Chapter 564 Yongcheng

Almost everyone in this world wants to be an emperor because in the eyes of most people, they can do whatever they want by becoming an emperor, but only the emperor and the people around the emperor know that the emperor is also greatly restricted. These restraints come from the palace, from the court, and even from the people, so many things Zhao Zhen, the emperor, can't help but do.

For example, when Zhao Zhen learned that his future queen had married, he was furious and even wanted to kill someone. But in the end he calmed down because the marriage had been announced. Now everyone in the world knows that he wants to marry a woman from the Cao family. As the emperor, he can't regret the marriage, otherwise how can he be an example for the world?

Seeing Zhao Zhen’s painful look, Li Zhang even regretted telling him this, but even if he didn’t tell him, Zhao Zhen would know about it sooner or later. After all, the fire cannot be kept in the paper. If Zhao Zhen knew that he knew that he would not report it, it would probably be even more painful.

"Cousin, please help me do something!" After a while, Zhao Zhen suddenly sat upright and said to Li Zhang.

"No problem!" Li Zhang didn't ask Zhao Zhen anything at all, and agreed directly.

"I think you can go there and help me investigate the previous marriage of the Cao family woman!" Zhao Zhen said immediately.

"Investigate this? I understand!" Li Zhang was stunned when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, and then he realized that Zhao Zhen wanted to investigate whether the Cao family woman had lost her moral integrity. Although the Cao family woman said that her husband ran away on the wedding night and that the two had no husband and wife at all, this was just her own statement. It was unknown to outsiders that night that happened.

"I can't believe anyone now, so I can only ask you cousin!" Zhao Zhen also said with a tired look on his face at this time. As the emperor, he absolutely cannot tolerate his wife being interfered with by others.

"But only two parties involved know about this kind of thing. Even if I go and check it, it may be difficult to find out anything." Li Zhang suddenly smiled bitterly at this time. He really wanted to help Zhao Zhen, but some things were beyond his ability.

"It's okay, as long as my cousin does his best!" Zhao Zhen said again. This matter has become a knot in his heart. Although he can wait until Cao enters the palace before someone can find out his true self, he really can't wait, and he no longer trusts others except Li Zhang.

"Okay, I'll leave for Yongcheng tomorrow!" Li Zhang nodded immediately. As far as he knew, Cao Yan's family, Li Shiheng, Li Zhi and his son are all in Yongcheng now. If you want to find out the situation on the wedding night, you can only start from the two parties involved, Li Zhi and Cao.

Seeing Li Zhang agreeing, Zhao Zhen finally showed a comforting expression on his face. He also wanted to be alone, so Li Zhang also stood up and said goodbye to leave. When he returned home, Qingzhi also asked about his experience of seeing Zhao Zhen with concern. Li Zhang did not hide it anymore this time and immediately told the story of Zhao Zhen asking him to investigate himself.

"Even an ordinary man, I'm afraid he will have the same idea as His Majesty. But how can you investigate this kind of thing? Could it be that if you go to Miss Cao and Li Zhi for interrogation?" Qingzhi said at the end, his face also showed a look of worry.

"There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, but I think that Li Zhi is quite strange. He jumped over the wall and ran away on the night of the wedding chamber. Could it be that Miss Cao is so ugly that he refused to be a wedding chamber?" Li Zhang also guessed randomly at this time.

"Impossible. Since Miss Cao can be selected as the queen, her appearance must be quite good. It must be Li Zhi's own problem!" Qingzhi retorted at this time. Li Zhang felt that it made sense after hearing this, but now he could not guess anything by just guessing it. You'd better know it when you go to Yongcheng tomorrow.

The next morning, Li Zhang took his men out of the capital. This time he did not bring wild dogs. First, he just went to investigate the affairs of Miss Cao, and there was no danger at all. Second, Xiuxiu was pregnant and still needed wild dogs to take care of her, so Li Zhang left Xiuxiu in the capital and left the capital with a bunch of guards. The adopted son of these guards was Lao Dao.

Lao Dao and the Blind Man and the Clutter are the three earliest guards in Li Zhang's family. Later, they became teachers of wild dogs. Now they are older, and the Blind Man and the Clutter Man are not in good health. The main reason is that the old injuries they suffered when they were young is recurring, so now they are all provided by Li Zhang to support their elderly care at home. Lao Dao is in excellent health. Even though he is nearly 60 years old, he can still play a big knife of 70 kilograms. Of course, this kind of knife is only used for exercise, and the old Dao is still just an ordinary waist knife.

Yongcheng is located in Shangqiu, later generations, and it happens to be the easternmost part of Henan Province, very close to Anhui and Shandong. In terms of distance, the distance between Kaifeng and Yongcheng is similar to Kaifeng and Luoyang, but there are many mountains and rivers in Luoyang, while Yongcheng and Kaifeng are almost all plains. Therefore, Li Zhang and his friends walked very quickly and arrived in Yongcheng in just two days.

Yongcheng is an ancient city with a long history that existed as early as the Xia Dynasty. Even later archaeologists discovered more than ten primitive social human settlements, including the Wangyoufang site and the Zaolutai site, in Yongcheng. These are all part of the Longshan culture.

Yongcheng in the Song Dynasty was also a very prosperous city, mainly because Yongcheng was located on the banks of the Grand Canal, and all the ships coming and going had to stop in Yongcheng. Even the origin of the name Yongcheng was related to the canal. It is said that when Emperor Yang of Sui went south to travel, the Huai River and Bian River were flooded, and most of the cities on both sides of the river were flooded. Only Yongcheng, which was still called Ma Fu at that time, was safe and sound. So Yang Guang named Ma Fu Yongcheng, which means "permanently strong, destroyed but not destroyed."

When Li Zhang and his group arrived in Yongcheng, it was already evening. Because they were worried that the city gate would be closed, they hurried into the city. However, Yongcheng was still very lively at this time, especially the dock was brightly lit. Even at night, there were still many ships on the dock loading and unloading goods.

Li Zhang and his friends found a hotel near the dock to stay. This time Li Zhang came to Yongcheng without saying anything. He even deliberately asked someone to dress up like a caravan. After all, if he came to Yongcheng with his identity, he would probably be surrounded by local officials the next day, so he would not know any news at that time.

After a night off, Li Zhang was awakened by the noise on the dock the next day. After he had breakfast in the store, he immediately asked someone to inquire about Li Shiheng and Li Zhi and his son. He did not plan to go there for the Cao family for the time being, and Li family was a good breakthrough, especially Li Zhang was quite interested in Li Zhi.
