If this is the case in Shuntian Prefecture, what about other places?
After the refugees passed by, Zhu Youxiao's convoy continued to move forward.
Zhu Youxiao sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the refugees passing by from time to time outside, feeling very uncomfortable.
When Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian saw Zhu Youxiao's expression, they didn't dare to speak for a moment.
The atmosphere was very good just now, but now they both knew that His Majesty was angry, so they became more cautious, fearing to anger Zhu Youxiao.
The convoy soon arrived in Xianghe County, which was not far away.
At sunset, the group officially entered Xianghe County and booked an entire inn.
After being busy for a long time, they finally settled down when it was time to light the lamps.
After a simple dinner, Zhu Youxiao went to rest.
He was very upset by what he had encountered along the way, and he had no intention of doing anything else that night. He had to go out early the next morning, so he went to bed early.
The next morning, Zhu Youxiao got up as soon as it was light.
After practicing a set of sword techniques in the yard, Zhu Youxiao had breakfast and prepared to go out.
Wei Chao and others had already made preparations, and Liu Xian had arranged everything.
Qi Yuangong also brought his men to protect Zhu Youxiao.
After leaving the inn, the group strolled along the street.
Zhu Youxiao was dressed like a young man from a wealthy family, playing with a folding fan in his hand, looking like someone who was traveling and sightseeing.
The streets were bustling with activity, and there seemed nothing unusual. There wasn't even a beggar on the street; it looked quite normal.
Zhu Youxiao looked around and frowned as he said, "See if there are any Jinyiwei people here. Ask them."
"Sir, there is a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard here, just two streets over." Liu Xian said hurriedly.
For them, his subordinates, the emperor went to bed early last night, but they did not.
They had already done their homework last night, investigating the situation and checking the personnel. Serving by the emperor's side, one must be mindful of this.
"Then let's go to the Jinyiwei Yamen." Zhu Youxiao said directly.
He didn't have the patience to go on an incognito tour or ask anyone, so he went directly to ask the Jinyiwei.
"Yes, sir." Everyone said in unison.
For people like them, whatever the emperor says is what it is, and they don't need to have their own opinions.
The group soon arrived at the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Xianghe County is not a big county, and the Jinyiwei Yamen here is not very luxurious. It looks like an ordinary courtyard.
The sign at the door read "Jinyiwei Yamen". The surrounding streets were also empty and no one wanted to walk through here.
Apparently, the Jinyiwei's reputation was still as bad as ever, and even then, it still hadn't changed. But it didn't matter; their reputation didn't need to be too good.
Arriving at the gate of the Jinyiwei Yamen, Wei Chao came forward, waved a token in his hand at the Jinyiwei at the gate and said, "Let your captain come out to answer."
The two Jinyiwei standing at the door looked at each other, then looked at the sign at the same time, their faces turned pale and they shuddered.
There are few words on the sign, but they speak volumes.
Jinyiwei Nanzhenfu Division.
These few words really speak volumes.
Within the Imperial Guard, the Northern Pacification Division was responsible for external affairs, while the Southern Pacification Division was responsible for internal affairs. Any violations of law or corruption involving the Imperial Guard fell under the jurisdiction of the Southern Pacification Division.
For the Jinyiwei below, this sign is very intimidating.
"Sir, please wait a moment." The two Jinyiwei standing at the door quickly forced a smile and said very respectfully, "We will report to you immediately."
After saying that, a Jinyiwei turned around and ran in in two steps.
In the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Captain Ma Qiandao was sitting in a chair and drinking tea slowly.
Seeing Menzi running in breathlessly, Ma Qiandao said impatiently: "What's the matter? Look at you guys, why are you running away? Did someone die in your family?"
Menzi was somewhat frustrated by this, but he still said, "Sir, something has happened. A group of people have come to the door, and the leader is holding a sign from the Southern Pacification Office, and they want to see you."
After hearing this, Ma Qiandao got a mouthful of tea stalks stuck in his throat and jumped up from his chair.
