Chapter 319 Return to Beijing

Because of the assassin incident, Yuan Ziyou was worried, so he specially prepared several bottles of sleeping pills for Huo Xifei, and told him that if there were any more assassins coming, just use the sleeping pills!

Still feeling uneasy, he fed Huo Xifei spiritual spring water several times a day to ensure that he would not be drugged by the assassin. Only then did he feel more at ease.

Sure enough, a few days later, two or three more groups of assassins came, each with more people than the last, with the largest group having more than thirty or forty people.

Fortunately, Huo Xifei had the sleeping pills prepared by Yuan Ziyu with him, and he also used the spiritual spring water. The assassins who came to assassinate Huo Xifei failed once and all died here.

Yuan Ziyu was extremely angry and hated Liu Heng to the core. If he were an ordinary person, how could he have a chance of survival with thirty or forty assassins?

Thinking of this, Yuan Ziyu's murderous intent became even stronger!

When they arrived at Qianjiang Prefecture, Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu originally thought that they would see the tragic situation of starving people everywhere. However, as they walked along, they found that although there were victims of the disaster, they did not look miserable at all. Instead, they had expectations and joy on their faces.

"Pingshan, go and ask about the situation!" Huo Xifei ordered.

"yes!"

Pingshan took the order and left. He returned shortly afterwards and reported, "Your Highness, I went to ask around and learned that these disaster victims were going to nearby towns. I heard that Magistrate Hu sent someone to coordinate the movement of disaster victims between the various towns. This not only ensured that the towns wouldn't be in chaos due to the large number of disaster victims, but also ensured that the victims could be properly resettled!"

"Oh!" Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seemed that the County Magistrate Hu was quite insightful and acted very prudently. Judging from the appearance of these disaster victims, they were indeed not as miserable as imagined!

"What about the situation in Qianjiang? Have you found out?" Huo Xifei asked again.

"Yes, I found out!" Pingshan said hurriedly. "According to the victims, as soon as the rain started, County Magistrate Hu organized people to reinforce the river bank and evacuate the villagers. So, although the Qianjiang River eventually broke due to heavy rain, the casualties were very small. Moreover, because the villagers left early and had stored surplus food, other than houses and fields, the other losses were not great!"

Yuan Ziyou was amazed when he heard this: "It's rare to see such foresight from this Hu County Magistrate!"

Huo Xifei nodded and said, "Indeed, if the governors of other prefectures and counties could be as capable as Governor Hu, this flood wouldn't have resulted in so many casualties!"

Thinking of the situations he had seen in several prefectures and counties before, Yuan Ziyu sighed. After all, there were too few officials like County Magistrate Hu in the Dali Dynasty!

Since Hu Junshou governed Qianjiang Prefecture very well, Huo Xifei had no intention of showing up. He only ordered Pingshan to take his men to rest in a town, and he and Yuan Ziyu quietly went to the capital of Qianjiang Prefecture.

In the provincial capital, Huo Xifei witnessed the local situation with his own eyes and was extremely satisfied. He then quietly returned to the town with Yuan Ziyu.

Next, Huo Xifei and his party traveled south to several prefectures and counties. Whenever they encountered foolish and domineering county governors, they would punish them vigorously. If they encountered someone like County Governor Hu who loved the people like his own children, they would quietly take note of him.

So, another two months passed!

Two months later, Huo Xifei and his entourage appeared on the official road near the capital, looking exhausted.

At this time, except for the daily dry food, all other rice, grains and medicinal materials in the caravan had been used up.

It is early autumn now, the weather is much cooler and the rain has gradually stopped. On the way back to Beijing, I saw the victims being properly resettled one by one, and the order was quite good.

Yuan Ziyou rode his horse alongside Huo Xifei and whispered to him, "Brother Xi, I wonder how worried Liu Heng will be when you come back this time!"

Huo Xifei smiled and said, "Now that we're back, his good days are over!"

"That's right!" Yuan Ziyu raised the corner of his lips: "His good days are about to end!"

After saying that, Yuan Ziyou said to Huo Xifei, "Brother Xi, just do whatever you want to do first. I will wait for you to deal with the affairs of Yukang Mansion, and then I will act according to my own plan!"

Yuan Ziyu wanted to kill Tutor Liu, but she didn't want him to die so easily. Since he claimed to be upright, she would skin him alive!

During these two months, Huo Xifei encountered assassination attempts continuously. The assassins who came to assassinate Huo Xifei came one after another, and the number became more and more frequent, as if there was no end!

It can be seen that Master Liu is anxious!

Tutor Liu was indeed anxious!

He had never been so anxious and helpless in all these years. He couldn't understand why they couldn't kill Huo Xifei after sending out so many groups of assassins, each with more people than the last.

Now, not only have there been no news from those assassins, but Huo Xifei is also about to go to Beijing!

If Huo Xifei came to the capital, the affairs of Yukang Mansion would surely be exposed. Although it would not lead to the emperor demoting him all at once, it was a serious matter. If it was exposed, I am afraid that life would be difficult for him, the prince, and the empress in the palace!

One day, the emperor will definitely take this opportunity to teach him a lesson!

However, now is not a good time to take action. Everything is not yet fully prepared. If we act rashly, we may fail.

what to do?

Taifu Liu gritted his teeth in hatred. He knew very well that if Huo Xifei didn't die, when he returned to the capital and found out that he was the one who sent people to assassinate him, it would definitely be a fight to the death!

Although Taifu Liu was the brother of Concubine Liu and had the title of royal relative, he was still a little scared to openly confront the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion.

Firstly, Taifu Liu has always cultivated a good reputation for being upright and honest, and he is also very careful about his reputation. If he were to openly confront the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion, it would be a fatal blow to his reputation. If he were to start a rebellion in the future, he would probably be rejected by the people. After all, everyone knows that the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion has always been loyal to the emperor, and has produced heroes from generation to generation, and has made numerous military exploits. Such achievements cannot be erased by just a few words from him, Liu Heng.

Secondly, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Yuan Mansion are related by marriage. If the Su family's affairs are involved again, I am afraid the emperor will really take action against him. After all, no one can tolerate being blind and misjudging someone for many years, let alone that the person is the emperor.

But……

Tutor Liu paced back and forth in the study, frowning tightly. He couldn't kill Huo Xifei, and how come he couldn't even find any trace of Jiao Haixing?

Where did Huo Xifei hide Jiao Haixing?

Xuanyuan Xiao sat on the chair and sighed: "Uncle, please stop turning around. I'm feeling dizzy!"

"Hey, Your Highness!" Upon hearing this, Imperial Tutor Liu had no choice but to sit down. "Now that Huo Xifei is about to enter the capital, I'm afraid things will be troublesome from now on!"

"I know!" Xuanyuan Xiao said impatiently, "How come Huo Xifei is so lucky?"
