She was originally from Hongbin, and her home was in Hongbinhe, a tributary of the Lanjiang River. Huang He's voice lowered, "The Lanjiang River was flooded, her husband and son died, and she and her daughter fled to Shengyi to make a living as a female celebrity." These days, she heard some people in the market talk that it was the Longkou Weir built by the Tiangong Bureau that caused the flooding of the Lanjiang River, but she didn't have the courage, so she paid to find a splash to come to our door to make it bad. ”

When he said this, he was also worried that Yan Saburo would be depressed, and then said: "Young master, don't be disturbed by these mediocre people, when the cause of the Lanjiang River flood is revealed, they will naturally have no way to hold grudges." ”

Yan Saburo snorted and didn't ask him what to do with the woman. Huang He is doing things safely, and he is still relieved.

"You shouldn't have given money, right?" the white cat's tail was cocked high: "The Lanjiang flood has nothing to do with us, and we shouldn't pay for this pension." Well, it's time for Huang Da to intimidate her. ”

Before Huang He could answer, there were two chirpings outside, but it was Huang San and Huang Si who led people in:

Hu Qiu.

"Young Master. Hu Qiu first saluted Yan Saburo, and then said, "There was an accident in the south, and the Qingyuliao was seized by the state officials, and we will have to find someone else to escort our business in the future." ”

Everyone was shocked: "On what charges is it seized?"

"Collusion with water bandits!"

Yan Saburo's brows furrowed: "Qingyuliao colluded with water bandits?"

The white cat said, "Very likely." Mao Dingsheng's subordinates were not good citizens in the first place. You send your order to the south, and let them find another trustworthy partner. In the past two years, the Lanjiang River has been rampant, and she also knows it.

Yan Saburo said: "Qingyuliao has cooperated with us for a long time. Now that the herring fish liao has been seized, I'm afraid that the sparks will also jump on us. ”

Hu Qiu scratched his head: "There are many businesses that cooperate with Qingyuliao, and the fleet going south has to deal with it three or four times out of ten." ”

"But other businesses are not like me, and they have some old friendships with Mao Dingsheng. Yan Sanlang's heart was clear, and he instructed Hu Qiudao, "I will repair a book, and you will send it to the Protector's Mansion to give it to Mrs. He." ”

Hu Qiu responded.

......

In the evening of the same day, He Xiaoyuan replied:

Seven days ago, King Wei summoned Mao Dingsheng into the palace and admonished Han Zhao and several old ministers in front of Han Zhao and several old ministers in the imperial study.

This "one" lasted for more than an hour.

Mao Dingsheng was scolded so dejectedly that he was like a quail beaten by frost when he left the palace.

Yan Saburo put down the letter paper and said firmly: "The herring fish liao is finished." ”

Qingyuliao was found out to collude with water bandits and eat money at both ends, so the end is not good.

Chitose also read the contents of the letter, and pointed at his soft cheeks: "Xiao Mi still left a little thin noodles for Mao Dingsheng, otherwise he wouldn't just ask him to go into the imperial study and scold." "I didn't expose this matter during the court meeting, Xiao Mi just didn't want the consequences to expand again.

After all, the most difficult problem at the moment is the flooding of the Lanjiang River.

"Mao Dingsheng has a special identity. Yan Saburo also muttered, "The king doesn't want to dispose of him. ”

Mao Dingsheng was originally the leader of the rebel army, no matter what reason Xiao Mi used to punish him, it was inevitable that others would think too much. The former commander of Mao is now just an idler, and he no longer poses any threat to the Xiao family.

"What are you thinking?" Chitose looked sideways at him, "It must have more to do with Mao Dingsheng." ”

"I'm thinking, how likely is it that the king will think that I colluded with Qingyuliao to blackmail the Fenglai Canal?"

Asura crossed his shoulders from behind his head and crossed over his chest. "It's very big, especially after the flooding of the Lanjiang River, after you have been asleep for half a year and can't refute yourself. ”

She pressed her chin into his shoulder socket: "Maybe he will still think that even if you are innocent and have no collusion, it is difficult to ensure that your subordinates do not have evil thoughts." After all, Fenglai Mountain is thousands of miles away from here, and you can't control the hearts of the people there. ”

Yan Saburo took a deep breath.

......

The next day was another sunny day, and the sun was shining.

Yan Saburo dispelled the idea of going out early in the morning, because there was a rumor in the palace:

King Wei wants to come to the Invitation Garden for dinner at noon.

Today, the royal court is resting, the officials are not in the court, and Xiao Mi certainly has a day off. Usually he had already planned this day, but the trip to Jingyuan seemed to be impromptu, because the courtiers usually had to prepare for the king's visit for more than three days.

Invite Jingyuan has been busy since receiving the news, and the next person has sprinkled and cleaned the house garden, and the kitchen has urgently arranged and prepared vegetables.

Before the time came, the famous garden of this grand town opened its doors to welcome the king.

Xiao Mi strode in from outside, grabbed Yan Saburo's arm when he saw him, and sighed: "I'm going to be tired and lonely these days! I didn't get up until I slept until midnight today, and being able to sleep for a day is more delicious than any delicacy!"

Yan Saburo smiled reservedly, as always: "The king is tired." ”

"Lone is jealous of you!" Xiao Mi glared at him viciously, "Lone is willing to exchange ten thousand gold for a floating life and be idle for another day!"

"Those who can work harder. Yan Saburo shrugged his shoulders, "I'm incompetent and incompetent, so I have to hide in the Invitation Garden." Speaking of this, he changed his words, "Is there any good news about the flooding of the Lanjiang River?"

"Sort of it, the deceased who can be recovered have taken care of the aftermath, and the living are basically settled, and food and accommodation are arranged. Xiao Mi sighed, "The last wave of the flood peak has passed, and the water has retreated." If you count the time, you may still have time to plant another crop of winter wheat, and the flooded soil will be fertile so that next summer there will be a harvest that will make up for the loss. ”

He is a king, and now that a natural disaster has occurred, the most important thing is the remedy: "Of course, the premise is that the flood does not come again." ”

This sentence is very unsubstantial. No matter how strong the country is, it depends on the sky, and who can guarantee that there will be no floods in the last few months of this year?

He looked at Yan Saburo: "Is there any news at the entrance of Shura Road?"

Yan Saburo shook his head: "I sent a monster into the water to inspect, and so far there has been no news back." ”

Xiao Mi walked with his hands in his hands: "Then, maybe that entrance won't appear again." No one can say for sure about this kind of space-time rift, right?"

He was reasonable, Yan Saburo nodded, but in his heart he always felt that things would not be resolved so smoothly.

"If that's the case, that's for the best. As for Zhang Xianlong, Lone will say it for you. ”

"Thank you. Yan Saburo then asked, "If I can really find out the cause of the flood, the crime is not in the Tiangong Bureau, can the Xicheng Project still be handed over to me?"

Xiao Mi was silent for a few breaths and patted Yan Saburo on the shoulder: "It's best to have a beginning and an end." ”

Speaking of this, he said seriously: "At the beginning of the year, you have been back for more than a year, and it is time to consider joining the office." If you like to build a lot of construction, you can be transferred to the Ministry of Engineering. ”

Yan Saburo laughed and laughed: "Do you grab jobs with the people in the Ministry of Industry?"

"With you, lonely is more assured. Xiao Mi snorted coldly, "Don't you know what kind of place it is?"
