She has always been arrogant and has a high opinion of herself. She doesn't like to rely on others, let alone a woman who is attached to Shen Ruzhi. She doesn't care at all.

"Okay, I don't want to pursue this matter. Whether Zichai lives or dies depends on her fate."

"No matter what, I hope Zichai is safe."

Shen Fu's expression was full of worry. He really regarded Zichai as a younger sister.

"Of course!"

Jiang Wu nodded, "By the way, is there any movement from the Third Prince?"

An Yi's revenge must be avenged, but now is not the time.

"We have been sending people to monitor, but there are no flaws offline."

The third prince seems to be very favored by the emperor recently. He has solved many major cases in just half a month.

"There has been a drought in Yuzhou City recently. Many people have lost their harvest. Many victims have flocked to the capital. Starting tomorrow, the government offices of various states will distribute porridge."

"Food is the top priority. We must not only relieve the victims, but also ensure the military food supply for the court. In this way, food consumption will increase."

"Leave this matter to me and I will allocate all the disaster relief funds."

Shen Fu pondered for a moment and said: "Although the disaster relief money is enough, if there is a large influx of victims, it will be too late for the court to provide relief. I suggest that we send people to investigate the source of the refugees first. If Someone really fanned the flames deliberately, and everything was solved."

"we can only do this."

Jiang Wu nodded, "This matter must be done in front of the third prince."

The next day, Jingzhao Yin Mansion sent people to Yuzhou City to investigate, but everything was as usual.

No one reported the seriousness of the disaster, the number of victims, and the lack of relief funds.

Shen Fu came to the court and was ready to report some clues he had found.

In order to solve the case as soon as possible!

The emperor was reviewing the memorial without even looking up, "Tell me, what's going on with these victims? Why didn't anyone report the lack of money for the disaster relief?"

Shen Fu lowered his head, "Weichen was also wondering about this problem. Weichen sent people to investigate and found that the identities of these victims were not simple. In fact, everyone knew that the disaster in Yuzhou City was not a natural disaster, but a natural disaster. It’s a man-made disaster!”

Shen Fu paused and continued: "Among the victims, there are many officials and officials. They are all wealthy and powerful families. Every five or six days, victims will flock to the capital or go to the court to request relief."

"These victims are all children of wealthy families. Some have grown up, and some are children who grew up under the protection of their families. Many of these children were raised by official families. Rich playboy."

"They act wantonly in the capital, oppressing good people, and bringing disaster to the countryside. Many of these victims are innocent people, which is why such a tragedy occurred."

The emperor frowned tightly after listening to Shen Fu's analysis.

"It's so serious, is there any evidence?"

Shen Fu shook his head, "We can only guess. After all, the origins of these victims are too strange. Without evidence, it will be difficult to convince others."

"Since there is no evidence, then let's just stand still!"

Shen Fu nodded.

Seeing that he had made great achievements, the emperor put down the ink pen in his hand.

“I’ll leave it to you to investigate and deal with the matters in Yuzhou City!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Shen Fu retreated respectfully.

When he returned home, Shen Fu saw Jiang Wu resting on the bed.

"Ah Wu, I will go to Yuzhou City early tomorrow morning to investigate the corruption of disaster relief food. Would you like to go with me?"

"Is this a visit incognito?"

"Yeah!"

A flash of light flashed in Shen Fu's eyes, this was his chance.Jiang Wu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay!"

Early on the third day, the court issued a call and ordered all officials to line up on the street to receive relief food and clothing.

This time the court's disaster relief can be used to test which officials can be reused and which ones can enrich their own pockets.

Yuzhou City.

Jiang Wu only brought Yuerong with her this time.

Because she wants Cuizhu to stay in the yard and take good care of Fangrong.After all, Fangrong is now Liujia.

If you run around with her, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on the fetus in your belly.

The carriage to Yuzhou City is very fast.

That night, everyone stayed at a wine shop.

Since this was a low-key trip, they could bring as few people as possible. Jiang Wu and Yuerong only brought a few changes of clothes.

"Oh, no, that store is a shady store. Our payment has been exchanged long ago!"

When Yuerong was packing her bags, she found that the bank notes had been replaced by a pile of white paper.

Even the finest silk and satin were replaced by linen and coarse clothes.These thieves are getting more and more cunning!

Yuerong was so angry that she wanted to rush into the store immediately and arrest the store owner for questioning!

Jiang Wu was also a little surprised.

"How does the store do business and dare to replace things?"

"Miss, don't worry, I'm going to arrest the shopkeeper now and question him!"

After Yuerong finished speaking, she immediately ran out of the restaurant and asked Shen Fu to shout to him to stop.

"Don't scare the snake!"

"But Your Highness..."

"Just call the young master outside."

Shen Fu was originally visiting incognito. He didn't want to arouse the suspicion of officials and people in Yuzhou City, which would make it difficult to implement his plan.

"Yes." Yuerong had no choice but to nod, "Now, slave, go see what food the waiter has prepared."

After Yuerong left, Shen Fu sat down.

Shen Fu knew that if this matter was not resolved, he would definitely not be able to successfully complete the task, so he had to find evidence as soon as possible.

"Ms. sir, are you worried about the disaster relief funds?"

Jiang Wu is Shen Fu's Jie Yuhua. She can tell at a glance what the other person's headache is.
"Yes, how do you think this matter will end?"

"This matter is indeed difficult, but sir, these officials are all old foxes, and there is no way they can easily believe what we say."

"So, what can you do?"

Jiang Wu smiled and said, "This matter is very simple, sir. Tomorrow we will go to the place where porridge is made in Yuzhou City to have a look. If you want to understand the local people's livelihood, you must first pretend to be a refugee."

Jiang Wu's suggestion touched him quite a bit.

You have to dress up as a refugee and blend in with the victims so that you can better sympathize with the people.

Early that morning, the two of them took Yue Rong and put on coarse linen clothes and came to the center of the crowd.

Early in the morning, a long queue formed at the city gate, waiting for the Yamen to deliver porridge.

But when it was three o'clock in the morning, no one came to the porridge shed.

Someone actually fainted due to heatstroke. Jiang Wu rushed forward and dragged the frail old woman to a shady place. "Are you okay? Drink some water."
