Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

This time Master Zhou was tied up.

After Chi Wanshen untied me, I smiled proudly at Mr. Zhou. However, Chi Wanshen pulled her back and turned her wrist over. Several red marks were very eye-catching on her hand.

Chi Wanshen: "It's really an eyesore."

I pulled my hand back: "Then don't look at it, Your Majesty."

Chi Wanshen pulled my hand away again, not gently at all. He took out a familiar small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and applied medicine on the red mark for me.

I muttered in my heart: He who usually treats me indifferently is not polite to the plaster I made.

Looking at the veins on his hands, I asked, "Can the prince's arms be strong?"

The catch just now really shocked me. I didn't expect him to be so energetic.

Chi Wanshen: "If we don't use more force, I'm afraid someone will be taken back again."

Not wanting to quarrel with him, after applying the medicine, I walked up to Mr. Zhou as if I was determined: "Sir, you didn't expect that you clearly wiped out my actions along the way, including the few soldiers I sent to settle the craftsmen. , you have found someone to look after you, but the news from the prince still comes so quickly."

This time it was Mr. Zhou who stared at me.

I said, "Want to know why? Well, I don't know either."

Chi Wanshen stood beside him and smiled softly, saying nothing.

Seeing that he didn't speak, I didn't want to talk nonsense with Mr. Zhou, so I had someone take him directly.

I said, "Have you finished handling the prince's other matters?"

Chi Wanshen nodded: "Those craftsmen who repaired the dam have said so."

"But you forced them to come over the weekend?"

Mr. Zhou is far away on weekends.

Chi Wanshen nodded.

"You won't be given any money for the weekend?"

Chi Wanshen nodded.

"The craftsman's wife and children are all on weekends?"

Chi Wanshen still nodded.

I understand.

Chi Wanshen: "Don't ask anymore?"

"Don't ask."

Chi Wanshen: "You know everything?"

I smiled at him: "It's almost the same. It's just that the people upstream are probably still kept in the dark. They don't really trust the people in the court."

Chi Wanshen pointed behind me, and then I saw a carriage that had arrived belatedly: "The presence of the National Preceptor is a trivial matter."

My eyes lit up. I didn't expect Jiang Yuchen to come too. He was not good at martial arts, so I didn't let him get involved.

I hurriedly walked towards Jiang Yuchen. When he saw me, he was full of worry and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "What did I tell you before?"

I pursed my lips and said, "Wear a hat and a cloak."

Now the hood is gone and the cloak is torn in a small piece.

Jiang Yuchen: "What else?"

"...I need to bring the Imperial Master with me."

My voice became smaller and smaller, and it was indeed because I was being irrational.

"You...sigh...that's all, just be fine."

"I knew the Imperial Master wouldn't blame me." I grinned at him, as if given a little sunshine, it would be bright.

Yunze couldn't bear to look at him.

"When I get back, I will tell you what's going on. I just feel sorry for this cloak..."

If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken it out.

Jiang Yuchen said nothing.

I glanced out of the corner of my eye and realized something was wrong - Jiang Yuchen was also wearing a cloak, which was exactly the same style as mine. It's just that mine is white with blue stripes, and his is blue with white stripes.

My face feels hot.

Jiang Yuchen suddenly put a hand on my forehead: "What's wrong, your face is so red suddenly?"

I stepped back: "Nothing, nothing."

"You two, why don't you get down to business first?"

Chi Wanshen stood behind him with a joking tone.

I stood aside, unable to delay the business.

The common people were a little dumbfounded when they saw such a large group of people. They were even more confused after knowing what happened.

It turned out that it was not that the court did nothing, but that a local official swallowed up all the money.

Jiang Yuchen's silver-colored token was even easier to use than the regent Chi Wanshen.

No wonder there is a saying in Beiyin that "you can recognize the great master of the Ming Dynasty, but you can't recognize the prince of the royal family."

After some persuasion and some silver taels for help, the people here acted quickly. After all, if they didn't move faster, there would be another heavy rain tomorrow, and the floods would wash away the embankments and roads, and they would probably not be able to walk by then.

After a day of hard work, I returned to the Zhou Mansion... Oh no, the current Zhou Mansion is no longer named Zhou. I heard that the newly appointed official is already on the way, and I don't know what kind of person he is.

Song Shiyi was nowhere to be seen in the mansion. After asking Chi Wanshen, he said, "The eldest princess has gone ahead to help evacuate the people."

There are so many people in Yuanqu City that it is extremely difficult to evacuate. Coupled with the change of spring and summer in the past few days, many people have been infected with wind and cold, coughing, fever and other symptoms. I heard that doctors and doctors from Yuanqu City came forward to treat the people, but there was still little success.

Chi Wanshen: "All the food and medicinal materials are on the way."

"Where's the stuff you swallowed long ago over the weekend?"

Chi Wan sneered deeply: "He is greedy for more things than Gu Xiang thought. It's time to punish these officials."

When the old and new emperors replaced each other, there was bound to be a lot of turmoil in the court, not to mention that the new emperor was still a young boy of ten years old, which gave these greedy local officials an opportunity to take advantage.

When I returned to the courtyard, Jiang Yuchen had already asked people to prepare food, as if he was waiting for me.

There are only two dishes today, but they are delicious.

"Is this done by the Imperial Master?"

Jiang Yuchen: "It doesn't matter who does it, as long as you like it."

I buried my head in my rice bowl, wondering in my heart what switch had been turned on Jiang Yuchen recently, so that he could talk so well?

After eating, I started to tell Jiang Yuchen about my previous plans with Chi Wanshen.

The money Chi Wanshen allocated to Yuan Qucheng disappeared quickly. On the third day after the allocation, he received a letter from Zhou Yuan. On the fifth day, he said that the dam had been repaired halfway.

"Those who know are building dams, those who don't know think they are playing house."

Whose dam was repaired in four days?

Yuan Qujiang said it was not big, but it would take three months to lay the foundation. No, Chi Wan was so angry that he sent me a note overnight, asking me to cooperate with him in a play.

Before coming to Yuanqu City, Chi Wanshen investigated Zhou Zhouyuan thoroughly and asked him why he was greedy for so much money. The reason was that his son had a lot of debts abroad and his daughter's husband was also an uneducated man. He is a wasteful man who spends a lot of time and alcohol, and his whole family depends on him for survival.

Of course it won't cost so much.

To be honest, he is just greedy.

But after Chi Wan's investigation, she still didn't know how he managed to acquire such a huge sum of money. No, he came to my door.

Ask him why he is looking for me.

Chi Wanshen: "It's easy to kill just by looking at you."

I:"?"

The above is just a joke. Of course, I am attracted by my sister’s intelligence and adaptability.

Weekend Yuan originally didn't have the courage to kill someone, but he knew that he would not be able to escape death if he was greedy for the money, so he became bolder.

Weekend Yuan: "If no one goes to inspect the dam, then I won't want to kill her."

Chi Wanshen: "So you will kill anyone who comes?"

Weekend Yuan was silent for a moment, and he seemed to be thinking about this question seriously: "No, the prince will not."

Chi Wanshen: "Ha."

Nonsense.

In the long-term plan for the weekend, the people upstream are certain to die. The heavy rain tomorrow will definitely flood the only way out.

And the dregs of the half-built dam will also be washed away by the flood.

When the court asked, what happened? Even a group of stubborn people who refused to evacuate their fields also blocked the process of repairing the dam, resulting in the loss of the dam, people and money.

When life is at stake, a large amount of money must be used to deal with the funeral arrangements, so the money disappears like running water. In the final reconciliation, hey, the account is even.

That's the long weekend plan.

Full of loopholes.
