Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 405 Water Rash Epidemic
Ming Zhidu lowered his eyes and smiled, "It's almost time. Wait a little longer until Ming He has finished relieving the disaster. I don't like to take advantage of others' danger."

His words were very beautiful and pleasant to the ears, but Xin Jusong knew very well that Ming Zhidu was not waiting for the people of Daliang to return to normal life, but waiting for Emperor Chongwen Minghe to completely empty out the treasury. By then, their 90,000 bandit troops would be fully equipped with armor and sufficient food and fodder, but the army of the Daliang royal family had already become an empty shell. How long can an army last without money from the treasury as a backing?
Xin Jusong grinned, "I will wait with the prince! However, after the matter is completed, that damn girl of the Yin family..."

Ming Zhidu lowered his eyes and waved his hands, not caring much, "Leave it to you. If we can clear the Baiqi Villa on Changlin Cliff, the nineteen-story golden pagoda on the cliff and the immeasurable wealth of the Yu family will all be ours. By then, Daliang will be the leader of the Three Kingdoms."

Changlin Cliff, Fenghe's small residence on the mountainside.

Yin Luo, who was leaning on the couch and falling asleep, suddenly sneezed and swayed. She suddenly woke up, frowned and looked around the room, and specifically looked at the closed window lattice.

There's no wind blowing in here, so how can I sneeze so easily? Is it possible that I have contracted the cold? Don't do it. She doesn't know where Yu Ruyi is at the moment. Si Ziqi shuts herself up in the back mountain as if she is autistic and doesn't go out. If she gets sick again and falls down, it will really be... She stretched out her hand He pressed his eyebrows and exhaled a long breath.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." She straightened her scattered skirt twice and sat up straight.

The person coming is Chi Linjing.

Today he changed into a plain robe, with dark bamboo patterns flowing on the aqua clothes, low-key and elegant.

Yin Luo noticed that his hair was tied with cyan silk satin instead of the sapphire crown before. The pair of emerald rings he usually wore had long since disappeared. There was no clear and clinking sound when he walked, which made him look a little awkward. .

The girl in the black dress tilted her head and asked, "What's the matter? Where did your pair of emerald rings go?" There was pure curiosity in her eyes.

"Yes." Chi Linjing replied lightly, "I have two messages for you." He sat down on the wooden chair on the soft side of the coffee table and gave Yin Luo a faint look, "Listen first. Good or bad?”

"Why did you take it for granted? Are you short of money?" Yin Luo replied one by one, "Listen to the bad ones first."

Chi Linjing narrowed her eyes and said, "Isn't it because we are short of money? We went to Cuizhou City with Nie Renxi in the morning and pawned all the valuables we had with us that could be exchanged for some money. There was a big epidemic after the disaster. This is not false. Many people in Cuizhou City have been infected with water rash. Maybe the floods and rapids are not clean, and some people have died in Liangli Workshop. "

"Water rash?" Yin Luo suddenly sat up from her slump, her brows furrowed, "Is this the bad news you want to say?"

Chi Linjing nodded and shook his head, "This is just one of the bad news. The secret agent also sent news that there were new discoveries in the Sijiang area. The secret agents saw wood-eating termites in the collapsed dike wood. Following this clue, we found that all the timber on the Twenty-Four Mile Causeway was severely defective before construction, and did not comply with the rules and standards of the Imperial Construction Office. Termites had almost eaten through the inside of the timber. ! This should be the reason why the 24-mile embankment collapsed just after it was built. "Didn't the builders and supervisors notice at all that termites were eating the wood?" Yin Luo thought.

"That kind of termite has been cultivated in trees since childhood, so it is called wood-eating termite." Chi Linjing slowly clenched her fists, "Those woods are without exception, intact on the outside and hollow on the inside. This batch of wood is probably specially made for Prepared for this dike collapse.”

"If a tree wants to grow into a material that can be used as embankment wood, the cultivator must take good care of it for at least ten years." Yin Luo felt a cold feeling behind her back, and she was deeply surprised. "The Baojia Forest Farm has a great reputation and has been built for a century. There has never been any substandard material, how could this happen? What's more, the memorial for building the dam was personally approved by Emperor Chongwen, and he personally requested the Imperial Construction Office to purchase the wood from the Baojia Forest Farm! This is a waste of state treasury, the purchase of defective timber, and the construction of beams and dams, which has resulted in the suffering of thousands of people.”

"Why do you trust him so much?" Chi Linjing's eyes were deep. He stared at Yin Luo. The girl in the black skirt's cheeks were red with excitement, but the trust in her eyes was very obvious, mixed with the anger and dissatisfaction, like He was defending Emperor Chongwen.

"Why don't I believe him?" Yin Luo said without hesitation, "I'm not scolding him. Look at his political achievements over the years, all of which have been to retreat in order to advance. And his reaction to trouble is to avoid him. He didn't rush forward, which shows that he is cautious and timid. He didn't even dare to let Lan Yun investigate the Yin family tragedy. How could he dare to do such a big bad thing and harm Daliang? Some people threw eggshells and wilted vegetable leaves at his chariot..."

Chi Linjing's expression became subtle at a speed visible to the naked eye, "This is why you believe Emperor Chongwen."

"Otherwise?" Yin Luo looked at him, "Do you think it's realistic? Is it realistic for an emperor who dreams of protecting his country to destroy his country?"

Chi Linjing pretended to be convinced by her and wanted to make her happy, so she answered: "That makes sense."

"How do you only know how to respond?" Yin Luo rolled his eyes, thinking that he was perfunctory, "What's the good news?"

"I didn't respond. I really think what you said makes sense. The good news is that Yu Ruyi has been found."

Yin Luo suddenly heard the second half of the sentence and was stunned for a moment. Her tone was particularly soft, "Found him? How is he?"

"It's very good. Nothing happened. It is said that a young couple from Zhenjiang Village on the outskirts of Cuizhou rescued him on the coast of the estuary. Yan Yao went to look for him and accidentally met Zhang Yuan, the deputy envoy of Daliang Antaisi, who was always with him. Zhang Yuan, the man next to Mei Chengting, said that Antaisi came here under the orders of Emperor Chongwen to invite Yu Ruyi back to the palace to meet the emperor, but Yu Ruyi refused. "

"Mian Sage? Which kind of Mian Sage?" Yin Luo didn't understand again, "Yu Ruyi survived the catastrophe, so Emperor Chongwen started counting the money in his pocket?" She added without thinking, "In my opinion, This time, Yu Ruyi refused."

"You do understand him." Chi Linjing smiled, "But although he refused, his rejection was not complete. He is currently on his way to the Sijiang territory with the Antaisi guards and Yan Juan."

"Don't worry about him. Just stay alive and live well. Let him do the rest." An idea came to Yin Luo's mind. She approached Chi Linjing and asked suddenly: "Do you know the people in Cuizhou who are infected with water rash?" How many do they have?"
