While Qi Zihao and Yan Sanye were trying to find out the situation in Juzhou City, Huguang had already taken in hundreds of refugees.
Although the weather is getting warmer, there is no need to worry about these people freezing to death, but there are suddenly so many people, eating, drinking and defecation are not a small problem.
Many people have traveled long distances, are starving, and are still injured. When these people gather together, an epidemic is likely to break out over time, and a decision must be made as soon as possible on how to deal with it.
The officials of the palace were divided into two camps over how to resettle the refugees. One side believed that the refugees were human beings and should be properly resettled, and then send them back after Juzhou calmed down, or simply let them settle in remote places in Huguang as The people of Daqi will treat you.
On the other hand, they always feel that those who are not of my race must have different minds. The people over there in Juzhou are wild and rude, with little education. It is easy for them to cause trouble if they stay, with endless troubles.
So the two sides began to quote scriptures and argue endlessly.
Li Zian sat on top, seemingly listening to the arguments of the people below, but in fact he had been reading the information about the Wuman people that Shen Tianshu compiled from memory overnight.
The argument below had not yet come to a conclusion, when someone suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is information from Juzhou."
Fan Yuru immediately stood up and took it, and found that it was Qi Zihao's name. He was immediately shocked. Could it be that there was also a problem at the military camp?
He quickly opened the envelope and quickly scanned the contents of the letter. Then he felt a little relieved. He did not mention Qi Zihao's name and only said: "Our people entered Juzhou City disguised as businessmen and are now being detained by the Wuman people. Asking for We need Daqi doctors and medicinal materials.
"The letter also said that according to intelligence, the reason why the Wuman people invaded Juzhou City this time was because the Xie family seriously injured the heir of the Wuman Ghost Lord. The Wuman people did not harm the people, and the people in Juzhou City still live the same life today. A life as usual.
"And there is another piece of information. There is a young Han man named Qi Fei next to the Wuman Ghost Lord. He speaks fluent Mandarin, but he is dressed as a Wuman. Now he is in charge of all the affairs in the city, and the Wuman people are also They all obey his command."
After listening to Fan Yuru's report, Li Zian was very keenly aware of the problems.
"If even the people in Juzhou City are still living and working in peace and contentment, then where do the refugees in Huguang come from?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.
Yes, the area further west of Huguang is sparsely populated, and Juzhou City is already the largest city nearby.
The Wuman people are specifically attacking Juzhou City this time. If there is no commotion in Juzhou City, the people living scattered around it should not be affected.
The expressions of the people below also changed. If those people were not refugees, or not all of them were refugees, then it would be worth delving into what their purpose was when they crossed the border and came to Huguang.
Li Zian immediately ordered: "Immediately send someone to send a message to Huaihua and Qi Zihao in the border military camp, asking them to be more vigilant and alert.
"Master Guo, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to take someone to Huaihua to see these refugees firsthand, and then decide how to deal with them."
When his name was called, Guo Xianglei immediately stood up and accepted the order: "Yes! I will go back and prepare now, and try to set off as soon as possible."
"Today's discussion will start here..." Li Zi'an just wanted everyone to disperse when he saw Fan Yuru winking at him from below, so he changed his words and said, "Master Fan and Yuru will stay for a while."
After hearing this, the other officials all stood up and left, leaving only Fan Bingrong and Fan Yuru, father and son.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Fan Yuru handed the letter to Li Zian and said, "Master Shizi, the handwriting in this letter is Qi Zihao's."
Fan Bingrong was stunned when he heard this and said: "Qi Zihao should be in the border military camp now, how could he know the situation in Juzhou City?"
Fan Yuru said: "This time something happened in Juzhou, I arranged for Yan San to go there in person to find out the news. He has an old relationship with Qi Zihao, and he once saved Qi Zihao's life. Maybe because of this, he got involved with him."
"Isn't this nonsense!" Fan Bingrong said angrily, "He is leaving his post without permission. If anything goes wrong during this period, he will be beheaded!"
"So this matter cannot be known to others." Fan Yuru said, "Master, now Yan San is detained in Juzhou City. The other party's request is only a doctor and medicinal materials, which is not difficult to satisfy. Why don't we agree first and then wait for an opportunity? See how to rescue Yan San.
"Otherwise, if we sit idly by and ignore it, there is no guarantee that Qi Zihao will do something else extraordinary."
"This is not difficult. There is a doctor in the house. Just prepare some medicinal materials." Li Zian nodded directly in agreement.
Not to mention that Qi Zihao was already involved in this matter. Even if it was only Yan San, he must do his best to save people.
Firstly, Yan San has made great contributions to the palace over the past many years, and secondly, he cannot let down the hearts of everyone in the palace.
The more Fan Bingrong listened, the angrier he became, but he couldn't get angry with Li Zian, so he could only say to his son: "Don't think I didn't see you winking at the prince just now. Since you have already planned these things, you still want me to stay." What are you doing? Are you trying to make me angry?"
"Dad, of course I have some business to keep you here." Fan Yuru said, "Qi Zihao has always been disobedient, and he is the only one who can listen to your words. This time, you must personally take action in this matter. Just took a trip."
"Are you my biological son? You sent your father to the barren mountains in Juzhou. Are you afraid that your father and I will live longer?"
Fan Bingrong was angry, but he also knew that his son was right. What's more, Qi Zihao was the son of an old friend and he had watched him grow up since he was a child. Emotionally, he was no different from his nephew.
"But Zihao did go too far this time, and he really deserves a good beating!"
When Fan Yuru heard this, he knew that his father had agreed, and said quickly: "Dad, I will ask someone to prepare the doctor and the medicinal materials later. You don't have to worry about it at all. I will also ask someone to put some extra beds in the car for you." Layer the cushions to keep them comfortable for you all the way..."
Early the next morning, after seeing off Guo Xianglei and Fan Bingrong, Li Zian didn't even ask Shen Tianshu because he was worried about the refugees causing trouble. He directly sent someone to deliver a letter to the Shen Mansion, delaying Shen Tianshu's return.
Then someone sent a message to her, asking her to stay in the Wang Mansion for a while with peace of mind, and then return to Yongzhou Mansion when the matter was resolved.
This made Shen Tianshu extremely anxious. Mrs. Shen was arriving at the end of the month, and there was already news about Xie Yan's search for someone.
It can be said that she has been planning for this day for a long time.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for people to come.
How could she not be at home at such a critical time!
