A funny girl traveled through time to become a princess and dated a general

Chapter 9 This flood came so strangely! Sixue gives some advice!

After hearing the emperor's message, Lingyan hurried into the palace. Sixue stood there and watched for a while before walking to the back!

A few days later, the spies outside the city hurriedly rode into the city on horseback with a secret letter, rushed straight to the palace, and delivered the secret report to the emperor.

The spy reported to the emperor, "There has been a lot of rain in Ankang County outside the city recently. There is something really strange. I don't know why. The dam that has been built for nearly a hundred years was destroyed in this flood. The people in the county are in panic and suffering. The county magistrate specially sent me to report this."

The emperor asked the spy: "How many days has it been raining? Are there any signs of bad guys doing this to the dam?" The spy replied: "It has been raining for five or six days, and the county magistrate is sending people to investigate this matter!"

The emperor then sent someone to settle the spies, then summoned the general and told him the matter.

The emperor discussed with Lingyan, and they both decided to send some people with a team of soldiers and a lot of food to Ankang County first. The next morning, Lingyan would immediately take some people to Ankang County, and the troops would be divided into two groups!

Afterwards, the emperor asked: "How is Xue'er doing recently? Is she well? If she is in a bad mood, take her out to relax or buy her some snacks to comfort her. If Xue'er is angry, you are not allowed to be angry at her or yell at her. You must comfort her, and don't not comfort her because you can't let go of your pride. Xue'er just needs to be coaxed. As long as you don't do anything serious, Xue'er usually won't get too angry. Do you hear me?"

The general replied: "I obey your command. The princess has been living well these days, but she is in a bad mood and likes to sulk. I have a request to take the princess to Ankang County so that she can relax."

The emperor nodded in response.

The general said, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." Then he went down.

The next day, Sixue and Lingyan set off together. Sixue said, "When we get to Ankang County, you are not allowed to call me Madam and you are not allowed to reveal my identity."

Ling Yan nodded as a reply. After a long journey, they arrived at Ankang County and saw that the people around them were suffering and living in dire straits. At this time, Si Xue felt sympathy.

Sixue immediately sent people with several rows of horse-drawn carriages full of food to distribute to the people for food.

The general, the county magistrate, the wealthy businessmen doing business in the surrounding area, and the experienced craftsmen in dam repair discussed the idea of repairing the dam, and the wealthy businessmen all agreed.

The general then asked the craftsmen, "How should this dam be repaired? What materials should be used?"

A craftsman stood up and said, "This dam is made of clay, mud, gravel and trees. As for how to repair the dam, we need to think about it in the long run!"

At this time, Sixue came in hurriedly and gave a suggestion. She said: "Why not build a dam?"

The craftsman stood up and asked, "What is this weir?"

Si Xue said, "Don't worry, listen to me carefully. This weir is very useful. When the rainy season comes, if the water level in the upper reaches rises, the water level in the lower reaches will drop, greatly reducing the probability of flooding in the lower reaches. When a flood comes, the damage caused by the flood can be reduced by regulating the water flow and drainage. In addition, this weir can store water and use it to irrigate farmland in the dry season! This is a best of both worlds method. What do you think, craftsmen?"

The craftsmen present began to discuss and nodded. Even the county magistrate was impressed by her and said, "This idea is really great!" The leading craftsman said, "Girl, you are really amazing! How did you come up with this idea? I really admire you!" The general also looked at her silently, smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

Si Xue said with a smile: "Why are you laughing? I have my own way. This is a secret and I can't tell you!"

Then Sixue said: "Oh, there is one more thing. The people now have far from enough food, but we must open the granaries to release food to alleviate the current urgent situation and let the people have clothes to wear and food to eat."

The county magistrate said: "Nowadays, the grain in Ankang County is far from enough to supply the people. The granary keeper is very strange. It seems that he has colluded with the thieves and stole most of the grain. He refuses to admit it, and it is really difficult to supply the people. This is indeed my dereliction of duty. I ask the general to punish me," the county magistrate said guiltily.

The general then said: "This is not your fault. I will send someone to report to the emperor and tell him about the situation here and ask him if he can transport some food from the capital. Where is the storekeeper now? I want to see him!"

The county magistrate said: "Thank you very much. This granary keeper is now in the jail of the government office. He has refused to confess despite repeated interrogation. I really have no way to deal with him." The county magistrate said tactfully.

Ling Yan said: "Then take me to meet him now!"

The county magistrate said: "Then please follow me."

Then they came to the prison cell of the government office. The janitor was being interrogated by the yamen runners. The runners asked, "Tell me where the other half of the food went." The janitor said, "I really don't know. It's no use asking me any more times."

The aide sneered as he spoke, and the bailiff was so angry that he couldn't help but whip him twice more!

Then Lingyan and the county magistrate came in. The clerk looked up and said, "I have told you many times, county magistrate, I don't know where the other half of the grain has gone."

Then the county magistrate said, "This is General Lingyan from the capital. He will ask you some questions and you must answer them truthfully."

The abbot glanced at Ling Yan and sneered. Ling Yan was not angry, but sat down and looked at the abbot calmly.

Ling Yan asked: "Do you have a wife and children at home?" The guard's eyes suddenly became surprised, and the corners of his mouth slowly changed from a sneer to anger! He said: "What did you do to my wife and children? Why did you find her? I obviously hid her very well, how did you find her?"

Ling Yan calmly told him, "My wife and I were distributing food that day. We saw a woman crying and saying, 'Her husband was arrested by the government and has not returned yet. She wants an explanation from the government.'"

My wife walked over to the woman and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you? You said your husband was arrested by the government? What's your husband's name? If you tell me, I will definitely help you solve it."

The lady said tactfully: "My husband won't let me tell anyone." My wife said: "If you want me to help you solve it, you have to tell it. If you can't tell it, then I can't solve it." Then the lady said: "My husband is a granary keeper, but one day a traitor sneaked into the house, poisoned me, and threatened my husband with my life to do something dirty. I didn't agree with my husband. He said nothing is more important than my life." The woman cried and said tactfully.

Sixue hugged the woman and said, "Don't cry, or you'll turn into a little cat. Don't cry, I'll help you save people!" Sixue said gently. Lingyan looked at her from the side, with the corners of her mouth rising unconsciously!

The woman said to Shixue: "Thank you, young lady!"

"Then my wife took me away with her," Ling Yan said with a smile.

Ling Yan then asked fiercely: "Where did you hide the other half of the food? If you don't tell me, the lives of your wife and children will be in danger!" Ling Yan looked at him straight in the eyes.

The clerk was intimidated by him, and he said, "I will tell you the truth." Then Ling Yan's eyes relaxed. The clerk said, "A traitor sneaked into my house and poisoned my wife, threatening me that if I didn't give him half of the food within two weeks, my wife would die of the poison. I was forced to do so!"

Ling Yan then asked him: "Have the poison of your wife and children been cured?" The aide replied cautiously: "The poison has been cured!"

Ling Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then do you know what this thief looks like, what kind of person he is, and where he comes from?"

Rinren said: "This thief is eight feet tall, and I can't see him clearly because of the mask, but he thinks he has done it perfectly. When he threatened me, I saw a totem on his arm, but I don't know where it came from."

Then Ling Yan asked him to draw it. The man drew it, and Ling Yan didn't know what it meant or which organization it belonged to. Then he asked: "Do you know where the thief is?"

The granary keeper said: "You are asking the right person. He came to the granary late at night and took the grain away with a few masked men. Then I secretly followed them and found that they transported the grain to a very simple house. I don't know why they transported the grain there!"

Ling Yan said again: "Then please lead the way, and we will go together."

Afterwards, Ling Yan released the storekeeper and asked him to lead the way. When they got there, the food was still there, but it was extremely dark around them, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them. Ling Yan felt more and more that something was wrong.

Suddenly, Ling Yan felt an arrow slowly coming towards him. He did a backflip and successfully avoided the arrow, but it was still dark around him and he could not see clearly!
