Liu Tong frowned when he heard this, and said: "The fifth brother's analysis is reasonable, and the loom developed by the Ministry of Industry is reasonable for the imperial court to use for its own use. It's just ...... when the time comes."

Liu Tong looked at King Rui: "In the weaving division, most of them are the prince's people." ”

King Rui smiled and said, "All the ministries and departments of the Inner Palace, the crown prince has taken silver money. It makes sense to say that he is the prince. ”

"Then there's still a lot of work to climb." The corners of Liu Tong's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sneer: "King Cen's merits, are you willing to benefit the prince like this?" I don't think so. ”

King Rui didn't say anything, let out a long breath, looked at Chang Runzhi who was hanging his head on the side, and then looked at Liu Tong, and said, "You and your younger siblings have also been missing for a while, don't talk about these boring words." I'll go back to the house and rest for a while, and you husband and wife will have a good talk. ”

King Rui held on to the low table and was about to get up, but Liu Tong hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Liangpeng and Yan Qing, who were standing on the side, also hurriedly stepped forward.

Chang Runzhi noticed that Ruiwang's right leg seemed to be a little inconvenient.

Liu Tong personally sent Rui Wang back to the house, and only came back after a while, and saw Chang Runzhi take her hand again, rubbed it carefully, and said: "These days, you are worried......

Chang Runzhi pursed his lips, listening to his somewhat guilty tone, the grievances that had been suppressed came up again.

"You said that you haven't heard from you for several days when you went out of Beijing, can I not worry......

Chang Runzhi stretched out his hand and beat his chest, and after only two hits, he was hugged into Liu Tong's arms.

"Fight until you lose your breath." Liu Tong stroked her back and said softly: "But my chest is hard, be careful not to hold your hand." ”

Chang Runzhi didn't hold back for a moment, and raised his foot and gently crushed him twice.

"What nonsense!"

Liu Tong smiled, let go of her, and held her face against her forehead.

"It's okay, didn't I come back intact?" Liu Tong rubbed her and said, "It's cold outside, your body is not very good, let's go back to the house and talk." ”

The couple went back to the inner room of the main house and changed out of the thick clothes they wore outside.

Chang Run stepped forward and pinched Liu Tong's arms and waist, and said softly: "It seems to have lost a little weight?" ”

Liu Tong couldn't help but smile and said: "Although I have been riding horses every day for the past few days, it is not so much that people will lose weight in just a few days." ”

"I'm looking at you losing weight anyway."

Chang Runzhi snorted lightly, sat down, and asked Liu Tong, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Obviously, you are all back, why don't you go to the palace to celebrate your birthday today? Does the Holy One know that you have returned? ”

Liu Tong nodded, and said helplessly: "You have so many questions, how can I answer them?" ”

Chang Runzhi glanced at him dissatisfied, Liu Tong hurriedly walked over and sat down next to her, hugged her in his arms, and said, "I'll say it from the beginning, say the same thing, and make it clear to you carefully." ”

"Then you don't want to say it quickly?" Chang Runzhi smiled and twisted his itchy flesh, causing Liu Tong to scream.

Yao Huang made tea, added charcoal to the brazier, and beckoned the maids in the house to go out, leaving the space in the house for the two of them.

Liu Tong whispered about what happened after he left Beijing.

That day, he waited at the gate of the city for a while, but he couldn't wait, so he took someone out of Beijing to Yanzhou to look for it along the road.

Liu Tong thought that no matter what, King Rui would take the official road when he returned to Kyoto, and he would stop at the post station, so he kept running along the official road.

I didn't hear any wind along the way, so I kept rushing to Yanzhou.

On the third day, Liu Tong arrived at Yanzhou.

He decided not to enter the gate of the state city first, but to inquire outside the city.

Liu Tong said: "I don't know if the fifth brother was still in Yanzhou City at that time, but since I didn't meet the fifth brother along the way, and there is no record of the fifth brother stopping at the post station, then I can only target Yanzhou City." If the fifth brother stays in Yanzhou because of something and can't return to Beijing, and because of this, he can't communicate with the capital, then he is mostly controlled by others. can have such ability, presumably only the three major clans of the head snake in Yanzhou. ”

"Then how did you meet King Rui?" Chang Runzhi asked.

Liu Tong smiled and said, "The fifth brother was in a farmhouse outside Yanzhou City at the time, and when I inquired about things in Yanzhou City outside the city, I was discovered by a good friend. Liangpeng took me directly to the farmhouse to meet the fifth brother. ”

Chang Runzhi suddenly said: "That's really a coincidence. ”

"It's not a coincidence." Liu Tong said: "The fifth brother expected that I would come, and the good friend was waiting there." ”

Chang Run was stunned and hurriedly said: "By the way, on the day you left Beijing, I happened to receive a letter from a good friend after I returned home. ”

Liu Tong immediately laughed when he heard this.

"After I met the fifth brother, the fifth brother asked if he had read the letter and came here, but he heard me say that he did not receive any letter, and the fifth brother was worried for two days. After I came back, I asked Quanda, and Quanda said that you took the letter and read it, but did not tell the fifth sister-in-law. ”

Liu Tong hugged Chang Runzhi and praised her without hesitation: "Runzhi, you are so smart!" ”

Chang Runzhi reluctantly pushed him away: "Speak well, what the hell is going on?" ”

Liu Tong still smiled and replied to Chang Runzhi: "Actually, the whole thing starts with the fifth brother going to Yanzhou. ”

The people of Yanzhou are fierce, and the successive officials of Zhizhou have made few achievements in Yanzhou, because Yanzhou is mostly controlled by the three major clans, and the local officials sent by the imperial court all have to look at their faces before they can act.

Over time, Yanzhou has become a difficult bone to gnaw.

Emperor Yuanwu defended the enemy externally and governed the country internally, and liked to use the policy of tenderness, although he felt that this place could not be cured, but because it was adjacent to the sea and often had dealings with Goguryeo, Emperor Yuanwu was not willing to persecute too much, so he had always tolerated the local actions of the three major clans of Yanzhou.

Until there was a riot in Yanzhou, Yanzhou Tongzhi was stabbed.

If it was just ordinary people causing trouble and causing a riot, it would be reasonable to know that they were accidentally stabbed. But this happened during the autumn harvest, and it only reached the capital when it reached the lunar month.

This is not because Emperor Yuan Wu does not pay attention to it.

On the day he received the news, Emperor Yuanwu summoned the crown prince and several princes to the Qinzheng Palace to discuss the matter.

Emperor Yuanwu planned to send a person to Yanzhou to investigate secretly, and this kind of case that almost killed someone should have been taken over by King Zhu, but King Zhu heard that it was an accident in Yanzhou to find out the truth and get back the evidence, so he immediately found an excuse to refuse, saying that there were several major cases in the Criminal Department that were being investigated, and he could not leave Beijing for the time being.

The prince didn't know why, but he also said that King Zhu had been entangled in affairs recently, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go to Yanzhou.

King Qi, King Li, and King Cen have done a lot of errands, but they have never handled a case, not to mention that the situation in Yanzhou is complicated, where are they willing to take the risk to go? Naturally, they were silent.

Emperor Yuanwu originally thought that he could only let King Zhu pick an official from the Criminal Department to go to Yanzhou for a secret investigation, but the prince suggested by himself, saying that King Rui had to be free, so it was better to let him go. (To be continued.) )
