The woman was trembling in front of the handsome man with a face as dark as a Rakshasa, unable to tell the whereabouts of Princess Zhaoyang.

Seeing that the emperor could no longer bear it, Zhao Li scolded, "Who are you and why are you here?"

"My name is Tao Niang, and she is a shepherd in the flower house in the city. Ever since I got three taels of silver that day, I have been eating and drinking well in the princess's boudoir, which is full of flowers and plants, and heaps of gold and jade. ,..."

In Tao Niang's simple mind, in the past few days, she felt that her ancestors were smoking, and she was dreaming of a rooster flying up the branches and turning into a phoenix.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes, "Mr. Yue, I really don't know where the princess has gone."

"Delay it and interrogate it severely!"

Zhao Li pouted at the soldiers beside him, knelt down on one knee, and raised his hands to Lu Lingchuan, "Your Majesty, please tell me what will happen next!"

"What should I do? Do you still need me to say it clearly? You idiot!"

Lu Lingchuan's chest was twitching with anger. So many well-trained soldiers couldn't even look down on such a big living person. Fortunately, Shen Yao was able to run away on his own. What would he do if he encountered a thief?

"Of course, after Princess Zhaoyang entered Sichuan, everyone she met and every place she went to were questioned and searched. I don't believe you can't find any clues!"

"Also, Fei Ge sent a message to the capital and sent people to keep an eye on the Grand Master. Yes, there is also Xue Yue. As soon as there is news, he will report it immediately!"

Seeing that the emperor was worried about gains and losses, and his nerves were so tense, another man in black who followed him this time took a step forward, bent down, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I just made a divination and everything is fine with the princess. We even had a great joy with His Majesty.”

"Really? There's still great joy?"

Lu Lingchuan stroked his chest. Is it a great joy that he didn't get mad at Shen Yao?

"Zhao Li, please lead the people down. Next, carefully check all the people the princess has met during this period."

"Chun Yu Fenglei, just stand guard outside the door."

After traveling so much, Lu Lingchuan felt really tired at this time.

He wanted to close his eyes and take a nap on this embroidered bed, but then he remembered that the woman named Tao Niang had been staying here for several days. I felt really disgusted, so I simply went to the side courtyard where I entered the mansion today.

After entering the house, he threw himself on the bed and closed his eyes.

Although Yao Xing returned his living soul, his body is gradually recovering. But after three days of traveling under the stars and the moon, he was really tired.

Once on the bed, he was soon snoring evenly.

The prefect of Shuzhong was admiring the moon in his mansion with his beautiful concubine Xin Na.

The beauty is like a flower, which attracted Li Xie's poetry, "She is as delicate as a bright moon, how far away is the bright moon..."

"Sir, someone is coming from the capital. Please go to the front hall quickly."

The boy came to report.

"Come, come, what kind of person can come, who can have the honorable status of Princess Zhaoyang who is the direct descendant of the Grand Master!"

Li Xie was not happy that the visitor spoiled his mood and cursed impatiently.

"I don't know whether he is noble or not, but the Beijing official has a bad temper. He hasn't seen you for a while and has already smashed all the antiques and porcelain in the flower hall." The boy said with a sad face.

Li Xie was furious, "I am a third-grade official personally conferred by His Majesty. Today I want to see who he is and dares to come to my prefect's house to act wild!"

Walking to the flower hall in a high-spirited manner, Li Xie took a look at the tall figure like an iron tower from a distance, his knees softened, and he knelt down.

The majestic man in black clothes stood with his back turned, holding a Tang sword with cold light in his right hand. The word "pardon" was faintly visible on the handle, and he was playing with a gilt waist medal in his left hand.

"I didn't know that the imperial commander ordered Mr. Zhao to come to my humble residence. I am sorry to hear you come from afar, but I hope you will forgive me."

Li Xie said tremblingly.

"Master Li, this is really a nice humble place!"

Zhao Li smiled coolly, "One year to become the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver were spent. I don't know how much people's wealth and money were collected to build this humble house into such a rich and luxurious place."

"Master Zhao is making fun of you."

Li Xie hurriedly said flatteringly, "I wonder why Mr. Zhao came here late at night?"

"Your Majesty and the prefect are very concerned about the princess's arrival in Sichuan. They want to know how the princess is spending her time."

Fearing that someone with ulterior motives would know the news that Princess Zhaoyang was missing, Zhao Li hid it.

However, when Shen Yao entered Sichuan, he summoned doctors from all over the world to diagnose his pulse, and the news that Xiao Xizi hired a carriage to go to Jiazhou was quickly discovered.

Li Xie followed Zhao Li and also went to the princess's mansion by the Huanhua River. Although he was still confused and confused at this time.

But as soon as he entered the mansion, Zhao Li took him by the collar to the side courtyard, and then coldly said to him, "Master Li, just kneel here and wait for the order."

"Master Taishi, I took good care of the princess when she entered Sichuan. Look, the Sichuan cooks and the servants who sweep the house are all carefully selected and sent by me. There is also the gold of the Yi leader. The belt, the bronze vessel unearthed in Guanghan County, after I got it, I sent it to the princess without stopping..."

Li Xie was not ashamed of his behavior. Instead, he was very proud of his family treasures.

Zhao Li held up his forehead. At this time, in the side courtyard, the emperor had already gotten up from the bed in the side courtyard. After learning the whereabouts of Princess Zhaoyang, he was not in a hurry.

However, he folded his arms with great interest and counted all the crimes committed by the Shuzhong prefect.

"Reply the book for the Grand Master and order him to select the chief inspectors, starting from the middle of Shu, one by one, one by one, for me to inspect. This country is conquering Tubo and subduing isolated cities. Corrupt officials are being investigated and found out, which is just the right place to fill the gap. A shortfall in the treasury!”

Lu Lingchuan smiled happily and said, "My trip to Shu was only possible because of Princess Zhaoyang. The idea of ​​ordering an edict to eliminate corruption was also inspired by Princess Zhaoyang. Therefore, this achievement should be recorded to the County." On the main head.”

"Send a message to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites. The princess is virtuous and ask them how they should be commended!"

At this moment, the gloom in Lu Lingchuan's chest was swept away. He has already made up his mind and will go straight to Jiazhou at dawn tomorrow.
