Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 077 Recognition of Relatives

Who could this person be? Jiang family? Xia family? Li family? Jiang Ruan's eyes were deep, and she was afraid that Ye Li had something to do with this matter. The weakening of the Zhao family was what he was most happy to see.

However, in this life, she provided the Zhao family with food for disaster relief, Zhao Yi was not dead, and the Zhao family stood well among the nobles in Capital. When Ye Li knew about this, she wonders what kind of mentality he had?

Zhao Yi caught that group of people. No matter what, knowing that there was a spy in the garrison, he went back and told the Zhao family. The Zhao family was not easily fooled. While thinking about the matter clearly, they would also begin to be vigilant. It would not be so easy for Ye Li to take action again.

Most importantly, Jiang Ruan sighed softly. The original matter was always a hurdle with Zhao Guang. She saved the Zhao family and Zhao Yi. Not sure if this as a reward for the transaction can get her into the general's mansion. No matter what, for Jiang Xinzhi, she has to give it a try.
…

The rain was getting heavier.

The people living near the hillside suffered, and a lot of mud poured down. Bochang Reservoir is the largest reservoir in the capital. The irrigation of farmland in the capital depends on water diversion from here. 

However, the rain was fierce, and the water in the reservoir overflowed, and the reservoir was also at risk of collapse. Xuan Li led his men to control the water and temporarily suppressed the momentum of the rising water.
In the Zhuangyuan Mansion, the young Zhuangyuan stood in front of the window, frowning and thinking at the rain.

Mrs. Liu came in with brown sugar ginger soup and put the bowl on the table. Seeing Liu Min like this, she sighed and said, "What a sin this is, it has harmed many families for nothing." 

They were born from the common people and felt the suffering of the people. If Liu Min had not entered the court as an official, maybe they would be displaced like these people, suffering from hunger and cold.

Liu Min patted Madam Liu on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother, everything will pass."

"If it weren't for General Zhao distributing grain for disaster relief, I don't know how many people would starve to death." Madam Liu sighed: "General Zhao is a good official. You can get close to him in the court."

Liu Min nodded. However, the rain continued to fall endlessly, and one day Zhao Guang's money would be spent. This matter can only solve the immediate problem, not a long-term solution. He remembered that the eighth prince asked him enthusiastically about his views on the flood a few days ago. 

The eighth prince seemed to want to contribute to curbing the flood. But how could a person who really cares about the world consider everything like him.

Liu Min sighed almost imperceptibly. The water in the court is not shallow. Only when you are in it, you will know that it is difficult to act. 

Every time at this time, he would think of that "confidant". If he were here, it would be great.
…

The porridge distribution never stopped for more than ten days, and the capital gradually calmed down. If there was any new news, it was that the city garrison caught a group of robbers disguised as refugees in Chongxin Village in the east of the city. 

The city garrison was short of manpower that day, so the garrison borrowed a group of people from Jingzhao Yin. When they arrived at Chongxin Village, there was a fierce battle. They finally subdued the robbers and put them in jail, but all the robbers committed suicide in jail overnight.

The people of the capital applauded and were worried at the same time. The city was so uneasy that life would be even more difficult in the future. The city garrison in the capital was proud of this incident.
