Hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't see any expression on her face, and she still walked towards the dormitory leisurely and smiled: "What's the matter with Xucheng Water Conservancy?"
"Xucheng is located on the left side of the river and has been troubled by floods all the year round. Two years ago, the state built water conservancy projects and allocated 100,000 silver to build a in Xucheng. But at that time, Xucheng was in a drought. The county magistrate of Xucheng and the officials of Jingzhou embezzled the silver. It has not been repaired. But this year the weather has been smooth. In June, the Xucheng flood was approaching. So the county magistrate only started building water conservancy at the beginning of the year. But now the county magistrate is afraid of accidents in the three-month dyke, so he has spent a lot of money to attract foreign investment. I was willing to provide forty thousand taels of silver to outsource the construction of the dam. After the parties bid, a person named Wanrong contracted the matter."
This was a sensational case in Xie Zichen's last life, because in June of this year, Xuzhou suffered floods that were rare in a century. The whole city of Xuzhou was flooded, and dozens of people died in the city. In Jingzhou, there were direct descendants of the prince, and the emperor was furious and eliminated many people from the prince’s family. He was impeached by Zhang Yushi, which became the beginning of the prince’s rejection.
Therefore, Xie Zichen had long been staring at Xuzhou, but unexpectedly discovered that Wei Shao actually participated in this matter. What’s more interesting is that Xucheng’s investment promotion had already been decided at the beginning of the year. Just a few days ago, this Wanrong unexpectedly ran to Shengjing and secretly contacted Wei Shao. Shao Jia is for shareholders.
Wan Rong must have been instructed by someone who had traveled so far to find people. But if Wan Rong had a relationship with the people in Beijing, then the Xucheng incident would be quite intriguing.
Was the that was built so hurriedly that it could not withstand floods, or was it because it was for the sake of humans and did not intend to repair it at all?
Xie Zichen briefly introduced the situation in Xucheng, and raised some risks: "Not to mention that the risk of the built in a hurry in three months is inherently very high, let alone Xucheng, there are a group of princes' lineage. I am from Xu In the information of Wanrong handed over by the county magistrate, he saw that there was Changxin Houye among his shareholders, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so I wanted to mention something."
Speaking of this, it is already clear that the prince's direct line is there. If the third prince wants to move, then the flood is not possible, but inevitable. Even if there is no rain in the sky, the three princes will inevitably encourage people to investigate the problem of dam construction. Once there is a problem with the construction of the dam, from the construction team to the officials above and below, there is bound to be no escape. Among them, the construction team is naturally the first to bear the brunt. As one of the important shareholders in the construction team, Wei Shao would not like the emperor, and it is hard to guarantee.
Wei Lan worked so hard to make Changxinhou's mansion better. Once this happened, not only would Wei Shao not be able to keep Wei Shao, her status in the emperor's heart was also at stake.
Wei Lan is transparent. When Xie Zichen said this, she didn't understand what Xie Zichen meant, so she said in courtesy: "Just now, the three Highnesses also talked about this."
This affirmed Xie Zichen's guess in a disguised form, and was regarded as Xie Zichen's reminder of her in return.
Xie Zichen nodded and said slowly: "However, this matter is not in a hurry, you can go out after you rest in the palace after three days."
"Yeah." Wei Lan nodded, worried in her heart, playing with her fan, looking strayly around. After thinking for a moment, Xie Zichen said,
Actually, you don’t have to think too much. Now that we know that Wan Rong is the third prince’s person, we will naturally ask the county magistrate to build the dam by another person. It doesn't matter anymore."
However, as soon as the words were spoken, Wei Lan and Xie Zichen stopped. The two looked at each other and immediately understood what each other meant.
Su Cheng dared to tell Wei Lan the news, which meant that he was not afraid of Wei Lan's spread.
If this matter can be solved by changing a Wanrong, then Su Cheng will not tell Wei Lan at this time.
He now tells Wei Lan that it only represents one thing.
That is, he won't wait until June, he will do it immediately.
