Chapter 735 Reasons for Travel

A girl in her 20s and 28 years old eventually died under the malicious plot of her fiancé.

Losing her innocence and quitting her bride is enough to make the young girl feel worse than death. There is even news that she is unfaithful and was then quit by her husband's family. This news is undoubtedly a worse injury.

Maybe Xie Jixin thinks that a girl’s life is always a hidden danger.

The truth of that year has been buried in the long river of history, and the only person who knows all the truth is Xie Jixin.

"Xie Jixin is knowledgeable and talkative, but there is no obvious point. But he is indeed relied on by the late emperor. When the late emperor was alive, most of the government affairs had to be handled by Xie Jixin. Xie Jixin was very glorious for a moment... Before leaving Beijing, my father told me that if I took over the Lou clan in order to avenge my aunt, my grandmother's spirit in heaven would not be happy. So I kept waiting..."

Therefore, the dignified prime minister was sick at home every day.

Relying on the little bit of the remaining shade of the late emperor, he lived a waste of life.

Maybe he was looking forward to exhausting the old feelings of the late emperor so that he could have the courage to compete with Xie Jixin.

He thought that he had suppressed Xie Jixin in political views and squeezed him out of the category of favored ministers. It would be easy to deal with him at that time. However, the late emperor had doubts about anyone, but the trust for Xie Jixin was so deeply rooted. As long as Xie Jixin said, the late emperor never doubted him.

Lou Boyun was finally disheartened and decided to lie dormant.

This dormant has been for several years, and finally... in the new emperor Fengge, he saw hope.

He admitted that he was not responsible enough, but the final situation caused by the two prime ministers fighting to the death must be the turmoil in the court, which was something that the Lou clan would not want to see.

For the sake of righteousness, he could only sacrifice Xiaoyi of the Lou family and let his aunt wait for a few more years.

Fortunately, the net of heaven is vast, Xie Jixin is greedy by nature, but he is timid and afraid. Finally, he caught the pain in the twenty years of Emperor Geng.

"Xie Jixin and I went to the north and south to provide disaster relief. The late emperor knew that we were both disagreeable. Such errands have always divided us far away, but even so, I did not give up and let someone stare at Xie Jiwei. However, the person sent to follow him only sent a secret letter back, and then disappeared, and still has no idea of ​​life and death.

The letter said that an abnormality occurred in Tongjiang. When he wrote the secret letter, he didn't know what abnormality was. So I wonder if the old case of Emperor Geng's 20th year is related to Tongjiang?"

"...I've always been curious. Even if the news is blocked, thousands of people have no trace of this kind, it sounds too sensational. No one in the world is curious? No one goes to investigate? I really can't understand." Xiao Ying felt that this matter was simply incredible.

Even if Tongguan is thousands of miles away from the capital, it is a remote town with the emperor far away.

But there are only a few thousand people, and it is not a small number to say it. How could no one talk about it after it disappeared quietly?

"The Empress misunderstood. It's not that no one is curious? But no one dares to be curious? Tongguan is a small place after all, and most people have never heard of the word Tongguan." Most people only know one acre and three-point land near their homes, not to mention that there are not a thousand or eight hundred names in the towns across the country. For most people, Tongguan is not as interested as the Shaobing at the intersection of the street, which is one cent cheaper today.

"Those who know Tongguan and care about this matter are naturally identifiable. The late emperor's ban order made them dare not say it openly... It was spread behind the scenes, and I don't know why the news came to the late emperor's ears. The late emperor was furious and picked out a few of the most powerful people behind the scenes, and casually put a name to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

After that, no one dared to mention it behind their backs. Gradually, everyone seemed to have really forgotten...

Even when it was most circulated back then, it was just that there was a plague in Tongguan, and no one in the town survived."

The theory of plague is actually not very tenable. If it is really a plague, how dare Xie Jixin hide it? The plague is not his fault. It is actually because the Tongjiang River flooded and countless people were drowned. In the summer, the corpses of some people or animals were not handled in time to cure plague. Even ordinary people know that there will be plague after a flood.

If it is a plague, Xie Jixin should report it as soon as possible.

He reported to the Ming Dynasty, and then the court sent special people to deal with it. Not only did Xie Jixin fail, he made contributions.

"Besides the plague, there is something else to say?"

Lou Boyun nodded hesitantly. "Some people say that the people in Tongguan Town built such a large ship, crossed the Tong River, and defected to neighboring countries."

"The Tong River is surging, and it is said that the heart of the river is full of whirlpools and reefs, so you can't sail at all. Even the old boatmen who have been decades dare not drive in the Tong River. How did thousands of people cross the Tong River overnight? This is even more unreliable than the plague."

Feng Ge shook his head and rejected this statement.

Although he had never been to Tongguan, he still knew the title of Tongguan as the most dangerous in the world.

This is the Tong River next to Tongguan.

Therefore, the rivers were separated by each other, and the court did not send heavy troops to guard them. The Tong River was a natural barrier.

"What Your Majesty said is that the Tong River is surging and you can't ferry at all. As for people who want to swim naked, it's even more terrible. But the plague is not very credible... If it is really a plague, Xie Jixin has no reason not to report it... There will be a terrible epidemic after the flood, which has almost become a convention.

Back then, the late emperor scolded the word "distorted people" in the hall. It can be seen that the people of Tongguan did something that angered the late emperor. I wondered if it was related to the Tonghe written in the secret letter."

Xiao Ying carefully passed the clues in her heart.

Finally, I found that such old cases were too sad. "These are just speculations. The best result is that we can find witnesses from the time... As the same thing, thousands of people, I don't believe that they were all killed. No matter what happened back then, there should be people, even if only one person escaped, but the incident in that year may scare the survivors too much. It is still unknown whether he can answer our questions smoothly. In short, we try our best to find the truth of the year. If there is no investigation, we will go back to Beijing to work hard on Xie Jixin. No matter how hard he is, I have a way to let him speak."

Xiao Ying was not bragging about this. She found that she was quite good at interrogating prisoners.

No matter how difficult it is to chew a bone, she can find a way to chew a few bites.

Lou Boyun was silent, Xiao Ying thought for a while and said, "You want to say, instead of mobilizing the troops like this, why don't you directly interrogate Xie Jixin?"

Shu Baiyun's silent body was slightly stiff, and then nodded. "Yes. I am guilty and should not doubt Your Majesty and Empress, but what the Empress said was exactly what I was thinking." Why not directly torture Xie Jixin. After severe torture, I want to see how hard the bone named Xie is.

Xiao Ying looked at Feng Ge.

Feng Ge curled his lips and then spoke to explain for Xiao Ying.

"Xie Jixin's crimes committed by your aunt are indeed insignificant compared to the thousands of people in Tongguan. You may feel uncomfortable when you hear this. This is human nature.

As the emperor, my focus will naturally be on the places where thousands of people in Tongguan are going.

Severe torture may also make Xie Jixin speak. But have you ever thought about this matter? If the late emperor instructed me, how should I deal with Xie Jixin? Could it be that I disobeying the late emperor's order?

As for your little aunt's affairs, if he said he was timid and afraid to go in and stop him, how do you think I should break up this case?"

Feng Ge's replies made Lou Boyun remain silent, but the silence at this time was not like the stagnant water just now, but the beautiful scenery in front of him was suddenly shattered, and there was a sense of panic among them. He was too whimsical and thought that as long as Xie Jixin was arrested, he would be able to ask the truth of that year and would definitely make Xie Jixin's evil retribution.

After listening to Feng Ge's words, he realized that he was confused by the authorities.

On the contrary, Feng Ge and Changning spectators were Qing.

Seeing Lou Boyun's decadent face, Xiao Ying comforted her softly. "So we have to find evidence ourselves, find evidence to deceive our superiors and subordinates, and have evidence to hide from the late emperor. Only by proving that Xie Jixin sets Tongguan into an empty city for his own selfish desires can Xie Jixin pay the price for his own actions. Only when your aunt's affairs can the truth be revealed.

When a man has greater sins, the small sin he committed appears insignificant, and only then will he speak out the truth.”

Lou Boyun was shocked. He didn't expect Xiao Ying to speak, and he didn't expect Xiao Ying to explain so clearly. After Xiao Ying finished speaking, Lou Boyun instantly realized that he was not a stupid person, but he was just a mystery to the authorities.

Queen Changning is right.

Only by putting the evidence in front of Xie Jixin and making him unable to argue, he could plead guilty.

As for the younger aunt, only after Xie Jixin admitted his serious crime and felt that such a small evil was optional, he would speak up.

"I understand. I just misunderstood Your Majesty's Empress. Two adults are a lot, please forgive me."

Feng Ge waved his hand. "I know you are a noble person. You can be misunderstood by A Ying and I. It is a bit of a skill. For those who are idle, don't talk about misunderstandings, you, Master Lou, don't bother to pay attention to it."

Feng Ge's joke-like words made Lou Boyun's face turn red and he felt a little embarrassed. He was a big man, but he felt embarrassed.

"...I'm just a little withdrawn."

"Okay, don't pay attention to him. Just a joke. When this happens, you can help him and help him govern the country well, so that the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment."

"Don't worry, I will only recognize Your Majesty as your master in this life."

"There is another..." Feng Ge talked casually, looking at Xiao Ying with a smile. Lou Boyun understood: "Only recognize His Majesty and Empress, and only respect the two."

Next, everyone discovered that Lou Xiang seemed to have changed. It was not appropriate to say that he had changed. After all, he was still the same person, but he just felt like he was dealing with people... There was no sense of estrangement or distance, as if he was born with Jia Jun, Feng Yi and the others.

Occasionally, he didn't flash to the side as he used to, but spoke enthusiastically.

The team seemed more energetic.

Let’s talk about the little scholar. After receiving a letter like his mother, he became more and more silent.

In the letter, Wu's mother asked him to go back to Fuyang, and asked him to question Xiao Ying's breach of trust. The little scholar felt that his mother's idea was too terrible. Xiao Ying never said anything like liking him or pleasing him from beginning to end. She even never mentioned repaying her kindness and marrying her.

Why should he question her?

What's more, he no longer dares to look directly at her current identity.

They were obviously walking together, but from beginning to end, he didn't have the chance to say a word to her.

The little scholar was very thoughtful, so he became more and more silent in the past two days. Compared with Lou Boyun's growing heart, it was simply two extremes.

Young Master Miao and Xiao Xiucai are about the same age. Although Miao Qian, a young man, was a little free, he had a careful look that ordinary people don’t have. He was the first to discover the silence of the young Xiucai.

After repeated questioning, the little scholar was a dull personality, and with a lot of worries, he became even more strict. Young Master Miao couldn't, so he had to hire foreign players.

Foreign aid is Captain Jia.

So one night after camping, Captain Jia called the little scholar to his side, circled him with one arm, and took him out of the camp.

"I'll talk about family matters with this guy, you guys..." he told.

Everyone watched the two of them go away with a haha. "Wenjing, we came out with Fuyang all the way, and we are considered good brothers who are loyal to each other. If you have any worries, tell your brother, you will definitely help you."

"Brother Jia... I don't want to say it, I really can't speak."

"I immediately called me "Brother" and just say whatever you have. Don't be as twitchy as a girl." The little scholar's eyes turned red when he said two sentences.

He took out the letter from his arms tremblingly, and hesitated for a while, but handed it to Jia Jun. Jia Jun swept a few times with the remaining light of the bonfire. His brow frowned suddenly... It turned out to be Feng Jiashu.

It is not uncommon for letters from his wife to write, and he often receives letters from his wife. But this letter from his family is different.

Wu's mother is a blind man, so she naturally doesn't know how to write a letter. This letter should be asked for someone to do it.

Although the person who was doing the job had already made a very gentle wording, Jia Jun still felt a chill on his back after reading the letter.

"Have you seen this letter for others?" The little scholar shook his head. Jia Jun looked through the letter and finally found that the letter was sent by the Fuyang Government Affairs Office, which means Feng Ge should know.

As for whether you read the content?

If Feng Ge scanned the three words "Miss Xiao", he would definitely not be able to take a look at the content of the letter. The content of the letter was simply... unsightly. "Your mother is so whimsical, and she still wants you to marry a princess? Why didn't she marry the emperor by herself..." This was very rude.

Although the little scholar did not want to shame his mother, Jia Jun was obviously angry. The little scholar shrank his shoulders and did not dare to refute.

"Wenjing, have you been thinking too? I think your mother's words are reasonable?" He had to ask clearly about this, but don't worry about it and put himself in. He doesn't want to take advantage of his future.

"No, absolutely not. I know my weight, so I will naturally not be foolish. It's just that my mother... she has never read books and does not argue, so she is fantastic." "No matter whether your mother has read books or not, she can tell that she doesn't lose at all.

Quietness and filial piety are good things, but blindly filial piety is stupid.

Now we can have today, and when we go out, we are called to the Lord. They are all brought to us by the girl and His Highness. We have no choice but to be loyal to ourselves. If you listen to your mother's nonsense and have any thoughts, you will be too heartless. Even your mother's words will not think so even if you are a three-year-old child.

If you save someone, you will have other intentions, and it will definitely be shameful if you spread it.

You also have to "threat" the queen to repay your kindness. Your mother's idea is simply weird... You can't be influenced by your mother's idea and do things that are confused."
