When the two returned to Jinling City, the disaster had been initially brought under control, and the rain had gradually stopped.

     

    The two of them rushed all the way to the government office.

    Unexpectedly, Shen Zhifu was already waiting outside the prefecture. When Jun Huailang got off the bus, he saw Shen Zhifu standing in front of Xue Yan who got off the bus first, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

      "

    Xue Yan said lightly: "I don't need your people, I have someone available myself."

    Shen Zhifu's face was even more troubled.

    "It's just that these people...I don't know if they are refugees or bandits. If they are imprisoned all of a sudden, it will attract criticism!"

    Without waiting for Xue Yan to speak, he hurriedly continued: "Suddenly the city suffered such a catastrophe, and many refugees were displaced and fled everywhere. Now there are rumors in the city... that you have detained innocent people for no reason. The refugees have also beaten them as bandits, and now everyone in the city is panicking!"

    Jun Huailang heard that it was Xue Yan's decision today, which caused rumors.

    The city is already suffering from disasters, and the most taboo is the uncertainty of people's hearts. I don't know if someone deliberately spread the rumors, or if there are too many arrests today, it is eye-catching, or...

    Or are they really mixed with ordinary people?

    At the moment of the catastrophe, a little incitement to the surrounding people can make others join their ranks. As long as ordinary people are mixed in with their people, then all of them will be detained in the name of the bandits, and it will cause riots.

    Jun Huailang realized that the person behind him must have been well prepared and calculated every step of the way.

    When Xue Yan heard this, he frowned and didn't take it seriously: "As long as we don't make trouble, what effect will it have?"

    He listened to the misunderstandings of others a lot, and it has long since become a habit, and he is also used to being arbitrary, and he does not pay attention to the words of others at all.

    I was too lazy to explain to Shen Zhifu.

    Shen Zhifu hesitated to speak, but still blocked him.

    Jun Huailang hurried forward.

    "Your Majesty," he said. "The reason why the lord doesn't let people go is that someone in the academy is indeed plotting things."

    Shen Zhifu hurriedly asked: "Where did the prince know?"

    Jun Huailang handed the blueprint in his hand to Shen Zhifu.

    "The prefect, look, this is the state of the dam collapse today. The place where it collapsed is clearly not the erosion of the river, but someone deliberately excavated from the city and damaged the dam."

    Shen Zhifu was surprised: "How can this be!"

    Jun Huailang continued: "The place where the dam was destroyed is where the official road was repaired a few days ago. And that day, when I returned from the academy, I happened to meet a group of road-repairing migrant workers. One of the foreman of the school is the one who took the lead in causing trouble in the academy today."

    Shen Zhifu froze in place.

    Jun Huailang continued: "Lord Prefect, all this can never be a coincidence. Someone will destroy the dam and go to the academy to try to hurt the students. Such a person can actually work for the government...Sir, You should know why the lord imprisoned them all, right?"

    Shen Zhifu said: "You mean...the people in the government...?"

    Jun Huailang nodded.

    "This matter can only be handled by the lord," he said. "Otherwise, it will always alarm other people."

    For a moment, Shen Zhifu nodded.

    In this way, Xue Yan's notoriety has become an umbrella. Xue Yan was ruthless and arrested all the people for no apparent reason. Instead, he would reassure the people behind the scenes that he didn't show his fault.

    "Therefore, these things must not be known to others." Jun Huailang said. "Please let the prefect of the prefect come out and say that this group of people hurt the students in the academy, and the situation is extremely tragic. It was only when the King of Guangling came across that he would arrest everyone, just to vent his anger on the students."

    Shen Zhifu pondered: "Instead of washing away the prince's notoriety, we will expand the notoriety of those bandits, which will not only appease the people's hearts, but also have a deterrent effect, and at the same time, it can also make the mother and queen relax their vigilance. ?"

    Jun Huailang nodded.

    For a moment, Shen Zhifu sighed: "Yongning Gong really taught you very well."

    Jun Huailang knew that this was Shen Zhifu agreeing to his proposal.

    He continued: "Then, please also promise me that you must not tell anyone...not even my father."

    Because he knew that those who interfered with it would most likely be under his father's command.

    Shen Zhifu nodded in agreement, and then said after a moment: "If there are such people in the government...then Jinling suffered such a big disaster, it's all my fault that the officials don't know who they are."

    Jun Huailang shook his head.

    "Your prefect is right," he said. "It's the people who set this up behind the scenes."

    Shen Zhifu responded. At this moment, an official came and asked Shen Zhifu about the resettlement of the refugees.

    Shen Zhifu couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye first.

    Jun Huailang sent Shen Zhifu away.

    He turned around, and was about to talk to Xue Yan, only to find that Xue Yan was staring at him, not knowing how long.

    The eyes were fiery, with a lazy smile, which made Jun Huailang's heart tighten.

    "...What are you looking at." His voice lowered involuntarily.

    Xue Yan smiled faintly.

    Then, Xue Yan raised his hand, and his knuckles scratched lightly on his cheek.

    "I don't see it," he said. "It's a lot of crazy ideas."

    —

    It wasn't until Jun Huailang sat down in the cell that the heat on his face dissipated.

    Jin Yiwei brought him a Taishi chair with thick cushions. Jun Huailang sat down there, and hot tea was delivered to him.

    He looked up, and the foreman was tied in front of him.

    Because of Jun Huailang's previous orders, the foreman didn't suffer much. At this time, he was tied to the frame, with only Xue Yan's injuries all over his body.

    The rest of the place can't be seen, except the nose bridge is bruised and red.

    "I don't like torture." Jun Huailang took a sip of tea and said. "However, I have all the information related to you now."

    The foreman raised his head slowly.

    Jun Huailang continued: "You supervise the road construction project, and all the workers obey your orders. Except for the officials, no one can enter or leave the construction site, and you are digging on the dam. Now that the city has suffered such a big disaster and so many people have died, even if you don’t say anything, we can directly ask all the workers who build the road, the whole family, and the young.”

    The foreman looked at him.

    Jun Huailang met his gaze: "So, I am giving you a chance today, not for you and your subordinates to live, but for you to save the rest of your family. Chance."

    Speaking, he slowly put down the teacup.

    "Chopped all over the door...I don't like it very much."

    "I have a wife and children at home, you know that?" The foreman laughed hoarsely and said.

    Jun Huailang looked at him quietly.

    The man was silent for a long time.

    "But I can't save them either," he said. "I know what you want to ask. Who am I being driven by, what orders have they given, and how many people in all have conspired with me, right?"

    Jun Huailang did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.

    The man laughed self-deprecatingly.

    "I don't know if you ask me."

    Jun Huailang frowned.

    Listen to him.

    "I am a native of Jinling, and I don't know who gave me the order. I only know that if I don't do things for them, my wife and children will suffer, but if I do , there will be a large amount of money sent to my hands.

    What they asked me to do is what you see now. Destroy the dykes and cause disasters in Jinling, and then rush to the academy, kill and injure as many scholars as they can. As for those people under my command... I can only order them when I do things, but they and I don't know the details of each other. Someone is looking at us, and we can never reveal it to Hu Xiang. "

    Jun Huailang's eyes sank.

    What this person said, although there is no effective information, but it is consistent with the information he has found before.

    He doesn't seem to be lying.

    However...how could someone make such an arrangement in the well-ordered Jinling City under the eyes of Xue Yan?

    "...When did those people find you?" Jun Huailang was silent for a moment and asked.

    "Three years ago," said the man.

    Jun Huailang was surprised: "Three years ago?"

    "Yes," he said. "It's just that at that time, they didn't tell me what they wanted me to do. I was originally from the rivers and lakes, and settled in Jinling after getting married. At that time, I fought with people and seriously injured them, which made my family debts and desperate. They paid for me. One family solved the crisis, and after that, they let me take orders from them."

    Jun Huailang suddenly realized what was the reason for the tragedy of Jinling City and Jun's family in the past life, the inevitable in this life, and the hard-to-find minions in the official team.

    Because the people behind it had already made arrangements, and before they came, they had already compiled a tight net.

    Whoever steps in will die without a place to be buried.

    The south of the Yangtze River is rich in rain. It is not uncommon for rivers to be diverted and dams to burst.

    The people behind it are already prepared. They buried their own people in Jinling City, leaving no traces on weekdays, but as long as there are officials dispatched in Beijing, they can use the original layout to pull the other party into the quagmire.

    First, the sudden disaster, and then the uprising of refugees, caused a large number of casualties among the Jiangnan students gathered in Jinling to prepare for the exam. After that, he used the chaos to greed for gold and silver, and framed it for the officials who came.

    In this way, they not only achieve the purpose of harming others, but also make a lot of money from it.

    Even if the people who come here are not the ones they want to harm, but their own subordinates, then this arrangement will not fail. As long as these arranged people make some riots, and then let them solve it, direct and perform a play, the political achievements will naturally be achieved.

    Jun Huailang's back felt cold.

    Those people treated the rest of the officials and the people of Dayong as pawns for their benefit.

    Its heart can be punished.

    He slowly stood up from the seat, waved his hand, and signaled the Jinyiwei around him not to follow, and walked out of the cell alone.

    It's ridiculous, he can see through every move of the opponent now, but because the opponent moved too early and hid too deep, even if he knew about the situation in the DPRK in his previous life, he had a general idea in his heart direction, and it is impossible to determine who did it.

    

    He slowly walked out of the cell, immersed in his own thoughts.

    At this moment, he suddenly hit a chest.

    Hard and sturdy, filled with a long and somber sandalwood.

    "What's wrong?" Xue Yan asked with his head lowered.

    Jun Huailang didn't know, when he raised his head, bloodshot eyes flashed.

    The water is looming, and it looks particularly pitiful.

    Xue Yan took him into his arms with one hand.

    "Okay, it's alright." He raised his other hand, pressed it behind Jun Huailang's head, and forced his face into his neck.

    "Isn't it out? It's okay, I have everything."
