After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

However, Xiao Jingyi probably didn't expect that Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie misinterpreted his meaning and failed to understand the true meaning of "treating him well".

They simply believed that the evidence had been destroyed and Jamel Xiao could not find anything.

As long as they entertain the fifth prince well, he will naturally take people back to the capital if there are no results, and they can survive this disaster safely.

Naturally, Tao Guang would not say that someone told him in advance, only that the prefect informed him of the news in advance.

"Looking back at what the prince said, news came from the capital early in the morning. The prefect informed the official in advance and told the official to make preparations to welcome the two distinguished guests. The official estimated that you two should arrive, so he took the people early. We are waiting here. You two have an extraordinary temperament at first sight. Even if you are a humble official, you should have recognized it."

This flattery was so skillful that Jamel Xiao and Gu Jing'an felt a chill in their hearts.

Let’s not talk about whether the flood incident has something to do with him. Judging from his smooth-tongued and flattering manner, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Gu Jingan said with some disgust: "Okay, stop talking useless words. We are not here to listen to what you say. Mr. Tao must already know the purpose of our trip, so let's get to the point as soon as possible."

Tao Guang's heart skipped a beat when he heard Gu Jingan's words. He was about to get to the point just now. He didn't expect it.

These two looked different from ordinary children of aristocratic families. They were much more serious than he imagined. They seemed not so easy to deal with.

Tao Guang naturally didn't want them to start investigating so quickly, so he tried to delay it.

"You two have come a long way, and you must be tired after a long journey. I have already prepared wine and food for you to take care of yourself. Why don't you two have a meal first and then repair yourself? It won't be too late to start the investigation tomorrow."

Jamel Xiao originally wanted to refuse to start the investigation as soon as possible, but after thinking that the journey was indeed very hard and the guards needed a break, he agreed.

"That's fine, but there's no need to catch the wind and wash the dust. Just have a simple meal. I have Master Lao Tao."

Tao Guang felt proud when Jamel Xiao agreed. He had seen such scenes many times. He said he shouldn't be extravagant, but in fact he didn't want to enjoy it first.

He had already arranged a restaurant to entertain these two people.

"Yes, those two please follow me."

Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan followed Tao Guang all the way into the city, and the surrounding scene gradually became more prosperous.

They walked all the way from the capital, especially near Qinan, where there were desolate scenes everywhere.

Many people were displaced and homeless, and could only gather in refugee shelters and ruined temples outside the city, eating relief food every day.

The inside of the city and the outside of the city seemed to be two different worlds. The people in the city were doing everything as usual, and people were constantly passing through the streets and alleys, without being affected by the flood at all.

Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh at the difference.

The refugees outside the city have problems with food and clothing, but the people in the city still live a prosperous life.

There are countless officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and ordinary people cannot enter or exit at will.

"Master Tao, it seems that the people in Qinan City are doing as usual and have not been affected by the flood. There are so many refugees outside the city, and their lives are unsustainable. Why not help some of them?"

Tao Guang did not expect that Jamel Xiao would still care about these issues, and said respectfully: "Returning to the fifth prince, you have also seen along the way that there are many people affected by the disaster outside Qinan City, and the disaster relief funds allocated by the court are not enough to maintain their lives. Lord Prefect It took a lot of effort to ensure that the people inside the city were not affected, but there was really nothing we could do about the victims outside the city."

Zheng Haojie echoed: "Yes, Your Highness, there are many people affected by the disaster outside the city. If they are allowed to enter the city, not only will their food and clothing problems not be solved, but the safety of the people in the city will also be threatened. Therefore, we can only prevent them from entering the city for the time being. Send relief food to them. The governor also sent people to repair the shelters and try to make the victims live better."

After hearing what the two said, Jamel Xiao frowned slightly. As far as he knew, his father had allocated 200,000 taels of disaster relief funds this time. Judging from the number of victims they saw along the way, it should be enough.

According to what the two men just said, Qi Nan, the "prefect", was responsible for all of this.

Such a large amount of disaster relief funds could not help these victims. There must be something fishy about it. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to meet the prefect in person.

After making up his mind, Jamel Xiao said nothing more, and everyone came to the restaurant together.

Jamel Xiao looked up and saw that the restaurant in front of him was called Mingyu Tower. It was very luxuriously decorated, even as luxurious as his Tianxiang Tower.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, Prince Gu, this is the best restaurant in Qinan City, please."

Jamel Xiao felt a little unhappy when he heard this. He clearly agreed that he was just having a casual meal, so why did he come to such a luxurious restaurant.

But now that he had arrived at the door, Jamel Xiao didn’t say anything and just nodded.

But the next scene made Jamel Xiao furious and couldn't bear it anymore.

As soon as Jamel Xiao entered the restaurant, he found that there were no other guests here, and what he saw was tables filled with delicacies from all over the world.

Tao Guang said flatteringly: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, we have specially reserved a table today to entertain your two distinguished guests. These dishes are the most popular ones at Mingyu House. The chef here is very skilled and I guarantee that you two will be satisfied."

Jamel Xiao was furious when he saw all this. The victims outside the city had neither enough food nor clothing to eat, but these people were eating and drinking like it was a matter of course.

It really answered that sentence, the wine and meat smell of the rich family will freeze the bones to death.

"Master Tao, we have seen countless victims living in the open on this journey, but you are so extravagant and wasteful. Do you think it is appropriate to do this? If you have such ability, why not donate some money to help the victims."

After Jamel Xiao finished speaking, he walked away, not wanting to stay here any longer.

Seeing that Jamel Xiao was about to leave, Tao Guang was a little panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Your Highness, please listen to my explanation. You two have come a long way, and I should do my best to prepare the best for you two as a landlord. Since I learned that you two are coming, I have started to live frugally, just to give you two a clean break today."

Tao Guang originally wanted to get close to the two of them with this delicacy, but he didn't expect that the fifth prince couldn't get enough of him. His flattery was on the horse's hooves.

Tao Guang is related to Lord Luo, the prefect. He always walks sideways in Qinan City. No one dares to offend him. How has he ever been wronged like this?

If it weren't for the fact that they were relatives of the emperor and he couldn't afford to offend him, he wouldn't bother to curry favor with them, but in the end they wouldn't appreciate it.

Jamel Xiao didn't listen to what Tao Guang said and walked straight out, but Gu Jing'an stopped him.
