Regarding Shen Wen's words, Xie Qian smiled and said nothing.

Soon, the report sent by the food team quickly arrived at the Beijing camp stationed in Lingqiu County.

And in this big camp of the Beijing camp, tens of thousands of horses and horses were urgently gathered here to stand ready.

In addition, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the personnel stationed in various ministries have also been waiting here anxiously.

These tens of thousands of elite cavalry from the Jingying Camp selected all the elite.

And because of His Majesty's attention, he personally ordered the British Duke Zhang Mao to sit here.

Countless news from Datong, Lingqiu County, and the capital are summarized here.

The cabinet scholar, who was almost 'kidnapped', entered Lingqiu county rashly with only a few followers.

And according to the school lieutenants and warriors who mixed into Lingqiu County like sand, they brought out the news from the whole territory of Lingqiu County.

The army was stationed here and did not rush in because the roads here were not open to vehicles and horses, and they were all small trails. Even the grain team in Xishan could only rely on manpower to transport grain inward.

However, manpower transportation of grain consumes a lot of money. Daming supplied the military supplies to the border towns, and the loss ratio was roughly nine to one. That is to say, if the Ming Dynasty requisitioned a civilian man carrying a hundred catties of grain and arrived in Jinzhou, the civilian man would be on the road back and forth. It may take 90 catties of grain to eat, but the grain that actually falls to Jinzhou may only be about 11 catties, and the rest is all lost on the road.

In the current environment of Lingqiu County, if an army of 10,000 enters, if tens of thousands of civilians are not recruited to provide food in an endless stream, it will not be able to satisfy the army's supply of food and grass. Scouting horses to inquire about news, once a thief is found, the army is here, which can not only deter them, but also send a team of elites to rush into the mountains when the situation is really urgent.

As for the safety of Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar, Zhang Wei was sweating a lot. Mr. Xie left too hastily. More than a dozen officials, with only a few retinues, even the coachmen and bearers stayed outside. Really unwise.

The only thing Zhang Mao can do right now is to send a large number of people to clean up the official way!

Although this road has been cleared by the people of Xishan Academy, the purpose of their clearing is to find a path that can pass through, just to enter the disaster area, but it is really necessary for a large number of troops to enter, and the supplies can keep up. But it is necessary to keep clearing the roads that have been washed away by rocks and broken embankments!

Otherwise, if a large number of people rushed in, it would be like letting a group of troops with knives and guns but no food go in to grab the rations of the victims.

Without food and grass, even the elite of the Beijing camp, Zhang Mao could not guarantee that a group of hungry soldiers could be restrained.

However... a large number of factory guards brought a lot of good news from inside, which made Zhang Mao's heart a little easier.

There are no traces of thieves found inside. The so-called thousands of thieves in the rumors, such a huge number, must have lairs, and the range of activities must be extensive. There is nothing.

"God bless!" Zhang Mao couldn't help looking at Xiao Jing who was beside him and said, his face that had been tense for a long time finally eased a little.

This time, Xiao Jing also came, and Mu Bin, commander of Jin Yiwei, also came.

Xiao Jing and Mou Bin also heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

"There is still good news!" Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Fanzi found a camp with a large number of victims in it, His Highness and people from Xishan Academy are there, that is to say, His Royal Highness is safe and sound. ...Good news, but...what's going on inside, what I brought back is just a one-sided story. Our family recently, to be honest...do not know what to do, and until now I dare not report the good news to His Majesty, for fear that something will happen There was something wrong, so I ordered people to continue to investigate."

Zhang Mao nodded in agreement, and couldn't help sighing: "What are you talking about at Xishan Academy, what can a group of scholars do in such a difficult environment, His Royal Highness...cough cough..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mao subconsciously glanced at Xiao Jing and Mou Bin, and immediately shut his mouth. He almost forgot that standing in front of him were the two chief secret agents of Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhang Mao didn't go on with what Zhang Mao said, Xiao Jing still understood Zhang Mao's meaning and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is messing around a bit, there is nothing to say, if His Majesty is here, you can say the same, we are all Your Majesty My confidant, I understand many things, and when I go back this time, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be beaten severely, and that Fang Jifan... is harmful..."

Now that everyone's safety is roughly confirmed, Xiao Jing's mood can be regarded as relaxed!

He had never had a good impression of Fang Jifan, and now he continued happily: "When he and His Highness built the academy, what he said was clear and clear. What did he say? It was about teaching and educating people. It is for people to go in and study. That's why the princes in the court are willing to send their own children in. But what about this guy, reading a ghost book, reading, reading, there is no one in the academy I lost my shadow and ran all the way here. Poor Mr. Xie, you have a lot of old bones, and you have to suffer so much to come here under the emperor's order. According to the person who carried the sedan chair, at the foot of the mountain, the mountain road is rough. , there are chaotic rocks everywhere, cars, horses and sedan chairs can't get in. Mr. Xie wanted to slow down and let people clear the way first, but he was born to a group of assistant officials, almost tied into the mountain, but fortunately nothing happened. If something happened, wouldn’t it be the sky falling?”

"So what..." Xiao Jing looked at Zhang Mao, then at Mou Bin, and then continued: "Our family thinks that Fang Jifan is the least important thing."

Zhang Mao said with a smirk: "That's not right. When the students go to Xishan Academy to study, their parents insist on sending them in, don't they? Fang Jifan let people go in to study, but they didn't Take out the knife and put it on the necks of the students, oh, these students are not too young, they will go wherever Fang Jifan tells them to go? Then Fang Jifan tells them to die, will they die too? Fang Jifan still let them go They eat *, they also eat? It can be seen that the problem of Xishan Academy is not the fault of Fang Jifan alone. , this is not something we worry about, what we have to worry about is to ensure the absolute safety of His Highness, Xie Gong, and the people of the Academy. mistake."

Zhang Mao paused, and then said: "There is also the matter of cleaning up the officialdom, which cannot be delayed, but there are not enough civilian husbands, and the Shuntian Mansion doesn't know what to eat."

After complaining for a while, I heard someone outside shouting: "Report, there is a report from the mountain."

play......play report...

As soon as Zhang Mao heard the report, he immediately cheered up and said quickly, "Come in."

A school lieutenant hurried in, holding a report in his hand, and said: "It was sent by the food team, and it is said that it was written by Mr. Xie."

Xie Gong...

Everyone's eyes brightened.

Xie Gong still has the time to send out the report at this time, so it would be more appropriate to come inside.

Zhang Mao took over the memorial. This is an unusual memorial. There is no wax seal or seal. It must be because the conditions in the mountains are relatively difficult. Even the paper is used by ordinary scholars, not only that. , It's not so much a memorial, it's better to say it's a letter, it's just folded after it's written.

Zhang Mao looked down at the folded paper, looked at Xiao Jing and Mou Bin, and said, "Eunuch Xiao, Commander Mou, will this memorial be sent directly to the palace?"

Xiao Jing frowned, and secretly scolded Zhang Mao, the old fox.

This is Xie Gong's first-hand news, which is completely different from the news sent by those secret agents and Tanma. Xie Gong's observations in the mountains must be different from ordinary people. In other words, this is the most important job for them right now. first-hand information.

"You have to take a look." Xiao Jing said: "Although the minister's memorandum has nothing to do with people and should not be easily inspected, but the specific situation inside has not been fully clarified yet. We are ordered here and have a heavy responsibility. If there is something important here message, but I missed it, and if something happens, whose fault is it?"

Zhang Mao looked at Mou Bin.

Mou Bin said blankly: "Eunuch Xiao is right."

Zhang Mao said seriously: "Eunuch Xiao said to watch, so let's watch."

Xiao Jing was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, what do you mean if Eunuch Xiao said to watch it, you don't want to watch it? You really are a chicken thief. Although you are in a hurry, if something happens, your relationship with Zhang Mao will be clear.

As Zhang Mao said, he conveniently unfolded the folded paper.

Three people, three pairs of eyes, landed on the paper intently.

Zhang Mao glanced at the past, and his face became more and more strange.

This... What memorial is this?

too weird.

Mr. Xie, this is too flattering, right?

There are a lot of nasty flattery in it, even Xiao Gonggong, who has always been not too shameless, may not be able to say it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went in, shouldn't this be described as naughty and nonsense? Why in it, it became the savior of the disaster victims and a model of virtuousness?

If it wasn't Xie Qian who went in at the beginning, but Zhang Mao or Eunuch Xiao, it would have made sense to say these shameless words.

But the problem is... the one who spoke was the straightforward and outspoken Xie Gong.

"Is this Xie Gong's handwriting?" Zhang Mao looked at Xiao Jing with suspicion in his eyes.

Xiao Jing is the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies. After the cabinet drafts are drafted, the memorandum is sent to His Majesty for review. After His Majesty makes comments on it, he needs to send it to the Supervisor of Rituals for approval and stamping. Therefore, Xiao Jing is familiar with Xie Qian's handwriting. of!

He nodded subconsciously: "Yes, it must be his. This handwriting can be recognized even in ashes."

Next, the eyes of the three people lifted up from the memorial, and you looked at each other, and I looked at you, all in a daze!

But Zhang Mao said: "It is heard that His Royal Highness is very good at copying and printing."
