chapter 110
Chapter 110: I fell in love with your lady
When Tan Zong left the camp, the water level in the camp had already spread half of his calf.
The rain had been falling for more than an hour and nearly two hours, but at this time there was no sign of a stop. The heavy rain fell from the sky without restraint, and blew into the carriage that had only opened halfway through the strong wind, causing a lot of dry clothes on Tan Zong's body to get wet again.
"This is a damn heavy rain." Tan Zong spitted into the rain when he got out of the car, but found that the spit was flowing backwards along the water, and it happened to be on his trouser legs: "Bah, it's really unlucky."
In fact, Tan Zong could have come here early, but the coachman only knew the approximate location. Therefore, he went wrong twice on the road. Tan Zong was clever and asked the coachman to find such a place when he walked along the river, otherwise he would have missed it.
After entering the room, Tan Zong saw Zhao Yunan.
At this moment, Zhao Yunan was sitting quietly cross-legged on a bed, with an old oil lamp illuminating it, making the room look quite warm - at least better than the ones that are dark outside. There were a few stones under the bed, so it would be unexpectedly flooded.
Seeing Tan Zong coming in, Zhao Yunan nodded kindly to Tan Zong and said kindly: "You are here, sit down."
Although Zhao Yunan was extremely friendly, Tan Zong didn't feel flattered at this moment, but just waded in the water. Tan Zong pulled his legs out of the water until the water dripping on his pants was almost done, and then he sat cross-legged on the bed like Zhao Yunan.
Remembering what he had heard outside just now, Tan Zong couldn't help asking: "I heard that everyone was caught this time?"
Zhao Yunan nodded and was about to speak, but a guard came to report outside the door, saying that the rain was too heavy and the water level outside the dike was rising very quickly. Zhong Cheng sent someone to come and ask if he wanted to leave first.
After hearing this, Tan Zong was ready to go home, but Zhao Yunan shook his hand and said, "No, you can tell the leader Zhong and ask him to take a few people back to continue interrogation. We will go directly along the Hebei and go to the river bank to take a look."
After hearing this, the guard was stunned. He saw Zhao Yunan, Gujing Wubo, or Wuji's angry eyes and quickly took the order.
"Your Majesty is not worried about the river embankment?" Tan Zong said when he saw the guard leaving: "In my opinion, there is no need to go up the river. Just call the Han family's supervisor to interrogate it, and you can know where there are problems on both sides of the river embankment, so that we can't run around without any means."
"You are right." Zhao Yunan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He hurriedly called the guards outside the door to come in and give orders. Then he turned his head and said, "Wang Ren said he is ready to fight the flood. Do you think his words are trustworthy?"
"Wang Ren?" Tan Zong tilted his head and thought for a while, then said slowly: "It's hard to say. I guess he is in a state of turmoil now, so he has no intention of dealing with this matter. Just looking at the rain, there are still people who bring stones in the rain, so he knows that they have not repaired the river embankment, but I'm afraid there will be some mistakes at this moment."
"I'm just worried about these things." Zhao Yunan also nodded and said, "And I think not only the river embankment in Nanjing City has not been repaired, but the river embankment in Suzhou and Hangzhou is probably not completed, otherwise where did these stones come from."
Tan Zong was about to analyze further. Zhong Cheng had already escorted the Han family's manager over there. The manager was tough. Although he knew that the person who was holding him was the royal guard and the prince in front of him, the manager had been interrogated for about half an hour, and he didn't say a word, but he was so angry that Zhong Cheng was so angry.
However, Dashun Rules has strict laws and regulations, and non-official officials should not be punished at will. Therefore, in front of the always strict King An, these guards could only interrogate, but did not dare to punish them. Therefore, they only took half an hour but could not ask a word.
"You can take away the others, stay this person." Zhao Yunan gave a casual command, then turned around and asked Tan Zong, "Do you have a way to let him speak?"
Tan Zong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't understand what status he had in Zhao Yunan's eyes. But now that Zhao Yunan had asked, Tan Zong would have to know even if he didn't know, so he could only answer with a calm face: "I can try it, but it's hard to say whether it succeeds or not." After saying this, Tan Zong was a little ashamed. There was no difference between saying this and not saying it. It was completely nonsense or cliché.
Zhao Yunan nodded as if he was unaware of anything, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave if I'm late." After that, he turned around and went out first.
Tan Zong didn't know what Zhao Yunan meant to leave, but when he saw Zhao Yunan wading out of the door, he looked at the man who seemed to be standing tall in front of him with a playful look on his face, and smiled: "Do you dare to ask who this big brother is in the Han family?"
However, the man glared at Tan Zong fiercely and said angrily: "Tan Zong, don't ask me so much. No matter how much you ask, I won't tell you. If you have the ability, you should hand me over to the Nanjing government office. Otherwise, if you dare to torture me, I will dare to sue you to the yamen, for fear that your Yayuan's fame will not be preserved."
"Oh?" Tan Zong was surprised and said curiously: "Do you know me?"
The man spitted at Tan Zong, then turned his head and stopped talking.
"Tsk, it's really tough." Tan Zong glanced at the thick phlegm that was only about half a foot away from his thigh, but he didn't mind, and still smiled like that: "You know I am Yayuan, do you know if I have an identity?"
Tan Zong stopped intentionally at this time, and saw that although the man was still carrying his back, his ears moved uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
In fact, many times, some conditioned reflexes of the human body are uncontrollable, and some states and ideas in the heart can be inferred based on these things. Tan Zong was like this at this time. Naturally, many top figures in a certain industry in later generations were able to control any facial organ of the body at will after receiving extremely strict training. However, in this Dashun Dynasty, there should be no such person. Even if there is one, it is impossible to be the manager of the Han family in front of him.
In fact, Tan Zong had already judged that this person should be in charge of the business. It was actually very simple to speculate. Those who could preside over such matters must be an important figure in the Han family. Otherwise, how could the old fox in the Han family be at ease? In the Han family, except for the old fox and the two sons and one daughter below, there were only some in charge of the business. Tan Zong had no information from the information of the Supervision Office, and it was because he had no contact or was not in the local area.
"You probably have been here for a lot of time, but you don't know that Nanjing City has been busy recently. It's a pity. Just a few days ago, a big event happened in Nanjing City, which is also related to your Han family. As a great manager who is highly valued by Old Han, do you want to know what's going on?" After Tan Zong said that, he focused on seeing the person's performance again.
But this time, Tan Zong was disappointed. From behind, he looked at the manager and didn't even move.
Tan Zong was not discouraged and continued: "The young masters of the Wang family, Chen family, Hua family, and Jiao family have been arrested in prison. The charge was to induce the second master of the Han family, Han Shikun, deputy guard of the Han family, to attack the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now, the four princes are in prison, but the prefect Wang is unable to rescue him. But these have nothing to do with you. You only need to know that the second master of Han has been sentenced to death, and the old master Han is already ill in bed, and his life is not long."
"You're talking nonsense!" This strong man was indeed so strong that he couldn't help but turn around: "The old man has always been tough. He has only been here a few days ago, so why did he suddenly get sick in bed? The prefect Wang has a relationship with him even though the prince outside could not touch the prefect Wang's hair. Humph, don't even think about being able to trick me!"
"Tsk, why don't I say you're stupid?" Tan Zong looked like a child who was unspeakable. He shook his head and shook his hand: "Wang Ren's relationship is still strong, but he can still be as strong as the official family? Besides, the river embankment has not been repaired now, and the rain is so heavy that it is scary. If you do this for another day and a half, I'm afraid the water level will rise. Once the dam breaks, the first thing that will be affected is the prefect Wang. You are a ready-made evidence of guilt. You said, once Wang Ren falls down, what can you do if the old man from your Han family is strong? Can you still protect you as a pawn?"
"You..." The man was choked by Tan Zong's words. For a while, it was "you" for a long time but didn't know how to refute it.
Tan Zong saw that the manager's heart had begun to shake, so he naturally did not give him so much time to think clearly, so he directly struck while the iron was hot and bewitched: "So, if you want to save the decline at this moment, don't say anything else. It's just right to find out all the unbuilt river embankments first, and then send someone to step up the repairs. If it's too late, everything will be difficult to protect. Not to mention your Han family, even the Wang family, and the Chen family, those who rely on you as your backer, will have to suffer together."
When Tan Zong said this, his eyes were always focused on the manager's eyes. Seeing the manager's uneasy look, he knew that his words had worked. He quickly added the last straw that broke the camel's back: "Besides, I just want you to point out these unrepaired river embankments, not asking you to prove who you have any more. If you say it now, rescue it later and avoid floods, you may be able to make a contribution. If the Han family really fails to protect you in the future, you may be able to use this contribution to make peace for the Han family. Jie Shi will also fulfill your reputation for loyalty."
This manager was obviously moved by Tan Zong, but for a moment, he seemed a little undecided. His face seemed to be in the light of the oil lamp, and finally he asked with a strange look: "According to what you said, you seem to be helping our Han family?"
Seeing the man's face full of suspicion, Tan Zong seemed to be suspicious of his original intention, and he didn't know what excuses to make for a moment. At this moment, Zhao Yunan suddenly came in from outside the door and said, "He has the same name as Fanhua in Dreams, how can he see that the lady of your Han family suffers in the future? Of course, if you can help, you have to help."
