A young man was really angry, just now the man and a horse passed by him, the vegetable basket he was carrying on his shoulder rubbed the horse, and suddenly a stumble, the young man fell on the side of the road and gnawed mud.

He got up and wiped his mouth, and cursed at the man.

At this time, the horse had galloped to the gate of the city, but the young man suddenly could not speak.

Because he saw the figure on horseback and cast a glance at it, the young man instantly felt cold, impatient, and a strong killing intent.

He couldn't help but shudder.

The horses soon disappeared at the gates.

"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday evening, I got the news that the embankment at the junction of the two rivers in Dongwu collapsed, and the people downstream suffered heavy losses.

As soon as the emperor sat on the dragon chair, he said to everyone in the hall.

There was an uproar in the court.

Some question the authenticity of this news, some are thinking about remedial measures, and some lament the lack of livelihood of the people due to natural disasters.........

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the news is true or false, and it needs to be verified."

It was Tobe Shangshu who spoke, an old man with gray hair.

"What is Wu Aiqing's opinion?" The emperor looked at him and motioned for the old man to continue.

The minister thought that the dam at the junction of the two rivers of Eastern Wu was built by the first emperor in order to benefit the people of Eastern Wu. At that time, the supervisors and designers were all first-class talents in the Ministry of Industry, and the Dongwu River embankment can be described as a credit for thousands of years. ”

When the old man said this, he secretly glanced at the emperor, and when he saw that the latter nodded thoughtfully, he continued:

"There was no heavy rain in the Soochow area this summer, and the news that came back during the southern tour also said that the wind and rain in the Soochow area were smooth, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Now that there is less rain in winter, how can there be a flood? ”

As soon as the old man's words came out, everyone was in heated discussions again.

Among them, there are not a few people who nod their heads and say yes, and those who oppose keep saying that they are opposed, and the reasons they find out are too far-fetched.

At this time, I only heard a young voice in the hall sneer:

"What Wu Shangshu said is reasonable and well-founded, but the news that the emperor got can still be fake? Who in the world has the courage to send fake news to the emperor? Is it a small Soochow County Order? It's really ridiculous and generous! ”

That Wu Shangshu felt that what he said was justified, and before he finished speaking, he was ridiculed by others and did not say anything, and he put pressure on the emperor to put pressure on him, and he jumped like thunder on the spot, and because of the emperor's presence, he didn't dare to attack, so he only glanced coldly at the person who spoke, and snorted coldly:

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Ruan Mingzhao, the son of Ruan Shangshu's family! A small seven-rank sesame official, who can just go to the court to the court, can say such uninformed words! ”

Ruan Tao's face suddenly turned ugly. Naturally, he and Ruan Mingzhao privately severed the father-son relationship, but the outside world did not know about it. As soon as the old man surnamed Wu spoke, he couldn't get off the stage.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Wu Shangshu say again: "Ruan Shangshu doesn't have to be ashamed, although the tiger father has no dog son, but Ruan Shangshu is so resourceful, but he has such a stupid son." I think your son is not your own! ”

When it came to this argument, Ruan Tao had to mutter, "It was not Lao Tzu's own birth" in his heart, and scolded Wu Shangshu.

Ruan Mingzhao couldn't mock others, but he was ridiculed by the old man, and he was ashamed and angry in his heart, but when he heard that the old man had offended Ruan Tao together, he suddenly felt a secret feeling in his heart, and he was also pleasing to the eye when he saw Wu Shangshu.

If it weren't for the fact that the outside world didn't know that he and Ruan Mingzhao had broken off their relationship, he would have wanted to rush over to help Wu Shangshu fight against Ruan Tao.

After a period of discussion, the emperor's ministers did not get any results, and Wu Shangshu and Ruan Tao and Ruan Mingzhao formed a one-sided relationship.

Qi Xiaoxian returned home and told Ruan Di in detail how Wu Shangshu and Ruan Mingzhao mocked each other in the court, and how Ruan Tao was implicated.

"The matter of the Soochow floods must have been manipulated by someone behind the scenes. There is some truth in what Wu Shangshu said. If you don't go to Soochow to investigate in person, it's hard to find out. ”

Ruan Di suddenly turned around and threw himself into Qi Xiaoxian's arms, looked at him and said, "Xiaoxiao, I want to go to the emperor and ask him to give me the authority to go to Dongwu to investigate." ”

Qi Xiaoxian's face was full of black lines again: "Madam, are you planning to seduce Xiaoxiao?" ”

Without waiting for Ruan Di to answer, Qi Xiaoxian turned over and pressed Ruan Di and kissed him.

The next day, Ruan Di met with the saint under Qi Xiaoxian's "introduction", and repeatedly assured the emperor that he could find out about the flood in Soochow.

The emperor immediately secretly gave Ruan Di four pins of the history of the assassination of Eastern Wu and asked her to go to Eastern Wu to investigate.

The history of the assassination of the current dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasties, the history of the assassination was directly selected by the emperor and secretly sealed, and the assassin history would not reveal his identity if it was absolutely necessary.

The assassin has the power to investigate everything in his own area, and the results of the investigation are reported directly to the emperor.

As a result, this position is quite dangerous, and it is often targeted and assassinated by corrupt officials.

In the past, the history of stabbing was all with stunts, and Ruan Di was a special case.

Qi Xiaoxian was very worried about Ruan Di's situation, and also asked the emperor to go with Ruan Di. But the emperor thought that the two of them would be too conspicuous if they went together, and it was easy to startle the snake.

Ruan Di insisted on going by herself, and only said that she would be very careful if she let Qi Xiaoxian and Ruan Tao pick them up in Beijing.

As soon as it was dawn, Ruan Di packed his luggage and boarded the ship to Soochow.

"Ruan Ruan, if you have something, you must tell me as soon as possible, don't solve it yourself. I'll be angry. ”

As he was about to leave, Qi Xiaoxian took Ruan Di's hand and admonished.

Ruan Di walked to the side of the boat, broke a willow by the water and handed it to Qi Xiaoxian: "I will be careful, you and my father are also careful, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me in the court, and pay more attention to what you say and do." ”

Qi Xiaoxian agreed, looked at the willow branch in his hand and said blankly: "What does it mean to give me a willow branch?" ”

"......" Ruan Di then remembered that in this dynasty, even in this world, there is no custom of folding willows to say goodbye......

"It's not interesting, it just represents nostalgia, if you give me a willow branch, it means retention." Ruan Di thought about it, and didn't plan to tell Qi Xiaoxian the allusion of folding willows to send him off. I said a meaning by myself.

"Madame, please go back to the cabin, the hour has come, it's time to leave."

On the other side of the boat, the old captain with a penny looked at the husband and wife reluctantly, and finally couldn't help urging.

"Wait!" Qi Xiaoxian reacted in a hurry, hurriedly broke a branch from the willow tree next to him, and handed it to Ruan Di. Only then did he spread his hand with Ruan Di, and watched Ruan Di go to the cabin without mentioning it.

Within two days, the ship docked at the wharf in Soochow County.

"Madam, Dongwu County has arrived."
