Chapter 78: The Brutality of the Regent King Seduces the Fair-skinned Young Eunuch 24
As for Huo Chen, when Huo Twelve came back to report, he brought the little emperor to the county government office. He was meeting Wang Lianghui, the head of the Wang family branch mentioned by Huo Twelve before, who still had a conscience.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Regent!" Wang Lianghui knelt down as soon as he entered the room. He had heard about what Huo Chen had done after entering the city. On the one hand, he was afraid, but on the other hand, he also respected him.
"Get up and talk!" Huo Chen said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Lianghui stood up and asked tentatively, "I wonder why His Majesty the Regent summoned me?"
"You were born and raised in Pingnan County. I understand that your family cares about the suffering of the people. Starting tomorrow, you will cooperate in implementing all disaster relief matters in Pingnan County. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded handsomely afterwards!" Huo Chen never dragged his feet in doing things. Since the Wang family could be used, he would feel free to use them. With the assistance of such local people, disaster relief matters should be able to proceed more smoothly.
Wang Lianghui was very excited after hearing what Huo Chen said. Over the years, because he disagreed with some of the Wang family's ways of doing things, their family had been marginalized, and their children's schooling and imperial examinations were suppressed. So far, no one in the family has entered the court as an official. Now that the opportunity has come, how can he not be excited!
"Thank you, Your Highness the Regent, for your appreciation. The Wang family will spare no effort to live up to your Highness the Regent's trust." Wang Lianghui excitedly knelt on the ground again and expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Stand up and sit down to talk. Let's talk about the disaster in Pingnan County first. What should we do most urgently?" Huo Chen wanted to test him. After all, doing things requires more than just having a conscience.
"Your Highness, the most urgent task is to solve the water problem. Pingnan County has been experiencing high temperatures and drought for more than two months. Now even drinkable water has become a problem. If the water problem is not solved, people will still die even if a steady supply of food is delivered!" After Wang Lianghui finished speaking, he waited quietly for Huo Chen to speak.
"Tell me how to solve the water problem?"
"If it doesn't rain, we can only dig wells to look for underground water sources. After finding the water source, we will gather the people living near the water source and supply them with food in appropriate quantities. The rest is to pray to God for mercy and to have a rain before the autumn crops are planted, giving the people hope of survival!" Wang Lianghui said every word sincerely.
What Wang Lianghui said was the best solution Huo Chen could think of at the moment, so he gave Huo Twelve instructions.
"Huo Twelve, arrange your people to fully cooperate with Patriarch Wang and make sure to find a new water source as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Huo Twelve clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"Master Wang, please go back and make preparations!" Huo Chen ordered Wang Lianghui.
"Yes, Your Highness!" After receiving the order, Wang Lianghui hurried home. He had to quickly gather people for a meeting. The Wang family's chance to change their fate had come!
"How are other things going?" Huo Chen asked Huo Twelve after Wang Lianghui left.
"Your Highness, the three people who died today were the magistrate, chief clerk, and inspector of Pingnan County. The magistrate was from the Cui family, and the chief clerk and inspector were local bullies. All three of their families could be the chickens to be killed. In addition, the county magistrate was from the Wang family. He luckily survived today, but he is also on the list of people to be killed. The family members and clansmen of their four families have all been captured!" Huo Twelve answered in detail.
"These four companies will be publicly tried tomorrow, so you should make preparations!" Huo Chen instructed, tapping the table.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Huo Twelve took the order and left the room.
As soon as Huo Twelve walked out of the room, Huo Chen said in one direction: "Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed out, knelt at Huo Chen's feet, waiting to be questioned.
"Did you find anyone suspicious today?"
Today, the Cui and Wang families were caught off guard, so Huo Chen was not carried away by the current success. The secret guards had been checking for the assassins of the Cui and Wang families.
"Your Highness, when you shot and killed the three county magistrates today, two familiar auras emerged. However, the time was too short and no one could locate them. But it is certain that they are masters picked from thousands of miles away!" the man in black replied.
"Add three more shadow guards to the little emperor and find these two people as soon as possible!"
After receiving the order, the man in black disappeared. Huo Chen sat alone in the dim candlelight room, and suddenly felt particularly lonely. He was used to having Xiao Douya by his side these days, but today, Lin Yi was not around, and Huo Chen was no longer used to it.
The regent, unwilling to suffer injustice, stood up and rushed out of the county government office to the county school.
After arriving at the county school, Huo Chen locked onto Lin Yi's room with his sense of smell. He entered quietly, walked to the bed, took off his shoes and got into bed. Then he held the sleeping Xiao Douya in his arms, smelled the faint fragrance on Lin Yi's body, and finally felt comfortable. Huo Chen closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Lin Yi was really tired today. Even though she felt someone hugging her, when she realized it was Huo Chen, she didn't open her eyes. She just tilted her head, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep.
When Lin Yi woke up the next day, Huo Chen was no longer around.
"Master, Huo Chen is sleeping now and he probably doesn't want to leave you for a moment. We have hope of completing the mission!" Tangyuan was eager to share his joy with his master.
Lin Yike is not as optimistic as Tangyuan. At least until now, Huo Chen only regards her as a toy for entertainment and does not think she is indispensable.
"Where is Huo Chen going?" Lin Yi asked Tangyuan indifferently.
Tangyuan's joy was not responded to, and he was answered unhappily: "They went to deal with the pests. Four officials and their families from Pingnan County were publicly tried in the county government. By the way, three of them were nailed to the city gate yesterday!" Tangyuan's voice was listless when he answered, without any of the joy he had before.
"By the way, Tangyuan, can you detect groundwater?" Lin Yi thought that the water used yesterday was almost turned into yellow mud soup, and she thought that the drinking water in Pingnan County had become a problem, so she quickly asked Tangyuan in her mind.
"Master, Huo Chen has already asked people to find water!" Tangyuan answered casually.
"With the current technology, it will probably take some time to find it! Can you do it?" Lin Yi asked impatiently.
"Master, of course you can. Have you forgotten my original occupation on the planet Tasnoa?" Tangyuan asked proudly.
"Then what are you hesitating about? Tell me quickly. By the way, who is responsible for finding the water source? So I can tell him the news!" Lin Yi's tone became even more impatient.
