Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 288 It's Dayan Hall Again

The courtiers quarreled like a pot of porridge. Some said that the top priority was to solve the problem of food, and some said that if the gangsters were not dealt with, no matter how much food they had, they would be robbed.

The two batches of grain were transported to the Northeast from different places, and the places where they were attacked were separated by hundreds of miles. It can be seen from the method of grabbing the grain that it was a group of people.

Acting so quickly and retreating so quickly, it was hard not to make Feng Jin think too much, how could ordinary bandits dare to rob the court of food for disaster relief so blatantly?What's more, the bandits have their own dens, and the location of their operations will not be too far from the dens. The two places are separated by hundreds of miles, so it is impossible for bandits to do it.

Until now, where the food is and who snatched it, I don't know.

Looking at the courtiers who were quarreling below, Feng Jin felt a headache.

"Your Majesty, it's better to divide the troops into two groups."

Pei Xiu took a step forward and said, Feng Jin remained silent, the families of the dead soldiers needed to be appeased, and the people in the Northeast also needed to be appeased. Grain must have thought that the imperial court was deceiving them, disregarding their life and death, and maybe they would rebel.

From the morning to the afternoon, there was still no reason for the quarrel.

"Stop arguing, it's giving me a headache!"

Feng Jin said coldly, there was no sound in the imperial study.

"Just do as Pei Qing said. The troops will be divided into two groups, one to dispatch the food, and the other to investigate the people who robbed the food. To be on the safe side, this time the army escorting the food will send more people, and also, buy people from the rivers and lakes to help in the process. Find the way ahead."

Feng Jin always felt that the continuous grain grab this time was not simply for food, but to make the Northeast riot.

Therefore, she had a premonition that the third time to collect food would be robbed.

Feng Jin had other plans in mind, after dismissing the courtiers, Feng Jin left Pei Xiu behind.

"Your Majesty wants to borrow Sword Thirteen One?"

As soon as Feng Jin opened his mouth, Pei Xiu couldn't help but widen his eyes, Feng Jin nodded, "Not just Jian Shisan, I will send the deputy head of the secret guard to escort the third batch of food to the disaster area day and night, I always feel that this time The matter is aimed at me, since the other party can silently destroy an army of 500 people, it is not difficult for an army of 2000 people, so..."

"So Your Majesty wants masters like Jian Shisan to watch secretly, to see who is behind the scenes?"

Feng Jin actually already had someone in her heart, but she didn't want to think about that person, she wanted evidence.

Feng Jin nodded, Pei Xiu pondered for a moment, and agreed.

"Thank you!"

"Your Majesty is serious."

The matter was urgent, and the monarch and his ministers immediately called the deputy leader and Jian Shisan to come in and made a plan. The two nodded repeatedly and promised to complete the task.

Just as Jian Shisan and the deputy leader were about to leave, a hidden guard hurried into the imperial study, "Your Majesty, I just received the news! The two batches of food have been snatched back!"

"really?"

Feng Jin asked back with surprise on her face, she and Pei Xiu looked at each other, "This, how is this possible?"

Pei Xiu looked at the dark guard, "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"

"The subordinates don't know what's going on, but they just received the news that the two batches of food reappeared in the place where they were robbed before, and there was not a single piece of food missing. The local sergeant station has sent soldiers to send food to the northeast."

Pei Xiu frowned, "It can't be that the mastermind behind the scenes is playing around, and the food will be sent back after playing, right?"

He thought for a while and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the food? For example, it was poisoned."

The secret guard shook his head, "The news came back that the local government office also felt strange, fearing that someone might play tricks, so the doctor checked it carefully, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"This is amazing!"

Both Feng Jin and Pei Xiu couldn't figure out what happened, at this moment, another hidden guard came in, "Your Majesty, there is another news!"

"Say!"

"In a cave more than ten miles away from the place where the food was robbed, the bodies of many men in black were found, as if they were killed with sword energy. The local government inspected the bodies of the men in black. All of them had There is a mark."

As the secret guard said, he cast a strange look at Feng Jin, Feng Jin thought for a moment, "Imprint... the dead man of Dayan Hall?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, those men in black are dead soldiers of Dayan Hall. In the cave, we also found a carriage for transporting food."

"The people from Dayan Hall stole the food?"

Feng Jin murmured, and Pei Xiu murmured, "People from Dayan Hall robbed the food, someone found out where the food was stored, killed all the dead, took the food back, and put it in front of the food without a sound. On the way to grab."

Pei Xiu said, looking at Feng Jin with meaningful eyes, "Who does your Majesty think this person is?"

Feng Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said flatly, "I don't know either."

Pei Xiu smiled meaningfully, "No matter who it is, it has helped the court a lot."

Feng Jin also laughed, but it was a bit weird.

The matter was resolved without any risk. Feng Jin didn't need to send Jian Shisan and the leader of the hidden guards, but for some reason, she only withdrew Jian Shisan, and the deputy head went northeast as usual.

Afterwards, news came one after another that on the way of food delivery, the journey was safe and sound, and not even a small mouse was encountered. Pei Xiu took this opportunity to spread rumors among the people, saying that Her Majesty the Empress is the king of heaven with great blessings, That's why things went so smoothly. The drought that God sent before was just to temper His Majesty's will.

This rumor quickly spread to every corner of the country, and Feng Jin's prestige among the people became even stronger.

When Feng Jin heard about this, her admiration for Pei Xiu increased.

Pei Xiu deserved to be the Prime Minister of a country. She was very glad that she wrote that letter to Pei Xiu in the first place, avoiding a situation where both sides suffered.

Pei Xiu was submissive, whether it was the best choice for both of them, or for the stability of Da Zhou's country.

In July, there is fire, in August, when it is young, in September, clothes are given, and in October, crickets enter my bed.

When the matter is fully settled, it will be the season of dressing in September.

Due to the drought, the palace just made simple arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Feng Jin only drank a few glasses of wine with the courtiers, and then went back to the palace to rest.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather turns cooler, and the autumn wind blows, and the sky suddenly becomes colder.

Feng Jin was still reviewing memorials in the imperial study room every night, and slept less than two hours a day. There were rumors in the court that His Majesty was too attached to power and was unwilling to let go.

No one knew, Feng Jin just wanted to find something to do, get busy so that he could forget Wuming.

On this day, after Feng Jin finished reviewing the memorial, the time had passed.

Aunt Zhong waited on her side, seeing Feng Jin put down her imperial brush, she hurried forward to serve her, "Your Majesty, go back to the palace to rest, there are still two hours before the court, Your Majesty can still meet."

Feng Jin glanced at the brand new jacket she was wearing, "New?"

Aunt Zhong smiled, "The girl in green made it for the slaves, and also made two for Your Majesty."

The girl in green is very good, many of Feng Jin's intimate clothes are made by her.

"Li Si, what do you mean by giving clothes in September?"

Feng Jin called Aunt Zhong's name, and Aunt Zhong smiled and replied, "Probably to remind people that the weather is turning cold, so pay attention to adding clothes, and remind the women in the backyard that it's time to cut cold clothes for your husband and the people outside."

"Li Si, have you cut cold clothes for him?"

Aunt Zhong thought for a while before she realized who Feng Jin was referring to as "he". She twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled, but that smile was a bit sad.

"Naturally, I have done it. My servant and his childhood sweetheart have been engaged since childhood. Since my servant knew how to tailor clothes, his winter clothes have been made by my servant. When I was 14 years old, the date of marriage was set, and my servant was at home to make the dowry. , I helped him make more than a dozen bodies, but it's a pity..."

It's a pity that he went there before she got through the door. Where did the dozen or so cold clothes end up? She cried day and night sadly, crying until she was almost blind, and she didn't have the heart to think about it.

"Li Si, you will meet the right person. If you find someone you like, you can marry if you want."

Aunt Zhong lowered her eyes to hide the coolness in her eyes, "This servant is old and doesn't want to remarry, so I will serve His Majesty until I die in the palace."

"You're only 21, and you're just at the right age. How old are you? If Luyi has a sweetheart, I will prepare a dowry for her, and you will be the same..."

Seeing Aunt Zhong's expression of not wanting to talk anymore, Feng Jin sighed in her heart and changed the subject, "I also want to learn how to tailor clothes, so teach me."

"Who does His Majesty want to do it for?"

Feng Jin said nothing, Aunt Zhong looked at the blue shadows under her eyes, and sighed, "Your Majesty, reviewing the memorials and dealing with the government affairs is enough work."

Feng Jin was silent for a long time, and then quietly said a sentence without beginning and end, "The night in this palace is too long."
