"Imperial Father, this Jia Hu is truly interesting. He is truly treasonous.”
Emperor Wu Yun smiled.
The Retired Emperor nodded with a smile and said to Emperor Wu Yun," This Jia Hu is interesting.
"My father, Jia Mu, said that the world is big and the Emperor is the most powerful. Now that my father has died in battle, I will listen to you.”
"This kid is showing his loyalty to you.”
The Retired Emperor said to Emperor Wu Yun.
"Replying to Imperial Father, your son can also see it. It's just that this method of expressing loyalty is a little…Reckless."
Emperor Wu Yun couldn't find a word to describe Jia Hu, so he could only use 'reckless' instead.
"Hehe, reckless or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is loyalty. However, my son, have you investigated Jia Hu?”
"Father, your son has investigated. His behavior is roughly the same as his. He lost his mother when he was young and grew up with his father at the border. He is also a brave person. He went to the battlefield with his father early and repelled the Tartars several times, but he never went to a private school.”
Emperor Wu Yun thought for a moment and said,"
"However, there's one thing. When Jia Hu fought against the Tartars, he took out the Heaven Suppressing Hammer that his grandfather gave to the Jia family. I've never seen Jia Hu use it before.”
"En, my investigation is similar to that of my son, but there is one thing you didn't notice. When Jia Hu entered the battlefield at the age of ten, he was close to six feet tall. Now he is only thirteen years old, and he is more than eight feet tall. He should be gifted to be able to pick up the Heaven Suppressing Hammer. Although there was definitely a secret, no matter what, Jia Hu was able to pick up the Heaven Suppressing Hammer to kill the enemy and even won a great battle because of it, so he did not lose the reputation of the Heaven Suppressing Hammer.”
"Imperial Father is right."
Emperor Wu Yun nodded.
"However, my son, what do you think about the matter of Wang Ziyu that Jia Hu mentioned in the letter?”
"Replying to Imperial Father, your son feels that Jia Hu can handle this matter. Wang Ziyu, a vermin in the army, should be cleaned up.”
After saying that, Emperor Wu Yun looked at the Retired Emperor. Although Wang Ziteng was Emperor Wu Yun's man and Emperor Wu Yun knew that Wang Ziyu was Wang Ziteng's brother, the army he sent didn't belong to Emperor Wu Yun. Emperor Wu Yun only had the Imperial Army guarding the palace and the secret guards in the dark. He couldn't bear to send these people out.
Thus, the fifty thousand soldiers sent were the Retired Emperor's soldiers.
"It should be cleaned up.”
The Retired Emperor looked at Emperor Wu Yun. The Retired Emperor had seen through Emperor Wu Yun's thoughts. However, the Retired Emperor felt old and slowly gave power to Emperor Wu Yun, so he didn't see through it.
"Alright Imperial Father, your son will reply to Jia Hu right away.”
Emperor Wu Yun suppressed the joy in his heart and said to the Retired Emperor.
After playing a few rounds of chess with the Retired Emperor, Emperor Wu Yun, whose heart was elsewhere, found an excuse to bid farewell to the Retired Emperor.
After returning to Yangxin Palace Hall, he wrote a letter and asked Xia Bingzhong to send it out.
Looking at the bright moon outside the door, he muttered to himself,
"Jia Hu, don't disappoint zhen!”
Yanmen Pass.
Jia Hu also received Wu Yun Emperor's reply.
Seeing the reprimanding words in the letter, Jia Hu felt a little embarrassed. He had just transmigrated, and it was already good enough that he could write a letter. If it was his previous self, he would not even be able to recognize the words.
Therefore, Jia Hu felt wronged and embarrassed. However, Jia Hu was a big-hearted person after all. He did not take such a small matter to heart.
The important thing was that Emperor Wu Yun had asked him to handle Wang Ziyu's matter, which made Jia Hu very excited.
Although Jia Hu did not see Wang Ziyu in the military camp these few days, with Wang Ziyu's character, it was impossible for him to take this lying down. He was definitely plotting something in the dark.
Jia Hu was very clear that for this kind of rich kid, one had to either beat him into submission or press him to death. And Wang Ziyu belonged to the latter.
With Emperor Wu Yun's letter, Jia Hu could act boldly. Now, he was just waiting for Wang Ziyu to make a mistake so that he would have a reason to deal with him.
In just a few hours, the opportunity came.
On this day, the rations escorted by the imperial court arrived at Yanmen Pass. When Jia Hu sent people to receive them, they found that nearly 40% was missing. When his subordinates reported to Jia Hu, Jia Hu found it unbelievable. The rations of 50,000 people were only about 60% after being transported to Yanmen Pass.
Jia Hu immediately went to see the grain transport officer. The other party said that they had encountered robbers on the way. They had risked their lives and only left behind 60% of the grain. The remaining 40% had been robbed.
Under Jia Hu's questioning, the grain transport officer impatiently claimed that the matter had been reported to the court and that the court would send troops to suppress the bandits and recover the grain.
Only then did Jia Hu give up. After returning, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. According to Jia Hu's experience from reading novels in his previous life, during a war, before the soldiers and horses moved, the rations and fodder had to go first. This was the rule of the army.
Moreover, Wang Ziteng had brought 50,000 troops to reinforce Yanmen Pass. If he had not defeated the Tartars and the rations had arrived so late, the 50,000 troops would have fallen into chaos before the Tartars attacked.
Something was fishy, there was definitely something fishy about this. Jia Hu was careful.
Thinking of this, Jia Hu called Jia San over.
"Jia San, send someone to keep an eye on that grain transport officer. See who he will meet after delivering the grain.”
"Yes."
At night, Jia San hurriedly came to find Jia Hu.
"Young Master, that grain officer went to see Wang Ziyu in the evening.”
"Did you hear anything?"
Jia Hu asked Jia San.
"Young Master, this subordinate did not dare to get too close, afraid of being discovered, so I did not hear anything.”
Jia San replied.
The grain transport officer knew Wang Ziyu. Otherwise, why would he be at this border instead of rushing back to Jingdou?
Jia Hu made a bold decision.
"Jia San, bring some men and find an opportunity to arrest that grain officer tonight. Be careful, don't alert the others. I suspect that the lack of grain this time is related to Wang Ziyu.”
"Understood, Young Master. Do you want to be direct?"
Jia San gestured.
"Idiot, kill him and you'll get your rations back? After you capture him, interrogate him about where the rations went and what it has to do with Wang Ziyu.”
Jia Hu stared at Jia San with a vicious gaze, causing Jia San to quiver in fear.
The next morning.
Jia San was waiting at Jia Hu's door. When he saw Jia Hu come out, Jia San immediately went up to him.
"Young Master, as you expected, the grain was hidden by the grain officer.”
"Tell me the details."
Jia Hu said as he ate breakfast at the stone table in the courtyard.
"Yes, Young Master."
"Last night, Eighteen and I entered the room after the grain transport officer fell asleep and knocked him out before taking him out of the city. At first, this grandson refused to say anything and even claimed that he was an official of the imperial court. After clamoring for a long time, we really ran out of patience.”
"I dug a hole to scare this bastard, saying that I would bury him alive. After digging the hole, he threw him in. This grandson confessed everything in one go.”
"It was said that Wang Ziteng and the others suddenly sped up their journey halfway. We couldn't make it in time to escort the rations, so we were at the back. However, the rations should have arrived the next night. At this time, we received a message from Wang Ziyu's trusted aide, asking him to keep 40% of the rations and give him 30% afterwards. He also said that this matter was foolproof.”
"The grain transport officer was hot-headed at that time and secretly deducted 40%. Because he was the one who led the grain transport convoy all year round, after conspiring, he pretended to have encountered robbers on the road and the grain was stolen. Just like that, he brought 60% of the grain over.”
Jia San reported excitedly.
"Young Master, let's go and capture that Wang Ziyu.”
Jia San looked at Jia Hu's contemplative look and said with an anxious expression.
"Wait, you said that Wang Ziyu's trusted aide brought it over. Is there a letter? Did the grain officer see the person's face clearly?”
Jia Hu asked Jia San.
"This, I don't think so. According to the grain transport officer's confession, Wang Ziyu's trusted aide wore a mask when he went to see him.”
Jia San recalled the situation last night.
"Isn't that settled? What evidence do you have to arrest Wang Ziyu? What if Wang Ziyu didn't admit it?”
"Young Master, is that it? Let Wang Ziyu off like this?"
Jia San looked at Jia Hu in confusion.
"No, inform your subordinates first. Tell them that the grain transport officer left the city this morning. I'll go and discuss this matter with old general Zhao.”
Jia Hu felt that it was better to look for Zhao Gan for this matter. After all, Zhao Gan had been an official for many years, so he might have a way to deal with it.
