Chu Nanyue knew that she was taking a risk.

Zhang Song had sent all the servants in the yamen for her to send, but Chu Nanyue actually didn't use too many people.

Chu Nanyue took more than a dozen servants and a hundred personal soldiers under her command and went straight to Yuwangfu.

They moved quickly, but a team of men and horses inevitably looked aggressive, and when they arrived at the gate of Yuwangfu, the guards did not let them in.

"I just came to the house today, don't you recognize me?" Chu Nanyue sat on top of the horse and stepped on the snow, and asked loudly.

"The little one naturally recognizes General Chu, and the little one gives His Royal Highness a salute." The housekeeper who came out of the house was also startled, and hurriedly called someone to inform Dongling Hong.

It didn't take long for Dongling Hong to come out with a stern face, and said coldly: "I thought that this morning, I had a good conversation with General Chu, and I didn't want General Chu to come back with the soldiers in a blink of an eye, what do you want to do in broad daylight?" ”

He looked at the people and horses led by Chu Nanyue, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, and even began to associate it with Chu Nanyue's sudden visit in the morning.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, I am offended." Chu Nanyue jumped off the horse. "But now I want to search the mansion, maybe His Royal Highness King Yu has heard about the Pingjiang water case. I wonder if His Royal Highness King Yu feels that he is also in it? ”

Dongling Hong looked at Chu Nanyue's smile on his face, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "What nonsense are you talking about?" What does Pingjiang's case have to do with me? You didn't coordinate the contradiction between Jiangbei Village and Jiangnan Village with Zhang Song, but came to my house to make trouble? ”

"Whether it has anything to do with it, His Royal Highness King Yu can say it or not, Rong Mo will enter the mansion to search, and the truth will naturally be revealed." Chu Nanyue is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Bold!" Dongling Hong said angrily, "I am the emperor's own King Yu, how can the palace allow you to be presumptuous?!" ”

Chu Nanyue knew that moving out of the emperor at this time was to make her retreat. But she had already thought that Tanglin Hong would do this, and she was not shaken by his threat.

So Chu Nanyue bowed deeply and said, "It is my duty to investigate the Pingjiang water case. If, after the search, His Royal Highness King Yu has been wronged, then I will personally make amends to His Royal Highness. ”

"You!" Hearing Chu Nanyue's words, King Yu couldn't help but feel angry.

Then without waiting for Dongling Hong to speak again, Chu Nanyue waved his hand. The soldiers responded and surrounded the people in the mansion, but they did not search, but were responsible for controlling the Yuwang Mansion.

Chu Nanyue led the more than ten servants into the backyard of King Yu's mansion.

The pool was still as it had been in the morning. Chu Nanyue saw the outlet of the underground canal and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Tanglin Hong did not suspect her and Tanglin Shuo in the morning. Everything was fast, and Tanglin Hong didn't have time to make changes.

Chu Nanyue pointed to the water outlet and asked Donglinghong: "If I am not mistaken, this is the outlet of the underground canal, and from this source, it can lead to the Pingjiang River." ”

Dongling Hong's face was already pale: "General Chu is mistaken, this is not an underground canal. ”

"Oh?" Chu Nanyue chuckled, "Then His Royal Highness King Yu and I will go all the way back and see for myself where the source is, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Tanglin Hong fell silent.

If it is really as Chu Nanyue said, he will slap himself in the face.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, let's go into the palace with me and tell the emperor the truth." Chu Nanyue said.

She had planned to expose the matter in front of the ministers at the dawn of the morning. But just after entering King Yu's Mansion again, Chu Nanyue couldn't help but think about it more.

After all, it is the royal face, and it is better to accuse King Yu in public, but it is better to explain the situation privately with the emperor.

What's more, when the morning dynasty tomorrow comes, Tanglin Shuo will inevitably be present. If Dongling Hong was angry and mixed Tanglin Shuo with it, wouldn't it go against her original intention?

Donglinghong's face was cloudy, but he didn't say no.

Chu Nanyue left his own soldiers to guard the water outlet, and sent someone to call the officials of the Ministry of Industry of the Central Committee of the DPRK to investigate the Yuwang Mansion.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were in charge of the construction project, and the matter of Pingjiang was naturally under their jurisdiction because of the water conservancy project.

Chu Nanyue asked them to be a witness, so that only she and Tangling Shuo could witness it now.

After explaining the things here, Chu Nanyue went to the palace.

Although Dongling Hong was reluctant to go, he was even more afraid that Chu Nanyue would meet the emperor alone, but he was afraid that he would not even have the opportunity to defend himself.

Chu Nanyue rode a horse, Dongling Hong sat in a sedan chair, along the way, although the two were not far away, they had their own thoughts and never said a word.

The chief eunuch beside the emperor in the palace also seemed to feel that today's atmosphere was not quite right, and without asking Chu Nanyue and Dongling Hongduo, he went to tell the emperor about the situation.

In the Imperial Study.

The emperor looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and couldn't react to what was going on for a while.

If he remembers correctly, Dongling Hong and Chu Nanyue do not have any personal relationship, and there is also no contradiction, and they have never met him together like today.

"General Chu, what's going on today?" The Emperor said.

Chu Nanyue raised her eyes and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the last general is the result of the Pingjiang Water Case. ”

The emperor remembered this, but Zhang Song had already handed him an excerpt, saying that it had been dealt with clearly, why was there no situation?

So the emperor said: "I have already made the situation clear, you and Zhang Song have meritorious, and I will reward you." ”

Chu Nanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the Pingjiang water case, on the surface, is indeed as Zhang Song said to the emperor before, it is a dispute between the villagers of the two villages over water. But has the emperor ever thought about why there is no real drought, and Pingjiang is short of water this year? ”

The emperor squinted his eyes, already sensing the meaning of Chu Nanyue's words, and said, "If General Chu finds something, he might as well say it directly." ”

After speaking, the emperor's eyes glanced at Dongling Hong, and with a look and coldness in his eyes, he saw that Dongling Hong quickly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, when I went to Pingjiang to check along the river today, the last general did gain something." Chu Nanyue said in a straight voice, she deliberately hid Tanglin Shuo, and only led herself out.

"In the end, I will find some abandoned things near the middle of the river, as if they were left behind by the construction project. But there hasn't been any recent work. When he looked closer, he found an underground canal. And this underground canal, under the tracking of the last general, leads directly to Yuwangfu. After speaking, Chu Nanyue looked at Dongling Hong beside him.

The emperor endured his anger and asked Dongling Hong: "General Chu means that you secretly built an underground canal and diverted the water of the Pingjiang River. Second, have you ever done this? ”

The emperor had always trusted his sons, and when he left matters into their hands, he tended not to oversee them too much.

But just now he heard Chu Nanyue's words, although they were brief, they were enough for the emperor to hook up the cause and effect of the matter.

The emperor did not forget that the project of building the embankment a year ago was not handed over to the Ministry of Works, but handed over to Tanglin Hong in order to train his son.
