Chapter 790 The Emperor Vomited Blood
Huangjiang City is where the gold mines of Zhao State are found.
Most of Zhao's gold was mined from that place.
Huangshan is a gold mine, and a city called Huangjiang City was built not far from Huangshan.
Huangjiang City has always been heavily guarded and nothing has happened there, but just a few days ago, the Huangshan mine collapsed, killing and injuring countless people.
On the second day after the accident at Huangshan Mine, a fire suddenly broke out in the barracks guarding the mine, burning and killing many soldiers in their sleep.
The treasury in Huangjiang City was robbed, and not a single piece of the latest batch of gold nuggets that had just been mined and purified was left.
The emperor had been waiting for this batch of gold, but now he says that not a single piece of it is left.
When the urgent news reached the capital, the emperor was still thinking about how to remove Prince Jun's mask.
Upon hearing the content of the urgent report, the emperor's head buzzed and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Your Majesty!" The eunuch was horrified.
The emperor's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground without even being able to utter a word.
"Quickly call the imperial physician!"
The atmosphere in the capital suddenly became tense.
Many people didn't know what was going on, but they clearly felt that something was wrong.
The officials were all trying to find out what had happened, because the emperor sent a team of his most trusted elite soldiers out of the city in a hurry while it was still dawn.
The cavalrymen who were delivering the imperial edict galloped through the long street, the sound of their hooves so urgent that it was hard to breathe. And within half an hour, another cavalryman left the city again.
This kind of atmosphere made the people feel a little panicked.
Many people were quietly asking what had happened and what had happened.
Several local officials in the north that were hit by snowstorms at the end of the year were also urging for disaster relief silver. The disaster there was severe, many houses collapsed under the snow, many people froze to death, there was no harvest in the fields, the people had no cotton clothes, and nowhere to go, and people froze to death on the roadside every day.
The disaster relief money from the capital had not been delivered yet, and the officers and soldiers there could no longer bear it.
The emperor had been waiting for the gold from Huangjiang City, but now he says that the gold has been robbed.
This is simply, simply unbelievable.
"Who is so bold?"
After learning about this, Fu Zhaoning couldn't believe it.
"Robbering the gold mines! Who is so capable? Isn't it said that the place is heavily guarded? How could the barracks be burned down so easily? And it's not easy to transport the gold out, right?"
Xiao Lanyuan was looking at the information.
He looked solemn.
"Because we just encountered a mine disaster. A mine collapse is a big deal. If there are heavy casualties, the barracks will definitely have to send troops to the mine, and the vault's defense will be vulnerable."
"You mean, the mine accident was man-made?" Fu Zhaoning couldn't believe it.
Man-made mining disaster?
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.”
"Who is so stupid? The mine collapsed, delaying future mining. Compared with the gold that was just mined, the loss is greater! Moreover, the miners were killed and injured heavily. Will there be anyone to mine in the future?"
"What if the other party is not from Zhao?" Xiao Lanyuan asked back.
Fu Zhaoning was stunned.
"If you are not from Zhao, you will not care about the lives of these miners, because you can only rob the gold once at most. You will not be able to rob again after you are prepared. Therefore, casualties do not matter to them. Whether they can mine in the future is also irrelevant to them. What they want is this batch of gold, and they also want to make Zhao suffer this loss."
"But if they weren't from Zhao Country, who could have caused such a big commotion?"
Fu Zhaoning took a deep breath. She was angry about this kind of thing. Because many people were killed or injured. She heard that there were really many miners at the Huangshan Mine.
Those are innocent lives.
"It's not easy to make a mine collapse, and it can't be done in a few days. You prepared such a big thing just to grab some gold?"
"Maybe the other party is not only after gold?"
Xiao Lanyuan looked at Fu Zhaoning, and seeing that she was frowning, his heart softened, and he reached out to smooth her brows.
"Okay, Ningning, things have already happened. These are not what you should worry about. Aren't you going to see Mr. Ji? Go ahead."
Fu Zhaoning had previously told Dong Huanzhi that she needed a batch of medicinal herbs and gave him two days to prepare them. They should be ready now, and she was going to take people to get them back.
The things happening at Huangshan Mine were indeed not something she could worry about.
She sighed, "Okay then, I'll go find my master, don't get tired."
Fu Zhaoning also knew that although she didn't have to worry about this matter and it was useless for her to worry about it, Xiao Lanyuan would definitely go and investigate.
"good."
Xiao Lanyuan was originally waiting for the emperor to come up with something to deal with him, but then the incident at the Huangshan Mine happened. He was afraid that the emperor didn't have the energy to deal with him for the time being and had to deal with the things over there first.
When Fu Zhaoning arrived at the Medicine Alliance and just got off the carriage, he saw several carriages parked outside the Medicine Alliance.
The carriages were beautifully decorated, and just by looking at the flower-wrapped curtains and the fluttering tassels you could tell that they were carriages for the girls.
She was a little surprised. Most of the visitors to the Medicine Alliance were doctors, shop owners and waiters, and purchasing managers of some wealthy families. Young girls basically never came here. Why were there so many girls' carriages now?
While she was surprised, another carriage came. The wind blew over, bringing a smell of powder, and she almost sneezed.
I don’t know who is sitting in the carriage. How much rouge must have been used? It would be enough to choke someone to death.
The carriage stopped in front of her and the people in the carriage lifted the curtain.
Fu Zhaoning took a look and asked, huh?
Yun Shu.
Yun Shu is still hanging around in Beijing?
Yun Shu also saw Fu Zhaoning and her expression changed suddenly.
"Why are you here?" she blurted out.
Fu Zhaoning smiled and said, "You can come here, but I can't? I'm from the Medicine Alliance."
It is only natural for her to come to the Medicine Alliance.
Yun Shu got off the carriage, and Fu Zhaoning looked at her, his eyes falling on her neck. There seemed to be something in her collar——
Noticing her gaze, Yun Shu subconsciously moved to the side to avoid her and pulled up her collar, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Are you sick?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
She seemed to see a few red bean-sized spots of medicine on Yun Shu's neck.
Yun Shu said quickly, "Who is sick? I'm not sick!"
"Really? I thought you got sick when you went to the prison." Fu Zhaoning raised his eyebrows.
"Don't talk nonsense! You stayed in the prison for a few days without getting sick, how could I be infected with the disease?"
Yun Shu glared at her and hurried into the gate of the Medicine Alliance.
Fu Zhaoning looked at her back and walked in.
The manager of the Medicine Alliance came over. "Princess Jun, the herbs you requested are ready. Can I have someone bring them out?"
From what he said, Fu Zhaoning thought he wanted her to wait here and not go in?
