Chapter 413 Exploring
"If you can leave the capital, then go to Jingyang Mansion to find the king..." Shan Yucheng said a word directly, and then said to the coachman, "Let's go."

Several people's eyes lit up immediately, although they didn't say anything, but the mouth shape was "Xie Wangye Wangfei".

Putting down the car curtain, Hongxue looked at Shan Yucheng and said, "Can we really take them in?"

"I checked, and they are all orphans, and they are all first-class seedlings. You are kind to them. If they are willing to come, why would the king refuse? As for the others... we will talk about it later..."

Hongxue also laughed. In fact, she had hoped that these people would go to the palace for a long time, but unfortunately she never had the chance, so it was just right to be able to come now.

Although he had never led a soldier before, he could tell that Wu Chenhua was definitely a general.

Not long after the carriage left the palace, a figure got into the carriage without a sound and sat on the shaft. It was Hai'an.

"My lord..." Hai'an leaned on the car door and said, "Qiu Gui left the palace last night, went to the Linghe River outside Beicheng and came back..."

By the Ling River?Hongxue frowned, what kind of medicine is this Qiugui sold in the gourd? "Hongfei, let's go to the edge of Linghe River to have a look..." After thinking about it, Ning Yan suddenly suggested that she always felt that Lawa would not go to such a place for no reason.

Shan Yumao glanced at Hongxue, then nodded and said, "Okay." My daughter-in-law never doubts something for no reason, as long as she doubts, there must be something wrong.

Immediately, the two got off the carriage of Prince Cheng's Mansion at an inconspicuous place, and Luwu quickly hired a simple carriage from another place, and the carriage of Wang's Mansion was accompanied by Luman and Hong Ping back the palace.

The northern part of the capital is almost all civilians. The roads here are bumpy and the houses are dilapidated. Most of them are beggars and refugees. There were not too many people before, but since the disasters in the south and west, there are some people here. It was overcrowded.

The Ling River is not as clean as the other rivers, because there are a lot of beggars living here, and many of them who don’t have a house can set up a tent by the river and be able to manage their homes. They eat, drink and drink by the river. , pollution can be imagined.

The imperial court also sent people to help, and tried to divert these people, but there were so many people that they couldn't find a suitable place to resettle them;

What's more, in order to resettle, we need to build a house and reclaim the fields, which can't be solved at all in a while, so it's just nothing.

Of course, the most important reason is that there are no down-to-earth officials, all of them are cheating and cheating, and it is the common people who suffer in the end.

"Hey, these people are suffering." The old man who drove the car looked like he was in his 40s, with a vicissitudes on his face, and he couldn't help sighing after entering Beicheng.

Hongxue and the others could only remain silent, there were too many suffering people in the world and they couldn't sympathize.

The carriage went all the way to the north, passed through the streets and houses that were in sharp contrast with the east city and the south city, and soon arrived at the north city gate. Even the soldiers guarding the gate seemed listless, and there were very few people entering and leaving the gate.

After the carriage left the city gate, it went straight to the river. Guided by Hai'an, it went westward and soon arrived at the place where Qiugui visited last night. It was a little far away from the city gate, and it was relatively remote.

Ready to let the coachman wait, Hongxue and Shan Yucheng wanted to walk into the woods.

"Oh, this grove used to be a mass grave. Mrs. and Mrs., what is there to see here? It's very messy..." The old man driving the car couldn't help but muttered kindly.

"It's okay, our master just came here to take a look..." Lu Wu smiled and handed the coachman a piece of silver, "Old man, just wait here..."

"It's okay to wait." The old man shook his head and said, "Miss has already paid the fare, but this is no longer available...Miss, please persuade your master, it's not clean over there..."

"Old man, are you familiar with this place?" Hongxue who had just walked a few steps suddenly stopped and turned around.

"My family used to be in the North City, but after my son earned some money, we moved to the West City..." The old man sighed, "I've lived here for decades, of course we are familiar..."

"Then why don't you show us around and tell me what's going on here?" Hongxue said with a smile, "The money will be your service fee..."

"This..." The old man was a little startled, glanced at the silver, and finally nodded and said: "Well, let the nobleman get in the car, the old man will drive you to see this way... Otherwise, there will be a distance to go... "

Everyone get in the car again.

"This Linghe River used to be very clear, and there were villages over there. During the reign of the first emperor, there was a plague near the capital one year, and it started from Zhuangzi here. The sick people rushed to the gate of the North City, and then they were all burned to death. Tens of thousands of people died at that time...

It is said that after the fire, people passing by here would often hear someone crying, and the sound was very scary. As long as the people here had a little money, they would all move away... After that, the place slowly The barren..."

Hongxue frowned. Some plagues were not incurable, but in ancient times, most of the time, as soon as they heard it was a plague, they would be like scourges, and most of them would be killed in the end.

"Later, this side gradually became a cemetery... the dead in the palace were all thrown here..." The old coachman drove the carriage through the woods, pointed forward and said, "this place used to be There is also a mountain temple, which is also dilapidated now... If you go west, there will be no way..."

Hongxue stretched her head to look, and sure enough, there was a dilapidated building in front of her, but to the west of the mountain temple, there was a piece of wild grass, and there were no traces of people walking.

"In the past, this was all farmland, but now it's all deserted...the imperial court once encouraged people to come here to open up wasteland, but...who dares to come?" The old man sighed, and suddenly lowered his voice:

"I want to tell you a piece of news. Many years ago, the original Princess Wenchang raised objections to the burning of the village. Although they did not stop the late emperor, they also proposed to rebuild the North City. But then, not long after, something happened to the Wenchang Palace. This matter will be left alone... Hey, what a crime..."

Shan Yucheng's face froze, his mother and concubine...

Hongxue couldn't help shaking Shan Yucheng's hand, and gave him a comforting smile.

Shan Yucheng's expression also relaxed.

"Let's go to the temple to have a look..." When the carriage stopped, Hong Xue pulled Shan Yucheng and walked towards the temple.
