Chapter 1186: Furious
Then the origin of the dam was very suspicious.
The housekeeper suddenly remembered that it was the manager who suggested that the canal should be repaired. So he went up and asked for instructions. Could it be…
The housekeeper asked the managers what was going on, but they had no idea what was going on. They only said that it was mentioned when they were chatting. They felt that it made sense, so they reported it to the housekeeper. But they could not remember who said that.
Shao Yunduan speculated with a cold face – someone avoided the eyes and ears of the Crown Prince’s Imperial Plantation, stopped the construction of the dam in the mountains that were not usually noticed, and then set up the managers to mention the repair of the canal. This was for the next year’s plowing, and the East Palace had no reason to turn that down.
When the canal was repaired, the dam suddenly collapsed and caused a flood, destroying the villages and passing by the canal built by the Crown Prince’s Imperial Plantation. By that time, it might even be rumored that the Crown Prince’s Imperial Plantation caused a flood in order to draw the water to repair the canal…
It would be the Crown Prince’s fault that dozens of farmers were killed.
Dozens of households would cost hundreds of lives!
It was not a small thing to cause trouble because of the canal repair.
Also, when the abbey was on fire and the heavens warned the Crown Prince about his immoral behavior, the Fourth Prince and the other two princes all added fuel to the fire.
How was the Crown Prince going to defend himself?
Why did something happen to the canal at the Imperial Plantation? It was not right to say that the two things had nothing to do with each other.
The Crown Prince was so immoral!
More importantly, the dam could be built without being noticed by the Crown Prince’s Imperial Plantation, which meant that the abbot was not a simple person. Shao Yunduan did not mention who it might be.
That was the plan for the Crown Prince from Fourth Prince.
But for Shao Yunduan’s accidental observation, the housekeeper would not have thought about this.
Shao Yunduan decided not to inspect the warehouse. Instead, he returned to the capital and reported everything to the Crown Prince.
Crown Prince’s face sank. He knew better than anyone else that groundless and trumped-up accusations would only make things worse.
The dam collapsed because of the canal repair, which sounded very logical and reasonable. If someone added fuel to the fire, everyone would believe that.
No one would go to the site to investigate, and no one would believe that the repair of the canal and the collapse of the dam had nothing to do with each other. And Crown Prince had no way to prove that the two things were not related.
So many lives had been lost, and someone needed to come forward and confess. Since someone like him was pushed out, no one would hold back.
Even if she did not want to add fuel to the fire, she was going to stay neutral.
He was in a mess right now, and that would make things worse.
His brother was so cruel!
“We can’t reveal this to the public. I am afraid that there are already people watching the dam and my imperial abbey. Officer Shao, I will leave this to you. You have to deal with it secretly, so the dam doesn’t collapse.”
That was not an easy thing to do, and the most important thing was to keep it a secret. After all, there must be someone guarding the dam at this time. If Shao Yunduan wanted to solve the problem, he needed to be very motivated. One mistake and the dam would be destroyed, and everything would be ruined.
