There were many carpenters in Rong County, but rebuilding homes was a big project, so the county magistrate sent people to the surrounding counties to hire some carpenters to help.
Since the money had already been given to them, they had to pay for the carpentry work themselves, while the materials for building the house would be provided by the county magistrate's office.
The people split into two groups and started to get busy.
When Yuchi Xi returned to the inn, he suddenly thought of a question, "Speaking of which, the county town here is flooded, what about the village?"
"What about the villages closer to the county town?"
Jing Huaian had inquired about it, and he knew the little princess would ask, "The village is quite far from the county town, and it's all built halfway up the mountain, so it hasn't been affected."
"The villagers are already used to this kind of weather."
Yuchi Xi nodded, "Send someone to check it out, halfway up the mountain... The most frightening thing is..."
There was a mudslide.
I hope everything is okay!
Jing Huaian nodded and went out to find someone to help take a look.
Lu Feiyu also came back. He wiped out the bandit's nest in one fell swoop. This time he left someone alive and threw him in front of Yuchi Xi.
When the man saw that Yuchi Xi was just a little baby, his eyes rolled around a few times and he wanted to lie.
Yuchi Xi directly placed a mantra talisman on his back and asked him, "Do you have any other people?"
"The rest of the people are gone, but we have a relationship with the city lord, so you better be careful."
Yuchi Xi:?
Very good, we can still dig out some people.
The man's eyes widened, unable to believe that he had betrayed the city lord like this. He wanted to say something against his will, but what came out of his mouth was, "Hmph, just wait, the city lord will definitely not let you go."
"Come to think of it, in the past, when providing disaster relief, the city lord would hide the money and only allocate a small amount. Why did he allocate so much this time?"
Yuchi Xi:?
Oh wow, there’s no need for daddy to investigate, this person gave the experience himself.
The man covered his mouth in horror. What was going on?
No, no, no, it's not!
That's not what he wanted to say!!
Why did he speak out his deepest true thoughts?
"And what's going on with the head? Why hasn't he come back yet? Could it be that he went to meet with the city lord?"
"Hey, I don't know how much benefit I can get from the city lord this time."
Yuchi Xi: Thank you, message delivery man.
Jing Huaian came back and heard these words:... Your master is really blessed to have someone like you.
Lu Feiyu was surprised. "The city lord is colluding with these people?"
Rong County is just a county town within the city. There are several other county towns. I wonder if the city lords also embezzled these life-saving funds from those county towns?
"Little Princess, what should we do with this person?"
Lu Feiyu asked her.
Yuchi Xi said, "Keep him locked up for now. We'll need him to testify against the City Lord later."
"yes."
Lu Feiyu took the person away.
Yuchi Xi stood up and walked out, "It's no use just watching them busy, I'll go and help!"
Jing Huaian followed with sword in hand.
Yuchi Xi first went to an inn called "Xiangsi". The name Xiangsi was very good, and many people who loved each other would come here to dine.
This inn was one of the inns that increased its prices several times when the disaster struck.
Yuchi Xi walked in, and immediately a waiter came forward with a smile, "Two guests, please come in."
Yuchi Xi followed him in and sat down before saying, "Bring a pot of good tea and a plate of meat. Oh, and call your shopkeeper."
The waiter was stunned, replied "yes", and hurried to find the shopkeeper.
He ran to the backyard and found the shopkeeper who was drinking tea, "Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you!"
The shopkeeper put down the teacup and asked, "Who is it?"
"I don't know." The waiter scratched his head. "She looks like a rich lady."
Rich lady?
The shopkeeper stood up, put his hands on both sides of his temples and smoothed his hair back. Could it be that he fell in love with him?
"Let me check. Which table?"
"The one by the window, with a guard." The waiter said as he walked towards the kitchen, "I'll go tell the chef first, she's taken her order."
The shopkeeper nodded and walked out. After a few steps, he stopped, took out a small bronze mirror from his sleeve, held it up, adjusted his face in the mirror, and then walked out with a smile.
Perfect.
Very handsome.
The shopkeeper was very hesitant when he found Yuchi Xi's table.
Because, the waiter didn’t mention that this rich girl was a little baby! !
How can this be called a rich lady? This should be called a rich little baby!
Damn, you uneducated idiot!
Although the shopkeeper was hesitant, he still stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is it the young lady who is looking for me?"
"It's me."
Yuchi Xi raised his eyes and smiled at him, "Shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper nodded.
Yuchi Xi extended his hand and gestured to the seat opposite him, "Please sit down."
The shopkeeper smiled and sat down. "I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"
He looked at Jing Huaian calmly. This guard could sit on the left side of the young lady.
Don’t guards usually stand behind the young lady?
Yuchi Xi asked him, "Look at your menu, it's not cheap!"
"I've asked a few people, and you didn't charge this much before. Why did you raise the price recently?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Alas, there's nothing we can do!"
"You know, there was a flood recently. The water just receded yesterday, and it washed away a lot of things!"
