Chapter 63
In the imperial study room, Emperor Yanxi of the Great Xia had a cold face, looking at the kneeling general Fang Ze and the household minister Yao Chongye. This memorial from the south accused Fang Ze of atrocities on the way to the south for disaster relief.

"Fang Ze, what explanation do you have!" Emperor Yanxi's tone was low and angry, and none of the civil and military officials in the dynasty just said that Fang Ze was wrong.There was an unpredictable expression on his noble and resolute face, which seemed to be angry, but also seemed to be depressed. "Yao Chongye, tell me!"

"Reporting to the emperor, my minister and the general went all the way south, and what I saw was that the general tried his best to raise food for the victims. Although there were some extremes, it was also for the relief!" Yao Chongye dared not raise his head, and said while knelt down. With a heavy army in hand, there is no one in the court who can match Fang Ze. Although he has doubts, he dare not speak out.

"Heh, isn't the money allocated by me too small? You can go to battle to kill the enemy, but you can't protect the 50 taels of official money?" Emperor Yanxi said sarcastically.

"I can learn from the loyalty of the world. This person who robbed the official bank is the remnant of the traitor Li Qing. Please give me time, and I will definitely find out who is doing the trick!" Li Qing looked up at Emperor Yanxi, a little panicked. Said.

"Heh, Li's family is full of robbers, who is Fang Qing talking about?" Emperor Yanxi sarcastically said.

"The intruder's whereabouts are strange, and his tactics are not like people from the Central Plains. The local people said that they came for the Li family. Your Majesty, although the entire Li family has been killed, Li Qing's whereabouts have been unknown. It is not because he is lurking." Let's make a comeback!" Fang Ze said bravely, although he himself had some doubts, but apart from this, he couldn't think of anything else.

Emperor Yanxi just stared at Fang Ze, and didn't speak for a while. Yao Zhongye, who was kneeling beside him, wiped his sweat. This Fang Ze really dared to say that Li Qing has been dead for 13 years, and it won't be 13 years if he wants to make a comeback. Come out later!Feeling the oppression of silence, he felt that the emperor was about to deliver the goods, so he didn't dare to express his anger for a while.

"Okay, Fang Ze, I will give you a month, and you have to give me an explanation!" Emperor Yanxi sneered, and threw the memorial to impeach Fang Ze in front of Fang Ze, "I thought you would let Fang Ze go." It is a foolproof thing for the two Qing families to go south to relieve the disaster together, but who knew that Fang Qing would cause me such a big trouble for me, there are so many people talking, why do you want me to block it for you?"

"It's my humble minister's incompetence, please forgive me!" Fang Ze said in panic.

"One month later, if Fang Qing can't give me an explanation, then I will ask you to give an explanation to the officials and people who were disturbed by you." Emperor Yanxi spoke heavily. "Back off!"

"Resignation!" Fang Ze and Yao Chongye knelt down and said.

After leaving the imperial study room, Yao Zhongye wiped his forehead. The emperor didn't seem to blame him, but if Fang Ze was finally charged with the crime, he would hardly be able to absolve himself of the blame. "General, what should we do? Those strong men are always elusive, what can be found within a month!"

"Master Yao, why worry, this is the general's business, and it will not affect Master Yao." Fang Ze walked out of the imperial study room, and he was no longer panic-stricken just now, his resolute face was expressionless.

"General, this Yao also wants to help. After all, you and I went to the south for disaster relief." Yao Zhongye said bitterly.

Fang Ze thought that Yao Zhongye didn't make trouble, so he nodded and said: "Master Yao's kindness is appreciated, I'm going somewhere, so I'll take my leave first!"

Yao Chongye didn't want to stay, he looked at Fang Ze's direction and murmured, "What are you doing in the East Palace at this time?"

Fang Ze was going to the Crown Prince's East Palace, and he came here at this moment, but he was not looking for His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Wang Gonggong, is the Grand Tutor here?" Fang Ze asked the eunuch who came to meet him.

"Your Majesty Tai Tu is teaching His Highness the Crown Prince. Does the General have something important to do?" Although Wang Gonggong's shrill words were not very loud, Fang Ze still felt a little harsh in his ears.

"I have something important to discuss with the Grand Tutor, please report it to the prince!" Fang Ze said politely.

"General, please wait in the side hall, our family is going to report!" Wang Gonggong signaled the surrounding eunuchs to take Fang Ze to the side hall, while he himself went to the prince's study.

Fang Ze didn't feel dissatisfied. His Majesty took a fancy to the prince's studies and asked the Tai Tuo to teach him strictly. Not to mention asking him to wait a little longer, it is okay to wait a little longer.If there is anyone who can help him with the Li family's affairs, it is the crown prince and the Taifu. If it is not for the Taifu, he will not be where he is today.

After waiting for a stick of incense, a middle-aged man in gray casual clothes appeared in Fang Ze's line of sight. Seeing someone coming, Fang Ze hurriedly got up, stepped forward and said, "Master Tai Tuo."

Tai Fu Lin Muyuan was about forty years old, he looked like an ordinary scribe, with a slender and fair face, thin and slightly sunken cheeks, and small eyes, at first glance he seemed to be slightly squinting. "What's the matter with the general?" His voice was soft and comfortable.

"Teacher, you have to help me this time!" Fang Ze's resolute face showed exhaustion.

Seeing Fang Ze's appearance, Lin Muyuan chuckled and said, "Would our majestic general have troublesome things? This is not like General Fang who makes the enemy fearful!"

Fang Ze didn't care about Lin Muyuan's teasing, and the hall was deserted, so he lowered his voice and said, "Teacher, I suspect that Li Qing is not dead!"

Lin Muyuan's expression didn't change at all, and he still said: "What is there to be afraid of a traitor? Even if he didn't die, so what, would he still dare to appear in Daxia with integrity? General, you are too worried!"

Fang Ze had a knot in his heart. Although he did not regret what happened back then, without the resolution back then, he would not be where he is today.It's just that, in the bottom of my heart, I feel a little empty, and when I think about it in Midnight Dream, I can break out in sweat.He had truthfully told Lin Muyuan everything about going south, and he had also given him the full account of the one-month limit given to him by Emperor Yanxi just now.

Listening to Fang Ze's narration, Lin Muyuan's expression remained unchanged, but his slightly squinted eyes seemed to be much more energetic. "According to what the general said, your journey southward is probably in the hands of others. The most likely reason is that someone close to you betrayed you. The other party claimed that they came for Li Qing's business, but they snatched you away. In fact, he didn't kill anyone, presumably to make people suspicious of the general. Li Qing was indeed the only one who knew what happened back then, except for our people, but if it was Li Qing, he would definitely not shrink back Shuo, this person might belong to Li Qing. Since it's been a month, let's investigate slowly!"

Did someone around him betray him?Fang Ze also had this suspicion, otherwise, he would not have encountered all kinds of thieves and robbers all the way south.But who will it be?The people he used had nothing to do with what happened back then. It seemed that he had to check it out after he went back.

"As for whether Li Qing is still alive or not, there is actually a solution, but, hehe, I'm afraid that person won't agree!" Lin Muyuan said.

Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of what Lin Muyuan said, everyone who participated in the event had their own plans, fame and fortune, but there was one exception, and that person was out of love! "That's right, that person probably won't agree. The general doesn't believe it. If he insists on using a woman, let's start with the ghost around him!" Fang Ze thought for a while, and said.

Lin Muyuan smiled, and said, "Don't worry, General, we all participated in what happened back then. Even if Li Qing counterattacks, he will always be just a traitor. There is no place for him in this world!"

"But the meaning of the Holy One..." Fang Ze was thinking about how to explain this one month later, what if he couldn't find Li Qing's remnants?

"What the Holy Majesty wants is an explanation, and then the general will just give an explanation!" The Tai Tuo said indifferently. "It's been 13 years. I'm really curious. Will Li Qing really come back after 13 years of dormancy?"

"It's impossible for Li, and there is no one in the Li family, and the world only thinks that Li Qing is a traitor, but that person speaks as if he knows what happened back then, Mr. Are there any omissions in the family copying?" Fang Ze pondered, the only ones who could do their best for Li Qing must be members of the Li family.

"Li Qing has only one daughter, who died in prison back then. All the other relatives have been executed except that person. I really can't think of anyone who can stand up for Li Qing." Lin Muyuan thought for a while and said.

"Master Taifu thinks that if there is a ghost beside me, who would it be?" Fang Ze asked Lin Muyuan for advice.

Lin Muyuan couldn't help laughing, and only heard him say: "Does the general really think that Lin is a god? Of course, only the general knows the people around the general. I'm afraid the prince's article has been written, and Lin is about to pass , General, relax, Great Xia needs you, General, and for the time being, no one can replace you!"

Fang Ze's face froze, Lin Muyuan's words directly hammered the most worrying concern in his heart, but Lin Muyuan's words seemed to unravel his worries.That's right, if the emperor really wanted to move him, why would he give him a one-month deadline to explain, that is to say, immediately. "Thank you, Master Tai Tuo, for your guidance. I'm leaving too!" Fang Ze suddenly became enlightened after thinking about it, and said to Lin Muyuan, clasping his fists together.

Lin Muyuan waved his hand with a smile, then turned and left.

Fang Ze didn't stay any longer, he went out of the palace immediately, there was someone around him who was an insider, so where should he start to investigate, this is the most troublesome, trustworthy person... He seemed to be unable to think of who he could trust Yes, but there is one person who is absolutely credible, and there is his own son.After returning to Fang's house this time, he immediately asked someone to call Fang Zhuoyun to discuss matters in the study.In the backyard of Fang's house, pigeons also flew out. They flew straight into the blue sky, but they didn't know where they ended up flying.
