"It's hard to say. What Wang Shuying said may be the truth. After all, I didn't find any flaws in his words, but it might be that he lied to revenge on Yang Shiqi. Moreover, he didn't have to tell all lies when he lies. He just needed to mix a lie in the ten truths, and we couldn't tell any of them at all." Huang Hua also answered very cautiously.

"I think Wang Shuying's words are more credible. Yang Shiqi appeared too suddenly, and I couldn't see through him. I even suspected that he had used the news to get close to me by using this matter." Li Jie said again, touching the short beard on his chin.

"Then what's the reason for him to do this? Didn't Wang Shuying say that Yang Shiqi regards the prince-consort as a great enemy. Since that's the case, why don't you take the opportunity to get rid of the prince-consort directly? Isn't this more worry-free?" Huang Hua hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"This is also something I can't figure out. The only explanation is that he should have a bigger plan when approaching me. But now we can't understand his intention." Li Jie couldn't help but sigh when he said the last word. If possible, he really hoped to keep Yang Shiqi by his side and use it for his own purposes, but now it seems that he has to be on guard against him.

"Mr. Concubine, do you want me..." Huang Hua said at the end and made a murderous move with his hands. Now they have not entered Beijing, and there are Jinyiwei on the ship. He can kill Yang Shiqi without knowing it. Then he will find an unexpected excuse and will never let anyone notice it.

"No need, Yang Shiqi is just a small person. I suspect that there is a deeper hidden person behind him. If you want to lure this person out, you can't touch Yang Shiqi, so you still use your tricks. I want to see what tricks Yang Shiqi and the others can do?" Li Jie waved his hand immediately.

Yang Shiqi in history is known as the name of the prime minister, but now he is a little unnamed person. Even if he saves Li Jie, he still cannot be put on the table. Therefore, Li Jie doubts that someone is behind him, but Li Jie has no idea who this person is.

"I understand. I will send someone to stare at him day and night in the future!" Huang Hua immediately woke up and realized when he heard this.

A few days later, Li Jie and his boats finally arrived at the end of the canal, which is Tongzhou next to Beijing. The river channel close to Beijing was already blocked in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, when the capital was moved, Lao Zhu asked someone to clear the canal early, so that the end of the canal reached Tongzhou, which was already considered entering the boundary of the capital.

Li Jie and the others got ashore in Tongzhou, and as soon as they got off the boat, a team of people came forward to greet him. The leader was Guo Zhenglin, an old acquaintance of Li Jie. When he saw Li Jie, he laughed and went forward to greet him: "Brother Li, thank you for your hard work. Your Majesty ordered me to come and greet him!"

"It's a blessing for Brother Guo. How is the railway construction going? Where is it now?" Li Jie hurriedly stepped forward and asked. He didn't expect Guo Zhenglin to come to greet him in person, but this happened to allow him to ask about the railway. If it weren't for the Nanjing incident, he would have been in charge of the construction of the railway himself.

"Brother Li, don't worry, let's talk slowly on the way back, but I heard that you are very dangerous in Nanjing this time. Your Majesty originally wanted to come to greet him in person, but he was persuaded by the ministers. It happened that I was fine today, so I volunteered to come to greet him." Guo Zhenglin also smiled again.

"Your Majesty and Brother Guo are worried, but finally there is no danger. Now all the prisoners are arrested and they can be punished after returning to Beijing." Li Jie also explained with a smile.

Guo Zhenglin was also very curious about Li Jie's experience along the way, but he still invited Li Jie to the carriage first, and then the two of them chatted while walking. After all, Tongzhou was just next to the capital, and it was still early, so there was no need to stop.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Yunqi is still waiting for Li Jie in the palace, so they can't let the other party wait in a hurry.

On the way, Guo Zhenglin asked Li Jie about his experience. Li Jie also briefly said that the Taicang theft case at the beginning was already complicated enough. After all, not only did two high-ranking officials die, but also involved several senior officials in the Nanjing officialdom, and even in the end, a huge chain of interests was involved. Hundreds of officials participated in it, which could be called a shocking case.

However, when Li Jie talked about his attack, Guo Zhenglin completely forgot about the previous case and was always worried about Li Jie's safety, especially when he heard that the traps were set at Fengyang City Gate, he was sweating all over. It was not until Li Jie safely arrived at the imperial tomb that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time it's really thanks to that Yang Shiqi. If this person hadn't been to the darkness and light at the last moment, I'm afraid you would be in danger, Brother Li!" In the end, Guo Zhenglin also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.

"Yes, so I will also bring Yang Shiqi with me. This time I will report his contributions to Your Majesty. There will be a heavy reward at that time!" Li Jie nodded. He did not tell Guo Zhenglin about Yang Shiqi. It was not that he did not trust the other party, but that the fewer people knew about this, the better.

"I seem to have met Wang Shuying a few times before, but I didn't expect that he would do such a lawless thing in secret. He was extremely bold and arrogant!" Guo Zhenglin said with some annoyance.

"Although Wang Shuying is hateful, he has done me a favor inadvertently." Li Jie smiled again at this time.

"Help? What can he do?" Guo Zhenglin asked in confusion when he heard this.

"Haha~, Brother Guo, you really ignore the matter outside the window. I made such a big noise in Jiangnan. I must have been arguing in the court. I want to take me down and ask for guilt, right?" Li Jie immediately laughed.

"I'm almost forgotten if you don't say it. Some time ago, there were indeed many people who clamored to sue you, but they seemed to have stopped recently." Guo Zhenglin frowned again at the end. He used to be in Sitianjian and later went to the academy. Although he still had an official position, he was actually out of the court, so he didn't really understand the battles in the court.

"It is because I encountered an attack that those people dare not clamor for me to be punished. After all, they are afraid that I will spill dirty water on them, so they will naturally calm down." Li Jie laughed again and said, as the saying goes, good and bad are bound by each other, everything has both good and bad, so they need to look at the problem dialectically.

Li Jie and Guo Zhenglin chatted all the way, and the carriage ran quickly. In the afternoon, they finally arrived in the capital. Li Jie had no time to enter the house, so he could only send someone to report his safety to Zhu Yuning, and then he was pulled into the palace by the carriage.
