"Here you go."

With a peaceful voice, a wine bottle was thrown towards him from the white mist.

"Eh?"

Zhao Cuo took it with some confusion and asked.

"Master Chu, what are you..."

"You also wanted to share the dry food with me just now."

Chu Biezhi's calm and elegant voice came.

"But didn't the Imperial Master want my food?"

"I don't need it, but your intention is true."

"Then this junior will be at a loss for this wine."

Zhao Cuo's favorable impression of her skyrocketed. She was worthy of being the princess of Dayu. She was indeed a gentle and well-educated woman.

This was the first time he met such a normal woman.

It suddenly became clear!

"How can you be so lucky at such a young age?"

Master Chu looked at the young man with some amusement as he proudly raised his head and took a sip.

"I often go to Huafang to drink flower wine with my colleagues..."

Zhao Cuo underestimated the intensity of Renxian's drink. After taking a big sip, his face turned red and he subconsciously told the truth. After he reacted, he swallowed back most of the words that reached his throat, but it was a pity that it was too late.

"Give it back to me."

Chu Biezhi's tone deepened, and a slender, white hand stretched out from the mist and hooked at Zhao Cuo.

"You're joking."

Mr. Zhao never had the habit of handing over what he got, so he shamelessly bit the mouth of the pot and sipped it gently, indicating that the wine pot was already stained with saliva.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"How come there is such a shameless person like you in Duke Zheng's palace?"

Master Chu laughed angrily, but he was too lazy to argue with him and took out a wine gourd to drink.

The time on the carriage passed very quickly. In the next few days, Zhao Cuo also got along with the current imperial advisor in a friendly manner, and no bloodshed occurred.

With the rain getting heavier and heavier, they finally entered the territory of Quang Binh Prefecture.

"I respectfully send you your holy greetings!"

Zhao Cuo, who had already put on his raincoat, stepped out of the carriage, looked calmly at the officials of Guangping Mansion who had been waiting at the city gate, and accepted their great ceremony on behalf of the Queen Mother.

"Sacred peace."

As the imperial envoy, he cupped his hands to the side and said.

At this time, a woman wearing a lotus-colored fairy skirt also stepped off the carriage. Her graceful figure gave people an ethereal impression of an independent and relegated fairy. In fact, she was indeed a human fairy.

The indescribable aura of her body stole the attention of everyone present. Unfortunately, the white gauze hanging down from her head covered her waist, making it impossible for people to see her true appearance.

'Great practitioner!'

The governor of Guangping Prefecture, who was bowing in salute, felt his heart sink to the bottom. The woman who walked behind the young imperial envoy gave him a great sense of oppression. He understood that the Empress Dowager Zhao who sent two teams of personnel in succession was really angry.

"Qin Zhao has had a hard journey all the way. Our hospital has prepared a reception banquet. Please come with me to the city to rest and wash your hands."

After some courtesy, the governor of Guangping Mansion walked up to Zhao Cuo with a smile. In his heart, he actually disdained the young minister of Xingjin, but he could only bow his head.

"Liu Yue, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, accepts the order!"

Zhao Cuo showed off the style of an imperial envoy and said loudly. This minister of the Ministry of Industry was the official who was sent to Guangping Mansion by the Queen Mother before him to control the overall situation. He must rely on this person to control the water.

"I'm here."

A middle-aged strong man came out.

"The Queen Mother is ordered to ask Liu Yue, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to control the flood in Guangping Mansion, and to obey the instructions of the imperial envoy Zhao Cuo."

Zhao Qinqi then came up with the second edict.

"The governor of Guangping Prefecture deceived his superiors and concealed his actions! He delayed flood control and disaster relief matters. He was dismissed from his official position and handed over to Dali Temple for questioning."

"I thank the Lord for your kindness."

The governor of Guangping Prefecture took over the imperial edict from Zhao Cuo with a pale face. This is the supreme majesty of imperial power. Even if you are attacked, you must be grateful.

Zhao Cuo then issued two more edicts to dismiss the governor of Hedao and the governor of Guangping Prefecture and investigate.

At this point, the power of the government has completely fallen into his hands.

“What is the current situation in Hanoi County and its surrounding areas?”

Zhao Cuo asked Liu Yue, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was also an imperial envoy.

"I have ordered people to go all out to seal the gap in the dam. The water situation is temporarily under control, and disaster relief has been launched."

"I am going to Hanoi County now."

Young Master Zhao nodded and said that he would not dare to neglect such a disaster, which could easily affect tens of thousands of people. He also wanted to see if the victims had been properly rescued.

"Young Master Zhao, no!"

Liu Yue, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, quickly stopped him. He was also sent from Xiangjing and knew the status of the young man in front of him in the heart of the Queen Mother. If Imperial Envoy Zhao made any mistakes, he would definitely be in trouble.

"The brave civilians recruited by the lower officials are still fighting the flood on the dam in Hanoi County. The embankment is still in danger of collapse. Mr. Zhao's rich body cannot be put in danger."

"Does Mr. Liu think that the Queen Mother sent me here to consume food?"

Zhao Cuo frowned and shouted.

"lead the way!"

"yes……"

The Minister of Industry had no choice but to order the horses to be brought in.

"Please also ask Master Chu to protect me."

Zhao Cuo said to the mature woman beside him. Once the dam collapsed, he was really not sure that he could escape from the flood with his third-level cultivation.

"Um."

Chu Biezhi responded softly.

"Set off."

Zhao Cuo got on his horse and followed Liu Yue and other officials towards Hanoi County. The rain was no longer so fierce at this time, but the sky was still gray at noon.

As the horse galloped, the scenes he saw gradually became shocking. The ground was filled with sewage that submerged the horses' hooves, and the ruins of houses were everywhere.

Further ahead, you can see many civilians collecting corpses everywhere under the command of officials.

"Your Majesty, please see your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"

Zhao Cuo stopped at the gathering place of the victims and looked at the naked and dull-eyed people in front of the soup kitchen. This desolate scene left him speechless.

“How many soup kitchens are there like this?”

He asked the official who was saluting.

"There are four scattered around. Very few victims have died of hunger in the past few days. We have done our best."

"few?"

Zhao Cuo squinted his eyes and got off his horse. The Minister of Works on the side quickly followed him and followed him to the soup kitchen.

"Is Guangping Mansion short of food?"

He took the porridge attendant's spoon and stirred it in the widow's cauldron a few times, then turned to look at Liu Yue, the Minister of Works beside him, and asked with a frown.

"Last year's harvest in Quang Binh Prefecture was poor, and now the granary is almost at its bottom. This flood has frightened many people who were not affected by the disaster and started to stock up on food to prevent the disaster. Merchants are also hoarding goods one by one. The government office

Even if you have money, it will be difficult to buy food."

Liu Yue said with an embarrassed look.

"snort!"

Zhao Cuo picked up the rice bag placed in the soup kitchen with a serious face, poured most of it into the pot without saying a word, then pointed at the big pot and said to Liu Yue:

"Let all soup kitchens at least serve this kind of porridge instead of boiling water! I will find a way to solve the food problem."
