The news of Princess Wen Xian's arrival in Riverside City spread very quickly. It had been more than half a month since the river burst, and the victims had been waiting for the imperial court's relief efforts. But this time, the relief supplies had yet to arrive, and even the relief officials had yet to arrive.

Originally, they were all in despair, but with Mu Yunyao's arrival, they suddenly saw hope.

With the help of the Xinshun Bank, the food and medicinal herbs prepared by Wuxiang and Nebula Market were quickly brought over by the waterway. At the same time, Supervisor Qin, Wei Yi, and Yun Chun had also arrived at Riverside City.

Steward Qin's eyes were filled with excitement when he saw Mu Yunyao. After carefully sizing her up, he respectfully saluted and said, "Greetings, Princess Wen Xian."

Mu Yunyao revealed a smile, "Steward Qin, please excuse yourself. It's been hard on you these past few days."

"There's nothing to work on. Fortunately, I saved a portion of the grains and Nebula Market's support. That's why I didn't hold up my business. Young miss, quickly come and take a look. Are these food and medicinal herbs sufficient? " Mu Yunyao received the booklet and carefully examined it, then called over the six taels of silver that had rushed back. "Riverside City has suffered the most from this calamity, and many of the commoners have already gotten sick. After obtaining the medicinal ingredients, I have to keep an eye on them and suppress their illness, so we can't leave Riverside City for the time being. You and Wei Yi, Cloud

The soldiers will split into two groups. Go to Huai An City, hand over the herbs and food to the officials of Huai An City. Wei Yi and Yun Chun will go to Yi Shui City and at least let the citizens see a glimmer of hope. " Because of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, Huai An City's officials had cleared up a group of people without restraint. Moreover, the disaster was not considered serious, so the situation was still alright. Sending food and medicine over was enough to solve the urgent problem.

The flood of water into the Yi River caused the water level to rise severely. A second flood occurred, cutting off the path to Yi River City. Currently, the news about Yi River City was the least.

"Yes." The three of them quickly responded.

Steward Qin looked around the messy city and could not help but sigh, "All these years, the Dai Dynasty has been peaceful and prosperous. Suddenly, such a serious flood happened. The scene was quite glaring."

Mu Yunyao and Supervisor Qin returned to the county magistrate's office that they had cleaned up at the last moment. "Supervisor Qin, do you have any news of His Highness King Yue?" Steward Qin shook his head with a heavy expression: "I have indeed been in contact with you after you came down from the King's Palace. The books in each of your residences were accurate, and there was not the slightest problem with the amount of tax. He felt that something was amiss, so he found out about the salt merchant and told me to investigate the news. Afterwards, he received the Miss's message …

He brought the letter directly to Riverside City, and it was here that we suddenly lost our traces. "

Mu Yunyao tightly clenched the Yuan Treasure Inscription in her hand, and her eyes filled with sadness. "I gave you the letter … Your Highness, which salt merchant did I get you to investigate? "

"Jiang Lin City's Zhou Huai, Yang Zhou City's Jiang Jin …" Steward Qin had a clear understanding of some people's information, so he explained it in great detail.

Mu Yunyao listened attentively. Suddenly, a frown appeared on her forehead. "So how are they now?"

Steward Qin was surprised for a moment before he shook his head, "I didn't pay much attention to them because of the matter of Lin Jiang breaking the dike …"

"Supervisor Qin, we need you to supervise this matter personally. Send more people to find traces of these people you've investigated and see if they're still alive …"

"Miss, is there a problem with all these people?" After Yang Lian met with an accident, Prince Jin tried his best to erase the evidence of the salt tax deficit in Jiangnan. This breakout in Riverside City could be said to be his handiwork, as the boat carrying the salt tax on silver sank on the river. No matter how big the deficit was, it's impossible to find any traces of it.

If the salt merchant is killed, he will be safe and sound. "

Steward Qin could not sit still any longer. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Then I'll go investigate immediately."

"Send some men to investigate Jiang Lin City's Zhou Huai!"

After giving out her orders, Mu Yunyao sat in the yamen and waited for news. Very quickly, the magistrate of Riverside County hurried over, "Reporting to the princess, you must investigate Zhou Yi. The entire family has lost their lives in the flood."

Mu Yunyao's eyes flashed, "I understand. I'll have to trouble Senior Registrar to come over. Do you have any understanding about Zhou Quan?" Zhou Huijiang City's most famous garden, Riverside Garden, had been built by the Zhou family. In other words, Riverside Garden was better built than no other building, and many people of status liked to go to Riverside Garden to have fun and amuse themselves.

However, no matter how rich you are, it's useless. With so many subordinates protecting you, isn't the whole family lost in the flood? "

"A family of old and young... Not a single member of the Zhou Family escaped? "

The Registrar Official was stunned for a moment before his expression changed, "Princess, I also feel that something is amiss. The entire Zhou Mansion is filled with over a hundred people, but they are all dead. This is definitely out of the ordinary."

"You said that the Zhou family and the county magistrate were on good terms. Have you seen the two of them before Lin Jiang broke the dam?"

"I'm not sure about that, but the county magistrate really likes to go to Riverside Garden, which is the Zhou family's territory. Even if the two of them were to meet, no one would notice."

Mu Yunyao nodded. "I understand. I don't know where the Jiang Courtyard is, but I'll have to trouble you to guide me. I'd like to take a look."

"Now that Riverside Garden has been settled down, the princess will probably be rammed into if she goes."

"Placed the victims?"

"Yes, we also know that you've arranged for such a good place to be empty. It would be better to give it to the common people than to say that such a good place is empty."

"Did you arrange for the victims to be settled after the river broke or did you only do it after I arrived?"

The Registrar Official paused, "It was arranged after the princess arrived."

"I got it. It's good that the victims are gathering. We can help them check if their bodies are healthy. Lead the way."

The place where Riverside Garden was located hadn't been affected much. As spring approached, the garden was filled with life and vitality. It was as if a small garden gate had separated the space. A hundred flowers bloomed inside the door, the scenery was beautiful, the walls were broken, the silt was accumulated …

Mu Yunyao walked in. There weren't many victims in the garden, and they were all placed in one place. It didn't have much effect on other places.

Lin Jiang knew that Mu Yunyao had brought someone with her to Riverside Garden and hurriedly rushed over. "Greetings, Princess."

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes. "Does the same person know that Lord Lin Jiang lives at this place?"

"No, that's not it. It's just that the victims have been placed here. This official was really worried, so I came here to help take care of them." Mu Yunyao looked at Jiang You who had a nervous expression and suddenly sneered. "Men, detain him and interrogate him. Let him tell us everything he knows!"
