"This dam has been half repaired, how can it be washed away by this flood, and it will be gone if it says no?!"

"Lord, this ......" was followed by an eight-character bearded official wearing an official uniform.

Another official, whose body was as thin as a bamboo pole, shook his head and stepped forward: "Lord Wang, the previous Changzhou Mu and Zhizhou embezzled most of the material money in the name of construction. ”

"How good can the quality of the materials that the two sent to buy? After I bought it, there were a lot of other things mixed in it, and it is difficult to say. ”

After speaking, his face was sad and indignant.

Bai Qiaoshui glanced at the two adults, and the bearded adult was obviously more timid and cautious.

And this bamboo pole master is an upright heart, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.

These two adults were also the few righteous people who greeted them at the city gate on the day they first arrived in Changzhou.

The eight-character beard is called Shen Yao, and the bamboo pole is called Wang Qi's family.

However...... "How do you know?" Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be done in secrecy? ”

Bai Qiaoshui was grabbed by Xiao Yu's wrist, so he had to lower his body and look up at Wang Qi's family.

Wang Qi's family was taken aback, and probably didn't expect that the dignified princess would bow down and ask him.

This is somewhat unreasonable.

"Lord and Princess, these words are all at a banquet, the drunken words of the former Changzhou Pastor and the previous Governor, and I don't know if I can do it or not."

I see.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and beckoned Xiao Heng to come over.

"When the flood waters recedes, go and knock some stones for the dam, and the king wants to see if they really have such a big guts!"

"Yes."

As soon as Xiao Heng's words fell, Xiao Yu turned to Wang Qi's house: "Lord Wang, this king wants to go to the shelter to have a look." ”

"Wechen, let's lead the way for the prince and princess, and the prince will come with Weichen."

As he spoke, he arched his hand and walked forward.

Shen Yao, who was originally standing beside Xiao Yu with his head bowed, raised his head and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yu and Bai Qiaoshui with a smiling face.

Xiao Yu sighed lightly and pulled Bai Xiaoshui to the front.

The so-called shelters are only straw huts built for temporary shelter.

The wind leaked around the straw shed, and the local people donated their own quilts and clothes to help these people who came to take refuge to block the wind.

Although the quilts and clothes are covered with patches.

There was an old woman with gray hair sitting on the side of the road, and the wind of this season was still mixed with a few biting colds.

The old woman tightened her arms and trembled.

When I looked closely, my lips and hands had also been frozen black.

When he walked past the old woman, Xiao Yu stopped.

"Lord Wang, is this how you treat the people affected by the disaster?"

Although the expression on Xiao Yu's face remained unchanged, the listener clearly felt his grand anger.

"This ...... It's better for Brother Shen to tell the prince. Wang Qijia was speechless, he didn't expect it to be like this.

Shen wanted to wipe his cold sweat, stepped forward, and said, "The prince doesn't know, although our Liyang County is an important place for mineral exports. ”

"But most of those mineral deposits have been eaten by the top, and the money returned to our Liyang County is only a small amount, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, and then there is more and less rich and poor."

"The wind-shielding patches and quilts you see are the best things many poor families can ever come up with."

"In the event of any natural or man-made disaster, the county has no surplus food and shelter to supply, so it has to abandon the old and infirm."

"If the top is not cleaned up, only the bottom is cleaned up, I'm afraid it won't play any substantive role."

"But how can those who are above move when they say they move? Officialdom is so corrupt that we don't want to go along with it. ”

"In the past, several upright officials raised their grievances because they were dissatisfied with the practices of those above them, but they were secretly killed or belittled."

"Seeing that the worried look in the prince's eyes was not fake, the minister dared to reveal the truth to the prince."

Xiao Yu frowned: "Help the old man in first, no matter what, you can't treat human life so lowly." ”

"Xiao Heng, go cook a bowl of ginger soup."

As he spoke, he had already let go of Bai Qiaoshui's hand, took off the slightly thick coat on his body and wrapped it around the old woman, and helped her up.

Xiao Heng was ordered to leave.

The ghost made a god like a god, and Bai Xiaoshui went up to take a hand.

Turning her head to look at Xiao Yu, she was a little skeptical that her previous guess was wrong.

Perhaps, this flood is really just a simple coincidence, and it is not as complicated as she thought.

The old woman's lips trembled with cold, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

After the two helped the old woman in, the crowd in the grass shed looked at them like madmen.

However, Xiao Yu didn't pay attention to these people.

He just smiled at the old woman and said, "Old man, don't talk yet." ”

Xiao Yu squatted in front of the old woman, holding the old woman's two frozen wrinkled hands with both hands.

While exhaling hot air, she rubbed her hands for the old woman.

After a while, Xiao Heng walked in with ginger soup.

Xiao Yu brought it over, fed it to the old woman spoonful by spoonful, and then handed the empty bowl to Xiao Heng.

"You lie down and rest first, rest assured, as long as this king is here for a day, they will not dare to do anything inferior to the previous beast."

Bai Qiaoshui saw this side of Xiao Yu for the first time, and felt that he was like a child.

A child who snuggles up to his mother and guards his mother.

"Lord Wang, let's go out first and see if there is anything else that needs to be done, here are Lord Wang and Lord Shen watching."

To her surprise, Xiao Yu didn't answer her words this time.

Instead, he stood up directly, took Bai Qiaoshui's hand, and lowered his head and walked out.

Bai Qiaoshui thought that he wanted to take her around the shelter again, but ......

After crossing a bridge and through a small cypress forest, a pool of blue water appeared in front of the two of them.

She didn't understand why Xiao Yu brought her here.

was about to ask, but was hugged by Xiao Yu.

"Weak water, this king, it's very sad."

Will he be sad too?

Yes, he is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he may be sad.

But what can she do now?

hugged His Royal Highness King Su, patted him on the back and said, "Don't be sad, not sad."

Or just "cry when you're sad, no one will laugh at you, except me, of course." ”

Belch...... She didn't mean to add the latter sentence on purpose.

Definitely not.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, a low sobbing sound came from her ears, which sounded very forbearing.

A cup of tea.

Two cups of tea.

Three teas.

"When this king saw that old man, he thought of Bai Ningyu, and this king couldn't understand why this was happening."

"Even after all these years, she has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, but I still think of her as a mother from time to time."

"She ignored me, but I never hated her, even though she hated me to the core."

"Huh, you know what?"

She knows a yarn, how can she know about your family......

"When I was eight years old, she asked me to go to her yard and said she had made me a new dress."

"She never made me clothes, so I was happy to run over that time."

"She did make me a very handsome white with gold trim, and I was happy to change it immediately."

"As a result, my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law, who was standing behind me, actually covered my mouth and nose from behind with the original coat on my body."

"Heh, that woman actually wants to suffocate me like this."

Hearing this, Bai Qiaoshui was shocked to realize if she had heard some terrible secret.

To outsiders, it seems that the Su Wangfu with a happy family hides these unwillingness in it.

Xiao Yu is so pitiful.

"Xiao Yu, your jaw makes my shoulder hurt."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately let go of the white weak water.

Bai Qiaoshui rubbed his shoulders and arms, which had been numb.

"Xiao Yu, I sympathize with you. Although my mother died a long time ago, I still have a father who regards me as his life. ”

"Don't look at him very harsh, in fact, every time I do something that he thinks is bad, he can't do anything about me."

"You're so sad, I miss my old man, alas......"

Sitting on the edge of the lake, looking at the calm surface of the lake with melancholy.

"Knock, knock......" A small pebble hit the water surface several times before sinking.

"Weak water, when the dam is repaired this time, I will take you back to the general's mansion to save your relatives, as a thank you to this king, should you do something?"

Damn, she thought Xiao Yu was really so kind!

It turned out to be purposeful.

Xiao Yu is really a calculating person.

Beat around the bush, is it really good?

"The weasel greets the chickens for the New Year, and they are uneasy and kind."

The breeze blew, and Xiao Yu sat down on the grass beside Bai Qiaoshui.

Inexplicably, a sentence came: "Bai weak water, now you can't run away." ”

After speaking, the corners of his mouth immediately hooked up a meaningful smile.

Bai Qiaoshui hadn't figured out this situation at all, so he was taken over by Xiao Yu.

"There is only one way for those who know the secrets of this king to leave this king......"

"Stop, stop! I know. ”

There's only one way...... That's dead.

Everyone knows that killing people is the best way to keep secrets.

"Weak water, let's be a real couple."

Eh, wait!

What did His Royal Highness King Su say just now?

Do...... Real Couple......

You're a girl, absolutely not, she hasn't seen enough of her beautiful man!

How can you just wait for Xiao Yu's arrival like a deep resentful woman all day long?

Bai Qiaoshui turned his head, looked at Xiao Yu, and said, "No, no, absolutely not!" We signed an agreement at the beginning, and you are not allowed to unilaterally break the agreement. ”

"Or do you believe that this girl can make you restless, unable to eat, and have no focus in your eyes, and sue you for bankruptcy?"

"Whatever you want, as long as you're happy."

“……”

According to Xiao Yu's character, this sentence obviously doesn't look like what he said.
