I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

In late spring in the south of the Yangtze River, a piece of grass grows and warblers fly.

Now it's just March, and the snow in Chang'an should have just melted away, but the vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River has already grown gratifyingly.In particular, the plantains in Jinling Governor's Mansion are growing very well this year, and you can see a refreshing green color from a distance through the window pane.

It's just that the weather this year is not so good.

Since the beginning of spring, the rain in the south of the Yangtze River has never stopped.When it rains a lot, moss will grow on the walls, and the air will be very humid, making people feel uncomfortable.

It rained for several days in a row, until today, the sky finally cleared up.

Early in the morning, as soon as Jun Huailang got up, Fuyi opened his doors and windows, saying that he wanted to bask in the sun.

"But it's rare for the sun to clear up!" When Jun Huailang was using the food, Fuyi was still smiling beside him. "When I came here last year, I didn't hear that it always rains in spring in the south of the Yangtze River? But today, the sun finally came out, so it's more comfortable."

The maids and servants in the room were all happy.Most of Jun Huailang's servants came from Chang'an in one year.Chang'an is drier, who has lived through such a wet spring?

Although Jun Huailang smiled faintly and nodded, he was not very happy in his heart.

He looked up and glanced out the window.

The buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly white walls and black tiles.The sun is just right now, and the early morning sun shines brightly on the green bamboo plantains and rockery pavilions outside. The green shadows in front of the white walls and black tiles are swaying, and the koi pond in the courtyard is sparkling, which looks so beautiful very.

He sighed without a trace, and turned his eyes away.

He knew that it was not rainy in spring in the south of the Yangtze River, but that it rained a lot this spring.

In summer, there will be heavy rains in the south of the Yangtze River, causing the river to swell and flood the farms and houses.The previous life was the summer of this year, when the south of the Yangtze River was flooded and the capital was shaken, the emperor urgently sent an imperial decree, asking his father to take orders in the face of danger to control the flood.

Since then, there has been a huge shortage of funds and food for disaster relief, the outbreak of plague in the south of the Yangtze River, the uprising of refugees, and the beheading of his father...all in this year.

So this year, he has been preparing for this summer.His father is the chief examiner of the imperial examination in the Jiangnan area this year. He is now in the Jiangnan area, not the capital, so he has to avoid suspicion and cannot participate in this year's imperial examination like in his previous life.

But it also provided him with some convenience.He is now eighteen, and it is said that he has reached the age to be an official in the imperial examination.But now that he has to stay at home for another three years, he has a lot of free time.

He then discussed with his father and let him go to the yamen to do some chores when he had nothing to do on weekdays.After his father agreed, he was able to go in and out of the Jinling government office frequently and get access to some files and accounts.When they go out to inspect, he can also accompany them.

As for the officials who came with his father, who is in charge of the transcription, who is in charge of the accounts, and what kind of person they are, he has figured out the general idea.

Jun Huailang knew that among the people who assassinated his father in the previous life, there must be officials close to him.

There are many complicated affairs on weekdays, and his father certainly cannot handle them alone. After making a decision, he distributes it to everyone for implementation.The only thing that could make his father indicted for the crime of corruption and not show any traces was the officials around him who were helping him.

And this person can do these things without worrying about the future, because there are some Beijing officials behind him to support him.

What he has to do is to find the person who did this for him by his father's side, prevent him, and then find out the mastermind behind him.

Jun Huailang's eyes were empty, and his thoughts drifted away involuntarily.Seeing that he hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time, Fu Yi quickly asked, "What are you looking at, Young Master?"

Just then, a swallow chirped and flew to his eaves.

Jun Huailang silently withdrew his gaze.

"Ah, I see a swallow came up from the eaves." Jun Huailang smiled faintly, picked up the chopsticks again and said. "If it wants to make a nest there, don't drive it away. It's raining a lot this year, let it take shelter there."

Fu Yi smiled and heyed, nodded in response, "The young master is always so kind."

At this moment, a young man ran in from the outside.

"Master, Master Shen handed over the post, asking if Master has time today!" said the boy.

Jun Huailang raised his head: "Liufeng? Why did he come so early, is he taking a rest today?"

The servant hurriedly replied: "Young Master Shen said that he was taking a rest in the academy today. He is used to waking up early and couldn't fall asleep, so he rushed to find you earlier because of the good weather today. We will go out with you and have a drink."

Jun Huailang couldn't help laughing out: "No wonder you're so active, it's because you're greedy for alcohol."

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Let Liufeng wait in the front hall, I'll come when I change my clothes."

The boy took orders and retreated.

Fuyi then came forward to wait for Jun Huailang to wash and change clothes.

This Shen Liufeng is the only son of the prefect of Jinling, but speaking of it, he is not the prefect's biological son.

Shen Zhifu of Jinling City lost his wife in his early years, and never remarried after that.Shen Liufeng was the only son of his late brother, so he was recorded in the magistrate's name and raised by him as his own son. Now he is twenty, and he is currently studying at Linjiang Academy in Jinling City.

Last year, Jun Huailang also had some selfish intentions when he met Shen Liufeng.When they first arrived in Jinling, Jun Huailang wanted to investigate the local officials, but because of their different generations, he wanted to start with the children of Jinling's aristocratic families.

Unexpectedly, the two of them hit each other unexpectedly, and they became friends after not meeting for long.

When Jun Huailang finished packing and went all the way to the front hall of the governor's mansion, he saw the people sitting in the hall from a distance.

The man was tall and tall, with the posture of a majestic tree.He was sitting on a chair in the living room, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall boredly, when he saw Jun Huailang coming, he stood up, opened the fan with a clatter, and shook it slowly.

A pair of upturned fox eyes were born on that sharp-edged face, giving him the air of a playboy.

When they first met, Jun Huailang saw that he was dressed in brocade brocade, with precious jade hanging from his waist, and even the folding fan in his hand was an antique from a famous master hundreds of years ago, so he just regarded him as a dandy.

It was only later that he learned that his late father was a well-known wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River back then, with a wealth of wealth, and after his death, all his belongings fell on him.Prefect Shen loves him very much, and never treats him badly for food and clothing, so although he looks romantic in raising him, he is actually very straightforward and simple.

"Huai Lang, you wake up late enough." He stood up shaking his fan, and said with a smile. "The weather is so good, if you don't rush out, it might rain again."

Jun Huailang said with a smile: "It's sunny today, it probably won't be so fast."

With that said, he raised his hand to guide Shen Liufeng to go out together.

Walking to the entrance of the front hall, Shen Liufeng still did not forget to raise his hand, pointed at the painting on the wall of the front hall with a fan: "I just look at this painting, and it's too reluctant to act as the facade of the governor's mansion. I have a few paintings there Tang Yin's original work looks quite suitable, and I will send it to you sometime."

Jun Huailang smiled and quickly stopped him: "Don't do it. If my father knows that I have taken such a valuable thing from you, how can I return the gift to the magistrate?"

Shen Liufeng muttered unconvinced: "How much is that worth, do you need a gift in return?"

Jun Huailang laughed helplessly.

When he was in Chang'an, he only heard that the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were rich and powerful, and it could be said that white jade is a golden horse, but now it seems that it is indeed true.

"I don't know anything about calligraphy and painting, so it's a pity to send it here." Jun Huailang went over vaguely, and got into the carriage together with him.

As soon as he got in the car, Shen Liufeng complained: "What the hell is the weather this year? It's just the beginning of spring, and it's going to be rainy. I feel like my bones are going to be moldy, but I still have to go to school every day. "

When Jun Huailang heard this, it just reminded him of one thing.

The place where Shen Liufeng studied was Linjiang Academy.

In his previous life, in order to find out the truth about his father's injustice, after he entered the court, he tried every means to find the dossier of the flood disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, and studied it carefully.

When the flood started, it was the end of May and the beginning of June.Days of rain caused the river to break the embankment and flow back into Jinling City.The location where the dam broke down was at the Linjiang Academy in Jinling.

Linjiang Academy is a very famous academy in the Jiangnan area. It has a history of more than 500 years since its completion.Many of the officials in Beijing came from Linjiang Academy, even the current emperor Jiang Taifu was a student of Linjiang Academy back then.

At that time, it was only two months away from Qiu Wei.Around Linjiang Academy, there are many Jiangnan scholars who come to study and take the exam.The breach of the dam was so violent that it was caught off guard, and many scholars and students were drowned at that time.

Thinking of this, Jun Huailang asked: "Your academy is right by the river, if it rains and the tide rises, won't it overflow?"

When Shen Liufeng heard the words, he said as it should be: "The dam is so high on the river, how can there be such a little rain?"

He always talked a lot, when he heard Jun Huailang's question, he continued chattering: "My uncle built the embankment, which is tall and thick. A few years ago, it rained heavily in the south of the Yangtze River, and the city was so flooded that it was impossible to walk. The embankment is fine."

When Jun Huailang heard this, he was taken aback again.

How did the river embankment break down this summer in the previous life?

He mused.

Now, he has almost figured out the officials and subordinates around his father.Now that it was time for Qiu Wei, they no longer ran around to inspect, but started to prepare for the exam questions.

In this case, he can spare time to visit Linjiang Academy.

He had done enough homework in his previous life, and he was proficient in river regulation and embankment repair.If he could detect the omen of the breach in advance, tell his father to evacuate the people in advance, then the disaster of flood would be lessened a little.

What's more, the continuous rain, water accumulation in the city, and so many people died when the breach occurred, it is extremely easy to cause plague.

Jun Huailang was contemplating, concentrating for a while, but he didn't hear what Shen Liufeng said afterwards.

It wasn't until Shen Liufeng called him the second time that he came back to his senses: "What?"

Shen Liufeng repeated it again.

"I said, I heard from my uncle a few days ago that Beijing Central will send Beijing officials down again to monitor this year's autumn in the south of the Yangtze River." He said. "Tell me, what is there to observe? I don't know which officials to send..."

Jun Huailang was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Shen Liufeng in surprise.

Is there a Beijing official to monitor?

In his previous life, he had never heard of a Beijing official going to Jiangnan for inspection. When he looked through the file, it was his father who was in charge of the Jiangnan Prime Minister's flood affairs. There was no official with a higher official position and greater authority.

...How did you have it in this life?

Jun Huailang was a little nervous for a moment.

If the officials sent were from the faction that framed his father, then the situation this summer would only be more severe.
