"Yes, of course, but our prefect is such a thief."
"We respectfully appeased the imperial envoy, gave him silver to distribute porridge, built dams, and reported to the court.
After coaxing the Imperial Envoy away, they won't care about the lives of the victims. "
"After the dam is built, doesn't it have to be inspected by officials from the imperial court before it can be approved?"
This is where Mu Yunchen is confused. He can understand the rest, and it also allows corrupt officials to take advantage of the loophole.
The only thing is that even if the imperial envoy has left, the construction of the dam cannot be completed until it is inspected and accepted by the Ministry of Works of the imperial court.
How did those corrupt officials escape the eyes of those old foxes in the Ministry of Works?
Could it be that someone in the Ministry of Industry is also...
If this is true, then the net is too wide, and there are only a handful of people in the court who have such power.
"Inspection, they won't pry open the inspection, and they can pass it off as if it's intact on the surface."
As he spoke, the man looked around for a while before carefully leaning close to Mu Yunchen's ear.
He whispered: "Brother, you don't know that a few years ago I had the honor of participating in the construction of the dam, and I wanted to do something about the flood disaster.
Unexpectedly, the bluestone bricks that are as hard as iron and most suitable for building dams have been replaced with hollow bricks. "
"How can this dam made of hollow bricks withstand the flood?
We farmers who make a living by growing crops can only accept our fate. Many people die at this time every year."
"Why don't you go to Zhongdu to file a complaint? Or move to another county to live?"
Bai Yu really couldn't understand why. It was already like this and life was so miserable, but no one was looking for another way out.
"You can tell from the first glance that the young master has never married."
Bai Yu choked suddenly.
"We are able to walk as long as we have good legs and feet, but there are elderly, children, women and children at home. I am afraid they will faint on the road before we even leave Fanyang."
……
Along the way, Mu Yunchen didn't speak a word.
The words that the tall man said just now echoed in my mind for a long time, and I couldn't calm down.
I didn't expect that the late emperor and my father had ruled the Kingdom of Mu for many years, and I thought that the great Mu had brought blessings to the world.
Unexpectedly, Fan Yang’s problem was not just flooding, but also corruption. The government was corrupt to such an extent.
Bai Yu also sat upright beside him, not daring to speak, nor wanting to speak.
He thought that by guarding the border and protecting the home, he could allow the people at home to live a good life.
But I didn't expect that although the external threat has been resolved, the internal troubles still exist.
Mu Yunchen looked back at the Guanyin Temple and left without looking back.
What a corruption case.
It really broadened the horizons for this prince.
Lu Li looked at several patients and was almost sure. When he was about to look at the next one, he was blocked by footsteps in front of him.
As soon as he looked up, Lu Li was furious. He stood up, grabbed Wenren Yingshan and walked towards the woods in the distance.
Wenren Yingshan didn't have time to react, but he followed with very skillful steps.
"Little Ali, why did you take me into the woods right after we met? This... this is so inappropriate."
Before he realized the seriousness of the problem, Lu Li was in a bad mood and threw Wenren Yingshan into the haystack.
He questioned: "This plague is man-made. Although there are indeed a few people who got the plague due to floods, the vast majority of patients were poisoned."
Lu Li gave Wenren Yingshan almost no good look and glared at him angrily.
There is no need to point out this, what it means is, the poisoning is your doing.
Normally, we would discuss medical skills and anything would be fine, but these are the lives of so many people.
Seeing that Lu Li didn't seem to be joking, Wenren Yingshan also put away his playful smile.
"This really has nothing to do with me. I'm not a beast, gambling with the lives of the people."
For some reason, Lu Li felt relieved when she heard Wenren Yingshan's explanation.
"really?"
"Of course I'm serious. How could I lie to you about something like this?"
Wenren Yingshan was a little anxious and his tone was a little hurried.
Lu Li glanced at him and said unhappily: "Then why did you come to Fanyang? Could it be that the Prince of He also came to Fanyang?"
When these words were spoken, Wenren Yingshan was stunned. He looked at Lu Li in astonishment, his mouth open for a long time without saying a word.
Lu Li, on the other hand, looked indifferent, as if it was no longer a secret that Wenren Yingshan was the prince's man.
"How...how do you know that I'm working for Prince He?"
"I knew it a long time ago, and I also knew that poisoning His Highness was your token of allegiance to Mu Yunyu."
Lu Li found a piece of grass and sat down.
Wenren Yingshan stood there in a daze for a long time without reacting.
"No... When did you know that?"
"When you left the mountain, your master sent me a message asking me to keep an eye on you and not to do anything improper. Of course I want to know which camp you belong to."
Wenren Yingshan still didn't believe it: "Can't I be in my own camp?"
Lu Li looked at him, admired him carefully for a while, and then shook his head: "No, if you form a camp by yourself, you can't stay in the capital."
Wenren Yingshan wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Lu Li: "Tell me, why did your bad master ask you to come to Fanyang to cause trouble again?"
Wenren Yingshan was not happy with this, because Mu Yunyu was not his master.
In this world, apart from his master and Ali, no one else can make him obedient.
Working with Mu Yunyu was just for fun.
When he first came to the capital, he was still in conflict with Ali. He was too embarrassed to lose face to be with Ali, so he had to go against her. That's when he went to find the fifth prince at that time.
"I came here following the scent of Ali. Wherever Ali is, I will be there."
Hearing this, Lu Li retreated three feet away with a look of disgust on his face, and his expression of disgust was too obvious.
"Flower Monk, are you born in the year of the dog?"
Wenren Yingshan:……
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and the air froze.
After a while, Lu Li was the first to break the silence.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please go back to where you came from."
Having said that, he walked towards the Guanyin Temple without looking back and waved his hand casually.
When Wenren Yingshan saw this, he stamped his feet in anger but did not dare to make any loud noise.
"Hey, you're just leaving like that? You don't need any help?"
"No need."
These two cold words reached Wenren Yingshan's ears.
But he didn't want to give up, so he shouted again: "Are you sure you don't need my help?"
