Wang Xiong's affairs are just a chaotic scene recently. A small episode among the many panic scenes has not caused much trouble.

Although Wang Xiong was let go, the seized property was not returned to him.

Although Wang Xiong used a lot of connections to try to get back the property, there was no further information in the end.

Even Zheng Yaoxian, the commander of the Black Ice Platform, visited him once in his mansion.

Since then, Wang Xiong has looked much more at peace.

Song Mu also formally requested the emperor to issue an edict to implement a wartime emergency control state in Chang'an City during a grand dynasty meeting.

This word also came from Li Xu's mouth.

Now rumors are everywhere and people are in panic. The first group of king-supporting troops have arrived outside Chang'an City. Now, using the little emperor's wedding as a guise, it is obvious that it is becoming more obvious.

Since this is the case, it is better to admit that the situation is urgent, so that many things can be done legitimately.

The little emperor naturally would not have any objections, nor would he have any objections.

He, the emperor who had not yet taken power in power, did not even have the right to suggest these things, and he made up his mother and uncle's decision.

In this way, the Empress Dowager also formally issued an imperial edict, announcing that the emperor's wedding date would be postponed indefinitely at this time of national crisis.

The Wang family was both grateful and frightened when he was given this imperial edict.

Since he cannot become a relative of the outside world, he will not be liquidated with the Qin royal family after Chang'an City changes its ownership.

Of course, I should be grateful for this.

But fortunately, I was extremely frightened after that. Since I couldn't be the emperor's elder brother-in-law and had plans to run away before, Zheng Yaoxian from the Black Ice Platform had warned him that the day for the person in the palace to settle the accounts is probably not far away.

Sure enough, within two days, there was news that Wang Xiong fell into a well after drinking in the mansion.

As a result, the Miss Wang family, who was originally dreaming of a queen, was gone, and the Wang family mansion was soon taken back to the government.

Even those Hu merchants disappeared in Chang'an City.

Imperial Palace, Zichen Palace.

Empress Dowager Song, wearing a red gauze golden phoenix palace skirt, leaned on the couch, and her fair and slender right hand twisted a crystal clear cherry into her mouth and chewed it gently. After a moment, her mouth opened slightly.

The Mother Flu, who was wearing the big red eunuch's palace robe, handed over a brocade hand-in-one handwriting at the right time and caught the cherry pits spit out by the Queen Mother.

"Have the whereabouts of those Hu Shangs have not been found yet?"

Empress Dowager Song picked up a handkerchief next to him and wiped his hands, turned his head to look at the shepherd flute standing with his head down.

"Report to the Empress, I have been sending people to search, but those Hu merchants seem to have disappeared out of thin air. The capital is now open to the ground, and the city is very tight. These Hu merchants have special appearances and should not be able to leave the city. I think someone should have hid them."

Mu Di replied respectfully.

"Then who do you think might be hiding them, and what is the purpose?"

Empress Dowager Song narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Mu Di.

"I am not yet known. Since His Majesty issued an edict to Chang'an City to enter a wartime emergency, the people in the Unshak have also been subject to many restrictions. However, I will definitely find out the whereabouts of those Hu Shangs as soon as possible."

Queen Mother Song snorted: "Use more snacks. The life and death of those Hu merchants themselves are not important, but the power behind them is very important to this palace. If it weren't for the transactions between these Hu merchants and the countries in the Western Regions in recent years, His Majesty's treasury would not be as generous as it is now, and many things would not be able to be done."

The Mother Di lowered her head and bowed, "So my servant obeys the order."

Empress Dowager Song's eyes suddenly looked at some void, and the atmosphere became quiet.

The palace maids around were all slight, as if they didn't exist at all.

The Mother Diary stood there like a sculpture, silent.

It seems that the Queen Mother will only speak when she asks.

"What do you think of Li Xu?"

Empress Dowager Song suddenly spoke, but her eyes were still looking at the void.

"I can't see through this Admiral Li. Although I am young, I have a calm demeanor that I don't know where I come from. And obviously I am not pretending to be calm."

Mu Di's answer made Empress Dowager Song look back at him.

"You also feel this way? Then do you think this person is loyal or traitor?"

Empress Dowager Song stared at Mu Di and asked with interest.

"I see that my behavior is all within the rules. But I am not a pedantic person. I am neither greedy for power nor linger in women. I am at a young age and have no intention of being arrogant. Instead, I look like a casual and casual manner like a wild crane."

Empress Dowager Song snorted: "It sounds like you appreciate him quite a bit."

Mu Di bowed and said, "Although this is the case, I can feel that this person does not have enough awe for the Tian family, the Queen Mother, and His Majesty."

Queen Mother Song glanced at Mu Di and sighed, "It is you, an old man, who can tell the truth to me. However, in terms of loyalty and treason, how many people in the court and the country are calling for loyalty to the emperor every day, but all they think of are those who seek personal gain for themselves. Li Xu, Li Xu, I don't care whether you are loyal or treason, I just hope that you don't let down the kindness of Song."

The shepherd's flute listens quietly.

...

"Have those Hu Shangs let go?"

Li's mansion, Li Xu was lying on the lounge chair, shaking a palm-leaf fan in his hand, draped his hair, and his clothes were open, and he had no image.

The mansion is deserted these days, and the girls have all entered the mountain. Yu Yu also lived in the mountain with Mrs. Song Mu and has not come back yet.

Many maids and servants in the mansion also followed them to the mountains, leaving only a dozen servants to serve Li Xu.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Li Xu is even more unattended to be aware of his image. He will do whatever he feels comfortable.

Li Yang bowed and stood aside and said, "Report to the lord, those merchants who have always insisted that they are just pure merchants. They were just trading some Western Region goods with Wang Xiong before, and they didn't know anything else."

"The lord told me not to use torture, so there is no progress yet."

Li Xu shook his palm-leaf fan and said with a smile: "I am afraid that they will not be able to endure the torture. These people may be very useful in the future. At that time, whether our arms can be sold to the Western Regions may be on these people."

"Let's do this, detain them in a small, small dark room without doors and windows. Don't give them food and drink. Don't say a word to them, and don't have any light in. Close them for three days first to see the effect. It's not a big worry."

Although Li Yang didn't know if it was useful, the lord ordered that he would continue to implement it completely.

"The subordinates received the order. However, the subordinates found that there have been people looking for these Hu merchants these days."

Li Yang said.
