Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 637 - 636: Haven’t you seen what time it is now?!

Chapter 637: Chapter 636: Haven’t you seen what time it is now?!

"Do you have a question?" Feng Yexuan raised an eyebrow.

Tanxu Town and Qingwu Town were separated by a vast distance of 100,000 miles, utterly unconnected cities, one afflicted by flooding and the other by drought, not contradictory at all.

"Prince, I’ve looked at the map of Beiming Country before, and there are two major rivers from Tanxu Town to Qingwu Town," said Xiaoyao.

She flipped through her things but couldn’t find the map.

It was Feng Yexuan who casually took out the geographical map of Beiming and spread it out on the table.

Xiaoyao immediately found the two rivers between the two cities.

"Prince, under normal circumstances, these two great rivers have nothing to do with each other. However, if one river’s water level becomes excessively high, it will knock down the city walls and flood into the other river."

"I am not very familiar with the history of Beiming, but according to my guess, if Tanxu Town really suffered from the water disaster for over a month, that means the accumulated water volume must be quite substantial."

"During such a long period, Tanxu Town would not be able to contain such a large volume of water, and a significant portion would inevitably flow downstream."

"And this downstream part is another inconspicuous small town. Once the water overflows this small town, given this terrain, the city walls of Qingwu Town will definitely not hold."

"Therefore, if Tanxu Town has really been experiencing flood for over a month, judging by the duration of the water levels, it’s impossible for Qingwu Town to be suffering from drought and needing water irrigation at this time."

"Prince, the Magistrates of Tanxu Town and Qingwu Town, one of them is lying."

"Someone come!" Feng Yexuan called out.

Leng Ji hurriedly entered the room, "Prince!"

He cast a glance at Xiaoyao who stood beside the Prince, said nothing more, and immediately bowed his head.

He did not know what the two were doing, but it seemed like they were working?

Feng Yexuan spoke in a deep voice, "Send someone to personally visit Tanxu Town and Qingwu Town immediately, and see what the actual situation is."

"Prince, both cities are very far from the Imperial City, the round trip takes a very long time," Leng Ji said.

Leng Ji did not understand why the Prince suddenly wanted to handle this matter with such caution.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Prince, although both cities suffer from constant disasters, the requested funding is not substantial, and you’ve always approved it with a flick of the wrist. Why now..."

"It’s precisely because the amounts are small that both Magistrates believe I wouldn’t care, and that I’d approve every request. That’s why they’ve become increasingly bold!"

When there’s a Magistrate who lies and deceives, there are definitely citizens suffering.

"This time, we need to thoroughly investigate who’s deceiving their superiors and misleading their subordinates. Such a person does not deserve to be an official. Bring them to me for interrogation immediately!"

"Yes!" Leng Ji understood, the Prince wasn’t concerned about the small amount of silver, but rather, it was about making an example of someone.

"I will command someone to investigate right away!"

After Leng Ji left, Feng Yexuan pushed the stack of official documents beside him towards Xiaoyao, "Take a good look!"

Then, he surprisingly stood up from his chair, went over to the side table, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to savor it slowly.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyao, neatly arranged by him, sat in his former seat, taking his place to review the official documents.

Xiaoyao immediately protested, "Prince..."

"Finish reviewing the documents or be stripped and thrown out—choose one," said Feng Yexuan, leaning back in his chair, sipping his tea casually. His gaze, although not particularly chilling, left no room for doubt.

Xiaoyao felt like crying without tears!

What’s this about the capable taking on more work? Isn’t this too much?

"I’m just a maid..."

"If you want to be a civil servant, that’s fine too. Finish the documents, and I will consider it," he said.

Xiaoyao glared at him!

Who would fancy being a civil servant!

She just wanted to go back to sleep, for goodness’ sake!

And not to mention, look at the time now!
