Chapter 122 Huizhou

On the day Teng Yu set off, it was cold in spring, and there was a light snowfall at night, but another memorial from Huizhou came before he left, stating that the disaster had become more serious.

The emperor then issued an imperial edict to him, ordering him to arrive in Huizhou within three days and not to delay on the way.

But even if the road is unimpeded, it will take three days to ride a fast horse from Kyoto to Huizhou, not to mention that the road is covered with snow now, and it must not be fast.

At the gate of the city, Teng Yu got out of the carriage and changed to a fast horse, and said to Yin Xu in the carriage, "I'll go ahead, take your time in the carriage."

Yin Xu was afraid of the cold. Originally Teng Yu didn't want Yin Xu to go with him. This time going to Huizhou will definitely encounter many obstacles. It's fine to do the dangerous things by yourself.

However, Yin Xu is not a person who is afraid of danger. On the contrary, he felt that his life was too comfortable during this period, which was not conducive to the growth of his skills, so he used the excuse of his unhealed injury to postpone the day when he took office. Follow Teng Yu to Huizhou.

Moreover, Wei Zian was also in Huizhou. The young master of the Wei family who was rescued by him didn't know how things were going. Ever since he knew that the Wei family had a great career, Yin Xu had made up his mind to keep Wei Zi'an firmly in his hands. Selling the warehouse of the Third Prince's Mansion will bring in much faster money.

Yin Xu got out of the carriage, jumped straight onto Teng Yu's horse, sat behind him and put his arms around his waist, wrapped himself in fox fur tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Let's go."

Teng Yu didn't insist either, but luckily the two of them didn't mess around last night, otherwise letting Yin Xu ride a horse would have killed him.

Teng Yu brought more than a dozen confidants, Yin Xu only brought Ding Yibaoer, all of them were first-class fighting power, in case of danger, self-protection would not be a problem.

Three nights later, the group finally saw the city gate of Huizhou. Huizhou has been an important city in the north since ancient times. The city walls are tall and thick, and it is also a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But at this time, the gates of the city were closed tightly, and there were no soldiers watching the night on the wall, and the whole city was unbelievably quiet.

Ding went up to knock on the door, the night in Huizhou was really cold, they had been driving for three days, and they were cold and hungry at this time, so they couldn't bear to be wronged for another night outside the city.

It took a long time before there was any movement inside the city gate, "Who is outside? I don't know if it's past the time to enter the city? I need to enter the city early tomorrow!"

Ding Yi continued to knock on the door, "Open the door, the imperial envoy is here, please inform your magistrate to go!"

When the people inside the door heard this, they opened the door without the slightest doubt, because they had been told by the superiors that it was almost time for the people sent by the imperial court to arrive.

What's more, now Huizhou is a troubled city, and generally no one will come here to take advantage of it.

The soldier who guarded the gate was wrapped in a ripped cotton coat and opened the city gate. Before he could see clearly, he knelt down on the ground, "I don't know if the villain is an imperial envoy, but I hope you will forgive me if I offend you."

"Get up, take us to the magistrate's yamen first." Teng Yu held the hand on his chest, although it was tightly wrapped, he could still feel the chill on Yin Xu's body.

"Yes...all adults, please go with me." The soldier trotted to lead the way, and the Huizhou prefect, who got the news first, also hurriedly got up from the bed and waited outside the door with his servants.

According to the aides of the Third Prince's Mansion, the third prince's first mission should be done as perfectly as possible, so it is suggested that he go on inspections in a low-level suit, and deal with the government after finding out the truth, so that he won't be easily fooled by those shrewd guys.

Teng Yu also thought so at first, but he gave up this idea when he knew that the situation in Huizhou was urgent. The time was limited, and there was no time for him to investigate slowly.

Moreover, there is no shortage of information about this Huizhou official in his mansion. Compared with the colorful intestines in the rich and prosperous south, the north has always been much cleaner, and it is not easy to fool him.

The prefect of Huizhou was the number one scholar in Dechang five years. Teng Yu remembered that although he was young at that time, he often followed the emperor, so he had seen this person. The reason why he remembered it was because the number one scholar had an amazing face.

It is said that this person's mother used to be the most prestigious oiran in Jiangnan area, and his father was a famous gentleman in Jiangnan area. The oiran fell in love with the scholar at first sight, and used the wealth he had accumulated over the years to redeem himself, and still worked with the scholar. concubine.

And this No. [-] scholar looks like his mother. He has been intelligent since he was a child.

Teng Yu sat on horseback and looked at the man standing outside the gate of the mansion. The dim light of the lantern shone on his face. Although he was old, he was still plump and handsome, with a jade face like a crown. The slag didn't have time to clean up, and his expression was a little tired, which might be more eye-catching.

This outstanding magistrate is surnamed Yu Mingxue. According to the information presented to Teng Yu, this person's political achievements are not very outstanding, but there is not much fault.

The last time they passed by Huizhou, Yu Xue was not very willing to receive him when he was received, and the gifts were not generous, but they did not sue him afterwards.

"My minister kowtowed to His Highness the Third Highness in the school."

"Calm down, it's getting late, rest first, we'll talk about things tomorrow."

"It should be." Yu Xue looked at the group of people rushing here, and it would be a lie to say that he was not surprised. He only received the order from the court in the evening, saying that the third prince was sent to rescue the disaster.

At that time, his heart was cold, thinking of the behavior of the third prince last time, how could he be expected to really do things and plead for the people?

And when he came, the day lily was cold, Yu Xuezhong was really in a bad mood at that time.

So he didn't close his eyes all night, his mind was full of thoughts on how to get the food and silver out of the hands of the third prince.

Unexpectedly, before he could come up with a countermeasure, someone came to report that the imperial envoy of the imperial court had arrived.

How is this possible? It's only been three days since he set off, even if he rode a fast horse, he might not be able to get there. He didn't believe it at all, but he dressed up and went out, thinking that if someone pretended to be the third prince, he would definitely be punished on the spot. .

When Yu Xuezhong got up, his face was still full of shock, and he couldn't help but take another look at the third prince. Although his face was still the same, he always felt that there was something different about the third prince.

"Your Highness really should have a good rest after coming all the way, please come with me." Arranging him at the place where he lived last time, Yu Xuezhong returned to his room full of doubts.

His wife came in, untied the cloak on his body, and asked sadly: "Husband, why did the court send the third prince here? How can he help?"

Yu Xuezhong held his wife's hand and sighed, "I don't know, I'll wait until tomorrow to see it, if it doesn't work, I can only continue playing."

With the reputation of the third prince, he really didn't expect much.

"You've been too busy these days, go and rest now." Yu Xuezhong patted his wife's hand, his eyes full of respect for her.

Probably influenced by his mother, Yu Xue yearned for simple feelings. After getting married, he never took a concubine and respected his wife very much.

And his wife is just the daughter of an ordinary scholar. She is knowledgeable and kind. These days, she even organizes the wives of Huizhou to give porridge in the city, which not only makes him famous, but also helps him a lot.

After a good night's sleep, the couple woke up before dawn. One wanted to discuss with his staff how to entertain the third prince, and the other wanted to get up to prepare the third prince's breakfast.

There is still a state capital waiting for them to resettle. This must be another busy day.

Teng Yu and Yin Xu also woke up early in the morning. There was the sound of people walking in the yard, but they deliberately lightened their steps, obviously they had been specially ordered.

Teng Yu pulled out the arm that Yin Xu had been sleeping on for the middle of the night, and pulled the quilt for him, "You don't have to go out with me today, just sleep again."

Yin Xu turned over, "It's up to you, anyway, I have my own business and I don't have time to follow you."

Only now did Teng Yu realize that Yin Xu didn't come here specially to accompany him, and suddenly an indescribable feeling surged up in his heart, he patted Yin Xu on the back and said: "Then leave a few more people for you, remember to leave when you go out Be careful, Huizhou must be in chaos at this time."

After Teng Yu got up and freshened up, he asked someone to take him to Yu Xuezhong's study room. They walked along the way and found a lot of scattered settlements along the way. Unfortunately, they were either dilapidated temples or incomplete ones. The broken house can't prevent the cold at all.

After entering the city, they also saw many refugee gathering places. They could only huddle together in the cold at night, and groans could be heard from time to time.

In such a situation, it would be impossible to know how many more people would die after one more day. Even though Teng Yu had no sympathy, he also knew that the situation was urgent.

Yu Xuezhong hurriedly greeted him, probably because Teng Yu came early, so his expression was a little excited, and he even dragged him to talk about the situation in Huizhou without shy away from the presence of his staff.
