Half a month later, they arrived at the mansion where King Cheng once lived.

On the way, they did not encounter any attacks or plots, and the smooth operation was incredible.

However, the more things happened, the more worried Liu Qingshao became.

She always felt that King Cheng should be secretly brewing some conspiracy.

It's a pity that on the way back to Jiangnan, he has been silent, mostly staying in the carriage, and rarely talking to Xiao Hanyin and them.

Liu Qingshao was worried that he had laid out the game in advance, and Xiao Hanyin had the same thoughts as her.

However, there are some things that they can only keep in their hearts, and as long as they don't happen, they can only keep silent.

After arriving in Jiangnan, King Cheng invited them to live in his former mansion, and Xiao Hanyin immediately agreed.

He wanted to see what the other party was trying to get in private, and live under the same roof so that he could keep an eye on him.

Of course, King Cheng should also know his thoughts, but he didn't break it directly.

After all, Xiao Hanyin is a person sent by the emperor, even if the relationship between the two has long been incompatible, King Cheng still has to give him some face.

They were originally officials who came to investigate Jiangnan, so even after living in King Cheng's mansion, they were still very low-key.

Xiao Hanyin even secretly begged King Cheng not to reveal their identities and whereabouts.

King Cheng agreed as soon as he could, after all, the situation in Jiangnan was reported to the emperor by himself.

If Xiao Hanyin didn't investigate anything, the emperor was only afraid that he would be angry with him.

After all, the emperor has an old grudge against him, and the two of them are not directly turning their faces at the moment, but because of his lack of strength.

Therefore, King Cheng naturally hoped that Xiao Hanyin could clear Jiangnan.

If there is no accident in the future, he will not leave Jiangnan, because the emperor will not agree.

Since this is the case, he naturally hopes that the officials in Jiangnan can treat him with courtesy.

As the only king with a different surname in the imperial court, his status is noble, not a nominal person who can be trampled on and humiliated by others.

He is fed up with the disrespect of others, so he has thoughts in his heart that he shouldn't have.

Obviously, he was only one step away from the throne back then, but unfortunately he was defeated in the end.

King Cheng will inevitably be unwilling, but he has been in Jiangnan for so many years, and his mood has long been peaceful.

It's a pity that he wants to live a stable life, and others don't allow it, so why doesn't he fight.

However, as soon as he started the layout, the emperor came to a trick to draw salary, interrupting all his plans.

The dark stakes and eyeliner he buried were temporarily unusable, and King Cheng was about to vomit to death.

However, there is still a chance to redeem everything, don't think that if he returns to Jiangnan, things will not be variable......

Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao lived in King Cheng's mansion, and their hearts were full of doubts.

"The courtyard is very well tied, and there is no sign of laziness, it seems that the housekeeper has done a good job in the days he left!" Liu Qingshao walked in the garden, and a glimmer of light quickly flashed under her eyes.

"Qing Shao, I plan to take someone with me at night to investigate in private first, you can stay in the room with peace of mind, if something happens outside, you don't pay attention to it!" Xiao Hanyin decided to make a quick decision.

"Be careful yourself!" Liu Qingshao held his hand and said.

"The officials in Jiangnan don't know the purpose of our trip, so they should be unprepared, and I will definitely not encounter danger when I start investigating them at this time!" Xiao Hanyin understood her mood at the moment.

However, the emperor's purpose in asking them to send King Cheng was to make him stay in Jiangnan honestly.

If the problem about Jiangnan officials is not resolved, King Cheng will have an excuse to return to the imperial city at any time.

The emperor will never want to see him again.

Xiao Hanyin wanted to directly hit those officials by surprise, and maybe he could really find out something.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, Xiao Hanyin doesn't believe it in his heart, the officials in Jiangnan really haven't done anything sorry for the court.

Those ministers in the court who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, few of them have clean hands in private, as Liu Qingshao said, whether human nature and greed can control themselves depends on the other party's family background and their willpower.

With so many officials, the poorer the family, the more they can't resist the temptation of money.

Of course, there are also people who are upright and upright and only think about the people.

It's a pity that there are really too few such officials, and the entire imperial court can't find a few.

When public officials encounter problems, their favorite thing to do is to protect themselves.

They care more about their official positions and the family behind them.

Most men in ancient times cared more about their careers, and they could do anything for this, and few were righteous and awe-inspiring and could give up their official positions for freedom.

Xiao Hanyin is one of them, but the emperor and the crown prince refused to let their husband and wife leave, so they could only continue to run errands for the royal family in the imperial city......

At night, Xiao Hanyin left directly with his subordinates.

After Mo Xuanyu learned of his plan, he also left King Cheng's mansion with his men.

They planned to act separately and find out the conduct of the Jiangnan officials as soon as possible......

After they all left, Liu Qingshao stayed in the courtyard with Senior Brother Han Feng and waited for Xiao Hanyin to come back. Excellent reading books

This is not her place after all, Liu Qingshao can't do what she wants to do, so she can only wait quietly.

However, a quarter of an hour later, King Cheng suddenly ordered some food and wine to be served.

"Why did the prince come here?" Liu Qingshao curtsied.

"This king has something to talk to Mrs. Xiao about!" Cheng Wangjing sat at the top of the side hall.

"It's not early, Ah Yin happened to go out, the prince has something to talk about tomorrow!" Liu Qingshao's attitude towards this was extremely cold.

"It's just a few words to Mrs. Xiao, you don't have to be so nervous!" King Cheng had no intention of leaving.

"Lord, if we are seen drinking together, I am afraid that it will attract criticism, and when my husband comes back, we will go to the prince!" Liu Qingshao directly opened his mouth and gave an eviction order.

Even if this is his mansion, Liu Qingshao doesn't want to give him any face.

King Cheng came over so late, obviously because the person who came was not good, and he knew that Xiao Hanyin was not in the courtyard, but he also ordered someone to send wine and food, Liu Qingshao naturally wanted to avoid suspicion.

Although Liu Qingshao was sure that King Cheng would not have any intentions towards her, she didn't want to deal with the other party.

That's why she deliberately made excuses to get rid of her.

"Don't worry, I won't stay long!" King Cheng saw her resistance to himself from her eyes, but he didn't care.

In fact, he could understand Liu Qingshao's state of mind at this time.

A woman's reputation has always been more important than her life, and if there are some rumors, the person who hurts the most is undoubtedly Liu Qingshao.

However, this is his territory, and without his approval, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, he has a way to clean up the other party......

"Lord Wang, please speak!" Liu Qingshao saw that he insisted on refusing to leave, so she had to temporarily suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart.

"These officials in Jiangnan are not as simple as they seem, they are very good at disguise, and this king was also calculated by them at the beginning, so he knew their true colors, and this king came here to remind you to remind Xiao Hanyin, don't be deceived at will!"

King Cheng knew that in the hearts of their husband and wife, they did not trust themselves.

However, this matter is related to his vital interests, and King Cheng has to go this way.

He knew in his heart that only Liu Qingshao's words could Xiao Hanyin listen to them.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely convey what you said to Ah Yin word for word!" Liu Qingshao agreed without hesitation.

"Xiao Hanyin often walks outside, you must pay attention to safety, Jiangnan seems to be prosperous, but there are many curves and curves inside!" King Cheng reminded with a kind face.

"I'm going to let Ah Yin pay attention!" Liu Qingshao said perfunctorily.

She could see that King Cheng was completely practicing in front of him, and the so-called Jiangnan officials had been making things difficult for him, afraid that it would be a lot of water.

Even if King Cheng is not good, he is also a king with a different surname who was personally rewarded by the first emperor, and his status is the highest except for the emperor and several princes.

It's a pity that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, he is not satisfied with the status quo, and wants to climb to the highest place.

It is not terrible for a man to be ambitious, but the most fearful thing is the ruthlessness in his heart......

"Your husband and wife specially escorted this king back, and this king wants to hold a banquet in a few days, and invite local officials and their families to come to the palace for a talk, and then you can investigate carefully!"

King Cheng looked completely for their sake, which made Liu Qingshao habitual.

She has always hated others posing in front of her.

"Who was the prince targeted before, and did you ever have a holiday?" Liu Qingshao didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she simply deliberately questioned what he said.

"Naturally not, this king lives in seclusion in Jiangnan, and there is no conflict with them, but since they took office, they have secretly targeted this king everywhere!" Chen Chengwang's eyes flashed with a trace of distress and said.

"So, the prince doesn't have any grudges with them, and it's completely their unilateral treatment of you?" Liu Qingshao didn't believe a word.

There has never been hatred in the world for no reason, if it weren't for what King Cheng did, the other party would not have been able to attack him in groups.

There are already problems with becoming a king, so Liu Qingshao is more inclined to say that he secretly offended others, so he will be retaliated against.

Of course, these are just Liu Qingshao's guesses, as for the facts, when Xiao Hanyin returns, there may be an answer.

"Maybe it's the presence of this king that is getting in their way!" King Cheng hooked his lips and said.

"Please forgive the courtiers for bluntly saying that the prince has raised so many guards under his hands, how can he be targeted so easily?" Liu Qingshao couldn't listen to it anymore. Xiao Chongyun

Such brazen words, I'm afraid that only King Cheng can say it.

Liu Qingshao wanted to refute him for a long time, but she was thinking that more things were better than less.

At the moment, he was vigorously in front of him, hinting at how cunning the officials in Jiangnan were, and asked Xiao Hanyin to investigate carefully.

In fact, even if he didn't say these words, Xiao Hanyin would do it.

King Cheng knew everything in his heart, but he wanted to do more, Liu Qingshao felt that he had other plans.

However, King Cheng hid it very well, and she couldn't find out the flaws of the other party, so she had to find a way to mess with him.

"What do you mean by this, Madame Xiao?" After hearing her sarcastic words, King Cheng's face was extremely gloomy.

"The people's woman is just telling the truth, the prince almost took my husband's life, forcing him to have no way out, with your ability, the courtiers don't think you will be bullied at will!" Liu Qingshao scoffed.

Even if this king wants to lie, he should find a good excuse.

What he said, even she couldn't deceive, let alone Xiao Hanyin and the emperor......
