on his part.
If he had that ability, he would have become a billionaire in future generations, instead of being a stinky loser who can't get a wife?
"Your Majesty is wise...!"
The two of them drank in response.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense...!"
Ying Feiyu waved his hand and began to ask about the specific situation here.
After all, the length of the telegram is limited. No matter how detailed the report is, there are still things that cannot be explained clearly.
So Wang Bi and Zhang Han started explaining everything in detail starting from entering the city.
Even their state of mind and each other's facial expressions at that time were described!
When it comes to the key points, the two of them will dance and recreate the situation at that time!
"Your Majesty, I am not exaggerating. I held poisoned wine in front of him and strangled his neck. He was so frightened that his face turned pale!"
"Yes! I will restrain his body so that he cannot move!"
"Your Majesty, you didn't see those people kneeling on the ground with a plop, which shocked us all!"
"The people not only thank us, but also thank the court!"
"That's right! The people of Longxi are simple and honest. I don't know what Wang Zhiming thinks, but he actually harmed the people in his own jurisdiction...!"
The two old guys got louder and louder as they talked, and by the end they were yelling at Wang Zhiming and others.
The other veterans' blood boiled up when they heard this, and they also started to curse.
The people scolded each other more and more vigorously, and the roof of the house almost caused them to quarrel.
Ying Feiyu sighed deeply and reluctantly got out to breathe fresh air!
The old guys were happily scolding, but no one noticed!
"Da da da……"
At this moment, a messy sound of horse hooves came from far away. Ying Feiyu put his hands on his hips and looked sideways.
After a while, a group of soldiers ran in.
"I will finally see your Majesty...!"
The soldiers surrendered one after another.
"Where did you come back from?"
Ying Feiyu guessed that they were sent by Wang Ben to various counties to investigate the situation, so he immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, I am going to Wudu County and Xiaben County last. These two counties have not been affected by the wind and sand, and the lives of the people in the counties are normal!"
The soldiers reported truthfully.
"Are you sure you have visited every village in the county and asked the people?"
What Ying Feiyu was most worried about was that officials were bribed by Wang Zhiming to conceal and lie about the situation in the county.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Marquis Tongwu and Zhang Shangshu specially told us yesterday that they want us to visit in person and check carefully!"
"That's right! These two counties are indeed not affected by the sandstorm!"
The two leading soldiers surrendered and reported back.
"Okay! You go down and rest first!"
Ying Feiyu nodded with relief.
These two counties are not close to Longxi. If you want to go back and forth to investigate within one day, you must be rushing very fast, without even daring to rest for a moment!
This can be seen from the exhaustion on their faces!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The soldiers bowed their hands and led their horses towards the back office.
Ying Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, bursts of anger bursting out of his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, among the twenty-one counties in Longxi County, when the imperial court sent telegrams to inquire about the situation, only three counties told the truth, eight counties lost contact, and all ten counties lied.
Among these ten counties are Wudu County and Shimoben County!
It seems that their attitude is that the matter has nothing to do with them and they just care about it!
As long as their county is not the one affected by the disaster, they can report that nothing happened!
I don’t believe it. They are in the same county. How could they not know that other counties were affected by disasters?
However, if you are angry, you will be angry. If you don't know how to settle the accounts with them now, you can let it go for now. After you go back to completely manage the disaster area, you can then settle the accounts with them!
"Da da da……"
After a while, the sound of horse hooves came again.
The old guys in the house were done cursing, and then they realized that His Majesty was no longer in the house, and heard the clear sound of horse hooves.
"It should be that the soldiers sent out to investigate are back!"
Wang Ben reacted, pushed aside the crowd, and rushed out in a hurry, followed closely by the other veterans.
"Your Majesty, it turns out you are here!"
Ying Feiyu's figure appeared in sight again, and the veterans quickly gave him a smile.
As soon as they finished speaking, they noticed that His Majesty's expression was not very good, so they quickly shut up.
"Just when you were scolding vigorously, a wave of soldiers have returned to the city to report that everything in Wudu County and Xiaben County is normal and has not been affected by the yellow sand!"
Ying Feiyu spoke calmly and informed the veterans.
"That's good, that's good!"
"Since the two counties have not been affected by the yellow sand, why does Your Majesty seem to be unhappy?"
"Have you forgotten? The two counties responded that everything is normal in Longxi?"
"I haven't forgotten. Their county is indeed normal and has not been invaded by yellow sand!"
"Yes! Their county is indeed normal, but His Majesty is not only asking about their county, but the entire Longxi! He is obviously only looking out for himself and has not reported anything to other counties!"
"Oh...! So that's the case, no wonder His Majesty is angry!"
The veterans and the few generals who came with them began to discuss quietly.
After a simple analysis, we can guess the reason for His Majesty’s cold face!
