Chapter 1186: Furious
Then, the origin of this dam is very questionable.
The old housekeeper suddenly remembered that the canal repair was also proposed by the village head, and he thought it was indeed appropriate, so he reported it to his superiors for instructions. Could it be that -
The old housekeeper called the village heads over to ask them about it, but they had no idea what was going on. They just said that they talked about this matter when they were chatting, and they thought it made sense, so they reported it to the old housekeeper. As for who said it, they couldn't remember.
Shao Yunduan speculated with a cold face: Someone avoided the eyes and ears of the Crown Prince's royal farm, intercepted and built a dam in the mountains that were not noticed in daily life, and then planned for the village heads to mention the matter of building a canal. This was for farming next year, and the East Palace had no reason to refuse.
When the canal was being built, the dam suddenly collapsed, causing a flood that destroyed all the villages it passed through, and also passed through the canal built by the crown prince's royal estate. I'm afraid that by then, it would even be rumored that the crown prince's royal estate had caused the flood by building a canal to divert water.
If the prince is not to blame for the tragic consequences of dozens of farmers being killed and injured, then whose responsibility should be taken?
Dozens of households, at least hundreds of lives!
The trouble caused by canal construction is no small matter.
In addition, this was the time when a fire broke out in the manor, which was caused by thunder from heaven, and the heaven was angry and warned the prince about his immorality. These two things happened at the same time, how could the Fourth Prince and the other two princes not add insult to injury?
How can the prince tell the difference?
How come the accident happened when the canal was being repaired in Huangzhuang? It is unreasonable to say that the two events have nothing to do with each other.
It turns out that the prince is immoral!
The most important thing is that the dam was built away from the eyes and ears of the Crown Prince's Royal Farm, which means that the person behind it is definitely not a simple person. As for who it is most likely to be, Shao Yunduan will not say anything about it.
This situation had already been arranged for the Crown Prince.
If Shao Yunduan hadn't seen it accidentally and realized something was wrong, the old butler would never have thought of it.
Shao Yunduan did not go to inspect the warehouse immediately. He returned to Beijing secretly and reported everything to the prince together with the old butler.
The prince's face darkened when he heard this. He naturally knew better than anyone that the more difficult it was to explain something that was groundless, the more likely it would make things worse.
It sounds logical and reasonable that building a canal led to the collapse of the dam. If someone else adds fuel to the fire, who would not believe it?
No one would go to the scene to investigate, no one would believe that the canal construction and the dam collapse had nothing to do with each other, and the prince had no way to prove that the two things had nothing to do with each other.
With so many lives lost, someone must come forward to confess the crime, either him or someone else. Since he is the one who has been pushed out, naturally no one will be polite.
Even if you don't want to add insult to injury, you must keep silent and remain neutral.
The situation here is chaotic right now, wouldn't that make things worse?
His brother really has a cruel heart!
"This matter cannot be made public. I'm afraid that someone is secretly watching the dam and my imperial farm. Shao Qing, I'll leave this matter to you to handle in secret. You must handle this matter without anyone noticing, and you must not cause the dam to collapse."
This was not an easy task, and the most important thing was to keep it secret, after all, there must be someone secretly guarding the dam at this time. If Shao Yunduan wanted to solve the problem, he had to be very alert and fight with others. If he was careless and someone found an opportunity to destroy the dam, then his efforts would fail.
