Chapter 267: Substitute for the Dead Ghost

Doctor Liu was stunned for a long time: "Women are loyal and brave, never inferior to their sons, I used to underestimate the eldest princess." ”

Cheng Anhou, who should be the most happy, couldn't be happy for a while.

As soon as he returned home, Fu'an came to report the news he had learned from Zhezhou: "I heard that it was a serious epidemic, and I had been sick for seven or eight days. ”

Cheng'an Hou frowned: "After being sick for so long, can it still be cured?" ”

Fu'an said: "I heard that the eldest princess's illness is different from other victims, not only is her body sore, but also cold and hot, the imperial doctor is helpless, and she can't come up with an effective treatment for a while, after a few days of treatment, the eldest princess's health is getting worse, and she can still deal with the official affairs piled up by the yamen every day, and she can't even hold a pen in the back." ”

Cheng Anhou's mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

……

Seven days have passed since Jiang Fuguang moved into the isolation point.

Ji Ruxuan set up a separate camp in a secluded and remote place in the quarantine area, Jiang Fuguang was worried about infecting Ji Ruxuan with the epidemic, and strongly asked him to wear a mask, gloves soaked in realgar wine, and even cover his neck tightly.

Tell Yingluo to remind him to drink the decoction to avoid the epidemic in the morning and evening, sprinkle realgar powder and sulfur powder on his body, and smoke incense to avoid the epidemic after washing his clothes every day.

She was still in the camp tent, hung a lot of anti-epidemic sachets, and smoked anti-epidemic incense.

Even he wore a sachet on his body, wore a mask, and smoked heavy incense, so he couldn't avoid physical contact with Ji Ruxuan, so he avoided getting close to him.

She didn't know if this was useful, but fortunately, Ji Ruxuan was not infected with the epidemic.

In order to take care of her conveniently, Ji Ruxuan built a simple stove, made all kinds of food every day, and took care of her meticulously.

But Rao is like this, Jiang Fuguang's body is still getting worse, his appetite is getting worse and worse, he is eating less and less, and the whole person is losing weight at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and it is difficult to even lift a pen and dip it in ink.

Wen Yiqian walked into the tent, on such a hot day, the eldest princess was wearing a cloak, her petite body was wrapped in a fat cloak, and she had a feeling of weakness and weakness.

In just seven days, the eldest princess has already been formed.

But even so, she was still writing at her desk, and it was clear that her hands were trembling all the time, and she couldn't write two words, so she had to stop and rest for a while, so as not to splash the ink on the paper.

His heart was astringent, and he knelt down slowly: "Xiaguan, meet the eldest princess." ”

The tip of the pen paused slightly, and Jiang Fuguang raised his head: "Here, sit down!" ”

Xu knew that he was coming, so two smokers were placed in the camp tent, and the smoke was thick in the camp, which made her very uncomfortable.

Jiang Fuguang covered his mouth and coughed a few times: "You let Yingluo bring a message, saying that there is something important to report, and you must see me before you can say it, what is it?" ”

Wen Yiqian's eyes were red: "My subordinates have secretly visited many victims of the disaster this time, and they all said that the dam is very strong, and it has rained for more than ten days in previous years, and the water level has always been within the safety line." ”

"And the villagers let people guard the weir every day, before the dam bursts, there is no warning, on the night of the dam burst, the villagers guarding the weir mouth were also washed away by the water, but just half an hour before the dam burst, Wang Dagui, who guarded the weir with him in shifts, said that there was no problem with the dam, if the dam went wrong, the villagers guarding the weir carried the gong with them, why did they not warn? How can such a big dam be destroyed and destroyed? ”

Jiang Fuguang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Wen Yiqian to find so much.

There is always a mistake in 100 secrets.

But there will always be some clues to those unsightly sneaky things, as long as someone is willing to investigate with their hearts, they will definitely be able to find clues.

Xia Guan felt that something was wrong, and began to secretly visit those villagers who participated in the repair of the river every year, and from their words, he vaguely realized, "Wen Yiqian fell to the ground, and his throat trembled, "The River Repair Division is greedy for money for river repair, and less than half of the river repair money allocated by the imperial court every year is really used for river repair." ”

With a "clang", the teacup in Jiang Fuguang's hand fell to the ground, her throat was itchy, and she covered her mouth and coughed lightly a few times.

originally thought that Cheng Anhou was bold, but when the incident of Xiu Hesi came out, she knew that Cheng Anhou was scheming.

Only then did she understand why Cheng'an Hou had no fear and instructed Li Taishou and Wang County to order the destruction of the embankment.

It's because of the ghost who is the substitute for the dead of the Xiuhe Division.

At first, the eldest princess rejected the request for river repair, and only allocated 200,000 taels of river repair, which not only touched the interests of the River Repair Division, but also made the officials of the River Repair Division hold a grudge.

At the same time, Xiuhe Si was a thief and secretly speculated about the eldest princess, did she notice that they were greedy for ink river money? Worried that the corruption of the river will be exposed.

In previous years, it took more than 300,000 taels to build a river embankment, but this year only 200,000 taels have been allocated.

After the dam washed away, causing the disaster in Xin'an County, the river repair department did not know its internal situation, and saw that the crime of embezzlement of ink to repair the river, which led to the disrepair of the river embankment, could not be hidden, and everyone was frightened.

When Li Taishou wanted to put the responsibility on the eldest princess, in order to shirk the responsibility, the Xiuhe Division couldn't wait to jump out, and colluded with Li Taishou and the officials of Hangzhou County, and put all the blame for the disrepair of the river embankment on the eldest princess.

I want the eldest princess to be a substitute for the dead.

As everyone knows, Xiuhe Si is also a substitute ghost for Cheng'an Hou.

If the "inverted growth" is successful, Cheng'an Hou achieves his goal, and the Xiuhe Division will naturally be fine.

If the "inverted long" fails, the sin of destroying the embankment will go to the Xiuhe Division, and Cheng'an Hou can escape safely.

What a plan.

If Wen Yiqian hadn't found out that the Xiuhe Division was greedy for money for repairing the river, and Cheng Anhou pushed the Xiuhe Division out to replace him, the evidence of the destruction of the embankment in her hands was not enough to make Cheng Anhou confess his guilt and confess to the law.

"The garrison took control of the officials of Hangzhou County, and the lower officials, in the capacity of river supervision history, with the assistance of the garrison, forcibly entered the River Repair Division, and checked the account books of the River Repair Division over the years, and found that the account books were seriously inconsistent with the information found by the lower officials and secret visits."

"The lower officials dared to guarantee with their heads, and the River Repair Division lied to the imperial court about the money for repairing the river, and committed the evil act of embezzling the money for repairing the river, which led to the disrepair of the river embankment, which caused the disaster in Xin'an County, and more than 100,000 people suffered.

Jiang Fuguang said softly: "The dam is newly repaired, it is already very solid, the people of the River Repair Division have always been slippery, it is true that they are greedy for ink to repair the river, and it is also true that they are seriously repairing the river embankment every year, do you think it is really the disrepair of the river embankment, which led to the disaster in Xin'an County?" ”
