In the chamber of Wuxing Palace.

After Li Yan and the ministers of the Southern Patrol had dinner together, they dispersed everyone, leaving only the people in the East Palace to listen to the ceremony.

When there was no one left and right, Wen Li took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, presented it to Li Yan, and said in a low voice: "The minister is pondering, it's almost all on it." ”

Li Yan unfolded it and glanced at it, and then burned it out with a candle flame.

"Just keep an eye on it, you don't have to make a big move-" Li Yan looked lightly at the name on the paper being swallowed, "Yao Wuji is down, if someone gets lost and knows how to return, it will save some effort." ”

The names on it, including old faces at the court, and nobodies who have never heard of them, are all over the ministries and offices of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and the involvement with Jiangnan is also deep and shallow, and it is impossible for him to dig them up one by one.

Wen Li whispered "yes".

After all the handwriting was swallowed, Wen Li's face was relieved, and he said with a smile: "That person is really good at hiding, and he has been hiding in the mine valley, no wonder Yao Wuji can't find it." ”

Li Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Yao Wuji is looking for him, and these people on the list will also look for him, give him some gold and silver privately, and don't reveal his identity." ”

Listen to the courtesy.

Li Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Wenli's uncle entered Beijing, the case has been hanging for nine years, and now, it is over.

Nine years ago, the Wen family entered Beijing and reported through the secret report of the Duke of Qi that Yao Wuji, the king of Wuxing County, had secretly cast military weapons, with the intention of rebellion.

However, the south of the Yangtze River is far away, and it is difficult to start, so in the end, he can only send Cheng Muhong in the imperial history to patrol the south and investigate secretly.

Later, Mu Hong died in Jiangnan.

Before Mu Hong died, he had a letter that he sent to Chi Changting, who admired him very much.

The letter seemed to be just an ordinary exchange, but he informed Chi Changting in code that he was going back to Beijing, and he was afraid that his certificate would be lost, so he was temporarily hiding in Wutou Village.

Qi Guogong arranged for Chief Chi to serve as Wu Jun outside the court, also to find the celebrity card, but he never found it.

Who would have thought that the celebrity card would disfigure himself and hide in Yao Wuji's secret mine?

Last year, I don't know what method Yao Wuji used to learn the content of the letter, and also knew about the existence of human evidence.

After looking for no evidence for a long time, he took advantage of the flood in the early summer of this year to destroy the embankment and release water to flood the entire Wutou village.

Next, the prince was ordered to tour the south, provide disaster relief and comfort the people, and disguise himself to investigate secretly.

In the end, because of the disappearance of a little girl, it ended all this early.

Thinking of this, Li Yan frowned and asked, "Haven't Yao Eleven and Yao Seventeen been found yet?" ”

Yao Wuji's seven sons and eight daughters are all there, but the adopted daughter of Xing 11 and Yao 17, who walks in the world as Qin Gui, are missing.

"Yao Shiyi secretly left Wucheng in June this year, and his whereabouts are unknown; Looking for Yao Seventeen, Chi Taishou took the initiative to take it, but he hadn't heard any news yet. Wen Li replied.

Li Yan nodded in understanding.

If Chi Taishou wants to avenge his daughter, he will definitely refuse to fake his hands.

"Your Highness—" Wen Li suddenly stopped talking.

Li Yan looked at him in silence.

Wen Li bowed his head slightly, and said, "The minister heard that the soldiers of the Xuancheng Mansion and the soldiers of the Jinling Mansion were transferred without order——"

"There is an order." Li Yan said.

Wen Li raised his eyes and glanced at him, and continued: "The Jinling army marched to the territory of Wucheng and met the order, and the Xuancheng army was led out by the Xuan clan and met the order in the territory of Xuancheng!" ”

Li Yan looked at him lightly and was silent.

Wen Li looked directly at him and said, "It's not surprising that the Xiao clan can move the Jinling army, but the minister heard that the Xuancheng Xuan clan led the Xuancheng army together with the Xuancheng clan, and Chi Taishou's henchmen——"

"Your Highness, why did Chi Taishou privately transfer the Xuancheng Army without being ordered by the East Palace?"

"There is an order from the East Palace—" Li Yan said, "You remember, Gu gave him the East Palace order." ”

Wen Li's face was indignant: "Your Highness—"

"Your Highness—" Suddenly came from outside, "Chi Taishou asks to see!" ”

Li Yan glanced at Wen Li and said, "You should step back first." ”

Wen Li narrowed his expression, bowed respectfully, and retreated.

When he retreated to the door, he ran into Chi Changting, who was walking inside, and each saluted, and then passed by.

After Chi Changting entered the house, he saluted as usual.

"What?" Li Yan glanced at him, only to feel that his expression was ordinary, and there was no expected anger, so he couldn't help frowning.

Could it be that Chi Changting was confused by the woman surnamed Zhu and did not make decisions for Ah Tang?

Just as he was about to ask, Chi Changting took the first step to speak: "The minister has been away from Wu County for many days, and he is afraid of internal instability, so he wants to ask His Highness to allow the minister to return to Wu tomorrow." ”

Li Yan asked, "Has Chi Qing found Yao Seventeen?" ”

Chi Changting said indifferently: "I haven't found it yet, the minister suspects that Yao Qiqi has escaped from Wuxing County, and plans to continue to send people to expand the scope to arrest Yao Qiqi after returning to Wu County." ”

Li Yan thought about it and felt that this statement was impeccable, so he had to nod and say, "It's too urgent to start tomorrow, let's change it to the day after tomorrow, and go back to Wu County with you." ”

Chi Changting raised his eyebrows and looked at him and asked, "Your Highness doesn't stay in Wuxing to deal with the rebellion against the king, what will you do in Wu County?" ”

Li Yan said: "The traitorous matter has been dealt with. ”

Chi Changting was taken aback: "It's all dealt with?" Hundreds of people in Wuxing's palace have been tried? Yao Wuji's properties have been searched? Private mines, casters, and the army, have you all asked? ”

Li Yan nodded.

He never did things early or late, especially after guessing that Chi Changting deliberately left it alone and took his daughter away, he deliberately accelerated his speed.

Chi Changting looked at him in astonishment for a while, but laughed, and said sincerely: "In this way, His Highness can return to Beijing in advance to resume his life!" ”

Li Yan was silent for a moment and said: "It's not in a hurry to go back to Beijing, it's rare to come to Jiangnan once, and I want to learn more about the people in Jiangnan." ”

Chi Changting said with a smile: "Your Highness has such a heart, which is a blessing for the people of Jiangnan!" His Royal Highness has already inspected Wu County before, why don't you go south from Wuxing to Yuhang first, as well as Huiji and Dongyang, which are all places with beautiful scenery! ”

Li Yan glanced at him and said, "Forget it, if you go to such a place, I'm afraid it won't be too late to return to Beijing before the year." ”

Chi Changting nodded with a smile: "Yes!" Yes, extremely! Your Highness should return to Beijing as soon as possible! ”

Li Yan also nodded and said, "Before returning to Beijing, Gu still wants to go to Wu County to visit Mrs. Yan Guo." ”

Chi Changting smiled: "His Royal Highness is really affectionate to Mrs. Yanguo, and it is not enough to visit Mrs. Yan Guo for more than two months. ”

Li Yan thought to himself that he couldn't talk about him, so he simply changed the topic: "Chi Qing's term expires this year, why don't you go back to Beijing with Lone?" ”

Chi Changting sneered in his heart and said: "The minister's entry into Beijing after the expiration of his term of office is a matter of Layue, His Royal Highness leads so many people, he can't stay in Jiangnan for more than three months without incident, right?" ”

Li Yan glanced at him and said, "Layue is going north, the road is cold and unbearable, Chi Qing doesn't care——"

There was no need to finish speaking, Chi Changting understood, his face changed and changed, and finally glanced at Li Yan faintly, and said, "Rong Chen think twice!" ”

Li Yan knew that he had persuaded Chi Changting, and he no longer pursued him, but instead talked about another thing: "If Chi Qing is worried about Ah Tang's safety, Lone will still send Tsing Yi to Ah Tang's side——"

"No need!" Chi Changting flatly refused, "Miss Zhu and Ah Tang get along very well!" ”

Li Yan's face sank suddenly.

Chi Changting was really confused by the woman surnamed Zhu!
