The money for relief in Quzhou was met by robbers. The next day, the news spread to the capital. The sage was shocked and angry, and even the three of the Ning family gathered together to question Ning Lang.
"Has this kind of thing happened in your past life?"
Ning Lang racked his brains to recall: "I... I don't remember."
"You don't remember such an important thing?" Jiang Yunlan couldn't help complaining.
Ning Lang hesitated, unable to speak. He was already in prison at that time, and the only news he heard from the outside was from the words of the jailer. How could he know all about it? It was not easy to think of the outbreak in Quzhou.
He just remembered that in his last life, King An went to Quzhou, and when he came back, he was in trouble. If everything develops as in the previous life, perhaps this disaster relief money and grain being robbed is what happened to King An in his previous life.
Perhaps King An had fallen for this matter in his last life, but in this life, King An avoided it perfectly. Now the whole capital is talking about the robbery of the disaster relief silver and grain. King An led his subordinates to catch the robbers and save the money and food. Everyone praised King An in succession, but the whole capital could not find a bad word.
And Ning Nuan, after asking the dark guard, knew that Chu Fei was fine, so he was relieved.
"The lord has something to tell the princess."
Ning Nuan raised her eyebrows: "Tell me?"
"Yes."
"Since he has something to do with me, why didn't he tell me in person?"
The dark guard lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Obviously, a certain prince who has done something wrong is still in a guilty conscience, and still dare not send her a letter.
Ning Nuan said angrily, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's about the robbery of the disaster relief food." The dark guard said.
Hearing that it was related to this matter, Ning Nuan couldn't help but get serious.
"The lord said that although the robbers were caught, these robbers are from the capital." The dark guard murmured, and then continued: "The emperor may not deal with it seriously, and the princess needs to move more."
"People from the capital?" Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what he meant by people from the capital.
Those robbers appeared on the way from the capital to Quzhou, which is far from the capital. Where are the people from the capital? Unless... unless these robbers set out from the capital and were instructed by someone.
Ning Nuan quickly asked, "Is there any evidence for this?"
The dark guard nodded: "Many of the soldiers who escorted the disaster relief food to Quzhou this time have recognized it."
These soldiers were originally from the capital, and they knew, of course, people from the capital.
Ning Nuan wrote down this matter, and when the dark guard left, he immediately went out to Zhu's house.
Zhu Hanshan operates in the DPRK. He is also the son-in-law of Lord Xue. Naturally, there are countless officials who want to curry favor, and now he also has contacts in the DPRK. But this matter is very important. Zhu Hanshan's foundation is not stable, but it is not easy to involve Zhu Hanshan into the water, so what Ning Nuan wants to find is also Xue Gongli, the minister of war.
Master Xue has always been upright, never stood in line, and always acted out of reason. Sometimes, even the emperor could not do anything about him. This time the disaster relief food was robbed, it is also suitable for him to be the first.
Ask Xue Mingyu to help, meet Master Xue, Ning Nuan explained his intention, Master Xue was silent for a long time, and nodded in response.
Even if it is not for King An, this matter must be investigated.
Then Ning Nuan contacted the dark guards and asked them to pay attention to the movements of several princes. On the surface, King An and the third prince are standing together, and when Prince An makes a contribution, he is doing meritorious service to the third prince. The third prince has earned a lot of credit and fame. For this, the third prince will not rush to take action. Therefore, Ning Nuan also handed the third prince a message, vaguely reminding him that this was an opportunity.
By the time Chu Fei arrived in Quzhou, the matter had already caused a lot of trouble in the capital, and the robbers that Chu Fei had caught were also sent to the capital by him. As soon as those robbers entered the capital, they were quickly recognized. Hearing that it was Master Xue who took over the investigation on this matter, people in the capital panicked for fear that they would be caught.
And when Chu Fei arrived in Quzhou, in his last life, he lost the food for disaster relief, and he was as disheartened as a defeated dog. He did not have a good face for the people of Quzhou, only the officials of Quzhou could be considered polite because of his status. But this time, Chu Fei brought a truck after truck of relief food, but all the people in Quzhou cheered, and even the officials greeted him with a smile.
This completely different treatment from the previous life made Chu Fei sigh.
He also met Master Huizhen there.
Master Huizhen came to Quzhou first to treat the people of Quzhou. Now he is very polite in Quzhou. Anyone who sees Master Huizhen has a respectful attitude, and his demeanor is full of admiration.
"The lord is here." Master Huizhen nodded: "The poor monk has been waiting for the lord for a long time."
"What are you waiting for, Master?"
Master Huizhen smiled slightly and said, "Of course I'm waiting for what the lord will bring."
Chu Fei choked, knowing that what he said should be the medicinal materials he prepared.
He had mentioned to Master Huizhen in advance, knowing that there might be an epidemic in Quzhou, Master Huizhen couldn't sit still, and rushed to Quzhou immediately. I don’t know if this is the reason, but the epidemic in Quzhou has not yet occurred this time, and even people who were seriously injured due to the flood in Quzhou have been cured a lot.
Chu Fei brought the money and food, which was very popular with the people. Now, seeing that he has a good relationship with Master Huizhen, it seems that Master Huizhen will come to Quzhou. It is also thanks to King An, so the people also love him. More enthusiastic, the treatment is comparable to that of Master Huizhen.
Chu Fei came to Quzhou, and of course it wasn't just this one thing.
The money and food were delivered safely, and with Master Huizhen there, the epidemic might not happen. He was ordered to come to Quzhou. He had an imperial decree on his body, and his status was aloof. Naturally, he could not forget other things.
Chu Fei called all the officials of Quzhou to the government office. He sat behind the table, and all the officials of Quzhou stood below, trembling. They looked at each other and pushed each other a few times, and finally someone came out.
"I don't know why the lord called us here?" The speaker turned his head and glanced at his colleagues, and said, "This... If the lord has nothing to do, and the lower officials still have official duties, I am afraid it is impossible to do so. With the lord…”
Before he could finish his words, Chu Fei suddenly knocked on the jingtang wood he was playing with, and with a thud, everyone was startled.
"Who said that this king is okay?" Chu Fei raised his eyes, his eyes swept over everyone, and he saw everyone's reactions in his eyes.
It was the official who was pushed out. He glanced at his colleagues again, and then asked, "I don't know Wangye..."
"This king has come to Quzhou for so many days, and there is something very strange."
Everyone looked at each other again, and just as the official who had just been pushed out was about to say something, he heard King An say again: "You always look at what others do?"
Everyone was startled, and quickly withdrew their gazes, staring at the ground, not daring to look away for a moment.
"This king hasn't said anything strange yet, but looking at your reactions, I feel guilty." Chu Fei played with gavel, his tone casual, but he took everyone's reactions into his eyes: "Is it possible, you guys still take it seriously. Is there something that you didn't tell the king?"
"Understood, dare not." Everyone said.
"Don't you dare? I think you are very courageous." The gavel in Chu Fei's hand knocked and slammed, and everyone was startled again, and they all looked at him.
"Why did the lord say this?"
"Quzhou has been safe and sound for many years. I heard that there is not much precipitation this year. Why is there a flood this year?"
"This... This natural and man-made disaster, the lord must blame us for this matter, then we have nothing to say. It's just that if the lord wants to pursue it, then the lower official should ask the emperor. Did you listen to the emperor?" Quzhou officials snorted coldly: "Even if the prince came to Quzhou for disaster relief on the emperor's order, there is absolutely no reason to frame someone for nothing."
Chu Fei snorted and asked again, "Quzhou has a lot of water. Every year, a large sum of money is allocated to build a dam. This dam should be imprisoned every year. Why is there a flood this year?"
Quzhou officials straightened their backs and said sternly, "What is the crime that Prince An is trying to blame on us?"
"This king didn't say anything." Chu Fei said innocently: "This king is just an idle king, and he only spends money on weekdays. How can I understand this. What kind of dams and what kind of floods, this king really doesn't understand. "
"Then..." Quzhou officials glanced at each other, unable to grasp what he meant.
Chu Fei added, "This Wanghua has more money, but I have also practiced some eyesight."
What eyesight
The hearts of Quzhou officials suddenly lifted.
Chu Fei said: "After this king arrived in Quzhou, he went to the dam to take a look, but saw some numbers, which really didn't match."
Quzhou officials breathed for a while, but their faces were calm, and their backs were straight, as if they didn't understand anything.
Chu Fei beckoned, and Wang Quan next to him immediately presented a ledger.
Some people with powerful eyes saw the ledger and opened their eyes in disbelief.
"Last night, this king found a good thing at the door of the house." Chu Fei said. The ledger was naturally stolen by the dark guard, but the existence of the dark guard could not be revealed. After he said these words, he stared at everyone, and sure enough, some people looked different. Chu Fei lowered his eyes, pretending that he didn't see anything.
"This king is also strange. In the middle of the night, who will send these things to this king." He opened the account book and said in confusion: "When this king felt strange, he watched it all night. All the adults guessed, this king What did you find?"
"..."
Everyone was in cold sweat, clenching their cuffs, how dare they guess.
No one spoke, and Chu Fei took it naturally: "This king really found something."
He closed the account book, his voice suddenly became severe, and he said angrily: "Which adult is here to tell this king why this account does not match what this king saw at the dam?!"
