Things turned out as Chen Xi expected. Three days later, news of the disaster relief spread from Jiangnan to Shuicheng.

But when the ministers who went to provide disaster relief with Chen Xi heard the news, they all looked at a loss.

They are all still here, who are the people going to provide disaster relief?

Does the lady know about this?

Or is there someone doing this under the guise of a concubine?!!!

Oh my god, this is the rhythm of taking advantage of the opportunity to find trouble!!!

After everyone learned about this incident, their first thought was to see how Chen Xi would react, but Chen Xi listened to the news indifferently.

I just replied "Oh" and that was it.

Just one word made the anxious ministers feel anxious. If it weren't for Chen Xi's prestige, they would have wanted to grab Chen Xi and shake her hard a few times to force her to explain the matter clearly.

Fortunately, Chen Xi was reliable at the critical moment, and he quickly called everyone to prepare and plan to set off.

During this period of time, Huang Shilang indeed randomly found someone to take over what Huang Shilang had done, and perfunctorily carried out what Chen Xi had ordered.

Chen Xi naturally knew that Huang Shilang was perfunctory, but for the sake of future plans, Chen Xi was happy to pretend not to know anything, and handed over the people reported by Huang Shilang to the people below to deal with it.

Mr. Jiang from Shuicheng committed corruption and was thrown into prison by Chen Xi.

Originally, Chen Xi was in charge of the matter, but Chen Xi was about to leave now, and it would take time for the court to send someone over. Chen Xi could only temporarily pick up an official from Lord Jiang's subordinates to temporarily replace Lord Jiang.

vacancy.

After all, the pie fell from the sky, and the other party naturally did her best and did not dare to have any evil thoughts. After all, Mr. Jiang in the prison had learned from the past, so she would not stupidly hit the gun.

Chen Xi, who had no worries, led the large army on the road. The road became more and more desolate, and there was no prosperity at all like what they had heard before.

Jiangnan is a famous land of plenty, with well-connected waterways, and wealthy businessmen often come here to purchase goods or visit, so Jiangnan has always been extremely wealthy.

If this flood hadn't caused many people to leave their homes and seek refuge, how could there have been such a rare sign of desolation.

And the closer you get to Jiangnan, the more shocking the scene becomes.

When they arrived in Jiangnan, the officials in Jiangnan had already received notice of the advance team and were waiting at the city gate early in the morning.

"Your Majesty, you must have been very hard on this journey. Why don't you go and rest for a while? I have already prepared a place for you to rest. You can go and rest for a while to recuperate your spirits until you are ready.

After that, go look around.”

Same recipe, same way of doing things.

The difference is that the faces of Jiangnan officials are full of sorrow, they look skinny, and their complexions are not very good.

For those who didn’t know, they thought they were victims of the disaster who had escaped from somewhere.

"You arrange for the other people to rest first, and I'll go see how the victims are doing first."

Along the way, everyone had been walking day and night, under the stars and the moon, and they were already exhausted.

Now that they have arrived at their destination, it might as well let them rest for a while.

"We'll go together too."

When the ministers saw the morning light and wanted to see the victims, they immediately cheered up and said they would go together.

After all, even the maidens are going, so it doesn't seem good for them to rest by themselves.

"No need," Chen Xi knew everyone's situation and did not agree, "You go to rest first so that you can have enough energy to do what you should do next."

"I'm going to check the situation first, and then I'll have a rest later."

With Jiujiu and Chudai here, Chenxi's situation won't be much worse, and he will naturally have enough energy to go and see how the victims are doing.

The people accompanying him saw that Chen Xi persisted, and they knew what his situation was like, so they naturally did not argue with Chen Xi about such matters.

After watching everyone leave with the officials who came to meet them, Chen Xi and Mr. Li went to the temporary soup kitchen tent together.

"Actually, the situation is much better than before," Master Li looked at the victims waiting in line from a distance and said slowly, "If General Qi hadn't arrived in time, the situation might have been even worse."

"The current situation is much better than in previous years. According to past practices, we are always careful where we should pay attention. Symptoms that may have appeared in previous years have not yet occurred."

"Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean it won't happen," Chen Xi remembered that the first generation said that if he intervened in this matter, something that didn't happen would probably happen. "The most important thing is to always be vigilant."

"By the way," Chen Xi suddenly remembered, "When I was in Shuicheng, I found some silver coins that had been embezzled in previous years. You sent people to take these silver coins to buy medicines in pharmacies in several nearby towns."

"It's okay when there are no conditions. Now that there are conditions, it's natural to be prepared and take precautions. Otherwise, if something does happen, it will be too late."

"good."

Mr. Li was obviously taken aback, and then said excitedly, "I'll let someone do it now."

Not long after Mr. Li left, General Qi also came over.

"Not long after I heard that I left, His Highness was almost assassinated. Were he injured?"

This is the inconvenience of ancient times. It takes a long time to transmit a message. General Qi only received the message about what happened a few days ago.

If General Qi hadn't received the news, the morning sun was already approaching the south of the Yangtze River, and General Qi might have rushed back.

"It's okay, it's just that Master is dead."

Speaking of this, Chen Xi's tone was full of pity, "I was just a little bit close to knowing who took the silver, but in the end, I was careless and fell short of the success."

But no, if she hadn't been careless, she might have been able to take the opportunity to deal with Yan Lingqing directly.

The Queen valued the original owner so much. After everyone thought that the original owner had embezzled the money for disaster relief, she knew that the original owner had been wronged, but she still dealt with the original owner ruthlessly.

If it were Yan Lingqing, given the solid evidence, the Queen might be so angry that she might even kill her relatives.

Wouldn't it be better if you don't have to do it yourself and can easily defeat the enemy?

"Your Highness, it's just fine."

General Qi was relieved to know that Chen Xi was not injured. General Qi was not surprised that he could not find the person behind the master.

After all, behind these corrupt officials, there are some royal nobles standing, pulling out carrots and bringing out the mud.

If it is found that there is a problem with one of them, some people will be taken out one after another.

In this case, finding nothing is the best result.

"General Qi, can I ask you to do something?"

Chen Xi suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Every year when floods occur, there are always a lot of bandits. I asked Mr. Li to go to nearby towns to buy medicinal herbs. I am worried about what dangers may be encountered along the way. Can you arrange some people to protect them?"

This matter is not Chen Xi's unfounded worry, but the same thing has happened in the memory of the original owner.

When floods occurred, many merchants took the opportunity to drive up prices, and the silver coins that were originally enough were soon dwarfed by comparison.

Blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

On the way back from transporting the medicinal materials, we encountered bandits and bandits. All the medicinal materials were robbed, and those that could not be taken were destroyed and could no longer be used.

It took a long time to redeploy the silver, and a lot of people died in that flood.

Because of this incident, the Queen severely rectified the local security situation and ordered the suppression of bandits, and the situation improved.

Chen Xi didn't think so much at first, but suddenly remembered the possible variables mentioned in the first generation, and thought it was better to prepare for a rainy day.

"I will make arrangements now."

General Qi also knew what had happened and the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately agreed to the matter.

After General Qi left, Chen Xi looked around and made sure there was nothing that needed help, then went back to rest.

After all, after traveling for so long, even an iron man can't bear it anymore.

Things on Chenxi's side have gradually become smoother, while Gongsun Xiuyun's time has been somewhat ups and downs.

Originally, Yan Lingqing was hunted down, but luckily nothing happened and she was saved instead.

Perhaps because of this incident, General Zhenbei felt that there might be room for repairing the relationship between them, so he sent people to Gongsun Xiuyun without stopping to search for a lot of rare things.

She didn't dare to send it off in person, so she asked her children and grandchildren to send it off for her.

After this back and forth, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and there was no longer any awkwardness and discomfort when they first met.

But that's all. After all, once there is a gap in the heart, how can it be repaired overnight?

However, even so, General Zhenbei was satisfied.

After all, she didn't even dare to think about the possibility that the two of them could coexist in the same space before. Now that they can sit down and drink tea together calmly, it is already a big improvement.

Only when people learn to be content can they feel happy.

General Zhenbei was contented, but Gongsun Xiuyun's life was in dire straits.

Originally, because Gongsun Xiujun rarely showed up, and because he was a child whose stepfather did not care for him and whose mother did not love him, everyone paid very little attention to him. After marrying Chen Xi, everyone even avoided him because of the original owner.

Far away.

Later, after severing all relations with Prime Minister Gongsun, although everyone felt that Gongsun Xiuyun had integrity, it was limited to this.

A person who has no support from his natal family or other backers is not worth winning over.

In the adult world, there is more than just three words of backbone that can lead to success.
