Jiang Fuguang was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth: "Why?"

Isn't that what he asked for?Why did he say he was unhappy when the opportunity came?
"I don't want you to fall into the mud." Ji Ruxuan's eyes were dark.

"Half and half choices are always the most difficult choice. No matter which decision is made, it is a gamble." Jiang Fuguang suddenly did not dare to look into his eyes, she lowered her head, "I just made the choice that I thought was right. .”

"Haven't you thought about yourself at all?" Ji Ruxuan asked hoarsely.

"I've thought about it," Jiang Fuguang chuckled, "From the moment I stood on the embankment, I thought about it. The small diversion order made a mistake, and His Majesty will punish you. I will expose Marquis Cheng'an as a sinner, and the courtiers will be punished." It is believed that in order to shirk my responsibility, I framed Marquis Cheng'an and slandered the imperial court official, and the crime was aggravated."

No one will believe her words anymore, because she is wearing a crime, and all the evidence she collected cannot be used as evidence in court to testify against Cheng Anhou.

Qi Dang will also be severely suppressed by the Marquis of Cheng'an, and no one can help her.

She will bear all the consequences of the disaster.

"The Marquis of Cheng'an will get away with it." She sighed softly.

"In that case, why did you..." Ji Ruxuan's throat choked.

"So, I plan to hand over the evidence to Wen Yiqian, and he will secretly present it to His Majesty." Jiang Fuguang continued.

Ji Ruxuan sneered: "So what, besides being a father, he is also the emperor. The small diversion made the disaster worse. Now that His Majesty presents these evidences, the courtiers will also think that it is His Majesty's selfishness to protect you. On the contrary, it will boost the prestige of Marquis Chengan, the establishment of the reserve is pending, and the hearts of the people in the government and the opposition are fluctuating, and it will give them the opportunity and excuse to establish the reserve."

Therefore, even if the evidence of Marquis Cheng'an's destruction of the embankment is in the hands of His Majesty, he will not make it public.

Not to mention Jiang Fuguang's justice.

"You're right," Jiang Fuguang didn't refute, but said, "Marquis Cheng'an's complacency is only temporary, and His Majesty will make a fuss about the private salt issue that will lead to the embankment destruction case."

The evidence of smuggling obtained from Wang Youcai is enough to drag Cheng Anhou into the water.

"But it will take a long time, everything is too late..." You took all the responsibility for the disaster yourself, and fell into the mud from heaven.

Even if the truth comes out one day, you will bear everything, all the responsibilities that should not be borne by you.

"I know," she said.

Ji Ruxuan's hands trembled.

"Xin'an County still has a chance," she said softly, "I know there is still a chance, but in order to protect my own interests, I can't give up this area of ​​land and water."

"This side of water and soil has bred many people for generations. The people in this side are hardworking and simple. They have picked mulberry, raised silkworms, weaved cloth, farmed, paid taxes, and served for generations. How much contribution has they made to the Southern Dynasty? How can they be ignored?"

"How can you bear it?"

"Okay," Ji Ruxuan let go of her hand, "I'll help you."

"Junxuan!" Jiang Fuguang raised his head suddenly, but shrank back from his scorching gaze.

"I will not let you fall into the mud," Ji Ruxuan said softly, "The potion that Wang Youcai used to destroy the embankment before can achieve the purpose of quickly destroying the embankment."

Wang Youcai originally planned to destroy another dam, so he prepared enough potion and hid it in the secret room of the widow's house. It is currently placed in the county government.

"Unexpectedly, this was originally something that wanted to harm me," Jiang Fuguang smiled lightly, his eyes were a little desolate, "but now it has helped me a lot."

Ji Ruxuan didn't speak.

"Before, I was only [-]% sure. With the potion for destroying the embankment, I can add [-]%." Jiang Fuguang smiled, "Even God is on my side."

Ji Ruxuan walked out of the umbrella, turned around and walked into the rain curtain, and found Wen Yiqian who was arranging a small diversion not far away.

Holding an umbrella, Jiang Fuguang looked at his slender figure, which was as solid and tough as a craggy rock in the dim rain.

Suddenly she was not afraid.

Yue Ting took the garrison troops to evacuate the people in several villages in Xiaoshun.

Surrounded by mountains, the evacuation was quick.

Ji Ruxuan and Wen Yiqian led the garrison and villagers to find the best location, and began to divert the raging river water to nearby villages, reducing the pressure on the embankment and lowering the water level.

By night, the water level in the dam was lowered to a safe level.

The villagers cheered, all of them paralyzed from exhaustion.

Jiang Fuguang's body felt weak for a while, just when a batch of sacks were delivered to the dam, the garrison was busy packing them again, and they didn't dare to be careless.

Ji Ruxuan and Wen Yiqian haven't come back yet.

They lead people to guard the weir mouth and keep an eye on the water level at all times. Once the water level exceeds the safety line and tends to be uncontrollable, they will immediately burst and divert the water.

However, at midnight, the water level rose sharply again.

Jiang Fuguang inspected the dam, looked at the blueprint of the dam, and pointed to a place: "Break at this place, and then conduct a small diversion."

Wen Yiqian persuaded: "Princess, the heavy rain is still falling and the water level is still rising. Another small diversion can only last for three or four hours at most. If the rain intensifies, it will be too late to carry out a major diversion."

"The first small diversion flooded three villages, and this time it will flood five villages," Jiang Fuguang closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's do it!"

Wen Yiqian had no choice.

After the second small diversion, the water level dropped again, but the villagers were not happy. They continued to build embankments and block the mouth of the weir, hoping that the next time the water level rose, they could last a little longer.

Time ticked by.

June [-]th, Chen time.

Its daybreak.

Jiang Fuguang has been on the dam for a day and two nights. After two hours of continuous decline, the water level began to rise again.

Once the water level rises above the safety line again, she will order the evacuation of all villagers, away from the dam, and order a major diversion.

The heart is no longer under torment and pressure all the time.

Jiang Fuguang looked up at the sky. The rain was still falling. It didn't decrease or increase. It was the rain that kept converging into streams along the waterways extending in all directions, and flowed into the Huigang Dam, causing floods.

Lizheng came over to persuade her: "Eldest Princess, go and rest for a while, natural disasters are merciless, if the dam floods, it will be God's blind eye, not the Eldest Princess' fault."

Wang Dagui also came over to persuade her: "Eldest princess, if you drown, you will drown, we trust you."

Qin Jiangzhou also said: "Princess, you have tried your best. You should rest well, recharge your batteries, and face the more cruel disasters in the future. Hundreds of thousands of people in Xin'an County depend on you."

"..."

Everyone is persuading her.

Jiang Fuguang suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness all over her body, she staggered slightly, and her whole body was spinning.

"Princess..." Surprised voices came from all around.

Can't be dizzy, can't be dizzy, Jiang Fuguang bit his tongue hard, and said weakly: "I, I'm fine, help me sit, sit down."
