Several years passed.The regret from that year has always been in my heart, like a huge gap.

"Back to the emperor, I am ordering people to search for him with all his strength. Maybe, maybe there will be news recently."

Emperor Zhengde became angry and walked back to the dragon throne angrily.

"Maybe, maybe! It's been three years! I want to see people when I'm alive, and I want to see my body when I die! I've been waiting for almost three years! You still use such words to excuse me!"

"If you hadn't sent troops in time, how could their mother and son be missing and their life or death uncertain?!"

"Liu Jin, you disappoint me so much!"

Liu Jin trembled with fright, her legs weakened and she knelt on the ground: "I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Liu Jin raised his head and took a peek, and saw Emperor Zhengde's face full of anger and gnashing his teeth. He quickly added: "Your Majesty, Qian Ning, a thousand members of the Jinyi Guards, are looking for you in Huai Lai recently. There should be definite news coming soon!"

Emperor Zhengde had just picked up the brush on the table and was about to throw it out. When he heard this, he seemed to be frozen.

After a long while, he weakly let go of his hand and sat back on the dragon chair.

"There's no need to rush this matter. Let's check it out slowly." For some reason, he suddenly felt a little homely and timid.

If the news is bad, how should he respond?

Without any definite news coming, he could still imagine that mother and son were living peacefully in a stable place, and he wouldn't feel so guilty inside.

……

Qin Liu and Yang Shen arrived at Shabaozi Town smoothly.

She felt an unreal feeling when she entered her courtyard and saw the guards in full array of uniforms waiting in full array.

This is my home?
Did I go wrong?
It wasn't until a familiar face appeared from behind the crowd that Qin Liu slowly came back to his senses.

This person is Qian Ning, that Jinyi Guard Qianhu!

Yang Shen stepped in front of Qin Liu and said, "What are you going to do?!"

Qian Ning looked at Yang Shen with a smile but not a smile: "The eldest son of Mr. Yang Ge, a great talent who is famous all over the world, is really extraordinary."

"It's just that the Jin Yiwei is handling the case and arresting the relevant people according to the emperor's order. I also ask Mr. Yang to avoid it."

"May I ask what you call me?" Yang Shen frowned slightly, but did not move his body, but straightened his back.

"I am Qian Ning of the Imperial Guard Qianhu. I am the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Eunuch, Eunuch Liu, and I am Qian's adoptive father." Qian Ning lazily played with the embroidered spring knife in his hand.

I met the Widow Liu today, and a great achievement is just around the corner.

This place is only a few days away from the capital. Once he returns to the capital and reports to Liu Jin, his rise to fame will be just around the corner!
He rubbed his hands with uncontrollable excitement.

Turning to look at Widow Liu behind Yang Shen.

I have to say that this woman in plain clothes is very good-looking, with fair skin, a pretty face, and a graceful figure. At this moment, she actually looks calm and calm.

"Come here, escort Mrs. Li Liu to the car!" Qian Ning waved his hand gently.

"Wait!" Qin Liu finally spoke.

"Sir Qian, there is no rush at this moment. Please let the civilian woman go home and see how the elderly and children are doing."

"Your old man is in good health and is at home. As for the children, the older one is also at home, and the younger one is already on his way to Beijing."

Qin Liu's throat tightened and he raised his feet and walked forward.

The Jin Yiwei who surrounded them, under Qian Ning's instructions, made way for Qin Liu to enter the house to check.

Sure enough, Li Laoha and Li Dalang were sitting on the kang tremblingly, looking at Qin Liu with complicated and surprised eyes.

Qin Liu stepped forward and knelt under the kang.

"Dad, Da Lang!" Qin Liu couldn't help but burst into tears.After not seeing each other for a year, Old Man Li has become visibly older, and Li Dalang has also grown quite a bit taller.

Old Man Li's dark and wrinkled face was full of tears, and his voice was hoarse: "Erlang, he..."

"I know, I know, dad!" Qin Liu held Old Man Li's hand.

"Dad, Dalang, please stay at home and I'll come back to see you when I'm free." Qin Liu didn't say much, kowtowed to Old Man Li three times, touched Li Dalang's head, and went out.

Li Dalang chased him out of the yard, crying: "Mother, mother!"

Qin Liu was surrounded by Jinyi guards and got into the carriage, waving to Li Dalang.

Qin Liu's mood was relatively stable. She had been wandering around the Ming Dynasty for more than half a year, and she found it strange that she had just been caught.

Yang Shengui is the son of the elder, and he is just protecting himself along the way, so there should be no problem.

If she talks about regrets, her biggest regret is not being able to meet Bals and say goodbye properly.

……

What surprised Qian Ning was that the heavily armed Jinyi guards along their way were blocked in front of Juyong Pass.

What surprised him even more was that the carriage that had been escorting Widow Liu's second son for a day tomorrow was actually on fire outside Juyong Pass in front of him.

There were even a few shrill cries of young children coming from the carriage.

When a group of people put out the fire and rescued the child in the carriage, the child had already expelled a lot of air and had less air in.

Qin Liu rushed into the crowd in a panic, held the child who was completely covered in black smoke in his arms, and shouted in disbelief: "Erlang, wake up, Erlang, wake up!"

The toddler only lasted about a day and then passed away.

Qin Liu cleaned the child's body, put on new clothes, and held the child in his arms without saying a word as if he had lost his soul.

Qian Ning was shocked and angry!
How is this going?

Who did it? !
No matter how stupid Qian Ning is, he now understands that this child is the emperor's only dragon heir!
Who was so bold as to burn the prince to death in front of all the defenders at Juyongguan? !
What frightened Qian Ning even more was that Widow Liu looked at him like she was looking at her son's murderer.

Does he dare to bring such a widow Liu to Beijing to present to the emperor?
Wouldn't that be a reminder?

No, he had to think of a countermeasure.

Qian Ning took Widow Liu and Yang Shen to spend a few days outside Juyong Pass.

He didn't know that a hunting operation had been launched against Liu Jin in the capital.

……

On August [-], the eunuch Zhang Yong, who was ordered to go to Anhua to quell the rebellion, prepared to go to Beijing to offer prisoners.

Liu Jin asked Zhang Yong to postpone the offer of prisoners again, because August [-]th was the funeral of Liu Jin's brother, the governor and fellow magistrate Liu Jingxiang.

However, Zhang Yong insisted on offering prisoners in advance and received the support of Emperor Zhengde.

After presenting the prisoners, Emperor Zhengde bought wine to comfort Zhang Yong, and Liu Jin and others were waiting on him.In the evening, Liu Jin left. Zhang Yong seized the opportunity and quickly took out the memorial he had prepared, reporting Liu Jin's ungratefulness and listing his seventeen major crimes.He also took out a document to punish Liu Jin that listed Liu Jin's crimes, saying that Ningxia officials had reported this to Liu Jin, but Liu Jin had withheld it.

Emperor Zhengde was already slightly drunk at that time, lowered his head and said, "Liu Jin has failed me."

Zhang Yong immediately said: "This is a major matter and must be dealt with immediately without delay."

Some of the Eight Tigers who had conflicts with Liu Jin also agreed, so Emperor Zhengde immediately ordered the arrest of Liu Jin, imprisoned him in a vegetable factory, and sent official schools to seize his residences inside and outside the palace.

The next day, Emperor Zhengde presented Zhang Yong's memorial to the cabinet and ordered Liu Jin to be sent to Fengyang.

Liu Jin tried to save the defeat, so he wrote a white letter to Emperor Zhengde, complaining that he was tied up naked, and begging for one or two pieces of poor clothing to cover his body.

Emperor Zhengde relented and immediately ordered Liu Jin to be given hundreds of old clothes.
