Chapter 397 Admiration
Blowing up a mountain is not a fun thing. It seems that there is no technical content, but only after doing it will you know that the placement of the explosives is very important. If it is not placed properly, not only will you fail to blow up the rocks you want, but it may also cause mudslides elsewhere.
Before, when Su Ying was walking around the mountains, she found several places as candidates. The first one to be blown up was the place she was most satisfied with. There was a backup option not far away. She did not blow it up at the time because she felt it was a little far away. However, now there were not enough places over there, so she could only use this backup option.
Thinking of this, Su Ying walked towards the small stone mountain.
After arriving at the place and determining the position, she took out the explosives from the space and blew up the stone mountain.
After the rocks were blown down and Su Ying was sure that no rocks were loose and could injure anyone, she called the workers over to move the rocks.
At this time, in Jingzhou City, merchants and officials who were involved with Yi Kun were a little worried after they could not find any news about Yi Kun.
That day, when the servant saw Yi Kun enter Su Ying's courtyard and never come out, he waited outside the courtyard for a few more days. When Yi Kun still didn't show up, he realized that something was wrong, so he immediately slipped out of the mansion through the back door and came to a magnificent mansion.
On the plaque of the gate were printed two big characters: He Mansion.
After the servant entered through the small door of the He Mansion, he was led into a room.
At the door, a figure was sitting behind the screen, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Master He, something happened."
The person behind the screen paused, "What's the matter?"
"A few days ago, the Queen suddenly arrived in Jingzhou. Lord Yi sent her to the guest house and she has not come out since then."
Hearing this, the person sitting behind the screen straightened up from his chair and asked, "What did you say? The Queen has arrived in Jingzhou?"
"Yes, Master He, but he has already left the house. I don't know if he went to the dam."
"Ridiculous, why would the Queen come to Jingzhou?"
The figure walked out from behind the screen with a look of disbelief.
"Master He is very insightful. Even if I were given a hundred timid people, I would not dare to lie to you. The Queen really came. I heard that she was the one who sent the original picture."
Mr. He still didn't believe it. The court was not without people, so how could they allow the master of the harem to come?
However, he also felt that his servants did not have the courage to lie to him, so he asked his own people to find out the truth.
Su Ying did not deliberately publicize her arrival in Jingzhou, but she also did not hide it from anyone. One could tell the truth by just asking around.
When Mr. He confirmed that the queen had really arrived in Jingzhou, he was still surprised, but he quickly came to his senses. No matter what the reason was for the emperor to let the queen go to Jingzhou, what they had done must not be exposed.
Immediately, Mr. He contacted several families involved to discuss how to deal with the situation.
"You sent someone to deliver a letter to Yi Kun, but there has been no response?"
Mr. He said with a serious face: "No, someone in his house said that he has not come out since he went into the house with the queen. I wonder if Yi Kun has been arrested?"
This made everyone present look panicked. "What does the Queen, a woman, know? Just send some gold, silver and jewelry to please her and the matter will be settled. Does she really know how to build a dam?" someone suggested.
Mr. He was not so optimistic. "If it is that simple, Yi Kun will not lose contact with us. Find a way to get information from the City Guard House, and then find out where the queen is now. Find a chance to go to this woman to find out the truth."
This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
That day, Su Ying's secret guards found her.
"My queen, those people may have discovered something unusual and started sending people to the city guard's mansion to get information."
"They must know that Yi Kun knocked Zhu Lin down. As long as they check outside the city, they will know where Zhu Lin is. This matter cannot be concealed. You spread the news in the city guard's office, saying that Yi Kun was arrested and confessed everything. Let them be desperate, and then use my Phoenix Order to block the city gates, and catch them when they are about to escape with the money."
"I understand."
Su Ying is now busy with things here and has no intention of dealing with those bastards. It won't be too late to pluck the feathers from them after she figures things out.
Thinking of this, Su Ying continued to concentrate on filling the hole.
It wasn't until two days later that they finally filled and repaired the diversion port. Although the water flow could not be completely blocked, most of the water could no longer flow through.
Finally, just fill in the remaining silt and reinforce it.
"My lady, you have worked so hard these past few days."
These days, Su Ying has been moving stones almost without any rest, and even though she has good physical strength, her body can hardly bear it.
"Everyone has worked hard. Go home first. I will have someone send your wages to you tomorrow morning."
"Your Majesty, we common people cannot accept this salary."
As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, a worker stood up and said.
"We common people have heard about it these days. There was a problem at the new dam. The Queen was worried that the flood would wash away the new dam, so she took the trouble to carry stones here with us common people. We common people are really moved by the fact that the Queen is so wealthy and yet she is not afraid of danger and hardship." As she spoke, the common people knelt down to Su Ying.
"With the Queen acting like this, how can a commoner like me be greedy for some silver?"
"Yes, Madam, you are a good queen who serves the country and the people. We, the common people, have admired you for generations."
More and more people echoed this, saying that they could not even afford a full meal, but they could get away with not having to work for so many days.
Looking at their faces that were washed pale by the heavy rain, Su Ying suddenly felt a little sour in her nose. This feeling was very wonderful, something she had never experienced before. "I feel your kindness, but the season is not good now, and everyone needs to eat. You should take the money. The emperor will definitely make your life better and better in the future."
"This time, everyone who comes to help will be given 10 kilograms of rice so that everyone can have a full meal."
"Thank you, Queen. Thank you, Queen."
The clerk came over holding an umbrella and said, "Madam, the villagers at the foot of the mountain have prepared dinner for you in the village. Would you like to go?"
The situation at the diversion outlet has been basically dealt with. She wanted to go to Zhu Lin's place, but it would take a while to get there by taking the mountain road. It would be better to go to Xinba on the way, then rest in the village for a night before going to find Zhu Lin.
Su Ying followed the clerk down the mountain. When passing by Xinba, she found that the workers there had stopped working. It was pitch black all around, and there was not even a single person in sight.
It should be that Zhu Lin stopped the construction of the new dam and transferred people to the old dam.
In a blink of an eye, Su Ying followed the clerk to the village entrance.
