The man in red smiled softly and charmingly: "The slave family was sent by Mr. Mu..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Furong interrupted him loudly: "He is Weichen's distant nephew!"

Under Chu Yaoguang's half-smiling gaze, Mu Furong continued cheekily: "I don't know that Your Highness brought your fiancé here, but I just want to introduce you with the audacity. It would be a beautiful thing if we can get married. .”

"But now Weichen knows that you have a fiancé! How dare Weichen break your relationship, so I want to let Weichen's distant nephew leave."

Mu Furong glared at her subordinates: "If you have no eyesight, why don't you bring Xiao Su back!"

His subordinates hastily pulled away the unknown man in red.

Chu Yaoguang smiled and said, "I see."

Mu Furong smiled apologetically: "Naturally."

"Okay, forget it this time, there is no next time," Chu Yaoguang said, "If you find any more 'nephews' or 'nephews', you will go back with the people you brought over."

Mu Furong nodded furiously: "I remember it, thank you Your Highness for your generosity."

Now that the people have been dismissed, they returned to the private room.

There were quite a few people at the reception banquet, there were four from Chu Yaoguang's side, plus Xiaolian Tie Fangfei from Fang Yanyan's village, and five or six people from the prefect's government office.

Apart from eating and drinking, the group of people also got to know each other and got to know each other.

Naturally, someone offered a toast at the dinner table, but Chu Yaoguang refused all of them, saying that he didn't drink alcohol.

After the feast, Chu Yaoguang and Mu Furong went back to the Huang Mansion and continued to deal with business.

"I see that there are many damaged dams and houses in Jiujiang that have not yet been built. Is it because of insufficient manpower or something?" Chu Yaoguang asked.

Mu Furong said: "There is no shortage of manpower. After all, there are a lot of disaster victims who have nothing to do, but the ministers can't pay enough wages, and they can't work for nothing."

Chu Yaoguang asked, "How much money do you have available for use?"

Mu Furong reported a number.

Chu Yaoguang frowned slightly as he added the disaster relief funds he brought with him to the money.

To be honest, the situation in Jiujiang is very bad, and the money may not be enough.

"You take me around Lang City tomorrow, and I'll see what's going on," Chu Yaoguang said.

Mu Furong agreed.

When eating with Lu Xingyun at night, Chu Yaoguang didn't mention the current predicament, but just joked about Mu Furong forcibly recognizing the man in the courtyard as his distant nephew.

After listening to it with a smile, Lu Xingyun asked abruptly, "That man must be very beautiful."

Chu Yaoguang shook his head: "I didn't notice, I've been watching Mrs. Mu's colorful expressions, you don't know how funny she is trying to say something."

Lu Xingyun's smile softened a bit, and he responded, "It must be very interesting."

The two finished their dinner talking and laughing.

The next day, when Mu Furong came to Huangfu to take Chu Yaoguang out, Chu Yaoguang thought about it and brought Lu Xingyun with him.

This time it was a case of patrolling Langcheng, and there were many people with many eyes.

Moreover, men and women have different ways and angles of seeing things. Combining the two, you may be able to get more information.

After all, Langcheng is the main city, and it is the first place to be rebuilt in case of any disaster, so the city still looks very normal and peaceful.

It was not until Mu Furong brought Chu Yaoguang into the disaster-affected area under Chu Yaoguang's repeated request that this peaceful mask was removed.

Shabby shacks, tattered clothes, dirty residences, adults and children with sunken cheeks... The atmosphere here is very gloomy, most people don't smile, and there is an inexplicable stench in the air.

The aborigines of Langcheng walked around this area.

Dressed in bright clothes, they are also out of place here, and many people either look at them with awe or disgust.

Chu Yaoguang didn't speak, and went to have a look at the porridge shed.

The big pot of porridge was empty, only a few grains of broken rice remained.

Chu Yaoguang rubbed his eyebrows.

While worrying, I suddenly heard an "ah".

Chu Yaoguang turned around.

Lu Xingyun, who was following them, was hit by a child who appeared out of nowhere.

"Are you okay?" Chu Yaoguang asked hurriedly.

Lu Xingyun shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that the sachet hanging from my waist was taken away."

Chu Yaoguang frowned: "Fang Yanyan, go and try to catch up."

Fang Yanyan had sharp eyes and noticed the direction the child was running in. At this moment, after hearing Chu Yaoguang's order, she immediately chased after him.

"Actually, there's nothing valuable inside, just some dried herbs, it's useless if she snatches them." Lu Xingyun said helplessly.

Snatching his sachet must be for money, but he usually doesn't put money on him, and the servants keep it.

Chu Yaoguang said: "It's not expensive, and you can't condone robbery."

Lu Xingyun looked at her and smiled: "Okay."

Not long after, Fang Yanyan came back with a child in one hand, and a sachet that had been scattered in the other hand.

Lu Xingyun took the sachet away, nodded and said, "Thank you."

Fang Yanyan showed the child who was still kicking around in her hand to Chu Yaoguang: "Your Highness, what should I do with this brat?"

"Just put it back after a spanking." Chu Yaoguang smiled.

"No!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!"

As soon as he heard the word "spanking", the child screamed instantly.

Chu Yaoguang bent down and glanced at her: "Since you are afraid of being beaten, don't do such a thing."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Fang Yanyan to carry her away and hit her.

Fang Yanyan walked away carrying the struggling and screaming child.

Mu Furong praised: "His Royal Highness and Mr. Lu both have the same kindness, it really is not that one family does not enter the other family!"

Chu Yaoguang smiled and said nothing.

Lu Xingyun's ears turned red silently.

After seeing the disaster area, they went back.

Chu Yaoguang thought that he had gained a lot, and felt that after returning home, he could make a good plan and make the best use of the belongings he brought.

"Has there always been so few people in Mipu?" Lu Xingyun caught a glimpse of something suddenly and asked.

Chu Yaoguang followed his line of sight and saw a rice shop that was empty.

Chu Yaoguang frowned.

There shouldn't be so few people in the rice shop no matter what, not to mention the general shortage of food in the city.

She raised her chin: "Master Zhuang, Master Tie, go in and have a look."

She was a little suspicious that someone made a fortune and took advantage of this crisis to raise the price of rice.

The two adults went in, and after a while, they came out again with serious faces.

Zhuang Xiaolian was originally an official of the Department of Warehouse Department of the Ministry of Households, so she was particularly angry: "The price of grain is too high, which is five or six times the price of grain in Yangzhou in previous years. These merchants are not afraid of losing their lifespan by earning black-hearted money!"

Chu Yaoguang felt that something was wrong: "Master Zhuang, go to other rice shops in Langcheng to see what the prices are."

Zhuang Xiaolian should be, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mu Furong: "No need to go, the price is about the same."

Chu Yaoguang looked at Mu Furong.

She frowned: "Could it be that the owners of rice shops in Langcheng are all gangsters?"
