In the yamen, not far from the bank of the Qinglong River in Beizhili, Yan Jinxuan was working in the back hall of the yamen with the governor, political envoys, envoys and local officials of the province to make an emergency plan to dredge the river.

Seven days of heavy rainstorms caused the water of the Qinglong River to rise sharply, and the excessive flow of water led to the diversion of many rivers, so that more than 400 households were swept away by the floods overnight, and the number of dead and injured residents reached more than 800.

Yan Jinxuan arrived overnight from Bohai after receiving the news the day before yesterday, and immediately deployed emergency rescue work after arriving. Because of his experience in dealing with floods, the number of casualties was quickly contained after his arrival, and now that the remaining residents have been evacuated to safety, the next step is to dredge, improve the river and deal with the aftermath.

Yan Jinxuan, who has been sleepless for two days and two nights, is still full of energy and quick thinking, and he instructs while drawing: "From here, three large tributaries are divided into the mountains and mountains to help discharge the floods, and in the dry season, they can irrigate the five large towns that flow through." Then build dams in these two places, and send the capital water supervisor and the capital water department to garrison ......"

The officials listened respectfully, not even daring to take a breath, they were amazed that the young Yan Jinxuan could handle these complicated and urgent matters so calmly, and also took into account many aspects that they had not taken into account.

In fact, for Yan Jinxuan, who focuses on water control, he already knows the topography of the Qinglong River, so he can point out every place it flows through with his eyes closed.

"We'll arrange for someone to start working in the afternoon, now let's have a meal first." Yan Jinxuan said.

The officials immediately walked to the adjacent dining room.

Yan Jinxuan stretched out his long legs, which were already numb, and exhaled a long breath.

Honka came in with Yan Jinxuan's food.

Yan Jinxuan has not eaten a drop of water or a grain of rice from morning to now, and when he smelled the fragrance of the food, he felt hungry and tired, so he hurriedly picked up the rice bowl, picked up the chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.

"Your Excellency, you haven't shaved for at least two days, have you?" Honka knew that he had been working intensely for the past few days, so he deliberately found something light to talk about.

"yes, is the beard obvious?" Yan Jinxuan asked with a smile, reaching out and touching his chin, sure enough. The hard ones are half an inch long.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to be a bearded man for a few more days." Yan Jinxuan said self-deprecatingly.

"It's okay, you're also a beautiful man with a beard." Honka said busily.

That's the big truth. He felt that Yan Jinxuan's beard was also very tasteful.

Yan Jinxuan didn't say anything more and continued to eat his lunch with relish.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Yan Jinxuan and Honka waited quietly.

Immediately, a man in official uniform came in and reported: "Lord Yan, the personnel sent by the imperial court to support will arrive around the evening. There are more than 300 people, all of whom have some experience in water control. ”

Yan Jinxuan said, "Okay, I know." ”

Continue to eat his lunch.

After a while, there were footsteps.

Before Yan Jinxuan could turn his head to look, he saw Gu Song standing up and greeting him: "Brother Zichao, why are you here?" ”

It is Yan Jinxuan's most powerful subordinate - Feng Zichao.

Yan Jinxuan recently placed him in the capital to pay close attention to the dynamics of Yan Shichong and Zhang Yi and others, if he suddenly came, it would mean that someone in the capital was doing something big, so Yan Jinxuan put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"My lord, I have something important to report down here." Feng Zichao whispered as he saluted Yan Jinxuan.

Yan Jinxuan immediately got up and entered the inner room with him.

Honka stood guard outside the door.

"I would like to inform you of this by the 800-mile express mail, but since I learned the news last night, it will definitely be too late to send the letter until the day. So thinking that the capital was only six hundred miles away from here, he came overnight, but fortunately he arrived before them. Toyoko said with a gasp.

"Let's get to the point." Yan Jinxuan said calmly.

The more he encountered an emergency, the calmer Yan Jinxuan's expression became, Feng Zichao understood him, so his original nervousness when he saw him suddenly decreased a lot.

Feng Zichao sat down opposite Yan Jinxuan, leaned close to Yan Jinxuan's ear and said: "I found out that Yan Shichong made an appointment to meet Zhang Yi again last night, and Yan Shichong asked Zhang Yi to install thirty of his people among the people sent to support today, and these thirty people will come out to make trouble during the construction period, so as to cure your poor supervision......"

Since water conservancy issues are under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry directly dispatches support personnel. Just ask the emperor for approval.

The need to dispatch people to support is often a very urgent situation, very serious incidents, at this time, if there are people who deliberately make trouble, the consequences are unimaginable.

In the case of dam construction, if someone deliberately cut corners or secretly caused an accident during the construction period, it was not only Yan Jinxuan who suffered at that time. There are also thousands of innocent people.

Yan Jinxuan's expression became more serious than ever.

Thirty of the three hundred people were inserted by Yan Shichong, so how can they be distinguished?

The current situation is urgent, and it is impossible for Yan Jinxuan to investigate them one by one.

The only way is to supervise these 300 people all the time and prevent them from having a chance to commit crimes.

Yan Jinxuan said in a deep voice: "Zichao, did you arrange for someone to continue to stare at Yan Shichong when you came?" ”

"Hui sir, there is."

"Then stay with me for the next few days. We're going to have to be busy starting tonight. ”

"Okay."

"Did you find the person I told you to find?" Yan Jinxuan asked in a low voice.

"Yes, my lord, I have found through my relatives a man who has close ties to the Joseon court, and who is now working as an errand in the Imperial Military Affairs Office."

Yan Jinxuan's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "Who does he know in the Korean court?" ”

"A palace maid, it is said that she serves the queen."

"Well, very good, then you ask your friend to inform her, so that she only pays attention to Li Jing's personal marital status, and doesn't want to inquire about the political affairs of the Korean state."

"Yes. Oh, by the way, I went to inquire about the third prince as you instructed, and found that he had been to the mansion of Su Zizhao, the head of the household, three times in the last ten days. Feng Zichao whispered again.

Yan Jinxuan's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at him with burning eyes, "Tell me the specific time when he went." ”

"Afternoon. Generally, it arrives before the head of the household department is still in the office. ”

Yan Jinxuan's expression suddenly became serious, as if he realized something's wrong.

"Zichao, help me keep an eye on the three princes in the future." Yan Jinxuan said quietly.

"Yes."

"There's nothing going on at home, is there?"

"No, everyone is fine, by the way, the niece of the head of the household has come to visit Mrs. Lu."

Yan Jinxuan's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"I came here the day before yesterday, and now I'm still in Su Mansion."

A smile appeared on his lips and he said, "Well, got it." You can go to the next room and rest for a while, and I'll call you again in the evening when I have action. (To be continued.) )
