Xiao Yinhan's words made Cui Shuwang stunned for a moment: "What was the wrong choice?"
But he didn't answer. He looked in a daze, as if his soul had been taken away.
Cui Shuwang had no choice but to continue reading the letter. Just looking at it, he took a breath and looked at Xiao Yinhan with a shocked face: "What does the letter say about the flood in Huai'an?"
"The river surged, and the fields and houses on both sides of the river were flooded... Tens of thousands of people were killed or injured..." These words are shocking just to read.
Seeing the last sentence, Cui Shuwang seemed to understand what Xiao Yinhan meant by "choice".
"... I would like to inform the prince of the true situation and ask him to put the overall situation first and save the people from disaster."
"This, is this a joke?" Cui Shuwang tried to smile: "It must be a joke. How could a Taoist priest really say something... you wouldn't believe it, would you?"
Cui Shuwang grabbed Xiao Yinhan's sleeve: "Speaking of such strange and confusing things will only disturb the people's hearts, and no one with any brains will believe it."
Rather than saying that I don’t believe it, it’s better to say that I don’t dare to believe it.
Tens of thousands of people will die from floods, this...
This time even Cui Shuwang's face turned pale.
But no matter how nervous he was, the man next to him didn't react at all, or he was still immersed in his own world.
"...I like the prince, but I don't like that the prince always puts himself in danger again and again. I am very scared and want to stop you, but I fail every time."
"I know this is the prince's choice, and I have no right to change it. I don't blame the prince. Jiang Tang only hopes that in the future without me, the prince can take good care of himself and stop being so impulsive..."
The last words she left behind made him feel heartbreaking pain every time he recalled them.
When he dreamed back at midnight, he regretted and regretted countless times. If he had been obedient, his Tangtang would not have left.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Yinhan moved his mouth and said something.
Uncle Cui looked at him subconsciously, but didn't hear clearly.
I just vaguely heard the word "dare not".
What are you afraid of?
No, is there anything you, Xiao Yinhan, don’t dare to do?
Cui Shuwang subconsciously wanted to make fun of him, but seeing his dead face, he swallowed those words back.
Until the man reached out to him and asked for the letter.
"What do you want? Oh, a letter... for you."
Uncle Cui came back to his senses, handed the letter over, and then thought of something: "Are you really not going to chase it?"
To be honest, the fact that he didn't chase people immediately was the biggest shock to him today.
This person is Xiao Yinhan!
He could bear it!
How could he resist chasing after him?
Even he, the moment he saw the letter, wanted to help him get the person back.
Xiao Yinhan scanned the words word by word with his eyes, his expression was solemn, and he repeatedly tried to imprint these words on his heart one by one.
He had already chosen to miss once, and the price was to lose her.
Now that he knew that person might be him, he thought in his heart that he was going crazy, but he didn't dare, didn't dare...
Cui Shuwang looked at the man's expression and wondered if it was an illusion. He seemed to read a bit of vulnerability in the man's eyes.
"What are you doing! Stop!"
After a scolding, a guard came over quickly escorting a man with a wretched look:
"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, this man just picked off the sneaky things around him and didn't know what he was doing."
"I'm not sneaking around, I'm just passing by..."
The man - Mr. Lu, Lu Yu frowned and said, trying to save his arm, and then he was held down again: "Be honest! You have no right to speak in front of the prince!"
Uncle Cui looked at Xiao Yinhan, but he didn't pay attention at all. Veins appeared on the back of his hand holding the letter. You can imagine how hard he used it.
He sighed secretly, glanced at the wretched man on the ground, and waved his hand: "If there is no problem after checking, let him go."
"Yes." The guard grabbed the person and tried to pull him away, but as soon as he moved, there was a "plop" and the package in Lu Yu's hand fell to the ground, and a stack of drawings inside was scattered on the floor.
Uncle Cui took a look: "Are you still a painter? What are you painting...what is this?"
Originally it was just a casual question, but after seeing the content clearly, his face instantly darkened: "Tell me, who are you! How come these things are in your hands?"
While scolding the man, he bumped into Xiao Yinhan: "Look what these are! They are all drawings related to the acres and the number of acres. This is not something ordinary people can get."
There was no way. Who could have been frightened by the flood of land that had just been written in "Boss Jiang's" letter and the death of tens of thousands of people? A sneaky guy with land surveying drawings came here immediately. Anyone would think that there was something wrong.
question!
Xiao Yinhan finally moved his eyes and when he saw the content of the letter, he realized the problem: "Why do you have these things?"
"I..." Lu Yu was shocked by the strong aura of the two. As soon as his legs went weak, he subconsciously wanted to kneel down and say that I picked it up myself. However, the moment he spoke, the words that the woman said before leaving suddenly rang in his mind.
——
"...Six months ago, I met a Taoist priest by chance. He said that Huai'an would encounter a huge flood, and the city would be flooded. After the disaster, there would be very few people left, and it would be terrible to see.
I originally wanted to do something to save it on my own, which could be regarded as a blessing for future generations.
But who would have thought that it would attract the attention of the government. Now my business has been implicated. Now that the matter has come to this, I have no choice but to escape first. As for what will happen to Huai'an City in the future, I can't do anything.
My husband and I met once. Huai'an is your hometown and your relatives and friends live here. I will tell you this and hope you will take it to heart. If you can prepare, prepare early..."
After saying this, the man gave him a large sum of money, saying that it was the reward for this period of time, and then let him go.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Yu originally thought that Boss Jiang was lying to her, but she really put him on the carriage and ordered him to be taken back to the city.
"I...I am the government's field inspector. These are the documents in the treasury. I am going to put them back..."
Lu Yu said this.
Originally Xiao Yinhan might not believe it, but who made him and the governor meet the incompetent new field inspector yesterday? Now he saw such detailed drawings and information, which was only sent by the governor at that time.
Without doubting his presence, he raised his hand and asked the guards to let him go, leaving all the drawings behind.
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty."
After Lu Yu finished speaking with a pale face, he was about to turn around and leave.
He has always been timid, and he always stayed away from these fatal events. How could he possibly participate?
"...The fate is in your own hands, sir. How you choose is up to you."
As soon as he took a step, the woman's voice sounded in his mind, his chest felt like it was being burned, and his little conscience was suffering.
It was as if he was asking: As a former inspector, your family has been an official for generations, and you knew that floods would happen but did nothing. Are you worthy of your parents and elders who have educated you since childhood? Are you worthy of everything you have learned since childhood?
"me……"
In the beginning, it was a flood. Before it happened, if you said it, it would only be regarded as evil words to confuse the public. In serious cases, you would be slapped with a ban and sent to jail. If you say it, it will only be bad luck and no one will believe it.
He struggled to move forward, but his legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Finally, when the guard disliked him for walking too slowly and wanted to pull him to make him walk faster, the man suddenly stopped.
He gritted his teeth, turned around and knelt down heavily: "Boss Jiang said there will be floods in Huai'an, please make the decision for the people!"
Xiao Yinhan suddenly raised his head and looked over: "Have you seen her?"
Cui Shuwang on the side also widened his eyes: Flood, why is it flood again?
As if to confirm his mood at the moment, "Boom -", Huai'an, which had not rained for a long time, suddenly started to rain heavily...
-
[The host actually told that coward...]
The system felt that Jiang Tang's telling Lu Yu that there would be flooding in Huai'an was more like a "punishment" than a good intention.
That guy is so cowardly, telling him these things will make him suffer no matter what he chooses.
Jiang Tang was noncommittal. The system's guess was correct. She did do it partly on purpose.
Who let that guy deliberately delay time and delay her plan?
But she won't say this.
Jiang Tang held an umbrella and walked towards his "workshop" under the escort of the shadow guard.
This is a flat and wide hillside, which is the information she spent 100 points to redeem - during floods, this place is very safe, away from the flood, and can be used to resettle the victims.
However, in order not to attract attention, she directly built it into a workshop.
Not only that, when she had a dispute with Xing Qige, she specifically mentioned that because of his stingy character, she actually sent someone to check.
I hope his pig brain can remember it by then.
Nan Xing followed the girl not far away, but she suddenly said that she no longer cares about Huai'an's affairs, and she really didn't care about it anymore. She also passed on the message and asked the shop owner under her name to go find King Rong.
These shops in Huai'an City were originally properties under the name of Yu's Trading Company. She could mobilize them, and so could the jade plaque in King Rong's hand.
Nan Xing didn't know what she wanted to do, but he didn't ask.
As long as he can stay with her, he is content.
Looking at the slender and beautiful figure, the young man clenched his hands tightly, and his eyes showed pain and uneasiness that he didn't realize.
I just don’t know how long this kind of “accompaniment” can last.
It seemed that from the beginning, he was waiting to be left behind again...
"Just right here."
The girl's voice sounded from the front. He came back to his senses and subconsciously chased after her, wanting to get closer to her.
Jiang Tang looked at the small house in front of him and put away his umbrella: "Nan Xing will stay, and the others will go to the city to settle down as planned."
The young man who had just walked in front, when he heard this, his eyes lit up...
-
Xing Qige was not in a good mood.
Tomorrow is his birthday party. The closer the long-awaited party gets, the less and less interested he becomes.
Boss Jiang is missing...
King Rong ordered the whole city to be searched, and his father ordered the shops to be closed down. She suddenly disappeared, as if she had disappeared from the world, with no trace left...
He thought that with that person's arrogant and arrogant temperament, he would just come to him and ask for an explanation if something like this happened like before.
But she actually... disappeared.
Xing Qige couldn't explain why, he just felt empty and unmotivated.
"Where did you think she went?"
Someone approached him and he asked this question unconsciously.
Then a soft and confused voice sounded: "Who went where?"
Xing Qige was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw a beautiful face with confusion.
"Bai, Miss Bai..."
"Brother Xing, who are you talking about and where has he gone?" Bai Muzhi asked.
"I...no, no one." The moment he spoke, Xing Qige didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't tell the truth.
Bai Muzhi looked at him and frowned unconsciously.
She originally lived in the inn with Xiao Yinhan, but from one day onwards, the two of them suddenly started leaving early and coming home late, and it didn't take long for them to ask her to live in the governor's mansion.
She tried to refuse, but he said very coldly: "It's okay if you don't want to live there. They will be very busy in the coming days. If there is any danger, you will be responsible for it."
He was so callous that he was almost cruel, how could he say such a thing...
She immediately talked back to him: "I don't need anyone's protection! I don't care about your care. You can go wherever you like without telling me!"
I thought that Brother Cui would come out to smooth things over and keep her as usual, but who knew that this time, he would actually side with Xiao Yinhan and persuade her to "be more obedient".
She had no choice but to compromise and moved into the governor's mansion.
I thought I was here to visit a friend, so I could stay at the governor's house.
But everything changed again...
Brother Xing was either busy with official duties or preparing for the birthday party every day. Even if he met her occasionally, he seemed to have a confused look on his face and didn't know what he was thinking.
It felt like... everyone had the same secret, but she was the only one left out.
"If Brother Xing is very busy, then Mu Zhi will leave first."
Bai Muzhi stood up, and after saying this, he stood up and started.
Xing Qige was stunned: "No, Miss Bai, please listen to my explanation, I..."
Stumbling under his feet, Xing Qige was forced to stop. Looking at the girl's leaving figure, he opened his mouth but said no more.
There was a vague feeling in his heart: This shouldn't be like this. I should be very happy to see Miss Bai. Why did I make her angry again? I'm really... So where did that woman go? Will she come back again?
…
Thinking of this, he frowned again.
It's really...annoying.
-
"...King Rong is indeed as willful as the rumors say. He dares to interfere in the affairs of our state capital without any order. This is clearly making things difficult for you, sir!"
"He directly sent officers and soldiers to seize the fields and drive away the people. Many squires have already come to the government to complain. Sir, you must take care of this matter!"
"He not only robs the gentry's fields, but also the common people's fields! He competes with the people for profit, and he pretends to be a prince!"
"And I……"
There was a lot of noise in the governor's study. They all came to complain to the governor.
The governor's face was calm, but he sighed infinitely in his heart. Who would have thought that King Rong, who seemed so calm and reliable when they first met, would have such a temper!
"Everyone, please be patient." When the quarrel was almost over, the Governor of Xing said, "I have already handed over the documents to Beijing. I believe I will receive a reply from His Majesty soon..."
