Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Emperor Sheng An waved his hand. "No, I'm just angry. I didn't expect Chen Feng to cause such a big mess. Fortunately, he spoke out now. If it were the rainy season, I can't imagine how many more innocent people would die!"

Li Delu didn't force it anymore, but poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

At this time, Zhan Yan was still fighting with the men in black in the forest. He did not see Emperor Sheng An and felt extremely anxious.

So, every move they made was a killing move.

However, the men in black seemed to be endless and there were more and more of them!

In the end, Shadow Soul fell into the hands of the man in black due to a mistake.

He shouted, "Tell me, where is the eunuch who was with you? Did you hide him?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Shadow Soul's eyes, and he said sarcastically, "Guess!"

The man in black raised his hand and punched him in the face, causing his mouth and nose to bleed.

The man in black roared, "Do you think I'm joking with you? Let me ask you one more thing, where did he go?"

Before Yinghun could speak, he suddenly heard a sharp feather arrow shooting towards the black-clothed man's head.

"Puff!" The black-clothed man's head was shot directly.

Zhan Yan rushed over, picked up Yinghun and ran away.

The man in black was chasing wildly from behind, and the scene was very shocking for a while.

When Lin Yiwan and Xiao Rui arrived, they saw such a horrifying scene.

The two of them shouted almost in unison: "Come up quickly!"

Lin Yiwan grabbed Zhan Yan, while Xiao Rui directly pulled Yinghun onto the carriage.

Zi'er raised the whip and the carriage galloped along the pipeline like flying.

Seeing that they were about to lose the opportunity to catch up, the men in black all rode their horses.

But in a moment, they came again.

Lin Yiwan's face was filled with anxiety. She asked worriedly, "Ah Yan, where is the emperor? Aren't you with him?"

When this issue was brought up, Zhan Yan felt a little upset.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know, I lost him!"

"Lost?" Lin Yiwan and Xiao Rui were both shocked.

Zhan Yan nodded dimly, "That's right. I originally told him to hide behind while Shadow Soul and I went to deal with those men in black. But in the blink of an eye, not only did I lose him, but even the men in black couldn't catch him!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but take a deep breath. This was big trouble.

The current emperor was lost by Zhan Yan, wouldn't those ministers in the court scold him to death?

She said quickly, "No, we can't leave here. Maybe he's found a place to hide?"

Xiao Rui also nodded: "Yes, we must find him no matter what. The country cannot be without a king for a day!"

Zhan Yan understood this logic very well, but he always felt that Emperor Sheng An's disappearance was very strange.

It's like he did it on purpose!

It was just a brief moment of thought when the sound of fierce fighting was heard outside.

He quickly opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Li Youde arriving with the Royal Guards.

He spoke without hesitation: "I know, the emperor must have been escorted back to the palace long ago. He is using me as bait!"

Xiao Rui looked at him in surprise: "Marquis Zhan Yi, what is going on? What bait is this? Why don't I understand?"

Zhan Yan ignored him and rushed out of the carriage.

He shouted at Li Youde: "General Li, was the emperor sent you?"

Li Youde replied respectfully, "Yes, Marquis Zhan Yi, the Emperor has summoned you to the palace immediately. This general is here to deal with the aftermath!"

Zhan Yan gritted his teeth, turned around and returned to the carriage.

He ordered Zi'er: "Go to the palace!"

After saying that, he sat in the corner angrily with a furious look on his face.

Lin Yiwan wiped the blood off his face with a handkerchief and said, "The Emperor is safe and sound. Shouldn't we be thankful?"

Zhan Yan frowned. "He lied to me. He actually said he didn't bring any secret guards with him. I believed him and went to fight him to the death, but he ran away. How mean!"

Xiao Rui couldn't help but speak: "Zhan Yihou, you are a minister and he is the king. He doesn't need to explain to you what he does, right?"

Zhan Yan glared at him in dissatisfaction: "This is my carriage, what gives you the right to be on it? Get off!"

Xiao Rui retorted, "What's wrong with me being up there? Why are you so stingy? What's wrong with giving me a ride? Not only are we officials in the same court, but we're also the civil and military masters of the charity hall!"

Lin Yiwan quickly acted as a peacemaker: "Alright, stop arguing, and let's talk about everything after we see the Emperor!"

Zhan Yan leaned over to her ear and said, "I think we've all been used by him. He's using me to lure Ye Tianqing out!"

Lin Yiwan was shocked all over. She never expected that the emperor would take such a risk. Now she was afraid that something had happened in the palace.

When they arrived at the imperial study, they saw Emperor Sheng An with a dark and ugly face sitting on the large dragon throne.

Xiao Rui was the first to step forward and salute: "Your humble servant greets His Majesty!"

Emperor Sheng An waved his hand and said, "Xiao Qing, please don't be polite. I heard that you have become Mr. Wen of the Shantang School. Congratulations!"

Xiao Rui quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty. When I returned with Marquis Zhan Yi, we were chased by men in black. I wonder if Your Majesty is okay?"

Emperor Sheng An raised his eyes to look at Zhan Yan, a guilty look flashing across his face.

He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Because I have secret guards to protect me, I returned to the palace early to deal with an incident!"

Sure enough, this sentence aroused Zhan Yan's curiosity: "What happened?"

Emperor Sheng An gritted his teeth and replied, "Many court officials, led by Minister of Works Chen Feng, have intruded into the Imperial Study under the pretext of begging me to forgive Concubine De!"

Zhan Yan gasped when he heard this. If the emperor had not returned in time, his Zhan Yihou Mansion would have been condemned by everyone.

If he fights against Yan, he must die to atone for his sin!

What a great Ye Tianqing, he finally jumped out.

He quickly pressed the issue, "Your Majesty, can you force out the identity of the mastermind behind Chen Feng's actions?"

Emperor Sheng An shook his head: "He has never met that mysterious man. Moreover, he was used because he had evidence against him!"

Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask, "What kind of leverage could a Minister of Works have?"

Emperor Sheng An raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Prime Minister Xiao, do you still remember the construction of the dam in the south three years ago?"

Xiao Rui nodded. "Of course I remember. At that time, floods were rampant in the south, and countless people were killed and injured. The emperor adopted the left prime minister's proposal to build a dam to divert the river water, and allocated 500,000 taels of silver to the Minister of Works!"

Emperor Sheng An closed his eyes tightly, his face full of annoyance.

He gritted his teeth and said, "That fellow Chen Feng embezzled a total of 250,000 taels of silver. And that silver didn't fall into his hands. Most of it was extorted by the mysterious person!"

The three of them suddenly changed their expressions at the same time. They were so brave.

Xiao Rui spoke quickly, "So the dam is simply too useless to be used? Will the people still be displaced during the rainy season?"
