Ye Yongde thought about it again, "The water came and went away quickly. It didn't destroy any property. It just needs to be cleaned."

"Then the supervision of the construction of underground drainage ditches in Dadu City is a matter under the jurisdiction of the third uncle?"

Ye Yongde shook his head again, "The drainage ditches in the capital have been built for many years. They were there in the previous dynasty. Naturally, it is not my fourth uncle. As for the current supervision responsibility, it belongs to another minister of the Ministry of Industry, not me."

Ye Ningyu smiled and said, "That's right. The flood in the palace has not caused substantial damage, and it is not under the control of the fourth uncle. Why should the fourth uncle worry?"

Ye Yongde was stunned, "Ayun, you can't say that. No matter who is in charge of this matter, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, I naturally cannot shrink back. When the news about the flooding of the palace gate was spread, His Majesty was embarrassed.

Light, he will definitely be furious."

After that, Ye Yongde's voice became a little softer, "I heard that there have been some bad rumors in the public recently because of the flood. His Majesty has always disliked these. If they spread to the palace again, there may be some trouble...

"

"Fourth uncle." Seeing that Ye Yongde was really worried, Ye Ningyu calmed down and said, "I have also heard the rumors outside, 'The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and once the emperor turned into a real dragon'. Fourth uncle felt that this sentence

What do you mean?"

"Alas!" Ye Yongde sighed. "It doesn't matter what we think. What matters is what His Majesty will think. If His Majesty is overly concerned..."

"It is reasonable for Your Majesty to be overly concerned. If you are not overly concerned about such rumors, then you are not His Majesty. In my opinion, this rumor comes at the right time. Not only will it not add fuel to the fire of the flood, but it will also make His Majesty's response to the flood more serious."

Most of the anger caused by the matter has been aroused. Fourth uncle, think about it, depending on Your Majesty’s temperament, at this time, will you be more angry because of the Ministry of Industry’s poor supervision, or will you be more angry because of this unknown rumor? "

After hearing this, Ye Yongde froze and thought about it carefully. He seemed to think it made sense, but also felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't explain it for a while.

"Fourth uncle, you can rest assured that the flood in the palace will not have too serious consequences. Your Majesty will only blame the Ministry of Works for supervision oversight, and will not punish you randomly. As for the aftermath, the Ministry of Works will naturally know who is supervising the underground ditches.

Aftermath."

"Then what can I do now?" Ye Yongde asked this question subconsciously.

"Nothing to do."

"This..." Ye Yongde stood there, unable to say a word. He just ignored the matter and ignored it. His niece was not such a person before.

"Four uncle, please have a good rest. Nothing will happen at dawn tomorrow morning." When Ye Ningyu walked out of the study, she turned around and told Ye Yongde.

Watching his niece gradually disappear into the night, Ye Yongde's vision became increasingly blurry.

Some people realize that they cannot see the world clearly, but others are very confident and think that everything is under their control.

In the private room of Xinglong Restaurant, Xiao Guizi sipped slowly and tasted Liang Guo's fine wine.

"Master Gui, what do you think of the flavor of this hometown?" Ye Ningyu, who was wearing a mask and dressed in black, picked up a cup and drank with Xiao Guizi in the distance.

Xiao Guizi took a long sip and sighed with emotion. "It tastes like home! When it comes to making wine, Yu State is still a little inferior. Our Daliang wine is not as good as that of the other six countries. If it hadn't been brought here by the Nine Masters this time,

, I’m afraid I don’t have such a good taste. I’d like to toast Master Jiu with this glass.”

After that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Lord Gui, you're welcome." Ye Ning said and raised his glass quickly. After drinking a glass of wine, he felt his stomach was burning, but his lips and teeth were filled with fragrance.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Guizi was so drunk that she felt dizzy and her face turned red.

"There are rumors in the public that the flood has flooded the imperial palace of the Yu State, and the national destiny of the Yu State is probably at an end." Xiao Guizi shook his head, with a look on his face as if he had cleared away the clouds and seen the light.

Ye Ningyu put down the cup and glanced at Xiao Guizi. "Does Master Gui believe this?"

"Hey." Xiao Guizi waved her hand, "You and I are the same. As His Highness, we naturally don't believe in this kind of destiny. We only believe that everything depends on man."

"That being the case, what did Mr. Gui mean by what he just said?"

Xiao Guizi took the jug and poured a cup for Ye Ningyu herself. "Master Ninth, since I came to the capital of the Yu Kingdom, I have never seen peace here for a day. There is instability inside and outside, and the emperor and his ministers are suspicious, so you don't care about what others do.

, destiny or not, in short, the day for us to go home is just around the corner."

After saying that, Xiao Guizi patted Ye Ningyu's shoulder, her eyes blurred and extremely confident.

Ye Ningyu sat upright, looking straight at Xiao Guizi with an indifferent expression. "This time the Yu State Palace was flooded, Emperor Yu must carefully check the drainage ditches of the capital city. Can our place be passable?"

Do you need to check carefully?"

Xiao Guizi took another sip of wine and let out a heavy belch. He waved his hand and came to Ye Ningyu's side. "It doesn't matter, Emperor Yu wants to investigate, so naturally someone can settle things for us."

Ye Ningyu frowned, waved his hand to disperse the unpleasant smell of alcohol, and then spoke. "You mean, Zhao Qianshi, the Minister of Industry?"

Xiao Guizi was startled, and her eyes that were originally confused opened a lot. "This...this, has His Highness also told you?"

Ye Ningyu turned her head to avoid the smell of alcohol and said nothing.

Xiao Guizi smiled and said, "Zhao Qianshi has been involved in our place since it was first built. If we look at it carefully, if it weren't for this person, our place wouldn't be here today."

"I once heard His Highness say that this person is good at seeking benefits and avoiding harm, and he is very thoughtful. In the past, he was profitable, but now that he is involved, will he still cover for us?"

Xiao Guizi stopped pouring the wine and looked at Ye Ningyu with a mysterious smile. "Master Jiu, you guessed it wrong. Zhao Qianshi is indeed thoughtful, but he is indeed single-minded in cooperating with us. Even if

Even if we take his life, there is no way he will sell out our underground place."

"Why are you so sure?" Ye Ningyu still looked worried.

Xiao Guizi's smile became more and more mysterious. "The Nine Masters don't know something. When King Rui was still the crown prince of the Yu Kingdom, this was the first person he brought us to meet. King Rui once said that Zhao Qianshi was his first

A confidant, absolutely trustworthy. Later, Zhao Qianshi provided us with conveniences in every possible way. We also tried many times to win over and test, and we were indeed loyal to King Rui. As the Nine Masters know, King Rui is now imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and the Yu Kingdom is full of people.

Everyone, both civil and military, has fallen into trouble, and I'm afraid he is the only one who is still trying his best to save King Rui!"

"Oh?" The surprise on Ye Ningyu's face became more and more obvious, "Prince Rui actually has such a loyal minister?"

"Now, our arsenal is King Rui's only hope for a comeback in the future, and it is also Zhao Qianshi's only hope. He dreams that one day King Rui will come out and continue to cooperate with our country, Liang. At this time, he will lose his official title

, and will also guard this place for King Rui."

Ye Ningyu narrowed her eyes and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Guizi was also quite emotional, "As long as we don't let him know about our cooperation with King Yong, he will always cover up the underground location for us. The underground ditches in Dadu City are supervised by him. This time the Ministry of Industry wants to

He must be in charge of the investigation. So, we don’t have to worry about this matter, we are all our own."
