Si Yunlan did not try to offend Si Ning. He did have important things to do. He was busy checking the spies around him. The Yellow River Road was built on the boundary of Yinchuan. How could he ignore it?

In addition to personal investigation, he also arranged for a special person to visit the Yinchuan Dam every day, but as a result, when he went there, he saw nothing.

The person he arranged didn't respond at all.

There must be spies around him. He must dig out these people and be careful not to alert others. He has been really busy these days.

But the Yinchuan section of the Yellow River is considered to be within his jurisdiction. He is the county magistrate of Yinchuan, and this is his responsibility.

Although all matters related to the Yellow River's channels and dams were previously in charge of the governor Liu Yuan, how could he answer His Majesty with the word "I don't know" when he met with His Majesty.

He has now committed the crime of negligence, and must find out what Liu Yuan did in the Huanghe corruption case before His Majesty's decree is issued.

Regarding the importance of the Yellow River embankment, Si Yunlan, the magistrate of Yinchuan County, knew much more than Si Ning.

The Yellow River has been called a troubled river since ancient times. It originates from the Xingxiu Sea and flows through the Loess Plateau on the upper bank. It flows down rapidly. In a bucket, sand ranks sixth. For example, after Kaifeng, the city was flat, the water flow was slow, and the river was silted up with sand.

Eastern Henan, southern Anhui, and Yinchuan are the places where it is raging, and officials of past dynasties have suffered from the inability to cure it.

Since the Great Conquest and the establishment of the dynasty, the management of the Yellow River has been regarded as the first priority. If the Yellow River bursts its embankments in ten days, the country may not be able to protect it. Therefore, the Yellow River embankments are repaired almost every year with minor repairs and major repairs every other year.

Inheriting the achievements of our ancestors, although the Yellow River has burst its banks in recent years, the casualties are still within controllable limits.

As for the dam built by Lin Jingdan, it is a piece of paper. If the river flow is small during the flood season, it will be okay. If some natural disaster occurs, the people of Yinchuan will be too late.

While Si Yunlan was still busy, Si Ning had already walked around the busiest streets in Yinchuan.

Shuoshan's hands were filled with things that Si Ning had bought, and Lulu on the side gave him a helpless look.

Shuoshan exerted his strength on his arm and bumped the thing in his hand upwards. He looked at the princess with a look of despair on his face, who was still very interested in shopping in front of him for an hour.

It was too tiring to go shopping with others, so he would rather run around Yinchuan ten times.

"Are you tired?" Si Ning suddenly stopped and asked them.

Shuoshan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was interrupted by Luzhu just as he was about to speak, "We are not tired, are you tired, Princess?"

Shuoshan: Aren’t you tired?

"I'm really tired after walking for so long. There's an inn ahead. Let's go have something to eat and take a rest."

I've been walking for an hour, and I'm really tired.

Shuoshan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what she said.

Coincidentally, the inn that Si Ning chose happened to be the one where Li Su stayed.

After wandering around for so long, Si Ning was indeed tired. After sitting down, he asked the waiter to hurry up and serve a table of food.

Luzhu and Shuoshan stood still and refused to sit down at first, but Si Ning had to ask them several times before they sat down.

"You're all tired. Let's rest for a while. Let's go back after dinner." Si Ning looked at the trophies placed at their feet. He really bought a lot of things this time.

However, what she bought were some local specialties. The papers for Lin Jingdan's impeachment had been sent to the capital. When the news came from the capital, it was time for her to return to the capital.

Her mission is to reveal the truth. As for what to do next, she believes that the emperor's uncle will handle it well.

The chef at the inn acted quickly, and it didn't take long for Si Ning and his friends to have their dishes ready. Just as Si Ning was about to ask Lu Zhu and the others to eat, he saw a familiar figure coming up to the second floor.

Jingyun? Si Ning frowned. If Jingyun appears here, it means that Li Su is also there.

Si Ning felt a little irritated. He didn't expect to encounter him like this. He really didn't look at the almanac when he went out today. He might as well leave quickly after dinner.

"Princess, what are you looking at?" Luzhu asked as she watched the princess looking at the second floor in a daze.

"It's nothing." Si Ning came to his senses and said, "Use them all. Don't be restrained, you two. Eat more."

…

Jing Yun went up to the second floor and knocked on Li Su's door. When he saw a voice coming from inside asking him to come in, he opened the door and went in, then closed the door behind his back.

"Master..." Jing Yun hesitated for a moment and then said, "My subordinate saw Princess Changle downstairs.

"Yes." Li Su put down the book in his hand and responded lightly, "What was the result of the surveillance?"

Jing Yun didn't expect his master's reaction to be so dull. He must have been used to Princess Changle's stalking, but he didn't know why he didn't hang around his master this time. Instead, he took his maid and servant to eat downstairs.

, is it playing hard to get?

Jingyun heard Li Su's inquiry before he had time to think about it.

He hurriedly said, "Back to the master, my subordinates followed the salt officer for two days. Yesterday he went to a private house in Changping Lane and stayed there for three-quarters of an hour before leaving.

My subordinates found out that the private house is the house of You Shui'an, the master of the Yinchuan Governor's Office."

"As expected." Li Su's eyes flashed with realization, "Songbai, please tell me again what you found out."

"Yes." Songbai was sent out to investigate the true situation of Yinchuan Salt Well. He came back two hours earlier than Jingyun. He told what he had found out again.

It turns out that there were originally ten salt wells in Yinchuan, and the annual salt production was about 400,000 jins. The previous report submitted by the Yinchuan governor stated that the salt production was 460,000 jins, which was not only a lot, but a lot more.

This means that there is no shortage of salt in Yinchuan, but where does the salt in Maoliu's hands come from?

Salt cannot appear out of thin air, and private salt cannot be produced from those ten salt wells.

This means that there must be unknown salt wells in Yinchuan.

After Songbai went to investigate, he found that there was indeed an unknown salt well hidden in the Helan Mountains of Yinchuan. It was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and Songbai did not dare to go deep for fear of disturbing the grass and alerting snakes.

"Then it becomes clear that the mastermind behind this incident is Liu Yuan, the governor of Yinchuan." Jing Yun clapped his hands and said.

Songbai gave him a look of disgust, wasn't it obvious?

"Songbai, take the imperial edict and immediately go to the Shizuishan camp to recruit troops. Let them be divided into three teams. One team will go to Helan Mountain, one team will go to the Governor's Mansion, and the rest will guard the intersection out of the city."

There were only three of them on this trip, so naturally they couldn't confront each other head-on. Li Su had already thought of a plan before they came.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

After Songbai left, Jingyun looked at Li Su and hesitated, "Master, why don't you mobilize troops from the Yinchuan camp? It's obviously closer there."

Li Su glanced at him and said, "Think for yourself."

After speaking, Li Su opened the door and walked out.
