Those ministers of the Ministry of Industry, as soon as they heard Si Kong's cold words, instantly fell to their knees in horror and trembled, "The prince is angry, and the ministers deserve death!"

Sikong waved his sleeves and glanced at it lightly, "The failure of the king to be loyal to the king is indeed a crime that deserves death, but there is no one available to this king to start first!"

Listen to the White Maiden's explanation, and then supervise the construction of all the machinery, it must be exactly the same, and as for the construction personnel you need to find, choose from the death row prisoners. ”

Zi Yao got up, unfolded the drawings with Yushan, and explained little by little, down to how to install it, the size and size of each part, Liang Huang was shocked after telling the story, this white flocculent can have such a talent, it seems that he is really clumsy.

***

Ten days later, inside the dungeon.

Zi Yao monitored the progress of the construction every day, and in order to achieve such a large amount of water, it was necessary to have a process of water accumulation in the underground river, reduce the water supply of the river in the city, and build a sluice gate to block the flow of water, so that the river that needed irrigation could be filled.

Everything is in full swing, and the waterwheel is beginning to take shape, looking at the waterwheel that is exactly the same as the one on the drawing, Sikong Qian feels more confident.

Zi Yao's anti-venom drug has made progress, which is what she is most happy about, this medicine does not need to be taken orally, just sprinkled everywhere, and after evaporation, it will permeate the dungeon, and it will work slowly through breathing, it can gradually disintegrate the snake venom in the body of the ghost guard.

If the snake venom does not disturb it, it will naturally have no effect on improving cultivation, and everyone's forcibly promoted cultivation will also regress quickly, and now the more than 20,000 ghost guards in the dungeon will be no different from ordinary people.

Zi Yao didn't go out for three days in a row, and made more than a dozen barrels of the antidote from the Golden Scale Guard, and then stored them in the jade bracelet space, and left another four or five buckets for Aoyagi, so that she could spray these medicines in Anguo Temple, where the ghost guards who came in and out were also extremely considerable.

The fields and barren mountains around Bianjing City were all burned and broken, and then the locusts began to be sprayed to inhibit the flight of locusts, and the locusts everywhere looked horrible, and all the fields began to burn, and the fire burned very spectacularly, and the locusts that were drugged, and the dead grass and invisible insect eggs were all burned.

Outside Bianjing City, a porridge shed was also set up to house the victims, and all the departments of the Great Liang Kingdom were busy, Zi Yao knew that the time was about to be ripe, and now she was waiting for the good news from Chu Xingyuan's side.

***

At the same time, Xining City.

It only took Chu Xingyuan five days to rush here with Yulou, but fortunately, he had already sent someone to find an important piece of evidence in the early stage - the account book, looking at the thin account book in his hand, Chu Xingyuan's brows became deeper and deeper.

Yulou comforted, "Master, don't be angry, these people have become a habit, and there are many dirtier than this." ”

Chu Xingyuan sighed, "According to the records in this account book, the officials of Xining, Shandu, and Qingtang provinces, from the governor, down to the county envoys, and the small officials at the end of the details, have all received these disaster relief funds, and only ten cents of them are really used by the people.

Have you ever asked when the Praetorian Army will arrive?"

"After receiving our message, we will arrive in Xining tomorrow evening or early the next morning. ”

That night, Chu Xingyuan floated out of the inn like a wisp of green smoke, and in the room he conjured up a puppet of his own, sitting in front of the window and writing something to confuse the people around him.

Chu Xingyuan floated in the courtyard of the Governor, it was already late at night, and everyone was already asleep, he closed his eyes slightly and released his divine sense, and easily sensed the location of the Governor, and directly entered the bedroom.

A man and two women on the couch were already asleep, and such a lascivious and extravagant scene made Chu Xingyuan squint his eyes, and he wanted to pinch this Xining governor to death at once, but thinking of Zi Yao's advice, he slowly put away his internal force, and threw an illusion on the Xining governor's body.

He slowly opened his eyes and got up, followed Chu Xingyuan to the outer hall and knelt on the ground, staring blankly ahead, Chu Xingyuan pointed to the paper and pen on the table and said.

"Write down the disaster relief money of the officials of Xining Province to the deity, don't leave Shu Jinghuan, the governor of the Qingtang Dynasty who has left office, and then sign your name and press your handprint. ”

The coercion on Chu Xingyuan's body made the governor of Xining tremble, but after all, he was still immersed in illusion, so he quickly got up, stood barefoot in front of the bookcase, and wrote hard, stating the whereabouts and distribution methods of the disaster relief funds in the past three years, and finally signed his name and fingerprint.

Chu Xingyuan raised his hand and sucked it, this piece of paper had fallen into his palm, this confession was written in great detail, more accurate than the account book he got before, he didn't expect this greedy ink to be put forward by Shu Jinghuan, so even if he was transferred a year ago, this silver tael was held in a lot of money.

The governor of Naxining had already returned to the couch again, Chu Xingyuan narrowed his eyes, and disappeared into the room.

That night, Chu Xingyuan concocted the same method, teleported to the yamen of the governors of Qingtang and Shandu, and got their confessions.

Such a bold act shows that the legislation is still not strict, just like Zi Yao said, there is a lack of supervision and restraint mechanism, so they have the ambition to be greedy, because these people firmly believe that the law does not hold the public accountable.

Chu Xingyuan returned to the inn, the sky was already bright, and he immediately called the Jade Tower.

"Beidi has replied, can the three-way plan that Su'er said be implemented?"

"Back to the master's words, I received a message from the prince last night, the dam mouth of the Motuo River has been blown up, and the river water at the junction of Beidi and Daliang has skyrocketed overnight, and of course the news of the outbreak of the epidemic in Beidi has been released.

Zhou Shuyu got the news, and then used 800 miles to expedite the transmission to Bianjing, it is estimated that it will be ten days later, but the entire border is very chaotic, and the eldest prince asks you to be careful. ”

Chu Xingyuan nodded, "Very good, let's go out of the city to meet the forbidden army, it's better to enter the city together." ”

Yulou was slightly stunned and hurriedly bowed down and said yes, the two of them had a meal, and after some disfigurement, they went out of the city, and before noon, a team of fast horses appeared on the official road, Chu Xingyuan raised the Qincha token and stood on the side of the road, and Hu Yong, the leader of the team, saw him from afar.

Hurriedly tightened the reins and dismounted, and led a team of people to kneel on one knee and bow their hands, "Liu Yong, the deputy commander of the forbidden army of the last general, see Lord Qincha." ”

Chu Xingyuan nodded, "Let's get up, go directly to the city, and go to the Governor's Yamen in Xining." ”

After that, he got into the carriage behind, Yulou sat in front of the carriage, Chu Xingyuan got into the carriage and changed into Qincha's purple official robe, sounded the gong and walked quickly towards the city.

Before entering the city, some officers and soldiers saw it from afar, and ran to the governor's yamen in horror to report the news, and the governor of Xining was also a little stunned when he heard of such a battle, and he did not know why this lord of the Qincha suddenly came, so he quickly changed into official clothes and summoned all the local officials, and prepared to go out to greet him.

Before leaving the governor's yamen, the team of the forbidden army had already appeared at the door, and a guard of the forbidden army shouted loudly.

"Lord Chin has arrived!"
