Starting with Xue Lucha, Xie Yaoguang rushed north from Xingyang to Cangzhou with the fastest speed to Tongye Linchen. When she was still on the road, Xue Lucha had already been escorted into Beijing, because Wu Goutai's people hid the matter very well, so that when Xue Lucha entered Beijing, no one on Shouwang's side knew about it.

Without the permission of Emperor Li, Wu Goutai was silent about Xue Lucha's arrest. Shouwang and his party didn't learn the news until three days after Xue Lucha was arrested, but this was because Emperor Li had already found out what Xue Lucha had done in Xingyang City.

After learning that Xue Lucha was arrested, Xie Yaoguang pretended to write a letter of blood to Emperor Li. The words on it wept blood, and almost everyone who saw it was indignant. immediately ordered a strict investigation of the matter, and reprimanded Xue Zitang in front of King Shou to govern the Xue family, and this kind of person went to Ren Xingyang to assassinate the history and caused such a disaster.

Of course, what is even more infuriating is that the grain in the Changping warehouse located in Xingyang City has disappeared, but Xue Lucha has been unable to say what is going on. Emperor Li was furious after hearing this, and ordered Wu Goutai to torture Xue Lucha and ask the truth, where could he have expected that Xue Lucha would actually die in Wu Goutai's prison. Emperor Li was furious, but he had to hide the matter.

Xie Yaoguang, who was still on the water, looked at the flying pigeon in his hand and laughed. Things are really as she expected, and King Shou's side may not let Xue Lucha have a chance to speak at all. It's just that as soon as the matter comes out, I'm afraid that Wu Goutai will go to investigate this matter strictly. Who infiltrated Wu Hook Terrace and killed Xue Lucha, intending to seal him up.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Yaoguang let go and threw the letter into the incense burner on the side, looking at the rising white smoke and hiding the sneer in his eyes.

After sailing in the water for more than a month, Xie Yaoguang and his entourage arrived in Cangzhou, standing at the bow of the boat and looking at Ye Linchen who was standing on the shore and greeting with a smile, her eyes were full of smiles.

As soon as the boat docked, Ye Linchen walked to her side and said, "Yaoyao, you've worked hard all the way." ”

"It's been a bit of a delay to get this late, but I'm glad I didn't lose my life. Your Highness, I have already brought you what you wanted. Saying that, Xie Yaoguang took off his hat and looked at Ye Linchen with a smile, his tone was soft, "Zhuo Jing will be able to arrive in Cangzhou the day after the ship escorts the appointment." ”

When he left Xingyang and went north to the canal, Xie Yaoguang sent Zhuo Jing to pick up the grain purchased from Changping and escort it to Cangzhou, while he took Suzaku Qingluan and others to Cangzhou to meet Ye Linchen.

The important thing is to reassure the people first, so as not to provoke civil unrest for too long. The most important thing is not to let Emperor Li make an edict for this matter, even if Ye Linchen handles the matter well, Emperor Li will probably have a grudge against this son.

As Xie Yaoguang expected, Cangzhou City was almost devastated, most of the people in the city were yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and even some people were lying on the side of the road at will, staring blankly at Ye Linchen and the others who were passing by.

Cangzhou City is already in this situation, but it is conceivable that the scene outside Cangzhou City may be even more sour.

The severity of the Cangzhou disaster was far worse than she imagined.

The two stood side by side at the top of the city, looking out at the almost dead woods outside the city, revealing large swaths of parched land. Xie Yaoguang not only lowered his eyes and sighed, did God think that the emperor had no way to send such a disaster to the world, or was this the karma that the world should bear? Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Green

"When I first came to Cangzhou, I was shocked to see such a tragic situation. I'm afraid that's what the people say. When he said this, Ye Linchen's tone was somewhat helpless.

When I didn't get involved in government affairs before, I just didn't want to get along with it because I felt that the darkness of the court made people want to get along with it, but when I started to get in touch with government affairs, I realized that no matter how dark the court was, those people were always innocent, and they didn't know what impact every struggle of those big people would have on them, and they didn't care who was the next heir. They just want to live well.

But it's a pity that those big people often cause these innocent people to be so miserable that they leave their homes for their own selfish desires.

"If those people don't hide this matter for the sake of so-called political achievements, it may not cause such a disaster if they report it to the court in time." Xie Yaoguang pursed his lips and laughed, his black and white eyes were filled with endless coldness, "When I first arrived in Xingyang, I never thought that Xue Lucha would dare to do such a thing. I don't know if the Xue family was able to hide this matter with their hands and eyes, or if they simply regarded those ordinary people as ants and didn't care. ”

Although Xie Yaoguang and Ye Linchen had correspondence during this time, in addition to simply reporting safety, each reply to the letter said a lot about Chang Ping, and rarely mentioned what Xue Lucha did. It seemed that the mention of this person made Xie Yaoguang disgusted, so he simply didn't bother to mention this person.

Thinking about this, Ye Linchen couldn't help but hook his lips and smiled: "Your speed of action this time is really fast. I remember that at that time, you had only been in Xingyang for a few days, and you pulled Xue Lucha off the horse. ”

"How can the sins he himself commit so easily escape, let alone those innocent people, even if they die, but they are still watching from there every day. It won't give Xue Lu a chance. Saying that, Xie Yaoguang raised his head and looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and put his hand on his forehead to block the sun's rays pouring down.

Sure enough, the scorching sun is like the blazing of people's hearts, and no matter which one it is, people dare not look directly at it.

Suddenly, there was a crow cry in my ears, and I saw a group of crows hovering in the sky and falling among the dead trees, scrambling to land on the ground as if they were sharing something, and the forest seemed to be filled with a strange atmosphere.

"Let's go, I'll take you around the city."

As he spoke, Lin Chen took Xie Yaoguang's hand and went down, and the two of them interlocked their fingers. Looking down at the hands held by the two, Xie Yaoguang originally wanted to break free, but this move made Ye Linchen hold her hand tighter, as if he was afraid that he would run away from him.

Seeing this, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but smile, and there was helplessness in his eyes. Now it is still the scorching sun, and it is very hot, and not long after the two of them left, Xie Yaoguang already had a layer of sweat beads on his forehead, and his back was also covered with sweat stains, and his body was sticky and uncomfortable.

Ye Linchen, who noticed that something was wrong with Xie Yaoguang, found a slightly worn oil-paper umbrella out of nowhere and handed it to Xie Yaoguang, motioning for him to hold it up.

Looking at the oil-paper umbrella in front of him, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking twice, he propped up the umbrella to block the sunlight above his head. Originally, Ye Linchen borrowed an umbrella for Xie Yaoguang, who would have thought that she would put the umbrella on top of his head.

Although Xie Yaoguang is already tall, if he holds an umbrella for Ye Linchen, it will inevitably be a little difficult. Seeing Xie Yaoguang tiptoeing and looking at himself crimson, he couldn't help but hook his lips and take the umbrella, and the smile in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
