Chapter 106 put a long line to catch big fish
With Eleven's leading response, the disaster victims immediately followed suit.

Chu Qinglan was greatly moved when she heard this, and looked at the crowd silently, feeling the joy and touch brought by doing good deeds for the first time.

Mo Beiyu seemed to have read her mind, and suddenly held her hand calmly.

Her fingers interlocked with his. Under the wide sleeves, through the skin, she could still clearly feel the warmth from his palm.

Feeling warm in his heart, he couldn't help but smile for a while and bent his eyebrows.

But it's too early to be happy now, because the troublemakers haven't revealed who the instigators are yet.

Eleven gestured with a long sword in his hand and threatened the troublemakers in order to force them to tell the truth.

But as soon as she came over, before she had time to say the threat, Chu Qingchu suddenly thought of a certain coup, and secretly stopped Eleven.

"Don't move!"

Eleven was stunned: "Eldest princess, who is this?"

Chu Qinglan did not answer, but directly ordered her followers to release those troublemakers.

Seeing this, Eleven was puzzled and anxious, and hurriedly organized: "Princess, you can't just let them go like this, they dare to come here to make trouble today, there must be someone behind them to support them—"

"eleven!"

Just in the middle of Chapter Eleven, Mo Beiyu suddenly cut it off.

Eleven has not figured out the situation until now, seeing Mo Beiyu approaching, he tried his best to say responsibly: "My lord, please persuade the eldest princess, the eldest princess will let these people go."

Eleven didn't know why Chu Qinglan didn't punish these troublemakers, but directly let them go, in order to prevent long-term fishing for big fish.

After all, this is the porridge scene, with so many people around watching, it is really inconvenient to interrogate on the spot.

If you really want to ask something, once it gets out, the court will definitely have a negative impact.

Besides, since the person behind it dared to hire someone to make trouble, his identity must not be simple.

If asked directly, these troublemakers may not directly confess.

Eleven didn't know Chu Qinglan's real plan, but Mo Beiyu could see it clearly.

So when he heard Eleven's words at this time, he didn't even think about it, and directly ordered Eleven not to talk too much, and just follow her orders.

When Shi Shi saw this, he was very puzzled, but he couldn't say any more, so he had to respectfully say yes, and then untied the troublemaker.

After all the troublemakers had left, Eleven was puzzled and said, "My lord, we managed to arrest all of these guys, why did you let them go so easily? Isn't this going back to the mountain? "

Mo Beiyu smiled disapprovingly and patted Eleven on the shoulder, asking, "Eleven, how many years have you been with me?"

He asked this question endlessly, Eleven was stunned for a while, not understanding why he suddenly asked this, but he still replied respectfully: "It's been seven years since I've done my best."

"You've been with me for seven years, why haven't you changed your mind?"

Eleven was more confused: "My lord, why did you say that the little one's thoughts don't grow up? Could it be that the little one said something wrong—wait a minute!"

Eleven's mind trembled, and he thought of something in a trance. He hurriedly looked at the direction where the troublemakers left just now, and asked impatiently: "My lord, you and the eldest princess asked the little one to release those troublemakers. Could it be just doing kung fu on the surface, but in fact, it is to put a long line to catch big fish?"

Although the tone of the latter sentence "putting a long line to catch big fish" is a bit low, it is drawn long, revealing the surprise in his heart.

Mo Beiyu just laughed, but didn't answer verbally.

On the contrary, Chu Qinglan heard it, and couldn't help laughing and said, "It's still my son-in-law who understands me."

This is equivalent to answering eleven in disguise.

Eleven was shocked and admired for a while, and hurriedly boasted: "The eldest princess and the adults are still amazing, and the younger ones are ashamed of themselves!"

Mo Beiyu: "Okay, hurry up and find a way to follow up secretly, and see where the troublemaker ended up going. Remember, this matter must not be a surprise."

"Little one takes orders!" After the eleventh answer, he hurriedly led people, followed Xun'er quietly along the direction where the troublemakers left just now.

After a cup of tea, Eleven quickly returned after inquiring about the news.

At this time, Chu Qinglan just came back from the outside after dealing with the porridge, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard Eleven saying: "The little one followed closely all the way, that guy was still walking around on the street at first After several laps, he sneaked into an alley behind him. Guess what, he actually entered the back door of the Chen Mansion!
Not only that, but the young one also saw a special servant at the back door of the Chen Mansion waiting for that guy, so that as soon as he saw that guy coming, he immediately opened the door and let him in. "

Chu Qinglan stepped in after hearing the words, and asked aloud, "Which Chen residence are you talking about?"

Fucheng has a vast land and a large number of people. There are countless noble mansions in Beppu, among which there are several in Chen's Mansion.

Eleven replied: "It's the mansion of Chen Xiong, the magistrate."

Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu raised their heads at the same time.

Chu Qinglan was surprised and said, "Prefect Chen Xiong, could it be that he is the person behind this incident?"

Long before that, she had guessed that the disturbance was most likely related to the officials on the disaster relief list. When she heard the news with her own ears, she still couldn't help being shocked.

Since the troublemaker was able to enter and leave the Chen residence at will, it is enough to show that this matter must be related to the prefect Chen Xiong.

It's just that she couldn't understand one thing, and that was why Chen Xiong hired people to make trouble.

Could it be to slander the reputation of the two of them, or even to put the suspicion that the 10 taels of silver disappeared out of thin air on the two of them?

Thinking of this possibility, Chu Qinglan couldn't sit still, and immediately discussed with Mo Beiyu to investigate the whereabouts of the 10 taels of silver.

It's a pity that the money has gone through countless hands, and the accounts have been tampered with. In addition, the hero of the prefect of the prefecture is also a cunning person. Knowing that the two of them became suspicious, they destroyed all the evidence early on.

So that for the next few days, the two searched for a long time, but they couldn't find out who swallowed it and where it was used.

Without enough money, the disaster relief trip became more and more difficult.

Asking the imperial court for support, the treasury is empty, but there is no extra money to use for disaster relief.

And without money, let alone the implementation of drainage projects, even the disaster victims in the city cannot be properly resettled.

Chu Qinglan was worried about this for several days. She couldn't eat well or sleep well. Opening and closing her eyes was all about disaster relief.

Mo Beiyu was afraid that she would be bored in the house thinking about things all the time, and that it would hurt her body and mind after a long time. I just heard that the magistrate Chen Xiongzhi's wife held a birthday banquet today, and invited all the noble family members to Chen's residence to celebrate.

He persuaded: "Today's Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet, if you keep thinking about things in the garden, it will only hurt your body and mind. You may as well take this opportunity to go to Chen's mansion to relax. As for the disaster relief, I will handle it alone."

Disaster relief is no small matter. As a princess of a country, it is impossible for her to sit idly by, but staying in the house all the time really can't solve any problems. It is better to go out for a walk. Maybe there is no way out in the mountains and rivers. Another village is also unknown.

Thinking of this, Chu Qinglan didn't refuse, and nodded in response, "That's fine", then went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes.

After one party finished tidying up, he took a maidservant to the Chen residence.

When she arrived, the other female relatives had already arrived in the mansion, and they were drinking tea and chatting in the back garden.

"See Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

Everyone bowed their waists and saluted one after another.

Chu Qinglan never liked to put on airs, so she answered "You don't need to be polite", and took the seat.

Among this group of female relatives, she was the only one with the highest status, so when she came, everyone stopped chatting in small groups, but sat down and chatted with her as the leader.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Chen suddenly expressed regret and said: "Originally, all kinds of flowers in the mansion have always grown very well, especially the lotus, but unfortunately they were washed away by the heavy rain before, resulting in the pond There is only a pair of weeds left here, and there is no place to enjoy it, so please forgive me for the inadequacy."

When everyone heard the words, they quickly smiled and answered no problem.

But when Chu Qinglan heard this, she suddenly remembered that when she came in, she did see that the pond not far away was very barren, but it was only because she was only in a hurry at that time, so she didn't take this matter to heart.
