Chapter 080: Lin Jue was trapped in a thousand miles of embankment

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

With a few roars in a row, the entire land of Yichuan shook. Li Yibai was taking Lin Jue to listen to the play in the theater garden, and when he heard the sound of the ground moving, he immediately pulled Lin Jue towards the open place.

Lin Jue was also startled, and ran out with Li Yibai in a panic, and only when the roar stopped and the earth no longer shook did they both breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" The tremor was so obvious that when you calmed down, you could tell that it wasn't really moving.

Li Yibai had a gloomy face, "Dark one, go to the embankment and take a look." ”

As soon as he received the order, he flashed and disappeared into the crowd.

Lin Jue's face turned white when he heard this, "Someone blew up the embankment?" ”

Now there is no clear decree on the side of the imperial court, if the dam is to be blown up, the people downstream must evacuate in advance. Although it is a tributary of the Wei River, the downstream Wei River impact plain is inhabited by many people because of the fertile land. As soon as this levee is blown up, the downstream ......

"It seems that someone jumped off the wall in a hurry, and I was careless, I should have expected that this surnamed Cui was not a good person. It's just that the people downstream have suffered a great calamity because of this...... "Li Yibai can't go on, the corpses are everywhere, and the people are displaced, just because of a corrupt official, which is really hateful."

"Anyway, let's go back to the post house first, and then find someone to see how the Yanshui Department is doing, he has been on the side of the embankment for the past few days. And if such a big thing happens, the local officials must have no idea, and they will probably go to you to get an idea. ”

In a breath, Lin Jue had already thought of the possibility and was busy persuading Li Yibai, this time was not the time for sad spring and autumn, there were too many things that needed to be arranged. And they are now in the theater garden, so that people with a heart can hold it, and they are afraid that there will be trouble.

Li Yibai also expected this, and immediately arranged for someone to open the way, "Ask someone to go and see how Yan Ziyu is doing, don't go over, I'm afraid that the surname Cui will take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, so you can stay by my side and don't go anywhere." ”

Lin Jue knew that his force was low, and at such a time, although he was anxious about the people downstream, he didn't dare to act at will. Cui Youwang dared to blow up the embankment, but I am afraid he didn't want to let them go back with all their tails, this is not the time to be rash.

Seeing Lin Jue nodding, Li Yibai relieved his heart a little, leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate.

When I returned to the post house, the post house was really frightened, and when I saw Li Yibai coming back, I suddenly had a backbone. Li Yibai didn't talk nonsense, and immediately mobilized personnel, some of them rushed to several counties in the lower reaches of Yichuan to help contain the disaster, and some of them rushed to the location of the embankment, while assisting the county to rescue the people, while looking for Yan Ziyu's whereabouts. Dark One has already come back to report that the embankment was indeed blown up, and now several towns near the embankment have also been affected, and Yan Ziyu's whereabouts are unknown.

At this time, Li Yibai had limited manpower in his hands, and he no longer had the energy to take care of Cui Youwang. I only hope that the people on the prince's side can submit Cui Youwang's incriminating evidence to the capital as soon as possible, so that someone can support them as soon as possible. Cui Youwang hasn't shown up until now, I'm afraid he has the intention of tearing his face.

At this time, he was already sure that it must be the people on the prince's side who got some evidence that Cui Youwang would take such a risk. As long as the embankment is blown up, the scene will be chaotic, and it is best to kill the royal relatives and important members of the imperial court, and make the whole situation bigger, so that he will have a chance to get out.

It's just that now I don't know what Cui Youwang wants to make things like, whether he wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, take hostages, or directly kill them, and then escape when everyone is panicking.

And what makes Li Yibai incomprehensible is that if Cui Youwang is really caught by the prince's people with evidence of corruption, bribery, and deception, wouldn't it be better to get out as soon as possible? It's not a big crime of treason, so why bother, add such an item to the original crime. Now that this is the case, even if His Majesty intends not to implicate the nine clans, I am afraid that he will not be able to implicate the common people.

Could it really be ......

This time, Li Yibai really regretted bringing Lin Jue out. Originally, Lin Jue, as the main department of the Ministry of Industry, did not need to be there in person, but he took advantage of his position to start from the emperor and bring Lin Jue over. Now that it has become a talisman, it is difficult to say whether it can survive this hurdle.

Glancing at Lin Jue, who had always been silent and staying by his side, Li Yibai felt a little guilty.

Lin Jue seemed to understand Li Yibai's expression, and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than a clown jumping off the beam, are you a dignified county king, and you can't even clean up a Cui Youwang?" ”

Li Yibai smiled when he heard this, "How can you not clean him up, what kind of thing is he!" ”

Lin Jue looked at Li Yibai with a smile in his eyes, Li Yibai's impetuous heart was stable, and he looked at Lin Jue and smiled.

After arranging the accompanying officials, Li Yibai sent all the guards around him out. Although he already has the bottom in his heart and knows that this matter must be on Cui Youwang, he still has to send someone to keep an eye on him, lest he really run away, it will be a bamboo basket to draw water.

Li Yibai understands that if Cui Youwang wants to make a desperate bet, then his prince will be his bargaining chip, so it is not safe around him. Even so, he didn't dare to send Lin Jue out first.

There are too many such examples, if he moves, what if Cui Youwang is waiting for this gap? At that time, Lin Jue will only be trapped, and he will only have the share of a mouse trap.

Reaching out and touching Lin Jue's cheek, Lin Jue tilted his head and blinked at him, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yibai smiled, Lin Jue only knew that Cui Youwang had committed a crime, but he didn't know how much he had committed, judging from the evidence he had before, Cui Youwang was probably a major crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Otherwise, they wouldn't have just come and sent so many people over to monitor. Now that the people on the prince's side have shown traces, he can't hold his breath like this, and he is under the trap of the rat, and he makes dangerous moves.

"Don't be afraid, we'll get through it. I believe that God will not give us such a short few years to meet you and me here, and let you and me meet. "Li Yibai is rarely sensitive.

Lin Jue smiled, "Since you said so, is God such a stingy person?" As he spoke, he beckoned in a middle-aged man with an ordinary face.

"Uncle Liu, come, I've seen His Royal Highness King Yong."

This person came in quietly, Li Yibai didn't even know when the door opened, only looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

The one who was called Uncle Liu saluted Li Yibai, "I've seen Your Highness." He did the bowing salute that people who walked the rivers and lakes often did, and obviously did not treat Li Yibai as a royal prince.

Lin Jue said: "Uncle Liu is the old man of my mother's family, and he has been protecting me in the dark all these years, and I brought him with me when I came to Shaanxi this time." Uncle Liu's martial arts are superb, enough to defeat one against a hundred, with him, you and I should be fine. ”

Li Yibai had a lot of things to ask Lin Jue, but it was obviously not a good time at this time, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and salute Uncle Liu in return: "Then there will be work." ”

Uncle Liu saluted without words, nodded at Lin Jue, and saw that he didn't give orders, so he flashed and went out quietly.

Li Yibai raised his eyebrows, and Lin Jue smiled: "Do you think Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital by water, how did our brothers and sisters arrive all the way safely?" ”

This is very true, when Lin Ruhai was assassinated, Lin Jue was burdened by Lin Ruhai's secret folds, all the way from Yangzhou to the capital, there were many dangers, their brothers and sisters were powerless people, and they were young, and it was a miracle that they could go all the way safely. But it turns out that the creator of this miracle is here.

"Since you have such a master by your side, how could Lord Lin be ...... in the first place?"

Hearing this, Lin Jue's face darkened, "Uncle Liu is only responsible for protecting me, according to him, he has an old relationship with my mother's family, and he has received the great favor of my mother's family, so he promised my mother to keep me safe when my mother was dying." At that time, I didn't follow him all the time, my father was assassinated outside, and there was really nothing I could do. ”

Li Yibai hurriedly took Lin Jue's hand, "It's me who lost my words." ”

Lin Jue smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It's all in the past, don't keep thinking about whether to send me away, if you're worried about me, won't I worry about you?" With Uncle Liu here, we must be fine, don't worry. ”

While the two were talking, someone came to report that they had found the Ministry of Words. When the embankment collapsed, the Ministry of Water was patrolling downstream, but fortunately it was far away, and when it heard the explosion, it hurried to the top of the place, although it was also affected a little, but its life was saved. It's just that in the end, it was hit by the current, and it was also washed away.

"Are there any injuries?"

"It's just a minor injury, and I've already found a doctor to bandage it, and I can come to restore my life to the prince later."

Hearing the official communication, Lin Jue and Li Yibai all breathed a sigh of relief. Among this group of people, Li Yibai has the most noble status, followed by Lin Jue and Yan Ziyu. When the accident happened, Lin Jue and Li Yibai were listening to the play in the opera garden, and they only said that the water department was on the embankment, if something really happened, I am afraid that the two of them would be punished without being punished, and they would not be able to do it in their hearts.

"After all, there is nothing big about the Ministry of Water, otherwise it will be known by someone with a heart, and you and I will be implicated."

Li Yibai's eyes sank, this Cui Youwang is really good at picking the time, but he made such a thing when the two of them went out, "Don't think about it, this Cui Youwang is probably deliberate, if you can return to Beijing safely on this trip, you and I will be impeached." It's not a big sin, but I'm afraid it's going to sit idle for a while. ”

Lin Jue is not worried about this, the ups and downs of life are very normal, if he can really take advantage of this matter to be idle, I am afraid that he can hide from those old adults who are worried about proposing to him when they see the sky, and it can be regarded as a leisure. And the grievances of his parents really can't be revealed in this moment, and the time has not yet come.

Li Yibai touched Lin Jue's hand, "It's me who has troubled you." ”

Lin Jue smiled and gave Li Yibai a look, "I'm going to punish you for saying this, what is not involved, between you and me, do you still need to say such things?" ”

Li Yibai smiled stupidly, and his heart was very stable.

After a few moments, Yan Shuibu came over to meet Li Yibai with a board on his arm. Li Yibai hurriedly excused himself and asked him to sit, "Is the injury on Yanshui's hand okay?" ”

Yan Ziyu's face was a little pale, firstly, he was injured, and secondly, he was also a little frightened, "Lord Lao is worried, and the lower officials are fine." ”

"That'll be fine." Li Yibai nodded, and got down to business, "This king has sent someone to find out, and this incident was that someone deliberately blew up the embankment. Lord Yan was also present at the time, I wonder if there is anything to discover? ”

Yan Ziyu shook his head, "The incident happened suddenly, and I went downstream again, so I didn't find anything, and I hope that the prince will forgive me." ”

Li Yibai nodded, he didn't expect to ask anything from Yan Ziyu's mouth, it was just a routine inquiry.

"However," Yan Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Although Xia Guan didn't find it, Master Cui should be able to feel it, Xia Guan remembered that the people in Lord Cui's mansion had come to the embankment at that time, and they also glanced at it in a hurry, and they were not impressed, so Xia Guan didn't explore why he came." ”

This is Ming Huang Huang told Li Yibai that the incident of blowing up the embankment this time is not related to Cui Youwang, and it is impossible for him, the head snake, not to know, after all, he was almost killed, and Yan Ziyu always has to find someone to extinguish his anger.

Li Yibai pondered for a moment, and then said: "That Cui Youwang has already absconded from the house, and now he doesn't know where to go." ”

Yan Ziyu was taken aback, this person is already an old fritter in officialdom, what can't he understand. He originally implicated Cui Youwang, just so that he, a local snake, could step up the handling of the case, and he was almost killed by an official from the Sipin Imperial Court, so naturally the first thing was to capture the culprit and take revenge. It's just that in this situation, Cui Youwang is probably the culprit, the strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, they are only a few people now, if Cui Youwang fights back, aren't the three of them with the highest official positions a ready-made live target?

Yan Ziyu was immediately frightened, "Wang ...... Lord, how is this good? ”

"Lord Yan doesn't need to panic, Lord Lin has already sent someone to the northwest garrison camp to find General Xie for help, and this king has also sent someone to send an urgent secret letter to Beijing. Now that the incident has happened for so long, and there is no movement from Cui Youwang, I think we are still safe for the time being. ”

Hearing Li Yibai's words, Yan Ziyu not only did not relax, but became more nervous.

Li Yibai couldn't either, so he had to ask him to go down and rest first. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Cui Youwang did not make a move when the incident first happened, it does not mean that people will not do it when they are quiet, tonight is the most dangerous moment.

Holding Lin Jue's hand tightly, Li Yibai's eyes were resolute, with this person by his side, what if he died?
