At this time, the imperial court paid close attention to the prevention and control of the flood in the Yellow River section of Tokyo, and the news that came at that time was not optimistic, and the danger of pipe surges and embankment bursts made the officials and ministers worried, after all, no one would take the major events related to the lives of millions of people in Tokyo. Later, the news came that the embankment survived the ravages of the flood peak under the strict defense of the officers and soldiers who were still on the front line, and was unharmed. Whether it was the officials and important ministers, or the people of Tokyo, they all breathed a sigh of relief and put their hearts down. The imperial court was ready to reward the heroes of the berm, but when the news came that Liu Zhili of Shui Cheng in the outer capital committed suicide in fear of crime, the officials and ministers could not believe it. After all, in the spy report sent by the personnel of the Imperial City Division on the front line, Liu Zhili's first soldier was mentioned first, who was on the front line, commanded well, and dispatched properly. Although when the flood peak came, there were dangers, Liu Zhili responded calmly, and only then did he achieve a great victory in protecting the berm and protecting the embankment, and Liu Zhili was the biggest hero.

At this time, a royal history was set up in the court, impeaching the foreign capital Shui Cheng Liu Zhili for buying less and more for buying berm materials, greedy for the money of the imperial court to protect the river and fix the embankment, and there were evil deeds of exploiting and squeezing river workers and soldiers, and the court was asked to strictly investigate; At this time, Kaifeng also presented Liu Zhili's autopsy report and the silver ticket he had hidden on his body to the imperial court. Lu Yijian still has a deep impression of this Liu Zhili, he was originally a jinshi in the first year of Zhenzong Tianxi, and he was eighteen on the list. He did not go to the Hanlin Academy, but asked to go to the Ministry of Industry to supervise the government. In the end, Lu Yijian learned that Liu Zhili's family was on the edge of the Yellow River in Caozhou, suffering from the flooding of the Yellow River, so he took it as his responsibility to govern the Yellow River in his life, which also received praise from Zhenzong. Such a person is corrupt, Lu Yijian didn't believe it, and finally he saw Liu Zhili's autopsy report that the cause of death was written, that is, he was strangled to death before his death, and then hung on a beam, and the suicide was an illusion created by the murderer, and the silver ticket on his body was probably planted by someone. Lu Yijian has been an official for many years, and suddenly understood that Liu Zhili must have discovered the corruption case, and then was killed by the corrupt person.

At this time, Qian Weiyan, the governor of the political affairs, said: "Officials, such corrupt officials, must not be soft, especially in the governance of the Yellow River, but also can not tolerate corruption, the purchase of materials for the berm disaster prevention is less than sixty percent of the reported number, it is really shocking, fortunately this time the embankment is fine, otherwise, it will be a thousand miles of Ze country, and the lives will be ruined." Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yijian and said, "Lu Qing's family, what do you think?" Lu Yijian said: "Official, there is a hidden secret in this case, you look at Liu Zhili's autopsy report, it has been clear that he was killed first, and then hung on the beam, creating the illusion of suicide in fear of crime, this silver ticket must also be framed, I hope to hand over the case to Dali Temple for investigation and handling, return the deceased to a clean slate, and also arrest the murderer, with the law of the country." Zhao Zhen agreed, and ordered Dali Temple to solve the case within a time limit.

At this time, Gui Chengde and Liu Zhengyuan were looking for the residence of Liu Zhili's family, and they contacted the splashes and beggars in Tokyo to inquire about the whereabouts of Liu Zhili's family; At this time, Liu Zhili's henchmen and guards were also looking for their whereabouts, in order to protect the safety of Liu Zhili's widow and orphan.

Liu Yunniang's grandfather's family lives near Xincaomen on Beixie Street, his grandfather's surname is Fu, and he opened a pharmacy, which can be regarded as a wealthy family. Since Liu Yunniang came to Tokyo, she has been sullen and worried, she secretly feels that her father is more auspicious, and she has been having nightmares recently. She felt that she should hide what her father had given her.

One day, her cousin Fu Xiaowan, seeing her in this state, took her to Yanqiu by bus to play, and asked her to relieve her emotions. When she saw that the time had come, she took her package and went with her. Because it was so close to Yanqiu, it was only one stop away, so it was very fast. Cousin Fu Xiaowan was very interested in introducing her to the origin of Yanqiu, but when she talked about Meng Ming, she looked like a nymphomaniac, and finally said melancholy: "Cousin, this Meng Ming not only writes poems well, but also is a beautiful man, I only glanced at him from a distance, and I was fascinated by his demeanor, but it's a pity that he got married." Liu Yunniang didn't have the heart to listen to this, she prevaricated to Fu Xiaowan, lied to her and said that she wanted to find a place to make it convenient, and she agreed to meet with Fu Xiaowan at the bus stop. Liu Yunniang saw that there were many weeping willows by the Wuzhang River, so she walked over to see, she walked along the path, and soon reached the end, there was no one here, the sun could not shine much, it looked a little gloomy. Liu Yunniang couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, but thinking about her father's entrustment, she cheered up and looked for a suitable place to hide. She saw the thick, curvy willow tree, with many large and small holes in it. Finally she found a hole that she thought would be the most suitable, put it in an oilcloth bag, put the bag in an iron box, and then put the box in the hole, and finally marked it. Then he hurried back.

At this moment, Liu Yunniang's heart was like letting go of a heart that had been pressed for a long time like a big stone, and the whole person relaxed, and she felt that her steps were brisk. At this time, she has been in Tokyo for nearly half a month, and has never gone out for a walk, although her home is only less than forty miles away from Tokyo, but because her father is busy with official business all day long, he has thrown his body down all day long to control the Yellow River, and has never been to Tokyo a few times, Yanqiu has never been here. At this time, Yanqiu is full of greenery, tourists are weaving, there is gradually a market here, the street buildings here are built by Meng Ming, it is east of Yanqiu, north of Tokyo University Hall and Tokyo Medical College, and is located on the only way to enter Tokyo City. As a result, the size of the market has expanded. The streets are all brick and cement buildings, most of them are two-story buildings, the streets are all cement roads, there are drainage ditches on the roadside, covered with cement slabs, and a lot of shrubs, flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the road. Although the market was only two years old, it was quite prosperous, and the imperial court also added a tax office and a security unit here.

Liu Yunniang walked towards Yanqiu, she had never heard of the story of Yanqiu, and it happened that there was a detailed record on the stone tablet next to Yanqiu. Liu Yunniang looked at it for a long time, her heart was full of emotion, and she read softly and repeatedly in her mouth: "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death to promise." At this time, she was immersed in this sad artistic conception, and suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder, which woke her up suddenly, and a familiar voice came from her ear, someone said: "Is it Miss Liu, the humble position is Lord Liu's personal guard Qi Zhongshan, this is my token, and Lord Liu's letter is evidence." After hearing this, Liu Yunniang immediately turned to look at the man, a young martial artist in a strong suit with a knife hanging from his waist stood there looking at her, he took out a waist card and a letter, and handed it to Liu Yunniang. After Liu Yunniang confirmed that it was correct, she asked eagerly: "Guard, how is my father, is he in good health?" ”。 When she saw the sad face on the guard, her heart suddenly chuckled and sank to the bottom. She felt that something might have happened to her father, and it was very likely that he was killed by an adulterer. Sure enough, I only heard this guard say: "Miss Liu, I hope you can hold on after listening to Lord Liu's message, Lord Liu, he, he was killed, and he was also framed for corruption, dereliction of duty, and military salary." When Liu Yunniang heard this, her body trembled as if she had been shocked, and finally her eyes rolled and she fainted, and she was about to fall to the ground. Seeing this, the guards helped her up at once, only to see Liu Yunniang's face like white paper, clenched teeth, eyes closed, and weak breathing. The guards were anxious, hurriedly shouting for help, and after a while, a lot of enthusiastic people gathered around him, at this time from the crowd into an old man, he first pinched Liu Yunniang's acupoint, did not see her wake up, and took out a silver needle from the medicine box, pierced on the Shixuan acupoint of her index finger (0.1 inch away from the free edge of the nail), and finally heard her mumble, woke up, and then the old man Zhong gave her a pulse, and said after diagnosis: "This little lady fainted this time should be caused by emotional depression and impatience, and there is no other problem, It is to relieve her emotions and not to get emotional. At this time, Fu Xiaowan also rushed to the front, and when she saw her cousin's appearance, she immediately panicked and lost her opinion. Seeing this, the guard called a carriage and sent the sisters home, and he saw Mrs. Liu again, and when Mrs. Liu heard the bad news, she couldn't bear to faint to death, and the house was already in chaos. He contacted the other three guards who lived in the inn, and they all lived in Liu Yunniang's grandfather's house to protect the safety of Lord Liu's orphans and widows.
