The situation in Yuwangfu, Chu Nanyue already knew it in his heart.

After Zhang Song came back from Jiangnan Village, he couldn't help but have some doubts when he saw Chu Nanyue waiting for him in the yamen.

"General Chu, why are you here?" Zhang Song asked.

It stands to reason that the water conservancy dispute between Jiangbei Village and Jiangnan Village has been resolved. As long as the previous charter goes smoothly, what will be done in the future is just the aftermath, where does Chu Nanyue need to make another trip?

Although Chu Nanyue's eyes were dark, he didn't speak directly.

Instead, he asked first: "Lord Zhang, how are the people in Jiangnan Village?" ”

"Jiangnan Village is relieved not to go to Jiangbei Village, so I was asked to sit in the town, and now everything is going on in an orderly manner, General Chu doesn't have to worry." Zhang Song replied.

Chu Nanyue sighed slightly, and then said with deep meaning: "Today, His Royal Highness and I discovered some abnormalities, and the dispute in Pingjiang is actually due to another reason. ”

"Another reason?" Zhang Song exclaimed.

He knew that once it was said from Chu Nanyue's mouth, it must have been confirmed. Since yesterday, they have been paying close attention to this matter, and they have also determined that it is the two villages that are fighting for water, and now there is something else out of thin air, so how can he not be surprised.

Chu Nanyue's eyes were calm: "The water in Pingjiang is polluted, but it is actually because someone secretly built an underground canal. The decrease in water volume makes it difficult to maintain the needs of the two villages, also because of the underground canal. ”

"Underground canals? How could an ordinary person want to fix this? Zhang Song asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was abnormal, so he immediately asked, "General Chu, which mansion did you and the Sixth Highness go to today?" ”

"Yuwangfu." Chu Nanyue replied lightly.

Zhang Song's expression became complicated.

He guessed that the person who built the underground canal had a special identity, but he didn't know that it was related to the royal family.

As he spoke, his voice was no longer steady: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Yu, what is the matter with his canal?" ”

"I went to Yuwang's Mansion to check it out, in order to introduce living water to a pool of Qingtan." Chu Nanyue said.

She said with a sneer in her tone, probably talking to others, it is difficult for anyone to imagine that King Yu would come up with such a method, just to satisfy his own selfish desires.

"And I, too, want to ask Master Zhang." Chu Nanyue's eyes were slightly raised, and she looked at Zhang Song with a squint, and her tone was intriguing, "His Royal Highness King Yu's efforts to send people to repair the underground canal did not happen overnight, and it is impossible that there will be no movement, is it true that Lord Zhang has never known about it?" ”

Zhang Song is the governor of the capital. This should not have happened in the land he managed.

"General Chu, the lower officials don't dare to do such a thing without the law of the king!" Zhang Song was anxious to argue.

If Chu Nanyue felt that he was secretly helping His Royal Highness King Yu, it would be difficult for him to explain even if he had ten mouths.

"Okay, you and I have worked together for a while, and I know that Lord Zhang is not such a bold person." Chu Nanyue said. "It's just...... Has Mr. Zhang ever noticed that in the past year, what projects have been carried out in the suburbs of Beijing? ”

Chu Nanyue secretly calculated the time.

The days when she commanded the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing were not short, and the garrisons on the outskirts of Beijing had been stationed here as early as after the division returned to the dynasty.

Soldiers are no more sensitive to everything around them than ordinary people. If someone is building a large number of buildings, the sound will not escape the ears of the soldiers.

But even she didn't hear any strange noise.

Then, there is only one possibility, that is, the underground canal has been repaired before her class teacher returned to the court, but the water has not been completely opened, and everyone is not aware of it.

Recently, Yuwangfu secretly opened the canal and diverted water into the house, which caused the reduction of the water volume of the Pingjiang River and caused conflicts among the villagers.

Zhang Song thought about it for a long time, Chu Nanyue extended the time to this year, he thought that he was still dutiful, and finally remembered something strange.

"General Chu, a year ago, the Pingjiang River built a dike, and at that time, the dikes were damaged in several places, and I was worried that there would be another flood in the future, and the dam would burst. But that time it was only reinforced, and it didn't cost much overall. Zhang Song replied.

"So, did Master Zhang remember what was strange at that time? Even the smallest things count. Chu Nanyue was faintly suspicious.

"It's really strange that it didn't take long to reinforce the embankment, but the project took three months, and the villagers in Linjiang even heard the sound of work in the middle of the night." Zhang Song recalled carefully.

In the past, two months would have been enough, but that time it took three months.

At that time, Zhang Song only thought that the weather was getting colder and the workers were lazy, so it was much slower than expected. Today, however, this is not the case.

Chu Nanyue's eyes looked at Zhang Song: "Lord Zhang, who is in charge of this project a year ago?" ”

Zhang Song's eyes revealed an epiphany: "It's His Royal Highness King Yu!" ”

At that time, he was not named King Yu, but the second prince. Speaking of which, not long ago, Dongling Hong was named King Yu, which is the emperor's view of several merits that Dongling Hong has made.

Back then, Tanglin Hong was able to get this errand because of the Xu family, that is, the power of the fair marquis outside.

There is such an opportunity, which should be cherished, but Chu Nanyue did not expect that Tanglin Hong would use the public for personal gain, taking advantage of the efforts to build water conservancy, and secretly build underground canals for himself.

Because King Yu took over this errand with full authority, the people used are also his own people, and they will not leak the news.

Second, at that time, Tanglin was still fighting, and the courtiers and even the emperor's eyes were staring at the front line.

It is not difficult for Chu Nanyue to think that back then, officials were scarce, and it was the royal people who did things, and the emperor must have not even sent a real supervisor official.

Zhang Song said: "General Chu, are you suspecting His Royal Highness King Yu that he was suspected of using the public for personal gain at that time?" ”

"It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty." Chu Nanyue said. "I have entered the Yuwang Mansion, and the water outlet of the underground canal has also been found, even if I don't investigate the things of the year, the matter of stealing the water of the Pingjiang River is enough for a crime."

"General Chu, His Royal Highness King Yu has a special status, and Concubine Duan is also favored now, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will ......" Zhang Song said fearfully.

Chu Nanyue knew that Zhang Song must have been afraid, he didn't even want to offend the Xie family in person before, but now when it comes to King Yu, he has a lot of concerns, whether it is His Royal Highness King Yu himself, or the Marquis of Pingchang behind him.

However, Zhang Song's concerns are not unreasonable. Although Dongling Shuo told her about the emperor's style of acting, Chu Nanyue still didn't know how the emperor would react to this matter.

She also knew that if the emperor turned a blind eye and dragged things out, it was estimated that King Yu would have enough time to repair the mansion and let her find no evidence.

Then the clues that she and Tanglin Shuo finally found were all in vain.

So Chu Nanyue said to Zhang Song: "Lord Zhang, I want to take some of your servants, and go to Yuwang's Mansion again with my own soldiers." ”

She saw Zhang Song's hesitant eyes, so she smiled and added: "Lord Zhang, this matter is handled by me, you only have to deal with people, and nothing else has anything to do with you." ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Song finally nodded.
