There are thousands of palace people and guards on duty in the palace, and it is difficult to screen out one person from so many people.

Emperor Hengde first asked Gu Hengzhou and Zheng Yue to screen the manpower transferred from Dali Temple and one hundred elite Janissaries, and after confirming that there was no problem with these people, he asked Gu Hengzhou and Zheng Yue to go to each palace with the golden order to check one by one, and they must find out the assassin.

The palaces had already turned off the lights and were ready to go to bed, but when they heard the news of the assassins, they all turned on the lights, waiting for the people of Dali Temple and the prince of Zhenguo to take people to screen.

The entire palace was brightly lit, and everyone was panicked, only feeling that this winter was more cold than any winter, and Zhaoling, which had been stable for so many years, was afraid that the sky would change again......

The palace was lively all night, everyone tossed and turned, Shen Bai didn't sleep much, the next day early in the morning, walked around the state capital, asked Wei Xun for a map of Mozhou, took the two Praetorian Guards out of the city, and went straight to the swamp.

Shen Bai knew where the swamp was, but in order not to arouse suspicion, she still pretended to look at the map for a long time, and took the wrong path twice to find it.

The swamp was a low-lying area that was very vast, and at this time the vegetation in the swamp had died, revealing its barren nature.

There is a small hill between the swamp and the Beitong River, Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou came to control the flood in the previous life, Gu Hengzhou directly transferred 10,000 elite soldiers from the Lingzhou Lieutenant Battalion, and these 10,000 people quickly bulldozed the hill and introduced the river into the swamp, but in this life Shen Bai only brought thirty Praetorian Guards, if these thirty people were allowed to dig, I was afraid that they would not be able to dig until next year.

Emperor Hengde only gave her a month, and this time the water diversion had to be carried out in a very simple and crude way.

Shen Bai went around the periphery of the swamp, went to the hill to inspect again, returned with two Praetorian Guards, and found Wei Xun and said that he would go to the city to buy two hundred stones of gunpowder.

As soon as Wei Xun heard this, he knew that Shen Bai was fighting the idea of blowing up the mountain, and he said to Shen Bai: "My lord, it is difficult to buy so much gunpowder in Mozhou City for a while, so you have to purchase it from several places around, and it will take at least seven or eight days to come and go. ”

Shen Bai also thought of this, she nodded, and wrote on the paper: It's okay, even if the Lord sends someone to procure, there is also Lord Lao who posted a notice in the city to recruit volunteers, and then the mountain will be blown up and the canal will be built, no one can do it.

Seeing the word "volunteer", Wei Xun's eyelids couldn't stop jumping, and he asked suspiciously: "My lord, didn't Your Majesty allocate disaster relief funds?" Why do you need to recruit volunteers? ”

Zhaoling has prospered for nearly a hundred years, and the imperial court has always been generous and generous, and the disaster relief funds allocated for each disaster relief are very rich, and the people are more than enough to rebuild, not to mention, the local officials have also made a lot of oil and water.

This year's harvest in Mozhou is average, in order to congratulate Emperor Hengde on his birthday, all states have paid more taxes than in previous years, Wei Xun also pointed out that this disaster relief money can fill the lower treasury, but I didn't expect Shen Bai to be so picky, and he didn't even want to pay the wages of the workers who built the ditch.

Shen Bai was bold and wrote on the paper: Building a ditch is a good thing that benefits and benefits future generations, and the imperial court's disaster relief is not to let adults give porridge every day to feed idlers, if these refugees have the heart to serve the court, can't they take the initiative to sign up as volunteers?

This was true, Wei Xun couldn't refute it, nodded, and then asked the topic he was most concerned about: "It's okay to recruit volunteers, but what are you going to do with the extra disaster relief funds?" ”

Of course, it will be handed over to the national treasury.

Shen Bai wrote without hesitation, then looked at Wei Xun with a smile, and asked silently: Does Lord Wei still want to directly divide up the excess disaster relief funds?

Wei Xun's expression was a little uncomfortable, he originally thought that the noble young master from Hanjing spent money like flowing water, and he didn't know anything in his heart, how could he know that Shen Bai was so careful and wanted to help the court save money.

Shen Bai asked Wei Xun: Does Lord Wei have a better proposal?

Wei Xun shook his head and hurriedly said: "Xiaguan will let the master draw up the notice, and after a while, it will be prepared for the adults to look at first, and then rubbed it out and posted it all over the city." ”

Shen Bai nodded and asked Wei Xun to go to Zhang Luo.

Shen Bai took a nap in the house after lunch, and he was still very tired from rushing one after another, and it was not enough to recover after resting for one night, and he basically didn't fall asleep last night.

I was so tired, Shen Bai slept very deeply this nap, and when he woke up, it was already dark, the maid was not there, and there was no light in the house, and it was a little dark and a little infiltrating.

After sleeping for too long, Shen Bai's hands and feet were a little weak, and her tongue was so painful that she couldn't shout, she supported herself and prepared to get up, and suddenly found that her chest was very heavy, as if she had pressed a boulder.

What's that?

Shen Bai touched it with his hand, touched a hairy head on his chest, was startled, instinctively pushed the head away, a carp jumped up from the bed, jumped to the ground barefoot, rushed to the table and touched the fire fold to light the lamp, the dim light suddenly filled the room, the darkness dissipated, and Shen Bai saw clearly that there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy lying on the ground.

The young man was handsome, stocky, and much stronger than Shen Bai, but he was only wearing a gauzy-like smock, and his wheat-colored chest and strong arms and legs could be seen clearly under the candlelight.

The young man's face was a little swollen, he should have been slapped by someone, and at this moment, his face was blushing, and he was glaring at Shen Bai viciously, as if Shen Bai had done something to him.

Brother, what did you do when you appeared in my room for no reason and stared at me?

Shen Bai settled down, wrote with a pen and took it to the young man and asked him: Who are you? What do you do in my room?

The young man twisted his head to the side and said in a vicious voice, "I can't read." ”

You can't read, are you still reasonable?

Shen Bai rolled his eyes, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it aside, returned to the table and poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat.

The young man sat motionless on the ground, and after a while, Shen Bai heard his slightly rapid breathing and a voice that seemed to be painful and pleasant.

Shen Bai heard this kind of voice a lot in her previous life, she drank water, and looked at the young man suspiciously.

The young man gritted his teeth and looked ashamed, and couldn't help but roar for a while: "Look at what to see, look at it again, and then look at gouging out your eyes!" ”

Although the words were fierce, there was no momentum when the roar came out, Shen Bai looked at the young man twice, and saw that his face was red, and fine beads of sweat were on his forehead, so he was sure that he was drugged and sent in.

Shen Bai took the teacup in his hand and turned around, his eyes flashed with playfulness, the news of Weizhou Mansion is really well-informed, so quickly found out that she has a habit of liking men?
