Chapter 643 Mutation (4)
At this time, it is considered to be a time when the rice is not harvested. The rice hoarded by the people's family years ago is almost eaten, and the rice in the field has not yet headed.If the grain merchants do not sell grain, eight out of ten families of the common people will have no rice to cook.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the common people can't even eat, so what's the golden rule?
"Mrs. Hui, Princess, today two grain merchants in Huzhou City were smashed into grain shops, and the common people looted the only dozen or so buckets of rice in their shops. Tang County Magistrate sent people to arrest the common people, and the common people were outraged. Officials and civilians fought in the street. Three civilians died and 56 were injured. Thirteen were also injured by the county government servants, varying in severity."

"It's finally started." Yao Yanyu's face was gloomy like water. Once the civil uprising was stirred up, the consequences would be disastrous.

"What's going on in Tangru Town! As the magistrate of this kind of thing happened, he didn't want to find a way to stabilize the price of grain, and ordered those grain merchants to sell grain at a low price, instead he went to arrest some rioters?!" Yun Yao clapped her hands angrily. Xiaoji, fortunately, this Xiaoyuanji is made of rattan, so I can't shoot too much.

Yao Yanyu sighed: "Princess, who knows if he did it on purpose?"

"Then what should we do?! Shall we just watch?!" Yun Yao kicked a pebble away angrily.

"Has the lord replied?" Yao Yanyu is now eager to know what the capital's plan is for this matter.

Yun Yao sighed and shook her head.The letter was sent out in three days. The capital city is nearly two thousand miles away, and if you use the best horses to run, it will take four or five days to go back and forth without changing people.

What's more, it is impossible for the father to decide such a big matter by himself, and he always has to discuss it with the emperor.The emperor will definitely summon the ministers to find a way.By the time those ministers figured out a way, the common people here would have already smashed the county government ten or eight times.

"Princess! Ma'am! Be brave and wait to send someone, saying that there is a letter for Madam!" Xu Shiyang rushed to report.

"Please!" Yao Yanyu immediately sat up straight.

Xu Shiyang brought the man up, and the man dressed as a farmer approached and saluted: "Slave Han Wu greets Mrs. Fuguo and the princess."

"Get up and talk." Yao Yanyu hurriedly ordered Xiangru behind him: "Serve a big bowl of tea."

Xiang Ru hurriedly poured a bowl of bamboo leaf tea and sent it to Han Wu.

"Mrs. Xie." Han Wu hurried on his way, naturally thirsty, took the tea and gulped it down, then bowed and said: "The slave is following my uncle's order to send a letter to Madam."

"Where's the letter?" Yao Yanyu asked hurriedly.

Han Wu pulled out a dagger from his boots, Xu Shiyang and Yelan were startled when they saw this, and hurriedly protected Yao Yanyu and Yun Yao behind their backs.

"My lords, don't blame me. It's true that there are many suspicious people pretending to be rioters and robbers along the way. I'm afraid that I will accidentally spoil the master's important affairs, so I thought of a stupid way." Han Wu said, putting He separated his skirt and took out the Yifeng letter from the interlayer.

Xu Shiyang went forward to take the letter and handed it to Yao Yanyu, Yao Yanyu hastily tore it open for a closer look.

Han Yuge's few words are shocking: rioters are everywhere in Hanyang Mansion, Anlu Mansion, etc. People with ulterior motives mixed in and mobilized rioters to loot everywhere. More than half of the post stations north of Han River were destroyed by rioters, and horses were robbed and killed. The stew was dropped, and some people even assassinated the courier and robbed the court's north-south correspondence, and it has been discovered that someone shot and killed carrier pigeons.In order not to let the news be stolen by the other party, I also ask my wife not to use carrier pigeons to send messages for the time being.In addition, I originally wanted to coerce the Anlu Mansion to open a granary to release grain, but because the rioters were misled, thousands of people rushed in before the granary was opened. It didn't work out, but it was shocking.So this marquis advises Madam not to act rashly, and tries to persuade the government to release food, otherwise the consequences will only be worse.

A letter with only a few words, but Yao Yanyu's heart was icy cold after reading it.

Seeing this, Yun Yao reached out and snatched the letter, and couldn't help being stunned after reading it: "What should we do? Are we just waiting to be snatched by those mobs?"

Yao Yanyu took a deep breath and asked Han Wu, "Is your Lord Hou in Anlu Mansion now?"

"Returning to Madam, my uncle is not in Anlu Mansion right now. Our people caught the leader of the rioters. After interrogation, we found out that the origin of the incident was in Qianzhou, so our people went to Qianzhou."

Yao Yanyu nodded, and said: "Okay. I understand. You must be tired after traveling all the way. Go and rest for a while. After I finish writing the letter, you can take it back for me."

"Yes, the slave will leave." After Han Wu bowed and saluted, he retreated with Ye Lan.

Yun Yao suddenly asked Yao Yanyu: "Is this person trustworthy? Don't play tricks to scare us."

"He once followed Han Shuai to fight Beihu, and I healed his wounds. I remember this face, so it shouldn't be wrong."

"But I heard that there is a disguise technique in Jianghu. Besides, isn't your wound medicine specially for scars?" Yun Yao asked with a frown.

"It's easy to handle. I remember that his wound was on his left shoulder. It was a knife wound. In addition, the wound medicine in the army is mainly to quickly stop bleeding, reduce inflammation and prevent infection. The effect of removing scars is not very good. Besides, the ointment for removing scars is originally Another kind." Yao Yanyu also felt that it is better to be cautious at such a time, so she raised her hand to beckon Xu Shiyang, and whispered a few words.Xu Shiyang agreed to go on.

Yun Yao took Han Yuge's letter and read it again, and sighed anxiously: "If it's really like what the big cousin said, we really can't do anything?"

"Not necessarily." Yao Yanyu gently grasped the armrest of the rattan chair with her fingers, "Now let's confirm the authenticity of this letter first. By the way, don't you know the characters of Zhongyonghou?"

Yun Yao sighed helplessly: "The characters of the first cousin and the second cousin were both taught by the Duke himself, and the characters of the Duke are very popular in the Dayun Dynasty, although I dare not say that everyone will imitate them a few times. pen, but it’s not difficult to find an imitation one. Besides, I’m not an expert in calligraphy, so how can I tell the difference.”

Yao Yanyu gave a helpless wry smile, it was a bit bad for celebrities in ancient times.In fact, Zhen Guogong's handwriting may not be very good, but whoever let someone be the Duke of the country, the people below practiced his handwriting for the sake of flattery, which is good, and they can't even distinguish the handwriting.

Fortunately, Yao Yanyu had treated Han Wu's wounds before, so he knew the scars on his body.

In the evening, Xu Shiyang quietly reported that the scars on Han Wu's body were real, and he basically looked as good as he told his wife.

"What do you mean basically not bad?!" Yun Yao asked angrily, "How do you do things?"

"Basically, it's right. I treated his injury at the time, but it's been so long, and there were many people injured at that time, so I'm a little fuzzy. Besides, it's been more than two years, and people's physiques are different. The degree of wound healing is also different. Being basically the same is enough to prove that he is not a fake."
