Seven days later, it was on time to enter Sichuan and Shu, all the way Chen Ping really saw what is called the suffering of the people, has not entered Shuzhou City, on the road to see countless displaced people begging on the road, most of them walked along the southeast direction, I have never seen to enter the city, almost all of them are out of the city, except for their line of people is very special.

Continuous torrential rains, typhoons raging, the Yellow River overflowed, washed away the houses of hundreds of people outside Shuzhou, floods and mudslides harmed many people, so that they now have no place to live, day after day, the people have long been bored, food is difficult to supply, the city is difficult to provide grain and grass, and the wails are everywhere.

The main reason for the imperial court to distribute 300,000 silver is to stabilize the hearts of the people, the people can't eat without food, but they can't do without money, at least now they will definitely be displaced where they don't live, in this case, no matter where they go, they need silver.

Entering Shuzhou, a group of people stayed directly in an ordinary inn, but they didn't go to the Shuzhou officials.

Wang Ping didn't want to go to great lengths because he didn't want to attract attention, as a messenger, since he came to investigate the case, he couldn't be too conspicuous, he didn't know how to lose the silver, he was robbed, swallowed, and pitted, and he didn't know that there were no twists and turns, and he would think of hiding it first, which was normal.

Sichuan Shu is actually called Shuzhou, in the previous life is Sichuan Tianfu, but now there is no name Sichuan, this place is one of the sources of the Yellow River, the Yellow River flooding, the bad situation can be seen, even the city roads are full of complaints, there are a few people on the road, said that the recent heavy rain came very quickly and very suddenly, did not make any preparations, not only washed away a lot of grain fields on the periphery of Shuzhou, even the city suffered a very cruel blow and damage under the heavy rain and wind.

In Chen Ping's words, it is rain and flooding, and the outside is flooding, and the inside is almost like being swept by an eighteen-level typhoon.

Now Chen Ping knows that the reason why the Yellow River dam collapsed is that the origin is that there is a heavy rainstorm this time, without any signs and menacing, in other words, it can only be regarded as a natural disaster in the previous life, but under the washing of the typhoon and flood in the previous life, the country will be very timely, not only will send people in advance to prevent and save people, but also quickly supply grain, grass and daily necessities in advance.

But looking at the situation now, it seems that the imperial court has not made any more rapid and favorable response?

Chen Ping frowned when he saw it, and took advantage of the stall where everyone was tidying up the horses outside the inn, and couldn't help but say to Lin Tong: "This Yellow River flood disaster, didn't you send someone to save the people first, if someone is washed away by the water or something, wouldn't it be better to send some people over to save the hearts of the people first?" ”

"Where didn't I send people, when this flood and the dam collapsed earlier, the emperor sent the military department Shangshu Yu Wen Shixiong with 5,000 men and horses to come." Commander Lin said in a low voice.

They are people from official families, and now they come to check the whereabouts of the silver, and they can't reveal too much to make people recognize their identities, otherwise it will not be half the benefit of investigating the case.

Chen Ping shook his brows, "What about them?" ”

Commander Lin said: "If you are stationed outside the city, how can you enter the city, but I heard that the effect is not very good, at most it is to prevent and control any turmoil." ”

In this case, the most likely to appear is the common people riots, robbery, stealing, under the natural disaster, some people in order to survive and break the law, this military department Shangshu Yu Wen Shixiong with 5,000 soldiers and horses to come, although it is mainly used for disaster relief, but it is nothing more than to prevent riots?

The old emperor has a heart, these 5,000 soldiers and horses are not a small number.

"What are you talking about, don't come in yet." The crown princess in front turned around and said in a deep voice, her temper not looking very good.

When I looked closely, it turned out that I had already arranged to enter the inn. Now they only brought a few retinues, and the other guards were hidden around, and they didn't take them with them, but just kept them secretly.

Chen Ping touched his nose and said, "Commander Lin, let's stay in a room this time." ”

Commander Lin was stunned, "Okay." ”

Chen Ping said: "I'm not afraid that Gonggong Zhang will send someone to assassinate, I'm worried that there will be a riot, you see that Ben Gongzi is so handsome, at first glance he is very rich, if someone pays attention to Ben Gongzi, it will be a bad thing, I am the only doctor in our line, I am thinking about our prince." ”

Commander Lin said solemnly: "I know, I've been studying with Chen for so long, will Lin still know about your character." ”

Chen Ping sighed.

Entering the inn, this inn is not very high-end luxury, but it can be regarded as a bit of taste, but now the Yellow River is flooding, flooding, typhoon sweeping, the city is in chaos, naturally there will be no passers-by at this time to stay in the hotel.

Those who do business don't come, those who run the rivers and lakes don't come, just those who do things for the royal family, and the inn is very deserted.

In the end, he asked for four rooms, one for Chen Ping and Lin Commander, one for Wang Ping, one for the prince and the princess, and one for the other entourages.

After that, everyone went to pack their bags and pack.

After sorting out the luggage and the like, Chen Ping and Lin Tong led out of the room, because they had said when they came before, they would tidy up their things first, and then they would have a meeting.

When they came out, there was already Wang Ping, who was dressed in green clothes and white hair, waiting downstairs, and the crown princess and the prince had not yet come out.

I have to say that this old man is not easy, he has to run around when he is old, he is really heartbroken for the old emperor.

Along the way, Chen Ping didn't communicate with this Wang Ping, and the two had nothing to communicate, Wang Ping was a first-class old official, the old emperor was close to his ministers, and he was in power, so naturally he wouldn't have nothing to talk to Chen Ping, Chen Ping had no topic like him.

I can't run up and ask people if I have nothing to do, eh, old man, how is your health lately, can you go up to the fifth floor in one breath, do you want to eat a golden partner......

"Prime Minister Wang." Commander Lin came over and said respectfully.

Chen Ping naturally echoed beside him.

Wang Ping had a hidden worry on his face, but he just bowed his head, pointed to the position next to him, and said sit down.

Chen Ping knew that he hadn't smiled all the way over, and it was not a trivial matter to lose 300,000 taels of silver, but more importantly, this matter also fell on his head and was handed over to him to investigate.

How do you check this?

There's a long way to go.

On the way, Chen Ping asked Commander Lin how he lost the silver and why he lost it, but unfortunately there was no clue at all, just like the silver evaporated in the world, and he had no clue at all.

However, after a long time, the crown prince came out first, and the crown princess did not appear.

"Prince, where's Wan'er?" Wang Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that there was only the crown prince.

The prince said helplessly: "Wan'er said that she wanted to take a break, maybe she didn't rest last night." ”

Wang Ping nodded and said, "I'm sorry for him, Wan'er has been running with us on the road these days, and the trip has been expedited all the way. ”

The prince said lightly: "The girl's body is weak. ”

It is as if you are in good health...... Chen Ping couldn't help but scoff.

However, Chen Ping was a little surprised in his heart, the crown princess's face was still okay when she came in just now, why did she feel uncomfortable and start to rest after a while?

Chen Ping couldn't help but wonder if the crown prince had been too idle to play the princess badly recently.
