"My lord, I remember that during the three years of assimilation, heavy rain fell in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, but the embankments of the six roads in the south of the Yangtze River only collapsed, a small section, and at the same time did not cause flooding, but this time it was ......"

"Assimilation for three years is a typical rain and rain disaster, but this year it is just the opposite, this Jiangnan was originally rainy, how to prevent and relieve disasters Jiangnan should have its own set, but this year it has reached such a point where it can't end, there is no fraud in it, I don't believe it!"

Xu Fang was originally a counselor, and his sense of smell was much more sensitive than ordinary people in investigating and dealing with corruption.

"Sir!"

Xu Fang was analyzing the case with the students, but Xu An's voice outside broke in at an inopportune time.

"What are you doing with such a fuss, you kid?" Xu Fang was a little displeased, frowned and said.

"Master, it's the text of the capital that has arrived." Xu An was a little embarrassed, but he still handed over the official document in his hand.

Xu Fang glanced at him, stretched out his hand to take it, and waved his hand to call him down.

"My lord, is there something going on in the capital?"

Xu Fang opened the official document and saw that his brows had stretched a little, but he was still half-twisted, and said, "The regent has arrived." ”

"Didn't the Lord Regent receive his will to go to the border?"

"I'm afraid it's a matter of 100,000 in Jiangnan, and the regent should have returned to Beijing." Xu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, the regent is much better than the third prince, even if he doesn't understand the matter of water conservancy, but there is always a helper in investigating the officialdom and checking the accounts.

The regent has no stake in Jiangnan, and he himself doesn't seem to show any interest in the dragon chair above the nine heavens, and then there is his military background, he is loyal and upright, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.

It is better for him to come than other princes.

On the night when Xu Fang received the text from the capital, Murong Yixuan and his party also arrived, and Xu Fang was a little surprised when he heard the report.

"The regent has arrived, how can it be so fast?"

What a march!

"The villain doesn't dare to deceive the lord, the regent has indeed arrived, lord, as soon as the regent arrives, I'm afraid he will have to settle down in the hotel, you see?"

"Go down and make arrangements! Prepare for this, we may have to find another place. ”

"My lord, why do you say that the regent is in such a hurry?"

"The Lord Regent has always been of such a disposition, and if the situation were urgent, he would not delay for a quarter of an hour longer." Xu Fang has been in the court for many years, and he knows them very well about these princes and princes.

"Okay, let's go and prepare to meet it, and while we are talking, the prince should also arrive."

As he was talking, Murong Yixuan, dressed in silver civilian clothes, strode in with Yan Qingge and a few entourages.

Xu Fang looked at the person and walked in front of him before he reacted: "Weichen see the prince." ”

Murong Yixuan helped him and said, "Lord Xu, Lord Chen is polite." ”

Xu Fang saw that his group was all dressed in civilian clothes, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

"The minister has received a letter from the capital, and he also asked the prince to settle down in Xingyuan."

Murong Yixuan nodded: "There are not many people brought by this king, and there is always a place for this king to settle in this huge mansion." ”

Xu Fang smiled when he heard this: "The prince made fun of it, the prince of the prince has arrived here, and the hotel is naturally the prince's decision, and Weichen should find another place to work." ”

When Murong Yixuan heard this, he waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "Lord Xu is Lord Qincha, not to mention that this place is a member of the Qincha, where is there a reason for Lord Xu to make land for this king, this king is a person who arrives later, so naturally there should be a first to come." ”

Xu Fang's face was silent, and he just said: "Thank you for being so micro-ministered." ”

Xu Fang knew that when Murong Yixuan first arrived in Jiangnan, he must have something to tell him, so he asked the students to go down, and there were only two of them in the whole room.

"When the king returned to the court from the border, His Majesty said that he had sent an adult to Jiangnan, although the adult was upright, His Majesty was worried that the adult would offend too many people in Jiangnan."

Xu Fang listened to it and said with a smile: "The minister is a counselor, it doesn't matter if he offends people, he can't offend people, not to mention that he can only offend and can't offend, he has already been offended in the capital, and it's the same in Jiangnan, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

He thought that Murong Yixuan was telling him to stop at the right time, and he didn't agree with it.

"Lord Xu thinks that he has offended someone, but this person has been offended, so where can he be offended?

No one dares to do anything to you in the capital, there are local snakes everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and you, the imperial historian from the capital, may not be able to bear it! His Majesty said that adults are very good at offending people, so he let go of his hand to offend, and the king will ensure the safety of adults during the investigation of the case in Jiangnan. ”

Murong Yixuan was still very polite to Xu Fang, after all, he was a well-known Qing official in the court, and Murong Yixuan also respected such a person.

What's more, a counselor, to be able to make the emperor like this, I'm afraid there are some means.

When Xu Fang heard this, his expression was a little complicated, and he got up and saluted Murong Yixuan: "The prince is serious, he is really going to torture the minister." ”

"My lord has been in Jiangnan for many days, the situation in Jiangnan, you know better than this king, and this king won't say much, what is the current situation in Jiangnan, we all know it in our hearts, so we will open the skylight and say bright words.

Jiangnan things to this day, there must be natural disasters, but there are also a lot of man-made disasters, this king has traveled all the way, the impact of this natural disaster is so huge, it is better to determine the natural disaster first, and then move the disaster when we have our hands free. ”

"What the prince said is that Weichen also thinks so, and it is ashamed to say that the disaster in Jiangnan has not been effectively alleviated for many days in Jiangnan, and now the most powerful rise is rice noodles, and there is a shortage of medicine in some places."

"This king knows, what this king wants to know is that there is an epidemic in Jiangnan today?"

Xu Fang thought for a while and shook his head: "Back to the prince, it should be that there is no existence in Jiangnan, and the minister has been in Jiangnan for many days, and he has never seen it, but this time, there are many people who died in the flood, some who couldn't escape and were swept away by the waves, some climbed trees and fell to death, and some were bitten by poisonous snakes on the trees, the situation is really not optimistic!" ”

"Yes, the six provinces in Jiangnan have been affected, by the way, how about the 100,000 silver for disaster relief spread by the imperial court, and Lord Xu, before you came to Jiangnan, there were 20,000 silver taels for disaster relief from the capital, and these 20,000 yuan are not the accounts of the household department, but Your Majesty's."

"I don't know about the 20,000, and these 100,000 have been sent to the state capitals, but how many of them fell to the head of the victims, and the minister doesn't know." Although the money allocated by the imperial court has been distributed to various places in accordance with the procedures, whose pockets did the money go into in the process of distribution? Xu Fang was not sure.

"How did this king hear that Lord Xu was checking the accounts? What year are you checking your accounts? Murong Yixuan didn't go around the bush and asked straight to the point.

"Back to the prince, the minister checked the old accounts, and the flood in the south of the Yangtze River is quite weird, so the minister suspects that there is a problem with the silver taels for dredging the river and reinforcing the embankment allocated in the old years."

"Did you find anything?"
