Huangfu Jin nodded slightly, "I wonder if they have reported this matter to the court."
If it had been reported, those officials would definitely not report it truthfully. They would only cover up their mistakes and attribute all the blame to the mob and Yue Shaochen for causing rebellion and intending to rebel.
If the emperor believes it, it will be troublesome. Even if Huangfu Jue is willing to believe it after he explains it, there will be estrangement and suspicion between him and Yue Shaochen in the future, which is not conducive to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Su Mo analyzed: "Brother Jin, you don't have to worry. According to my speculation, I think the local officials have not reported it yet. They must want to suppress it locally. If they can catch Yue Shaochen, they will take credit and accuse him of treason.
He has been caught. If we kill him, it can also be said that he intended to rebel and has now been brought to justice. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. It is very easy for them to conceal the information. Officials protect each other, and the superiors will conceal it for them. Therefore, we also have enough time to find it.
Yue Shaochen gave the emperor some advice."
She always gets to the point of the problem. Huangfujin smiled at her and said, "That's it."
They must first investigate the cause of the incident, know the cause of the accident, and be aware of it, so that they can give the emperor some advice.
Whether you argue in advance or later, you can always make a strong and powerful argument.
Otherwise, if you intercede with him based on your identity as a prince, it will only make the emperor suspect that they have some collusion.
Su Mo told Lan Ruo: "Go and leave a signal for Ali and ask him to come over as quickly as possible."
Nowadays, Su Mo and his men can deliver information at a speed that even the imperial court can't match. They used various means to deliver the news in the middle of the night. Very early the next day, Ali appeared in Su Mo's house wearing a black tights.
outside the tent.
Lan Ruo turned on the oil lamp, let Ali in, and then went to invite Huangfujin.
Huangfujin didn't sleep all night, but he meditated briefly for two hours. Liuhuo brought some clothes for him to change.
As soon as Lan Ru finished reporting, Yue Feng'er stumbled over and ran into Huangfujin's tent, with tears on her face, "Your Majesty, I, I dreamed about my brother. He, he was covered in blood. Please save me, Your Majesty."
he."
Huangfu Jin comforted her and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely find him. You go and rest first. We will tell you any good news."
He signaled Lan Ruo to send Yue Feng'er back to her tent, and then brought Liu Huo to meet Su Mo and others.
Su Mo glanced at him and said with a smile: "Brother Jin needs time to dress up now."
Huangfu Jin knew that she was teasing him and didn't take it seriously, "Feng'er came over just now and said he was worried about Yue Shaochen, so he comforted her."
Su Mo smiled and said to Ali: "First send someone to find out what happened in the salt field. You must know the truth, no matter what means are used. It would be better if there are people involved."
Ali said: "Yes, miss."
Huangfu Jin said: "If you encounter any trouble, you might as well show the royal seal."
Huangfu Jin is now the King of Qi. He was granted by the late Emperor the right to supervise all local officials, and has the power to kill first and report later. This can be regarded as an independent right to assist the new Emperor.
Huangfu Jin didn't want to use it, for fear of arousing Huangfu Jue's suspicion. More importantly, he also wanted to go to Xiaoyao with Mo'er, regardless of the trivial matters here.
It's just that it's unusual now, so it's an expedient solution to use it temporarily.
After Ali left, we could only wait for news. When we first came here, we neither understood the local customs nor the inside story.
