Chapter 269: Bounty of a Thousand Taels

"But if they have come ashore, why haven't they seen anyone yet? Ye'er is not such a disproportionate person, he should come back to the palace. But I haven't seen anyone yet! As he spoke, the emperor had a hint of anger on his face.

Chang De hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is just guessing!" ”

The emperor was still angry and said: "Then tell me, if Ye'er and they went ashore, why haven't they returned yet?" ”

Chang De's face was puzzled: "This is also what Weichen can't figure out, or, after going ashore with Miss, he encountered danger?" ”

As soon as this last sentence came out, there was no trace of light in the emperor's eyes, and before Changde could react, he said loudly: "Changde, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, listens to the order!" ”

Changde hurriedly regained his mind. Said respectfully: "Wechen is here!" ”

The emperor said solemnly: "I order you to lead all the imperial forest troops inside and outside the capital." Check all the houses, including those along the moat! Not a single one to stay! Be sure to find Ye'er! As long as I don't see anyone for a day, you won't let me relax for a moment! ”

Chang De was taken aback, he didn't expect that he was just saying it casually, and the emperor actually took it seriously, he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, disturb the people's hearts at will, I'm afraid it's not okay?" ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "It's been a day and a night, and Ye'er still hasn't found it!" If you had fallen into the water and drowned, you would have floated up a long time ago! But now what is the point of seeing no one in this life and no corpse in death? Look for. Give me a strong look! If you can't find him, be careful I skinned you! ”

Changde was full of excitement, and he was busy responding: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't dangle in front of my eyes, you should hurry up and find someone!" ”

Chang De hurriedly kowtowed and then turned around and walked out, but he only took two steps when he heard the majestic voice of the emperor behind him: "Wait a minute!" ”

Chang De turned around in wonder, and heard the emperor say lightly: "By the way, there is one more thing, you go and send someone to post a notice, if someone provides information about Ye'er and that Miss Su, the reward will be a thousand taels!" ”

"Yes! Emperor! Chang De responded.

"In addition, let people close all the city gates in and out of the capital, and until Ye'er is found, all the city gates and post roads in the country are not allowed to open!" There was also a hint of firmness in the emperor's tone: "I want to go and see which one has the courage to bully Ye'er!" ”

Bullying Qi Ye, isn't that tantamount to a slap in his face? Vertical formation.

Changde heard this. He knew that the emperor was determined to investigate this matter thoroughly, if he still couldn't find out anything in the end, I am afraid that the black gauze hat on his head would not be able to keep it, he was determined and determined to find out His Royal Highness King Rong and Miss Su no matter how difficult it was!

"Wechen obeys!" Changde responded.

The emperor waved his hand again and said, "You go quickly!" Don't dangle in front of my eyes, I will have a headache when I see you! ”

Changde was a little speechless, was it the emperor who called him twice? It's time for him to be here. Despite the slander in his heart, Changde still respectfully retreated.

In the imperial study, the emperor muttered to himself: "Could it be that Ye'er has encountered the forces of the previous dynasty?" ”

More than a year after the establishment of this dynasty, the emperor muttered to himself: "Could it be that Ye'er has encountered the forces of the previous dynasty?" ”

This dynasty was established for more than a few years, but the remnants of the previous dynasty still survived, but after several generations of emperors of this dynasty, there are few of these forces left. It has been peaceful for so many years, but I didn't expect that just more than ten years ago, a person with the banner of "former dynasty" suddenly appeared in this dynasty. claimed to be the descendant of the former Emperor of Chaode, and as soon as this person made a promise, he gathered thousands of people overnight, and his momentum was quite strong.

The emperor naturally did not sit idly by, immediately gathered the army, and quickly went to encircle and suppress, those people were originally some rabble, they did not fight at all, and there were countless casualties in just one battle, and the rest of the people also fled, scattered, but the core person, the person who claimed to be the former dynasty, escaped.

For the next few years, the man was nowhere to be seen.

Until recently, that person was secretly captured by Qi Ye in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now he is locked in the prison of the Criminal Department, ready to be beheaded after the autumn.

Ye'er's disappearance this time, could it be that those remnants of the previous dynasty were responsible?

The emperor put a big question mark in his heart.

Soon, the streets and alleys of the capital were plastered with imperial lists looking for His Royal Highness King Xian, and Changde followed the emperor's instructions to close the gates of Kyoto and no one was allowed to enter or leave again. The Imperial Guards are more frequent in everyone's sight, they are often elusive, if you see them in a house in the east of the city, then the next moment you may see their majestic figure in the west of the city.

In a back garden in Prime Minister Yan's mansion, Yan Chunling sat beside a peony flower in a daze, looking at the flowers and trees.

Sixty-five-year-old Prime Minister Yan Cheng came back from the next court, and when he saw this scene in the garden, he walked over with some surprise.

"Ling'er, what are you doing sitting here?" Prime Minister Yan's loud voice sounded like a bell, which startled Yan Chunling.

"Ancestor, grandfather, Ling'er didn't do anything." Yan Chunling said a little flustered. She secretly took the expression on her face slowly.

But who is Prime Minister Yan? Those who have been officials for a generation have long developed a pair of sharp eyes that can perceive the facts. With just one glance, he saw through his granddaughter's thoughts: "Are you worried about the safety of His Royal Highness King Rong?" ”

Yan Chunling was poked in the center, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly.

Prime Minister Yan looked at his granddaughter's delicate appearance, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Chunling! Don't remember His Royal Highness King Rong, whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with you or our Yan family. ”

Yan Chunling's eyes widened in surprise: "Grandfather, what are you talking about?" Why can't Ling'er understand? ”

Prime Minister Yan sighed and said: "Today, Hou Niangniang invited her grandfather and euphemistically canceled this marriage contract, His Royal Highness the Virtuous King, you will die of this heart!" ”

Yan Chunling was struck by lightning, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Prime Minister Yan couldn't bear to see his favorite granddaughter like this, so he turned around and was about to leave, but his sleeves were tightly pulled by Yan Chunling.

"Grandfather! Why did she cancel the marriage contract? Is she afraid that something has really happened to His Royal Highness King Rong, and her granddaughter will be widowed? She doesn't have to worry! Grandfather, you go and tell her old man that even if something really happens to His Royal Highness King Rong, his granddaughter will always guard him! Yan Chunling's eyes flashed with determination, and with her pale face, this appearance was very distressing.

Prime Minister Yan didn't expect that his granddaughter would be so affectionate and unrepentant to Qi Ye, he was stunned, and said categorically: "Chunling, you listen to your grandfather!" You'd better break this mind! Although today is the grandfather that the queen mother is looking for, but the grandfather can hear that this matter is the grandfather that His Majesty asked the queen to find! ”

"You get the idea, right? The emperor won't let you marry His Royal Highness King Rong at all! Prime Minister Yan sighed and said, "Chunling! It's the Yan family who hurt you! With that, Prime Minister Yan shook his head, turned around and walked away.

Yan Chunling stood in place, unable to react for a long time.

After a long time, a hideous expression suddenly appeared on her face: "The emperor does not allow it?" Even if I don't allow it, I have to marry Qi Ye! ”

The stark sound immediately startled a bird perched on a tree.

In the Xianwang Mansion, the Xianwang Mansion sat on a pear blossom wooden chair in the room, listening to the news from the subordinates, and couldn't help but show an excited expression on his face.

"It's all been until now, and no one has found it? No one alive, no corpse dead? ”

After listening to Princess Xian's words, the subordinate nodded and said, "Yes, princess!" The emperor has already posted a notice, and the notice said that if there is someone who provides information, a reward of 1,000 taels! ”

Princess Xian's eyes widened suddenly: "Bounty thousand taels? The emperor is really generous! As she spoke, she looked at the man: "Did you tear one up and bring it back?" ”

Before the man could reply, a man strode in outside the door, and the man angrily entered the door and said, "Fool! You don't know the news, you just wait to be beaten with a baton when you bring it back! "It's Qi Yan. This time, the emperor only appointed Chang De, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to investigate the matter thoroughly, but he left him aside. Qi Yan was unhappy in his heart! Who knew that as soon as he returned home, he heard Princess Xian's brainless words. That's why he said angrily.

Princess Xian suddenly heard such an angry roar, and her whole body was trembling, and when Qi Yan entered the door, she immediately stood up from the chair tremblingly and said, "Lord, are you back?" ”

The man hurriedly asked for peace, but was pushed down by Qi Ye with a wave of his hand.

Qi Yan glanced at Princess Xian angrily, and said angrily: "If I don't come back, won't you stab me again!" ”

Princess Xian hurriedly said with a smile: "Lord, I'm just talking......"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Yan slapped him hard: "I don't know you yet?" Less pretended in front of me! ”

Princess Xian covered the bright red palm prints on her face with tears in her eyes, and there was a little anger on her face, she was the lord of Yifu who was pampered and raised, and she used to be a person who made a promise, since she married into the Xianwang Mansion, this punch and kick has become commonplace, and Qi Yan beat her that is a matter of ease.

Princess Xian had another unspeakable pain in her heart.

Since some time ago, after the virtuous king Qi Yan was drunk, he took advantage of the wine and took possession of her fiercely. Possession is possession, anyway, she is already married to Qi Yan, and this body is Qi Yan's. In fact, Princess Xian had been looking forward to this matter for a long time.

However, Qi Yan's needs were so crazy that Princess Xian couldn't bear it. The next day she couldn't get out of bed at all. Since then, Qi Yan has been crazy about her every night, often making her miserable and almost fainting.
