Chapter 449: Husband, I'll go with you
This is indeed one of Wei Qing’s goals.
He is now the Minister of Justice, and many people are dissatisfied with this position alone.
It is difficult to get promoted unless you stay in this position for four or five years.
Although it is said that one should not act too hastily, Wei Qing is not that patient.
He needs to sit in a higher position, have greater power and authority, and better investigate what happened to the Xiao family.
"My husband's purpose is not limited to this, right?" Tang Li said.
Wei Qing smiled and hugged her in his arms. He was tall and his wife looked particularly petite in his arms.
"Wife, what was Yizhou like in the past?" Wei Qing asked.
"Liangzhou!" Tang Li said.
"Back then, the Xiao family army fought against the Great Qi in Liangzhou and suffered a crushing defeat, which laid the seeds for the crime of treason later on," said Wei Qing.
"So my husband wants to take this opportunity to investigate the Xiao family's affairs?" Tang Li asked.
Wei Qing nodded.
Wei Qing didn't have the files on the Xiao family's collaboration case. He sent people to secretly infiltrate the Dali Temple and the Censorate, but they couldn't find the files. He didn't know if the files were destroyed or hidden in a more secure place - the imperial palace.
Therefore, he did not have a list of the ministers who were involved at the time.
He could only order people to keep an eye on Zhao Shu and Concubine Wang in the palace.
These two people are in high positions and have great power, surrounded by many experts, so the secret guards dare not follow them all the time.
So far, there is no news.
Therefore, Wei Qing wanted to find other breakthroughs.
This Liangzhou prefect had served in Liangzhou for decades and might know some of the things that happened back then.
There might be some clues hidden in the county magistrate's mansion.
Wei Qing had originally planned to go there himself, and just took this opportunity...
"But my husband, the flood is merciless..." said Tang Li.
She knew that her husband was not a coward and had a strong will.
He was the villain in the book, and how could a villain be a coward? He was just crazy, afraid of nothing, and loved to take risks and lick blood on the edge of a knife.
Even though he has a wife and children now, and is not so crazy and does not value his life so much, it is impossible for him to be afraid of death.
Tangli understood his character, this was her man.
However, she still couldn't help but worry.
Wei Qing looked at his wife's worried face and kissed her on the cheek.
"Don't worry, I will come back safely."
Tang Li reached out, hugged his waist, put his face on his chest, and said nothing.
Wei Qing stroked her hair.
How could he bear to die when he has such a good wife?
Tang Li held him quietly for a long time before letting him go and looking up at him.
"Husband, when are you leaving?" Tang Li asked.
"Early tomorrow morning," Wei Qing said, "As for the flood, the sooner we get there, the better."
Let’s leave early tomorrow morning.
Just now, Tangli made a decision.
"Husband, I'll go with you!" Tang Li said.
Some content from the book emerged in Tangli's mind again.
This flood was the most serious one in Yizhou. All sixteen counties in Yizhou County were submerged, countless lives were lost, and the surviving people were displaced. It was a tragic sight.
Since we have decided to go, we must solve this flood and save the people!
Wei Qing didn't say anything.
He was touched by his wife's desire to share the good and bad times with him, but the life was too hard and too dangerous, and he didn't want her to take the risk.
"My husband, I am a lucky fish. If I go, I can turn danger into safety." Tangli said, "So, don't worry about my safety."
"My husband, I can endure hardships, and you are here with me."
"Husband, you understand my character." A hint of stubbornness flashed in Tang Li's eyes.
They are husband and wife, understand each other, tolerate each other, have their own independent personalities, and respect each other.
It is also difficult to change what his wife decides.
Wei Qing finally nodded.
Tangli smiled sweetly and kissed him on the face.
"It's time for dinner. Let's talk about this matter with the Marquis, his wife, and the children." Tang Li said.
At dinner time, all the people at the table, including Lord Wu, Madam Wu, A Yu, Liu Lan, Xu Jue, Wei Ziang, Wei Ziyi, San Bao and Du Ye were in the military camp, so they were not there.
When Wei Qing said that he and his wife were going to Yizhou to control the flood, everyone's smiles faded.
"Do we have to go to deal with the flood? Can we not go?" asked Mrs. Wu.
"Women's words! How can we not listen to your Majesty's words?" said Lord Wu Hou.
Mrs. Wu did not ask any more questions. After finishing her meal, she took Tang Li aside and gave him many instructions.
Because they had to leave early the next morning, Tang Li and Wei Qing went to the general's mansion overnight to meet her mother and brothers.
In the Gu Mansion, the lights in the room were very bright.
Gu Huainian naturally knew that Wei Qing was going to Yizhou, but he didn't expect his sister to go...
He looked at Tangli with worried eyes.
Gu Huaijin was even more straightforward: "I'm fine anyway, I'll go with you!"
Tang Li looked at him and said, "Third brother, do you know how to control water?"
Gu Huaijin was stunned for a moment.
He is just a playboy. He worked hard in his previous life, but his talent is limited and he is not very smart.
"I... I am strong and can carry stones!" said Gu Huaijin.
Madam Gu glanced at him and said, "Don't make trouble."
Gu Huaijin had no choice but to shut up.
"Mom, don't worry, Wei Qing and I will definitely return safely." Tang Li said.
As a mother, how can I not worry?
Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter and son-in-law, her eyes fixed on Wei Qing.
"A Qing, you have to bring my daughter back safely."
"Mom, don't worry." Wei Qing said seriously.
"Your eldest brother's wedding is scheduled for three months later. You two have to come back to attend your eldest brother's wedding banquet." Mrs. Gu said.
"Mom, that's for sure. I'm also the matchmaker." Tang Li assured.
Mrs. Gu had endless things to say to her daughter.
However, they had to leave early tomorrow morning and would definitely not be able to sleep well afterwards. Mrs. Gu felt sorry for her and wanted her to have a good sleep tonight, so she swallowed all those words.
"It's getting late. Let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion and pack up and go to bed early." Mrs. Gu said.
"Okay, mother, we'll go first." Tang Li said.
Madam Gu waved her hand: "Go back, go back, I'm sleepy too."
Tang Li and Wei Qing left.
Gu Huainian and Gu Huaijin went to see them off.
Mrs. Gu suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and watched their backs go away, her face full of worry.
Nanny Zhao took the clothes and put them on Madam Gu.
"Madam, the young lady and the son-in-law must be blessed by fate."
"I will go to Ganquan Temple to stay for a while in a few days." Mrs. Gu said.
She wants to pray to the gods and Buddhas to let her daughter and son-in-law return safely.
"I will arrange it tomorrow." said Nanny Zhao.
When Tang Li and Wei Qing returned home, they found three figures standing at the gate of the yard.
Xu Jue, Wei Ziang, and Wei Ziyi stood side by side, and none of the three children slept.
Tangli threatened them: "Why aren't you sleeping yet? You are all at the age of growing up. If you don't sleep so late, you might not grow taller."
None of the three children spoke.
Wei Ziyi walked up and hugged Tang Li directly.
