An Chengyue looked at Liu An's reaction and asked: "If you choose not to say it, it's okay, but if you ask the Queen Mother what she has done for so long, your wife and children will die in vain." ”

Liu An looked up at An Chengyue suddenly, and after a while, those bloodshot eyes slowly calmed down, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want to know?" ”

"I want all the information you have."

Liu An didn't agree directly, but said to An Chengyue: "I can tell you some first, but for the rest, I want to exchange with you." ”

An Chengyue raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "How to exchange?" ”

"You can find the bones of my wife and children for me, and bury them well, and I will tell you everything I know. I'm sure I won't be able to escape death after that, and I want you to stand with them. ”

"Okay."

An Chengyue agreed without thinking about it.

Half an hour later, An Chengyue came out of the dark room and handed a copy of what Liu An said just now to the guard beside him.

"This Liu Shu's ambition is greater than that of the Queen Mother, and he doesn't listen to the Queen Mother so much, you take these to Li Yi and ask him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and I will chase Fu Yao."

The guard nodded solemnly.

This piece of paper is part of the information of Liu An's confession.

But just this part, it also involves some forces around the capital, the Liu family has been in business for so many years, and the involvement everywhere is very deep, and even the last head of the Liu family sent a message outside the capital before he died, preparing to enter the capital.

Although they were temporarily suppressed by Liu Shu, these people did not stay away from the capital.

I'm afraid that Liu Shu has also brought a lot of people into the city in private.

Linchuan.

Li Yan changed out of his fancy clothes and only wore a moon-white loose robe, and his face was slightly pale.

Next to Li Yan, an old man with crane hair and goosebumps, wearing a gray cloth short, trousers rolled up, and simple straw sandals was pointing to the other side of the river, talking to Li Yan sideways.

There are no people here, and Zhang Jiqian, according to Li Yan's orders, has asked the government to move almost all the people here to the city in the shortest possible time.

The river wind blew in gusts, and Li Yan listened to the old man's words, and his expression became a little more solemn.

"It seems that it is not an easy task to deal with the flooding here."

The old man is Zhang Hengzhi, who moved to visit Li Yan before, he has been stumbling for decades again, the government doesn't care about things, even if he has a way, it is useless, and now in the face of Li Yan, Zhang Hengzhi is also outspoken.

"To deal with floods, there is always a way to solve the geography and geology here, but the bad habits of officialdom are not so easy to solve! The son of the emperor's daughter went here in person, but the emperor looked at those officials, they killed people and killed the king for their own interests, what could they not do? As long as the money is in their hands, and after a few years of promotion and departure, who will take the people here to heart? ”

Hearing this, Li Yan's eyes darkened slightly.

But after a while, Li Yan said again: "Speaking of this, it also involves you and I living here, and we are running around every day. ”

Zhang Hengzhi hurriedly waved his hand: "The emperor cares so much about the people here, what is the grass people's rush?" Just ......"

He hesitated for a moment before looking up at Li Yan: "The emperor has been avoiding it recently, and the grass people have heard from Lord Zhang that it is rumored in the city that the emperor has disappeared and lost his life. ”

Li Yan smiled faintly: "This matter is not in a hurry, I have my own consideration." Let's go upstream again. ”

“……”

Zhang Hengzhi looked at Li Yan and stopped talking.

In the end, he just followed silently.

In the official office, several officials were in a hurry, and when they saw Zhang Jiqian coming in, several people instantly surrounded them.

"Master Zhang, what can I do about this now! The emperor has been missing for several days, and we have no news at all! ”

"Master Zhang, is there really no news at all?"

"Master Zhang......"

Zhang Jiqian was surrounded by everyone, only hearing a noise of chirping in his ears, he didn't hear a word clearly, he hurriedly pacified everyone, and he couldn't show his composure.

He sighed and said with a sad face: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are in a hurry, but the people who can be sent to find it have already been sent out, and there is no news." ”

"So what now?" Wang Yong frowned and said: "It stands to reason that the emperor disappeared in the city, shouldn't there be no news for so long?" Is there not enough manpower? Otherwise, bring in the surrounding troops, this is ......"

"Lord Wang, how can we drop this garrison?" Qian Tong hurriedly reminded.

Wang Yong suddenly realized at this time, and patted his head: "Yes, we don't have a military talisman, but this!" ”

Wang Yong spread his hands and looked at everyone, the rest sighed, and Wang Yong looked at Zhang Jiqian again.

"Master Zhang, you have to think of a way."

"I'm already trying to figure it out, but it's ......"

Zhang Jiqian also pretended to be powerless, but looked around quietly, the people around him were basically worried and frightened, he focused on one of them, the person was mixed in the crowd, his expression was also full of panic and worry, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Jiqian only said that there was no news, and he wanted to take someone out to find it, so he turned around and left.

Wang Yong and Qian Tong thought about it, and quickly took someone out.

When Zhang Jiqian came out of detention, he saw a carriage parked in front of the official office, and before he could speak, he saw the entourage open the carriage and poke his head out of the carriage.

Zhang Jiqian was taken aback!

Empress!

Zhang Jiqian hurriedly stepped forward, and waited respectfully for Fu Yao to get out of the carriage and come around, before he said, "Queen Mother, you ...... How did it come? ”

As Zhang Jiqian spoke, he looked at the simple carriage beside him.

Fu Jiao also knew Zhang Jiqian, he was the champion of the new department before, and she was also there when the Yangxin Palace took over the important task of water control.

Fu Yao stepped forward directly and asked, "What about the emperor?" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Jiqian subconsciously glanced behind him, but no one followed out.

Zhang Jiqian thought of the emperor's attitude towards the queen that he saw in Beijing before, he would not hide government affairs, and he really valued the queen and was not guarded, and the queen came over like this, and it was not conspicuous.

After only thinking for a moment, Zhang Jiqian said: "Please ask the queen mother to get into the carriage and go with the ministers." ”

Fu Yao nodded.

After getting into the carriage, Zhang Jiqian led the way in front, and the carriage quickly left the city, and the entourage asked Zhang Jiqian to sit in front of the carriage and guide the way.

Now that there is no one on the path, Zhang Jiqian said through the carriage curtain: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, the emperor is fine, and the so-called disappearance is just a rhetoric to the outside world." ”

In the carriage, Fu Jiao was relieved when he heard this.

She rushed all the way over, and she always felt uneasy.

Now that she heard Zhang Jiqian say that Li Yan was fine, she finally didn't have to worry about it.
