Nine-thousand-year-old palm flower is not easy to mess with

Chapter 243 Water Control Task
Chu Lian didn't ask Yao Suyu, nor did he force her to stay because of their relationship.

Because Chu Lian knew that even though he tried his best to keep her, her heart was still not with him.

Since Yao Suyu met the Holy Maiden that day, her heart became extremely heavy, and her bright smile in the past rarely appeared.

Chu Lian thought it was because of him, so he avoided Yao Suyu intentionally or unintentionally. Feeling depressed, he could only vent his anger on other people.

With Qi Yue's secret help, Chu Lian was like a fish in water, and began to punish the courtiers. For a while, Chu Lian couldn't help turning pale when he saw Chu Lian.

"Would it be too ostentatious for us to do things like this?" Qi Yue stood not far from Chu Lian, hesitated for a long time, and said slowly.

With one hand behind his back, Chu Lian looked at the big tree blown by the wind in the distance, "Yes. But it must be so."

Because the villain is in power, the people are caught in fire and water, and the courtiers are greedy for pleasure, and regard the suffering of the people as nothing.

The people are miserable, and now is his chance to eradicate the pests and regain his reputation.

Only by getting rid of those people can the people continue to survive.

So, he doesn't regret it.

Seeing that Chu Lian had made up his mind, Qi Yue did not continue to dissuade him.

Although Chu Lian is his rival in love, he has to admit that Chu Lian is a gentleman.

He is a gentleman who cares about the people.

After getting in touch with him, Qi Yue knew that this man was a man of great stature and strategy, and his methods were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Their actions were too big and involved many courtiers, most of them were close friends of Wei Gaojin and Yue Zongsheng.

Chu Lian undoubtedly aroused the rebellion between the two of them.

Royal Palace.

Yue Zongsheng's cold face was mixed with anger, "Wei Gaojin, I asked you to deal with Chu Lian's affairs, how did you do it! Chu Lian took off my left and right arms and made it difficult for me to move. Are you guilty?"

Wei Gaojin fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "The villain is guilty. The villain didn't expect Chu Lian to move so fast."

Without even giving him a chance to react, he announced all the criminal evidence, catching them by surprise.

"I'll give you three days, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless." Yue Zongsheng was furious, his face extremely gloomy.

Wei Gaojin didn't dare to take a breath, he responded quickly, and didn't dare to raise his head until Yue Zongsheng left.

When he walked out of the palace, his back was already soaked with sweat, and his hatred for Chu Lian reached its peak, and he wished to cut him into pieces.

Chu Lian's actions also attracted the attention of the First Prince and the Second Prince.

The eldest prince took the initiative to enter the palace to find Concubine Xian, "Mother Concubine, Wei Gaojin is investigating Chu Lian recently, should we take this opportunity to do something?"

Concubine Xian was thoughtful, and said slowly: "You do it more concealed, don't let people find out."

The recent turmoil in the court, many people have their eyes on Chu Lian, maybe they can take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate him in one fell swoop, maybe it is better to please the emperor.

However, of course, the eldest prince cannot do this matter himself, lest it arouse Chu Lian's vigilance or cause disaster.

Wei Gaojin's people stared at Chu Lian day and night, without missing any details.

"Is what you said true? Are those villagers really the remnants of the previous dynasty?" Wei Gaojin couldn't hide his shock. He didn't expect Chu Lian to have contact with people from the previous dynasty.

Kneeling on the ground with his hands, he handed over a note, "Those people are indeed remnants of the previous dynasty, and Chu Lian deliberately let them go."

When Wei Gaojin saw the words on the paper, he immediately let out a satisfied laugh, "Chu Lian, Chu Lian, I finally caught you this time."

Although Chu Lian may have a connection with the previous court, it is not fatal, what he wants is Chu Lian's head to fall.

Therefore, he did not tell Yue Zongsheng the news immediately, but continued to send people to watch Chu Lian.

"Your Majesty, the Jiangnan area has been raining continuously for several months. Houses have collapsed, food has been flooded, people have been displaced, and dead bodies are everywhere. It's like a flood."

Kneeling in the hall was a senior member of the third grade who was about fifty years old. Yue Zongsheng heard the words and said angrily: "Why didn't you report it earlier?"

If the local officials could have discovered it earlier, there might be a chance of saving it, but now it seems that it will not work.

"I'm guilty! Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to save the people from the fire." The old minister didn't argue, but was worried.

Since ancient times, floods have been a great disaster.Every time a flood occurs, the people will be displaced, which will also cause great damage to the foundation of the country.

Just as Yue Zongsheng was about to get angry, he caught a glimpse of Chu Lian from the corner of his eye, and a plan quietly took shape in his mind.

"What Ai Qing said is very true, for the current plan, the safety of the people is the most important thing.

Governor of Chu, I order you to go to control the flood.If there is no satisfactory answer, I will not easily forgive you. "

Yue Zongsheng was seeing that he had no chance to punish Chu Lian, so a chance came to him.

Chu Lian didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately bowed his hands, "My minister obeys the order."

Because of flood control, Yue Zongsheng specially opened the treasury, pulled out some silver and sent it to the governor's mansion.

However, due to Yue Zongsheng's extravagance, the treasury was empty, and the money drawn out was not much.

Yao Suyu looked at the boxes in the yard and clicked his tongue twice, "The emperor is really generous. I asked you to go to the south of the Yangtze River to control the water, but I only gave you this little thing. Is this enough?"

Chu Lian was used to Yao Suyu's straightforwardness, and did not point out her fault, "It's not enough."

He didn't expect that Yue Zongsheng didn't care about the life and death of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, which was really disappointing.

"You, when are you leaving?" Yao Suyu asked.

As time passed, the atmosphere between Yao Suyu and Chu Lian was no longer as awkward as before, and getting along was very natural.

Hearing this, Chu Lian looked at her with deep eyes, Yao Suyu felt a little hot, so she looked away.

Only then did Chu Lian close his eyes, "Three days later."

Yue Zongsheng deliberately threw this mess to him in order to take this opportunity to take him down.

Of course Chu Lian would not let others bully him, and decided to rush to Jiangnan immediately.

"So fast!" Yao Suyu blurted out.

Chu Lian shook his head, "It's already very slow."

He was supposed to leave tomorrow, but because he sent too many things, he had to stay for a few more days.

There is another very important thing, that is, he is somewhat reluctant to let go of Yao Suyu.

"Let's go, I'll come back in a month or two at the earliest, and I can return to the capital in four or five months at the slowest. You must be careful when you are alone."

Chu Lian raised his eyes, his dark eyes were filled with warmth and worry.

Yao Suyu's temperament, without him taking care of him in the capital, it's hard to guarantee that something will happen.

"So long?" Yao Suyu was surprised.

In ancient times, communication was difficult, the roads were long, and the road to the south of the Yangtze River was far away.

"Well. Don't worry. I will definitely send someone to guard you to ensure your safety. You can rest assured about this.

However, you are alone in the governor's mansion, so don't say too much, otherwise it will be heard by interested people, and you will be imprisoned in vain. "Chu Lian enjoined.
