The mansion outside the Qinhuai Palace is called the Seventh Palace. He has not yet been crowned king, so he dare not have a plaque that is too ostentatious. However, in addition to this place, there is another world hidden in the mansion. First, a secret prison was built according to his wishes, and then a secret passage was opened. The secret passage was built all the way from the Seventh Palace to a place outside the capital. The people in the palace also knew about this.

The Qingzhou flood was an open matter. The imperial court allocated silver for disaster relief. The money went from the province to the county, from the county to the prefecture, and then to the hands of the officials responsible for building the river embankments. Along the way, it passed through the hands of many people, making it difficult to check, but it can be checked.

Qin Huai did not delay. As soon as he returned home, he sent the secret guards to Qingzhou. Starting from the end, all suspicious people who did not cooperate were arrested and brought back to the capital. He himself rode a horse and swaggered to the Ministry of Revenue in Qianbu Gallery.

"...Seventh Prince is indeed a good tactician."

Qi Cheng smacked his lips and threw a peanut into his mouth. He leaned his body, propped up his legs, and sat however he felt comfortable. He only dared to act like this in front of Qi Xiu.

"But those ministers are also gossipy. This matter has spread to the market so quickly. Father has also mentioned it again and again today. I think he quite agrees with his approach..."

He laughed, secretly including his father in the group of gossips. Qi Xiu raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything to him.

"There is nothing wrong with this. Huai'an, think about it. If this happened to you, what would you do?"

When he said this, Qi Cheng understood what his elder brother meant. He immediately sat up straight, threw the peanuts in his hand onto the table, and started complaining.

"Brother, please forgive me. You know that I am good at martial arts but not at literature..."

His tone was pitiful, and as he spoke he raised his hand to wipe away the unnecessary tears from his eyes. Qi Xiu was amused by him and pushed a cup of tea back to him, motioning for him to drink it.

"He did it cleanly and efficiently, directly controlling the money and grain in his own hands, thus avoiding the cycle of money flowing down again and again."

Seeing that he was listening seriously, Qi Xiu's brows relaxed and he continued.

"If he just checked this batch, there would be another batch after this one, and it would be repeated over and over again. In the end, what he found would not match the accounts. Now the Qingzhou incident is big, but also small..."

Flood.

It's a natural disaster.

However, the flood in Qingzhou was also caused by the collapse of the river embankment. Qingzhou is close to the water and the mountains. In order to prevent floods, the imperial court repairs and inspects the river embankment every year. Due to the recent rise in water levels, the Qingzhou river embankment was specially raised and reinforced. Why was it destroyed by water in such a short time?

If you think about it, you can guess that the construction funds were also secretly withheld. This matter is difficult to investigate because it has passed through too many people's hands and because the new construction project has been under construction for three months.

"Plus, epidemics often break out after a flood. If the flood is not dealt with in time, when an epidemic breaks out, the only option left is to abandon the city."
