All the officials in Quzhou could not have imagined that Wang An had only been in Quzhou for a few days and found out so many.

Quzhou has a lot of water. Every year, a large amount of money is spent on repairing the dam. There is a dam blocking it, but nothing happened in Quzhou for many years. Who knows that when there was a flood this year, the dam in Quzhou did not stop, causing a lot of losses and many people's casualties.

If nothing happened, everyone would be happy. No one would mention it. But in the past years, everything was fine, but this year something went wrong.

Since the outbreak of the flood in Quzhou, a knife was hanging in the hearts of the people, and it seemed that it would fall at any time. When Wang an came to Quzhou, they were relieved. I've heard that the Lord has done nothing and has done many wrong jobs. I think he is still a confused prince.

But how could such a muddleheaded king find out about the dam after only a few days in Quzhou?

People looked at each other, but they could not understand.

What did an Wang just say? Someone secretly put the account book at the door of his house.

No matter whether this is true or not, people have different ideas. When they look at their colleagues, they all have different ideas.

How did they know that the king an standing in front of them was not only a confused prince, but also a prophet. He had experienced the flood in Quzhou in his last life. This account book is not sent to an Wang, but stolen by his men.

But where do they know?

Many complicated thoughts flashed through people's minds, but when they fell in front of king an, they were all trembling and bowed their heads, thinking that they knew nothing. Even the official who had been pushed out before also retreated without saying a word.

Chu Fei's eyes swept over the crowd. He slowly lowered the startled tree in his hand and said softly, "I don't have to ask now whether the accounts of the Quzhou dam are correct. Some adults are not sure about it, right?"

The crowd nodded quickly.

Chu Fei then asked, "who is responsible for the repair of the Quzhou dam?"

They looked at each other, and one of them was pushed out in a cold sweat: "yes The lower officials are responsible for... "

Chu Fei answered and asked, "who is responsible for the purchase of building materials?"

People looked at each other again, another person stood out, cold sweat climbed up the back: "yes, is the lower official..."

"There's something wrong with this account, do you know?"

"I don't know." They shook their heads together.

"You don't know? How can you not know? How many materials are needed to build a dam every year is recorded in the account. How many materials are used can be seen by going to the dam. Do you say you don't know? Has the matter of repairing the dam not passed through your hands? " Chu Fei's tone is still light and floating: "then I'll ask, how should I punish this dereliction of duty?"

The people below were speechless.

They knew in their hearts that how much effort they had made in the construction of the dam from mining and buying could not only involve two people. If they were to be investigated, no one could escape from the scene. Since Wang An had already found the account book, they would soon be found out. As long as Wang An is willing to investigate, soon No, maybe now, their official career is over.

There was a burst of despair in the hearts of the people.

At this time, he suddenly heard Chu Fei say, "I don't mean to embarrass you. But the emperor sent the king to Quzhou to investigate the cause of the flood in Quzhou. If you don't give me an account, I can't explain it to the emperor. "

They were stunned, and then their eyes brightened and looked up at chufei.

But Chu Fei closed the account book and stood up. He asked Wang Quan to put the account book away and looked at the people with a meaningful look: "I think all the adults understand the meaning of this king."

What do you mean? what do you mean?

Wang's words have left their minds, but they have not left their minds. People looked at each other, and they saw doubts in the eyes of others.

……

At night.

Chu Fei took the brush and pondered over the white paper for a long time, leaving one ink spot after another on the paper, but he could not figure out how to write the first word.

Chu Fei scratched his ears and scratched his cheek. "Wang Quan, you come to give me advice. How should I write it so that a'nuan can forgive me?"

Wang Quan looks at the front, the door, the nose, the heart and the nose. "How can the servant know the princess's mind? If the Prince did something wrong, he would apologize to the princess. Maybe the princess would forgive him. "

"You're right." Chu Fei snorted: "ah Nuan is angry. If I say something wrong, it will add fuel to the fire. If she doesn't calm down, she still gets angry with me. What can I do then?"

Wang Quanmu didn't squint and said, "the Lord doesn't know, and the slave doesn't know."

Chu Fei was so angry that he wanted to hit people.

As soon as he had gathered up the paper, he wanted to throw it at Wang Quan. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the room and heard a voice outside: "is Wang an there?"Chu Fei's action is a meal, put down the paper ball, raise chin to signal Wang Quan to go to open the door.

Wang Quan opened the door, and a familiar official of Quzhou came in, holding a box in his arms, and seeing Chu Fei, he gave a salute first, raised his head, and then gave him a flattering smile: "Lord."

When Chu Fei had a toothache, he took a sip of his tea cup and asked, "what's the matter with Mr. Zhao coming to look for Ben Wang so late?" After a pause, he put down his tea cup and asked, "is it because of the flood in Quzhou? What do you want to tell the king about it?"

"That's right. Don't let the Lord guess it." Zhao put down the box in his hand and pushed it in front of him: "what the Lord wants to know is here."

"Oh?" Chu Fei raised his eyebrows.

Wang Quan came over and opened the box for him. The jewels were shining on the table, which almost dazzled chufei's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and gathered his attention to see that there was a neat row of gold in the box, with a lot of weight. Under the gold, there was a thick stack of silver notes. Just by looking at the thickness, it was a large number.

Chufei quietly closed the box and pushed it back.

Lord Zhao was in a panic: "Lord, this..."

"Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?" Chu Fei pretended to be angry and said, "Lord Zhao said that he had any clues to tell the king, but he took a box of these things. Was it because he was afraid that things would come to light and wanted to bribe him?"

Lord Zhao quickly knelt down: "I dare not, just, just..."

"Just what?"

Zhao's face was bitter, and he could not explain for a moment. Isn't that what king an said today?

"Get out of here!"

Mr. Zhao picked up the box and rolled away in a hurry.

When the others ran away, Chu Feicai again spread out a piece of white paper, dipped the tip of his pen in ink, and pondered over the white paper.

"I think the king stopped thinking today." Wang Quan changed a cup of new tea for him: "the LORD said that in the court today, I'm afraid I can't live well tonight. There's an adult Zhao coming, and there must be a lot of people coming later."

Chufei sneered and said, "it's all idiots."

At this juncture, you still want to drag him into the water. Do you think that some gold and silver can bribe him? He has never seen anything good. Will he be fooled by these things? Or the news from the capital, he is still a greedy man?

Chufei touched his chin, the tip of his pen, and left an ink spot on the paper.

"Do you think that the king said this in his letter? Does ah Nuan feel that I am just and upright, and that his conduct is outstanding, so he will not care about the previous events?"

Wang Quan said coolly: "in the eyes of the princess, the prince may have become a person who betrays his promise without faith. Even if the prince has said this, the princess may still think that the prince cares about him and dare not bear the fault."

Chufei choked, and then he withered again.

With a deep sigh, he opened the paper again.

He thought all night, thought of midnight, and finally came up with the first sentence. Chu Fei rubbed the ink with interest, dipped the tip of his pen, and just after writing the first word, his ear suddenly moved. He stopped writing and looked up at the roof.

There are people on the roof.

Chu Fei lowered his head and looked at a new ink spot on the paper. He took a deep breath and spat it out. Then he threw the pen away and stood up.

"Lord?"

"Blow out the lamp, and I will rest." Chu Fei admonished: "hide the account book, put it in the drawer and lock it, don't lose it."

Wang Quan answered. He went out to fetch hot water and waited on him to lie down. Then he blew the lamp and went out.

It was quiet and dark in the room, and I didn't know how long it had passed. People wearing night clothes on the roof sneaked in. He glanced nervously in the direction of the bedroom to make sure that the person lying on the bed was asleep, and then he crept towards the table with his hands and feet.

After pulling out every drawer, he finally found the locked drawer. As soon as the night clothes wearer's eyes lit up, he wanted to find the key. Suddenly, the doors and windows were opened, and several people jumped in, holding lanterns and torches. It was the sound of weapons coming out of the sheath. The night clothes turned around in a hurry, and they were surrounded.

Chu Fei opened the quilt and got out of bed. He could not believe it: "you are so bold that you really sent someone to assassinate this king?

Night clothes stare big eyes, can't believe to look at him, seems to be can't believe that he is still awake.

Chu Fei said in silence: "I know you are stupid, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. I'm the king of the dynasty. You dare to assassinate me. If I die, the emperor will investigate the flood in Quzhou. What else can you do?"

The dark guard opens the black cloth on the face of the night clothes. He is a stranger.

"Come on, who sent you?" Chu Fei gave the names of several Quzhou officials. "Or the idea of all of us?"
