On the second day, the prince first summoned Jiang Lige to ask about what happened after being arrested, Jiang Lige didn't say anything, only said that she was arrested by that person, and on the way, she broke free while they were not paying attention. The prince also believed it, after all, Jiang Lige was arrested for his safety, she was strong in martial arts, and it was not strange that she could escape back, so she expressed her condolences.

The matter came to an end, and the group continued to set off for the south.

In the evening, we arrived at the south of the country, when it was raining heavily and the road was slippery, and the prince rode his horse early.

The officials knew that the prince was coming, so they waited on both sides of the road early, and after welcoming the prince, they arranged for the prince and his party to live in the Taishou Mansion.

Early in the morning of the second day, the first official visited, and the surname of Nan Nan was Liu, only to see that this person had a fat head and big ears, and he really didn't look like an official in a place like Nannan, but he was dressed in linen clothes, and Jiang Lige and his party only felt very weird.

Liu Taishou made a big salute, thanked the prince and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, you are finally here, our people in the south are bitter, floods every year, if this continues, how will our people live?" ”

The appearance of crying and crying makes people think that he is very concerned about the people.

The prince frowned and said, "Doesn't the imperial court issue Zhenyin every year?" ”

Liu Taishou: "Yes, thanks to Your Majesty and the crown prince for not forgetting us, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hold on to it now, only because the flood is too serious." ”

It stands to reason that poor governance is Liu Taishou's fault, but because Jinan is too poor, no official is willing to come, so Liu Taishou can only continue to sit.

The prince felt a little headache, looked at Jiang Lige, who was sitting on the other side, and said, "Lige, what do you think?"

Jiang Lige got up and saluted the prince, looked at Liu Taishou and said, "Lord Taishou, can you let the general ask you a few questions?"

Liu Taishou said respectfully: "General, please speak." ”

Jiang Lige: "How did Lord Taishou use the silver and food issued by the imperial court?"

Liu Taishou said: "Can the general allow the ministers to bring the account book, every use of the ministers must remember it clearly." ”

Jiang Lige knew that he couldn't find out from the aspect of money and food, so he still said, "But." ”

Liu Taishou waved his hand and asked the little guy next to him to go down and get it. Then he said, "I wonder what else the general wants to ask?"

Jiang Lige: "Every year, it is written in the excerpt of the Taishou that the embankment has been strengthened, but why is this embankment washed away by floods every year?"

Liu Taishou said more and more respectfully: "The general doesn't know, it is the embankment that is strengthened every year, the embankment is getting higher and higher, and the river sand is accumulating, how can the flood be cured?"

Jiang Lige was a little silent, it seemed that Liu Taishou couldn't ask anything here, she still had to go to the embankment to see the reason in person. only said: "As long as what Taishou said is true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Ben will definitely think of a way to come." ”

At this time, the little guy who happened to go to get the account book came back, and Liu Taishou respectfully held Dao Jiang Lige in front of him with both hands, and said, "General, please take a look." ”

Jiang left to pick it up, flipped a few pages at random, the memory was extremely detailed, and the suspicion in his heart was even stronger, seeing that each family in the account had issued two taels of silver, Jiang Lige's face became weird: This Liu Taishou is really not simple! When she came that day, she clearly remembered that the people were almost unclothed and unkempt, and if they had two taels of silver, even if it was a flood, they would be able to barely live, and it seemed that this person was really impure. On the face, there was no shock.

handed the account book to the prince, and the prince saw that there was a gloom behind him, and said on the spot: "Liu Taishou, how can you distribute the money and silver directly to the people?"

Liu Taishou seemed to be frightened, and immediately knelt down, trembling and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin, and the minister just distributed part of the money and silver to the people." ”

The prince's face was not good, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, no wonder your embankment can't withstand the flood!" Do you know that controlling the water is more important than directly feeding the people?"

Liu Taishou said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the people don't even have food, and the ministers really can't bear it." After saying that, I cried bitterly, which was really like.

A trace of ridicule flashed in the eyes of the prince and Jiang Lige, but this person has no handle at all so far, even if it is a crime, it is unreasonable, not to mention that this Liu Taishou still looks like he is thinking about the people.

Knowing that they couldn't catch anything from Liu Taishou, Jiang Lige and the prince rushed to the Jinan River, after all, the top priority was to let the people get through this difficulty.

At this time, the rain was heavy, and when I came not far from the river, I did not see the river, but there was a loud sound, as loud as a bell. Walking a mile further, I saw a high embankment, which was three or four meters above the ground, like a city wall, Jiang Lige and Chu Tianshuo seemed to see each other's mouths twitching, such an embankment will really only pile higher and higher, I really don't know what Liu Taishou thinks. At this time, there were still a few people piling sandbags on it.

Jiang Lige hugged his fists at the prince and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, this embankment is dangerous, please stop, and wait for the last general to go and have a look." ”

Although the prince felt that Jiang Lige walking in front of him made him feel faceless, but the gentleman did not stand under the wall, thinking of this, the prince calmly muttered: "Okay, be careful. ”

Jiang Lige flew up, stopped steadily on the embankment, and observed carefully. The embankment is about five or six meters wide, but the water surface is more than ten meters, at this time, the water is turbulent, the sound is like a flood bell, as if it wants to swallow people, and the water surface is about to overflow the embankment, Jiang Lige flashed bad thoughts in his heart......

Probably after having a bottom in his heart, he flew down, Jiang Lige was like an elf in the rain, all his black clothes were soaked, and the prince was stunned for a while: such a woman, although in such an embarrassing situation, is still thrillingly beautiful, but she is heroic, if it is a few years later, how dazzling she should be!

I saw the woman walking steadily in front of him, and the rain was heavy, and he felt very quiet. The woman clenched her fists and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if this rain continues to fall like this, I'm afraid that this embankment won't last tonight." ”

The crown prince's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but say: "This palace will organize the people to go to the high ground as soon as possible, and avoid this time before talking about others." ”

Jiang Lige: "This is not very appropriate, once this embankment is destroyed, it will affect a lot of villages, and it is also a big project to build houses after the disaster, not to mention far away, just say that this is a few days on the high ground, if there is no money and food supply, I am afraid that the people will be miserable." ”

The prince said thoughtfully: "I don't know what good way General Lige has?" ”

Jiang Lige said: "The minister thinks that young and middle-aged men should be organized to transport stones and strengthen the embankment, and at the same time move the old and weak women and children to the high ground, survive tonight, and the rest will be counted tomorrow." ”

The prince had to sigh at the woman's thoughtfulness, and instructed Liu Taishou to do it.

After a while, I saw a group of young adults being surrounded and coming, all in rags.

Jiang Lige was furious, flew forward, and shouted: "All for General Ben to stop!"
