Villain, Please Go Easy On Me (English Translation Pt.3)

400. The Governor: Digging A Canal

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Su Bei tilted his head, “So bloody.”

748, “…” It might have been more persuasive if the host had not uttered an emotionless statement with a straight face.

The magistrate finally knew why Governor Su was so horrible as the rumors said, he said with a trembling voice, “My lord, what is your next plan?”

Su Bei said, “Wait.”

What can he do before getting the relief money and food back?

The magistrate was stunned, “Well…”

Ignoring him directly, Su Bei touched his chin, “Is there any water resource nearby?”

The magistrate shook his head, “No. If there is one, it wouldn’t be like this.”

Su Bei then said, “It’s OK if it’s a little further away.”

The magistrate pondered, “There is a big river further away, although due to the impact of the disaster, there is no longer so abundant water.”

“But quite far away, a round-trip will take a day’s time.”

Su Bei nodded and walked away directly.

The magistrate looked at Feng Qianjue, confused, “Governor Su…What does it mean?”

Feng Qianjue smiled slightly, “I also do not know.”

Su Bei’s people also went into the town. Efficient enough, they had found out who had embezzled those money and food using Su Bei’s name.

It was a retired official who had ever fawned on Su Bei when he was in his position.

Since he had found out who did it, of course he should ask it back. As for reporting it to His Majesty? Not possible. He was Governor Su who could cover half the sky with a hand!

When that retired official was dragged out of the quilt, he looked quite panicked.

In a twinkling, the house was turned upside down.

He wanted to struggle, but when he heard that it was Su Bei, he could only cry for mercy.

All the things for the disaster relief were taken back, not only that, even the money and food from that retired official’s place was used for disaster relief.

So the relief supplies were quite substantial.

As everyone thought that Su Bei would send out those relief materials, he did not, on the contrary, as if he had no such a plan at all.

Su Bei and Feng Qianjue went to the big river the magistrate said, indeed, it was not quite affected by the disaster, there was abundant water.

But the terrain near the river was not so good, impossible to build houses or farm.

Otherwise, all refugees would have already come here.

Feng Qianjue asked Su Bei, “What do you want to do?”

Su Bei said, “Dig a canal.”

That seemed to be the only thing he remembered in the history book, and he thought it was pretty good.

If they could open a canal, even if there was a drought or something in the future, people would have water to irrigate the fields.

Well, most of all, he found it funny and wanted to have a try.

Feng Qianjue’s pupils contracted, he really didn’t expect that Su Bei was really trying to do something for those refugees.

He thought that after knowing that this was just an excuse for the emperor to kill him, Su Bei would choose not to put this matter in mind, but he did not.

Su Bei had kept refreshing his cognition about him.

The two of them rode a horse along the river for a long time. Su Bei asked Feng Qianjue, “I wonder if you know some experts on this?”

Yeah, only those professionals would handle it. As a layman, he totally had no idea how.

Feng Qianjue answered, “You are asking the right person, I happen to know such a person, who is quite familiar with this.”

Su Bei’s OS was, see? As long as I got something I can’t handle, I can turn help from the male lead! Sometimes, the male lead is omnipotent!
