When the war horse was still more than twenty meters away, it was stopped by the guards.
Nowadays, the number of escorts is getting larger and larger, and there are more and more people. The escort who delivers the message is new and no one knows him.
The vice-captain went over and personally confirmed the identity of the escort before letting him come over.
"gentlemen!"
The messenger escort saluted Jin Feng: "I am the guard on duty at the Privy Council. Master Tie said that there is something urgent and asked you to go back quickly!"
"Emergency?" Jin Feng frowned slightly: "Where is it?"
"I don't know about this, Master Tie didn't say anything." The escort shook his head.
Jin Feng looked at Wei Wuya: "Mr. Wei, I'll go back first. If you need anything, go to me directly. If I'm not at home, go to Wuyang."
"I understand," Wei Wuya said, "Go back quickly, I'm here at the experimental field."
Jin Feng nodded, turned over and mounted on the messenger's horse, and drove back to the village.
The Guards immediately jogged to follow.
Arriving at the courtyard where the Privy Council was located, Jin Feng immediately felt the oppressive atmosphere.
The guards on duty all had serious faces, and the clerks passing by were also in a hurry.
When Jin Feng saw Qin Ming standing at the door of the conference room, he knew that the Ninth Princess was also here.
If something happens, Tie Shixin will basically summarize the situation and send it to the Imperial Study Room to report to the Ninth Princess. Only when there are multiple people meeting or some special circumstances, the Ninth Princess will come to the Privy Council meeting room.
Entering the conference room, Jin Feng saw the Ninth Princess sitting at the head of the conference table. The senior leaders of the Privy Council, the bodyguards, and the intelligence team were all here, sitting on both sides of the conference table.
Everyone was silent, no one spoke.
Seeing Jin Feng come in, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
They were so scolded by Ninth Princess just now that they didn't even dare to raise their heads, and Ninth Princess seemed to be getting more and more angry. Tie Shixin began to worry whether she would directly order someone to behead someone later.
Jin Feng's temper is much better than that of the Ninth Princess, and in the entire Dakang, I am afraid that only Jin Feng can suppress the Ninth Princess.
Sure enough, when the Ninth Princess saw Jin Feng, the anger on her face subsided, and then she moved to the side.
Jin Feng sat down next to the Ninth Princess and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master Liu, you are in charge of intelligence, please tell me the situation again!" Princess Ninth looked at Xiaoyu with a cold face.
"Yes," Xiaoyu stood up, looked at Jin Feng and said, "I just received a report that last night, a total of seventeen grain depots in Sichuan and Sichuan were set on fire by gangsters. Ten of them responded quickly and the fires were extinguished in time.
In the other seven buildings, only part of the food could be salvaged because the fire was so intense that the losses were relatively serious.
The specific losses are still being calculated!”
"What the hell?"
Jin Feng, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up.
What worries him most now is the food problem. He fishes and fishes for kelp just to make a living for the people.
As a result, seven granaries have now been set on fire.
Although the specific data has not yet been calculated, Jin Feng can already guess how big the losses are.

He finally found out why Princess Ninth lost her temper.
Jin Feng couldn't help it anymore and slapped the table: "Didn't I emphasize repeatedly that the granary should pay attention to fire prevention and security? Why is it still being lurked in? Why is it still being set on fire?
What about the guards at the granary? Are they all on a daily basis?
There is also the Zhongming Group, the enemy has lurked in the granary without being discovered, what are you doing?"
People who don't usually lose their temper, once they lose their temper, it means they are really angry.
The ministers lowered their heads again, not daring to express their anger. Xiaoyu also bit her lip and said nothing.
The matter this time was really too serious, and there was indeed a serious flaw in the work of Zhong Ming's team. Xiaoyu had been scolded by the Ninth Princess for more than ten minutes just now.
Xiaoyu is the leader of Zhongming's group, and her status is getting higher and higher. If Xiaoyu didn't speak during normal times, Jin Feng would not scold her in public, but would talk to her alone after the meeting.
But this time Jin Feng was really anxious and slapped the table again: "Speak! What's going on? Have they caught anyone alive? Have they been interrogated to find out how many accomplices they have? Who planned this plan?
?Who is the next target?”
It was also the first time that Xiaoyu saw Jin Feng so angry. Her eyelids twitched, and then she raised her head and said, "Sir, from the news that has come back so far, a total of thirty-seven arsonists were killed last night, and they were caught."
Three living mouths.
Among the thirty-seven arsonists who were killed, more than a dozen were highly skilled and by no means ordinary people. We have reason to suspect that this was an organized and premeditated plan by the assassination team to specifically target granaries in various places, and it was likely to be linked to
It is related to the attack in the East China Sea, but no evidence has been found yet!"
When Jin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but look thoughtful.
What Xiaoyu said makes sense.
In order to investigate the East China Sea explosion, Xiaoyu mobilized many experts from all over Sichuan and Sichuan to rush to the East China Sea.
Most of these people are in important positions across Sichuan and Sichuan. They were transferred out urgently, and most of their successors have not yet been in place. Even if they are in place, it will take time to sort out and adapt to the new positions.
As a result, some of the work of the Zhongming Group will inevitably come to a standstill or be delayed.
It was during this period that the opponent launched latent arson, and the timing was very good.
It can be said that every order given by Jin Feng and Ninth Princess was expected by the enemy.
In fact, this is not because Jin Feng and Ninth Princess are not smart enough, but because the enemy is in the dark and they are in the open, so they are inherently at a disadvantage in the spy war.
Just like when playing cards, the other party can see through all your cards if they open up.
Moreover, governing a country is different from fighting a war. In war, you can use all kinds of unexpected strategies, but in governing a country, you can only use upright policies.
We cannot say that the imperial court issued an order today saying that 10% of taxes will be collected this year, and then issue another order tomorrow saying that the last order was to confuse the enemy. In fact, 20% of taxes will be collected this year.
If this is the case, even if the people do not rebel, they will lose trust in the government's policies.
This leads to the decision that Princess Ninth wants to make. For those who are well versed in political power, it is not difficult to guess.
"By the way, didn't we capture three alive?" Jin Feng asked, "Have they been interrogated?"
"Two of the three people captured were also dead soldiers. There is no branch of the Secret Service where they were arrested, and there are no specialized interrogation personnel. People from the Secret Service are on their way there."
Xiaoyu continued to answer: "The third person is the original staff of the grain depot. The interrogation is relatively simple..."
"What, the staff of the grain depot?" Jin Feng couldn't help but interrupt Xiaoyu: "Are you sure?"
