The foreman still drew the bet.

    Although he did not know who was instructing him, but they did the collapse of the river bank, this evidence is enough. Coupled with Jun Huailang's records and drawings, there are witnesses and physical evidence. With these, those responsible can start cleaning up.

    But Xue Yan suppressed all the evidence.

    "I know who it is." Xue Yan said to Jun Huailang when he took the paper. "I know all the people in Beijing and Jiangnan."

    Jun Huailang looked at him in surprise.

    I heard Xue Yan continue: "However, they are hiding well, and what they are doing now can be caught, but they can't be moved."

    Jun Huailang asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

    Xue Yan smiled at him when he heard this.

    "Since they didn't do it, let them do it." Xue Yan's fingers slowly tapped the table. "If you are forced to a certain level, even if you are guilty of punishing the Nine Clan, you will still give it a try, right?"

    Jun Huailang was stunned.

    Seeing Xue Yan leaning over, she said, "Their arrangement is really comprehensive, but if something goes wrong, it will be a cocoon."

    Speaking, he looked up at Jun Huailang: "At that time, it will be difficult for them to live."

     

    This feeling, even Jun Huailang's reason could not resist.

     Before he could speak, Xue Yan patted his forehead.

    "But you don't need to do these things. It's laborious and dirty." He raised his lips and smiled, and the sullenness in his eyes dissipated immediately. "You just watch, the person who wants to kill your father, how did he die."

    It took a moment for Jun Huailang to find his voice.

    "...Then, isn't this evidence useless?" he asked.

    Xue Yan laughed softly.

    "It's useless, it's useful. I keep it because it's useful," he said.

    Jun Huailang showed a puzzled look.

    I heard Xue Yan continue: "When their net wraps them around, these evidences, even if they can't be identified, will become the last rope to put away that net. ."

    He said: "After all, the king's suspicions never need evidence to really point to whom."

    —

    So from this day onwards, Jun Huailang did not mention the matter as if he did not know that the cause of the dam collapse was man-made.

    Jinling is still rainy.

    From the north, the city was flooded by 30% of the river. At present, the breach of the dam has not been repaired, and the river is still pouring into the city. It is temporarily blocked by the officers and soldiers with sand and stones, but if there is another heavy rain, it will be washed away immediately.

    So on the second day of the breach, Jun Huailang found Shen Zhifu.

    Nowadays, none of the officials in Jinling City have worked in the Ministry of Industry, let alone the construction of river embankments. Jinling's dam has been indestructible since it was repaired by the predecessor prefect more than ten years ago, and such a serious disaster has never happened before.

     Today's officials are helpless.

    But Jun Huailang is different. In his previous life, in order to find out the origin of his father's accusation of embezzling ink, he thoroughly studied the flood disaster in Jiangnan from beginning to end. Now he not only has a lot of research on the repair of dykes and water control, but also knows how to repair the dykes in his previous life.

    He found Shen Zhifu just to help him do this.

    With Xue Yan, the Xu family and Guo Rongwen don't have to worry about him anymore, and he doesn't have the ability of Xue Yan to let him fight against them.

    What he can do well, and what he must do, is to protect the people in Jinling City to the best of his ability in this life.

    About rebirth, he naturally couldn't tell Shen Zhifu directly. He only said that he was interested in water conservancy, studied many documents, and put forward his own opinions on how to build dams to Shen Zhifu.

    After hearing this, Shen Zhifu also felt that the method he proposed was feasible, so he agreed to put the repair of the embankment in the name of Duke Yongning, and then let him do it with full authority.

    Therefore, Jun Huailang led the officers, soldiers and supplies that he had been assigned to go out every morning and return at night, and went to the breach of the dam to find a suitable terrain orientation to dredge the river.

    Repairing the dikes is the most important thing now, in addition, there are tens of thousands of refugees in the city.

    The number of people who escaped and was rescued was huge, and they could not be accommodated in the city, so they were transferred to the southern suburbs. These days, officials in Jinling are busy with this.

    The houses of the affected people were destroyed, and most of their belongings were submerged by the river. Therefore, in addition to the simple food, clothing, housing and transportation, it has become a problem in Jinling City.

    The price of food in the city is soaring, and for a while, ordinary people are in danger.

    However, these do not affect the enjoyment of rich businessmen and gentry.

    These days, just after the flood has calmed down a little, a news has spread in the upper circles of Jinling.

    Qingyuefang in Chunshui Lane in the south of the city, the first night of the oiran will be auctioned in a few days.

    Liu Lane, Huajie Street, Jiangnan is not uncommon. It is common to hold one or two oiran in the brothel, and sell the girl's first night at a high price.

    But what was unusual this time was that the girl who was auctioned was the famous Yujing girl in Qingyuefang.

      A month ago, the head of the Yujing girl was shown, and she only danced to a drum, which shocked the four and made her name in the city.

    However, Qingyuefang treated this girl very dearly. After a month, she did not arrange for her to appear several times.

    The more this is the case, the more difficult it is to get a ticket for Qingyuefang. Many tycoons and wealthy businessmen spend a lot of money just to take a look at Miss Yujing.

    Now this girl is going to auction.

    What is even more unexpected is that Qingyuefang released rumors this time, and the highest bidder, if willing to pay ten times the price of the auction, can directly redeem the body of Yujing girl. people to take home.

    Everyone said that the owner of Qingyuefang must be unwilling to stay in Jinling for a long time. But even so, it can't stop many people from gearing up, wanting to hold the beauty back.

    For a time, because of the Yujing girl, Jinling City, which had been displaced from all over the place, was rarely restored to some degree of prosperity.

    The Jinling Mansion is solemn.

    The treasuries of various places will keep food, grass, gold and silver, which is reserved for disaster relief in such a catastrophe.

    Now the food has to be distributed to the victims, the gold and silver have to be counted and used to buy food and medicinal materials from the merchants, so the entire treasury has to be sorted out.

    A few days ago, Shen Zhifu was working on this. He also specifically asked Xue Yan about who would count the warehouse.

    "You can decide this kind of trivial matter by yourself?" At that time, Xue Yan raised his eyes lightly, and his eyes were obviously impatient. "Who does it on weekdays?"

    Shen Zhifu hurriedly said: "It's Guo Shilang under Duke Yongning."

    Xue Yan nodded and hid all the calculations in his eyes: "Then let him do it?"

    On weekdays, all matters of money, money, grain and grass are arranged for Guo Rongwen. Shen Zhifu did not know who the spy in the government was, and now he told Xue Yan that it was because of the large scale of the matter that he wanted to come to him. Report it.

    Hearing Xue Yan's approval, Shen Zhifu hurriedly responded and wanted to withdraw.

    At this moment, Xue Yan stopped him.

    “Wait,” he said.

    Shen Zhifu quickly stopped.

    Xue Yan asked: "Silver and grain, are they separate?"

    Shen Zhifu hurriedly said: "Yes."

    Xue Yan said: "It's too slow to do it alone. It's troublesome to count the food and grass, let Guo Rongwen go. As for the money, I don't worry about others, Shen Zhifu, you can count it yourself. The resettlement of the disaster victims, you pay first To Duke Yongning."

    Shen Zhifu quickly took orders and retreated.

    So, according to Xue Yan's arrangement, the two of them liquidated the grain and silver in the treasury. Today, the secret letter was delivered to Xue Yan's table.

    Sure.

    Xu Cong Anna knew that Yujing was going to be auctioned, and immediately started raising money. But how much money does he have on hand? This place is so far from the capital, he can't ask his family to ask for it, let alone ask his father for money to redeem a oiran.

    So, he found Guo Rongwen for the first time.

    The precious grandson of the three-generation Xu family asked him for money, even if Guo Rongwen did not have it, he would not dare to say that he did not. However, he had nowhere to collect this huge sum of money, even if he bought someone, he was a famous courtesan in Jinling.

    At this moment, the treasury of Jinling was handed over to him.

    Sure enough, he transported a large amount of grain around the first time. Taking advantage of the soaring grain prices in Jinling City, he sold the grain of the official family to the merchants, and made false accounts overnight, and The large holes were all fooled.

    But he didn't know that the merchant he found was someone Xue Yan had already bought.

    The merchant signed a contract in duplicate with Guo Rongwen in the name of running water, clearly stating how much food was bought and sold and how much was delivered.

      Signed and sealed.

     

    Xue Yan picked up the secret letter and smiled lightly.

    Now, Guo Rongwen's accusation of embezzling ink for disaster relief food has been confirmed. And the son of the Xu family publicly bought Hua Kui with a lot of money, and once the whereabouts of the money is traced, there is also a direction.

     

    Xue Yan slowly put away the letter.

     Jinbao next to him saw that he had read the letter, and hurriedly asked: "Master, the grain seller asked, what should I do next?"

    Xue Yan's actions paused.

    This has always been a problem for him. What he has to do is to induce Guo Rongwen to commit corruption and leave evidence. As for the grain seller, he suppressed Guo Rongwen's price by 10%, and the benefits from it are great. Now he just needs to seal the mouth of that person and let him not know about it after he makes a fortune in silence, that's enough.

    As for where the grain goes and who to sell it to, he is too lazy to care.

    But Xue Yan hesitated.

    He suddenly thought, if Jun Huailang knew that he used disaster relief food as a bait to lure Guo Rongwen into the bait, what would he think?

    He seems to... care about the people in the city who don't even recognize their faces, let alone know their names.

    Xue Yan paused and asked, "...Where did Jun Huailang go today?"

    Jinbao hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness went to the embankment early. I heard that after dark today, he came back from the embankment and went to the disaster camp in the south of the city."

    Sure enough. Xue Yan sighed.

    "...Spend 20% more to buy all the grain from the vendor." He put down the secret letter and said. "Tonight, it will be sent out of the city, and it will be said that I donated it."

    He has experienced warm and cold since childhood, and he has no parents to teach him to be a man. Naturally, he has no empathy and only knows how to weigh interests.

    But what can be done.

    He is not kind, but the person he loves is the most kind and soft-hearted.
