Chapter 146: A Tour of South River City 7
Chen Ling and Ouyang Yu were slightly stunned when they heard about the disaster for the first time. Chen Ling frowned and said, "Sima Shulin really embezzled disaster relief money?" ”
"I don't know if it's true or not, it's just that the prefect of Nanhe City made people cut off the way from Xiahe City to this side." Xiao Lin continued, "Otherwise, how could the master and the young lady not see a single refugee? ”
Ouyang Yu continued to eat grapes, and only said: "Since there is no plague yet, it means that the prefect of Xiahe City has good control, and there is no need for this king to take action." Let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
Chen Ling thought about it carefully, it was true, didn't the eighth prince come to Nanhe this time to get rid of Sima Shulin and make the king lose confidence in the prince?
"I'd like to go to Downriver City." She said seriously.
Ouyang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with relief: "Let's talk about it in a few days." Now the eighth brother's people are fixed at the gate of the city to watch, just waiting for you to go out and throw yourself into the net. ”
She was a little puzzled: "Waiting for me? ”
He nodded: "First the Iron Cavalry followed, then someone revealed the news for the prefect to greet us, and then there were many strange arson cases...... If it weren't for the eighth brother's people, who would have investigated you and me, how could he happen to come to Nanhe City? The eight princes are not the only prefects. ”
Chen Ling thought about it carefully, although it was all speculation, it was reasonable and logical: "Okay, when his people are relaxed, I will slip away, so as not to be discovered." ”
"Okay."
As soon as he found a remote house, Chen Ling moved all his things in. Ju'er was about to follow Chen Ling, but was stopped by Chen Ling: "You follow him, you still need to take care of him here." ”
Except for oranges, no one will cook food, and Ouyang Yu is in the Sima family, where good and evil are inseparable, so it is safer to eat what he makes.
Ju'er nodded obediently: "Yes, take care of the master." ”
Ouyang Yu glanced at Xiao Lin: "You stay by Ling Er's side to protect her, and don't let her be hurt at all!" ”
"Subordinates obey." Xiao Lin hugged his fists, and then followed Chen Ling to the broken house. In fact, it is a small courtyard, two rooms, one room for Chen Ling, and the other room for Ouyang Ling's subordinates.
The next day, Chen Zhurong really arrived in Nanhe City as a messenger. Sima Shulin greeted him outside early, welcomed Chen Zhurong to the yafu, and made a gesture, his tone was full of respect: "The lower official has ordered someone to clean the royal post station, and the layout inside has been completely changed......"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhurong interrupted slowly: "This prince heard that Brother Seven Princes also came to Nanhe City? I don't know if it's true or not? ”
"The Seventh Prince has been in Nanhe City for nearly a month." Sima Shulin replied honestly, "With him is a handsome boy named Chen Ling. ”
Chen Zhurong's eyes narrowed: "Oh? The prince can live with the Seven Brothers. ”
He asked for this, and Sima Shulin didn't dare to disobey, so he had to lead the person to his private house and ask the housekeeper to hurry up and inform Ouyang Yu.
It's just that Ouyang Yu went out, and it will take a while to come back.
Ju'er came out to welcome people in, poured a cup of tea for Chen Zhurong, and was thoughtful. Chen Zhurong stared at her for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Why does this prince think you are a little familiar?"
Ju'er raised the corners of her mouth, tore off the beard that had been pasted on, and did not lower her voice, and said crisply: "The eighth prince, it's a slave." ”
Because she looks too thin and her voice is too sweet, she doesn't look too much like a man, but because of Ouyang Yu's identity, no one will debunk it.
At this time, she tore off her beard and showed a delicate face, but she could see that Sima Shulin's eyes were slightly straight, but they quickly retracted.
"It turned out to be you." Remembering that she was kicked out of Yu Mansion before Yu Lingling's death, so she was not sent to the guard, Chen Zhurong hooked the corners of his mouth, looked around again, and said, "I never thought that Lingling drove you away for your good...... What about Brother Seven and Gongzi Chen? ”
Speaking of Chen Ling, Ju'er lowered her head, but after a while, there were tears in her eyes, and she looked pitiful, Shi Li said: "I heard that there was a disaster in Xiahe City when I went out this morning, and Chen Gongzi was concerned about the victims, so he went out of the city gate to Xiahe City." The prince went to say goodbye and let the slaves and maids guard here. ”
As soon as Chen Zhurong heard this, he immediately got up: "This prince is also going to see him off." ”
At this moment, there was a sound of walking outside the door, followed by a deep voice, with a hint of laughter: "Eighth brother, why are you here?" On the way back, they were talking about your arrival. ”
Chen Zhurong shook his head and pulled the corners of his mouth: "The younger brother came on the orders of his father, firstly, to investigate the embezzlement of the silver taels for disaster relief, and secondly, to go to Xiahe City to personally investigate the details, and to settle the victims and solve the flood. This year's flooding came earlier than usual, and several dams have collapsed in Downriver City. The Ministry of Water Resources of the Ministry of Industry has already rushed to Xiahe City, and the younger brother first came here to investigate the situation of the disaster and the dredging of the blocked roads. As soon as I inquired, I heard that Brother Wang was also here, so I came to pay a visit. ”
Ouyang Yu nodded and asked him to sit down, and then he sat in the first place, and Ju'er stood behind him: "It's hard eighth brother." This king is just bored in Zheling and walks around. ”
"In that case, how about Brother Wang help his brother?" His brows furrowed, "This disaster area is serious, more than 3,000 people have died in Xiahe City, and my father attaches great importance to ......."
Ouyang lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Father won't want me to participate in it." I just need to be an idle prince and achieve nothing in my life. ”
"How could my father think that!" Chen Zhurong persuaded, "This time I went south, my father also warned my subordinates that if you have any difficulties, you can ask Brother Wang for advice. ”
Ouyang Yu blinked: "I have never dealt with the disaster area, and I was the prince in the past......"
Chen Zhurong frowned and interrupted: "The prince has misbehaved, and he has been suspicious of his father, so he will send me here." The people of the world are all royal people, and as a prince, you naturally have to focus on the people's livelihood, so why not work with me to treat the victims? ”
"Since the courtiers and brothers are warmly invited, this king agreed this time." As he spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth and said lightly, "If you have merit, it will be yours, and if you are guilty, the king will not be involved." ”
Chen Zhurong's eyes lit up: "Okay!" "This time the matter has already been arranged by him, how can it be useless! No one is competing with him for credit, he is the best!
Because Chen Zhurong insisted on living in a private house, Ju'er took him to Chen Ling's room: "This was originally Chen Gongzi's room, and the mattress has all been changed. ”
Chen Zhurong nodded with satisfaction, and after letting Ju'er go out, he turned the whole room upside down, but he couldn't find a trace of Chen Ling, and then shook his hair and said, "It's so good to clean up!" ”
He became even more curious about that Chen Ling, and went out to find Leng Feng the next day and asked him where Chen Ling was. Yesterday, Ouyang Yu sent a person out. Leng Feng also sent someone to follow him, but there was no result yet.
