Shen Lingfei's disbelieving eyes turned to Chen Sisi and said: "I didn't kill your family, why are you seeking revenge from me?".

"It's you, it's you. It's you who are corrupt, pervert the law, and are greedy for money, so you are perfunctory and the dam collapses. It's you who have caused us to be like this."

Chen Sisi pointed at Shen Lingfei and Gu Mingrui.

Shen Lingfei couldn't say a word. He felt that what Chen Sisi said was right. Even if he was not the person who directly caused such a result, it was indirect. He felt guilty for what Chen Sisi said.

But Gu Mingrui was not like this. He sarcastically said: "Since we know what caused the result, why not go to the culprit to take revenge?".

Chen Sisi was asked and couldn't answer for a while.

Gu Mingrui answered for her: "Because you can't find it, you have grievances and nowhere to vent them, you can only vent them on innocent people.

You hate the rich, you hate the nobles, you think that rich people are not good people, even if you are receiving the benefits they bring, you still look down on them, right? ".

Gu Mingrui is talking about you, not you.

Shen Lingfei was frightened by Gu Mingrui's words. He didn't expect it to be like this.

Chen Sisi was not afraid of being told what she meant, and said: "Isn't that the truth?"

She was indeed not alone. Many refugees told her so, and she thought so too.

Gu Mingrui sneered, "Fact? I'll tell you what the truth is. The truth is that some officials are stupid and immoral, and they are protecting you with their lives."

His Highness Ninth Prince and Miss Qing have asked for help on your behalf, opened the palace gates and sheltered the powerful, lowered the price of food and medicine, and took the lead in helping you.

You say he is pretending to be a good person, but you know exactly what he has done in the past few days, and there are many such people, but you all turn a blind eye and enjoy their help as a matter of course.

All powerful people are bad, it’s just your inferiority complex that is causing trouble, and you really regard yourself as a victim of mercy.”

Gu Mingrui's words made Chen Sisi feel ashamed. He not only said it to Chen Sisi, but also to other refugees who were still pretending to sleep.

He is an ant who climbed out of the slums of Beicheng and struggled to survive in the Ministry of Industry. He understands the thoughts of these refugees and can see clearly the true and false among the powerful.

Shen Lingfei was also awakened by Gu Mingrui's words and no longer blamed himself.

Chen Sisi was taken away by Qing Xiao's people. Shen Lingfei didn't know what she would face next, but she still begged for Chen Sisi.

The moment Chen Sisi was taken away, Shen Lingfei heard Chen Sisi's soft apology.

He didn't blame Chen Sisi, she was just assimilated.

The next day, the attitude of the refugees was obviously different. They began to say thank you and help themselves.

Shen Lingfei put his arm around Gu Mingrui's shoulders. He was not as tall as Gu Mingrui and could only stand on tiptoes.

Patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, this time, you win."

Gu Mingrui turned to look at him, as if looking at an idiot.

In the Taiwei's mansion, Ye Xin smashed many things angrily. Jia Huo knelt on the ground and shivered, looking down at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Ye Xin shouted: "You are asked to make money. Who asked you to do so much on the city protection dam? There is a lot of rain in spring, and the dam is so vulnerable. How could your Majesty not re-examine it? Jia Huo, you are It’s really stupid.”

Ye Xin's hand pressed firmly against Jia Huo's head. Jia Huo grabbed the hem of Ye Xin's clothes in fear and knelt down to Ye Xin's feet regardless of whether there were broken pieces of porcelain on the ground.

He begged: "Your Majesty Taiwei, please save me. I have seniors and juniors above me. I don't want to die. I am working for you. You can't ignore me."

Jia Huo cried with snot and tears. Ye Xin kicked him away in disgust. Jia Huo knelt down again, his knees were dripping with blood, but he couldn't care anymore. Nothing is more important than living now.

He continued: "Master Taiwei, you must find a way to save me. I am still useful and I can still help you."

This sentence is correct, Jia Huo is still useful, and he cannot die now. Ye Xin seriously thinks about how to keep Jia Huo.

Ye Xin saw Xiao Si passing by, and a stern look flashed in his eyes. He knew how to protect Jia Huo.

He looked down at the kneeling Jia Huo and said: "Destroy all the evidence, whether it is human testimony or physical evidence, if you can destroy it, and shut up if you can't destroy it. It is normal for floods to wash away some things. No one will doubt it." ".

Jia Huo seemed to see hope of survival, and nodded quickly: "Yes, I will do it now."

Jia Huo wanted to stand up, but his knees hurt so much that he couldn't stand up. Ye Xin looked at him with disgust and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious?"

He continued to add: "Do something to prove that the last time to consolidate the dam was done by Gu Mingrui. You didn't know anything about it. Find a few witnesses to prove that Gu Mingrui insisted on going his own way and used his own plan to consolidate the dam. Be careful and don't miss anything." .

Jia Huo said stubbornly: "My lord is worthy of being a lord. This plan kills two birds with one stone. It can not only remove the suspicion, but also get rid of Gu Mingrui.

This Gu Mingrui is very rigid. He doesn't take hard or soft advice. He only believes in national laws. He has offended many people in the Ministry of Industry and has blocked me from doing things many times. I have long wanted to get rid of him.

Your Excellency is so wise and powerful that you can get rid of people in one go."

Jia Huo's praise was very helpful to Ye Xin. Ye Xin looked complacent, but he didn't know that his words had been heard long ago.

Xizhu sat on the roof, listened completely to the conversation between the two, and disappeared into the dark night.

When he appeared again, in front of Yan Siyuan, Xizhu told Yan Siyuan everything he heard.

Yan Siyuan lowered his eyes and thought deeply. Xizhu did not dare to disturb him and turned around to leave.

At the door, I saw Song Heqing who was guarding the door. Song Heqing was dressed in mysterious clothes as usual, with his hands folded across his chest and holding a sword, standing blankly at the door.

It was only after Xizhu came out that he had some reaction and asked, "How about some tonight?"

Xizhu glanced at him and replied: "No, I want to guard Miss Qing secretly."

At this moment, Huaizuo came over with a tray, heard Xizhu's words, and asked: "Why do you need to keep guarding her?".

Xizhu was silent, and Song Heqing said: "Maybe he is afraid that she is in danger."

"What does it have to do with us that she is in danger?".

"It has nothing to do with us, but it does have something to do with His Highness. The specific relationship is beyond our control."

Xizhu's tone was a little cold, and the look he looked at Huai Zuo was not very good.

Huaizuo stopped talking and walked in with the tray without announcing anything.

Song Heqing put his hand on Xizhu's shoulder and said, "Why do you say you are so fierce? Just speak slowly and Huaizuo will understand."

Xizhu: "I'm afraid she knows how to pretend she doesn't know. Instead of giving her hope, it's better to crush all illusions."

Song Heqing clicked his tongue twice, "How cruel."

Xizhu ignored him and turned to leave.

In the study room, Huaizhu placed the cakes on the tray next to Yan Siyuan.

Yan Siyuan frowned and said in a clear tone: "Don't eat in the study, take it out."

Huaizuo was startled, took the pastries back and said, "Your Highness, don't work too hard, and rest early."

"Ok".

Yan Siyuan didn't look at her, still thinking about things.

Huaizhu didn't dare to disturb anymore and went out again with the tray.

Song Heqing was not surprised when he saw the tray she brought in and out. It would be a real surprise if Yan Siyuan stayed.
