Chapter 453 Self-inflicted evil
Gu Qingyuan then led his men over and saw the Sixth Princess who had been trapped at the bottom of the cave for a whole day.
She was in a very miserable state now. Not only were her clothes torn, but they were also dirty.
Although the bleeding from the snake bites had stopped, the wounds were still shocking to see.
She jumped out of the trap and carried the Sixth Princess on her back. The rain was getting heavier. The Sixth Princess lay on her back and asked, "Why did it suddenly rain today?"
She hasn't started the fire yet.
Hearing the Sixth Princess ask this, the others quickly replied with some joy: "This is all thanks to Young Master Gu. If she hadn't dreamt of the Dragon King yesterday and prayed for rain on the cliff today, I'm afraid Jiangcheng would have continued to suffer from drought!"
The Sixth Princess now understood that Gu Qingyuan did it on purpose!
She deliberately left herself here today, and managed to make it rain in Jiangcheng. Now, she was trapped here in a mess for the whole day, but she won the admiration of everyone!
The Sixth Princess was furious and wanted to skin Gu Qingyuan alive.
Even after they returned to the residence arranged for them by the Jiangcheng County Magistrate, the people were still kneeling outside, saying they wanted to thank Gu Qingyuan.
The Sixth Princess snorted coldly and limped into the house.
Seeing this, Cuizhu hurriedly followed her in.
The rain lasted for a full half month.
The people had already used all the water-holding containers in their homes to collect rainwater, and even the bowls were filled to the brim.
The water level in the river has risen a lot.
Gu Qingyuan was even exaggeratedly worshipped as a "goddess" by the people because it was because of her that it rained in Jiangcheng, which had not rained for a year.
The Sixth Princess was so angry that her face turned green.
Originally, Gu Qingyuan was asked to come here to attack her, but he never expected that Gu Qingyuan would steal the limelight.
Moreover, with these people following Gu Qingyuan all the time, she wouldn't have the chance to attack Gu Qingyuan again even if she wanted to. Damn it!
Cuizhu brought the medicine for the change and asked carefully, "Your Highness, how are you feeling now? Is your wound better?"
Even the medicine she took for the snake bite was prescribed by Gu Qingyuan.
Those snakes had long been killed and burned.
But even so, the Sixth Princess still felt unsatisfied.
When Cuizhu applied the medicine to her, she hissed and said impatiently, "Can't you be gentler?"
After saying that, she stretched out her foot and kicked Cuizhu to the ground.
Cuizhu didn't dare to complain, and got up from the ground and continued to apply medicine to her.
Suddenly, the Sixth Princess thought of something and asked Cuizhu, "What is Gu Qingyuan doing now?"
Cuizhu answered more carefully, "She has been investigating with the Jiangcheng County Magistrate recently."
"Investigating what?"
The Sixth Princess frowned. How come she didn't know anything?
"It seems to be talking about the cannibalism incident in Jiangcheng and the sacrifice of young boys and girls to the river god."
The Sixth Princess jumped off the bed and said, "Cuizhu, come with me and take a look."
We can't let all the credit be given to Gu Qingyuan.
After the rain, Jiangcheng looked much better than when they had just arrived.
In addition, Gu Qingyuan was discussing the development of water conservancy with the county magistrate of Jiangcheng.
But this matter is of great importance and requires a lot of money. Jiangcheng, which has just experienced a drought, is willing but unable to do it.
The Jiangcheng County Magistrate said in embarrassment: "Young Master Gu, I understand what you said, but if we follow your advice and build the canal, it will require a lot of financial and human resources..."
Gu Qingyuan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, there is another way."
"Oh? Young Master Gu, please speak quickly."
"Based on this drought, we can build a place to store water so that when the drought comes, we can release the water for irrigation."
The eyes of the Jiangcheng County Magistrate lit up, "Okay! Then we'll do as you say."
For a period of time afterwards, Gu Qingyuan did not stay with the Sixth Princess, but started to build water conservancy projects with the magistrate of Jiangcheng County.
When the Sixth Princess arrived, she saw that everyone had already started to get busy.
She walked over and said unhappily, "Why didn't you inform me? Don't you take me seriously?"
It's ridiculous that these people dared to treat her like this!
Gu Qingyuan stopped what he was doing and said, "Because Her Royal Highness is injured, I wanted her to recover well."
"This lady has been fine for a long time."
Cuizhu stood aside, not daring to say anything more.
She had been with the Sixth Princess for so long. Originally, the Sixth Princess had a very approachable personality, but after she was named the Crown Princess by His Majesty, her temper became more and more irritable.
Moreover, Young Master Gu clearly didn't do anything, but the Sixth Princess deliberately targeted her.
Suddenly, someone called Gu Qingyuan away. Gu Qingyuan said "Excuse me" and followed the person away.
The Sixth Princess stood there, her teeth itching with rage.
A few days later, Gu Qingyuan took people to fill the trap.
She knew it was a trap set by the Sixth Princess, but the next day she said, "I don't know who set such a big trap that caused Her Highness the Princess to fall into it. We'd better fill it up as soon as possible."
A lot of soil was brought from the riverside to fill the trap. After filling it, Gu Qingyuan personally stood on it and stepped on it.
After confirming that it was completely filled, Gu Qingyuan took his men back.
The women who had gathered at the village chief's house before stayed at home and didn't dare to go out.
It was they who came up with the idea of sacrificing young boys and girls, so naturally those people fell into their laps.
Children have delicate skin and tender flesh.
But judging from Zhao's current situation, they will be found out sooner or later.
"Why don't we hide first?"
Someone suggested.
Several others nodded in agreement.
But at night, when several people packed their luggage and prepared to leave Jiangcheng, Zhaomei and Panmei, who were sent by Gu Qingyuan to keep an eye on them, discovered them in time and brought them back.
In the darkness of the night, Gu Qingyuan looked at the women and sneered, "It's because of those bad ideas you came up with that countless children have died."
They stubbornly said, "It has nothing to do with us..."
The sword in Gu Qingyuan's hand glowed coldly, and then, before they could react, he personally dealt with them.
"Heh, it would be a bargain for you to just let you die."
After the women died, Gu Qingyuan kicked their bodies and ordered people to throw them into the river.
They brought this upon themselves.
......
Beijing.
The Queen received a letter from Jiangcheng.
The letter mentioned that the Sixth Princess and Gu Qingyuan worked together to help the people solve the problem of drought, and with Gu Qingyuan's presence, it rained in Jiangcheng.
She took the letter and said with relief: "Sure enough, I was not wrong."
The letter also mentioned that Jiangcheng needed to develop water conservancy projects, but it would require a lot of money.
The Queen waved her hand, allocated money from the national treasury, and sent people to help.
