Chapter 148: Let's Go Together
The arrival of Liuli had to make Wei Lianjie temporarily put down his goal and take his men to settle in a small village nearby.
The weather in the south is on the hot side, perhaps because of the drought, and there is very little water on this road. Occasionally, arid land is also cracked inch by inch, and withered grass fills the fields. The corpses of the refugees were exposed in the wilderness, and the stench was constantly emitted under the scorching sun.
At dusk, Liuli woke up from a coma rubbing his still sore head, and his eyes were filled with the anxious face of the couch guard Lianjie.
Seeing him wake up, Wei Lianjie's face couldn't help but soften. "Childe, you're awake."
"Hmm." Liuli sat up and half-leaned on the head of the bed, and asked: "The disappearance of the disaster relief money and grain in Bianzhou and Luoyi for no reason has something to do with my father-in-law, right?" ”
"Childe ......" Hearing this, Wei Lianjie's face changed, and something seemed to flash in his eyes.
"Father-in-law." Seeing this, Liuli has already understood. "You know that the disappearance of the disaster relief money and food has set off a storm in the DPRK and China, and if you don't go back, you may arouse suspicion."
"This ......" Wei Lianjie's face was a little ugly. How does Childe know? ”
"So far, does the father-in-law still want to hide it from Li'er?" After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Liuli immediately raised his eyes to look at Wei Lianjie, but there was a layer of anger on his pale face as white as snow.
"Your Highness forgives your sins." Wei Lianjie hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, bowing his head and not daring to snort.
He was a courtier, and it was sinful not to report anything to the monarch before doing anything. However, he did not feel guilty.
The Bianzhou flood was originally arranged by him, and the reason why he did it was just to take advantage of this so-called natural disaster to make some money in case of future needs.
But what he didn't expect was that his approach would attract the opposition of Liuli, so he had no choice but to act secretly.
"Father-in-law, you are confused." Liuli sighed and said, "Have you ever thought about the consequences?" ”
"I've thought about it." Wei Lianjie said resolutely: "But even so, for the sake of the great cause of restoring the country, even if the minister loses his life, he will not hesitate." ”
"Did the stepfather ever think that what I wanted was not a scarred departure from the country,"
"But ......"
"After enduring humiliation for more than ten years, Li'er knows her father-in-law's loyalty and patriotism, but please accept Li'er's rudeness and can't accept her father-in-law's good intentions."
It is true that he is the prince of the previous dynasty, but he is also a courtier who has left the country. He had realized his mistake since the plague in Youzhou, so he didn't want to make himself wrong again and again.
"Your Highness."
"Father-in-law, get up." Liuli got up and stayed and shouted outward, "Mohe." ”
Mohe had already woken up, heard the voice coming in, and when he saw Liuli, he wanted to ask for guilt.
"Excuse me." Waving his hand, Liuli said: "Go and prepare, we will return to the capital immediately." ”
"Yes."
Mohe was ordered to retreat, but Wei Lianjie was embarrassed. "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, why don't you ......"
Before he finished his words, Liuli waved his hand to stop him: "Father-in-law doesn't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind." ”
"But......" opened his mouth, and Wei Lianjie didn't know how to persuade him.
The flood in Bianzhou has long been under his control, as long as Liuli nods, he is not afraid of leaving the country and the refugees are approaching the capital. It's a pity that his Royal Highness is soft-hearted, even if he knows the truth of the matter, he will rush to stop him overnight.
But in his opinion, the flood in Bianzhou was man-made, but the drought in Luoyi was providential. Even if the heavens are about to die and leave the country, what he does is only in accordance with the will of heaven. At least not until then, he didn't feel like he was at fault.
But for now......
"Su Yitong is going back to the capital in a few days, and his father-in-law should go back to the capital to prepare earlier, don't ask someone to find clues......"
With Feng Feiyi and Su Yitong's shrewdness, it is impossible not to guess that the flood in Bianzhou is man-made. At present, the imperial court is in chaos due to the case of embezzlement of disaster relief money and grain, and after Su Yitong returns to the capital, he will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. So, he had to prepare early.
"So all our long preparation has been in vain?" Jet Wei was unwilling to be authentic.
"Father-in-law," he turned to look at him, and the look in his glass eyes was a little melancholy. "Hundreds of thousands of people in Bianzhou are still waiting for this batch of disaster relief money and food to save their lives, do you really hope that when you leave the country and return to me, it will be full of holes?"
"That's it." With a sigh, Wei Lianjie slowly got up and said, "The minister can go back to the capital with His Highness." But the dead man who assassinated Su Yitong is already on his way to Bianzhou, and I ask His Highness not to make any more sad moves......"
"What!" However, as soon as he said this, Liuli's face changed greatly.
Tonight is different from the past, if Su Yitong is assassinated at this time, it is okay to die, at most it will only speed up the chaos in the world. But if she was only injured, with the thunderous means of the wind flying wings......
Just thinking about it, Liuli felt that her hairs stood on end, "What can my father-in-law do to stop it?" ”
Jet Wei shook his head. "Nope."
The Dead had been sent out for days, and if nothing else, they should have succeeded by now.
"Mohe, let's not go back to the capital, let's go to Bianzhou." Liuli turned around and left, and when he was about to go out, he didn't forget to tell Wei Lianjie: "The capital has been very peaceful recently, just in case, my father-in-law should return to the capital as soon as possible." ”
By the time the news of the capital reached Bianzhou, ten days had passed.
At that time, Su Yitong was teaching Yuyan to tinker with gadgets in the yard, and Yu Wushuang was sitting in the shade watching, with a pair of beautiful eyes shining brightly, which was very good-looking.
Ying Yi hurried to Bianzhou, and when he arrived at the prefect's yamen, he realized that he had pounced. No, before he settled down to rest, he looked around. It's hard to find this place, and it's going to be exhausting.
His legs were weak, and as soon as he got off the horse, Keichi fell on his heels. The little guy guarding the door didn't recognize him, and thought it was a passing refugee begging, so he kindly went back to the kitchen and stuffed two steamed buns into his sleeve and stuffed them into his hands, and said gently: "Na, I don't have anything else, just eat a steamed bun to cushion your stomach." ”
Ying Yi looked at the steamed bun in his hand and rolled his eyes silently. After lying down for a while, he had the strength to get up and explained: "I don't want food, I'm looking for your son-in-law." ”
When Ying Yi followed the little guy into the courtyard, Su Yitong was showing off with Yu Wushuang with the freshly made lipstick! When I saw him suddenly, I was a little stunned for a while. "Kageichi, why are you here?"
When Ying Yi just got off the horse, he fell hard, and he was still a little lame when he walked, and when he saw her rushing towards him, he subconsciously took a step back, straightened his back and said, "My subordinates are here to take the emperor back to the palace." ”
"Back to the palace?" Su Yitong was stunned.
During this time, Yu Wushuang helped her deal with the disaster, but she forgot what she was doing in Bianzhou.
If life is really comfortable, she has forgotten who she is.
When she woke up, she looked at Yingyi: "But what did you ask from that fat man's mouth?" ”
Ying nodded and said solemnly: "I asked, the general said that this matter was widely implicated, and he and the prime minister did not dare to make their own decisions, so they specially asked their subordinates to come and escort the emperor back to the palace." ”
"Is it related to those ministers in the court?" Su Yitong asked.
"I guess so......" Kageichi said uncertainly. I heard that the prefect of Bianzhou confessed a list......"
"Brother Su, are you leaving?"
Before Ying Yi finished speaking, Yu Wushuang walked over with a fan and asked.
"Hmm." Su Yitong nodded, "It's time to go back." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Yuyan and asked, "Yuyan, have you learned all the things I have taught you in the past few days?" ”
Yuyan raised his head in his busy schedule and said, "I learned." ”
"Well, it's worthy of the apprentice I taught." Su Yitong nodded with satisfaction, looked at Yu Wushuang again and said, "How about it, you have also seen the things I taught Yuyan in the past few days, do you think it is worth the price I offered?" ”
"Of course." Yu Wushuang squinted and smiled: "Brother Su's ability is worth it in his eyes." ”
"That's good." Clapping his hands, Su Yitong wiped his sweat and said, "I'll leave tomorrow, do you want to be together?" ”
"Is that okay?" Yu Wushuang blinked.
"I only recognize money." With a blank look, Su Yitong dropped a sentence and went back to his room.
The position of the prefect of Bianzhou was vacant, and Su Yitong couldn't find anyone to fill it for a while, so he had to look at Yingyi for help. Ying Yi was forced to have no choice but to agree to temporarily take the post of prefect and manage Bianzhou well before the prefect of Bianzhou reported on his work.
The movement of the capital city quickly reached Feng Feiyi's ears, and that night, Feng Feiyi made people wait at the gate of Yu Wushuang's courtyard, preparing to return to the capital with Su Yitong on the second day.
"Huh......"
Su Yitong looked at Feng Feiyi, who had not been seen for many days in front of him, wearing an ink shirt like the old, and was slightly stunned, "Feng Feiyi, aren't you going back to the capital?"
"You ......" pursed his lips, and Feng Feiyi asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to go back to the capital?" ”
"Hmm." With his hands around his chest, Su Yitong rolled his eyes at him and said, "What, do you have an opinion......"
"Let's be together." Lowering her eyelids, Feng Feiyi pulled her out and walked out.
"Hey......" struggled in his hands for a moment, and Su Yitong shouted loudly: "Feng Feiyi, you are crazy......"
Say go, come as you say, what do you think of her?
Yu Wushuang is moving things into the car! Leng Buding saw Feng Feiyi pulling Su Yitong towards him. So he joked: "Ah! The regent is also here, is it to go back to the capital together? ”
After a pause, Feng Feiyi looked at Su Yitong with a cold face. "He's going too?"
"Hmm." Su Yitong shrunk his neck in fear, "During your absence, it was all his ......"
The meaning is self-explanatory.
Feng Feiyi's face darkened, and Yu Wushuang waved his hand again and again to explain: "That...... Don't get me wrong, Lord Regent, Brother Su and I only have brotherly affection, and there is no ...... at all."
Brotherhood?
Feng Feiyi's teeth creaked, his fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, and it took a long time to look at Su Yitong and say, "Get in the car." ”
Without waiting for Su Yitong to struggle, he threw her into his carriage. Su Yitong rolled in the car, his head hit the wall of the car, and he suddenly screamed in pain, but as soon as he saw Feng Feiyi getting into the car, he immediately covered his mouth and nose, did not cry or make trouble, and looked at Feng Feiyi's eyes full of horror.
Wind Wings squinted at her. He said coldly, "Sit down." ”
"No, ......" waved his hand again and again, Su Yitong said: "It's good here." ”
But no, Feng Feiyi didn't know what medicine he had taken, and his eyebrows were cold, as if he could cramp her skin at any time, and her bones would be scattered.
