The mockery in Song Shuwan's eyes became more and more intense, but before she could speak, the carriage suddenly shook and stopped.

Pei Huan turned his head sideways and asked, "What happened?" ”

Dark San's voice came into the carriage: "There is a group of refugees blocking the road, please rest assured, it will be dealt with soon." ”

Song Shuwan frowned slightly, and wanted to get out of the carriage to check, but she thought that she couldn't cause trouble to the people outside, so she could only sit still.

However, not long after, the noise outside suddenly became louder, followed by a hoarse roar into the carriage: "It's the relief grain of the imperial court, and these carts are the relief grain of the imperial court, grab it, run forward for me, go grab the grain!" ”

Song Shuwan's face changed greatly, she was actually robbing food, were the refugees in Mingzhou City so bold?

At this time, another cold voice sounded: "If you dare to move forward, you will not leave any of them, and kill them all!" ”

"Yes!"

Song Shuwan's heart was pressed down by this sentence, and her face became heavy.

"Don't worry."

The sudden four words made Song Shuwan stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was Pei Huan who was talking, and couldn't help but look over.

"See what?"

Pei Huan seemed to be able to see Song Shuwan, and a pair of black eyes locked Song Shuwan's gaze almost instantly.

"Nothing."

Song Shuwan suppressed the surging thoughts in her heart, listening to the changes outside, I don't know how long it took, the noise disappeared, and the stopped carriage also moved.

Outside Mingzhou City, a group of officials were waiting, and when they saw the convoy, they immediately greeted them: "Xiaguan and others welcome the prince, the princess!" ”

Pei Huan showed up and motioned for them to get up: "No need to be polite, let's go into the city." ”

"Yes."

Song Shuwan frowned, because her thoughts were still on the group of refugees who grabbed food on the road, she was a little more careless.

"The prince, the princess, the lower officials and others have set up a reception banquet in the city, and ask the two of you to follow us to the Fuyan Building."

Reception feast? Fu Yan Lou?

Song Shuwan heard these words when she came back to her senses, and her brows furrowed even tighter, but she didn't make a sound, but looked at Pei Huan silently.

"The people outside are miserable, and you still have the heart to set up a reception banquet in the city?"

Pei Huan spoke slowly, and his understated tone was mixed with killing intent, which made the official who spoke stiffen, and after reacting, he hurriedly explained with a smile: "The prince misunderstood, the reception banquet that the lower official said was just a light meal, not a ......."

"Fuyan Building, huh?"

Pei Huan interrupted him, and with a gesture, several people stepped forward to hold down the official who was speaking, and at the same time, Dark San also led people to the Fuyan Building.

There was silence all around, the wind was blowing, and the atmosphere was almost frozen.

It didn't take long for the dark three to turn around: "Shizi, there is indeed a banquet in the Fuyan Building, and the food is even more exquisite than that in the capital." ”

As soon as these words fell, all the officials who were still standing knelt down.

"Shizi, this is all a misunderstanding."

"Yes, yes, the food in the Fuyan Building is not set by us."

A group of people were looking for excuses, but Pei Huan no longer had the meaning to listen: "Take it for this son of the world, and put them all in prison!" ”

"Yes!"

A group of officials were arrested, Song Shuwan watched from behind, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, she guessed that Pei Huan would deal with the officials here, but she didn't expect Pei Huan to do it when they met.

"Shizi's move is indeed neat, but what about the people of Mingzhou City? Without local officials, the disaster relief after the prince is afraid that it will not be smooth. ”

Song Shuwan lowered her voice and tried to persuade Pei Huan to release a few officials.

However, Pei Huan didn't care at all, he said lightly: "I'm only here for disaster relief, how can I put up with those officials' wine bags and rice bags?" ”

"But ......"

"Look, I know what is going on here."

When Song Shuwan heard this, she could only suppress the hesitation in her heart.

Half an hour later, the group stayed at the inn, Pei Huan sent a few secret guards to look for people, and it didn't take long for the secret guards to take a few people back to the inn.

"Shizi, these are the people who live outside Mingzhou City, next to the Nine Canals."

When several people heard the word Shizi, they knelt down tremblingly and saluted.

Pei Huan raised his hand slightly: "It's all exempt, this son is looking for you to come over, I want to ask about the sudden flood in Mingzhou City, as far as I know, it is not in the flood season now, why did there be a flood?" And if I'm not mistaken, Mingzhou City hasn't had floods in previous years, right? ”

Several people exchanged glances, and one of the old men gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "If you go back to the world, you remember right, Mingzhou City did not have floods in previous years, but that was because the upstream embankment was well repaired, and Lord Tang Cheng would check the situation of the embankment every month." ”

"But since last year, Lord Tang Cheng was inexplicably injured, and he lay in the house for more than a month before he came out, and at that time he was elevated by the officials below, and this year there was a problem with the embankment, and Lord Tang Cheng wanted to repair it, but they pressed Lord Tang Cheng not to give money, so that a rain fell, and he ......."

When the old man said this, he knelt on the ground: "Shizi, please save Lord Tang Cheng and save the people next to my Nine Canals!" ”

Pei Huan's face gradually sank with the old man's words, and when he heard this, his fingers tightened a little: "You wait to retreat first." ”

The old man wanted to say more, but the dark three had already grabbed him: "Old man, it's time to go." ”

Seeing this, the old man could only swallow his pleading words and exit the room.

With a "snap", Pei Huan slapped the armrest of the wheelchair fiercely: "These bastards!" ”

As soon as Song Shuwan arrived at the door, she heard this angry scolding, and she felt a little strange in her heart: "Who is the prince scolding?" ”

Pei Huan tilted his head slightly, and the emotional changes on his face were removed: "It's nothing, tomorrow I will set up a shed at the gate of the city to give porridge, do you want to go and take a look?" ”

Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows, walked slowly to Pei Huan, and pulled the corners of her lower lip for a long time: "The prince doesn't want to say, I won't ask, but I guess the only one who can make the prince so angry is the officials of Mingzhou City, right?" What did the prince find? ”

Pei Huan sighed a little in his heart, Song Shuwan was too sharp, and she could guess the key with a slight turn of her mind.

"The dam of the Nine Canal was washed away by water, not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

Song Shuwan paused, and after reacting, her eyebrows tightened: "Someone deliberately destroyed the embankment?" ”

"It can be said that Mingzhou City and County made Tang Cheng elevated, so that the embankment was not repaired, which caused the current situation."

Song Shuwan was silent, and asked for a while: "Then Tang Chengtang, where is Lord Tang now?" ”

"The government office, although he was set aside, but in the end it was the county order of a city, and the group of people below didn't dare to ask for his life."

Song Shuwan bowed her head slightly, and was about to speak, when there were suddenly two taps outside the door, followed by a tired and numb voice into the room.

"Dare to ask Pei Shizi, can you be in the house?"
