Chapter 5 I love my beautiful father the most!

This inner voice frightened Eunuch Changshun so much that he staggered and the teacup in his hand became unstable. The crisp sound of jade stones colliding rang out in this hall that seemed extremely quiet to others, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Yanchuan looked inquiringly, but Jiang Yingcheng raised her chubby little face, her almond-shaped eyes full of confusion.

[What's wrong with you, uncle? There's nothing on the ground to entangle him.]

Thinking of the word "絆", she suddenly remembered her previous plan to scam people.

After scanning the hall, his sight successfully locked onto the figure in the corner.

【Found it! 】

She slid down from the couch like a loach, and was about to run towards the man with her short legs. When she passed by Jiang Yanchuan, he grabbed her, and then her feet left the ground and were placed next to him.

Jiang Yanchuan exuded the warmth and energy of a martial artist, as well as a very pleasant fragrance.

She liked both kinds of atmosphere very much. After being arranged to sit down, she moved closer to him carefully, completely forgetting what she wanted to do just now.

[Hehehe, Chengcheng likes the beautiful father the most! ]

She thought her action was very covert and no one would notice it, but she didn't know that Jiang Yanchuan had already seen it. However, he turned his eyes away steadily, silently approving of her action.

Changshun silently placed the teacup next to Jiang Yanchuan, turned around and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He had just heard such shocking news, and was so frightened that he did not even have time to take a look at who the corrupt official the little princess was talking about was.

However...

When he stopped, he silently glanced at Jiang Yanchuan's face again.

The opponent's methods are several times more sophisticated than those of the late emperor, so this little thing should not be difficult for him.

Jiang Yanchuan coughed lightly, drawing back all the inquiring eyes on Jiang Yingcheng, and said slowly and nonchalantly, "I called you here today to hear about the progress of the task I gave you a few days ago."

The Minister of Works was the first to bow and say, "Your Majesty, I personally went to the moat yesterday to inspect it. After the repairs this year, the moat is already very stable. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

There was silence in the room. After Zhang Ding'an finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at the small empty space in front of him. He was not sure what Emperor Mingze meant.

In the past, after listening to the officials' reports, Emperor Mingze would always respond with a few comments or questions, and would never let the topic stagnate here and remain silent for a long time.

Could it be that his soul is wandering in space?

Jiang Yanchuan didn't say anything, but he was not idle either.

It was unknown what the man Jiang Yingcheng called "Brother Tong" said to her, and Jiang Yanchuan could only hear her exclamations one after another.

Suddenly, Jiang Yingcheng stretched out his chubby little hand and grabbed a piece of his clothes, his eyes filled with anxiety that almost overflowed.

[My dear father, don't believe him! This man didn't even go to the moat to inspect yesterday. He's just talking nonsense!]

[Wuwuwu, I really want to tell my father, Brother Tong, please think of a solution quickly! ]

[What do you mean by familiarity with the land and birthplace of the land? Brother Tong, please speak more slowly. ]

[Oh, this guy is using cultivated soil to build a dike...]

She automatically skipped the long list of popular science that followed from 007, and concluded briefly but forcefully: [Danger! ]

Jiang Yanchuan's eyes suddenly darkened.

Although the young man's words were vague, he had extracted the context of the incident from these two scattered sentences.

Zhang Ding'an was so bold that he used cultivated soil as raw soil to repair the river and embezzled the repair funds from the imperial court.

This kind of soil is too loose and soft. If it is not discovered early, there will be a risk of the dam collapsing in the spring and summer when there is too much rain.

Jiang Yanchuan remained expressionless, and uttered a long "hmm", secretly making a note of it in his heart.

We have to investigate further to confirm that what the little guy said is true.

Zhang Dingan let out a long sigh of relief.

Jiang Yingcheng was extremely anxious. Her little hand was still holding the small piece of cloth, shaking back and forth very quickly, not knowing how to tell the whole story to her handsome father.

But 007 said that in this era, people respect ghosts and gods but are also afraid of them. If anyone discovers anything unusual about her, she will be burned to death!

Jiang Yingcheng was still forcing 007 to find a solution for her in her heart, when suddenly a shadow covered her head. Then, Jiang Yanchuan's big hand fell and grasped her small hand again.

Jiang Yanchuan's tone, which had always been unhurried, finally became a little helpless: "Stop making trouble."

If you listen carefully, you can hear a subtle hint of pampering.

007 finally got a moment of peace and took the opportunity to persuade: "Even if the dam collapses, it will be next year. We still have time to find a solution."

Jiang Yingcheng was in a good mood after having his hand pulled again, and he let it go without hesitation: [Then remember to remind me before the embankment collapses next year.]

007: [Okay, okay.]

Jiang Yanchuan: “…”

Changshun: “…”

Changshun felt his legs go weak and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to this little dumpling right now.

How come he got to hear this news?

If he keeps the matter to himself, there is no guarantee that this little ancestor will really go too far and forget to tell Emperor Mingze about it.

When the river breaks the bank, the people in the city will suffer. If someone dies, he will feel guilty.

But if he went to tell Emperor Mingze about this...

How do we explain the source of the news?

Changshun is almost overwhelmed.

The remaining officials reported in turn, and Jiang Yingcheng just stared with her big round eyes, looking at whoever was speaking. Curiosity, disgust, love, and shock appeared in her eyes. Even if no inner voice was heard, her thoughts were very easy to understand.

[Wow, this person's house was robbed yesterday, and when they were trying to catch the thief, they happened to see him having a secret meeting with someone in the side room of the house? ]

[He is so miserable. His wife took away all his salary. He doesn't even have any pocket money, not even enough to buy snacks! ]

[Ah? This uncle's newly born son is not his own? Hmm...then he is more miserable.]

Chang Shun was struggling to hold back his laughter the entire time, and Jiang Yanchuan also had a slight smile on his lips.

After the last official finished his report, the originally cheerful complaints suddenly became much more solemn.

[How dare he embezzle so much money! ]

007 had just told her how many small cakes could be bought with 900,000 taels of silver, and she finally had a rough idea of ​​the number.

Jiang Yingcheng was indignant in his heart and said: [With so many snacks, can he finish them all?!]

Jiang Yanchuan suddenly stood up and took two steps towards the man.

That was Liu Zhengqing, the Minister of Personnel who had just been promoted from the position of Vice Minister of Personnel.
