Chapter 79: The Journey to the Sea 1

Yun Wei and the others didn't wait long before the Honghai City Lord rushed over.

"A few must be ministers sent by the imperial court!"

The Honghai City Lord was surprised by the combination of these people.

Two beautiful maids are guarding in front, and they look a little more powerful than those guards or something.

There were also two young men of about the same age.

One was dressed in a light gray robe, dressed quite plainly, but looked a little sickly. His face was obscured by a pale white mask, but there was no mystery in the slightest, as if there was nothing strange about him wearing a mask.

A plain dress dressed in dark white, without any decoration, no matter where you look at it, it looks like an inconspicuous child of a poor family.

The old man with white hair looks no different from the master in everyone's mind.

The most eye-catching is a young girl, with a standard goose egg face, a little baby fat, and apricot eyes that shine when they meet the light. The facial features are impeccablely exquisite, and the best thing is that they are soft together, and a smile can make people's hearts ripple.

While the city lord was looking at Qi Yu and the others, he was also being observed.

Just from the surface, this city lord seems to be quite responsible, at least he is wearing coarse linen clothes, and the layout of the city lord's mansion is also clean and simple.

"This king heard that there was a serious flood in Honghai City, and he came here to help you."

The Honghai City Lord immediately understood Qi Yu's identity, "King Chu, Princess Chu, a few guests, please!" ”

The Honghai City Lord was also unambiguous, and directly led several people to the front line of flood fighting.

It's not as serious as the ministers' nonsense, but the collapse of the Honghai Dam has really had a big impact here.

Those officials are working hard to fight the flood and rescue people, and they dare not stop for a moment. What we see now is people using sandbags as dams to stop the floodwaters.

"I come here every day to inspect and supervise. Although there were many losses, at least not a single civilian was injured. ”

What the?

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several of them were a little exciting.

"There are no casualties?"

Yun Wei asked a few words uncertainly, but the strong man who helped on the side did not need to answer the city lord and wiped his sweat and told Yun Wei the reason.

"It's all the credit of the city lord! This time, the people were evacuated before the flood came, and eighty percent of the troops of the flood sea were used to dig rivers and dredge rivers and hoard food, so that we could survive this catastrophe safely! ”

Sui Zhi City Lord Bai Baishou denied his own merits, "Don't hide it from the King of Chu, although we have taken precautions this time, we still can't avoid the damage to the grain caused by the collapse of the dam." So I reported to the capital, hoping that the imperial court could allocate some food. ”

"Grain?"

Qi Yu was stunned! When this news reached the emperor's ears, it turned out to be the collapse of the Honghai Dam, the people were displaced, and they urgently needed silver and two disaster relief!

Qi Yu frowned, and his mind went through the list of ministers. But even if you think about it, you can't figure out who the person who benefits is.

"Since you are here, King Chu, what about the relief food?"

The city lord's face was already a little wrong, he heard that there was something wrong with Qi Yu's words, it was related to the survival of the people, and his emotions were inevitably excited.

Yun Wei grabbed the emotional city lord and told him to shut up.

Qi Yu also took the opportunity to explain to appease the people, "The imperial court has allocated the disaster relief grain, and the king and princess have come to appease you in advance and bring disaster relief silver." ”

The people also put their minds at ease, and with Qi Yu's assurance, they were no longer worried.

The city lord looked at the excited people blankly, and was annoyed by his actions just now.

"Sorry! I've just gotten a little excited! ”

Back in the City Lord's Mansion room, the City Lord can finally have no worries.

"During this time, the people of Honghai were worried because of my negligence."

The city lord sighed, his eyes a little hazy.

"What happened to Honghai City, City Lord? Why was your flood able to reduce the damage to such a rapid extent? ”

This is something that Qi Yu can't figure out, the Honghai Dam collapsed once a few months ago, and the loss that time was not small. The crown prince emptied almost all of his savings, and the treasury also lost a lot, so the matter of Honghai was resolved in a short time.

Honghai may not have recovered from the last flood, and when it comes to the flood, the people of Honghai are more or less afraid.

It can only be said that the sudden flood last time has cast a psychological shadow on too many people. Within half a year, there was another accident here.

The dam collapsed and flooded, but this time there were no casualties, and everyone was actively coping.

Qi Yu asked his question, but the answer he got was 'Hai Shujian'.

"Is that him? How did he not know the prophets? ”

Qi Yu still can't figure it out, where is there such a spiritual thing?

"Yunwei!"

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Hai Shujian appeared out of nowhere.

"Hai Shujian! What's going on here? ”

"Didn't we go to check on the merchant surnamed Bai last time? I continued to test him, buying rice everywhere to block him, and finally I got out! ”

Hai Shujian was very excited when he talked about this, he had never done such a good thing in his life! The whole person is fluttering.

"It turned out that someone destroyed the Honghai Dam and specially told the person surnamed Bai to ask him to look at the purchase of grain and make a fortune from the disaster."

"Shameless!"

Yunwei heard that some people deliberately raise prices in disasters to make a fortune. I didn't expect to be so shameless by myself.

"I'm going to get him and force him to spit out what he swallowed."

Yun Wei gritted her teeth, and was about to go out with a fierce face, but fortunately she was stopped by Qi Yu.

"Wei'er, you are quiet!"

Yun Wei quieted down, looking confused, "Why don't you let me arrest him?" He violated the 250th law of our country, forced to buy and sell! ”

Qi Yu was a little helpless, "You know the law very well!" ”

"That is, grandpa asked me to memorize those, and I must not offend."

I don't know why Qi Yu thought of the special status of the Yun family, and thought that Yun Wei had to memorize the law when he was a child, and his heart suddenly throbbed.

The Yun family has been under the supervision of the royal family for so many years without any fault, one can imagine how disappointed the Yun family is in the royal family.

Qi Yu took a deep breath and put those things that shouldn't be thought in his mind.

"You know the law well, why don't you know that he is not at fault!"

Yun Weixing's eyes were round, and her face was incredulous. It can be seen that her knowledge of the law was also limited to the superficial.

"Even if Wei'er makes a mistake, we have no evidence, not to mention that forced buying and selling is even more of a fictitious thing."

Qi Yu whispered in her ear under Yun Wei's surprised gaze, "If you think he is guilty, then he is guilty." Don't be bound by those rules in the future, remember, the law is used to restrict ordinary people. It has nothing to do with us. ”

"Really?"

Yunwei has always believed that if he violates the law, he will be punished, and no matter how arrogant he is, he will implement it on the basis of not violating the law.

Now listen to Qi Yu's meaning, don't follow it yourself?

"The law is only customized by the high to restrain people, have you heard that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but have you ever seen the Son of Heaven who is guilty of the same crime as the common people?"
