Shangyu Chen put down the topographical map, frowned and asked, "Zhen'er, you took Chu Hong away first, and now you want to borrow Gu Jiang, what are you thinking about? What are you saying that you dare not say in front of me?"
The jealousy in Shang Yuchen's words was really obvious. They usually discussed important matters together, but tonight the traces of his isolation were too obvious.
"Well, Your Highness, you want to hear it, but it's not impossible to say it." Su Zhen touched her earlobe again out of habit.
"Then just say it."
"It's a bit embarrassing to have so many people here."
"..."
Catching a glimpse of Shang Yuchen's unkind eyes, she said with a smile, "Nothing's wrong, I just heard about the peach debt caused by Xiao Xiao and wanted to ask Mr. Dongli about it."
Everyone had strange expressions on their faces, looking at Su Zhen in shock with her ears turning red.
Who doesn't know that Su Zhen is extremely thick-skinned and visits the Red Mansion and Chu Pavilion more often than her own back garden? How could she be like this because of a man?!
Too! Fake! Too!
Gu Yunshu had a headache when he saw that Su Zhen was so playful and talking nonsense again, "Okay, Zhen'er, strange diseases and floods are currently happening. We'll talk about this later. Tell me what did you find?"
"Um...Okay!" Su Zhen lowered her head pretending to be depressed.
Tang Yinchen couldn't stand her anymore and rubbed his arms, "Is it possible that you and General Xiao had a falling out because of a girl from another family and they had a disagreement, and they were also angry with you?"
Su Zhen rolled her eyes at him, pressed the corners of her lips with the thumb and index finger of her right hand, forced out a smile, narrowed her eyes, and smiled.
"Ahem! Actually, it's nothing. Xiao Xiao and I just went to the main city of Jiangdu together..."
After Su Zhen coughed lightly, she omitted the details of the entanglement between her and Chu Moxuan, and told what happened before.
Gu Yunshu's perspective was much broader than that of others. Although Su Zhen deliberately omitted many seemingly inconspicuous details, based on his understanding of Chu Moxuan, he would definitely not believe it if there was nothing fishy between them.
of.
"Shoals of fish? Are you saying that you were attacked by them and taken into a different space?"
"Um!"
"What is a different space?" Jin Lian asked doubtfully.
The young master lay half-ly on the seat comfortably, threw a peanut into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, then explained, "It is within the six realms and outside the six realms. Every different space has
It is an independent space, some are naturally formed, and some are artificially created. Many demon clans who do not want to stay in the demon world will hide in independent different spaces."
"I see, but how come the extradimensional exit of the Trichosanthes family is in the moat of Jiangdu? Could it be that the sudden flood was not caused by the heavy rain, but by those monsters?"
"It's hard to say, but it's close."
"His Royal Highness, I humbly ask for orders to lead troops to the main city of Jiangdu overnight."
"Master Jin..." Su Zhen called slowly, "The exit of the Trichosanthes may be in the moat, or it may not be there. Even the entrance was brought in by them. But just like the sudden appearance of the strange disease, the root cause is
It’s all in the water. Apart from the water that the people drink on a daily basis, I can’t think of any other way to infect everyone in Jiangdu with strange diseases.”
"Wait! Then according to what you said, why are the people outside Jiangdu okay?"
Su Zhen didn't know where Jin Lian's hostility towards her came from. She couldn't laugh or cry, "Sir, do you really think of me as a semi-fairy? I am a human being, not a god. If I can easily find him The answer is, wouldn’t it be better to just kill those ugly and scummy fish and bring them back to you to roast them and eat them?”
"Then what do you want to do?"
"wait."
"Waiting again? What are you waiting for?"
"The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived in Liting Town has spread like wildfire. I believe Jiangdu Prefecture will send someone here soon. With them leading the way, why should we waste time or even take detours?"
"Brother Su, the matter of the corpse turning into a scarecrow was obviously suppressed by them. It's hard for a strong dragon to suppress a local snake. How could they agree so happily?" Yang Huanzhi asked.
Su Zhen stroked her chin, "Of course it's impossible, so we have to trouble our Magistrate Tao."
Magistrate Tao, who had been standing in the corner silently, was suddenly stunned when he heard his name.
"Magistrate Tao," Shangyu Chen called.
"His Royal Highness, I'm here." Magistrate Tao raised his official uniform and knelt down to salute.
Shangyu Chen looked at Su Zhen, "Zhen'er, if I guess correctly, the Jianghu people found on the back mountain should have been arranged by you, and you deliberately let Mr. Tang find them and bring them back for placement. And the drugs they were poisoned with. ..... Magistrate Tao, how do you want to explain?"
Su Zhen raised her eyebrows. Shang Yuchen didn't like to say much, but he was as meticulous as dust. He raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up, "Your Highness is indeed smart."
Magistrate Tao knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
"County Magistrate Tao, people are not just grass and trees, but they can be ruthless. Do you think you can hide them and conceal those shady and dirty plots from His Highness the Crown Prince who came to provide relief?"
"Su Shaoqing, you have too many things to do."
"Tsk, is this young master troublesome? Or are you overconfident? You thought you didn't kill those gangsters without telling the people above you. But wait until the robbery of the disaster relief fund is over, and once they are covered with stigma, they will show up again In the Jianghu, someone will definitely notice it, and by then, their lives and your lives will not be saved."
Gu Yunshu narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Under the guise of Jianghu, people from the government robbed the imperial court of disaster relief money and grain. If this can be done, not only can they get huge wealth, but they can also sow discord between Jianghu and the imperial court. relation.
If the prince's disaster relief fails, and disputes continue in the world, the prince will definitely encounter criticism from his ministers, and there is no guarantee that someone will not propose to remove the prince from his position as heir apparent.
Taking a step back, even if the calculation of the disaster relief money fails, all the blame still lies with those famous people in the world who claim to be "disaster relief" but actually intend to "steal" the disaster relief.
In any case, it will do them no good at all.
Even if the imperial court finds out the truth, not to mention the dispute between the imperial court and Jianghu, you will only be affected in the end."
It was rare for Gu Yunshu to say so many words at once. He clearly pointed out all the pros and cons of this matter. But no matter where he started, the people who would suffer would be the people, the prince, the people in the world, the court, and even the magistrate Tao County. Own.
But...only the people above him will not suffer.
Just because he couldn't afford to offend him at all.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive me for being unable to express my suffering! I know my mistake and am willing to die to apologize! I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince and all your lords to spare my wife, children and children."
Magistrate Tao had just finished speaking when Su Zhen laughed and said, "Magistrate Tao! Didn't you understand what Mr. Dongli just said?" This chapter has been completed!
