The entire post station was filled with a murderous atmosphere, and there was a hand-to-hand fight.
After half an hour, he stopped. Gu Jinyan had Long Wu by his side, so she didn't need to do anything.
As for the others, because the secret guards were very skilled, no one on their side died. However, a few of the guards arranged by the Gu family were injured. Gu Jinyan asked them to take medicine and rest.
The inn is quite safe now.
"Princess, do you want to change a place to rest?" Long Wu asked.
Gu Jinyan actually didn't like the smell of blood here, but it was dark at the moment and he might not be able to rest until dawn after all the work.
So he shook his head: "Let's just stay here. Everyone, let's take a rest. We'll set off at dawn tomorrow. Let's work hard during this period."
"Yes." Long Wu made arrangements.
Gu Jinyan moved to another room and was really tired now, so he lay down and fell asleep.
There shouldn't be any more problems in the second half of the night.
After this time, Gu Jinyan could probably guess that these hands should be Gu Jinyu's. If they could go further, Gu Jinyu's hands wouldn't be able to reach that long, so there would be no need for such trouble.
Gu Jinyan woke up early the next day.
There was no maid around to serve her, so she simply washed herself, put on clean clothes and came out.
"Princess, have you rested enough?" Long Wu asked, worried that her body would not be able to bear it.
Looking at the princess's appearance, she felt that she was not in good health.
"It's okay, let's go." Gu Jinyan said.
As expected, nothing happened again and it was a smooth journey to Bingzhou.
Despite this, many people couldn't bear to travel like this. Gu Jinyan's face was a little ugly, but he didn't say anything.
Slowly entering the boundary of Bingzhou.
Before reaching Bingzhou, it began to become desolate.
"The situation is worse than we thought. There was wind-chill disease before, and the wind-chill disease in Bingzhou was also very serious. Now there is a locust disaster, and there are successive attacks. No wonder Bingzhou is like this, and it goes on like this...
.." Hu Wenguang couldn't help but think.
Gu Jinyan nodded.
indeed.
However, she had no assumptions about the situation in Bingzhou, so she could accept whatever she saw.
It is normal for Hu Wenguang to think this way.
Along the way, although Hu Wenguang was a scholar, he followed the team without saying a word. Now he was exhausted and still thinking about the people of Bingzhou.
Gu Jinyan was very satisfied with Hu Wenguang.
Hu Wenguang's ability to do things is very good. This time he was asked to follow his team because he wanted him to stay with Xiaochun for a while and cultivate their relationship. I saw that he and Xiaochun were quite chatty that day.
When setting off, she was still a little worried, so she didn't take Xiaochun with her.
As we walked towards Bingzhou, more and more people were living on the streets. When they saw the carriage team, they all gathered around and begged them for some food.
Some guards couldn't stand it and wanted to give their dry food to some old and young people.
Hu Wenguang stopped them: "Don't give it, let's get out of here quickly."
"Hu Xiucai, isn't that a little too cruel?" a guard asked.
"What you are giving now can only be given for a while, and you cannot help all the people in Bingzhou. Moreover, if we cannot leave this time, it will cause a sensation and delay time." Hu Wenguang explained: "What if there is a stampede in a while? Because we are small.
It's a big loss, and have you ever thought about it, if there is chaos, the common people will not be able to do anything to them, and they will be followed by secret guards."
Gu Jinyan nodded with satisfaction: "Hurry up and get to the magistrate's house as soon as possible."
Hu Wenguang is a talented person who knows how to prioritize things.
They did not dare to waste time and hurried to the magistrate's house in Bingzhou Prefecture.
The prefect of Bingzhou Prefecture has been waiting for a long time.
He has known about the regent princess for a long time. The original cold syndrome was her idea, and all the affairs of Bingzhou must be entrusted to her.
Therefore, when Gu Jinyan came to Bingzhou Mansion this time, it was not like when she was in Yinzhou Mansion before. The prefect there did not welcome her.
When the prefect of Bingzhou Prefecture saw Gu Jinyan's team coming, he excitedly rushed to the carriage: "Princess Regent, you are finally here. Bingzhou Prefecture has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Princess Regent, the government office has prepared a resting place. Come down and have a rest. I will show you the situation in Bingzhou the next day."
"Princess Regent?"
The prefect of Bingzhou shouted for a long time, but when he saw that the people inside were silent, he was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
I looked around.
Gu Jinyan looked at the Bingzhou magistrate and was speechless.
The secret guard inside came out.
"Where is the Princess Regent?" the secret guard pointed at Gu Jinyan who was looking at the prefect with interest on his horse.
It took a while for the prefect of Bingzhou to react: "Princess Regent."
Then there was a bit of embarrassment.
He also did not expect that the Princess Regent would ride a horse instead of a carriage.
"Princess Regent, the locust disaster in Bingzhou has been reported to the court a month ago, but the court has not accepted it. It was not until recently that the court said it would arrange for you to come over."
"The disaster relief money in Bingzhou Prefecture is not enough. The government government has already taken out the only money. However, there are so many people in Bingzhou Prefecture. If these silver taels are spent, locusts will enter the country in an instant, and the food and crops will not be saved. The court will not know.
What's going on? I don't care about Bingzhou's affairs." The prefect of Bingzhou asked in a nagging tone: "Princess Regent, what are the arrangements for the court this time?"
"The imperial court gave one and a half million taels of silver and arranged for me to come to provide disaster relief, but nothing else." Gu Jinyan said.
Naturally, there was no mention of the banknotes from the accounts department and they were even forged.
"That's it?" Bingzhoufu looked shocked: "How could the emperor..."
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, the prefect of Bingzhou became quiet.
"Just tell me, Lord Magistrate, now that I have arrived in Bingzhou Prefecture, we are one," Gu Jinyan said.
"Xiaguan is a Jinshi in the sixth year of Changping. He stayed in Kyoto for a long time before being transferred to Bingzhou Prefecture. He has also met the emperor many times. Xiaguan has always felt that the emperor is a very thoughtful person." Bingzhou Prefecture
Said: "The imperial court has always made proper arrangements for the wind-cold disease."
So he kept insisting, knowing that Bingzhou would be saved sooner or later.
But now...
One and a half million taels of silver and a regent princess, what is the emperor's plan?
"It's not enough. Not only the money is not enough, but the people are not enough either." The prefect of Bingzhou looked nervous: "What should I do?"
"Don't be afraid." Gu Jinyan said.
"But Princess Regent, you just brought some silver. It's useless for Bingzhou Prefecture to just have some silver." said the governor of Bingzhou.
He had just seen this team, and he brought a few people with him. There were not many carriages, and at most he could only bring some silver.
