Chapter 364: Building a Lake in Secret
Wu Lin's henchman instantly lowered his head and replied yes, Wu Lin sneered, and then ate the sincere delicacy on the table with an indifferent face again, as if nothing had happened.
On the other side, Shen Ruogu was dragged by Rong Xiao to go to the snack house in Jiangnan for a walk, and the dazzling array of snacks they had never seen before made them have a great appetite.
Shen Ruogu is very satisfied with this simple thing, although he is indeed a big official now, but some things still can't be changed, Rong Xiao looked at Shen Ruogu with a smile and said: "You don't have any shelf, if you were someone else, you would have walked sideways." ”
Shen Ruogu laughed, eating the sweet meal in the bowl, she Shen Ruogu hadn't eaten anything, whether it was a steamed bun that was about to be rancid or something delicious, now it was just bitter, and she could slowly clean it up when everything was firm.
Those people......
Shen Ruogu had a grain of rice on the corner of his mouth, Rong Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a handkerchief from his pocket, gently leaned to the corner of his mouth and said, "I'll help you stay away." ”
Shen Ruogu was slightly stunned by Rong Xiao's suddenly low voice, and the chopsticks in his hand did not move, and after Rong Xiao slowly took off the sticky rice grain at the corner of his mouth, Shen Ruoguo felt relieved, there was something strange just now.
But Shen Ruogu couldn't say it, Rong Xiao looked calm and natural, and what he wanted to say seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time, Rong Xiaodao noticed Shen Ruogu's wrong demeanor, and thought in his heart, could it be exposed?
Although his face was panicked, he still looked at Shen Ruogu with a calm smile and said, "What's wrong?" Shen Ruogu immediately shook his head and smiled slightly, it's nothing, it's just that he wants something to get into his mind.
Rong Xiao nodded, but Shen Ruogu didn't notice that Rong Xiao looked a little flustered, and he touched his cuffs the same, and finally returned to calm, and there was an awkward atmosphere between the two of them, but because no one had broken this layer of window paper, they just acquiesced.
Shen Ruogu didn't ignore the feelings just now, if his guess was right, Rong Xiao probably had some kind of special feelings for him, as for what it was, it was not convenient to say clearly.
Shen Ruogu had no choice but to eat the food on his plate, the two of them experienced this momentary awkward atmosphere, and the speed of eating was much faster, and soon the dinner was over, Wu Lin prepared a rest station for them, because Shen Ruogu came to the relationship, and the post station was surrounded by guards.
There were even a few people in the dark who specifically protected the safety of Shen Ruogu and his party, and early the next morning, Shen Ruogu got up, because it was getting closer and closer to the floods in the south of the Yangtze River predicted by the national teacher.
It is only about three or four days away, and the money sent by the emperor is estimated to arrive this afternoon, so Shen Ruogu will be worried early in the morning and get up early.
Shen Ruogu and Wu Lin did not call Wu Lin, but went to the river embankment alone to check around, Wu Lin had collected money from the people before and did nominal reinforcement, although it looked sturdy, but Shen Ruogu still frowned and looked carefully.
Finding that there was still some material missing, Shen Ruogu's eyes became sharp in an instant, and he silently wrote down an account for Wu Lin in his heart, and waited for Wu Lin to hurry over after receiving the news.
looked at Shen Ruogu with a smile and said, "My lord, why don't you take me with you?" In which area of Jiangnan is there besides me, who else is more familiar than me? Shen Ruogu pointed to the embankment and said, "The emperor's money will be delivered this afternoon, I hope you can use it on this." ”
Shen Ruogu's meaning was self-evident, Wu Lin nodded with a smile, and did not refuse in person, it seemed that this was an extremely normal thing, but Shen Ruogu didn't believe him, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but it was not easy to ask, so he stopped talking.
Looking around along the riverside towards other places, Wu Lin followed closely behind the two of them silently, except for a dark light flashing under his eyes, he looked like a qualified subordinate and still needed to look around after use, the waterfront was particularly wide.
If the levee is not stopped, the flood will rush ashore and flood the surrounding houses, and the worst thing is that these houses are very close to the other side of the river, but only a few meters or so, and if there are really no houses to live in, then these poor families may be submerged.
Moreover, the national teacher predicted that there would be a major flood in the south of the Yangtze River this time, so I'm afraid it's not so simple, Shen Ruogu looked around the house and found that there was actually a lake, and hurriedly looked at Wu Lin and asked, "How can there be a lake there?" ”
Wu Lin glanced at it casually, nodded, and looked at God with a look of course, if it was said that it was naturally for viewing Shen Ruogu squeezed his hand tightly, if it was the lake that flooded Chongqing...... "Where does the lake flow?" ”
"Water came in from the moat outside the city." Wu Lin said with a flat face, ignoring Shen Ruogu's unpredictable expression, Shen Ruogu squeezed his hand tightly and stared at Wu Lin, which was extremely complicated.
Rong Xiao looked at him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" "The lake flows into the moat, and the water rushing into the lake floods half the city." Rong Xiao was suddenly awakened by Shen Ruogu's words, and suddenly realized that he looked at the artificial lake, and his eyes instantly became a little sharp.
Now there is only one way to protect against such a major thing, and that is to strengthen the ground, Wu Lin looked at the two of them whispering and stood in place with an honest face, quietly glanced at the lake next to him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The lake was originally seen by him, when the lake was built, there were already craftsmen who said that the lake was not conducive to there, but who is he, he is the leader of Jiangnan man! The biggest official in Jiangnan!
Wu Lin said that the lake will be built wherever it is built, and the embankment is quietly cutting corners, and outsiders will never be able to see it, and there is no blueprint for building the embankment, so even if he Shen Ruogu has three eyes, he can't see it at all.
Even if the money was scavenged from the common people, it was only half used, and no one would have thought that his martial arts was the biggest winner behind these, and the money given by the emperor this afternoon was about to arrive.
When the time comes, he will first send his henchmen to swallow most of it, and then hand over the box of gold to the person who built the embankment in front of Shen Ruogu, Shen Ruogu will not know anything about him at this time, he is just a person who has been kept out of the way.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and Shen Ruoguo is still a woman, and she really can't afford this important position.
