Chapter 265: The Dam

"Okay, you go to bed early too." If it were before, Feng Xiye would still think of getting some benefits for herself from Feng Jiuqing.

But now I see her frowning every day. Many times words come to her lips but she can't say them out.

He closed the door for Feng Jiuqing and stood outside the door for a while before turning and leaving.

Feng Jiuqing's arrival did not attract too many people's attention, because she had specifically ordered the city lord to keep a low profile.

Early the next morning, Feng Jiuqing put on coarse clothes and ordered the city lord to hire more doctors.

Although the Lord of Xicheng looked unreliable, he acted very quickly. In the afternoon, he found four or five wizards and doctors from Xicheng's former medical clinic.

Let them cooperate with the previous doctors to treat the people affected by the disaster.

Feng Jiuqing and Feng Xiye went to the river embankment to investigate and see how the embankment should be repaired.

Feng Xiye watched Feng Jiuqing walking around the embankment, as if measuring the distance with her steps.

This idea surprised him and also made him feel a little funny.

He knew that Feng Jiuqing was a very smart woman, but no matter how smart a woman was, it was impossible for her to be proficient in everything, not to mention that Feng Jiuqing had lost part of her memory, which made it even more impossible.

He asked tentatively: "What is Jiu'er doing? Why don't you understand?"

Feng Jiuqing also turned around with a confused look on her face, lowered her head and knitted her eyebrows.

"I don't know why I do this, but I just thought in my mind, give it a try first, and then go back and talk to the people at the Ministry of Industry. They might be useful in doing this."

What she didn't say was that when she was doing this just now, the prototype of the dam already had a rough shape in her mind.

Looking at Feng Xiye's expression, she also knew that Feng Xiye probably didn't know that she knew this. Since the people closest to her didn't know, there was no need for her to tell her, lest Feng Xiye would get entangled.

The two of them stood by the raging river for more than two hours. Even though they were only standing at a distance, the splashing water still made their hair wet.

"Go back, how's your check going?"

Feng Xiye had long discovered something strange about Xicheng.

Over the years, I checked back and forth more than once, so I revealed all the information I found to her in a comprehensive way.

"Among them, it's not just the business of these wealthy families..." He paused, looking a little complicated.

"If just a few businessmen were doing these shameful things so blatantly, the Lord of West City might have taken action long ago."

Feng Jiuqing was such a smart person, she instantly understood what he meant by these words.

"Are you saying that someone in court provided them with an umbrella to protect them from the sun?"

Feng Xiye nodded, "Not only do I know this, I also found out the person behind this incident. But now, we can't touch him."

"who is it?"

Feng Jiuqing understood very well that the Western Region was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.

There is an undercurrent surging underneath, and I don’t know how many powerful officials want to overthrow the dynasty.

I just don’t know what means Feng Xiye used to defend the Western Region.

Feng Xiye glanced at her, raised her thin lips, and slowly uttered a name, "Wanyan Lie."

Feng Jiuqing was not particularly surprised when she heard this name.

A general with military power and great military exploits also has freedom that no one else has. If he doesn't have some other ideas, it would be a rare thing.

I'm afraid that all the money fell into Wanyan Lie's pocket, and now it has been converted into food and grass money for his own soldiers and horses.

Feng Jiuqing felt a headache, "I know, it's probably not a year or two anymore. Since Wanyan Lie hasn't taken action for such a long time, we might still be able to save the people of Xicheng."

"Maybe Wanyan Lie is not so tolerant of us now."

Feng Xiye had always been strategizing, but now she actually said such depressing words, which made Feng Jiuqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"how you said that?"

"In the past, Wanyan Chunnian was unwilling to go along with his father because of the generation-to-generation friendship between the Wanyan family and the Feng family. Now that Wanyan Lie has found his first son who had been lost for many years, Wanyan Chun has become an abandoned son.

.”

So in the past, Wanyan Lie would temporarily put things on hold for Wanyan Chun's sake, but now that's not necessarily the case.

Feng Jiuqing's eyebrows were tightly tangled as she remembered Wanyan Chun, who had just returned to Beidi some time ago.

Suddenly a little angry, "Have you known these things for a long time?"

Feng Xiye was startled. He was very sensitive to Feng Jiuqing's emotions, and he knew that she was angry almost instantly.

He really didn't mean to hide this from Feng Jiuqing, "I only found out about it after Wanyan Chun left. But later I saw that you were very busy with the flood situation, so I didn't tell you."

Feng Jiuqing glanced at him suspiciously, as if she wanted to find some trace of lying on his face.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and reminded him again, "I've told you more than once that I hate people deceiving me the most, so you'd better not let me find out anything."

"Absolutely not." In fact, Feng Xiye still felt a little guilty.

He had to hurry up and find time to completely erase Feng Jiuqing's previous memories. Only in this way, he would not have to worry every day whether she would suddenly regain her memory one day and leave ruthlessly.

Both of them made a tacit understanding and never mentioned the matter again.

Let’s start thinking together about how to get those people to spit out the money they have swallowed.

This matter is neither difficult nor easy.

Feng Jiuqing had her own way, which required her to risk her own life.

First, the construction of the dam was made public in front of the Lord of Xicheng City.

When the people heard the news, they were not particularly excited.

It’s not like the embankment had never been built before, but it collapsed shortly after it was repaired. They still watched their property fall into the ocean at regular intervals every year.

This result made them completely lose confidence in the court.

After reading the announcement at the city gate, everyone left dejectedly, shaking their heads and cursing.

"We have to build a dike again. I wonder how long we can last this time?"

"I don't know if the money was used to build the dam. The same goes for the young master. When it was time for her to do something, she actually married into the Yan Dynasty. Although she came back, it didn't have any effect."

Feng Jiuqing stood behind the crowd and listened clearly to these people's complaints about her.

Her expression remained unchanged, but Feng Xiye, who was standing next to him, looked very embarrassed.

"These people are talking nonsense, you are not at all..."
