Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 455
Chen Yi and the lord of the Daliao Kingdom returned to the royal study in the palace.

"Master, what do you think about the refugee group?"

Chen Yi poured a cup of tea for both of them, and asked slowly.

"This refugee came very strangely. If famine broke out everywhere, how could there be no news."

"It is impossible for officials from all over the country to allow a large number of people to become refugees, or even to congregate and flock to the imperial city. There must be problems behind this."

"The widow has sent several confidantes to various places to investigate the situation before, and there will be news soon, but where should so many refugees go now?"

The Lord of the Daliao Kingdom drank a cup of tea, his brows were slightly frowned, obviously a little worried.

"Master, this may not be a good thing."

"Oh? What do you say?"

The lord of the Daliao Kingdom frowned and asked curiously.

"Master, do you still remember what I came to Daliao Kingdom for?"

"Naturally, it's a business alliance between the two countries and the construction of commercial roads, hey, you mean?"

The lord of the Daliao Kingdom asked with some uncertainty.

"That's right, let these refugees build trade roads, and the manpower problem of Daliao Kingdom can be solved."

"But there are many old and weak women and children among these refugees. Is this possible?"

"The widows are worried that letting them do such heavy labor will make people in the world talk about the cruelty of the widows."

"Hahaha, king, you are worrying too much."

Chen Yi laughed, thinking that the Lord of the Daliao Kingdom obviously thought a little too much.

"My lord, the construction of roads and cities requires not only heavy work, but also a lot of logistical support."

"For example, cooking, delivering meals, repairing clothes, etc. These tasks are small but not heavy, and most people are fully capable of doing them."

"And this also solves their employment problem. If they work hard, they can have food and clothing. How can they blame the king?"

"Even the people in the world have to brag loudly that they have such a king who loves the people like a son, and even personally finds a livelihood for the refugees, so that the refugees who can only starve to death can live in peace."

After hearing Chen Yi's words, the Lord of the Daliao Kingdom was also moved in his heart, and agreed with his statement.

"Then the question now is the real reason why these refugees are here. What do you think?"

"I suspect that this matter has something to do with Master Daoyi."

"Before, he kept obstructing the alliance between the Daliao Kingdom and the Dawu Kingdom, and then proposed twice and three times to allow refugees to enter the city."

"It shows that he intends to cause chaos in the Daliao Kingdom and is in a state of isolation and helplessness. He is likely to be a nail laid by a certain force to overthrow the Daliao Kingdom!"

"I have cleared the obstacles for the lord when I helped the lord of the Daliao Kingdom before. It stands to reason that there is no force in the Daliao Kingdom that can threaten the lord."

"Then this force is likely to appear outside the Daliao Kingdom. After analyzing the surrounding countries, I think that this force that wants to stir up trouble in the Daliao Kingdom is likely to be stronger than the Daliao Kingdom. of Phnom Penh."

The lord of the Daliao Kingdom opened his mouth wide, and was shocked beyond measure for a moment.

"Why did Phnom Penh do this? Although the two countries are not considered friends, they have always lived in peace."

"Naturally, it's for expansion, the king. Not every king hates war. Most of them are even waiting for an opportunity to annex other countries and become the unified emperor."

"Not long after the lord became the lord, the court is still chaotic, not to mention the situation in Daliao. If it were different, I would think this is a good opportunity to make a move."

"According to what you said, the Daoyi mage is probably this hand."

The lord of the Daliao Kingdom looked solemn, and he already had to think about the situation in the worst direction.

Chen Yi nodded, then shook his head again.

"I'm afraid Master Daoyi is just a trick on the surface. There must be many things behind him, such as the minister who recommended him, and even some governors and county magistrates."

"The widow immediately ordered people to arrest Master Daoyi and Taiwei Shi first!"

The lord of the Daliao Kingdom stood up abruptly and said sharply.

"My lord, don't startle the snakes. Now the Dawu Kingdom and the Daliao Kingdom have successfully formed an alliance and trade, and the refugee issue has also been resolved."

"Master Daoyi will definitely continue to make trouble in the dark, and it is more likely to contact their superiors."

"We just need to send people to keep an eye on them, and from time to time, we will reveal a few flaws seemingly unintentionally, and then we will be able to follow the clues and get the stolen goods!"

"At that time, we will only see if the king dares to kill people!"

Chen Yi's eyes were burning, and he wanted to catch all the snakes, insects, rats and ants behind Master Daoyi in one fell swoop.

"Master, there are spies reporting back."

The servant outside knocked on the door panel, and the sound came from outside the door.

The lord of the Daliao Kingdom released a spy to investigate the famine situation in various places and knelt down on one knee to report the situation of the investigation to the lord.

"What, there is no famine everywhere?"

The ruler of the Daliao Kingdom couldn't believe it. If there was no famine, where did these thousands of refugees come from?

But the spy's next words cleared up the doubts for Chen Yi and the lord of the Daliao Kingdom.

"My lord, although there is no famine in various places, my subordinates have learned that missing persons have recently occurred in these places."

"There are different numbers of people missing in various places. Most of these people are poor people living in remote suburbs, and because these people are too far away from the county town, they have not registered their household registration, so officials from all over the country don't care about it."

"Then how did they know someone was missing?"

The leader of the Daliao Kingdom expressed his puzzlement.

"Because occasionally these people will have some relatives and friends to visit, or some small merchants will go to these places to buy some unique mountain products, which will attract suspicion over time and report to the government."

"Okay, you did a very good job in this matter. It's a great achievement. Go down and receive the reward first."

After the spies left, the lord of the Daliao Kingdom looked at Chen Yi with a pale face.

"These refugees are most likely the missing people!"

"Then there must be some people hiding behind them watching them, otherwise, how could they go to the imperial city so obediently and say nothing."

"Or, they are all hypnotized!"

Chen Yi's words startled the ruler of the Daliao Kingdom.

"Is there really such a weird method in this world?"

"I'm just guessing, but I know that there is a strange flower in the Western Mandala Kingdom, called Datura flower. Once the pollen of this flower is ingested, it will cause confusion in thinking for a period of time. Manipulation can affect their recent memory."

Chen Yi's erudition and versatility made the king of the Liao Kingdom admire him immensely.

The two conspired again for a period of time, during which time they arranged many Feiyan guards with high martial arts skills to keep a close eye on Master Daoyi and Taiwei Shi.

At the same time, Master Daoyi and Taiwei Shi were sitting at home facing the case, and their faces were a little gloomy.
