Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 396 Sin (Update )
Yun Cheng said: "Yes. Many places in Southern Sui have suffered from floods and the disaster is serious. Lord Xu must be worried about provoking a civil uprising, so he rushed to the capital at full speed."

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyes: "Has it come to this?"

When he left Changzhou, although there were many victims displaced, the overall situation was still under control.

On the day he returned to Beijing, he went straight to the palace to meet the emperor. The grain and money for disaster relief should have been distributed, but the situation has not only not improved, but has become even worse?

Yun Cheng paused and said, "According to reliable information, the granary in Changzhou caught fire, and the relief grain sent was burned to ashes overnight."

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"It caught fire? Why did it happen at the disaster relief granary, and why did it happen at this time?"

Yuncheng bowed his head and agreed.

Shen Yanchuan was silent for a moment and sneered:

"No wonder he was in such a hurry to come to Beijing."

As the governor of Sui'nan, Xu Jie has a heavy burden on his shoulders. If he fails to provide effective disaster relief, it will be a serious crime!
"The granary caught fire. Is there something fishy going on?"

Yun Cheng said: "The incident happened suddenly, and Lord Xu reacted quickly. He sent heavy troops to guard the place as quickly as possible and blocked the news. I'm afraid he is the only one who knows what happened."

Shen Yanchuan pondered for a moment, then tapped the table lightly with his finger.

"This fire was set just in time. When the Li River burst its banks, everyone involved in the river repairs probably had a bad night's sleep recently. Now that this incident has suddenly happened, it can give them a break."

His voice was calm and indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.

Yun Cheng felt a sudden chill running down his spine.

He vaguely guessed what his master meant by this, but he still couldn't believe it.

"You mean, they own the granary - but isn't that too bold? There's a disaster in Suinan, and Lord Xu is a high-ranking official. If something really happens, he can't bear the consequences!"

"He will make his own judgment on what is more important than what is less important." Shen Yanchuan closed his eyes, and under the candlelight, there seemed to be a frosty chill between his brows. "How do you think he got to his current position if he didn't have some ability?" The natural disaster was an accident, and the fire in the granary was also an accident. At most, Xu Jie would be blamed for the anger, but he would not be punished for a serious crime.

However, it would not be so easy if it were discovered that there was something fishy about the construction of the Lihe River.

What's more, Xu Jie has now arrived in Beijing, and he is eager to seek help for the victims and to apologize. When it comes to recruiting people, I believe Your Majesty will show leniency.

Quite a smart man.

“But it’s not all bad.”

Shen Yanchuan opened his eyes, his deep and dark eyes were like a deep pool.

"I'm not afraid of him coming to Beijing, I'm just afraid he'll retreat out and stay away from me."

Yun Cheng pondered and said, "I guess... he heard that the Second Prince had been released from confinement, so he felt relieved to enter the capital?"

Xiao Chengxuan's endless favor from the emperor gave many people peace of mind.

The corners of Shen Yanchuan's lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Now, I'm afraid Xiao Chengxuan himself doesn't have the confidence."

When the Third Prince was assassinated, the first person everyone suspected was him!

The most important thing is that among these people, the current emperor is also included.

Before the truth is revealed, Xiao Chengxuan probably won't be able to sleep peacefully.

Although Yun Cheng did not go to the hunting ground with them, he already knew what happened there.

He was surprised and said, "It does seem a little strange. If those Nanhu swordsmen wanted to assassinate the Third Prince, they would have plenty of opportunities. Why did they choose the Royal Hunting Ground?"
