Chapter 267

Dr. Liu stood in a daze for a long time: "A woman is loyal and brave, and has never been inferior to her son. I used to underestimate the eldest princess."

Marquis Cheng An, who should be the most happy, couldn't be happy for a while.

As soon as he got home, Fuan came to report the news from Zhejiang Province: "I heard that it was a severe epidemic, and I have been sick for seven or eight days. I was busy patrolling the isolation settlements and had no obvious symptoms, so I thought it was because I was too sick. I was overworked and kept supporting my body, which delayed my illness."

Marquis Cheng An frowned: "I've been ill for so long, can I still be cured?"

Fuan said: "I heard that the illness of the eldest princess is different from that of other victims. Not only does she feel sore all over her body, but she also suffers from cold and hot. Things went from bad to worse, before I was able to deal with the official affairs piled up in the yamen every day, but later I couldn't even hold a pen."

Cheng Anhou's mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

……

Seven days have passed since Jiang Fuguang moved into the isolation point.

Ji Ruxuan set up camp alone in a secluded and remote place in the isolation area. Jiang Fuguang was worried about spreading the epidemic to Ji Ruxuan, and strongly urged him to wear a mask and gloves soaked in realgar wine, covering his neck tightly.

Told Yingluo to remind him to drink the decoction to avoid the epidemic every morning and evening, to sprinkle realgar powder and sulfur powder on his body, and to smoke the incense to avoid the epidemic after washing his clothes every day.

She was still in the tent, hung many anti-epidemic sachets, and smoked the incense for anti-epidemic.

He even wore a sachet on himself, wore a mask, and smoked a lot of incense. If he couldn't avoid physical contact with Ji Ruxuan, he avoided being intimate with him.

She didn't know if it would work, but fortunately, Ji Ruxuan did not contract the disease.

In order to take care of her conveniently, Ji Ruxuan built a simple stove, cooked different kinds of food every day, and took care of her meticulously.

However, Jiang Fuguang's body was still deteriorating, his appetite became worse and worse, and he ate less and less. He lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wen Yiqian walked into the tent. On such a hot day, the eldest princess was wearing a cloak. Her petite body was wrapped in the fat cloak, and she felt sick and weak.

In just seven days, the Eldest Princess was already in good shape.

But even so, she was still writing at the desk. It was clear that her hands were trembling all the time, and she couldn't write two characters, so she had to stop and take a break to avoid splashing ink on the paper.

Feeling astringent in his heart, he knelt down slowly: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Eldest Princess."

The tip of the pen paused slightly, Jiang Fuguang raised his head: "Here we come, sit down quickly!"

Xu knew that he was coming, so two smokers were placed in the tent, which smoked a thick anti-epidemic incense, and the whole tent was filled with thick smoke, which made her very uncomfortable.

Jiang Fuguang covered his mouth and coughed a few times: "You asked Yingluo to tell you that you have something important to report, and you must see me before you can tell. What is it?"

Wen Yiqian's eyes were red: "My subordinates have visited many disaster victims unannounced these days. They all said that the dam is very strong. In previous years, it rained for more than ten days in a row, and the water level was always within the safety line."

"Moreover, the villagers let people guard the mouth of the weir every day. Before the dam burst, there was no sign. On the night of the dam burst, the villagers who guarded the weir were also washed away by the flood, but just halfway through the dam burst Two hours ago, Wang Dagui, who was guarding the weir with him in shift, personally said that there was no problem with the dam. If something went wrong with the dam, the villagers who guarded the weir would carry a gong with them, so why didn't they warn? How could such a large dam be said? Destroy it or destroy it?"

Jiang Fuguang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Wen Yiqian to find so much.

There is always a sparseness in a hundred secrets.

But there are always some clues to those shady and sneaky things. As long as someone is willing to investigate carefully, they will definitely find clues.

"The lower official felt that something was wrong, and began to secretly visit those villagers who participated in the river repair every year. From their words, he vaguely realized," Wen Yiqian couldn't get up, his throat trembled, "The river repair department is greedy for money for river repair. Every year Less than [-]% of the river repair funds allocated by the imperial court are actually used for river repairs."

With a "bang", the teacup in Jiang Fuguang's hand fell to the ground, her throat was itchy, she covered her mouth and coughed lightly several times.

Originally, she thought that Marquis Cheng'an was audacious, but when the Xiuhesi incident broke out, she realized that Marquis Cheng'an was a cunning and scheming man.

Only then did she understand why Marquis Cheng'an was so confident that he ordered Taishou Li and County Magistrate Wang to destroy the embankment.

It's because of Xiuhesi, the scapegoat.

At first, the eldest princess rejected the request for the river repair fund, and only allocated 20 taels of river repair funds, which not only touched the interests of the river repair department, but also made the officials of the river repair department hold grudges.

At the same time, Xiuhesi felt guilty again, and secretly speculated whether the eldest princess was aware of their greed for money from the Mohe Road?Worried that the embezzlement of Moxiu River's funds would be exposed.

In previous years, more than 30 taels were needed to build a river embankment, but this year only 20 taels were allocated. If the river embankment is still intact, the Ministry of Industry will definitely suspect it.

Afterwards, the dam was washed away, causing disasters in Xin'an County. The River Repair Department didn't know what was going on, and seeing the crime of embezzlement of money for the river repair, which caused the river embankment to fall into disrepair, everyone was terrified.

When Prefect Li wanted to shift the responsibility to the Eldest Princess, in order to shirk the responsibility, Xiuhesi jumped out and joined forces with Prefect Li and the officials of Hangzhou County to blame the embankment's disrepair on the Eldest Princess.

I want the eldest princess to be a scapegoat.

As everyone knows, Xiu Hesi is also Cheng Anhou's scapegoat.

If the "inverted length" is successful and Marquis Cheng'an achieves his goal, Xiuhesi will be fine.

If the "inverting the length" fails, the crime of destroying the embankment will fall on Xiuhesi, and Marquis Cheng'an can escape safely.

It's a good idea.

If Wen Yiqian hadn't found out that Xiuhesi had corrupted Mo's river repair funds, and Marquis Cheng'an pushed Xiuhesi to die instead, the evidence of the embankment destruction she had in her hand would not be enough for Marquis Cheng'an to plead guilty to the law.

"The garrison controlled the officials of Hangzhou County. The lower officials, as the history of river supervision, with the assistance of the garrison, forcibly entered the Xiuhe Division. They searched the repair books of the Xiuhe Division over the years and found the account books and the lower officials. The information found in the unannounced visits is seriously inconsistent.”

"The lower official dared to use his head as a guarantee. The river repair department lied to the court about the money for the river repair, and committed the evil deeds of embezzlement of the money for the river repair, which caused the river embankment to fall into disrepair, and caused disasters in Xin'an County. More than [-] victims suffered. Seeing that the crime of corruption in ink cannot be covered up, So he vainly tried to push the crime of the dike's disrepair on the Eldest Princess, and let the Eldest Princess act as a scapegoat, which is an unforgivable crime, please order the Eldest Princess to arrest some criminals."

Jiang Fuguang said softly: "The dam is newly built, and it is already very strong. The repair department and his team have always been slippery. It is true that they are greedy for money to repair the river. It is also true that they are serious about repairing the river embankment every year. Do you think it is true that the river embankment is in disrepair? Did it lead to the disaster in Xin'an County?"
