Chapter 588
The people in the north and the east certainly would not have thought that the emperor would do this. These years, they lived a very stable life, and they certainly would not have thought that after such a big incident happened in Jiangnan, they would attack them.Probably, even the Lu family wouldn't take this into account.

The emperor's face showed deep thought. Over the years, he has been deeply suppressed. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, he did not tear himself apart from the Lu family. It's not sure how long it will be, maybe it will even implicate the prince.The Lu family relies on the military power of both sides. If they can take away their backing, it will be much easier to deal with them.

Thinking of this, the emperor nodded solemnly and said: "This matter must be considered in the long term."

It must be a long-term plan. This is related to the future of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. Once there is a little rumor, it will lead to turmoil in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. Without other people's hands, there will be a civil war in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and it will be large-scale. And split, so unless it is absolutely safe, he will nod and ask people to implement it, otherwise, he still has to think about it.

It’s good to go to the north, no matter the east, there must be someone, and they must be reliable, loyal, and will never betray, otherwise, if something happens, the court will be embarrassed.

Rao Yonglie's proposal was considered bold, but the result attracted the emperor, even the crown prince and Prime Minister Yun nodded in agreement, so only the four of them knew about this matter, not even the eldest princess.

The people sent out have been looking for the whereabouts of the Jiang family, as well as Liu Liu and Mr. Mo who were hunted down, but they don't know if they haven't arrived yet, or if they are taking an unusual path, or if they have already been captured. They were caught and escorted to Beijing. Anyway, there was no news, and they almost went to the south of the Yangtze River by the way, and they couldn't find any news about them along the way.

And Liu Liu, who was missed by Yun Shu and the others, had good luck. She met her halfway and got married. Yun Yao, who followed Xiao Zhenying to Xiao's house, had experienced a lot of struggle, but fortunately, she recognized her. This made Yun Yao break out in a cold sweat.

"What's the matter? Are you injured?" Yunyao never understood why Liu Liu, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, appeared here. If she hadn't guessed wrong, they should be going to the capital.And the second sister said that Liuliu is growing grain in the south of the Yangtze River. The task is not small, and it will be a year or two before returning to Beijing.She was also thinking that after she came to Jiangnan, she would have to have someone find Liu Liu, lest her family members didn't know her.

However, Liu Liu and Mo Ningyao, who were supposed to be in the south of the Yangtze River, went to the capital, and they were covered in injuries, which is unreasonable.

Xiao Zhenying looked at her anxious look, and said comfortingly: "Our people didn't hurt her very much, but they had injuries on their bodies, and it seemed that the injuries were quite serious. Many of the wounds healed without cleaning up. They still have pus spots, if they hadn’t met us, they wouldn’t know what would have happened!” After rushing all the way to the capital, they might lose half of their lives.

"How could this happen?" Yun Yao said with a serious face, thinking deeply: "Second sister clearly said that she sent someone to protect Liu Liu, and after she successfully planted the grain that Ryan brought back in the south of the Yangtze River, let her go back. Beijing. But, except for Mo Ningyao, there is no one around her, could something really happen?"

"After they wake up, they will naturally understand!" Xiao Zhenying couldn't answer, so he said so comfortingly. "Go eat something first, otherwise, you will not be able to bear it,"

"Okay," Yun Yao nodded, not being unreasonable.

Originally, they were supposed to go back directly, but when they encountered Liuliu's incident, they had to stop, and then found an inn to recuperate the two of them.

"Have you heard? On the way to the capital, something happened," just when Xiao Zhenying brought Yun Yao to the window seat on the second floor of the inn to get some food for dinner, a voice of praise attracted her attention. Their attention—because Liuliu had an accident on the road, they were extra keen on what happened on the way to the capital.

"What's the matter? I'm just talking about it. Could it be another daughter-in-law who disappeared?"

"Everyone, don't listen to him, he just likes to bluff,"

Some people watched the excitement and asked, some people were disgusted and disgusted, with all kinds of expressions.

"The daughter-in-law is missing, let me tell you, this time, she is dead," the person who spoke was not angry, but became more and more mysterious.

"Dead?" Everyone's curiosity was aroused, and their eyes were shining when they looked at him. Someone couldn't help but said, "Wang Laosan, what's going on? Come on, it's tempting, "

"Hey, you don't know. I heard people say that a group of people were intercepted and killed when they went to the capital not long ago. The strange thing is that the corpses were lying on the ground with blood everywhere. The goods they delivered were all in good condition. , didn’t even touch the money on his body, do you think it’s strange?” After finishing speaking, Wang Laosan asked back, which aroused everyone’s interest.

"Is it because the goods are shameful, so they didn't want them?"

"That's not the case, maybe it's a vendetta, so after revenge, people don't care about those things anymore,"

"Wang Laosan, do you know what those goods are? They must have fallen into the hands of the government in the end,"

Being questioned like this, Wang Laosan seemed quite proud, and shook his head after shaking his head, saying: "The government really wants it, but the goods are all seafood pressed with ice cubes. They want it." You can't finish it, and it's a waste to hold it!"

"Bang," Yun Yao, who was drinking tea, immediately let go of the cup she was holding after hearing what Wang Laosan said. She didn't even notice that the tea knife fell on her skirt. It was Xiao Zhenying who was worried that she would be scalded. , just tidy up for her.

"What's the matter? The tea is hot, so you should be more careful," this dazed temper, cute is cute, just don't lose yourself.

"Zhenying," Yun Yao suddenly stretched out her hand to hold his hand and said in horror, "It's the second sister, it's the second sister's people, something happened to them and they were killed,"

"What?" The words burst into his ears, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Second sister's people are the only ones who deliver seafood, and those who go to the capital are the seafood stew from the capital," Yun Yao said with reddened eyes, "The seafood that was sent before was used by the second sister to hold a wedding banquet. The seafood stew business has withered due to the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River. Now the second sister wants to reorganize the seafood stew, so she sent a letter to the people in the south of the Yangtze River, telling the people in the south of the Yangtze River to quickly transport the seafood to the capital, but was intercepted and killed halfway. ,"

I don't know if the second sister knows or not, what is going on, why the second sister's person was killed, Liu Liu and Mo Ningyao were hunted down again, what happened?
Xiao Zhenying was still shocked by Yun Yao's words, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked: "Is there a mistake? Does Second Sister have such shattering enemies?"

Killing all the escorts, isn't that what it is.

Yun Yao shook her head and said, "Except for the second sister, there will be no one else, I'm sure... Besides, those guards are all skilled in martial arts, so I don't know who is targeting them,"

With a thought in his heart, Xiao Zhenying thought of something, he greeted the guard who was standing not far away, and after the person approached, he whispered a few words in his ear, the person who came came nodded slightly, then turned and left, making Yun Yao Confused: "What are you doing?"

"Have someone go investigate and find out what's going on," he asked, and then he knew what to do.

"Zhenying, do you think something happened?" The more Yun Yao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, she bit her lip while looking at him and said, "Can we go back and have a look?"

"A military commander can't return to Beijing after leaving Beijing. Without an imperial edict, it's like rebellion, you know?" He also wanted to agree, but the Xiao family couldn't easily leave without an imperial edict.This time, it was entirely because the Xiao family army had dealt with King Jiangnan and the emperor issued an imperial decree that his father took him to Beijing to propose a marriage. Otherwise, he would be the only one to propose a marriage.

Yun Yao's eyes showed a trace of sadness, but she did not make trouble unreasonably. She knew the Xiao family's position, just like the Ouyang family was forced to leave Beijing back then, and they couldn't help it at all.

"Let's have something to eat first, I have to go back and look at Liu Liu," there was no one familiar with her, fearing that she would be worried when she woke up.

"Okay," Xiao Zhenying said with a little guilt.

An accident happened to Liuliu, and another accident happened to the person who escorted the seafood to the capital. All of this must have something to do with Yun Shu. It is understandable for Yun Yao to lose her composure, so she felt guilty when she refused because she felt that she couldn't help.

Soon, Xiao Zhenying's people found out that this happened not long ago, and the corpse was still in Yizhuang. If no one picked it up, it might be thrown into the mass grave.

As soon as Yun Yao heard this, she told Xiao Zhenying to ask him to bring back the corpses of those people, and not to let them live in a foreign land, lest the second sister be embarrassing.

As long as he doesn't return to the capital, such things are trivial, so Xiao Zhenying is naturally willing to do them.He didn't shy away from dealing with those dead people when he was newly married. After all, people who often walk on the battlefield, who have experienced blood and human lives, don't care about these.

You are not afraid of killing people, let alone dead people.Moreover, doing so is also a good thing, and there is nothing to refuse.

Xiao Zhenying asked people to do this, and on the way back to see Liu Liu, Yun Yao met Ping'er, who was serving her, and said that Liu Liu had woken up, so she hurried over immediately.

"Auntie?" When Liu Liu just woke up, she saw a somewhat familiar figure. When she was really puzzled, she turned around and ran away. Before she could speak, when she recovered and sat up enduring the pain, Seeing the panting person rushing in, he was immediately dumbfounded and shouted in disbelief.

"Why are you sitting up?" Seeing her grinning and enduring the pain, Yun Yao walked in and said with a distressed face, "You've been hurt so badly, and you still try to be brave, don't you want to die? "
