"What?!" Xiao Yunhe was surprised and couldn't help but shout.

Xiao Yunhe thought that when Wu Yuanheng saw him, he would breathe a sigh of relief as if he had seen a savior, and then tell the truth of the matter clearly. Unexpectedly, it was such a result.

For a while, Xiao Yunhe was also a little confused, not knowing what Wu Yuanheng was thinking in his heart. If he wants to believe that people like Wu Yuanheng will be corrupt and pervert the law, it will never be possible. Could it be that there is a deep secret in this?

Xiao Yunhe stared at Wu Yuanheng with his eyebrows tightly locked, and he didn't know what to say for a while, in addition to shock, he was more confused.

Wu Yuanheng was whipped and punished, and he looked a little weak, but he still smiled and said, "My lord, I am humble...... Tell the truth. It's really a despicable violation of the criminal law and a disappointment to the adults......"

Xiao Yunhe snorted sullenly: "Do you think I will believe it?"

Wu Yuanheng closed his eyes a little dejectedly, and sighed lightly: "My lord...... It's better to believe. ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yunhe felt that he had something to say, and immediately asked.

That's what it means. Wu Yuanheng closed his eyes slightly, leaned against the stone wall a little weakly, and said, "Despicability, it is indeed deserved...... The lord is also a law-abiding person, and the prince who is responsible for his own crime is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and must not disturb the laws of the country because of his humble position. What crime and punishment should be punished, there is a judgment of the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion according to the law, and the adults must not be arbitrarily obstructed, and give people a handle!"

Xiao Yunhe's heart was aggrieved, and he couldn't wait to dig out Wu Yuanheng's heart and find out what he was hiding. originally thought that as soon as he arrived, rescued Wu Yuanheng and severely punished the evil official Liu Dehai, everything could be solved in just a flip.

But now it seems that things are more complicated than I imagined. Wu Yuanheng was silent. With his temperament, no matter how much he presses, nothing good will come of it. And the more Wu Yuanheng expresses himself like this, the more it shows that this matter is quite complicated.

Xiao Yunhe looked back at Liu Dehai outside the prison door, and saw that he was hiding in a corner, and he didn't look this way, it seemed that he was a little weak-hearted.

Xiao Yunhe stood up helplessly. said to Wu Yuanheng: "Bo Cang, no matter what kind of secret there is in this, and it doesn't matter if you are willing to tell the truth or not. This matter will definitely be investigated by this king to the end!" he turned and walked out of the prison door.

Wu Yuanheng opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yunhe's back. But he sighed secretly and closed his eyes again.

Xiao Yunhe walked up to Liu Dehai, glared at him coldly, and said: "Wu Yuanheng has a noble character and a stubborn temper, and he refuses to let this king mess with the law, otherwise this king will bring him out of prison now." Right now. And the king kept him in prison for the time being. However, if you let this king know again, who dares to touch Wu Yuanheng a single hair. He must be crushed to pieces and die without a place to be buried!"

Liu Dehai was so frightened that he nodded again and again and said: "Yes, yes, remember the lowly duty - come here, clean the cell of Wu County Order, and change him into clean clothes." Ask Lang Zhong to heal his injuries, and then serve him with delicious food and drink, and no one is allowed to slack off!"

"Yes!" a few equally frightened hell pawns immediately got busy.

Xiao Yunhe snorted coldly. Only then did he leave the cell with Gao Gu and the others. He knew Wu Yuanheng's temperament, and if he was forcibly dragged out of prison, he would not obey him to death. And acting recklessly like this may also leave some truths, which will put Wu Yuanheng in an even more unfavorable situation.

So far. There is no other way to investigate and solve this matter......

Xiao Yunhe didn't bother to stay in this smoky miasma. took people straight out of the house and arrived at the Yongzhou Post House. After a busy night, everyone was sleepy, and everyone had a good rest.

Xiao Yunhe ate a little something and freshened up a little, and paced back and forth in the room in a somewhat chaotic mood. Gao Gu and Tang Hanchen stood aside, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Xiao Yunhe soothed his tightly knit brows a little, and said to Gao Gu: "Gao Gu, you work hard, now rush back to the capital." After investigating the Imperial Historian yesterday, the king went to see the emperor and recommended the old lady and Li Jingluo to the emperor to take charge of the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory. Presumably, this morning, the Holy Decree should have been appointed. After you return to the national capital, find Li Jingluo first, and then go with him to meet the old lady. Ask them to file a case and interrogate Wu Yuanheng from the Imperial History Observatory, and it is best to let Li Jingluo, the Imperial History Zhongcheng, come and visit in person, and this king is here to wait for your news. Wu Yuanheng is a meticulous rulemaker, and only through the formal legal method of guò can I get him out of the cell first. Got it?"

"Understood. Gao Gu bowed his hand, and Zhengse said, "The humble post will leave immediately and immediately rush back to the national capital." ”

Xiao Yunhe nodded: "Well, I've worked hard for you...... Go fast and go back quickly. ”

Gao Gu promised and left first with the two armor soldiers.

Xiao Yunhe was still a little sullen, and sat down alone to think about things.

Tang Hanchen was thirty or forty years old, and he seemed to be a rough martial artist, but he was also a little careful and resourceful, and said to Xiao Yunhe at this time: "My lord, there are some things to say, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

Xiao Yunhe glanced at Tang Hanchen and said, "Speak." ”

"Yes. Tang Hanchen said, "Your Excellency is in the national capital, and it is the busiest time. Investigating and prosecuting Lu Sheng's henchmen is a matter of the court's structure, and I am afraid that it will be a little inappropriate for the adults to leave in person, right? Not to mention, there are also several important things to be done, such as the emperor's own marriage and the addition of flying dragon horses to the palace. But the adults left the capital and stayed in Yongzhou, and if they delayed a lot for a small Wupin county order, would the gains outweigh the losses?"

Xiao Yunhe said with a wry smile: "You are right, these things are very important. But...... You have been following me for a short time, and many things may not be clear. Wu Yuanheng is my best friend, and he is also a rare talent. I don't want him to be wronged or even killed by a traitor. Here in Yongzhou, there is also Lu Sheng's traitorous party to be eliminated, and the grain case can also be found here. As for the king's private affairs...... There's no hurry. There are old ladies and Xuanqing Gong in the Han Palace, and there are Du Huangshang and Li Jingluo and others, so it is no big problem to come. It's just that Wu Yuanheng's local affairs have to be handled by me personally. This king always feels. This matter is extremely strange, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as imagined. The hidden meaning is very intriguing!"

"My lord, that's exactly what I think. Tang Hanchen said, "It stands to reason that the small history of the three-grade assassination and the five-grade county order." When you see the adults, do you dare not tell the whole story? But now I don't have the slightest clue. The lowly also thinks that this matter is weird, and even ...... There is also something sinister. Therefore, if you want to build a yì adult, don't meddle in managing the land, and manage the branches. ”

"Dangerous ?......" Xiao Yunhe frowned. Playing with these two words, he said to himself, "For this king, what kind of people and what kind of conspiracy can pose such a threat?......

Tang Hanchen saw that the King of Han himself was also aware of the stakes. He stood quietly and silently. He has followed Li Mian for many years, and there are not a few things he has seen and heard in his life. is not very familiar with the young Han King in front of him. For a moment, I couldn't figure out what he was thinking in his heart.

At a loss, Xiao Yunhe simply let go and didn't think about it, and waited for the people from Yushitai to come. When the time comes, Wu Yuanheng will be transferred out of prison, and there may be some breakthroughs. At this time, it is better to go and take a good rest.

Xiao Yunhe asked Tang Hanchen and the others to retreat and rest, and he also lay on the couch. It was tired and tired, and soon fell asleep. I've been asleep for a long time, and I just opened my eyes. But I heard some commotion not far from the house. There seems to be a woman's voice in it, and it sounds a little anxious.

Xiao Yunhe turned over and got up, made a slight comb salute, opened the door and walked out. But I saw the door of the post house courtyard. Tang Hanchen and others blocked a girl and didn't let her in.

"Wu Qiyun?" Xiao Yunhe let out a startled sigh and walked forward quickly. "Tang Hanchen, let her in. ”

Wu Qiyun was wearing a long-distance Hu suit, and his expression was anxious. After hearing Xiao Yunhe's voice, he looked at it from a distance, and immediately showed joy on his face. Tang Hanchen also obeyed the order and let her enter the courtyard.

Wu Qiyun walked quickly in front of Xiao Yunhe, and hurriedly bowed down, "The folk girl greets the adult Chitose. Rude collision with the treasure driver, please forgive the sin. ”

Xiao Yunhe was also a little bored that things were not progressing, and seeing that Wu Qiyun felt a little like a treasure, he waved his hand and said, "No outsiders don't need to be polite, come in with me." ”

The two entered Xiao Yunhe's bedroom and closed the door.

Xiao Yunhe only found out at this time that Wu Qiyun was covered in dust and was quite a wolf. His expression was even more anxious and tired, and a cloud of sadness shrouded his eyebrows.

"How did you become like this?" Xiao Yunhe asked.

Wu Qiyun said worriedly: "It's not because of my brother's business...... After my eldest brother was arrested yesterday, I immediately set off for the national capital, wanting to see my lord. I didn't want to go to the national capital, but I found that the gate of the national capital was closed, so I had to wait until early this morning to enter the national capital. When I arrived at the Han Palace, I met Su Fei'er, and she told me that my lord had taken someone out of the mansion in the middle of the night last night, as if she had come to Huayuan. I guess the adults must know about my brother...... So he rushed back to Yongzhou without stopping. After driving for a day and a night, he became this wolf bèi, which made the adults smile......"

"Tell me quickly, what happened to Wu Yuanheng?" Xiao Yunhe didn't bother to be polite and roundabout, and asked straightforwardly.

Wu Qiyun glanced up at Xiao Yunhe with resentment, sighed lightly, and said, "My eldest brother is too stubborn. Those who can't be provoked have to be provoked...... Do you remember the topic you talked about with my eldest brother the last time I came to Huayuan? At that time, my eldest brother should have told you that the price of grain in Huayuan has skyrocketed, and there must be something strange about it. ”

"Yes, I remember. As soon as he heard that the price of food was soaring, Xiao Yunhe suddenly felt a wake-up call in his heart and asked, "At that time, I also told him to let him investigate closely and find out the matter clearly and solve this problem." What, what happened after that?"

Wu Qiyun frowned and said: "Later, the eldest brother naturally pursued this matter all night. Although he never told me much about his official business, I had a vague sense of it. Reputedly...... By the end of the grain case, my eldest brother should have known some definite information. But at the same time, his whole person became extremely depressed, and his temper became much worse. For two or three days in a row, he did not appear at the council. With the big brother's temperament, this is obviously too abnormal. In those few nights, I saw that he stayed up all night every day, hiding alone in his study to write and draw, and I didn't know what he was writing. Later, it happened that he was questioned by Yongzhou. I know that there must be a lot of strange things in this matter, and it must be very serious. So he hurried to the national capital, wanting to inform Lord Han of this matter!"

Now, Xiao Yunhe also clearly knew that the matter was really very serious, and hurriedly asked: "You mean, Wu Yuanheng is writing and painting alone in the room? Have you ever gone in and seen what he wrote?"

"Not beforehand. Wu Qiyun shook his head sullenly and said, "Big brother never let me interfere in his court affairs, as long as I am handling official business, he will keep me away." Later, when the eldest brother was taken away, I went into his study, but I found only a brazier and a lot of ashes. Thinking about it, the eldest brother burned all the things that were written down again. I had all the black and gray bags on my body, and there were a few remnants of handwriting left. Your Excellency, please take a look!"

After that, Wu Yuanheng took out a green cloth bag and carefully spread it out. Among the ashes of a pack of sheets, there were occasional scraps of paper left. Xiao Yunhe carefully flipped through the pieces of paper, and finally on a small piece of paper, he could see most of the words that were still recognizable.

This word made Xiao Yunhe's heart tremble inexplicably - "emperor".

It's actually a "emperor" word!

Wu Yuanheng, what did he mean by writing these things? Was he writing a letter, or was he writing something else? Why did he burn it afterwards?

Linked to Wu Yuanheng's table today, Xiao Yunhe felt more and more that things were strange. Moreover, Wu Yuanheng must have known some things that he shouldn't know, or even things he didn't dare to say, so he was unjustly arrested and imprisoned.

With Wu Yuanheng's tough, upright, jealous and hateful temperament, what else dare not be said?

In Xiao Yunhe's heart, many huge questions kept rising.

Wu Qiyun rushed for a day and a night, looking very tired, and rested for a long time to catch his breath. Seeing Xiao Yunhe's contemplative look, he sat quietly on the side, for fear of disturbing him.

After a long time, Xiao Yunhe, who had been thinking for a long time, came back to his senses, turned his eyes to look at Wu Qiyun sitting beside him, and said to her: "You have worked hard all the way, let's take a good rest first." Although Wu Yuanheng was thrown into prison, as long as this king came, at least he could save his life. You don't have to worry too much either, things will fall out sooner or later. ”

"Well, thank you, my lord......" Wu Qiyun nodded lightly, but his expression was still a little anxious, and he said hesitantly, "Actually, I also know that as long as an adult comes, the eldest brother will definitely be safe and sound." It's just that I have always had a faint feeling that my eldest brother should know something important. Just imagine, Yongzhou Assassin Shi had fought with adults in Huayuan before, and now he still has the courage to arrest my eldest brother, isn't this a clear provocation to adults? How can he be so bold to shout at adults with a small assassin history? Will there be a ?...... behind him?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe was slightly stunned, this little woman actually coincided with my thoughts, and asked, "Go on." ”

Wu Qiyun continued: "Actually, I'm just guessing...... The reason why Yongzhou Assassin Shi dared to be so bold, could there be someone from the royal family behind him to support him? Thinking of the imperial character on the handwriting left by the eldest brother, I have more and more such a conjecture. In this place of Kannai, there are many relatives of the imperial family. With the majesty and momentum of Lord Han now, those who dare to oppose the Lord as an enemy...... I'm afraid it's not an ordinary character. In the territory of Yongzhou, there are two princes of Daqi: King Shao and King Jia. These two princes are the younger brothers of the current saints, that is, the emperor's uncles. Speaking of this, Wu Qiyun obviously had some scruples.

Xiao Yunhe looked at her seriously: "Go on." There are no outsiders here, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

"Yes......" Wu Qiyun replied lightly. said, "These two princes, King Shao's fiefdom is in Yongzhou, and King Jia's fiefdom is near Luoyang, the eastern capital. The relationship between the two kings is very close, and it seems that the emperor also takes good care of them. Although they rarely show their heads in the court of Daqi, they are in the area of Guannai. The reputation is great. Reputedly...... The lord Fang Shengde who was appointed by the lord before was their local cronies, and most of the officials and generals in the area of Guannai also obeyed the orders of these two princes. Especially Liu Dehai, the assassin of Yongzhou, was a nameless official in King Jia's mansion before, in just a few years. was promoted to the dignified Sanpin Shangzhou Thorn History. ”

Xiao Yunhe frowned, and said vigilantly, "What do you mean...... Wu Yuanheng traced the case of soaring grain, and directly found the heads of King Jia and King Shao? Only then did he set himself on fire, and he himself did not dare to speak out?"

"I'm just guessing......," Wu Qiyun said with some hesitation, "with my eldest brother's temperament." As long as a traitor or wicked person is discovered, where will he not take it to justice. But this time, he would rather be wrongfully convicted. I don't dare to reveal the truth of the matter. I think that firstly, he may know that he really can't fight these two princes, and it may also cause the Daqi royal family to be overshadowed; secondly, he was entrusted by the adults to investigate this matter before, and he is worried that if this matter continues to be investigated, it will bring some trouble and danger to the adults. Thereupon...... Only then did he compromise and be willing to be wrongfully imprisoned. ”

After listening to this, Xiao Yunhe thought carefully for a while, and said slowly: "It's possible." ”

Wu Qiyun glanced at Xiao Yunhe resentfully. He lowered his head and muttered, "Speaking of which, if these things really involve the royal family, then my eldest brother ...... I'm afraid it's really going to be over. Since ancient times, there have been close relatives, and now Daqi is the world of the Li family...... If it is the prince, it is occasionally small. Naturally, it is forgiving and forgiving. In the end, only an inconspicuous little official like my eldest brother was left to act as a substitute for the dead. ”

Xiao Yunhe from her words. Hearing a little resentment and unhappiness, Zhengse said: "What are you talking about? Now it is Li Tang Jiangshan, but the world is the world of the people. The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, where is there any reason to forgive the royal family and pull people to make substitutions? Wu Qiyun, what you said is a bit of a big rebellion. ”

"I ......" Wu Qiyun's face suddenly turned red, and he said with shame and fear, "My lord forgives me, I am also angry for a while...... I am a woman, and I don't have the grand wish of my eldest brother to help the world and save the country. I only hope that my brother, who depends on each other, can be safe and sound......" Speaking of this, Wu Qiyun's eyes turned a little red.

Xiao Yunhe couldn't bear to reprimand her anymore, and said lightly: "Okay, don't think too much, let's go and rest first." I'll take care of the matter, and I won't let your eldest brother have anything to do. ”

"Well, thank you, sir. Wu Qiyun got up, saluted Xiao Yunhe, and walked out of the room. Xiao Yunhe asked the people at the post house to arrange a room for her, so that she could settle down temporarily.

Xiao Yunhe stayed quietly in the room alone, and talked about this matter carefully. Although Wu Qiyun is a woman, it is rare that she is the same as her brother, and she is quite wise and discerning. And unlike the average obedient vulgar girl, she is still a straightforward person who dares to say anything. If what she said was true, then it was very likely that Wu Yuanheng really touched the privacy of the royal family, and he would be pulled down with a bang when he saw that his interests were about to be violated. Only in this way can we explain why the Yongzhou Assassin would be so bold in detaining Wu Yuanheng, without caring about his face as a Han king.

Come to think of it, Liu Dehai should have two imperial uncles behind him. King Jia and King Shao are also likely to be behind the soaring grain prices in Guannai this time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but sigh: How difficult the country is, even the direct royal relatives want to make a fortune...... Daqi, it's really getting more and more corrupt. King Jia and King Shao are the brothers of the emperor's old man and the uncles of Xiao Yunhe, the king of my Han Dynasty. Where am I qualified and capable to argue with them? Although I am now famous, I also have some power...... Besides, I'm just a step-by-step prince, and they're the emperor's brothers......

Although I have no reason to be afraid of them, I don't know who will kill them if they really want to fight...... However, at this time, it is worth pushing the Han Wangfu to the peak and opposing the royal family? Confronting and strife, no matter what the reason, is disobedient and unfilial in the eyes of outsiders. In this way, I don't know how many of the wealthy families in the entire Guannai will turn against me. The little fame and support of the people who have just managed to operate it will be wiped out in an instant.

Xiao Yunhe was also a little distressed......

After a while, there was a soft knock on the door. Wu Qiyundi's voice sounded outside: "My lord, can I come in?"

Xiao Yunhe replied casually: "The door is not closed, come in." ”

Wu Qiyun seemed to have just freshened up, walked up to Xiao Yunhe, bowed and said, "My lord, forgive me, what I said just now." It's really disrespectful......"

"It's okay," Xiao Yunhe glanced at the woman, estimating that there must be something wrong with her going and returning, so he said, "Something." Sit down and talk. ”

Wu Qiyun was still standing, with a burst of starry light in his eyes, and said, "My lord." I did think of a way, maybe...... You can figure this thing out. ”

Xiao Yunhe suddenly looked at her with interest: "Let's hear it." ”

Wu Qiyun showed a slightly confident smile and said Kankan: "Speaking of which, the source of this matter lies in the grain. In many Caoyun warehouses in Guannai and the eastern capital, there are public warehouses for grain hoarding. However, it is strange why the price of grain has soared so much, but why has the imperial court not released grain for disaster relief and stabilized the grain market in Guannei? The official grain must have been accused by others. My eldest brother also realized this at the time and pursued it like this. My lord, think about it, who can control the official food stored by the imperial court?"

Xiao Yunhe said, "What do you mean, those two princes?"

"It's impossible to say for sure, but it's likely. Wu Qiyun continued. "They used some means to empty the granary. Then privately hoarded Juqi. I plan to take advantage of the fact that when the grain road is cut off and the price of grain is soaring, I will release the stored grain to sell it at a good price, so as to make a fortune. In the area around Guannai, including the national capital, the price of grain has skyrocketed, and the imperial court must have also attracted attention. If you are ordered to go to Yongzhou and the eastern capital to bring food to relieve the famine, His Majesty the Emperor should be able to agree. At this time, the two princes will naturally be weak-hearted, and let their subordinates temporarily put the grain back in the public warehouse, so that the lord of the mansion can check it and go back to the emperor to give his life. At this time, the two princes are not worried about my eldest brother spying on their privacy, so there is no need to be a thief and detain him. My eldest brother, isn't there a salvation?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yunhe couldn't help laughing: "You can do it, Wu Qiyun." You are a flat-headed ordinary person, and you actually use the emperor and our imperial relatives as chess pieces to play. ”

Wu Qiyun was shocked, bit his lip and said calmly: "Now, in order to save my eldest brother, I can't take care of much." Please, sir, save my eldest brother!" and fell to his knees.

"Get up first. Xiao Yunhe let her get up and said to herself, "I understand what you mean." Do you want me to give the two princes a step down, and then let them also give your eldest brother a step down to no longer embarrass him, right? However, it still does not solve the fundamental problem. In fact, I am now carrying the emperor's order and investigating the grain case. The public warehouse in the area of Guannai may be emptied, and it is more likely that it will be inseparable from the two princes. I might as well knock on the mountain and shake the tiger first......"

Wu Qiyun's heart moved, and he said, "My lord...... Do you want to meet those two princes?"

"Yo, you're smart. Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Wu Yuanheng, it's not difficult to save." My ultimate goal is to solve the current food shortage. What kind of method can be used not only to offend the two princes, but also to rescue Wu Yuanheng, and to quell this food shortage in the Guannei?"

Hearing Xiao Yunhe's words, Wu Qiyun's heart finally settled down. No matter what, there should be no problem with his own eldest brother, and the greater purpose of King Han is to solve the food problem. She thought for a while and said, "My lord, I have a way, but ...... It seems a bit silly, and it's more difficult to do. ”

"Do you have a way again?, and it's still a bit stupid?" Xiao Yunhe couldn't help laughing, "I'll hear it." ”

Wu Qiyun himself laughed a little embarrassed, and said: "Aren't those people hoarding Juqi just to make money? However, if the grain is worthless, is it necessary for them to take such a reckless step to steal the grain stored in the state to make a fortune in the country?"

"Food is worthless, how is this possible?" Xiao Yunhe was puzzled.

Wu Qiyun laughed embarrassedly: "That's why I said, this method is more stupid...... If adults spend money to buy a lot of grain from other places, and then release it to the relief grain market at a reasonable price, then the price of grain will stabilize and it will not be worthless? I just don't know how much money it will cost and how much grain it will buy. So...... It's a stupid idea. Don't take it too seriously. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe's heart suddenly lit up, "Let the grain become worthless first, and then I'll go to the public warehouses in the Guannai area to check the grain and store the grain." Those people will no longer take these risks, and there is a possibility that they will actually put the food back...... This is indeed a good way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. However, after all, the navigation is now blocked, and the grain taxes from all over the country cannot be transported into the customs. Although this method of collecting and selling grain can alleviate a temporary crisis, it is not a long-term solution after all!"

"When those people put the grain back in the public warehouse, the adults will take advantage of the situation to hold the official grain in their hands, ready to deal with the food shortage at any time!" Wu Qiyun pulled up a powder fist and said with confidence, "The Great Qi Wangshi, it will definitely not take long to recover Bianzhou." At that time, the real source of the crisis will be lifted! Until then, as long as you can stabilize the situation and support it for a while, everything will be fine! -- But my lord, do you have that much money?"

Xiao Yunhe looked at this clever woman and laughed: "I don't have it." However, I have a relative who is so poor that he only has money left. ”

That night, Xiao Yunhe and his party rested in the post house.

Now that he has some coping strategies, Xiao Yunhe's heart is also a little more solid. As long as there is no big conflict with those imperial uncles now, and the current food shortage can be solved, Xiao Yunhe doesn't want to think about those other things for the time being. As for Wu Yuanheng, it is not difficult to save him. Just wait for the people of Yushitai to take him away as soon as they arrive, and after some inspection, they will definitely be able to rehabilitate him and sue Yongzhou Assassin Mansion. In addition, Liu Dehai and Lu Sheng also have a little relationship, and some handles are also in Xiao Yunhe's hands, so he can't be spared this time. It can also be regarded as a wake-up call for his nobles and the two Great Qi princes.

Although it is said that the dog is bullied. But such a vicious dog, Xiao Yunhe beat him to death with a stick in the name of thoroughly investigating Lu Sheng's party, and I believe that King Shao and King Jia will not say anything, and will only draw a line with Liu Dehai in fear.

After these ideas were decided, Xiao Yunhe felt a lot calmer. At the same time, Wu Qiyun, the woman who didn't pay much attention to it before, was also a little impressed. Although she is a woman, she is a rare clever and wise person, and she is obviously not the vase she imagined.

Nothing happened overnight. At less than noon the next day, Gao Gu returned to the post station and reported to Xiao Yunhe that Li Jingluo, the middle of the imperial history, had already transferred Wu Yuanheng out with the official document issued by the imperial history platform, and was ready to be escorted to the imperial history platform of the national capital for trial. Yongzhou Assassin Liu Dehai and others, although they knew that this was the means of the Han Wang's envoy, but they had no choice but to release them obediently. Li Jingluo had already taken Wu Yuanheng out of Yongzhou Prefecture and agreed to wait for King Han at a post station fifteen miles outside the city.

Xiao Yunhe no longer hesitated, and called Wu Qiyun to go with him to see Wu Yuanheng. Before, the things he discussed with Wu Qiyun were just speculation after all. What the truth of the matter is, it has to be confirmed in Wu Yuanheng's mouth before it counts.

Not long after, the post arrived. Wu Qiyun saw Wu Yuanheng looking scarred and weak. Tears of sadness wept. Wu Yuanheng comforted her for a long time, but finally quieted her down.

Xiao Yunhe called Wu Yuanheng together alone. Wu Yuanheng's expression was very lonely, he didn't have his usual calmness and chic, and his eyebrows were full of sadness.

Xiao Yunhe saw him like this, and a lot of resentment and confusion rose in his heart, and said, "Bo Cang, you shouldn't be like this. The Wu Yuanheng I know. There is an indomitable heart of a boxer. Look at the way you are now, discouraged and have no fighting spirit, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Wu Yuanheng shook his head with a wry smile and said softly: "Mourning is greater than dying." My lord, I told you. Let me be punished in the Yongzhou Assassin's Mansion. No matter how it ends, I have no regrets. Why do you want to take me to the Imperial Observatory again?"

"Sue me, what's going on!" Xiao Yunhe's tone became a little tougher, although he was patient. Showing a lot of anger, "Actually, if you don't say it, I have guessed a lot!" Is it related to the soaring grain prices in the Guannai? Is it related to King Jia and King Shao?!"

Wu Yuanheng's obvious body was shocked, and he turned his face to look at Xiao Yunhe suspiciously: "My lord, where did you know so many things...... Could it be that my troublesome girl is talking nonsense in front of adults?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Xiao Yunhe looked at him with a cold face, "Your expression and eyes tell me, I guessed right." Wu Yuanheng, if you still regard yourself as a scholar, and your sincerity in serving the country has not disappeared - you will sue me. What kind of things do you know?"

Wu Yuanheng slowly closed his eyes, sighed, and said leisurely: "In the whole world, the only place that can make me lose the support of my beliefs and the principle of being a man, what else can I do?"

Xiao Yunhe's heart was shocked. He stood up suddenly, lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Are you talking ...... Emperor?!"

Wu Yuanheng smiled sadly. Silence. But his expression made Xiao Yunhe's heart jump suddenly: This matter-the soaring price of grain in the Guannei is actually related to the emperor?

"Wu Yuanheng, I really hope you're not joking!" Xiao Yunhe gasped and said solemnly.

"I didn't. I've never been a fan of jokes. Wu Yuanheng paused word by word, and said clearly, "When I found out, King Jia and King Shao were assigned by the emperor to store grain in the transfer pass and prepare to hoard Juqi to make a fortune. My heart is completely dead. ”

"This ...... How is this possible!" Xiao Yunhe was also a little unexpected, and said in astonishment, "The emperor also found me two days ago and asked me to track down the reason for the high cost of grain in the Guan. He also instructed me to say, "Kill what should be killed, and catch what should be caught." How could it be his ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Yunhe stopped alive, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart: Old man, what do you want to do?!

Wu Yuanheng opened his eyes, his eyes were full of sadness and grief, and he said in a low voice: "So far, my lord, don't you still understand? Emperor...... How can you be so big and threaten the East Palace? The emperor may not be as incompetent and weak as we imagined. His geocentric technique has reached the point of being outrageous. My lord, think about it, apart from the holy decree, what other things can divert the garrison of the garrison, and apart from the emperor's instructions, even if it is King Jia and King Shao, dare to make a fortune in a wayward manner?"

Xiao Yunhe was struck by lightning and immediately stood on the spot.

Wu Yuanheng was as unmoved as a pine, and still said in his sad and low voice: "Since the Zhu Rebellion, the emperor's whole person has changed. Not long ago, the Assassin's Mansion issued an approval document to let each state and county pay a tribute to the emperor every month. Say that this is the decree. Adults may not know about this, right?"

"I don't know......" Xiao Yunhe's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.

Wu Yuanheng said: "Maybe that turmoil made the emperor completely figure out something: that is, it is safest to hold enough wealth in his own hands and keep the military power by his side." I heard in Huayuan that the Lord had brought down Lu Sheng and Huo Xianming in one fell swoop, and I was also happy about it. But, I believe, the Lordship of the Guards. Still don't leave others behind. The emperor will no longer trust the generals. Because Zai Zhu was a military general, he rebelled; Li Huaiguang came to the rescue, but he also rebelled; the lord led his troops to capture the national capital, but brought a threat to the East Palace. ”

Xiao Yunhe took a deep breath: "You're right. The commander of the Imperial Forest Army was replaced by two other eunuchs: Dou Wenchang and Wang Xiqian. ”

Wu Yuanheng smiled helplessly and said, "Although I am in a small remote county outside the court. But these things can also be expected. Two years ago, His Majesty the Emperor was still working hard to govern the land. He trusted promising ministers, and listened to their advice, reducing taxes and appeasing the people's livelihood, ordering the whole world not to pay tribute to rare birds and beasts to avoid losing their minds, and asking the harem concubines and officials to reduce their expenditures to show simplicity. But now, the deeply stimulated emperor has gone to the other extreme. He began to collect money like crazy. Rather believe in eunuchs than ministers, narrow-minded and self-serving, and so insidious to trap the king of Han...... How can such an emperor not make Shizi feel cold. I, Wu Yuanheng, even though I am full of blood. At this time, it is already cold......"
