Chu Hezhou is not a fool, he thought about Chu Nian's plan in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly nodded with his father's shelf: "This is a good note." ”

Chu Nian smiled slightly, turned his eyes to look out the window, "It's getting late, my father will stay here tonight, and when I get up early tomorrow morning, I will announce to the public that my father has come to relieve the disaster, and ask my father to cooperate." ”

Because he was away all the year round, Chu Hezhou didn't know much about this daughter who didn't even pay attention to himself, so he just glanced at Chu Nian inquiringly, and nodded.

In the early morning of the next day, because although the disaster area was still full of devastation, it already had some signs of prosperity, because of the arrival of the patrol envoy, the victims who had lost their homes regained their confidence, and they were grateful to Chu Nian who deigned to help them work in person, and the next day these people finally inquired about the identities of Chu Nian and Liu Qi, and learned that one was the unparalleled county lord of the capital, and the other was General Liu, the secretary of the military department, the victims also admired the two more and more.

Chu Nian organized the victims to go down to the river to catch fish, and the fish they caught were enough to make soup or barbecue, but they were enough to fill their stomachs, and after breakfast in the morning, everyone gathered in front of Chu Nian's camp tent, the reason was because Chu Nian had someone to introduce to them.

"This is Chu Hezhou, the Marquis of Zhenning, who heard about our disaster and came to relieve the disaster, because the disaster relief funds from the imperial court have not yet been allocated, and the Hou Ye has already paid out of his own pocket to repair the river embankment for us." The words fell, and looking at the people who were looking at each other, Chu Nian turned sideways and let Chu Hezhou's figure out.

Seeing the hundreds of victims underground, Chuhe Prefecture seemed to be a little inflated, only to see him cough dryly, and said: "Everyone rest assured, with Benhou here, we will definitely not let everyone continue to suffer, about the prefect of Bianxian County's negligence, this king has been on the court, and when the inspection envoy returns to Beijing, he will naturally give everyone an explanation!" ”

Chu Hezhou's words were impassioned, and even the emotions of the people below were stirred, and after a while, there was a burst of cheers from the people.

"Good! Zhenninghou is here! We are saved! ”

"Master Hou Chitose!"

Liu Qiwang on the side saw Chu Nian looking at the people with a smile, his eyes were slightly condensed, and after a while, he figured out the whole story, and sighed that this woman was really a strange person, and she could come up with a way to ask Zhenning Hou to make up for it, but he was used by her this time, why didn't he have a trace of resentment in his heart?

After a while, Liu Qi twisted his brows and turned to leave.

On the third day of Zhenninghou's arrival, the prefect received the news, and at this time, he couldn't care about pretending to be sick on the couch, so he hurriedly came to the disaster area neatly dressed and pretended to be sick with Chuhe Prefecture.

When he arrived at the camp tent where Chu Hezhou lived, the prefect's prepared full stomach speech was blocked outside the door, he was full of anger, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Chu Nian coming out of the camp in Chu Hezhou, and saw the basin of water in her hand, the prefect was stunned, and when he secretly speculated about the relationship between Chu Nian and Chu Hezhou, the words also blurted out.

"Inspector Envoy! Please help the subordinate to have a conversation with Hou Ye, and say that Liu Mowei, the prefect of Bianxian County, wants to see Hou Ye. ”

But he saw Chu Nian looking at him with a smile and said, "What is Lord Liu's request to see Master Hou?" ”

The prefect looked a little embarrassed, "You know, because of the illness of the lower official...... Ahem, if the disaster relief is delayed, I have to explain it to the Hou Ye, otherwise, if the court knows about it, I am afraid that I will blame it...... This ......"

Chu Nian's eyes flashed, "Lord Liu means that the disaster should not be reported?" What about disaster relief funds? ”

Liu Mowei took out a few silver tickets from his arms very well, estimated them to be dozens of taels, and carefully stuffed them into Chu Nian's arms, "This is what the lower officials have saved over the years, if they can be used, it will also be counted as how much effort the lower officials have made." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, he embezzled so much money to repair the river embankment, and only took out such a little silver? The disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court to Bianxian County was originally given at the price of lime and tung oil to build a building, but there were only some gravel blocks in the collapsed embankment.

Seeing Chu Nian's suspicious face, Liu Mowei's eyes sank, but he also measured in his heart that the young man was always arrogant, in the end, the other party was still the inspector appointed by the imperial court, if he really said something to anger the inspector, she was not allowed to ask someone to poke the matter out? When the time comes, the only backstage he has in the court is just his brother-in-law Wang Qing, how could Wang Qing ask the Wang family for help in such a big matter? Then the court will not blow him up on fried skewers?

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Mowei raised a flattering smile again, gritted his teeth and stuffed all the silver tickets in his arms into Chu Nian's hand, "Lord Inspector, look at this ......"

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, "You want to see Zhenning Hou?" ”

Liu Mowei nodded hurriedly.

"But my father has already taken a lunch break, so why don't you come back another day." After saying that, Chu Nian put all the silver tickets into his arms, "Lord Liu's kindness, the little girl will explain it to her father." ”

Seeing the ridicule on Chu Nian's eyebrows, Liu Mowei realized that he had made a big mistake, he shouldn't have made a mistake by looking at the young man in front of him, what did she call Zhenninghou just now? Father? She is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenning? What is the daughter of Zhenning Hou coming to do as an inspector? Wait a minute...... Doesn't the Chu family have a peerless county lord? The ...... in front of you

Liu Mowei's face was suddenly dyed with a trace of pig liver, "The county lord forgives his sins, he is a small one with eyes and no beads......

Nonsense, can he not be afraid? The name of the unequaled county lord, even if he is not in the capital, there is no reason why he doesn't know! Who took off the former hussar general Roach? Isn't it the woman in front of you who looks natural and harmless! He still doesn't take others in his eyes, and he pretends to be sick and stuffs money, can't people see it? After doing it for a long time, the unequaled county lord knew everything, but he just pretended not to know and coaxed him around! He thought he could play with others in the palm of his hand, who was he playing? The Luo family was all destroyed by this woman, is he still a little Bianxian prefect?

Liu Mowei's face was pale for a while, but he still had a little luck and said: "This is all small money, the county lord doesn't have to take it to heart, if you have any needs, tell the lower officials." ”

At this time, a guard on the side rushed over, and without looking at Liu Mowei, he sent the edict in his hand to Chu Nian's hand.

Chu Nian frowned and looked at the edict, and after a while, she raised her head and smiled at Liu Mowei.

Liu Mowei was so frightened by this smile that he almost peed his pants, and quickly knelt on the ground, and heard a female voice coming from the top of his head.

"The disaster in Bianxian County is serious, but the prefect Liu Mowei did not report it, which is really a crime of defrauding the king, and he was specially dismissed from his post and copied his embezzled family property to comfort the people.

Liu Mowei knelt on the ground and trembled, she had already reported the matter, why did she pretend not to know just now? Just to let him spit out that disaster relief money? This woman's scheming is truly vicious...... But what's the use of thinking about it now? It's just a concealment and not a report, and it goes straight to the house! Don't even give him a chance to ask for help!

After reading out the holy decree, Chu Nian smiled at Liu Mowei, who was pale, and then turned around and entered the camp, and the guards drove Liu Mowei up, and Liu Mowei shouted as if he had reacted: "County lord!" Master Hou! Help the subordinates! The lower officials must not be ungrateful! Xiaguan ......"

Halfway through his words, he saw the coldness in Chu Nian's watery eyes, and suddenly stopped, and an ethereal female voice floated not far away: "Those who are not honest officials should be punished." ”

……

A few days later, someone among the victims suddenly fell ill, and the local barefoot doctors came to check it and shook their heads and said that they couldn't see this evidence, Chu Nian had to ask Chu Hezhou to send a letter to the imperial court to talk about the matter, and the imperial court sent a few imperial doctors over, but the imperial doctors said that the disease was a cold.

The imperial doctor left a few pieces of medicine to facilitate his return, but none of the villagers who took the medicine were cured, and the next day at night, one villager ulcerated and died. At this time, Chu Nian realized something, and hurriedly sent the secret guard back to bring Ah Wu back.

In the early morning of the next day, the dusty aunt had already arrived, and just after drinking a sip of water, the aunt hurriedly rushed to the disaster relief camp.

Seeing that her face was not good, Chu Nian also had a bad premonition in his heart, "What kind of disease is this?" ”

Auntie frowned and didn't speak, and at this time, a woman not far away stumbled over with a child in her arms, "Lord Medic, Lord County!" Please look at my child first! ”

Chu Nian frowned and took the child, at this moment the little doll was sleeping soundly, but her face was pale, and there were already a few ulcers on her neck, and he was held in Chu Nian's arms, and his little body moved uneasily.

But she didn't want to, Ah Wu saw that the child's symptoms suddenly changed her face, and she hurriedly snatched the child from Chu Nian's arms, "Lady stay away, it's enough for me here." ”

Chu Nian frowned, and the wings of his nose were still filled with the unpleasant smell coming from the child, "What's the matter?" ”

Ah Wu put the child on the straw mat and pounded the medicine with her hands: "If I remember correctly, the ancestral medical skills of the Wu family have recorded this certificate, which belongs to a kind of plague, and there was an outbreak when the ancestor was the imperial doctor, when the scale of the plague was almost completely wiped out by the previous dynasty, or the ancestors studied the prescription in time to save the people." ”

Chu Nian frowned, it was mentioned in the history books that there was a plague in the previous dynasty, and that plague could not be avoided even by the royal family, and the lives were devastated, with countless deaths and injuries.

However, Ah Wu didn't seem to be anxious, thinking that her ancestral medical book had this prescription.

Looking at the busy back of the grandmother, Chu Niancai said: "What do you need, tell me, don't worry, the top priority is to control the epidemic first." ”

"Lord County!" Another woman hurried in crying, "My husband has fallen, please ask the doctor to help take a look!" He's not breathing now! ”

The aunt had to put down the child and leave with the woman instead, Chu Nian looked at the child lying on the ground and was dying, and frowned without a trace, and after a while, she turned around as if she remembered something and said, "Come on, go and inform General Liu not to bring people close to the riverbank!" Villagers are not allowed to touch the water source! Count the number of infected people! ”

The guard hurried away, and at this time, Chu Hezhou came out of his tent, seeing Chu Nian's anxious appearance, he rubbed his eyes and said, "Nian'er, what's wrong?" ”

After a few days of getting along, Chu Hezhou finally realized how wrong it was for him to ignore Chu Nian's daughter, and now he was able to turn over because of this scheming daughter.
