Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 492

[Chapter 492 Detention and Interrogation]

The news that Wenxian County Master arrived in Linjiang City spread quickly. It has been more than half a month since the flood broke out in Linjiang. The victims have been waiting for the means of relief from the court, but this time, the relief materials The delay has not arrived, and even the disaster relief officials have not come.

Originally, they were about to despair, but the arrival of Mu Yunyao made them suddenly see hope.

With the help of Xingshun Boat Line, the food and medicinal materials prepared by Buxianlou and Niyunfang were quickly transported along the waterway. At the same time, there were Steward Qin, Wei Yi and Yun Chun who came to Linjiang City together.

When steward Qin saw Mu Yunyao, his eyes were full of excitement. After looking at Mu Yunyao carefully, he came forward and bowed respectfully: “I have seen Princess Wenxian.”

Mu Yunyao showed a smile: “Steward Qin, hurry up and excuse me, you’ve worked hard these past few days.”

“It’s nothing to worry about. Fortunately, Buxianlou has saved some food, and with the support of Niyunfang, this has not delayed the business. Miss, come and see, are these food and medicinal materials enough?”

Mu Yunyao took the pamphlet and looked at it carefully, and then called Liu Liang, who had rushed back, and said, “Linjiang City was the worst hit, and many of the people are already sick. After I have the medicinal materials, I will keep an eye on them as soon as possible. To suppress the disease, I cannot leave Linjiang City for the time being. You and Weiyi and Yunchun are separated. You go to Huai’an City and hand over the medicinal materials and food to officials in Huai’an City, while Wei Yi and Yunchun go to Yi. Shuicheng, at least let the people see a little hope first.”

The officials of Huai’an City have cleaned up a batch of them because of the Caiyue Pavilion, and the damage is not serious, so the situation is not bad, the urgent need can be solved by sending the food and medicinal materials, what she can’t let go of is Yishui City, Yishui City originally had the Yi River flowing through it, and the floodwaters from Linjiang’s embankment burst into the Yi River, causing the water level of the Yi River to rise seriously, and a second flood occurred directly, which blocked the road into Yishui City. Now there is the least news about Yishui City.

“Yes.” The three quickly responded.

Steward Qin looked at the messy city around him and sighed: “Over the years, the Dali Dynasty has been peaceful and prosperous. The sudden occurrence of such a serious flood is really dazzling.”

Mu Yunyao and Steward Qin returned to the county government office that was temporarily cleared: “Steward Qin, do you have any news about His Royal Highness King Yue?”

Qin Guanshi shook his head with a heavy expression: “The king of Yue did contact me after Jiangnan came down, and the account books in each mansion were accurate and the amount of tax and silver was sufficient. There was no problem at all. He told me to investigate the news, and after receiving a letter from the lady, he took the letter directly to Linjiang City, where he suddenly disappeared.”

Mu Yunyao clenched the ingot-patterned purse in her hand, and her slightly restrained eyes were full of gloom: “The letter I gave… Your Highness King Yue, which salt merchants did you investigate?”

“Zhou Huai in Linjiang City, Jiang Jin in Yangzhou City…” Steward Qin understood the information of these people very clearly, and said it very carefully.

Mu Yunyao listened carefully, and suddenly frowned: “These people have contacts with Yang Lian… So how are they now?”

Manager Qin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “Because of the incident of Linjiang’s dyke breaking, I stopped paying attention to them…”

“Steward Qin, you still need to supervise this matter in person. Now you will send more people to look for the traces of these people you have investigated to see if they are still alive…”

“Miss, do these people have problems?”

“I’m not sure. After Yang Lian’s accident, King Jin tried his best to erase the evidence of the shortage of salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River. This time Linjiang City’s embankment burst can’t be said to be his handwriting. Sunken, no matter how big the deficit is, there is no trace of it, as long as those salt merchants who know about it are silenced, he can be at peace.”

Manager Qin couldn’t sit still any longer, so he stood up quickly: “Then I’ll go to investigate right now.”

“Assign the staff, first investigate Zhou Huai in Linjiang City!”

After giving the order, Mu Yunyao sat in the government office and waited for the news, and soon the head of Linjiang county government rushed over: “Report to the county master, Zhou Huai, who you want to investigate, has lost his life in the flood. .”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes flickered: “I see, if there is a visit by the master, the master, can the master know about Zhou Huai?”

“Zhou Huai, the richest businessman in Linjiang City, had a close relationship with the magistrate during his lifetime. Linjiang Garden, the most famous garden in Linjiang City, was built by the Zhou family. It’s all good. On weekdays, many well-positioned people like to go to Linjiangyuan to play and have fun, but it’s useless no matter how rich they are, there are so many servants to protect them, and it’s not that the whole family is buried in the flood.”

“Family old and young… Didn’t anyone in the Zhou family escape?”

The master was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed a little: “The county lord said this, I also think it is extremely unusual, more than a hundred people in the Zhou family, large and small, all died, no matter how you look at it, this is unusual. .”

“You said before that the Zhou family and the county magistrate have a good relationship, so did the two of them meet before the river burst?”

“I’m not clear about this, the magistrate is very fond of going to Linjiang Garden, which is the Zhou family’s territory. Even if the two want to meet, it will not be easily noticed.”

Mu Yunyao nodded: “I see. I don’t know where Linjiang Garden is. I’d like to ask the master clerk to show the way. I want to go and have a look.”

“At this time, Linjiangyuan has been resettled with victims, and the county owner may be bumped if he goes.”

“Resettled the victims?”

“Yes, it was arranged by Master Tongzhi. If it is said that such a good place is empty, it is also empty. It is better to provide it to the common people.”

“Did the victims resettle after the river burst, or did I arrange it after I came?”

The master said: “It was arranged after the county master came.”

“I see. It’s just right for the victims to gather. You can help them to see if they are healthy. Let’s lead the way.”

The place where Linjiang Garden is located has not been affected much. At this time, spring is coming, and the garden is full of life. A small garden gate seems to divide the space. Hundreds of flowers are blooming inside the door and the scenery is beautiful.

When Mu Yunyao walked in, there were not many victims in the garden, and they were concentrated in one place, which did not have much impact on other places.

Linjiang Tongzhi knew that Mu Yunyao brought someone to Linjiang Garden, and hurried over: “I have seen the county master.”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes: “Does Master Tongzhi live in this Linjiang Garden?”

“No, no, it’s just that the disaster victims are not resettled here. Xiaguan was really worried, so he came here to help take care of it.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Tongzhi Linjiang with a nervous expression, and suddenly sneered: “Come here, detain him for interrogation, and let him spit out everything he knows!”
