Chapter 68 Disaster Relief Funds (1)
"Why don't you take a look?" Jiang Mingzhu knew what she was worried about and said deliberately.
Jiang Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally understood what she meant.
"Shiyan, what are you doing?" Jiang Mingzhu looked at Jiang Shiyan in surprise as she rummaged around, what jewelry did she fall off?
"Sister Mingzhu, let's prepare some stones as hidden weapons, if General Wen dares to steal people, we will throw stones at him, and run away after throwing them." Jiang Shiyan said simply.
Jiang Mingzhu couldn't cry and laugh more and more, this is all to blame on her, she told Jiang Shiyan at the beginning that she and Zhuo Yuanlie and a few of them had no intention of bumping into a man flirting with a young girl, so several people secretly hid in several directions, and then threw stones and bricks at the man, and finally the man hugged his head and ran away.
When Jiang Shiyan listened, she admired it, thinking why couldn't she participate in this kind of righteous and courageous behavior.
What Jiang Mingzhu didn't tell her was that their original intention was not to act bravely, but to be angry.
Flirting with beautiful women, how can others take the lead, and the other party is still ugly, which is even more unbearable.
"Poetry, don't pick up stones, let's listen openly." Jiang Mingzhu pulled her up and walked forward.
In a place near the lotus pond in the west of the Water Pavilion Pavilion, Wen Chenyang was talking to the prince Jiang Yurong, his voice was not very loud, and he was not very right to hear.
Du Guiyue stood on the corridor, hesitating whether to go over.
Maybe Wen Chenyang has no impression of her, but she has always known Wen Chenyang.
For a long time, she has regarded Wen Chenyang as the goal of her efforts.
Now that it's finally been seen, she doesn't want to waste this opportunity.
"Chenyang, what do you think should be done about this?" Prince Jiang Yurong said to Wen Chenyang.
When he was in the Water Pavilion, he told Wen Chenyang not to leave, he had something to look for him.
Tonight he was in a very good mood to solve a major problem for a long time.
So he couldn't wait to ask Wen Chenyang to come out and talk about one thing that gave him a headache.
If this matter is resolved, his prestige in the court will be even higher.
"Do you have disaster relief money through the ancient city?" Wen Chenyang frowned.
He has heard of this matter, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the ancient city is particularly serious, the emperor asked the household department to allocate 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, which was originally a good thing to relieve the victims, who would have thought that one day he received a secret report letter, the letter said that the silver for disaster relief is 100,000 taels on the surface, but there are no 30,000 taels for the people.
This secret letter was originally not capable of reaching the emperor's table, but an official with a sense of justice knew about it, brought the letter to Apocalypse City, and handed it to Prince Rui.
Prince Rui glanced at the contents of the letter and entered the palace without saying a word.
The emperor was furious when he knew this, this is the money that saved the lives of the people, and it disappeared so inexplicably, is it embezzlement, or embezzlement?
So the emperor specially ordered the prince to go to the ancient city to investigate, and the prince also went to the ancient city for a month, but there was no progress.
The account of the disaster relief money is very detailed, where the funds are allocated, and what medicinal herbs and grains are bought.
Anyway, on paper, there is no problem at all.
Jiang Yurong also wanted to explore the ancient city of Xiatong privately, but everyone said in unison that they had been relieved by the imperial court, and they were grateful to the imperial court.
And Jiang Yurong also went to the scene of giving rice porridge, which was not as unbearable as the letter said.
Whether the person who wrote the secret letter is deceiving people, or the officials of the ancient city are deceiving people, Jiang Yurong is more inclined to the former.
What he saw with his own eyes and checked with his own hands should not be wrong.
He also wrote a letter to his father, explaining his views, and his father was cautious in two words.
So he wanted Wen Chenyang to analyze who he believed.
"I can't judge what you're talking about, so I'll have to go there myself." Wen Chenyang said calmly.
From the prince's words, he only heard that the parents and officials of Tonggu City had the warmth and hospitality of Prince Jiang Yurong, as well as the well-informed gentry of Tonggu City.
If there is really a problem in this matter, I am afraid that the officials of Tonggu City have secretly warned the local people, and those people are forced to tell lies because of threats.
Of course, it is also possible that the person who believes in the secret letter has selfish intentions, and it is not necessary to frame anyone.
However, Wen Chenyang believes in the people of secret letters.
But he is not a person who judges right and wrong by feeling, and he has to investigate everything himself before he has the right to speak.
"Are you going with me?" Jiang Yurong's eyes lit up and he looked at him happily.
It would be great if Wen Chenyang went over with him, I believe that the truth will be found out soon.
"Nope." Wen Chenyang shook his head, "The prince still goes to the ancient city alone, and I will go there privately." ”
If he appeared with the prince, he was afraid that others would have taken precautions a long time ago, and he would not be able to find out anything at all.
"It's fine." Jiang Yurong nodded, and then he slapped Wen Chenyang's shoulder, "I heard that you got married and married my cousin, tsk, you are also big enough, why do you marry her?" ”
Jiang Mingzhu is a person, he doesn't have much contact with on weekdays, but he has heard a lot of rumors about her, in short, she is a jaw-dropping woman, how can she be a bastard, she doesn't look like a lady at all.
It's still good like Yin Qiutian, talented, beautiful, and gentle, no matter how you look at it, it's all exciting.
"Mingzhu is good." Wen Chenyang replied.
Jiang Yurong stared at him in surprise, "Did you say something wrong just now?" ”
Wen Chenyang lowered his eyes and did not explain, Jiang Mingzhu's goodness was not enough for outsiders.
"Chenyang, you tell me the truth, did my imperial uncle do anything when you got married?" Jiang Yurong lowered his voice and asked.
Jiang Mingzhu loves men, especially handsome men, and Prince Rui is a short-term protector, and he protects Jiang Mingzhu as a baby, if Jiang Mingzhu falls in love with Wen Chenyang, Prince Rui may try his best to realize her wish.
"If the prince has nothing to do, I'll go back first." Wen Chenyang didn't want to continue this topic, so he left this sentence and returned it the same way.
"Sure enough." Jiang Yurong sighed, feeling that he had guessed completely right.
He can't help this matter, and his father is also a protector, and he also connived at his compatriot brother Prince Rui.
If he went to beg his father, he was afraid that he would return in vain.
However, if he registers as the new emperor in the future, he can help Wen Chenyang dissolve his marriage.
"Wen Gongzi." A soft female voice called Wen Chenyang.
Wen Chenyang turned his head sideways, and saw Yin Qiutian walking out of the cobblestone path.
"Miss Yin." Wen Chenyang called out politely.
Yin Qiutian stabilized her mind, she also saw Wen Chenyang come out, so she came out, but she was smart and didn't follow to the end, but waited halfway.
Du Guiyue was about to stop Wen Chenyang, but she didn't expect Yin Qiutian to take the lead, so she took back her outstretched arm and stood quietly behind the pillars in the corridor, wanting to see what they said.
