Chapter 155:

The officials in Quzhou couldn't think of it anyway. It took only a few days for King An to come to Quzhou, and so many were found.
Quzhou has a lot of water. Every year, large sums of money are spent on repairing dams. There are dams to stop them. Quzhou hasn't happened for many years. Who knows that there was a lot of water this year, but the dams in Quzhou didn't stop it. A lot of losses, and many civilian casualties.
If nothing happened, everyone would be happy, and no one would mention it, but the past years have been fine, but something went wrong this year.
Since the floods in Quzhou erupted, there were knives hanging in everyone's hearts, shaking, as if they would fall at any time. They were relieved when Wang An came to Quzhou. I have always heard that this prince has done nothing and done a lot of wrong errands, and he is still a confused prince.
But how could such a confused prince discover the dam only a few days after he came to Quzhou?
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't understand it anyway.
What did Wang An just say? Someone secretly put the ledger at the door of his house.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, everyone has different thoughts. After looking at their colleagues, they have different thoughts in their hearts.
How did they know that King An, standing in front of them, was not only a foolish prince, but also a prophet. This incident of flooding in Quzhou has been experienced in the previous life. This ledger was not sent to King An, but stolen by King An's men.
But where do they know?
Many complicated thoughts flashed in everyone's minds, but when they fell in front of King An, everyone was trembling, bowing their heads, only when they knew nothing, even the official who had been pushed back back. , Said nothing.
Chu Fei's gaze swept over the crowd, and he slowly put down the gavel in his hand, and said in a soft and gentle tone: "I don't have to ask for clarity now. The accounts of the Quzhou Dam are not correct. There must be some adults present. Not sure, right?"
Everyone nodded quickly.
Chu Fei asked again: "Who is responsible for the repair of the Quzhou Dam?"
Everyone glanced at each other, and one person was pushed out, sweating again and again: "Yes... the lower official is in charge..."
Chu Fei responded and asked, "Who is in charge of purchasing the building materials?"
Everyone glanced at each other again, and the other stood up, cold sweat climbed onto the back: "Yes, it's an official..."
"There is a problem with this account, do you know?"
"The officer doesn't know." The two shook their heads together.
"You don't know? Why don't you know? How many materials are used to build a dam every year, this account can be recorded, and how much materials are used, you can see when you go to the dam, you said you don't know, do you repair the dam? One thing, did not pass through your hands?" Chu Fei's tone was still light and fluttering: "Then I have to ask, how can I punish this negligence of duty?"
Everyone could not speak.
They knew in their hearts that the amount of effort from the purchase to the completion of the dam would only involve two people. If they were to be investigated, no one would be able to escape. Now that Wang An has checked the account book, he will soon check it. To them, as long as Wang An has the heart to pursue them, soon...no, maybe now, their official career will be over.
There was despair in everyone's hearts.
At this moment, Chu Fei suddenly heard: "This king didn't mean to embarrass you. It's just that the emperor sent this king to Quzhou to investigate the cause of the flood in Quzhou. If you don't give this king an explanation, This king is not easy to explain to the emperor."
Everyone was taken aback, then their eyes lit up, and they looked up at Chu Fei.
Chu Fei closed the ledger and stood up. He asked Wang Quan to put the ledger away and gave them a meaningful look, "Presumably all the adults understand what this king means."
meaning? What do you mean?
Everyone was stunned, but Wang An had already walked out without leaving a word, only leaving them here, Zhang Er was puzzled. Everyone glanced at each other, and all saw doubts in the eyes of others.
...
at night.
Chu Fei held the brush and pondered on the white paper for a long time, leaving dots of ink on the paper, but couldn't figure out how to write the first word.
Chu Fei scratched his head and said, "Wang Quan, you are here to give my king an idea, what on earth should this king write so that A Nuan can forgive this king?"
Wang Quan looked forward, looked at the door panel, watched his nose and nose, and was not moved at all. "How can the slave know what the princess is thinking? The prince did something wrong and apologized to the princess. Maybe the princess would forgive the prince."
"What you said is good." Chu Fei snorted, "A Nuan is getting angry. If the king said something wrong, it would add fuel to the fire. If she didn't calm down, she was also angry with the king and turned her head back. The palace won't let me near, what can I do?"
Wang Quan said without squinting his eyes: "The prince doesn't know, and even the servant doesn't know."
Chu Fei was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
He just picked up the paper and wanted to throw it at Wang Quan. When he heard the house being knocked on by someone, he heard a voice outside: "Is Wang An here?"
Chu Fei paused, put the paper ball down, raised his chin and signaled Wang Quan to go over and open the door.
Wang Quan opened the door, and a familiar Quzhou official came in, holding a box in his arms, saw Chu Fei, bowed first, raised his head, and smiled flatteringly at him: "Master. "
Chu Fei suddenly got a toothache. He took a sip from his tea cup and asked, "It's so late, Master Zhao is still coming to see this king, why?" He paused, put down the tea cup, and asked: "Could it be because of the flooding in Quzhou? Is there anything Master Zhao wants to tell this king?"
"Yes, let the prince guess." Master Zhao put down the box in his hand and pushed it in front of him: "All that the prince wants to know is here."
"Oh?" Chu Fei raised an eyebrow.
Wang Quan came over and opened the box for him. The jewel in it was illuminated by the candlelight on the table, almost dazzling Chu Fei's eyes. He squinted his eyes and looked at it intently. There was a neat row of gold in the box, a lot of weight, and a thick stack of silver bills was pressed under the gold. Just by looking at the thickness, he knew that it was a large amount. .
Chu Fei closed the box calmly and pushed the box back.
Master Zhao suddenly panicked: "Master, this..."
"Master Zhao what does this mean?" Chu Fei said angrily, "Master Zhao said that he had any clues to tell the king, but he took a box of these things. Is it possible that he wanted to bribe the king because he was afraid that things would be revealed? "
Master Zhao quickly knelt down: "I don't dare to subordinate officials, but, just..."
"Just what?"
Lord Zhao suffered a bitter face, and couldn't explain it for a while. Isn’t that the meaning of the ‘meaning’ that King An said today?
"Get out!"
Master Zhao picked up the box and rolled away hurriedly.
When the people ran away, Chu Fei unfolded a piece of white paper again, dipped the pen nib in the ink, and started thinking about the white paper again.
"I think the prince has rested his mind today." Wang Quan gave him a new cup of tea: "The prince said that in the court today, I am afraid that I will have trouble tonight, and there is a Master Zhao, and those who come later must be sure. Not a lot."
Chu Fei snorted and said, "All these idiots."
At this juncture, still thinking of dragging him into the water, thinking that some gold and silver can bribe him? He hasn't seen anything good, can he still be fooled by these things? Or is it the news from the capital that he is still a greedy person?
Chu Fei touched his chin, paused with the tip of the pen, and left another dot of ink on the paper.
"You said, this king talked about this in the letter, will A Nuan feel that this king is upright and has outstanding character, so he doesn't care about the previous things?"
Wang Quan Liangliang said: "In the eyes of the princess, the prince may have become a rebellious and unbelieving person. Even if the prince has said this, the princess may still feel that the prince is taking care of him and dare not bear it. What's wrong."
Chu Fei choked, and suddenly wilted again.
He sighed deeply, threw away the ink-spotted paper again, unfolded the white paper and started writing.
He thought about it all night, thought of midnight, and finally came up with the first sentence. Chu Fei rubbed the ink eagerly, dipped the tip of the pen, and just wrote the first word, when suddenly his ear moved, he stopped the pen and looked up at the roof.
There are people on the roof.
Chu Fei lowered his head and saw that a new ink dot appeared on the paper. He took a deep breath and spit it out again, then threw the pen away and stood up.
"Lord?"
"Blow the lamp, this king will stop." Chu Fei told: "Hide the ledger, put it in the drawer and lock it, don't lose it."
Wang Quan replied, and got hot water from the house, waited for him to lie down, and then blew the lamp and walked out.
The room was quiet and very dim, and I don't know how long it had passed before the people in night clothes on the roof walked in quietly. He glanced nervously in the direction of the bedroom, made sure that the person lying on the bed was asleep, and then squeezed towards the table.
I pulled out every drawer, and finally found the locked drawer. The person wearing night clothes lit his eyes and was about to look for the key when he let go. Suddenly the doors and windows opened wide, and several people jumped in from outside, holding lanterns. The torch slammed, it was the sound of a weapon being sheathed, and the night clothes turned around in a hurry, actually being surrounded.
Chu Fei lifted the quilt and got out of bed, with a little disbelief on his face: "You are so courageous, you actually sent someone to assassinate this king?
Ye Xingyi's eyes widened and looked at him incredulously, as if he could not believe that he was still awake.
Chu Fei said silently, "I know you are stupid, but I never thought you were so stupid. I am the prince of the dynasty, and you dare to assassinate me. If I die, the emperor will have to investigate the flood in Quzhou even more. What can I do?"
The dark guard lifted the black cloth on the face of the night walker and was a faceless person.
"Let's say, who sent you here?" Chu Fei reported the names of several Quzhou officials. "Or is it everyone's idea?"
