The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 222 Bet
The prefect of Yongzhou still has quite a collection of books, covering a wide range of subjects, from folklore to unofficial history to medical books. Situ Yan and Qin Wange had many things that were inconvenient to show up, so they ran to the library to read.

After a long time, Qin Wange still remembered that time.

At that time, the years were quiet and beautiful, the sun outside the window was like fire, and the cicadas were singing. Two people in the library were flipping through the books. Although they didn’t speak, they could be with each other. I can only hear the sound of each other turning the pages of the book.

……

The evidence of Lin Yong's corruption, bribery, collusion with foreigners, and framing of a good general is conclusive. After Liu Chenyue found out one by one, he and his related party members were put in prison, waiting to be released.

As for Xiang Huaian's injustice, Tang Zhongze sighed and said after hearing about it: "The emperor is so confused, he listened to the villain's words and didn't investigate. He almost let a generation of good generals be wronged and died."

Wan Fan sighed, Tang Zhongze became more and more frustrated with Situ Rui, and became more determined to support Situ Yan.

Almost half of the officials in Yongzhou were uprooted. Tang Zhongze reported what he had investigated to the court. He didn't know how furious Situ Rui would be when he saw the memorial.

You must know that most of the officials in Yongzhou, such as Lin Yong, were promoted by him, and those who committed crimes were also Situ Rui's own people.He probably has no face to face the world.

Qin Wange doesn't pick books, only interesting ones.

Qin Wange took a look at Situ Yan, and found that he was reading a series of books such as the local county annals of Yongzhou, and didn't know what to do.

The time to come to Yongzhou this time was longer than I expected. Seeing that a month was about to pass, and it was already August, Qin Wange proposed to return to Beijing.

But Situ Yan still said calmly: "I can't return to Beijing for the time being."

Qin Wange looked at Situ Yan suspiciously. The matter in Yongzhou has been settled, and he hasn't returned to Beijing yet, what is he going to do.

Situ Yan said: "Although the floods in Yongzhou this year have ended, and the officials have been punished as they should, but after the floods every year, it is not a cure for the symptoms, not the root cause."

The two were talking, when Tang Zhongze also came in and said: "What Lanyue said is that the floods in Yongzhou happen every year, causing incalculable losses to the people on both sides of the strait. Even if the imperial court will distribute silver taels for disaster relief every year, But it’s not a long-term solution.”

"So, you mean to find a cure?" Qin Wange looked at Situ Yan.

He had a calm expression, but nodded.

It turned out that he has been running in and out these days, taking a boat to cruise the river every day, not just for fun, but mainly for surveying the terrain.When he came back, he read the county annals in the study, and it was also for this matter.

Qin Wange was surprised, but soon calmed down: This is what Situ Yan would do.

A smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, although it was shallow and fleeting, it was filled with an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and pride.

But she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded at Situ Yan's actions. This person is really, obviously going to do serious things, but he just made it look like he was playing.

"Yongzhou originally had fertile land, which was the most suitable for growing crops. If it weren't for the annual floods, Yongzhou's generation is close to the Huaihe River, and the annual harvest is no worse than that of the Jiangnan area. Now the problem of water bandits has been solved. If the problem of flooding can be properly solved, we can It takes two or three years to recuperate, and instead of relying on relief from the imperial court every year, Yongzhou can pay tribute to the imperial court." He Qingwen said slowly.

He Qingwen is a typical scholar, in his 20s, looks refined, with delicate features, refined and harmless.

But he was able to collect so much criminal evidence of Lin Yong quietly, which showed that this young man was far from being as simple as he appeared on the surface.

After Situ Yan met He Qingwen for the first time, he privately said that He Qingwen was worthy of being Zuo Xiang's disciples, one was an old fox and the other was a young fox.

Qin Wange resisted the urge to laugh at that time, and asked in a very speechless tone: "Could it be that the prince has seen the left prime minister when he was young?"

Of course, it was impossible for Situ Yan to meet him before, but he shrugged his shoulders and said as a matter of course: "It is said that three years old must be eighty. Teacher's current stubborn temper should have been stereotyped since he was young."

Qin Wange was left speechless by his natural remarks.All I can say is, it makes sense.When it comes to him, the crooked reasoning has also become the right one, which is too scary.

"It's just that the geographical location of Yongzhou is special. It's in a basin. It's rainy in summer. The excess rainwater will be irrigated to Yongzhou. The reason why the officials in Yongzhou have been unable to completely eliminate the floods over the years." Liu Chenyue said, still the same as before. Poker face.

Tang Zhongze looked at Situ Yan and asked, "You've been busy in and out these few days, but have you found a good solution?"

Before Situ Yan could speak, Liu Chenyue thought of something and said, "By the way, I was just coming back, and I saw Chu Daxia and Feiyue girl leaving in a hurry on the street, and they asked me to say goodbye to the prince and you, saying yes After receiving the letter from the Cangyun faction, there was an urgent matter at Cangshan, so I went back first, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to the young master, and I will see you later."

After hearing Liu Chenyue's words, Qin Wange breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little bit more regretful.

After this farewell, maybe I will never see my senior brother again in this life.

If there is anyone in this world that she still misses, it is the brothers and sisters on Master Cangshan.

It's just that, for them, there is no Qin Wange and their little eleven in this world anymore.

Little Eleven has been gone since he broke up with Master that year.And Qin Wange, the queen of Xiling, who died in the palace, has now been revived and turned into An Lingsu, the princess of Southern Xinjiang.

She has nothing to do with the Cangyun faction or the towering Cangshan Mountain.

When Situ Yan heard the news that Chu Li had left first, he couldn't help saying with some regret: "I originally invited Brother Chu to have a drink, but I didn't expect him to leave so soon."

But in fact, what he regrets is that he couldn't get Chu Li to help uncover Qin Wange's mystery in time.

"Let's continue talking about the flood in Yongzhou. Could it be that you have other ways to deal with the flood in Yongzhou?" He Qingwen said.

"Lanyue, don't forget the bet you made with the old man before you came here. You said that the flood in Yongzhou must be completely resolved. Although the disaster relief has been properly arranged, those corrupt officials have been punished as they should. punishment, but the hidden danger of the flood in Yongzhou is still here, and it is not completely solved." Tang Zhongze said to Situ Yan with a faint smile on his lips.

Looking at Tang Zhongze like this, Qin Wange inexplicably thought of what Situ Yan had said about Tang Zhongze before, that he was indeed an old fox.

Situ Yan looked at Qin Wange helplessly, which probably meant: I knew that the matter in Yongzhou would not be resolved so easily.

Situ Yan asked: "Master He, do you have a map of Yongzhou?"

He Qingwen was the prefect of Yongzhou, so he naturally had a map of Yongzhou, so he immediately ordered someone to take out the map of Yongzhou.

Because of Situ Yan's special status, the less people know about his status, the better, so he has always been addressed as Lanyue to the outside world.Even He Qingwen didn't know the truth.

But He Qingwen is a smart man. Seeing Situ Yan's extraordinary bearing and nobility, although he looks very easy-going on the surface, even Liu Chenyue and Song Zifeng, two first-rank officials, respect him very much. His mentor also paid him three points of respect, so he guessed that this person must have a high status.

However, if they didn't say anything, He Qingwen didn't ask any questions, and always regarded Situ Yan as the son of Lanyue who was helping the disaster in Yongzhou.However, when he spoke and acted, he was very polite to Situ Yan.

Such a young man who knows how to measure and how to advance and retreat, no wonder Situ Yan called him a little fox.

He Qingwen asked someone to bring a map of Yongzhou and hung it in the study. Situ Yan pointed to the map of Yongzhou and said, "Just like Master Liu said just now, the terrain of Yongzhou belongs to a bowl-shaped basin. In July, the Huaihe River swelled and it rained continuously, so the heavy rain flooded Yongzhou and several counties below Yongzhou that were lower than Yongzhou."

After speaking, Situ Yan paused, and asked He Qingwen: "Master He, since you all know this truth, how did you and the Yongzhou officials over the years handle this matter?"

He Qingwen said: "When the Huaihe River flooded, we built dams to prevent the Huaihe River from spreading to Yongzhou City, so as to minimize losses."

"Then how effective is this?" Situ Yan asked.

"The effect is obviously not very good. Although a lot of prevention and control measures have been taken over the years, if it is a year with less rain, the dams built can still hold it back. If it is a year with a lot of rain, the dams will basically be washed away. It was ruined and harmed innocent people."

After speaking, He Qingwen sighed, and said: "It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build the dam every year. If the flood problem can be solved, Yongzhou City will definitely not be what it is now."

After hearing He Qingwen's words, Situ Yan smiled slightly, and continued: "I have read the local county annals of Yongzhou, Yongzhou and the counties and counties along the Huaihe River, and the prevention of floods every year is mainly based on blockage. Natural disasters No one can stop it, so if the Huaihe River is full, if the main thing is to block it, how can it be blocked?"

After Situ Yan finished speaking, He Qingwen asked: "But the imperial court's methods of water control have been the same over the years. Does Mr. Lan have other methods?"

Situ Yan said it as a matter of course. "Since we can't stop the flood, let's unblock it."

"Unblock? How to unblock?" Not only He Qingwen, but several other people also looked at Situ Yan with some puzzlement.
