The two imperial envoys who were ordered to investigate greeted the Crown Prince and the Prince of Yan, and asked Minister Zhao directly: "Master Zhao, you said in your report that only a few dozen people were injured or killed in Jinli Town. The Emperor sent us here to understand the specific situation. Why is it that the number of casualties in Jinli Town is so small even though all the houses were destroyed in an earthquake?

Minister Zhao glanced at Yu Jin and said, "You two dear officers may not know that the number of casualties in Jinli Town is so small, thanks to your Majesty!"

King of Yan?

The two immediately looked at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin's expression was indifferent, and no clues could be seen.

Minister Zhao explained: "Your Highness and the prince originally lived in Jinli Town. As a result, a god appeared in the prince's dream that night and warned him that an earthquake was about to occur in Jinli Town. The next day, the prince persuaded the people in the town to move out, which saved the people from this disaster..."

Inspector Yu Shi and Xiao Lezi looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

How could such a miraculous thing happen?

Supervisor Yu Shi was a student of the imperial examinations and did not believe in these things. After recovering from his shock, he said calmly, "Master Zhao, please take me to the town to have a look."

Xiao Lezi looked at Yu Jin a few more times.

The god gave King Yan a warning?

Is it the deity who is not particular, or is it the Prince of Yan who is not particular? How could he bypass the Crown Prince?

Out of curiosity, I secretly glanced at the prince and saw an unhappy face.

Xiao Lezi sighed in his heart and became more curious.

I really don't know why these people all said in unison that the gods had given the Prince of Yan a warning. How can the prince save his face?

The prince was indeed regretting for the hundredth time at this moment.

It is a great pity that we missed such a glorious opportunity!

It’s a pity that the news that the god had entered Lao Qi’s dream to warn him had already spread, so it was difficult for him to take credit for it.

But - humph, Minister Zhao dared to lie in front of the patrol officers. This is deceiving the emperor. He will tell his father about it later!

It took Inspector Yu Shi and others nearly two days to rush here from the capital, and by then Emperor Jingming had already received the second report sent by Minister Zhao.

The letters sent out 800 miles in an expedited manner are of course much faster than those sent by normal teams.

With more time, the report was much longer, detailing how Yu Jin used the words of a god appearing in a dream to warn the people and persuaded them to leave, thus avoiding a large number of casualties. In fact, the reason why the King of Yan could predict the earthquake in advance was because of the fifth-rank big dog Xiaotian General.

Emperor Jingming held the thick report in his hand, feeling surprised and relieved.

It is surprising that a dog can predict earthquakes, but fortunately, the people of Jinli Town were able to escape the disaster, and the prince and others were also safe.

If the prince and his men continue to live in the town, the consequences will be disastrous...

Emperor Jingming shuddered and thought to himself: When the prince and his entourage return to the capital, I will definitely ask them which idiot proposed to live in Jinli Town. He is such a jinx!

Emperor Jingming secretly noted this account and said to Pan Hai, "Do you still remember the title of General Xiaotian that I conferred upon you several years ago?"

Pan Hai was slightly startled: "Are you talking about the big dog that King Yan raised?"

Emperor Jingming glanced at him and corrected him, "He is also an official appointed by the court."

Pan Hai's mouth twitched, and he smiled and said, "I was wrong. I forgot the contribution of General Xiaotian for a moment."

Emperor Jingming put the report down and sighed, "I am so sorry for this time, my dear minister Xiao. When they return to the capital, I will summon General Xiaotian to the palace to see him."

Oh, my dear?

Pan Hai's eyelids trembled, but he didn't dare to laugh. He complimented him, "It is because of the emperor's benevolence that such a brave general Xiaotian appeared in the world. General Xiaotian is just like the top scholar who won the top three prizes in the imperial examination last year. They are both auspicious signs for our dynasty."

Emperor Jingming nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

There are too many bad things, the more auspicious things the better.

But - why did the auspicious sign appear with the seventh brother?

This thought flashed through his mind, but was suppressed by Emperor Jingming.

No matter what, saving so many people is a great thing and we must reward them in the future.

"Pan Hai, do you think it's time to mention General Xiaotian's official position?"

Pan Hai bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

It's just a dog after all, and the emperor has the final say.

Under the leadership of Minister Zhao and others, Inspector Yu Shi and Xiao Lezi saw Jinli Town after the earthquake.

Xiao Lezi opened his mouth in shock: "Is it so serious?"

Supervisor Yu Shi's forehead was covered with sweat. He asked in a loud voice: "Are there really only a few dozen casualties?"

Minister Zhao said: "Sixty-one people died and one survived. Twenty-three bodies have been cleared so far, and it will be very difficult to clean up the remaining bodies..."

"Where are the survivors?" By this time, Supervisory Officer Su Shi had no doubt about the severity of the earthquake.

The earthquake occurred in the middle of the night when people were fast asleep. If the people were in the town at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Minister Zhao said, "The survivor is a three-year-old girl who was rescued by the prince himself. She has been sent to Wuji Town and is being cared for by a doctor. If the imperial envoy wants to see her, he can see her when he returns to Wuji Town."

Supervisor Yu Shi nodded, shifted his gaze from the devastated ruins, and said to Minister Zhao, "Don't rush back yet. I want to see how the people in Jinli Town who were affected by the disaster are being resettled."

Although the rank of the Supervisory Censor is low, he has great power. Especially this kind of Supervisory Censor who travels under the imperial order, he must not be offended.

Of course, eunuchs like Xiao Lezi are even more unacceptable to offend.

Minister Zhao personally led the two imperial emissaries to the temporary settlement of the people of Jinli Town.

"Master Zhao, please go and do your work. I will just take a walk."

Minister Zhao indeed had many things to arrange, and he knew that the Inspector Yu Shi wanted to bypass him to investigate the situation, so he tactfully avoided him.

These days he feels that he has nothing to regret and has done his best, and he is not afraid of anyone investigating.

What Inspector Yu Shi wanted to investigate was certainly not Minister Zhao, but the incident in which the divine man appeared in Prince Yan's dream to warn him.

Even though it was such a bizarre thing, he still had doubts.

He stopped a random civilian and asked, "Are you from Jinli Town?"

Having seen many officials these days, even the prince, the old man no longer had much fear. Hearing this, he replied, "Of course, except for the adults, everyone here is from our town."

"Excuse me, uncle, why did you move out of town before the earthquake?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed in a certain direction.

This reaction made Inspector Yu Shi stunned, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Lezi.

What is happening?

If you are afraid of meeting an official, you should kowtow at the beginning. Isn't this reaction a little slow?

Besides, the direction is wrong.

The old man got up, wiped his eyes and said, "Don't blame me, sir. I was so excited when you asked me this. It's all thanks to you that we were able to evacuate these people in our town in advance..."

After listening to the old man praising the King of Yan for a quarter of an hour, Supervisor Yu Shiren could no longer bear it and waved his hand: "Old man, you can go back to your work."

As soon as the old man left, Inspector Yu Shi and Xiao Lezi looked at each other and thought at the same time: After this incident, the good name of King Yan will probably spread throughout the world.
