Almost everyone in this world wants to be the emperor, because in the eyes of most people, being an emperor can do whatever they want, but only the emperor and the people around the emperor know that the emperor is also greatly constrained, these constraints come from the palace, from the court, and even from the people, etc., so many things Zhao Zhen, the emperor, can't help it.

For example, in the matter of establishing the queen, when Zhao Zhen learned that his future queen had been married, he was also furious, and even wanted to kill someone, but in the end he calmed down, because this marriage had been announced, and now everyone in the world knows that he wants to marry the woman of the Cao family, as the emperor, it is impossible for him to regret the marriage, otherwise how can he set an example for the world?

Looking at Zhao Zhen's painful appearance, Li Zhang even regretted telling him about it at this time, but even if he didn't tell him, Zhao Zhen would know about it sooner or later, after all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and if Zhao Zhen knew that he didn't report it, I am afraid it would be even more painful.

"Cousin, you do something for me!" After a long while, Zhao Zhen suddenly sat up straight and said to Li Zhang.

"No problem!" Li Zhang didn't ask Zhao Zhen anything at all, and directly agreed.

"I want to trouble my cousin, you to go and help me investigate the Cao family's woman's previous marriage!" Zhao Zhen said immediately.

"Investigate this? I understand! Li Zhang was stunned when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, and then he reacted, Zhao Zhen wanted to let himself investigate whether the Cao family woman was out of order, although the Cao family woman said that her husband ran away on the day of the cave room, and the two were not husband and wife at all, but this was just her family's words, and outsiders didn't know what happened that night.

"I can't trust anyone now, and I can only ask your cousin!" Zhao Zhen also said with a tired face at this time, as an emperor, he absolutely couldn't tolerate his wife being touched by others.

"But this kind of thing is only known to two parties, and even if I go to investigate, it may be difficult to find out anything." Li Zhang suddenly smiled bitterly at this time and said, he really wanted to help Zhao Zhen, but some things were really beyond his ability.

"It's okay, as long as my cousin does his best!" Zhao Zhen spoke again at the moment, this matter has become a knot in his heart, although he can wait until the Cao family enters the palace to let people verify his identity, but he really can't wait, and except for Li Zhang, he no longer trusts others.

"Okay, I'll leave for Yongcheng tomorrow!" Li Zhang immediately nodded and said, as far as he knew, Cao Xi's family, as well as Li Shiheng, Li Zhi's father and son, were all in Yongcheng now, and if they wanted to find out the situation of the cave house that day, they could only start from Li Zhi and Cao's two parties.

Seeing Li Zhang's promise, Zhao Zhen finally showed a comforting expression on his face, and he also wanted to be alone at this time, so Li Zhang also got up to say goodbye and leave, and when he got home, Qingori also asked about his experience of meeting Zhao Zhen with concern, Li Zhang did not hide it this time, and immediately told Zhao Zhen what he wanted to investigate.

"Even if it's an ordinary man, I'm afraid he will have the same thoughts as His Majesty, but how can you investigate this kind of thing, is it difficult to go to Cao Xiaoniang and that Li Zhi to interrogate?" When Aoori said to the end, she also said with a worried look on her face.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, but I think that Li Zhi is very strange, but he jumped over the wall and escaped on the night of the cave house, could it be that Cao Xiaoniang is ugly and scary, so he will refuse to cave the house?" Li Zhang also speculated wildly at this time.

"Impossible, since Little Lady Cao can be elected as the queen, her appearance must not be bad, it must be Li Zhi's own problem!" Qingzhi retorted at this time, Li Zhang also felt that it made sense after hearing it, but now he can't guess anything just by guessing, so he will know if he goes to Yongcheng tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang took people out of the capital, this time he didn't bring wild dogs, this time he just went to investigate the matter of Cao Xiaoniang, there would be no danger at all, and secondly, Xiuxiu was pregnant, and still needed wild dogs to take care of her, so Li Zhang left him in the capital to take care of Xiuxiu, and he left the capital with a group of guards, and the adopted son of this guard was Lao Dao.

The old knife and the blind man and the lame man are the first three nursing homes of Li Zhang's family, and later they became the teachers of the wild dogs, and now they are old, and the body of the blind and the lame is also a little not very good, mainly because the old injuries suffered when they were young recurred, so now they are all Li Zhang's pension at home, but the old knife is in excellent health, even if it is nearly sixty years old, but it can still play a seventy pound knife, of course, this kind of knife is only for exercise, and the old knife is still only an ordinary waist knife.

Yongcheng is located in Shangqiu in later generations, and it happens to be the easternmost part of Henan Province in later generations, and Anhui and Shandong are very close, in terms of distance, the distance from Kaifeng to Yongcheng and Kaifeng to Luoyang is about the same, but there are many mountains and rivers in Luoyang, and Yongcheng to Kaifeng is almost all plains, so Li Zhang They also walked very fast, and it only took two days to reach Yongcheng.

Yongcheng is an ancient city with a long history, which existed as early as the Xia Dynasty, and even later archaeologists found more than ten primitive social human settlements in Yongcheng, such as the ruins of Wang Youfang and the ruins of Zaolutai, which are part of the Longshan culture.

Yongcheng in the Great Song Dynasty is also a quite prosperous city, mainly because Yongcheng is located on the bank of the Grand Canal, ships need to dock in Yongcheng, and even the origin of the name Yongcheng is also related to the canal, it is said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went south to play, when the Huai River and the Bianhe River have been flooded, most of the cities on both sides of the river were flooded, only the Yongcheng that was still called Ma Fu at that time was safe and sound, so Yang Guang gave the name Ma Fu as Yongcheng, which means "permanently solid, destroyed but not destroyed".

When Li Zhang and his party came to Yongcheng, it was already evening, because they were worried that the city gate would be closed, so they also hurried into the city, but Yongcheng was still very lively at this time, especially the wharf was brightly lit, even at night, there were still many ships on the wharf that were nervously loading and unloading goods.

Li Zhang and they found a hotel near the dock to stay, this time Li Zhang came to Yongcheng without publicity, and even deliberately asked people to dress up as a caravan, after all, if he came to Yongcheng with his identity, I am afraid that he will be surrounded by local officials the next day, and then he will not want to hear any news.

After resting for a night, Li Zhang was woken up by the noise on the dock the next day, and after he had breakfast in the store, he immediately asked people to inquire about the situation of Li Shiheng and Li Zhi's father and son.
