When the man walked out, there were refugees all around him, but he was stopped a few feet away by a few trappers, and the man hurriedly stepped forward, "Lord Inspector." ”

Liu Qi nodded, helped Chu Nian off the horse, and then turned his eyes to look at the man, "Are you the prefect here, Lord Liu?" ”

The man said with a sad face: "Lord Hui, now Lord Liu is sick in bed and it is inconvenient to come to greet him, and the next official is the prefect of Bianxian County." ”

Chu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, she smiled harmlessly and said, "Since this is the case, we will go to visit the prefect, but this trip was rushed and did not prepare a big gift, and I hope the prefect will forgive me." ”

Saying that, she lifted her steps to bypass the mansion, and walked unceremoniously towards the inner courtyard, Liu Qi also followed, and then, the mansion whispered something to the catcher on the side, and saw that the catcher ran all the way over the wall into the courtyard, and the mansion turned around, but looked at the refugees in the courtyard with a look of annoyance, and waved his sleeves and said: "Send someone to block the door, don't let them in, the trouble is dead." ”

Chu Nian and Liu Qi stepped into the door, compared to the barren and barren outside the courtyard, the courtyard is a sign of prosperity, don't say anything about the rockery pond, there are a few jumping chickens in the yard, the refugees outside can't even eat, this Bianxian prefect will enjoy it. The two of them entered the door again, only to see a middle-aged man lying on the couch, who was lying on the couch and sighed weakly.

Liu Qi's gaze turned to Chu Nian, "It turns out that the prefect of Bianxian County is really sick?" ”

Hearing this, the person on the couch turned his head with great effort, and faced Chu Nian and Liu Qi with a fat face, "The two inspectors have come to visit, and the lower officials have lost their welcome, but the lower officials are just the body...... I hope you will forgive me. ”

The prefect's eyes narrowed weakly, but he secretly looked at the two young people standing on his side, the older young man looked magnificent, but he didn't look like a big official, and the younger one, although he was dressed in men's clothes, he could also see that he was a woman.

Hmph, he thought that the imperial court really knew about the disaster situation here, and specially sent two big people to come here to raid and investigate, but he didn't expect it to be such two young people, it seems that the imperial court doesn't attach much importance to the disaster situation here! These two tender radishes, just whip them at will!

Chu Nian looked at the light in the prefect's eyes, and smiled kindly: "It's that I don't know that the prefect is seriously ill, and it seems that he was disturbed, but why are those people outside staying here?" General Liu and I passed by, but they stopped us, so I had no choice but to come over to disturb the adults. ”

Looking at Chu Nian's harmless smile, the prefect didn't look at the two of them more and more, and just pretended to be out of breath when he said a word: "Those Diao people are lazy on weekdays, and when they have no money, they come to ask the lower officials for a pension, how can the lower officials give it?" I had to stop them at the door, but I didn't expect them to make a fuss at the door, no, three days passed, just waiting at the door, and I blamed the lower officials for being kind when they first took office, and they gave it without thinking about it, and later learned that it was because they didn't go out to work to make money, but the lower officials contributed to such an atmosphere, everyone knew that as long as there was no money, they would come to the prefect, and the prefect would naturally give money. ”

The prefect said that he was extremely tall, and his eyes were full of complacency, Chu Nian raised his eyebrows without a trace, and he didn't think that he was quite able to make up, but she naturally didn't want to listen to his set of lies, so she just nodded and cooperated: "That's really hard work, we came out on this trip and brought some good guards, I don't know if we need our help to suppress it?" ”

The prefect's eyes lit up, and sure enough, the young people were easy to deceive, since they wanted to contribute, they asked them to contribute, and it happened that because he had been calling sick, he had not yet come to suppress the affairs of those refugees, and since they had helped, he was happy to be idle.

The more the prefect thought about it, the more proud he became, and said with a smile: "That's really hard work for the two adults." ”

Chu Nian waved his hand, "Lord Prefect is so good to recuperate. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Liu Qi, who was frowning on the side, and took the lead in walking out of the door.

Out of the gate of the prefect's mansion, Chu Nian turned his gaze to the refugees, "Where do you live on weekdays?" ”

When the refugees saw Chu Nian as if they had seen a savior, they gathered around Chu Nian one after another, and one by one they fell to the ground, and one of them replied boldly: "Back to the adult, the grass people live here on weekdays, eat and sleep in the open, and the grass people's homes have been washed away by the flood, and there is nowhere to ......."

It was a young man who spoke, and he choked up before the words fell, and as soon as these words came out, the big and small ones kneeling on the side of the young man had already cried together, and then, the crying spread like a plague, and suddenly, the entire prefect's compound was crying.

Chu Nian turned his eyes to look at Liu Qi, "Please General Liu go with these people to see if their houses can still be repaired, I still have some things to deal with." ”

Faced with such a scene, Liu Qi couldn't help frowning, he didn't doubt him, nodded solemnly, and left with a group of guards.

Chu Nian looked at the four secret guards who were left behind and pretended to be guards, and whispered: "Who's light work is good, hurry up and go to the southwest to ...... Chu My father brought it, and then brought a hundred taels of silver, so I didn't have to explain so much to him, and I could tie it up. ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Dark Three eager to retreat, turned around and disappeared into the wall.

Chu Nian chased after Liu Qi with a few secret guards, and took the two to the original residence of the refugees, only to find out how serious the disaster was.

The accident is only a small village in Bianxian County, this village has survived on a wide river for generations, because the village is often destroyed because of flooding, a while ago the imperial court just allocated a sum of silver to build a dam, but three days ago it rained a torrential rain, the rain washed away the newly built embankment, the villagers originally felt that the embankment was very relieved, unprepared, as a result of the destruction of the village in one fell swoop, many villagers in this flood wives separated.

Because this village is the only one in Bianxian County, other villages have been spared, but the villagers have gone to the prefect to make trouble many times because of the disaster, and the prefect is closed.

Looking at the messy village, Chu Nian's heart was moved, and he turned his eyes to look at Liu Qidao: "General Liu, does this place belong to the Southwest Territory?" ”

Liu Qi nodded thoughtfully, seeing that Chu Nian opened his mouth but didn't say anything, he said as if he had reacted to something: "The disaster is serious, I'm afraid it will take at least five days before I have the opportunity to report to the imperial court." ”

Seeing him like this, Chu Nian nodded gratefully and said, "General Liu's kindness, the little girl will definitely remember it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qiluo waved his hand, but a smile flashed in his eyes, "However, the disaster is so serious now, if you don't report it, how do you plan to deal with it?" ”

Chu Nian stood with his hands in his hands, frowned, and looked at the river in the distance that had widened many times due to the flood: "First stop the source of the disaster, pass the order, and set up a grass hut for the villagers on the high ground for rest, and then pick some strong laborers from the village to come out and repair the river embankment." ”

The guards on the side answered, and turned to leave.

When the words fell, Chu Nianren had already walked towards the high ground, and when Liu Qi saw it, he was puzzled: "Sanniang, what are you going to do?" ”

Chu Nian looked back and smiled lightly: "If General Liu is fine, go and see them build the embankment, then the prefect cut corners when building the embankment, if you need two silver taels, please ask General Liu to pay in advance, bring the Marquis of Zhenning to arrive, and then return it all." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi looked at Chu Nian's back intently, but after a while, he smiled helplessly, she really had a true temperament, and she even had to do such things herself. After a while, Liu Qi's gaze drifted into the distance, and he walked towards the river embankment.

When Chu Hezhou arrived, it was already the second day and night, he was tied up and thrown in Chu Nian's tent, he was still full of horror, and Dark San took out a few hundred taels of silver tickets from the treasury of Chu Hezhou from his arms and slapped them on the table, and saw Chu Nian coming in from outside.

When Chu Hezhou saw Chu Nian, his face was stunned, "Sanniang? Why are you here? His gaze fell on the coarse linen clothes on Chu Nian's body, and he frowned again, "What kind of style does a girl wear like this when she goes out?" ”

He wasn't distressed, but he was afraid that the people of the Chen family would see Chu Nian dressed like this and cut him again, but then he breathed a sigh of relief as if he understood something, the man tied him up and walked for only a day, so he wouldn't arrive in Kyoto so soon, where did the Chen family come from?

"Father." Chu Nian responded with a light smile, and turned his eyes to untie the hemp rope on Chu Hezhou's body, "The situation is really urgent, so my daughter made this decision, I hope my father will not blame." ”

Chu Hezhou also realized at this time that he was tied up by his own daughter, although he was curious about when such a strong martial artist appeared next to his daughter, but what made him even more curious was the reason why Chu Nian was so popular.

Seeing Chu Hezhou's gloomy face, Chu Nian understood what he was thinking, stepped to the table and poured a cup of warm tea for Chu Hezhou, before he said, "Father has already received the news, right?" Kyochu sent an inspector to monitor his father. ”

Chu Hezhou didn't take the tea in her hand, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, of course I know, the inspector ...... It's you? ”

Halfway through the words, Chu Hezhou's face suddenly looked surprised, but Chu Nian still drowning in his eyes, "If my father knows the seriousness of this matter, he should listen to his daughter at this moment, and my daughter already understands the situation in the southwest, if General Liu, who is accompanying you, knows, I am afraid that my daughter will not be able to keep my father, and this is the only chance for my father to turn over." ”

Chu Hezhou did those bad things in the southwest, Chu Nian sent someone to check before he went out, he was the dominant family in the southwest, so that all officials could only listen to him, and even the people below were not allowed to resist, this time someone reported that it was because Chu Hezhou drank too much wine and made a fuss in the Qinglou and kidnapped the Oiran, not to mention that the court knew that he would not be able to make a fuss in the Qinglou, and this matter would also lose the face of Zhenninghou, and Chuhezhou did not want this matter to be spread, so he sent someone to chase after the person who reported it overnight, but he still did not catch up.

Hearing Chu Nian's words, Chu Hezhou's eyes rolled in their sockets before he said, "What a chance." ”

Chu Nian smiled lightly, "Now that this village on the southwest edge has been flooded, and the prefect of Bianxian County has concealed it and not reported it, if my father quietly settles down this matter, won't the charges be cleared?" ”
