It took another half a decade for Lu Chen to meet many people in the capital, and only then did he take three or two guards to quietly set off for Jingzhou late one night.

Among these people, there are high-ranking officials such as Shi Jieshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Bin, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, as well as prodigal talents who linger in the Qinglou restaurant all the year round. No one knows what he said when he saw them, and what he accomplished.

How did he know that something happened before he arrived in Jingzhou.

When he heard the information about the accident, Lu Chen was having breakfast in an inconspicuous restaurant in Xiangfan. He only came here last night, and this restaurant can only be regarded as ordinary in the Lu family. Lu Chen just wanted to rest overnight and leave, and he didn't pay attention to it. But Jingzhou and Xiangfan are close to each other, and there is such a big thing in Jingzhou, so even Xiangfan is known in the morning. But at first glance, when he heard the news reported by the shop owner, Lu Chen was still shocked for a moment.

The Jingjiang embankment, which was more than half repaired, collapsed! It also crushed hundreds of migrant workers who were building the embankment! The local officials did not save people as soon as possible, but sent people to block the news as quickly as possible!

Lu Chen's hand holding the teacup trembled a few times, and then froze, and his muscles flared up.

Even when Emperor Jiancheng was in Chang'an, he had heard of this project, Emperor Xianjia was benevolent and had always advocated the gentle taxation and resting of the people, but in order to repair the Jingjiang embankment, he also increased taxes and collected forced labor, just to protect the livelihood of the people on both sides of the strait once and for all. At that time, he was still sighing, this project is huge, but if it is really done well, it will be a good thing for thousands of years, although Emperor Xianjia is benevolent, he is not confused. It's not the rainy season, it's a good time to do construction. If he doesn't collapse sooner or later, now it's collapsing, if he finds out that there is a cat in it, he will definitely ask the relevant people to pay for his life!

The angry Lu Chen dropped the teacup, grabbed the horse and went straight to Jingzhou, he wanted to see who was behind the scenes!

By the time Lu Chen arrived in Jingzhou, it was already late at night, and he ordered, "Let Wu Jing come and see me now!" ”

Wu Jing has more than 40 years, his ancestral home is Huaibei, Anhui Province, just in the flood discharge area of the Yangtze River, the family suffered from floods, since he was a child, he was determined to go upriver and divert the Yangtze River, and he still did not give up the study of water conservancy dams after being admitted to the magistrate, Lu Chen saved his life on the way to his promotion and felt that this person was available, and then heard that Emperor Xianjia was going to build the Jingjiang embankment to find a way to put him into this project, initially just wanted him to be a hero. Unexpectedly, this person did have some skills, and within a few years, he became the governor of Jingzhou and assisted in the construction of the Jingjiang embankment.

"Master Lu, don't come unharmed." Wu Jing waved his hands.

"Master Wu sit, I won't talk about gossip, what's the situation with the Jingjiang embankment?" Lu Chen looked at Wu Jing, he was wearing a dark blue official uniform that was a little messy, and his brows were tightly locked, which was more vicissitudes than a few years ago.

"Lu Gongzi, it is my duty to take this matter in Jingzhou, but it was indeed expected. To put it mildly, early collapse is better than late collapse, and it really collapses when the flood is monstrous and relies on it to save your life, which is really the party that is the disaster. Just stoned hundreds of migrant workers to death, which was indeed unexpected to me. Wu Jing looked ashamed.

"I asked you to come here because you not only know how to read, but also want to make achievements in water conservancy, so you give me this conclusion? Why not report early! Lu Chen was even more angry.

"It is precisely because I have investigated this matter that the wide range of people involved is so high that it is eye-popping, and I am in a dilemma for a while, so I did not report it to Childe, for fear of causing trouble to Childe." Wu Jingdao.

"Confused! Whether you can handle it, to what extent you can handle it, is my problem, and now that it has caused a catastrophe, how can you be worthy of those hundreds of migrant workers! Tell me, what the hell is going on. Lu Chen also understood that before this, he was just a retainer who divided the prince's domain, and it was inevitable that Wu Jing would have concerns.

Wu Jing said it one by one. It turned out that although the Jingjiang embankment was located in Jingzhou, the imperial court specially sent the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household to supervise the construction, the Governor Lu Yiyuan was the head of the Ministry of Industry, and the Deputy Governor Qiao Hongda was the head of the Ministry of Households. And these two, Qiao Hongda is a fan of Jin Chengting, as for Lu Yiyuan......

"Lu Yiyuan was born in a noble family, and the Lu family has gone through three dynasties, and I currently have no evidence to prove that he has anything to do with this matter." Wu Jing hesitated.

"What happened to the victims?" Lu Chen said.

"I have already written a report to the capital, Lu Dudu is counting the relevant information, and I am also sending people to keep an eye on it, and I will not wronged the people." Wu Jingdao.

"You have to remember that the purpose of building the levee is for the people, and everyone will naturally have merit if things are done well. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, there are some things that he can see. Lu Chen advised. As for this incident, since I am here, I will definitely find out, and you will do a good job of dealing with the aftermath and fill in the gaps. ”

When Wu Jing left, Lu Chen instructed, "Lu Tong, go and prepare, and visit the Governor's Mansion at night." ”

"Third son, it's already time, you have worked hard today, do you want to ...... tomorrow?"

"I'm fine, I'm scared, you go with me, and everyone else stays in the inn." Lu Chen said.

The people received the order and went to repair themselves.
