Jiang Hao returned to the post house, immediately packed his luggage and took his team back to Youzhou.
A few days later, Jiang Hao returned to Youzhou and reported everything to Jiangyin.
Jiang Yin, who was already having a headache, was even more restless now that Jiang Hao had brought back this news.
However, things are already like this, no matter how they change, this is the fact.
Jiangyin ordered people to bring the news back to the capital. He first settled the affairs of the army, and within half a month, he set off back to the capital.
At this time, Dongfang Yu was dressed in casual clothes, followed by ministers such as Yu Qian, Xuan Ziyuan, Zhuge Xuanyu, and Yang Xiu.
There are also fifty secret guards closely guarding him.
Not only that, there are definitely not less than a thousand secret guards following him secretly.
Although the emperor was visiting privately incognito, safety was the most important thing, and protective measures were still needed.
It's just these secret guards, disguised and hiding in the dark.
Of course, the secret guards stationed in various states also knew about the emperor's private visit incognito, and had already made preparations in advance.
The first is the issue of the emperor's safety, which must not be slacked off in the slightest.
On an official road in Yuzhou leading to Yuzhou City, Dongfang Yu looked around at the people working in the fields and felt relieved.
"Yu Qian! I think the people in the south of the Yangtze River are living a pretty good life! Are they not like the scene in your poem?" Dongfang Yu said.
Moreover, once such high-yielding crops as potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted, they will grow over a large area. The people may not have enough to eat, but they will not cause famines!
hehe!
Yu Qian stroked his beard and said with a faint smile: "What your Majesty sees is only what is on the surface. There are countless corrupt officials secretly. If your Majesty investigates deeply, you will gain something."
"Your Majesty, you might as well move forward. There may be new situations."
We walked for about half an hour.
Ahead is the curl of smoke rising straight into the blue clouds.
"There seems to be a village ahead!" Dongfang Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the smoke flying in the air, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Yu Qian, Ziyuan, Yang Xiu, and military advisor, take five guards with you. Let's go into the village to have a look. The others, led by Yin Su, will stay here to prevent the people from seeing us and thinking that we are here to rob the village."
"promise!"
Dongfang Yu climbed off the horse.
A few people followed, but! It would have been better not to come in. After walking in, Dongfang Yu's original good mood disappeared immediately.
Where is this village? This is simply a refugee shelter!
Many ragged children, old people, and women gathered in the thatched houses built with thatched straw. As for young people and middle-aged people, there were almost no people.
Several people gathered around the fire to warm themselves up. There was a pot hanging on top. It was unknown whether the water or rice porridge was boiling in it.
"Are these...are these all my subjects of Great Qin?"
Dongfang Yu couldn't believe his eyes.
This Yuzhou seems to have not experienced many major battles! But why do people live in such poverty?
"Yes, they are all His Majesty's subjects!" Yu Qian followed behind Dongfang Yu, his voice full of sadness.
"Later, no one is allowed to reveal my identity." Dongfang Yu ordered.
"promise!"
Several people said respectfully.
Then, Dongfang Yu walked in directly. After seeing Dongfang Yu and his group, these refugees shrank subconsciously and were very afraid of Dongfang Yu and others.
At this moment, a little girl who was playing accidentally bumped into Dongfang Yu. She was instantly knocked to the ground and sat on the ground, crying "Wow!"
Upon seeing this, a woman hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the little girl, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Dongfang Yu and others, "I'm sorry, sir, my child is ignorant and soiled your clothes. Please, sir." Don’t blame me!”
The woman was so frightened that she almost cried.
Dongfang Yu immediately squatted down, stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's head.
When the woman saw Dongfang Yu reaching out, she didn't dare to answer or dodge. She just closed her eyes, as if preparing for the coming of bad luck.
"Little girl, does it hurt from the fall?" Dongfang Yu said to the little girl in an extremely gentle tone.
The little girl was only three or four years old and didn't understand the ways of the world. She didn't know why her uncle was so afraid of the big brother in front of her.
The little girl shook her head and said obediently, "It doesn't hurt, Nier. Mother said that when a person falls, he has to get up by himself."
"hehe!"
"What a good boy!"
This little girl is very cute.
Dongfang Yu couldn't help but want to kiss the latter's little face.
"You are the mother of the child! Can you give me a hug?" Dongfang Yu asked.
ah!
This this…
The woman immediately panicked.
He kowtowed heavily to the ground. As he knelt down, blood actually came out from his forehead. "Sir, this child is ignorant, please let her live!"
Dongfang Yu quickly supported the latter and said doubtfully: "I just want to hug the child. What you said... feels like I'm going to eat her?"
However, how could these people believe what Dongfang Yu said.
The suffering they had suffered had made them see clearly those guys with human faces and animal hearts.
"Hmph, what you say is better than what you sing. It's because of you people that you have harmed so many people and destroyed their families!"
"You are obviously working with the government, you are all the same."
Finally someone couldn't help but started to curse.
The most important thing was that Dongfang Yu, who didn't understand the situation, was kept in the dark when he was scolded like this.
"Master, you saw it! These are the people of Yuzhou."
"There are people in Yuzhou who live well, but there are also people who live poorly." Yu Qian stood behind Dongfang Yu and couldn't help but say.
Dongfang Yu's eyes widened, his heart trembling.
These officials are so terrible that they can escape the eyes of the secret guards.
Of course, there are many secret guards in Great Qin, but... after they are distributed in various states, there are very few.
Except for direct targeting, otherwise! It is really possible that many officials will fish in troubled waters.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let my daughter go."
"Son of a bitch, your government officials have chased us away several times. We already live in the slums. Are you going to let us live?"
At this moment, dozens of men ran over with farming tools. Their eyes were full of anger, and their attitude towards Dongfang Yu and others was extremely unkind.
"Dazhuang, you are back." The woman, holding the child, quickly ran behind the strong man.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm back." The man named Da Zhuang comforted his wife.
Dozens of men, holding forks and hoes, pointed at Dongfang Yu and the others.
"Come on, get out of here quickly, otherwise! We won't be polite."
Da Zhuang shouted angrily.
Dongfang Yu stood up from the ground, looked at everyone, and immediately said: "Fellow folks, do we have any misunderstanding? I didn't bully you, right?"
