Yinzhen cleared all obstacles on the road a little ahead of Yixiu.

Evil people, kill them!

However, the people who were forced by life were gathered together and asked to go to Tongcheng to find Yinzhen.

This matter was done by Yinzhen. He couldn't just focus on fighting for power and ignore the people.

When Yinzhen and Yin'er were in Tongcheng before, the people did not riot. On the contrary, disaster relief was carried out very well.

Now Yinzhen is on his way back to Beijing. If Yinlu fails to do a good job, then his future succession may not necessarily be a credit.

Yinzhen was happy to give him a little more work.

After clearing a section of the road, he did not continue forward. He planned to wait for Yixiu and the others to come over, and then he would continue clearing forward.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, Yixiu still did not show up.

Yinzhen was very anxious.

I hope Yixiu doesn’t encounter any problems?

My mother's people were clearly protecting them in secret.

Could it be that something went wrong with the person we were protecting?

Yinzhen's heart tightened.

Although the skills of the people sent by my mother were not as good as his, they were definitely not bad and were enough to deal with ordinary refugees.

If even he can't solve it, then it will be a big trouble.

He rode back.

He had already walked the way here, so he went back a little faster.

From afar, through the rain, he heard the neighing of horses.

Soon he saw Yixiu's figure.

Their horses were stuck in the mud, and Yixiu and Randong were working together to try to pull the horses out.

The hat on Yixiu's head fell off and she could hardly open her eyes.

Although she was dressed as a man, Yinzhen still felt that she was exceptionally beautiful at this moment.

However, they have encountered such trouble, and the people in the dark have not come out to help. I don’t know if they have encountered any danger.

If that's the case, then he must stay with Yixiu.

He walked over, grabbed the horse's reins, and pulled the horse out with force.

With his strength, the horse was able to move forward in no time.

Yixiu subconsciously looked up to see who the person who helped him was, and then he was stunned.

"Fourteenth brother!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Dong also hurriedly saluted: "Fourteenth Master."

Yinzhen didn't want Yixiu to know that he followed her here, and looked at them with a blank look: "Do you know me?"

Then he pretended to take a closer look at Yixiu.

"Fourth sister-in-law! Why are you here?"

Yi Xiu glared: "I should be the one asking this question to my fourteenth brother."

"The dam collapsed this time, and it was definitely not caused by Fourth Brother. I want to come here to look for evidence."

Yixiu murmured, "We actually have the same goal."

"What a coincidence."

Yinzhen said, "Since we have met, let's go together. You two women, even if you disguise yourself as men, will have many inconveniences and the risk of being recognized. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by following me."

Yixiu thought about it and felt that Yinzhen must be trying to comfort Concubine De.

After all, Yinzhen is also Defei's biological son and his biological brother.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Fourteenth Brother."

Yinzhen said: "Fourth sister-in-law, since we are in disguise, we should not address each other according to the old rules. I will call you Fourth sister-in-law..."

"Mr. Fu," Ran Dong said quickly from the side.

She almost called the wrong person these days, so now she just called Yixiu "Mr. Fu".

Yinzhen immediately understood where this name came from. He smiled and said, "Brother Fu, then you can call me Master Shi."

With Yinzhen by her side, Yixiu gradually felt relieved. Although she knew that Concubine De had sent someone to work in secret for her, she would not feel at ease if she could not see him, and that person was not someone she knew.

-----------------

It took three days to arrive in Tongcheng, one day later than expected, but everything was still in time.

It was naturally impossible for them to go find Lao Jiu, and they even had to avoid his eyes and ears.

The three people went directly to inquire about Li Rongbao's residence and went to find Li Rongbao.

However, Yinzhen did not take the usual route at all. He directly broke into Li Rongbao's house.

Li Rongbao was startled, then looked carefully.

"Fourteenth Master, why are you here?" He walked quickly to the window, closed it, and lowered his voice, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here for my fourth brother's matter."

He pushed Li Rongbao towards the door and said, "Don't say anything else. Ask my fourth sister-in-law to come in first. He can't climb through the window."

"What? Who's coming?" Li Rongbao doubted his ears.

"How could you be so ridiculous and bring the Fourth Lady along with you!?"

"Hush..." Yinzhen looked at him, "Are you afraid that others can't hear you? Now that they are here, can we send them back? Fourth sister-in-law's brain is much more useful than yours and mine, so it's right to let him check it out."

Li Rongbao was speechless for a moment and couldn't find any reason to refute.

Li Rongbao went personally to bring the person back.

But when facing Yixiu, he was not as casual as when facing Yinzhen.

But he still said: "When the incident happened, I was on a bandit expedition and was not here. Before leaving, Yinzhen had sent people to investigate the dam, but they had no clues at all. The whole process was handled very cleanly."

"I'm afraid it's all in vain for you to come here."

"Moreover..." Li Rongbao hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his opinion, "This matter can only punish Yinzhen for not controlling his subordinates strictly. The link where the problem occurred should be punished."

Yi Xiu sighed, "You don't know what the rumors are like in the capital now."

"Everyone said that Yinzhen used sandstone instead of bluestone in order to pass off inferior goods as good ones and enrich himself."

"Even if the emperor and other court officials knew the truth, under the influence of rumors, there would probably be a lot of criticism against Yinzhen in the court."

Li Rongbao and Yinzhen are both our own people.

Now Yinzhen has also given up the fight for the throne.

Yixiu was able to speak a few truths in front of them.

"You all know what Yinzhen's purpose is. Every step is crucial now. This reputation must be cleared."

"It's not a good idea to just stop the rumors. As long as Yinzhen is not cleaned up, even if there are no more rumors, the people will think it's Yinzhen's fault."

Yinzhen never thought that one day he would hear the word "shit" from Yixiu's mouth.

Li Rongbao thought about it and realized that it was true.

"Fujin is right. I didn't think it through. Yinzhen's reputation is the most important thing now."

"It's just that Yinzhen has checked those places, and I have checked them too, but there is no result."

Yi Xiu said, "Old Nine is on guard against you, so naturally you won't be able to find out anything. Now you are in the open, while Fourteen and I are in the dark, disguising ourselves and unraveling the mystery. As long as they really did it, it will be impossible to erase all traces, and we will eventually find out."

"Your main job in the open is to block Lao Jiu's sight and prevent him from noticing anything."
