The emperor thought that Xiao Hanyin could take advantage of this opportunity to secretly find some evidence that King Cheng slandered court officials and formed a party for personal gain.

However, King Cheng hid it too well, and he has not found anything so far.

The emperor didn't want him to waste any more thoughts and energy, after all, there were still many things waiting for him to come back to do in the imperial city.

Since Xiao Hanyin left, Du Wenhai was so busy that he didn't even have time to go back to his house to rest, and stayed in the secret organization all day long, running errands for the emperor and the prince.

However, there are too many things he needs to deal with alone, and it is inevitable that there will be things that he can't take into account.

This secret organization was secretly established by the emperor, and not many people knew about it except for his henchmen......

The emperor had great expectations for the organization, so he spent a lot of money and effort.

Du Wenhai is cautious and strives for perfection in his work, so he has no chance to go back to his parents to do his filial piety.

Now, in addition to the crown prince, he is the one who is most looking forward to Xiao Hanyin's return.

After the prince discussed privately with the emperor, the emperor took up the pen and wrote a few sentences, preparing to send someone to send them tomorrow.

As a result, just as he was about to deliver the letter to his confidant, a minister of the court suddenly came to ask for an audience......

On the other side, Xiao Hanyin didn't know that things had changed, so he and Mo Xuanyu continued to be in Jiangnan and investigated the situation.

Two days later, they were ready to find King Cheng to resign and return to the imperial city.

The deadline they gave had arrived, and Governor Li's side still hadn't found out.

Now, they don't want to spend any more time and effort here, and since they haven't been able to find out, it proves that the other party is fine.

What King Cheng did had already made them not tolerate half of it, but the other party was a king with a different surname from the previous emperor, and they had no way to get rid of him, so they could only see him out of sight......

Who knows, they haven't gone to become kings yet, but the other party took the initiative to bring their entourage to their husband's and wife's courtyard.

"The prince has something to do with our husband and wife?" Liu Qingshao's eyes flashed slightly.

"I heard you're going to go back?" King Cheng didn't beat around the bush and directly said his intention.

"On the trip to Jiangnan, Master Mo and I have already found the evidence, it's time to go back and report to the emperor!" He had nothing to do, so why should he stay here?

As for what he will do after becoming a king, that is something that the emperor should worry about, and he has no heart to pay attention to it.

After all, the emperor's move can be regarded as breaking his disobedience.

A prince who was sent back by the emperor still wants to compete with him for the throne, unless there is civil strife in the court.

The emperor has always been strict about this matter, and it is impossible for the court to be in chaos......

"Since you are ordered to send this king back, you should also have an edict from the emperor to go back, and now the emperor has an edict?" Become king.

"The lower officials have written a letter to the emperor to explain the situation, and I believe that the emperor's letter will reach Jiangnan in a few days!" Xiao Hanyin didn't expect him to use this matter to embarrass him.

"So, the emperor hasn't ordered you to leave yet?" King Cheng's face was as usual.

"Yes!" Xiao Hanyin frowned.

He seemed to have guessed what King Cheng was going to say next.

"Since the emperor has no decree on his side, why don't Lord Xiao and Lord Mo stay in the king's mansion for a few more days, and wait for the emperor's orders to act!" You are so full that they can't refute it.

Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao were very unhappy in their hearts, but they were helpless......

"What the prince said is reasonable, then the lower officials and the inner son can only bother here for a few more days!" Xiao Hanyin agreed calmly on the surface.

After King Cheng left, Liu Qingshao's face suddenly sank, "What did he deliberately leave us behind?" ”

This person is very scheming, and he will never do anything unfavorable to himself, and now he deliberately left them in the palace, just afraid that he had another plan in his heart.

They are now in Jiangnan, and there is no way to receive the emperor's reply immediately, which happens to be exploited......

"King Cheng has always had no clues to do things, but this time his illegitimate son suddenly appeared, and the mysterious man who entered his study, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to set off immediately!" Xiao Hanyin had a bad premonition in his heart.

That night, Xiao Hanyin's guess was confirmed.

In the emperor's reply, it was shown that they had found evidence, and that Governor Li had a secret with a very secret address, and few people had found it so far.

There are a lot of things hidden in that secret room, most of which have been looted by Governor Li over the years.

He is mediocre on the surface, but he is actually good at it in private, which is also the reason why his political achievements have not been outstanding.

Once his political performance is too good, he may be assigned by the emperor to other places at any time.

In this way, the contents of his secret room are likely to be leaked.

After all, if he moves his family, he puts too many things in them, and it will also attract the attention of others......

"How could the emperor find out about the secret room of Governor Li's mansion?" Liu Qingshao felt that this matter was different.

King Cheng had just used the emperor as an excuse to prevent them from leaving Jiangnan, and they received an order from the emperor at night.

She always felt that things couldn't be so coincidental.

In fact, Xiao Hanyin also thinks that the fact that there is a secret room in Governor Li's mansion is likely to be spread by King Cheng.

However, at this point, they could only continue to stay here according to the emperor's order to investigate the matter of Governor Li's mansion.

"I'll go find Mo Xuanyu, you rest early, don't worry about me!" After speaking, Xiao Hanyin quickly left.

Liu Qingshao looked at his back, and was very unwilling in her heart.

As the emperor's courtier, he has no choice at all, and this is the price he must pay for being an official.

They gain their rights and lose some of the most important things, but those people may not care...... Scale Literature

Xiao Hanyin went to Mo Xuanyu and conveyed the emperor's order to him.

"In that case, let's find a way to find out!" He also felt a little unhappy about this matter.

After all, he and Xiao Hanyin really investigated with their hearts.

However, since it was the emperor's will, he could only obey it.

"I'll go to Governor Li's house to investigate!" In the letter, the emperor only said that the other party had a secret room, and did not reveal anything else.

Xiao Hanyin and him had no choice but to re-investigate the places related to Governor Li's Mansion.

His secret room must be a place he frequents, after all, he will not be willing to put those belongings too far......

So as soon as the two of them put it together, they had an idea in their hearts.

Xiao Hanyin went to Governor Li's mansion to check, while Mo Xuanyu went to the county office.

Although he felt that the county government was unlikely, it was not completely impossible.

After the two agreed on the time, they went their separate ways, and before leaving, they deliberately changed into night clothes.

When Xiao Hanyin sneaked into Lord Li's mansion again, he quietly went to his courtyard and his study.

These two places are the easiest to hide.

However, he checked all the ornaments, as well as calligraphy and paintings, and some suspicious things, but he never found any clues.

The emperor ordered them to find out all the embezzlements of Governor Li's mansion as soon as possible.

Xiao Hanyin also wanted to end it as soon as possible, but they really tried their best.

At night, Xiao Hanyin and Mo Xuanyu met in the palace.

"I've checked, and there's nothing suspicious in his house!" Xiao Hanyin frowned.

"I have also been to the places where the county government and Governor Li often go, but I haven't found the secret room!" Mo Xuanyu said with a dark look in his eyes, "Where did the emperor's news come from, could it be that someone is deliberately obstructing it?" ”

"Probably not, if the emperor doesn't have a conclusive clue, it is impossible for him to order us to investigate!" Xiao Hanyin believed that the emperor must have a reason before making this decision.

"It's getting late, let's go back first!" He and Xiao Hanyin searched almost everywhere they could, but they never found a breakthrough.

Mo Xuanyu didn't want to continue wasting time here.

The two soon returned to King Cheng's Mansion quietly.

They thought that no outsiders knew about this matter, but they didn't know that King Cheng had known about it for a long time.

From the moment they left the palace, King Cheng's men noticed their whereabouts.

However, King Cheng didn't bother about it, after all, what they were going out for, he knew it in his heart......

"How's it going?" As soon as Xiao Hanyin came back, Liu Qingshao got up from the bed.

"Why haven't you slept yet, didn't you say you don't have to wait for me?" Xiao Hanyin's eyes flashed with a touch of distress.

"I didn't see you come back safely, I didn't feel sleepy!" Liu Qingshao walked over and took the initiative to take the night clothes he took off.

"I checked carefully with Mo Xuanyu, and I really didn't find the secret room of Governor Li's mansion!" Xiao Han's eyes were cold and said, "I'll go to the bath room first!" ”

He was running around outside, covered in sweat.

After Xiao Hanyin finished washing, he lay on the bed with Liu Qingshao......

"Ah Yin, did you say that the emperor's news was wrong?" Liu Qingshao felt sorry for him running around.

The emperor was far away in the imperial city, but he knew about Governor Li's mansion, while Xiao Hanyin and Mo Xuanyu investigated almost every day but never found anything.

She felt that something was wrong, but they had no evidence now, and they couldn't prove anything at all, so they could only do what the emperor ordered.

"Your Majesty's order for us to investigate, there must be a basis, no matter what the result is, Master Mo and I must come up with evidence that convinces Your Majesty!" Otherwise, their trip to Jiangnan this time would be in vain.

"Can't we go back to the Imperial City for a day if we can't find evidence?" Liu Qingshao's mood is getting worse and worse.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to go to King Cheng in person!" Xiao Hanyin naturally wouldn't let this happen.

"Do you think this has something to do with him?" Liu Qingshao's eyes flickered.

"Well, only King Cheng is most familiar with the affairs of Jiangnan!" He had lived here for twenty years, and Governor Li had only been transferred five years earlier.

King Cheng must have known a lot of secrets about Jiangnan officials.

However, if he really said this kind of thing, he would definitely offend the local officials.

Although he is a prince, the power in his hands is limited.

The emperor was afraid of him back then and deliberately took away his military power, so he had no power in Jiangnan, and the local officials only had face affection for him.

"I'm afraid that King Cheng won't tell the truth!" The man often didn't have a word of truth in his mouth, but he was a master of acting.

"He must have gone to great lengths to keep us here for a purpose!" Although he may not necessarily tell the truth, he will give them some clues.

After Liu Qingshao guessed what he meant, she stopped talking.

At the moment, he and Mo Xuanyu have done their best, and if there is no other breakthrough, this matter can only be dragged on.

King Cheng is the only person who can give them clues at the moment......

She also knew that at the moment, they really had no other choice but to cooperate with King Cheng temporarily.

For Xiao Hanyin, finding evidence is the most important thing!
