Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 492 Detention and Interrogation

The news of Princess Wen Xian's arrival in Linjiang City spread quickly. It has been more than half a month since Linjiang broke the embankment and the floods have occurred. The victims have been waiting for the means of relief from the imperial court, but this time, the relief materials It's been a long time, not even the disaster relief officials have come.

Originally, they were about to despair, but Mu Yunyao's arrival made them suddenly see hope.

With the help of Xingshun Shipping Company, the food and medicinal materials prepared by Buxianlou and Niyunfang were quickly transported along the waterway. At the same time, Guanshi Qin, Wei Yi, and Yunchun also came to Linjiang City together.

When Steward Qin saw Mu Yunyao, his eyes were full of excitement. After carefully looking at Mu Yunyao, he came forward to salute respectfully: "I have seen Princess Wenxian."

Mu Yunyao showed a smile: "Steward Qin, hurry up and excuse me, you have worked hard these few days."

"It's nothing to worry about. Fortunately, Buxian Building has stored some food, and with the support of Niyunfang, it didn't delay the business. Miss, come and see, are these food and medicinal materials enough?"

Mu Yunyao took the booklet and looked it over carefully, and then called Liu Liang who had rushed back: "Linjiang City was the most severely affected, and many people among the people have already fallen ill. I will keep an eye on them as soon as possible after I have the medicinal materials. Suppress your illness, so you can't leave Linjiang City for the time being. You, Wei Yi and Yun Chun will split into two groups. You will go to Huai'an City and hand over the medicinal materials and food to the officials of Huai'an City, while Wei Yi and Yun Chun will go to Yi Water City, at least let the people see a little hope."

The officials of Huai'an city had cleaned up a lot because of the Caiyue Pavilion, and the disaster was not serious, so the situation was not bad. Sending food and medicinal materials could solve the urgent need. What she couldn't let go of was Yishui City. Yishui City originally had the Yi River flowing through it, and the Linjiang River broke its embankment and flooded into the Yi River, causing the water level of the Yi River to rise seriously. A secondary flood occurred directly, breaking the road into Yishui City. Now there is the least news about Yishui City.

"Yes." The three quickly agreed.

Steward Qin looked at the messy city around him, and couldn't help sighing: "The Dali Dynasty has been peaceful and prosperous all these years, and the sudden occurrence of such a serious flood is really glaring."

Mu Yunyao and Qin Guanshi returned to the temporarily cleared county office: "Qin Guanshi, do you have any news about His Royal Highness King Yue?"

Steward Qin shook his head with a heavy expression: "His Royal Highness King Yue did contact me after he came to Jiangnan. The accounts in each mansion are accurate and the amount of tax money is sufficient. There is no problem at all. He felt that something was wrong, so he found out about the salt merchant. He told me to investigate the news, and then I received a letter from Miss, and he took the letter directly to Linjiang City, where he suddenly disappeared."

Mu Yunyao clenched the ingot-patterned pouch in her hand, and her slightly restrained eyes were full of sadness: "The letter I sent...His Royal Highness, which salt merchants did you ask you to investigate?"

"Zhou Huai in Linjiang City, Jiang Jin in Yangzhou City..." Manager Qin understood the information of these people very clearly, and spoke very carefully.

Mu Yunyao listened carefully, and suddenly frowned: "These people have contacts with Yang Lian...then how are they doing now?"

Steward Qin was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "Because of Linjiang breaking the dike, I didn't pay attention to them anymore..."

"Officer Qin, you still need to personally supervise this matter. Now send more people to find traces of the people you investigated and see if they are still alive..."

"Miss, do these people have problems?"

"I'm not sure either. After Yang Lian's accident, the King of Jin tried his best to erase the evidence of Jiangnan's salt tax deficit. This time Linjiang City's embankment burst may be his handwriting. The ship transporting salt tax and silver was on Linjiang. Sunk, no matter how big the deficit is, there is no trace to be found, as long as those salt merchants who know about it are silenced, he can be safe and sound."

Manager Qin couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly stood up: "Then I'll investigate right away."

"Separate people, first investigate Linjiang City Zhou Huai!"

After finishing the order, Mu Yunyao sat in the government office and waited for the news, and soon the head of the Linjiang county government office rushed over: "Reporting to the princess, the whole family of Zhou Huai, whom you want to investigate, died in the flood. .”

Mu Yunyao's eyes flashed: "I see, there is Master Lao who came to visit, does the master know Zhou Huai?"

"Zhou Huai, the richest businessman in Linjiang City, had a close relationship with the county magistrate during his lifetime. The most famous garden in Linjiang City, Linjiang Garden, was built by the Zhou family. It’s all good, many people with status like to go to Linjiangyuan to play and have fun on weekdays, but no matter how rich they are, it’s useless, with so many servants protecting them, it’s not like the whole family died in the flood.”

"The whole family... Has none of the Zhou family escaped?"

The master was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression changed: "I also find it extremely unusual for the princess to say this. More than a hundred people, big and small, all died in the Zhou family. This is unusual no matter how you look at it." .”

"You said before that the Zhou family had a good relationship with the county magistrate, so did the two meet before Linjiang broke the embankment?"

"The official is not clear now. The county magistrate likes to go to Linjiangyuan very much. It is the territory of the Zhou family. Even if the two of them want to meet, they will not be easily noticed."

Mu Yunyao nodded: "I see. I don't know where Linjiangyuan is. Please show me the way. I want to go and have a look."

"At this time, Linjiangyuan has resettled the victims, and the princess may be bumped if he goes there."

"The disaster victims have been resettled?"

"Yes, Mr. Tongzhi arranged it. It is said that such a good place is empty, and it is empty. It is better to provide it to the people."

"Did the victims be resettled after the river broke its embankment, or did they arrange it after I came?"

The chief secretary paused: "It was arranged after the princess came."

"I see. It's a good time for disaster victims to gather. I can help them check whether they are healthy. Let's lead the way."

The place where Linjiangyuan was located was not affected much. At this time, spring is coming, and the garden is full of vitality. A small garden gate seems to divide the space. Inside the gate, flowers are in full bloom and the scenery is beautiful, while outside the gate there are broken walls and silt deposits...

When Mu Yunyao walked in, there were not many disaster victims in the garden, and they were concentrated in one place, which did not have much impact on other places.

Tongzhi Linjiang knew that Mu Yunyao had brought someone to Linjiang Garden, so he hurried over: "I've seen the princess."

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes: "Does Master Tongzhi live in Linjiang Garden here?"

"No, no, it's just that the disaster victims are resettled here. The official is really worried, so he came here to help take care of it."

Mu Yunyao looked at Tongzhi Linjiang who was showing a nervous expression, and suddenly sneered: "Come here, detain him for interrogation, let him spit out everything he knows!"
