The voices of the surrounding people complaining are getting louder and louder, and Shan Che is setting off the whole atmosphere, Li Xie knelt on the ground and his body kept trembling, and his whole face turned white.

"Li Jie, I'm asking you, is what they said true?"

The emperor glared at Li Xie who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, and said sternly: "Now that the matter is over, don't think about quibbling anymore, if it weren't for me to travel in casual clothes today, I'm afraid I don't know what you, the prefect of Jiangzhou, have done." ”

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the lower officials ...... The lower officials didn't do anything hurtful to the heavens and reason, they all made it up. ”

Li Xie shouted loudly, and pointed at Shan Che and said: "It's him, he was originally a staff member of the lower official, and because he was driven away by me, he maliciously framed the lower official." ”

"He framed you?" The emperor glared angrily and asked loudly, "Then what's going on with the people around here?" Are they also framing you? ”

Li Xie was so anxious that not only his forehead was sweating, but even his entire back was constantly breaking out in cold sweat, and he stammered and explained: "This, this...... The lower officials really don't know, the emperor is aware of it, and the lower officials are indeed wronged. ”

Although the emperor wanted to listen to Li Jie's explanation, he stumbled to explain for a long time and did not say a complete sentence, and the emperor had long lost the patience to listen.

"Someone."

The guards immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee, waiting for the emperor's orders, the emperor glanced at the people around him, and then said sharply: "Jiangzhou Governor Li Xie is suspected of privately raising taxes, killing the people, and imprisoning him for disposal." ”

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, the emperor looked at Xiao Yan again and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yan, this matter is handed over to you to investigate, and you must find out about this matter." ”

"Obey." Xiao Yan clenched his fists respectfully, and then stepped aside.

The emperor looked at the people around him and said loudly: "I am the emperor of the northern capital, this time I went south to the border of Jiangzhou, and today I traveled in casual clothes to inspect, and I heard the grievances you just said." ”

"Rest assured, as the king of a country, I will not let you suffer because of traitors. I will definitely find out about this matter and give you an explanation as soon as possible. ”

As soon as they heard that it was the emperor, the people on the street knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "The emperor is shengming, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

Looking at the people who knelt down to worship him, the emperor's face was very ugly, and he immediately turned around and left, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan followed him to protect him, for fear that there would be assassins.

Everyone came to another street, where there were very few people, and they didn't know that the emperor was traveling in civilian clothes.

The emperor no longer had the mind to hang out, and Feng Yu saw that he was in a bad mood, so he proposed to go to the restaurant to sit and taste the food of Jiangzhou by the way.

Looking at Fengyu's expectant eyes, the emperor did not refuse, and everyone went to the best restaurant in Jiangzhou together, but fortunately, Xiao Yan had already taken care of everything and did not attract attention.

Sitting in the private room, looking at the emperor's sad face, Feng Yu immediately reassured: "Father, you have made reasonable arrangements for what happened just now, don't worry, Xiao Yan will definitely find out about this matter." ”

"At that time, if it is really Li Xie who secretly increased taxes from the imperial court and killed innocent people, his father will deal with him in accordance with the law, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people of Jiangzhou."

With a long sigh, the emperor said to Feng Yu: "My father is old, and there are many things that he just wants to do, but he is also powerless. ”

"This northern capital was brought down by my father, and I don't want to see it fall into the hands of others, let alone see the people of the northern capital suffer and suffer."

"Kira, don't you understand?"

The emperor leaned back in his chair, looking very old, Feng Yu looked at him and was silent for a moment, then got up and walked to him and squatted down.

"Actually, what my father said, what I was worried about, my son has always understood."

"Father, don't worry, this north will not fall into the hands of others, and don't forget that my father is still here."

"The imperial brother is knowledgeable, wise, and strategic, and with him assisting his father, he will definitely be able to govern the northern capital better."

After Feng Yu finished speaking, the emperor just smiled and shook his head, and said nothing else.

In fact, Feng Yu knew in her heart that the emperor had long lost the mind to guide the country, and there were many things that he actually saw in his eyes, but he just didn't want to care.

While Fengyu understood the emperor, she was also lamenting the pain of losing the country in her previous life, in the war in her previous life, all her relatives were killed, and she also died tragically in the fire.

After accompanying the emperor for dinner, Feng Yu was anxious to find out the list and sent the emperor back to the dormitory, Xiao Yan also went to investigate Li Jie, and Feng Yu hurried to Zuihualou.

Shan Che was already waiting for Feng Yu, he sued Li Xie on the street according to Feng Yu's instructions, and the emperor was furious and imprisoned Li Jie, and said that he would investigate Jiangzhou's death, which made him very excited.

"I've seen the princess."

Feng Yu waved her hand and said, "There are no others here, no need to be polite, you and I can sit down and talk." ”

The two sat down, and Feng Yu hurriedly asked, "You have lived here for the past two days, have you found anything abnormal about Feng Yue'er?" ”

Shan Che thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." She stayed in Zuihualou every day, but every time she saw people were some dignitaries. ”

Feng Yue'er was not surprised to see the dignitaries and dignitaries say that it was strange, after all, she was the top brand of the Drunken Flower Building, and the reception was naturally different from other women.

However, if Feng Yue'er and Zhao Zongqi have an unusual relationship, then it is another matter, Feng Yue'er has dealings with dignitaries, so it is very likely that this Feng Yue'er is Zhao Zongqi's spy?

By the way, Feng Yue'er shouldn't have seen Xiao Yan yet, maybe she can let Xiao Yan test her first.

Feng Yu was thinking so, when suddenly there was a noisy and noisy sound downstairs, Shan Che immediately went out to see, and ran in again as soon as he went out.

"Princess, General Xiao is here with someone."

Hearing that Xiao Yan was coming, Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up and ran out to see.

Feng Yu stood by the fence and saw the guards guarding the door, while Xiao Yan was standing in the center of the hall, and Lin Ye behind him asked loudly, "Who is Feng Yue'er?" ”

Coming to Feng Yue'er? Feng Yu felt a little puzzled, and immediately said to Shan Che: "If you continue to live here, if you have anything, let someone send me a message." After finishing speaking, Feng Yu turned around and quickly went downstairs.

Feng Yue'er came down from upstairs and came to Xiao Yan to salute, "This official, I don't know ......."

"This is General Xiao." Lin Ye reminded without concealment.

Feng Yue'er was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Yan and saluted again: "I've seen the general, I don't know what the general is looking for Yue'er?" ”

"The prefect of Jiangzhou deceived the imperial court to increase taxes privately, and also killed innocent people, and now I have found out that you have dealings, and you have been to his mansion a few days ago, and now I will take you back for questioning."

Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yue'er expressionlessly, then raised his hand to compare, and said sharply: "Come on, take her away." ”

Feng Yue'er looked at Xiao Yan in shock, and shouted loudly the next moment, "General, Yue'er is wronged, Yue'er doesn't know anything." ”

Xiao Yan was just about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly saw Feng Yu standing aside, frowned, walked over and asked, "Why are you here?" In the future, one person will come to this kind of place less. ”

"I'm here to ask Shan Che something." Feng Yu replied disappreciatively, then looked at Feng Yue'er, who was still crying out for being dragged away, and said, "What's going on?" ”

In order not to arouse suspicion, Xiao Yan walked forward and said, "As I said just now, she went to Li Jie's mansion a few days ago. ”

"And didn't she have contact with Fenglin before? I guessed that the robbery of Concubine Hui might have something to do with her, so I took her back for questioning. ”

Feng Yu frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I want to see Li Jie." ”

Xiao Yan glanced at Feng Yu and said, "Li Xie is in prison, you go back to the palace to change your clothes first, and then I will take you to see him." ”

Change of clothes? Feng Yu looked down at her clothes and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Although she had doubts in her heart, Feng Yu still went back to Rui Wangfu to change her clothes, and then Xiao Yanbai took her to the dungeon to see Li Jie.

In the dungeon, Li Xie was being tortured, and when the executioner saw Feng Yu and Xiao Yan coming, he immediately stopped the execution.

"Recruited?"

"Nope." The torturer shook his head and said, "I have used several kinds of torture, but he is hard-mouthed and refuses to confess." ”

Glancing at Li Jie, who was beaten and covered in injuries, Xiao Yan said, "You guys should retreat first." ”

After everyone withdrew from the house, Feng Yu took off the hat on her cloak, and then walked in front of Li Jie, "Master Li, I didn't expect that you usually look submissive, but in fact you have such a hard temperament, which really impresses me." ”

Li Xie looked up at Feng Yu, then at Xiao Yan, and suddenly laughed, "You deliberately set me a trap, what, do you want to know anything from my mouth?" ”

Seeing Li Xie hook his lips, Feng Yu said with a smile: "To be honest, at the beginning, I just wanted to help Jiangzhou, but you said that he committed suicide in fear of sin, which made me feel very strange, and at the same time became interested in this matter." ”

As she spoke, Feng Yu took a step forward and stared at Li Jie's face, "Why don't you tell me, why did you kill Jiangzhou?" ”

"Is it because he knows some of your secrets that you killed people?"

Li Xie looked at Fengyu silently, Xiao Yan saw his eyes, frowned, and said: "Now that you are unable to protect yourself, if you tell the truth, I can intercede for you in front of the emperor and spare your life." ”

Suddenly, Li Xie snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yan, "Don't be delusional, I won't say anything." ”

Fengyu looked at Li Xie and was silent for a moment, and suddenly the corners of her mouth hooked, "Do you remember Xu Ruyue?" ”

Sure enough, after Li Xie heard this name, his face changed as soon as he said it, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Fengyu.

"Does she have anything to do with me? Why should I remember her. ”

"Of course you have to remember her." Feng Yu's eyes became a little evil, "After all, you killed her parents, how can you not remember her?" ”
