After punishing the local officials, Ying Zheng immediately conveyed the news to the Ministry of Civil Affairs through the telegraph machine, asking them to mobilize capable officials to take office nearby to solve the flood in Nanzhou City!

As for Yuan Pengxing, Jiang Dalei and others, they were escorted by the guards. They were given rations when they should and beheaded when they should be!

When passing through Nanzhou City, he was spurned by the people in the city.

That night, the first batch of disaster relief food arrived in Nanzhou City smoothly.

Carriages entered the city in an endless stream, and hundreds of thousands of disaster victims kept cheering!

Soon, the relief food was cooked into real rice and delivered to the victims in the city in waves!

"Great, we can finally have a full meal!"

"Yes! If His Majesty and His Royal Highness hadn't come here, I'm afraid we would have starved to death in the city!"

"Now His Majesty not only keeps us well fed, but also built us a shelter to protect us from the wind and rain. He really cares about our people...!"

The victims held bowls of white rice with tears in their eyes.

They all went to the official gate and knelt down.

Kang Anping and others tried to persuade him many times, but they refused to leave!

It wasn't until Ying Zheng came forward with Ying Feiyu and asked them to kowtow and thank them in person that they dispersed!

Early the next morning, several carriages arrived at full speed.

The people on the carriage were the newly appointed county governor, county magistrate, county magistrate and others.

First, he saluted Ying Zheng and others, and then went to the city to inspect the situation of the victims. He took strong young people with him to dig canals and clear out the silt, so that the remaining floodwaters would recede as soon as possible and the victims could return to their homes!

After the victims had eaten and drank enough, they had gained strength and were willing to work together!

Autumn is coming soon, they can't live in temporary shacks on the street!

"I hope this group of officials can fulfill their duties and really do something practical for the people!"

Seeing the officials who had just taken office working so hard, Ying Zheng said quietly.

Of course, he also knew that this was just a show under his nose.

After he leaves, the true nature of these officials will gradually be revealed!

Not only do we want them to be honest and upright, at least they should not be like the previous officials who did all the bad things!

"Father, don't worry! With the popularization of telegraph machines, news from various places will be conveyed to Xianyang faster. I believe this kind of thing will never happen again!"

Ying Feiyu smiled and comforted.

Of course, this is only for comfort!

Even in later generations, when technology is extremely advanced, people like Jiang Dalei are not uncommon!

Even if policies are issued one after another and there are constant blows, they still cannot be stopped!

"Well! I am expanding my territory this time. When you become emperor, I will manage the internal affairs well so that these corrupt officials can have no hiding place!"

"Father, you are so good, why are you bringing this up again?"

Ying Feiyu's two little eyebrows suddenly knit together.

"Haha! You kid! From ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other for the sake of the throne. But this is the first time I have seen someone like you who makes a grimace whenever the Zen position is mentioned!"

Seeing his appearance, Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

In his heart, this little son is better than his predecessor.

Not only does he have courage and perseverance, but he also has a heart that loves the people like a son and hates evil like an enemy!

The most important thing is that this kid always has some weird things in his little head.

However, these strange and weird things can promote the development of Qin every time and benefit the country and the people!

For these reasons, this boy is the best candidate to succeed the throne!

"Compared with the throne, I would rather be an idle prince, earn a little money, eat, drink and have fun all day long. Wouldn't it be happy?"

This is really Ying Feiyu's dream all along.

He doesn't want to worry about any major national affairs, and worries about whether someone is plotting against him every day!

"Humph! You kid, go ahead and dream! You kid must protect the country that I worked so hard to win!"

Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and snorted twice.

"Father..."

"Report..."

Originally, Ying Feiyu wanted to say something more, but at this moment, a guard suddenly ran over and handed over his hand to report.

"Say it!"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.

He thought to himself: This guard came just in time, saving this guy the trouble!

"Your Majesty, Marquis Tongwu learned during his visit that several young people with suspicious behavior were staying at the inn recently, but they all checked out the day before the flood!"

The guard gave a simple and clear report.

"What? Let's go! Take a look!"

After speaking, Ying Zheng followed the guards to the inn.

He wanted to see who dared to deliberately plot against his great Qin country!

…

"Shopkeeper, if you think about it again, see what else you can recall. This is really important to the court and to us, Da Qin!"

In the inn, Wang Ben put his elbows on the counter and kept questioning him.

But the shopkeeper behind the counter frowned, thinking hard, and finally said with regret, "Master, I'm so sorry, I said everything I needed to say, and I really can't think of anything else!"

"Think about it again, think about it again, what else will there be if you don't protect everything!"

Wang Ben seemed unwilling to give up.

You know, any detail may determine the identity of the other party!

"Ouch! Sir, please forgive me, I really can't remember it! If I wait until I remember something, can I report it to you?"

Perhaps Wang Ben pushed too hard, and the shopkeeper almost cried.

"Your Majesty has arrived...!"

The guard's sudden voice really startled the two of them, and they hurried to the door and greeted them respectfully.

"How's it going? What news did you find?"

Ying Zheng walked through the door, found a chair, sat down, and listened to Wang Ben's report.

"Your Majesty, I visited around a lot, and there were quite a few people who heard the sound of chisels hitting the embankment. But since no one was found, everyone fell into self-doubt. They thought they heard it wrong, and no one paid attention!

"

"Although Nanzhou City is not a big county, it is still quite small. There are so many people coming and going every day, and no one notices anything unusual. Only the shopkeeper of this inn said that there have been several young people there recently.

Living here, the accent doesn’t sound like a local! They go out with a bamboo basket on their backs every day and come back after dark! They didn’t check out until the day before the flood!”

Wang Ben gave a general summary of what he learned today.

"A few young people carrying bamboo baskets...?"

Ying Zheng frowned, suddenly feeling suspicious, and then turned his attention to the shopkeeper, "Do you still remember the appearance of those young people?"

"Back...back to Your Majesty, it rained a lot some time ago, so they all wear raincoats and rain hats every time they go out. The rain hats are so wide that they can't see their faces at all!"

The shopkeeper is just a common man, and the biggest official he has ever seen is their county magistrate.

Today, so many big shots came all of a sudden, which frightened him and made his heart beat wildly!
