Chapter 866 The Missing Lord Wang

Nanny Wan and Chunhe were servants now, so they naturally couldn't go with them. They stayed beside the carriage, waiting to pack up.

It took almost half an hour to get everything ready.

Song Qingci stood in front of the window of the room on the third floor and looked out.

The surrounding landscape is breathtaking.

"From what I can see, Boyang City is well governed. Chu Huaian doesn't look like a complete idiot."

Shan Li didn't object. "This is East City, which is considered a better place in Boyang City. The environment is naturally good. If you can't bear to look at this place, then what about other places?"

"According to the information given by His Majesty, the last place Lord Wang appeared was Boyang City. He disappeared after that." Song Qingci took out the information given by Li Jianguo from the space and read it again carefully.

Lord Wang was ordered to come to Jiangnan to investigate a flood control case, but he disappeared inexplicably.

You can’t see people alive, and you can’t see corpses even if you are dead.

Floods in the south of the Yangtze River have been a long-standing problem. The imperial court has allocated funds for flood control every year, but floods still occur almost every year.

Either the dam broke here, or the water supply was cut off there, or the flood washed away the bridge over the river.

Anyway, there are always accidents in different places every year along the canal, which is thousands of miles long.

Previous emperors might have thought this was normal.

After all, how can human power compete with the laws of nature? How can things like the rise and fall of water be controlled by human power?

But the current Emperor Chengtian is not an ignorant person.

If you put the data and memorials from past years together, you can see problems even with your toes.

That's why Song Qingci appears here.

"I'll ask Nanny Wan later to see what she knows."

As the former wife of a county magistrate, Song Qingci didn't believe that she knew nothing about Boyang County.

If she was really an ignorant fool who knew nothing, why would Chu Huaian go to such great lengths to find her?

There was a knock at the door, and then Chun He's voice rang out from outside, "Young Madam, Young Master, it's almost time to go downstairs for dinner."

After several months of practice, Chu Ling'er now feels no sense of incongruity when playing the maid Chunhe.

Song Qingci was very satisfied with this.

She and Shan Li walked out of the room one after another and went downstairs.

Nanny Wan and Feng Er were already standing beside the table.

"These are the special delicacies of Boyang City. I hope the young lady and the eldest young master can get used to them."

Today's meal was arranged by Nanny Wan.

"This is squirrel mandarin fish, this is shredded eel, this is secret ham, and this is water shield soup."

These are all famous dishes from the south of the Yangtze River. Song Qingci had eaten state banquet-level dishes in his previous life.

This is the first time I’ve eaten it in my life.

I have lived in the north before, and northern food is delicious, but it doesn’t seem as exquisite as the food in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Well, it looks good. You guys can go down and eat. I don't need you to wait on me here for the time being."

Since he plays the role of a wealthy businessman who wants to do business in Jiangnan, he naturally cannot eat at the same table with his servants.

However, in order to show off their wealth, Feng Er and the other two opened another table next door.

Although the dishes are not as exquisite as those served by Song Qingci and his team, they are still pretty good.

This Donglai Inn is indeed the best in Boyang.

At least the chef is very good.

Song Qingci felt that compared to the state banquet chef in his previous life, he was not much worse.

I was just halfway through my meal when I was interrupted by a few uninvited guests.

Shan Li's face darkened visibly...
