Hey, you are reborn too?

"Master," Uncle Wang's voice rang in Xie Shi'an's ears, "I have already checked, and nothing is missing from the warehouse."

Uncle Wang looked at Xie Shian's face, leaned forward slightly, paused and said, "Then do you think this magnolia branch should still be placed in the dark room?"

"Let's just leave it there," Xie Shian pinched his brows. Too many things happened tonight and he was already exhausted. "Oh, by the way, detain this man and keep him under strict watch."

As he spoke, he pointed at the man he brought back and said, "I pressed a numbing point on him, but it will be untied soon. Remember to tie him up tightly, don't let him run away, and be careful not to let anyone rescue him."

"Yes," Wang Bo bowed and saluted respectfully, then raised his head with a questioning look in his eyes, and his voice became a little softer, "Master, are you taking him to the dungeon?"

"Well," Xie Shian stroked his stubble, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "First, give him some tricks, and I'll get up tomorrow morning and interrogate him carefully."

"Yes!"

"Oh, right," Xie Shian narrowed his eyes and pointed at the man, "Strip that man's skin off for me."

Uncle Wang looked in the direction of Xie Shian's finger, the corners of his mouth drooped unconsciously, and his scalp began to feel numb.

The man's facial features were a mess, as if he had been squeezed hard by someone. His "skin" was full of wrinkles, and his "face" was uneven in color, which looked creepy.

Uncle Wang curled his lips, raised his chin, called a few people, and took the man away.

You could have picked anyone else to mess with, but you had to mess with me. Now you’re locked up in a water dungeon, and there’s a good chance you won’t get out alive.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Chunmei's gentle voice called her in her ears. Xie Yongwei tried her best to open her eyelids. She felt inexplicably sleepy and her eyelids seemed to be fighting each other.

After hearing the dragon's roar last night, Xie Yongwei stood by the window for a long time and almost fell asleep. She nodded her head, half asleep and half awake, as if she fell into a warm embrace and smelled a faint smell of blood.

Xie Yongwei didn't know why, maybe because she was too sleepy, or maybe because the embrace made her feel at ease, she didn't struggle to break free from the embrace. Instead, she leaned against the warmth and fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up in the morning and was already in bed. It would be a lie to say I wasn't surprised. Xie Yongwei closed her eyes tightly, her brows knitted together, trying to recall the man from last night. That man should not be wearing armor, so the area on his chest was not hard.

By the way, that person’s clothes should be stained with blood. Is he injured?

Or, did he hurt someone else?

Xie Yongwei pressed her temple, feeling that she was too careless last night and allowed herself to fall into a stranger's arms. It would be good if that person had no malicious intentions towards her, but if that person came to claim her life, wouldn't she be dead?

"Chunmei," Xie Yongwei asked softly, trying to get more information from Chunmei. After all, Chunmei slept beside her bed last night, so if there was any unusual movement, Chunmei should know about it. "Did anyone come into our room last night?"

"Strangers?" Chunmei neatly tied up Xie Yongwei's hair, without stopping her hands or words, "Last night, the master sent a lot of people to guard the Madam's courtyard. Not to mention strangers entering our room, not even a fly could fly in."

"Then, didn't you hear any movement in our room?" Xie Yongwei was still unwilling to give up. Could it be that she was the only one who knew that person had come in? Or was it that the warm embrace last night was just a dream...

"Miss, what happened last night?" Chunmei put a hairpin in Xie Yongwei's hair. "Chunmei is dull and didn't notice anything. If you are really worried, maybe you can ask the maids who are on night duty."

"it is good."

Xie Yongwei responded with a rather dull tone. Even Chunmei, who practiced martial arts, couldn't notice the unusual movement, so how could those ordinary night maids notice it?

She stroked her chin gently. It seemed that if the man's martial arts skills were not so strong last night that he escaped everyone's sight, then she must have been hallucinating and imagined that embrace.

But the touch was so real. Also, would I move my legs and run back to the bed in my dream?

I have never sleepwalked. I heard from maids like Chunmei that I sleep very soundly and can maintain one posture for a long time without moving, from night to dawn.

Forget it. Facing the mystery of last night, Xie Yongwei decided to ignore it for the time being. After all, she had more important things to do today.

According to what I knew in my previous life, there would be a flood in Chizhou in three months. And according to my previous life when I ascended the throne, the Imperial Observatory had already observed an unusual phenomenon and secretly reported it to the emperor.

Logically speaking, the emperor should also be prepared.

The strangest thing is that according to the records I saw in my previous life, there were actually not many casualties among the people when the flood occurred.

What really caused people to fall ill in large numbers was food shortage and epidemics.

Xie Yongwei frowned. In her previous life, after the flood in Chizhou, the emperor took it very seriously and immediately ordered the allocation of disaster relief money and food needed in the disaster area.

If this is the case, why did so many people die of famine?

Xie Yongwei closed her eyes gently, and understood everything in her heart.

It was probably because the officials in Chizhou embezzled money, collected the grain, hid the silver, and did not care about the lives of the people.

A major disaster is almost always followed by a major epidemic.

The people of Chizhou were already short of food and clothing, and were emaciated from hunger. In addition, the epidemic came with such force and unexpectedly that ordinary people had no ability to resist and could only allow themselves to be slaughtered by the sickle of death like sick seedlings.

Xie Yongwei clenched her fists. The corrupt officials in Chizhou were truly abominable. She had also been involved in official struggles in her previous life, so she naturally knew that the officials in Chizhou were not so bold as to embezzle the disaster relief funds on their own.

It seems that the person who actually caused the chaos in Chizhou is most likely in the capital, and is quite powerful.

Who could it be?

Almost in a flash, Xie Yongwei remembered something from her past life.

After the Chizhou turmoil, Jiang Yu seemed particularly happy.

Xie Yongwei asked him. Jiang Yu smiled mysteriously and told her that he would be rich in the future.

At that time, Xie Yongwei didn't understand and tried to ask but to no avail.

Now that Xie Yongwei has been reborn, thinking about the money that was embezzled and the phrase "there will be money in the future", there is no way she doesn't understand.

You are so good, Jiang Yu. In order to fill your own private treasury, you withheld the disaster relief money, causing the people to suffer.

It seems that Jiang Yu may have a secret connection with the Chizhou official.

Even the officials of Chizhou listened to Jiang Yu's instructions and mustered up the courage to seize the batch of disaster relief supplies and silver.

Some of them were smart enough to keep the silver and sell the supplies at high prices.

After the flood, there was another epidemic. Ordinary people could not afford so much money, so they could only watch the life-saving supplies fall into the hands of local wealthy businessmen and be sold at a high price again.

Xie Yongwei shook her head. No wonder the flood in Chizhou in the previous life turned into a disaster that almost changed the fate of Dayuan, and the people fled in all directions.

It was because the victims of the Chizhou disaster came to the capital and cried on the streets that aroused the indignation of the people in the capital, and the emperor of the previous life finally noticed the corruption in Chizhou.

only……

Xie Yongwei chuckled, and the matter was left unresolved.
