A good night's sleep was disturbed, Yang Fan lay down and rested for a while, then got up and went out alone.

This time I came to Qingnan, in addition to investigating the murder of Fang Wenzheng, I also had to inspect the construction of the canal.

On the side of the canal, it can be regarded as a sea of people, although it is a canal, but there is no water flow at the bottom of the river.

The water has been intercepted upstream, just to facilitate construction.

Yang Fan stood on the embankment, checking the progress of the canal construction.

The narrowest part of the canal, which is also more than 10 meters, is indeed a big project.

It was originally a river, but it was narrow in some places and blocked by reefs in other places, making it impossible for large boats to travel.

The main purpose of the canal construction was to promote the north-south currency, and the canal must be able to carry large ships.

The rocks on both sides and the reef at the bottom of the river became the most difficult part of the canal, and workers had to break up the rocks and remove them with hammers.

Yang Fan took a deep breath, only hoping that Peng Hui could quickly make a powerful enough explosive, which would save time and effort.

On the river embankment, officers and soldiers patrol back and forth from time to time.

Yang Fan walked along the canal, and many officials were on the spot to guide the work.

Of course, outside of work, there are people who are chatting.

"I heard that no, the emperor sent a Qin mission to inspect the river affairs, and the Qin mission is only a few hundred miles away from Qingnan. ”

"What can I do if I come? The construction of the canal has always been presided over by Lord Lu, and other people are interfering, but I am afraid that it will affect the progress of the construction. ”

"That's it, I heard that Na Qincha is only under twenty years old, what can he understand, just don't command blindly. ”

"Not necessarily, I heard that Qin Cha once presided over the construction of a canal in Lingnan County, maybe he really has some ability. ”

After hearing this, Yang Fan walked over with a smile and asked, "How can Lord Lu be an official? Building such a big canal requires a lot of labor, can Lord Lu be busy?"

"The construction of this canal is also for the benefit of the people, Lord Lu personally did it, paid a lot of effort, how many times to persuade the local gentry to donate money and food, counting on the little silver of the imperial court, it is definitely not enough. ”

Yang Fan smiled with satisfaction: "In this way, this Lord Lu is a good official." ”

"Lord Lu is the governor of Qingnan, Qingnan can have the current situation, it is all the credit of Lord Lu, listen to you, are you not from Qingnan?"

Yang Fan: "I was passing by here, and I heard that a canal was being built here, so I came to see the excitement, by the way, did the Du family, the richest man in Qingnan, donate money?"

"Lord Lu came forward in person, and the Du family always wanted to give some face, as if they had donated three thousand taels of silver. ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "That's really a lot, this Du family seems to be a good family." ”

"The Du family has money and power, and three thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot for us ordinary people, but in the eyes of the Du family, there is really nothing. ”

Yang Fan knew that the gifts given to Du Gao by Lingnan County County Commander Jin Deli every year were more than three thousand taels of silver.

However, fundraising is voluntary, and whether to donate or not to donate is up to others.

Yang Fan asked a few words casually and left, the reputation of this road to rising seems to be good, but I don't know what is going on with that little harem.

Yang Fan found a few more people to inquire about the situation, and the results were basically the same, and there was no other useful information.

After Yang Fan went back, he felt that it would be difficult to achieve any results from the secret visit, and it seemed that he had to move out of his identity as a messenger to see the reaction of this Qingnan official.

Finding He Xiaoling, Yang Fan opened his mouth and said, "Xiaoling, I plan to go back to the Qincha honor guard, you and Ziyi stay here to secretly inquire about the situation." ”

He Xiaoling frowned: "Yang Fan, I'll go with you." ”

Yang Fan shook his head and smiled: "Then what should I do here? There must always be a master, and Peng Hui, if there is any need, try to meet him." ”

He Xiaoling had a bitter face: "Then you should be careful." ”

Yang Fan stretched out his hand and pinched He Xiaoling's face, and said with a smile: "Don't have this expression, I will be able to rush back in a few days." ”

......

Ouyang Tao and the others took the Qincha honor guard all the way south, only more than 100 kilometers away from Qingnan, and they could enter Qingnan City in two days.

Zhao Xiaoyu was a little worried: "I don't know how Yang Fan is now?"

Ouyang Tao: "I should have entered Qingnan City a long time ago, Lord Yang's martial arts are strong, junior sister doesn't have to worry." ”

Zhao Xiaoyu pouted and said, "However, He Xiaoling has been following him, and I am worried about ......"

Ouyang Tao frowned and looked at Zhao Xiaoyu: "Senior sister, you and I both know Yang Fan's true identity, and some emotions must be remembered to be restrained." ”

Zhao Xiaoyu had a bitter face: "I know, but I just don't feel happy in my heart." ”

At this time, Xiao Mei rode over and asked with a smile, "Miss Xiaoyu, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Mei coldly: "What do you have to do with what you are talking about, you better be honest." ”

Xiao Mei smiled: "I see, Miss Xiaoyu is jealous, Lord Yang and He Xiaoling have ambiguous expressions, when the two are in Kyoto, I am afraid that they have already promised each other for life." ”

Zhao Xiaoyu's face sank: "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Mei: "I'm just holding grievances for you, you have paid the most for Lord Yang, but in the end, you let He Xiaoling take the lead, it's angry to think about it." ”

Ouyang Tao frowned and looked at Xiao Mei, he already knew that Xiao Mei was a person from the Heaven Killing Sect, and saying this for no reason was by no means a grievance.

Zhao Xiaoyu said angrily: "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Snatch it back, of course. ”

Zhao Xiaoyu was puzzled: "How do you rob this?"

"Have you ever heard of the Forgetfulness Pill?"

Zhao Xiaoyu looked dazed: "What is that, what does it do?"

"A person who takes the Forgetful Heart Pill will forget the person he cares about the most in his heart, and now Lord Yang cares most in his heart, but I'm afraid it's not Miss Xiaoyu. ”

Zhao Xiaoyu was really moved after hearing this.

Ouyang Tao said coldly: "What kind of forgetfulness pill should be something specially used by the Heaven Killing Sect to harm people, Lord Yang is our chief, but you let us poison him." ”

Xiao Mei smiled: "Where is this harming him, people who take the Forgetful Heart Pill will not feel pain." ”

"In this way, Miss Xiao must have taken this Forgetfulness Pill. ”

A voice came from afar, followed by a figure.

Yang Fan just arrived and happened to hear what Xiao Mei said.

"Yang Fan, you're back. Zhao Xiaoyu greeted him excitedly.

Xiao Mei looked embarrassed for a while, it was too inopportune for Yang Fan to come back.

Ouyang Tao bowed his hand: "Lord Yang!"

Yang Fan nodded: "Everyone is okay." ”

Li Kai and Li Bashan also rushed over to greet Yang Fan.

Ouyang Tao replied, "The road is peaceful, but Lord Yang entered Qingnan City first?"

Yang Fan nodded: "It's just that there is nothing to gain, Qingnan officials are not like Jin Deli in Lingnan County, they are much more cautious, I am afraid that there will be a tough battle to fight." ”。

Xiao Mei smiled: "You are Qincha, representing the imperial power, who dares to fight with you." ”

Yang Fan: "I can only improvise, go to Qingnan, and find a way to find fault with Du Gao, the political envoy, for me, I must get rid of this person." ”
