After dealing with the wounded horses, Huzi and his Jin Yiwei carried a dark object to Yang Xuan.
Then threw it on the ground.
Everyone who saw the whole picture was also surprised.
Just because Huzi and the others carried the body of a black bear.
The corpse was riddled with arrows and had several oozing wounds.
It can be seen that this black bear was tortured when it died.
"Master Marquis, this is the inn where this beast attacked."
"There was also a leopard, but it was too fast and we didn't catch it."
Huzihui reports.
(Clouded leopard: only found in southeastern Asia)
"Send the order, please be vigilant tonight, and arrange more people to stand guard."
Yang Xuan ordered.
"yes."
Returning to the room again, the little boy was already dressed.
He and Tie Xuan came to Yang Xuan's room.
"What does the Chief Minister of Zhejiang//Jiang do for food? There are wild beasts near the inn."
"I think he doesn't want this black gauze hat anymore."
The little boy said angrily.
Yang Xuan ignored the little boy, but looked at Tie Xuan and asked, "Did you see anything?"
Tie Xuan is not stupid. After hearing Yang Xuan's question, he thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is this man-made?"
"Not bad." Yang Xuan nodded.
They did not hide their whereabouts along the way. As long as someone pays a little attention, they can know where they are.
"Who dares to attack the imperial envoy?" The little boy was very angry and slapped the table.
"Who else could it be? Think about what we are here for this time?" Yang Xuan glanced at the little boy and said calmly.
"The little rat who hides his head and shows his tail has the ability to put up a posture and fight with real swords and guns." said the little boy.
"If that's the case, it would be a rebellion. It would not be in their interests to attract the imperial army to put down the rebellion."
"Using wild beasts to attack like this will leave no clues."
"Even if the imperial envoy has an accident, the local officials will be the unlucky ones."
Yang Xuan said slowly, explaining to the little boy.
"Huh!" The little boy snorted coldly, turned his head and got angry.
Then, Yang Xuan looked at Tie Xuan again.
"Driving wild beasts to attack the inn is a warning to us."
"It means this is their territory. They can even control wild beasts, not to mention humans. As long as we leave obediently, they will be as if nothing happened."
"The lack of casualties this time is the best proof."
"Arrogant, really too arrogant."
"These people simply don't care about the imperial court."
Tie Xuan also slapped the table angrily.
"Haha, after all, we are here to cut their flesh and drain their blood."
"It's normal for them to react this way."
Yang Xuan chuckled and said.
"Then what should we do next?" Tie Xuan asked.
"Just follow the itinerary and walk normally."
Yang Xuan said.
"What if they see that we haven't returned and send people to assassinate us?" Tie Xuan asked.
If he was the only one, he wouldn't ask any more questions.
There are also the Marquis of Changping and the King of Han. If something goes wrong with these two, there will probably be a big earthquake in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
"You are worrying too much." Yang Xuan waved his hand, showing no fear at all.
"They don't dare."
"Assassinating an imperial envoy is tantamount to treason."
"Once something like that happens, the Qiantang River will be dyed red with blood."
"What's more, the King of Han and I are not powerless scholars."
"As long as they dare to do this, it will save me from scheming with them."
"Directly deploy troops to suppress them, once and for all."
As Yang Xuan spoke, the little boy puffed out his chest, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Tie Xuan smiled and felt that he was thinking too much.
The Marquis of Changping and the Prince of Han were both generals who had experienced hundreds of battles. How could some young men harm them?
The three of them then discussed some details, and Yang Xuan let them go back to rest.
Early the next morning, everyone continued on their way.
Halfway through the journey, a dead animal appeared on the road.
And the body had begun to decompose.
Seeing this, Yang Xuan just sneered in his heart and didn't pay much attention.
There were no surprises on the rest of the journey.
Yang Xuan and his party arrived at Hangzhou Prefecture on the second day.
Si Yamen, the chief envoy of Zhejiang//Jiangang, is also here.
The chief envoy, the inspector-general, and the Hangzhou prefecture and other officials under their jurisdiction all went out of the city to greet him.
No matter what everyone's thoughts are secretly, they must be kind and gentle on the surface.
"The lower officials and others have met His Royal Highness the King of Han, Marquis Changping."
"I have met you sirs."
The chief envoy and a group of local officials saluted.
"Humph, along the way, I have seen that the public security in Zhejiang/Jiangang is not as good as rumored."
"I would like to ask, how did you become the chief envoy?"
The younger brother didn't let the officials get up and start an attack on the spot.
"Why did Your Highness say this?"
"The lower officials work conscientiously in their duties, and the people under their rule are also in peace."
"I really don't know why Your Highness wants to embarrass me?"
The chief envoy had an innocent look on his face.
"Then what happened when the wild beast attacked the inn?" The little boy choked and looked very ugly.
"What? A wild beast attacks the inn?"
"Is His Highness injured?" The chief envoy and other officials were shocked.
He quickly stepped forward and expressed concern. It seemed that he really had no idea about the beast attacking the inn.
The chief envoy is an official of the second rank, one level higher than the rank of the six ministers.
Reaching this point in officialdom is already the end point for most people.
If you want to go further, you can only wait to be transferred to the capital.
The current Chief Minister is also older, and it is even more difficult to take further steps.
Moreover, there was a big earthquake in the officialdom some time ago, countless officials were dismissed, and the current Chief Envoy of Zhejiang/Jiangang also lost all his connections in the capital.
It is no longer possible for him to make progress.
What I want to do most now is to keep my wealth.
"Why, you seem to really want me to get hurt?" Xiao Lao Er narrowed his eyes.
"I don't dare, my subordinates."
"snort!"
"I hope the security here will be better before I leave."
"Otherwise, when I return to the capital, I will definitely read your book in front of my father."
"Your Highness is teaching you that your subordinates will never let something like this happen again."
After a brief confrontation, it seemed that the younger brother had suppressed the other party, but in fact no one got any advantage.
Then, the group entered the city.
Yang Xuan and others also settled in the residence arranged by the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang Province.
Not long after, the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang/Jiang came to invite him personally, saying that he had prepared a banquet for everyone.
Tie Xuan wanted to refuse sternly, but Yang Xuan agreed with a smile.
