Zhao Chen grinded his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Don't you have to inch in!" ”

Meng Yong was still in her ear and said with a smile: "How can you get an inch?" Didn't Madame just call it very well? ”

Zhao Chen squinted at him, feeling that he looked like a fox who had succeeded in his tricks, especially when he swept over her clothes.

"I think—" she pouted, "the bed has been a bit crowded lately, and you're going to have to make it all the way up—"

After speaking, he was about to enter the porridge shed with his wheeled cart.

Without the information he was informed, she still had other ways to investigate, and it was just a little risky...

Meng Yong laughingly grabbed her, gave instructions to his subordinates disguised as domestic servants, and pushed her to the cabin behind the shed.

"What did Madame just say? I didn't hear too clearly. He pressed her against the soft couch, trapped her and couldn't move, "It's not even happening, Madame is going to abandon the mess?" ”

The little man is like a puddle of water, and the thin skirt and light yarn are glowing with temperature, tempting him to involuntarily get closer and closer-

Zhao Chen kicked on his abdomen, froze the distance, and said hatefully: "This king feels very bad now, you'd better take care of yourself before this king changes out of this ragged clothes, otherwise..."

She squinted slightly, her eyes swept up and down against him, revealing some kind of dangerous intent unabashedly.

Since she put on women's clothes in front of him, she has been on high alert almost all the time, and she has no sense of security, which is close to rumors, not to mention that he is obviously being provoked and full of aggression at the moment.

Meng Yong smiled dumbly, gently pulled down her feet, leaned over to pick her up, and walked to the window sash.

Zhao Chen is like a fried hedgehog, after struggling to no avail, he is about to use his strength to knock him down by his shoulder.

"Don't move!" Meng Yong put her on the edge of the window and pushed the window open slightly, "Look, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Chen was full of discomfort and slapped his hand away, "It's better than you anywhere!" ”

"Well, take a closer look." Meng Yong coaxed good-naturedly.

Seeing that he didn't move his hands and feet again, Zhao Chen gradually calmed down, looked out along the crack in the window, and soon found the abnormality.

Xianju County, which is obviously the hardest hit by the disaster, can see more living people at this time than the surrounding counties-

"The reason why the third child came to Xianju County first is not only because this place is the hardest hit, but also because this place is the most special..."

"The water level swelled after the rainstorm, but it didn't cross the levee, and the so-called flooding was only in a few places near the river, and no one expected an earthquake at the time, so they didn't pay attention to the levee... Only Xianju County. ”

He paused, "To be precise, only Tao Sihai is the magistrate." ”

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, and suddenly understood something.

Meng Yong continued: "On the third day of the rainstorm, after evacuating the people near the river, he gathered the people of the whole county, persuaded them to pack up their belongings, settle in the nearby high places, and promised to open a warehouse to release grain after they were settled..."

"At that time, there were not many affected areas, and everyone was unimpressed, and even though he lobbied from house to house, no one wanted to leave... He still led people to transport grain to the mountains and collect medicinal herbs everywhere... Prepared for the catastrophe. ”

He lowered his eyes and smiled, "On the sixth day, the earthquake and the bursting of the levee... It turns out that he really seems to be able to predict the prophets—"

"Prophet of the Unknown?" Zhao Chen sneered, "Natural catastrophe, that Tao Zhixian is afraid that he has already discovered a man-made disaster!" ”

It is only when you find out that the embankment is cutting corners, that you will think that the embankment may collapse when the torrential rain does not stop for several days.

will also make all kinds of unreasonable actions in advance...

It is conceivable that if Tao Sihai hadn't made all kinds of preparations earlier, Xianju County would have become a dead place-

Meng Yong said: "When the disaster didn't come, he was considered to be overly nervous at most, but when the disaster really happened, what he did attracted people's attention... Especially for those who know it. ”

This disaster spread to half of the south of the Yangtze River, and common sense said that the first thing the third child should do was to destroy the evidence, appease the people, and strive not to make people suspicious of the embankment.

But after all, the dilapidated embankment is still there, and after a little inspection, the quality must not be hidden.

The only remaining choice for the third child is the thief to catch the thief and take the initiative to expose this corruption.

Find a substitute for the dead ghost, and then plant the big head to Jia Fu, the dead man, so that Shi Quan can be washed away from this case...

But now that there is a Tao Sihai, no one knows what he has noticed and what evidence he has, how can the third child allow such uncertain factors-

Zhao Chen thought for a while and asked, "Since you know so well, why don't you send someone to protect him?" Now listening to the meaning of that county Cheng, he is estimated to be dead, and it is useless to know what the inside story is. ”

Meng Yong shook his head and said, "I only learned about this last night, when Tao Sihai was already missing, and when I received the news this morning, the people sent out did not find him." ”

"From the beginning of the earthquake, he led people to block the breach, and then he ate and lived with the victims... I've sent people to inquire on both sides, and there should be news soon. He looked out the window.

Zhao Chen frowned and said: "He is a weak scholar, the possibility of surviving is too small, you can't pin your hope on him, you still have to try other ways——"

"Stop." Meng Yong interrupted her, "I'm not sure that Tao Sihai is really dead, all your desperate methods, I will obediently put them away, the safety of this trip is the most important!" ”

Sensing that it was a little harsh, he eased up, "Don't worry, even if Tao Sihai is really dead, what he has in his hands will not be on the corpse, I have other ways to find it." ”

Zhao Chen was still not used to waiting, twisted his eyebrows, and was about to refute him-

"The owner?" Someone was knocking outside.

Meng Yong opened the door and took the note, read it quickly, and ordered: "Continue to explore, every move must be reported!" ”

When his subordinates retreated, he said to Zhao Chen: "The third child went to the embankment early in the morning, and under the pretext of taking the Ministry of Engineering to inspect it, he secretly ordered people to search along the embankment... They have not found the body. ”

"According to the victims, Tao Sihai went out by himself last night, and he told them a lot of words before leaving..."

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows, "According to this meaning, falling into the water is likely to be a planned way to get out?" "If that's the case, then he might have more in his hands than we thought—"

The imperial court personally sent the prince to provide disaster relief, but Tao Sihai designed to get out that night, which undoubtedly means that he doesn't believe in the third child...

"No matter how good the water is, it is impossible for him to go all the way out of the county along the torrent, and the places have long been blocked, he should not have escaped from Xianju County..."Meng Yong said softly.

Zhao Chen's mind was not on Tao Sihai at all, and he asked instead: "Didn't you say that there is another way to find something?" ”

Meng Yong thought about it, and was about to say something, when there was a knock on the door again, and the servant just now went and returned, and brought them a not very good news-

The third child is here with people!
