As soon as these words came out, Tao Guang was obviously panicked and glanced at Zheng Haojie unconsciously.

Neither of them expected that Jamel Xiao would pay attention to a small channel leader, and they didn't know how to explain it for a while.

The canal director's name is Liu Wenming. He is timid and fearful. He is over forty years old and is still just a small canal director.

Although Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie are in charge of the construction of the dam, they are not directly in charge. If they want to cut corners and embezzle public funds, Liu Wenming will definitely find out.

Therefore, the two of them had to let Liu Wenming board their pirate ship together, and at most they would share some benefits with him.

Who would have thought that Liu Wenming was too timid to do such a thing.

But Liu Wenming already knew about the two men's plan, so naturally he couldn't let him go easily, so he used his family to blackmail Liu Wenming into participating in their plan.

Liu Wenming had no choice but to agree in order to survive for himself and his family, and successfully helped the two complete their plan to embezzle public funds.

After all, Liu Wenming was not one of their own, and the two of them were not very relieved about him. They originally wanted to kill him to silence him, but unexpectedly a flood broke their plan.

The two of them did not expect that the incident would come to light so soon. At this juncture, if Liu Wenming died, it would be too conspicuous and would arouse others' suspicion, so they gave up for the time being.

Before Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan arrived, they had already told Liu Wenming in advance to destroy all evidence and reminded him not to talk nonsense.

However, the two of them were not at ease with Liu Wenming after all. With his timid temperament, it was not impossible for him to say the wrong thing in front of Jamel Xiao, so they simply refused to let him show up.

Jamel Xiao is a prince, and he may not pay attention to him as a small channel leader, so there is no need for them to create extra problems.

But now that Jamel Xiao took the initiative to ask about the channel director, Liu Wenming had to show up.

Zheng Haojie received Tao Guang's look for help and explained: "To return to Your Highness, our channel director is timid and has not seen much of the world. Lord Tao was worried that he would lose his composure in front of you, so he did not let him come."

Tao Guang hurriedly agreed: "That's exactly the case, but since His Highness wants to see him, I will immediately send someone to inform him."

Jamel Xiao saw all the eye contact between the two. He knew that what they were telling was not the truth, but he did not expose them. Today, he wanted to see how many flaws they could reveal.

Jamel Xiao didn’t say a word, just nodded.

Tao Guang ordered the servant: "Go and inform Liu Wenming that His Highness the Fifth Prince wants to see him and ask him to come over soon. Please tell him to be well prepared and not to lose his composure in front of the distinguished guests."

The meaning of the last sentence was very clear, asking him to remind Liu Wenming how he should behave when he met Jamel Xiao and not to talk nonsense.

The young man understood and said respectfully: "Yes, sir, I understand."

Jamel Xiao grew up in the palace, so how could he not hear this hint in language.

He was now more and more certain that their suspicions yesterday were correct, but further evidence was needed.

After ordering the boys, Tao Guang flattered Xiao Jamxuan again: "Your Highness, let's set off first. You can see the canal director Liu Wenming when you come back soon."

Jamel Xiao nodded when he heard this and went straight out the door.

After Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan went out first, Tao Guang took a few steps slowly and came to Zheng Haojie.

Tao Guang whispered: "It seems that we all underestimated the fifth prince. He can actually pay attention to a small channel leader. They will definitely question Liu Wenming later. He won't reveal any tricks, right? If he leaks If there is anything, then we can’t eat and walk away.”

"Don't worry, sir. I have repeatedly warned him. There will be no problem. Besides, the lives of him and his family are in our hands. He knows what to say and what not to say."

Tao Guang felt a little relieved after hearing this, "Maybe we were right to threaten him to join. If it were anyone else, he might not be as obedient as him. And although he is timid, he is quite considerate in his work and saves us a lot of trouble." Less trouble."

"The official also thinks that he has done a good job in this matter. When this matter is over, you may consider letting him truly join us. It would be a pity to kill him."

Tao Guang felt that Zheng Haojie's words were reasonable, "We can consider it and discuss this matter later. I hope he won't give us trouble. Let's follow him first, so as not to be discovered by the fifth prince."

Zheng Haojie nodded and quickly followed Jamel Xiao and Gu Jing'an together with Tao Guang.

In less than a stick of incense, they arrived at their destination.

Looking around, the river bank was in a mess and devastated.

There are only ruins of the dike, and collapsed stone barriers have blocked the road.

Although the weather is calm at the moment, looking at the current scene, one can fully imagine what a shocking scene it would be like when the flood started.

Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan observed the situation nearby, but they couldn't see anything from a distance.

The two looked at each other and finally decided to go over and take a closer look.

Seeing that the two of them were about to go forward, Tao Guang was a little anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to block their way.

"Your Highness, what are you two doing?"

Jamel Xiao glanced at Tao Guang and said matter-of-factly: “Go and have a look.”

Tao Guang didn't expect that after seeing this scene, they would go over to take a look. He immediately panicked and racked his brains to stop them.

"Your Highness, you see there are only some ruins left, and there is nothing left to see. Moreover, rocks may roll down from this dam at any time. It is too dangerous for you two to go there."

Tao Guang said, winking at Zheng Haojie and gesturing for his help in persuasion.

Zheng Haojie understood and agreed: "Yes, Your Highness, Mr. Tao's concern is necessary. Besides, you see that this road is blocked, and it is impossible to get through."

Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan both smiled when they heard this. They were obviously looking for excuses not to let them go to check.

The more they behave like this, the more it means there is something wrong here, and it becomes even more important to go and take a look.

Gu Jing'an said nonchalantly: "You two adults, don't worry, this matter won't trouble us. If you are worried about danger, you can wait here and we will go there by ourselves. Please wait a moment, adults. We will be back soon."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them performed Qing Gong, and within a moment they had reached the shore.

Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie didn't have time to say another word. By the time they reacted, the two people around them had already landed firmly by the embankment.

The two looked at each other, a little dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the two people's Qing Gong was so powerful, and this so-called obstacle couldn't trouble them at all.

Seeing this scene, Tao Guang immediately panicked. They didn't expect that this place had been destroyed by the flood and that someone would go over to check it. The evidence here was not processed at all.
