Yun Yi shook his head. “Master, don’t worry. Miss Ning is very smart. Not only did she not expose her identity from the beginning to the end, but she also shook off the pursuers and returned home safely.”
Rong Yan glared at him. “I’m not worried about her!”
However, he stopped after taking a few steps. “Ying Zi, stay behind to protect Ning Xiaoxiao and help her deal with her annoying tail.”
Before getting a response, he emphasized, “That’s an order.”
After a long while, a deliberately changed voice came from somewhere. “Yes.”

It was difficult to walk on the mountain path, but when they reached a deserted place, the few of them picked up their luggage and began to use their Qinggong skills. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
Not long after, a carriage appeared on the official road from Xijiang County to Luo Prefecture…
A few days later, a few black shadows infiltrated the heavily guarded dam in Luo Prefecture. These people nimbly bypassed all the guards and went straight to the reservoir. It was late at night and the moon was dark. They did not alarm anyone and only seized some yellow soil and mud from the empty field.
After returning to their residence, everyone could see these things clearly under the moonlight. They heard Rong Yan say coldly, “They still want to use these things to bluff now?”
It was not convenient for them to spy during the day, so they could only act at night.
Yun Yi had practiced night vision, Yun San was good at swimming, and Yun Wu was extremely good at hiding. The few of them cooperated well and hid in the reservoir for a day and a night. They realized that there were indeed cracks in the dam, but Prefect Yan only repaired it to the minimum. Then, he covered the surface with yellow mud.
He probably only planned to make do on the surface until he was safely transferred away, right?
Even at a time like this, he still couldn’t bear to take out the money that he had coveted! What a Prefect Yan! In his eyes, what was human life?
Luo Prefecture’s Prefect Yan’s term of office was about to expire. It was said that he was about to be transferred to Wanxiang Prefecture to be the governor. Of course, he did not want any accidents to happen at this juncture, so he hid it tightly inside and outside. The vicinity of the dam was strictly guarded and the news was not to be leaked.
Yun San had just changed his clothes and returned. There was still water dripping from his head. “Because the water in the reservoir overflowed from the crack, the crack did not expand. Prefect Yan thought that the greatest impact was the rise of the water downstream and did not pay attention to it.”
Rong Yan’s expression was very ugly. “Is he treating the lives of tens of thousands of people along the river as a joke?”
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. He took a deep breath. “Yun Yi, Yun Er.”
The two of them bowed. “I’m here!”

The two of them bowed heavily. “I’ll definitely not let you down!”
Rong Yan paced back and forth in the room again and gritted his teeth. “Let’s suppress the news of the dam being in disrepair for the time being. Otherwise, it will be even harder to deal with the situation when the people are in chaos.”
The Prefect of Luo Prefecture deserved to die, but the most important thing now was not to punish him, but to save the innocent people who might lose their lives.
The matter of the dam was already clear. Now, they still lacked evidence that Prefect Yan had deliberately hidden the collusion between officials.
Rong Yan said decisively, “Go back and get in touch with Shen Congjun.”
Rong Yan clenched his fists. This was the first time he felt that he couldn’t do anything without power.

After her neighbor left, Xiaoxiao would cast her gaze towards the distant Dayan Mountain in her free time. She thought: Little Big Brother, who had finally gained some weight, better not lose weight again when he comes back. She didn’t know if the sponge cake she brought for them was enough.
Ning Fengnian had made the bamboo basket she wanted. She could put it in when the sponge cake for Shen Tianci was ready. When the house was filled with the fragrance of food, Xiaoxiao felt that this was the taste of happiness..
