Chapter 187: The Fault of Construction

"It's very simple, as long as you die, won't the problem be solved? The prince's goal has been achieved, so naturally he will not embarrass your sister. And you died happily, and you were a little less afraid. How nice! ”

"Alright, don't scare her!" Rong Yunxi really can't stand it!

King Chen is really, he can clearly see that Qingluo can't help but be frightened, why are you still saying these intimidating words? Isn't that iniquity?

"Your Highness...... People say that it is better to die than to live, although the slave family is humble, but they are still reluctant to live in this colorful world...... Ask Your Highness to save the slave family! Your Highness is resourceful and will definitely be able to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. Ask Your Highness to save the slave family, save the sister of the slave family......"

"There's no way...... King Chen said, "Anyway, between you and your sister, you can only live one." Either this king will send someone to kill your sister, and you will follow this king without any worries in the future, and you don't have to worry about the things handed over to you by the prince. Either this king will kill you directly, lest the eldest brother do it. As soon as he is happy, he will definitely treat your sister well. ”

After Wang Chen finished speaking, he stretched his waist and waited for her answer with a leisurely face, not in a hurry at all.

Quack, quack......

In the room, it was so quiet that only the sound of eating melon seeds remained.

Rong Yunxi saw King Chen's intentions, he was testing Qingluo to see if she was willing to give up her life or her sister's life. But what is the point of such temptation? Unless King Chen really wants to take Qingluo into the mansion, instead of using any other way to resolve the prince's boring but extremely lethal calculations.

"Is there really no way to keep both of us alive?" didn't let King Chen wait long, just a few breaths, Qingluo asked weakly.

"Nope."

"If I die, can Your Highness guarantee that my sister will be alive? Will His Highness save her? ”

"Of course, this king has always been true to his word." King Chen.

Rong Yunxi pursed her lips and disagreed.

"Okay, slave believes in Your Highness. Your Highness can do it. Qingluo said, straightened her waist, and resolutely closed her eyes, without the slightest hesitation.

Inside the house, it was still very quiet, but there was no sound of eating melon seeds.

"Haha......" King Chen suddenly laughed and said, "Qingluo, just now the princess said that you are a brain, hey...... What a look at you! Tell me, what good will this king gain by killing you? Killing you, isn't this king helping my eldest brother harm myself? Is this king so stupid? ”

Suddenly, hearing King Chen say this, Qingluo was already confused.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry, this king won't kill you, and he won't let your sister die. As long as you cooperate, both of you can live. Not only can I live, but I can also go to the palace with this king to live a good life! ”

"The slave family doesn't want to live a good life, but only wants to be able to live with his sister. If the slave family dies, leaving my sister alone in this world, the slave family is not at ease", Qingluo kowtowed heavily, "I beg Your Highness to save the lives of the two sisters of the slave family......"

King Chen nodded and said, "You go back first." Next, just do what the prince instructs, the better you do, the more the king can help you live. ”

Obviously, Qingluo didn't understand, and King Chen didn't mean to explain: "You just have to do what this king tells you to do." What this king asks you to do is definitely beneficial and harmless to you. If you want to follow this king, it doesn't matter if you don't have enough brains, as long as you are obedient, you will never have to suffer, understand? ”

"Yes." When it comes to "obedience", Qingluo can do a good job.

"Don't show anything", no way, she is too stupid, King Chen can only say a few more words, "If you show it unnaturally, and the prince sees the flaw, you and your sister will die before the king rescues." So take out your ability to act on the scene in the Qinglou, and play the role that you don't know the actual intention of the prince, just play the way you usually should be, understand? ”

"Yes." Qingluo answered again.

King Chen waved his hand: "Stand down." ”

"Yes...... The concubine retired. "It's a very obedient response again.

After Qingluo left, Rong Yunxi finally put down the melon seed plate, went to the small study, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The corners of King Chen's mouth hooked: "It's still a plan." As a brother, you can't let your eldest brother work in vain, and you must always let him taste the sweetness of some victory. The happier you are at this time, the heavier you will fall in the future...... Ay...... What can this king do, don't you say? You can't sit back and die! ”

"Okay, you're a scheming fox, pretending to be a loyal and pure stupid bear?"

In terms of strategy, Rong Yunxi can still see him through!

Next, there should be several more good shows to watch!

……

For several days in a row, I have been busy renovating the river, but it is calm.

A month had passed, until one day, King Chen entered the house with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Rong Yunxi was learning embroidery from Qingluo and asked casually.

There was no chance to take Qingluo in public for a while, Rong Yunxi was worried that Qingluo was thinking blindly in the room, and she couldn't hold her breath and make a mess again, so she asked Chuxia or Zhiqiu to call her every morning. Call her over to be your teacher and teach her embroidery. Not only can you watch her, but you can also pass the boring days, and you can also learn a good craft.

As for the business that King Chen said, Rong Yunxi was not in a hurry at all, because she already had a plan in her heart - the most profitable and least likely to attract the attention of the imperial court at the moment are restaurants and inns. And these businesses can't be planned here in Jiangnan. I still have to wait until I get back to Kyoto Castle and take a look around a few towns near Kyoto Castle for a field trip.

King Chen didn't reply to her, and went to sit in the small study by himself.

Seeing this, Qingluo got up and said goodbye.

King Chen stretched his neck and looked out of the window for a long time, making sure that Qingluo was gone, and then said: "There is a problem with the construction in Huai'an, and the eldest brother has already sent it to Kyoto, and the fast horse is already on the way." This time, Lord Cai's position as a Sanhuai Salt Road is completely ruined......"

"Isn't Your Highness careful? Why do you still let people take advantage of the loopholes? ”

"It's not a matter of being careful," said Chen...... Suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and he stretched out his hand and shook it to Rong Yunxi, "Everything is under control." ”

"Poof......" The posture of daring to enter the door is to scare people?

Rong Yunxi closed the doors and windows vigilantly, and said with a smile: "How can you control it?" ”

"I can't say right now, but I'll have to wait a while when I return to Kyoto. When the time comes, if the king doesn't say it, you can think it through. ”

"Cut...... I don't want to hear it yet! Rong Yunxi went to open the window door again, feeling that he was spending more effort.

He wants to sell the method of control, but what is going on, he can always talk about it, right?

Fortunately, King Chen is quite kind, and he didn't sell anything to her here.

It turned out that there was serious siltation of the newly repaired river channel in Huai'an, and the result of the prince's investigation was that Cai Sheng's investigation was not effective, and the workers shifted the widened position by one foot, but Cai Sheng did not find it. In the whole process of supervising the construction, they were left to widen in the offset position, and the one foot that really needed to be widened the most was left alone. When the inspection was finally completed, no problems were found.

But Cai Sheng said that the position marked on the drawings he got was the same as the position where the workers started to widen. Before starting work, he took the drawings to confirm with the foreman, and both of them were confirmed, and then the construction started.

So the prince ordered to go to the courtyard of Huai'an Mansion and Cai Sheng's private house to search for drawings, and found a foreman to confront him. On the drawings obtained by the prince, the location of the start of construction marked is obviously different from the actual start location. And asked the foreman, and the foreman also determined that the drawings he saw at the beginning were the correct drawings that the prince had searched. The reason why it was offset was because of a sentence from Lord Cai.

Master Cai said, "Didn't we proofread just now?" Construction should be done here".

Therefore, the foreman could only pick up the chisel according to the position pointed out by Master Cai.

The eldest brother asked Lao Cai, is there such a thing? What can Lao Cai say? I can only tell the truth, and say, 'Yes.' But the position where they first lowered the chisel was indeed a foot closer than the drawing! 'Big brother is annoyed......"

"Say, 'Okay, Cai Sheng, now that the human and material evidence are gathered, the drawings are correct drawings, and the foreman has also pointed out that he listened to your will to make the wrong chisel, but you still dare to quibble! You're not a little bold! You are talking nonsense with your eyes open, and you regard the majesty of this palace as nothing, and the majesty of the royal palace as nothing! Since you say that you are reasonable, the palace looks at it, and the evidence in the palace's possession is also reasonable, then let's let the father and emperor distinguish which side of this reason is on you and me. ’”

"So, the excerpt was delivered. It's a foot behind the wrong opening, in fact, if you find it early, it must be okay, and then make up for it and dig it back? But the problem is that there has been siltation, and it is only then that it is discovered that this siltation has caused a great impact on the ships passing and going, and the merchants are complaining. There is also a lot of discussion among the people, and it can be said that the people's grievances are boiling! Ay...... Lord Cai this time, it is a blessing to be able to keep the black gauze hat. ”

King Chen repeatedly emphasized that this matter was very serious, but it was like telling a story, and he didn't look nervous at all. So much so that Rong Yunxi really couldn't think about how serious this matter was.

Because the window and door were open, Rong Yunxi also knew that it was inconvenient to speak in someone else's house, so he leaned into King Chen's ear and whispered: "The drawing, the prince made the bag drop, right?" What was given to Master Cai before was the wrong drawing, but then he took out a correct one. ”

King Chen nodded her nose and said, "Yes, that's what happened, but we have no evidence!" ”

"Huh?" Rong Yunxi squinted at him, "Is there really not?" ”
