The foreman still drew the bet.
Although he didn't know who ordered him, but they were responsible for the collapse of the embankment, and this evidence is enough.In addition to Jun Huailang's records and blueprints, there are all witnesses and material evidence. With these, those responsible can clean it up.
But Xue Yan suppressed all these evidences.
"I know who it is." Xue Yan said to Jun Huailang when receiving the pleadings. "I know people in central Beijing and people in Jiangnan."
Jun Huailang looked at him in surprise.
Then Xue Yan continued: "However, they are hiding tightly, and what they are doing now that can be caught in the open will not move them."
Jun Huailang asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Xue Yan smiled slightly at him when he heard this.
"Since you haven't done it, let them do it." Xue Yan tapped his fingers on the table slowly. "Being forced to a certain extent, even if it is a crime that will punish the nine clans, you will try it, won't you?"
Jun Huailang was slightly taken aback.
Seeing Xue Yan leaning over, he said: "Their arrangements are indeed quite comprehensive, but if they make a mistake, they will be trapped in their own cocoon."
As he spoke, he looked up at Jun Huailang: "At that time, it will be difficult for them to live."
The Xue Yan in front of him was unfamiliar yet familiar. Although his eyes revealed a cold and cruel light, it inexplicably reassured him, and he couldn't help but feel that he was reliable.
Even Jun Huailang's rationality couldn't resist this feeling.
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 gloom in his eyes disappeared immediately. "Just watch and see how the person who wanted to kill your father died."
It took a moment for Jun Huailang to recover his voice.
"...Then, aren't these evidences useless?" He asked.
Xue Yan laughed softly.
"Why is it useless? It is useful. I keep it because it is useful." He said.
Jun Huailang showed a puzzled expression.
I heard Xue Yan continue: "When their net wraps themselves, even if the evidence cannot be pointed out that they did it, it will become the last rope to close the net."
He said: "After all, the king's suspicion never needs evidence to really point out who."
-
So from this day on, Jun Huailang acted as if he didn't know that the reason for the collapse of the dam was man-made, and he never mentioned this matter.
Jinling is still cloudy and rainy.
Starting from the north, the city was submerged by [-]% of the river.The breach of the embankment has not yet been repaired, and the river is still pouring into the city. It is temporarily blocked by officers and soldiers with sand and stones, but once there is heavy rain, it will be washed away immediately.
So on the second day of the breach, Jun Huailang found the prefect Shen.
Today, none of the officials in Jinling City has worked in the Ministry of Industry, let alone build river embankments.Jinling's dams have been indestructible since the previous magistrate repaired them more than ten years ago, and such a serious disaster has never occurred.
Today's officials are helpless.
But Jun Huailang is different.In his previous life, in order to find out the whole story of his father's crime of embezzling ink, he thoroughly studied the floods in the south of the Yangtze River from beginning to end.Now he not only has a lot of research on building dikes to control water, but also knows how to repair the dikes in his previous life.
He found Zhifu Shen just to help him with this matter.
With Xue Yan, the Xu family and Guo Rongwen don't have to worry about him anymore, and he doesn't have Xue Yan's ability to make him fight against them.
And what he can do well, and what he must do, is to do his best in this life to protect the people in Jinling City.
Regarding the rebirth, he naturally couldn't tell Zhifu directly.He only said that he was very interested in water conservancy, studied a lot of documents, and put forward his own opinions to Shen Zhifu on how to build dams.
After listening to it, Shen Zhifu also felt that the method he proposed was feasible, so he agreed to him, and put the embankment repair under the name of Duke Yongning, and then he had full authority to do it.
Therefore, Jun Huailang led the officers, soldiers and supplies he had assigned to go out early and return late every day, and went to the breach of the embankment to find a suitable terrain and orientation to dredge the river.
Restoring the embankment is the most important thing now, besides that, there are tens of thousands of refugees in the city.
The number of people who escaped and were rescued was so large that they could not be accommodated in the city, so they were transferred to the southern suburbs of the city.These days, officials in Jinling are busy with this.
The homes of those affected by the disaster were all damaged, and most of their belongings were submerged by the river.Therefore, apart from the usual basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, everything has become a problem in Jinling City.
The price of food in the city soared, and for a while, ordinary people were in danger.
However, these did not affect the enjoyment of the wealthy businessmen and gentry.
These days, as soon as the flood has settled down a bit, a piece of news spreads among the upper-class circles in Jinling.
Qingyue Square in Chunshui Lane in the south of the city will be auctioning off the oiran's first night in a few days.
It is not uncommon to see Liu Lane in the flower street in the south of the Yangtze River. It is common for a brothel to hold one or two oirans, rare goods to live in, and then 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.
I heard that the Yujing girl is only fifteen years old now, she was born with a natural beauty, and she can play the pipa astonishingly well.A month ago, the girl from Yujing showed her face for the first time, and she amazed everyone with just one drum and dance, and she became famous in the city.
But Qingyuefang treats this girl very dearly, and after a month, they haven't arranged for her to go out a few times.
But the more this is the case, the more difficult it is to get tickets for Qingyuefang.Many rich gentry and wealthy businessmen spend a lot of money just to catch a glimpse of Miss Yujing.
Now this girl is going to be auctioned off.
What was even more unexpected was that Qingyuefang released rumors that if the highest bidder was willing to pay ten times the auction price, he could directly redeem Miss Yujing and take her home.
Everyone said that the owner of Qingyuefang must not want to stay in Jinling for a long time, so he exchanged the girl for money early, and was about to run away.But even so, it can't stop many people from gearing up and wanting to embrace the beauty.
For a while, because of the Yujing girl, Jinling City, which had been displaced everywhere, recovered a bit of prosperity.
But the Jinling government office is full of solemnity.
Food, grass, gold and silver are kept in the treasury of various places, which is reserved for such a catastrophe and used for disaster relief.
Now that the food has to be released to the victims, the gold and silver have to be counted and used to buy food and medicinal materials from merchants, so the entire treasury has to be sorted out.
A few days ago, prefect Shen was working on this matter.He even asked Xue Yan about who would check the warehouse.
"Shouldn't you just decide on such a trivial matter?" At that time, Xue Yan raised his eyes lightly, and there was a bit of obvious impatience in his eyes. "Who does it on weekdays?"
Shen Zhifu hurriedly said: "It's Guo Shilang under Duke Yongning."
Xue Yan nodded, hiding all the calculations in his eyes: "Then let him do it?"
On weekdays, money, food, and grass were all arranged for Guo Rongwen. Prefect Shen didn't know who the spies in the government were, but now he told Xue Yan that he wanted to report to him because the matter was serious.
Hearing Xue Yan's consent, Prefect Shen hurriedly agreed and wanted to withdraw.
At this moment, Xue Yan stopped him.
"Wait," he said.
Prefect Shen hurriedly stopped.
Xue Yan asked: "Is the money and food separated?"
Shen Zhifu hurriedly said: "Yes."
Xue Yan said: "It's too slow to do it alone. It's troublesome to count the grain and grass. Let Guo Rongwen go. As for the money, I don't worry about other people. Governor Shen, go and count it yourself. You should first hand over the resettlement of the victims to Yongning Gong."
Prefect Shen quickly took orders and retreated.
Therefore, according to Xue Yan's arrangement, the two of them settled the grain, grass and money in the treasury.Today, the secret letter was delivered to Xue Yan's desk.
as predicted.
The boy Xu Cong'an knew that Yujing was going to be auctioned, so he started raising money immediately.But how much money does he have on hand?This place is so far away from the capital, and he can't ask his family to ask for it, let alone ask his father for money to redeem an oiran.
Therefore, he found Guo Rongwen immediately.
The precious grandson of the three generations of the Xu family asked him for money, even if Guo Rongwen didn't have it, he dared not say he didn't have it.However, he had no place to raise such a huge sum of money to buy someone who was a well-known oiran in Jinling.
At this moment, Jinling's treasury was handed over to him.
Sure enough, he immediately transported a large amount of grain around, took advantage of the soaring price of grain in Jinling City, sold the grain from the government to merchants, and made false accounts overnight to fool the big hole past.
But he didn't know that the merchant he found was someone Xue Yan had already bought out.
The merchant signed a contract in duplicate with Guo Rongwen in the name of running water, clearly stating how much food to buy and sell, and how much to pay.
Guo Rongwen wanted the money urgently, and he didn't want to get entangled. He only knew that there was a huge gap between the government and businessmen. Ordinary grain dealers would not know the names of people in the government, so they signed and stamped with confidence.
But they didn't know that right after, the signed and sealed contract was placed on Xue Yan's desk together with the secret letter.
Xue Yan picked up the secret letter and smiled faintly.
Now, Guo Rongwen's crime of embezzling ink and food for disaster relief has been confirmed.And the son of the Xu family publicly bought the oiran with a lot of money. Once the whereabouts of the money are traced, there will be a direction.
Guo Rongwen was greedy for ink and gave the money to Xu Xiang's grandson. Now, even if Emperor Qingping is blind, he will not fail to see what is going on between them.
Xue Yan slowly put away the letter.
Seeing that he had finished reading the letter, Jin Bao who was next to him quickly asked, "Master, the grain seller is still asking, what should I do next?"
Xue Yan paused.
For him, this matter has always been a question that he will not consider.What he has to do is to induce Guo Rongwen to embezzle and leave evidence. As for the grain dealer, he lowered Guo Rongwen's price by [-]%, and the benefits from it are great.Now he only needs to seal that person's mouth and let him pretend that he doesn't know about it after making a fortune in a muffled voice, that's enough.
As for where the grain went and who to sell it to, he didn't bother to care.
But Xue Yan hesitated.
He suddenly thought, if Jun Huailang knew that he used disaster relief food as bait to lure Guo Rongwen into the bait, what would he think?
He seems to... care a lot about those people in the city who don't recognize their faces, let alone their names.
Xue Yan paused, and asked, "...Where did Jun Huailang go today?"
Jin Bao hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness went to the embankment early in the morning. I heard that after dark today, he came back from the embankment and went to the camp for the victims in the south of the city."
really.Xue Yan sighed.
"... Spend an extra [-]% to buy back all the food in the hands of the vendor." He put down the secret letter and said. "Send it outside the city tonight, and say I donated it."
He has suffered a lot since he was a child, and he has no parents to teach him how to be a human being. 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 kindest and soft-hearted.
Although he didn't know who ordered him, but they were responsible for the collapse of the embankment, and this evidence is enough.In addition to Jun Huailang's records and blueprints, there are all witnesses and material evidence. With these, those responsible can clean it up.
But Xue Yan suppressed all these evidences.

"Since you haven't done it, let them do it." Xue Yan tapped his fingers on the table slowly. "Being forced to a certain extent, even if it is a crime that will punish the nine clans, you will try it, won't you?"
Jun Huailang was slightly taken aback.
Seeing Xue Yan leaning over, he said: "Their arrangements are indeed quite comprehensive, but if they make a mistake, they will be trapped in their own cocoon."
As he spoke, he looked up at Jun Huailang: "At that time, it will be difficult for them to live."
