The big water in Linzhou is definitely not as easy as it seems.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for that cheap daddy to send her here, there must be some secret hidden in this.

But where is this secret?

If she doesn't take care of the water, you can imagine what the consequences will be for her.

But even if it is well governed, it may not be much praise for her.

The rain in the night suddenly became heavier, and the raindrops crackled on the tiles, disturbing the dreams of many people.

How many more homeless victims lost their lives tonight?

Ye Qianye wrapped up a dress, pushed open the window, and looked at the pouring rain outside, the maid had already fallen asleep at this time.

The weight on her body weighed on her, and she couldn't fall asleep at all.

The rain was slow and slow, and it was as if there was no end in sight.

Until dawn, the rain seemed to be lighter, but the water outside the city not only did not show signs of receding, but spread even higher, and even the official road seemed to be about to be flooded.

If you go on like this, it will be a matter of minutes for the city to get water.

The county master only felt that the black gauze hat on his head was about to be taken off, and at this time, he couldn't care whether it was good or bad, so he could only report the disaster truthfully.

The more Ye Qianye listened, the more frowning he became, more and more people poured into the city, and if this continued, I am afraid that there would be no space in the city to accommodate these people.

"How far is it to the nearest city?"

"It's not far away, but the road is almost completely flooded, and if you forcibly let these people move to a place, it will have a bad impact, and maybe it will cause a ......."

It wasn't that he didn't try to close the city gates at the beginning, but there were too many people in the disaster, and the forced closure led to more fierce resistance from them, and some even said that they would sue the emperor.

He is a seven-grade petty official, if there are really so many victims suing the emperor, he will lose his black gauze hat at the lightest, and lose his head at the worst.

"When did Prince Ben say that he would drive these victims away, in short, let them have a place to stay, it's not a matter to always gather on the streets, and then open a few designated medical points, so that the doctors can sit for consultation, so as not to have an epidemic, and all the relevant expenses will be taken from the treasury."

"Yes, the lower official will arrange it."

"Find someone to gather all the wealthier landlords in the city, outsiders and the like, and this prince will have a meeting." Disaster relief is not enough to rely on the county government alone, and these local tyrants sometimes have more things in their hands than the county government.

His Royal Highness the Prince's edict, these local tyrants have to come even if they don't want to come.

It's just that all of them are crying poor.

This one said that all the thousands of acres of fertile land at home had been destroyed, and there was not enough food for his own family, and the other said that he did not grow grain last year, and only bought a few hundred acres of land this year, and he had not yet caught up with the harvest.

These local tyrants are full of brains, and they can't see that there is not enough food to eat.

"Rest assured, this prince will never let you contribute for free, how about buying the grain in your hands at twice the market price?"

"Your Highness, if there was really so much grain in the hands of the grass people, it would have been sold a long time ago, why wait until now, it's not a matter of money, it's that everyone is seriously affected now, and there is no surplus food."

"Triple as much."

"This ......," several people looked at each other, "Your Highness, this, the family needs to eat food." ”

"It's impossible to think about it no matter how high it is, if it costs more than three times the price, then the prince might as well go to other cities to buy grain for disaster relief."

Hearing the triple price, many people are tempted, the price of grain is already very high in extraordinary times, plus three times, this is definitely a sure profit.

Like they all have a large amount of grain in their hands, even if they eat it for a few years, it is not a problem.

"Since His Highness is so sincere, let's go back and discuss it again."

Ye Qianye directly took the contract down, "After this village, there will be no such shop." ”

"Alright! Your Highness is so refreshing, then let's not talk nonsense! ”

Several local tyrants signed their names and finally bought grain from them at three times the market price.

"You guys bring out the disaster relief money so that you can count it in person."

"Yes!"

The guards took out all the relief silver boxes in the treasury and placed them in the main hall one by one.

A full 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver, containing twenty boxes of all sizes, Ye Qianye personally opened one of the silver boxes.

It's just that what appeared inside scared her so much that she didn't know how to react, and she was stunned on the spot.

What the hell is this?

What about her disaster relief money?

Night Chiba pulled hard for a while, but there was no trace of silver in it except for stones.

Everyone panicked, especially the guards who transported the disaster relief silver, and even knelt down on the spot, "Your Highness! It's not the subordinates who did it! ”

Sure enough, it's really greasy!

That's where it is!

Ye Qianye opened these silver boxes with a cold face, and twenty boxes of disaster relief silver became twenty boxes of stones in a blink of an eye, no wonder I didn't find them all the way, and I didn't think about waiting for now.

Those local tyrants also looked at each other, no one spoke, and watched this scene quietly.

The air was condensed, and everyone didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere.

Ye Qianye stretched out his foot and kicked these boxes open, and couldn't help laughing, "Get out of the way for Prince Ben!" ”

All of a sudden, they were gone.

With only twenty boxes of stones left to keep company, she felt weak and sat down on the ground with her legs outstretched.

What prince to be?

If the prince had to encounter this kind of thing, she would rather she be a rice worm who couldn't do anything.

From the very beginning, maybe this is a game with no return, and it is not a trivial matter that 100,000 taels of silver are missing.

She originally wanted to do this well, but there were always people in front of her who didn't want her to do it well.

Let her watch these victims die here, she can't do it, but let her conjure up 100,000 taels of silver again, how can she conjure it up?

With no one to talk to, she suddenly felt too isolated.

How can people who are far away in the capital know what happened to her now?

No one outside dared to come in, and the news that 100,000 disaster relief silver had turned into 20 boxes of stones spread quickly, and the city became lively at once, and the originally peaceful victims were all uplifted at once.

If you are bold, if it weren't for the guards to stop you, I'm afraid you would have already broken into the county office!

Ye Qianye is in a hurry, and now the best way is to go back again, but how should she explain when she goes back?

100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount.

Due to the situation, she had to leave secretly, and it took four days to rush back to the capital.

As soon as she got off the horse, she was taken down by the forbidden army and escorted directly into the palace.

The ministers looked like they had expected her, and then criticized her for how unreliable.

One person didn't give her a chance to defend herself.

Ye Qianye couldn't help but interrupt these people's, "Erchen can guarantee that Erchen has never done anything to embezzle silver!" ”

"Since His Highness said so, what about the silver?"

"It seems that everything that falls into the hands of the prince will run away with long legs!"

"Your Majesty, the crown prince sees the disaster relief incident as such a child's play, it is simply a disregard for the people of the world! I hope the emperor will think twice! "The prime minister was the first to take the lead.

The ministers knelt down one after another and shouted: "Think twice! ”

"Enough! I have said that the prince is the prince, and there will be no second person who will ascend the throne of the prince! Ye Yubin's attitude is even more chilling.

Sure enough, the prime minister looked distressed, "Your Majesty, even if you ask the old minister to return to his hometown, the old minister still has to say that the prince is immoral and incompetent, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility!" ”

"Zuo Aiqing, I remember that you have contributed to the country for many years, and I will not do anything to you, but I have already made up my mind about this matter, as for the disappearance of the disaster relief silver, I will allocate another 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury to send it, and I can't delay the time for disaster relief."

"Your Majesty! This matter must not be handed over to the prince again! ”

"Okay, I don't want to say it a third time, let's do it, when no one makes a mistake, the prince is still young, and he should experience more."

After getting the silver, Ye Qianye checked it around first, and then secretly made a mark, and then set off in a mighty way.

The third prince was simply angry with a mouthful of old blood.

No matter what he does, no matter how strict he is with himself, even if he puts forward any constructive suggestions, he can't compare to this straw bale prince?

He looked out the window hatefully, "Queen Mother, what do you say is in the heart of the emperor?" ”

He doesn't understand, where is he not as good as that straw bale prince?

"Emperor, what you do is in the eyes of your father and the emperor, as long as you wait patiently, don't care so much." The queen looked at her son lovingly, "This throne will definitely not belong to the straw bale prince." ”

"But the ministers all admonished the father to abolish the crown prince, but the father was still unmoved, obviously lost 100,000 taels of silver, but he didn't say a word and directly asked the prince to bring 100,000 taels again, the queen mother, the son was not convinced!"

"Okay, can you talk nonsense casually, your father has your father's decision, you can't talk nonsense in front of your father." The queen stepped forward and patted her son on the shoulder, "You must cultivate your own power now, if one day he really sits on the throne, you will have enough strength to regain what belongs to you, not to mention that the eyes of the ministers are bright, can't you see who is the heir to the unification?" ”

"We must not be in a hurry about this."

Ye Yifeng's eyes sank, his hand tightened the door frame, looking at a clear sky, if the prince died in Linzhou, would he be able to sit on the throne of the prince smoothly?

No one knew what he really thought, not even his real mother.

In Linzhou, 100,000 silver was successfully delivered, food was bought to help the victims, and he actively participated in the prevention and control of the epidemic.

Ten days later, the rain stopped, the water receded, and people were organized to rebuild the houses.

After the surrounding area was dealt with, a month had passed, and Ye Chiba had returned to the capital.

After entering Beijing, the imaginary voice did not appear, it should be so ordinary, and the things she did in Linzhou did not reach the capital at all.

Night Chiba was still a little disappointed, and finally did a good deed, but I didn't expect that there was no splash at all.

She didn't go anywhere, and went straight back to the prince's mansion to sleep well.

When I woke up, it was dark.

Ye Qianye looked at the dishes on the table, and suddenly lost his appetite at all, "Chunshui, in the future, the prince only needs two dishes and one soup, and the rest will be forgotten." ”

In fact, she eats alone, even if it is a dish, it is very good.

She couldn't eat a few bites of the dishes on the table, and some of the dishes didn't even move.

"The master went to Linzhou, and the whole person changed." Chunshui said while serving Ye Chiba to eat.

"Where has changed?"

"Everything has changed, even people have become thinner and darker, and they look better than before."

"Huh, huh?"

Hearing such a compliment, Ye Chiba became depressed.

How can a girl be praised for being thin and black, no matter what era it is, women are beautiful with white, and now she plays a male role, naturally black spots, thin points, only to appear energetic.

"That is, if the master used to look a little oily, now he is really on par with the evil king."

"Hehe......"

The more she said that she couldn't eat this meal, why should she look like an evil king?

Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty.

She can't shut up Chunshui, but any man should like others to praise him for his good looks.

Before the meal was finished, Chu Mojue arrived on time.

I haven't seen you for many days, and I still miss it a little.

The others sat down directly, asked the maids to all go down, and waited for Zuo Guang before he asked, "How?" ”

"What else, that's it." Ye Qianye took a sip of old wine depressedly, "I don't know who hurt me." ”

The 100,000 taels of silver were a thorn in her heart.

If she hadn't found out who had done this, she would have been able to sleep well.

The loss of the disaster silver is untraceable, and I don't know who did it so neatly and without leaving any traces.

The silver box was taken out of the treasury, and she couldn't enter the treasury to investigate the case.

Especially under Ye Yubin's intentional or unintentional obstruction, this matter is over.

Even if she did a great deed for the benefit of the people for Linzhou, she didn't win any reputation, not to mention, these ministers were like ghosts when they saw her, and they retreated.

What kind of plane is there, can the loss of money be completely blamed on her?

But even if she vouched for nothing with her personality, these people probably wouldn't bother with her.

Coupled with Ye Yubin's words, no matter how you listen to it, it makes people feel awkward, what does it mean that the prince has completed the task, and he will not be guilty if he makes a small mistake, right?

What did she do wrong?

In other words, it was completely thrown on her to atone for her sins.

But Ye Yubin obviously didn't give her a chance to explain, and directly moved the topic to something else.

When the court meeting was dispersed, Ye Yifeng sneered at her extremely provocatively, and then walked away.

Next Olympics! This is already so good before becoming a prince, if you really become a prince in the future, you won't just cut her with a knife.

The more Night Qianye thought about it, the more stuffy she became, what does this mean, treat her as a qiang, right?

It's also to blame her, she didn't pay attention to what was in the cash box when she took the silver away, and if she had taken a look in advance, maybe this situation would not have happened.

"Chu Mojue, does this prince look like a bully?"

"Well," Chu Mojue patted her head, "a little." ”

"Go, go, I don't want to talk to you." Ye Qianye walked forward quickly, and the courtiers were knocked aside by her before they could avoid it.

For the sake of her being the prince, none of these people have a seizure, but they have secretly thought that they will draft a recital when they go back later, and then participate in another book!
