After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

"It's still different."

Yan Mu threw the account book in his hand on the table and glanced at Feng Zheng lightly, "If he is corrupt, he is a corrupt official. If he does everything for the people, he is the parents of the people. Can this be the same?"

Feng Zheng said angrily: "So what if you do everything for the people, can you escape a death sentence?"

Yan Mu's eyes confirmed, "Yes!"

Feng Zheng looked at Yan Mu's firm expression, his eyes widened slowly, and he gradually became excited, "Really...is it okay?"

Yan Mu snorted, "It's just that these account books are too perfectly forged. It's impossible to rely on our assumptions. We must find evidence to prove that Yang He is not corrupt, and it is ironclad evidence!"

evidence?

The evidence is what everyone has seen, felt, and guessed. As Yang He said, as long as you come to Yanzhou, you will know the truth, but they can't just ask the emperor and all the ministers to come to Yanzhou for a walk, right?

"Yanzhou must have accounting books with accurate records." Hongxuan stood up, scanned around, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Mu, "The difference is 100 million taels of silver. Yang He cannot cover it up alone. And after covering it up for so many years, the local officials in Yanzhou must know it."

Yan Mu's eyes were sharp, "To put it nicely, Yanzhou including the people are united as one, but to put it harshly, Yanzhou is a den of thieves."

"Since Yang He is not alone, there must be account books for all transactions, otherwise it would be a mess."

Yan Mu nodded, "Indeed."

"But where is this account book?"

Yan Mu looked at Feng Zheng and saw that he was confused. He sneered and said, "This Yang He has tortured His Highness so much. When he comes out of prison, I will give him a good beating."

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "If Yang He hears this, he will definitely ridicule you: Your Highness must be able to rescue me."

Feng Zheng gasped, "My master really knows how to say that."

After a few jokes, the atmosphere finally became more relaxed. At this time, a guard came to report that Li Huai, the Yanzhou government official, was outside the courtyard asking for an audience.

"Is it dawn?" Yan Mu asked.

"Not yet." The guard replied.

"He's quite impatient."

Yan Mu got up and went outside the house, when the guard let Li Huai in.

Li Huai was still wearing the same clothes outside the fire scene. They looked very clean at the time, but now they were stained with a lot of black ash, not only on his clothes but also on his face, as if he had rolled out of the fire.

Seeing Yan Mu, Li Huai hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"Your Highness, I didn't know that you were coming to Yanzhou, so I was really guilty of not being able to welcome you from a distance."

Yan Mu stood at the foot of the steps with a playful smile in his eyes, "His Highness has been ordered to come to Yanzhou to investigate Yang He's case. I hope Mr. Li can assist His Highness."

"Absolutely." Li Huai looked frightened.

"Then please thank Mr. Li for bringing Yanzhou's tax account books for the past few years to His Highness." Yan Mu said with a deeper smile.

Li Huai frowned and glanced at Liu Yunxiang subconsciously.

Liu Yunxiang knew the profound meaning of Li Huai's glance, so he followed Yan Mu and pretended to be stupid.

Li Huai couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead behind his back, and reluctantly said: "Reporting to Your Highness, there was a fire in the government office yesterday, and all the tax account books for the past few years... were burned."

"Burned?"

"Yes."

"How could it be such a coincidence that when His Highness came to Yanzhou, those account books were burned."

"This..." Li Huai was speechless for a moment.

After the fire was put out, his people went in to search but did not find the bodies of the two thieves. They must have escaped with the account books. Who sent these two thieves? He immediately thought of Liu Yunxiang. After all, she had just arrived.

He hurriedly sent his bodyguards dressed as men in black to grab it, but he didn't want to send out more than a dozen, only to return without success.

Coming here at this time, he had the intention of forcing Liu Yunxiang to hand over those account books, but he didn't want Yan Mu to come to Yanzhou.

He didn't receive any news at all!

"Master Li, do you think it's a coincidence?" Yan Mu asked again.

Li Huai gritted his teeth secretly. He clearly had the account book in his hand, but now he joined his army. What he did was a bit shameless!

"Yes, it's a coincidence."

"Master Li, please go back to your home and reflect on it first. Your Highness will report the truth to His Majesty after returning to Beijing."

Li Huai was speechless and could only leave with a frustrated look.

The matter was discussed again and everyone was tired after a long night of work.

Yan Mu took Liu Yunxiang back to the house to rest. They hadn't seen each other for many days, so they wanted to linger for a while. But as soon as Yan Mu covered him, Liu Yunxiang thought of something and hurriedly pressed his hand against him.

"What's wrong?" Yan Mu asked confused.

Liu Yunxiang gasped twice, pushed him to one side and lay down, then took his hand and put it on his lower abdomen, "Feel it."

Yan Mu looked puzzled and touched Liu Yunxiang's lower abdomen a few times, "Are you fat?"

Liu Yunxiang glared at him, "When did you start to act stupid?"

Yan Mu blinked again, thinking of something, and then his eyes widened, "Could it be...did you come to Yuexin?"

"you!"

"No, I have to recite the Purifying Mantra several times."

Liu Yunxiang was so angry that he kicked him, "I'm pregnant!"

"Oh, what are you pregnant with?"

Liu Yunxiang gritted his teeth and kicked Yan Mu hard again.

While Yan Mu was in pain, his mind turned around and he threw Liu Yunxiang excitedly, "You, are you pregnant?"

"How dare you push me!" Liu Yunxiang glared at him.

Yan Mu was startled and hurriedly helped Liu Yunxiang up, "Are you really...really pregnant?"

Liu Yunxiang said angrily: "Is it fun if I lie to you?"

"Really?"

"You dare to question it again..."

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang, "Yunxiang, you are so amazing, you are actually pregnant!"

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "You are the most powerful."

"I know I know."

Liu Yunxiang rolled his eyes and said, "You are really immodest."

Yan Mu hurriedly asked Liu Yunxiang to lie down, covered her with a quilt carefully, and then asked her when it happened.

"You were in the palace at that time, and I originally wanted the eldest princess to tell you, but then too many things happened, so it was delayed until now." Liu Yunxiang said somewhat dullly.

When she first learned about it, she really wanted to tell Yan Mu, but he was not with her.

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang and said distressedly: "Is that right? I'm sorry."

"You are stupid. You are sorry for saying anything to me."

"sorry."

Yan Mu thought of that bowl of ginseng soup. He wanted to slap himself. At that time, he actually wanted to gamble with his life. Shangguan Xu was right, he was unworthy of being Yun Xiang's husband and the father of two children.

"I had no choice but to take this road in front of me before, but now for you and the children, I have to take it and sit on the highest seat."

Liu Yunxiang looked up at Yan Mu and asked funnyly: "What did you say?"

"I said." Yan Mu pressed Liu Yunxiang's forehead, "I want to be the emperor of Da Rong, and I want to prevent you and the children from being threatened or hurt at all."

Liu Yunxiang was shocked. Just as Yan Mu said, he had no choice but to sneer at that position in the past. This was the first time, really the first time that he said he wanted that position.

For her and the kids.
