"Then Aiqing can leave tomorrow." No matter how much reluctance there is in the south of the city, he can only let Mu Ran go, and the floods in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be delayed.

"Yes, Nachen will go back and prepare tomorrow's luggage first." Mu Ran said goodbye to the south of the city.

"Wait."

Mu Ran heard Chengnan shouting at him, stopped and looked back at Chengnan.

"Be careful when you go to Jiangnan tomorrow, if necessary, you must tell me, if you encounter any problems, you must not act alone, have you heard?" Cheng Nan said to Mu Ran with a very serious expression.

"Poof." Mu Ran laughed all of a sudden.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'm not a child anymore."

Mu Ran looked at Chengnan so serious, coughed lightly, and bowed to Chengnan.

"The minister must obey the emperor's command."

Following.

"Aiqing will go this time, and he must abide by what I said yesterday." Seongnam repeatedly instructed. I'm afraid that Mu Ran will be disobedient and act alone.

"Yes, the minister will obey." Mu Ran knew what Chengnan was thinking, and he didn't dare to let him worry anymore.

"Let's go!" Seongnam don't look over, I can't bear to look at him.

"Hmm." Mu Ran turned around and got into the carriage and went to Jiangnan with disaster relief materials.

Three days later.

Mu Zhi opened Mu Ran's car curtain, and said to Mu Ran, who closed his eyes inside, "After the two mountains in front of you, it is the Jiangnan area, do you want the prince to let the army rest for a while?"

Mu Ran stuck his head out of the window and looked at the sky, there was no rain, "Well, give the order to go down and rest in place." ”

Mu Ran got out of the car and ate dry food with the soldiers, and suddenly heard a horse bark, thinking that it was a bandit, and hurriedly protected Mu Ran, and the soldier who sat down immediately threw down the food in his hand and raised his weapon.

"Woo...... "A man dressed in black, riding alone on a black horse."

With Mu Ran, he saw it clearly, and the person who came exclaimed, "Seven sons!" What are you doing here? ”

The seventh son dismounted and saluted Mu Ran: "The emperor ordered his subordinates to come and protect the safety of the prince on this trip. ”

"You come to accompany me, what about the emperor?" Mu Ran asked unhappily.

"The emperor has died." The seventh son replied respectfully.

Wen Fu has been staying by Chengnan's side since he was disabled by the master, and although he is not as powerful as before, he can't be underestimated.

Mu Ran knew that it was impossible for the seventh son to leave Mu Ran without the emperor's order, so you could only let him follow.

"Let's have something to eat." Mu Ran replaced the dry food with the seventh son.

Qizi took it and took a bite hard, he hurried overnight, and he hadn't eaten for two days.

"Eat slowly, there's still there. Give him water. Mu Ran looked at Qizi and knew that he hadn't eaten for a few days, this group of secret guards was extremely capable of doing things, as long as the emperor arranged it, there was nothing that could not be done. If it cannot be completed, all of them will apologize with their lives.

"Boom...... Boom ............Boom "There was thunder in the sky, and it seemed to be another heavy rain.

At night, the heavy rain that lasted for a month fell unexpectedly.

"Lord Wang, there is Jiangnan in front." Mu Zhi shouted at Mu Ran in the heavy rain.

Because of the heavy rain, Mu Ran decided to set off overnight and rush to the most flooded place at dawn.

"Okay, pass the order down, let the soldiers see the road under their feet well, and don't fall." Mu Ran shouted at the eyes in the rain.

A touch of sunset shone down, and the place in the south of the Yangtze River, which should have been as beautiful as a flower, was full of corpses everywhere, the homeland was lost, and the tragedy was terrible, and bursts of crying reached Mu Ran's ears.

This is the suffering of the people, the ruthlessness of the disaster.

"See the Regent." The county magistrate brought people to the county entrance to pick up Mu Ran.

Mu Ran looked at the county magistrate covered in mud and nodded with satisfaction.

"This flood is the most serious disaster in this county, and this king will stay in this county from today until the disaster is controlled." Mu Ran looked at the county magistrate covered in mud and said leisurely.

The county magistrate didn't dare to look directly at Mu Ran's eyes, and secretly wiped his sweat, "The prince is here, it is really the hardship of this county, this county is located in the middle of nowhere, if there is no good hospitality, please forgive the prince." ”

"Well, take this king to the dam." Mu Ran didn't have much to do with the county magistrate, he just wanted to solve it quickly and return to the palace.

"Yes."

The county magistrate took Mu Ran to the dam to see the damage. Last night it rained heavily, and the dam could not withstand the heavy pressure and collapsed completely.

Although the residents of the coast had long since evacuated, the flood was much heavier than expected, and many people were drowned. There were corpses everywhere on the surface of the water that had not yet had time to be salvaged, and there was a foul smell.

"County magistrate, how many people died in your county due to this flood, and how many people were affected?"

"Back to the prince, a total of about 11,000 people died in the flood, and 35,000 people were damaged by the flood."

"Well, let's go back." Mu Ran didn't want to see this river full of corpses.

"County magistrate, in this disaster relief, due to the emptiness of the treasury, this king only brought 10,000 taels of silver." Ke Muran drank tea and said leisurely.

"Lord Wang, only 10,000 taels of silver?" The county magistrate couldn't believe that the disaster was so serious.

"Yes, the affected area is wide and the number of people is large, and this is the only thing in the country. You can figure out the rest yourself, after all, you are in the county magistrate. Mu Ran drank tea and said leisurely, not taking this matter to heart at all.

"My subordinates are incompetent, and I don't know how to deal with the flood with this mere 10,000 taels."

"Too little?" Then don't ask for it, Mu Ran put the teacup down heavily.

The county magistrate was so frightened that he knelt down directly.

It is rumored that this regent has changed his temperament greatly since he was crowned king, and he is ruthless and oppresses the emperor everywhere, and if he is angered, he will never end well.

The county magistrate was terrified of this plague god, and trembled with fright, "My subordinates don't dare, my subordinates must do a good job of this disaster relief." ”

Mu Ran got up and squatted in front of the county magistrate, "That's right!" Understand that people are good at doing things, and rest assured that this king will not treat you badly. The king went back to the palace first to report to the emperor. ”

"Okay, good, send off the prince." The magistrate wished that the regent would leave.

Shenshan is twenty miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to see the situation inside from the outside, which is a natural barrier. In the evening, Mu Ran ordered the soldiers to camp and recuperate.

"Lord Wang, you want me to check it out, this county magistrate is really a big corrupt official as expected by the prince, and he swallowed two-thirds of the disaster relief materials some time ago." Qizi had just returned from Jiang County, and he had a general idea of the county in one night.

"Well, this king thought that he was only greedy for a small amount, but he didn't expect him to be greedy so much." Mu Ran hated it so much, it was the state's funds for the disaster area to rebuild the homeland, but now it fell into the arms of others.

"This king has given him 10,000 taels to see what he does." Mu Ran's smile was extremely sinister.

The seventh son is embarrassed, has he been with the emperor for a long time? Even the insidiousness of the emperor has been learned.

Palace.

"The emperor has already arrived in Jiangnan, and he found that the county magistrate of Jiangxian County, which was the most severely affected, was seriously corrupt, and now he has withdrawn to Shenshan, which is twenty miles away. The prince gave the county magistrate 10,000 taels of disaster relief funds, and planned to go to Jiang County in three days. Wen Yu received the letter from the prince and immediately came to report it to Chengnan.

"Yes, I see."

The heart that had been suspended for many days could finally be settled.

"Your Majesty, this regent is becoming more and more like the emperor." After Wen Yu followed Seongnam, this mouth couldn't stop, and he always laughed at Seongnam. Seongnam sometimes regrets keeping him by his side.

Seongnam turned his head helplessly and asked him, "Where is it like?" ”

"It's getting more and more insidious."

When Chengnan heard this, he slapped it over.

"Got fat?" Seongnam glared at him.

Wen Shu looked at Chengnan staring at him like this, but he was not afraid at all.

"No fat."

"That's not going to do anything." Chengnan felt that he was his own favorite, and this group of secret guards were not afraid of him one by one, and they joked about him and Mu Ran every day.

When this group of secret guards was formed, Mu Ran and he searched in the beggar's den for seven days before they found twenty people who were satisfied. They have been trained strictly since they were young, but they are usually like brothers. Now fifteen years have passed, and there are only twelve people left in the secret guards, if it weren't for their twenty people, Chengnan would have died many times, they sacrificed too much for this country, this emperor. But as secret guards, they can't let others know, and they can't leave their names after death, so they can only be buried hastily. Seongnam always felt that he felt guilty about them, and he swore that one day he would give them a bright burial and let them have a place to live.

Three days later, Jiangnan.

A Xiao Si hurriedly ran into the government office from outside to report to the county magistrate.

"County magistrate, it's not good, that ......"

The county magistrate looked at this little stammering speechless, and his head was a slap.

"Tell me clear."

Xiao Si was beaten by him like this, and his speech immediately became smooth, "The regent is back!" ”

"What!" The county magistrate grabbed Xiao Si's clothes in disbelief, "Have you seen clearly?" Are you sure you're the regent?"

"yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and he's at the dam right now."

"It's over, it's over." The county magistrate screamed and scratched his head.

"What's over? Jiang County Magistrate? Mu Ran came back to find the county magistrate after seeing the dam, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the county magistrate muttering, and he only felt funny.

"For the sake of it, go to the back kitchen and boil some ginger soup for the soldiers to drink." Mu Ran has been staying in the mountains for the past few days, and many soldiers have been infected with wind and cold, and diseases are rampant here, so let them drink some ginger soup to get rid of the cold.

"Lord Wang, why are you here again? Didn't you go back to the capital? The county magistrate didn't dare to look up at Mu Ran.

"What are you shaking? This king will not eat you again. Mu Ran smiled and helped the county magistrate up.

The county magistrate looked at Mu Ran's smile, and his body trembled even more.

"The county magistrate is shaking so much now, this king is afraid that you will shake yourself to death."

Mu Ran smiled gently and elegantly.

But in the eyes of the county magistrate, he is a demon.

"Lord Wang, you can also drink some ginger soup." There was a bowl of pale yellow ginger soup with a strong ginger flavor, and there was a little bit of ginger residue floating on it.

Mu Ran took a sip lightly, "It's so fragrant!" This ginger soup is to be drunk while it is hot, so as to warm the body, if it is cold, it is not only bad for the body, but also unpalatable. ”

The county magistrate looked at Mu Ran, who was drinking ginger soup like this, and couldn't help but want to retreat, but Qizi, who was also drinking a bowl of ginger soup, blocked his way back.

"How dare you go in front of the prince?" Qizi glared at him fiercely, and the county magistrate screamed in fright. immediately ran to Mu Ran and knelt down and kept kowtowing, "Lord Wang, I didn't do anything, I don't know anything." ”
