Mei Bei remembered that a few days ago, in order to prevent Yong Yuan from being indulged in interrogation, she assigned Yong Yuan a job that she had always wanted to do and that in Mei Bei's eyes was very safe -

Escort frontline grain and fodder out of Zhuzhou.

Now she comes back and shouts that it's not good, could it be——

"The food and grass were robbed?"

Mayberry subconsciously imagined the worst.

"That's not true." Yongyuan, who had just rushed to Mei Bei, immediately denied, "The grain and fodder were successfully delivered to the captain who escorted the frontline grain and fodder."

"What's the matter? It's bad?"

Meiberry couldn't think of anything bad related to Yongyuan's work.

“The middle reaches of the Cangling River burst its banks!”

"what?!"

As soon as these words came out, Mei Bei immediately opened the electronic map in his mind to look for the location Yongyuan mentioned, only to find that the middle section of the Cangling River is within the territory of Zhongzhou, and Wancheng seems to be within the affected area!

At that moment, Mei Bei couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up suddenly and took Yong Yuan's arm to walk out. As she walked, she asked, "How did you know? When did it happen?"

"I asked this when I was talking to the captain who came to take over the food and grass when I was sending it out of Zhuzhou. It happened not long ago, just a few days ago.

I heard from the captain that, fortunately, Wancheng's terrain is relatively high, and although the flood was within the reach of the dyke burst, our people were fine. "

Mei Bei's heart, which had just been high, was relieved by Yong Yuan's words.

No wonder no one told her what happened on the front line. It turned out to be no impact.

Meiberry thought so, but something still felt wrong.

Mei Bei breathed a sigh of relief, but Yong Yuan said again: "However, due to the terrain of Wan City, the victims nearby all went towards Wan City."

"What the hell? There's a war going on in Wancheng!" Mei Bei couldn't believe it when she heard this. "How do we calculate this? Are Prince Lian and the imperial court helping us, or should we help them?"

"That's it." Yongyuan said without noticing Mei Bei's face gradually darkening, "The captain said that some of our food and grass will probably have to be allocated to take care of the victims.

If this thing is done well, this time can be considered a good opportunity to win people's hearts. "

"Buy people's hearts? Can those people in the Wan City across the street wait for us to buy them? Moreover, after the flood, it's not just about food and drink..."

Mayberry has already thought about the consequences of hygiene problems.

"Even if these victims want to find a safe place, they can't take the lead in rushing to a chaotic place, right?

Wouldn't it be okay to walk two steps east to Zhuzhou, Sangzizhou, or other places? Near something...ah, wait! Why didn't anyone tell me these things? ? "

Mei Bei, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, could not help but feel her blood pressure rising now. Not to mention the incident involving the victims, just because it had happened for several days, the news actually came to light through Yong Yuan.

Something is not normal here!

In the flash of lightning, Mei Bei remembered that Qi Jinghao was so busy recently that he couldn't see anyone. His face suddenly darkened completely and he said in a deep voice:

"Tell Qi Jinghao to come to see me, and several other gentlemen to come to my study."

Mei Bei spoke, then turned to look at Yong Yuan, who was rushing back after a long journey, and said: "This time, I will remember you for your contribution~"

After saying that, Mei Bi smiled at Yong Yuan.

But her intuition told Yongyuan that her sister seemed really angry.

···

Qi Jinghao's intuition also told him that being summoned suddenly at noon was definitely not a good thing.

Arriving at Meiberry's study with anxiety in his heart, Qi Jinghao looked up and saw several gentlemen already standing in the room.

While looking at each other, they nodded secretly.

Meiberry sat on the chair and glanced at these people, looking at their frowns. Meiberry didn't say a word and asked someone to find some futons for them.

"No need to kneel, just sit down."

Meiberry pointed to a few futons on the ground and said, making everyone's hearts tremble.

Looking at Mei Pei's attitude, and looking at Yong Yuan sitting on the stool next to Mei Pei eating snacks, it is clear that they have made Mei Pei angry and unhappy with such differential treatment.

Qi Jinghao looked at the futon and saw the other people kneeling on the futon obediently. He wiped the sweat from the rush on his forehead and sat down as well. Then he heard Mei Bei asked in his ear: "Mr. Qi, have you been very busy these days?"

"Ah, if I go back to the county, I'm not busy lately, I'm not busy..."

He told Qi Jinghao from the bottom of his heart that answering in a hurry would never do anything good.

"Oh, I wonder how Mr. Qi has studied the flood prevention and control manual I distributed earlier?"

"Those written by the Junjun are of course precious, and I will gain a lot from them after reading them."

When Qi Jinghao heard Mei Bei suddenly ask him about reading this book, he was a little unsure about what Mei Bei was going to do, but he immediately understood after Mei Bei's question——

"Then I wonder if this book will be useful for Mr. Qi to resettle the flood victims in Wancheng?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Berry saw the people who had just been kneeling suddenly straighten up.

Everyone immediately understood what Mei Berry meant by looking for them today, and the speed at which they admitted their mistake made them more convinced that they had really concealed Mei Berry's matter.

Yongyuan was dumbfounded when she reached this point while holding a plate of snacks.

She looked at the people below from time to time, then turned to look at Mayberry, and then suddenly realized: "So you all know about this, but you didn't tell my sister?!"

Very good, when they heard Yongyuan ask, they also knew who "leaked the news".

"This... this, to return to the princess, because the princess was assassinated and injured a few days ago, His Highness specifically asked me to help the princess handle the affairs in the rear, and not to make the princess too overworked."

"Help me handle it and you didn't say you'd hide everything from me, right?"

Mayberry was not satisfied with this answer.

"I have been recuperating from an injury recently. It's not like I don't know that I need to rest. I want you to help me deal with some things.

But - this matter was completely hidden from me, and you didn't even let me know about it. Who told you that you could do this?

Don't say anything about Your Highness, otherwise I will personally confirm whether Jing'an said these things when he comes back. Then, if what you said today is inconsistent with him..."

Mayberry stopped talking and just stared at the people in front of her.

When Mei Bei doesn't speak and stares at people with a straight face, she gives people a feeling of oppression no less than Dongfang Jing'an.

Maybe it was because Meiberry's smiling and harmless appearance on weekdays was so impressive. Meiberry's current state made people tremble when they saw her.

They seemed to have seen a replica of His Highness!

"If you handle the matter properly this time, forget it. If something goes wrong, are you still planning to tell me then and let me take the blame for you?"

"My subordinates (subordinates) don't dare!"

Seeing the people who were so frightened by him that they were kneeling on the ground and admitting their mistake again and again, Meiberry waved her hands in disgust, then took a deep breath, relaxed her tone, and said:

"Stop knocking, sit down, what are you doing kneeling?

Now I have no intention of pursuing you immediately. After all, you have probably been busy with this matter in the past few days. I don't see you every day, which shows that this matter is quite busy.

I don’t mean to pursue you immediately now. We’ve reached this point. Work hard and make up for your mistakes. Do you understand? "

"got it."

"Oh...by the way, who is your latest boss?"

Meiberry changed the subject. One second she said she would not pursue the matter further, but the next second she suddenly asked them who the person in charge was.

Who dares to talk nonsense?

Qi Jinghao was crazily recalling in his heart who among the staff gentlemen left by Dongfang Jing'an had the right to speak. As a result, he suddenly felt cold all over. When he raised his head, he shouted, "It's over."

Several staff members unanimously focused their attention on Qi Jinghao.
