The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 985
Xia Qing originally wanted to sneer, but in the blink of an eye, he found that His Highness the Crown Prince had already stood on the steps not far from them at some point.

"Indeed! It's getting late, it's going to be morning soon. Ping Yun, let's go!"

Xia Qing ignored Gu Chengyu and walked forward first.Min Feng saluted and followed his teacher.

Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, but didn't take it seriously.

Seeing that the people who had watched the theater had almost left, the prince simply walked up to Gu Chengyu and walked side by side with him.

After Gu Chengyu saluted, the two walked out of the palace hand in hand.

"Don't you feel angry?" After a while, the prince suddenly asked.

"Why are you angry? Isn't that punishing yourself with other people's mistakes?" Gu Chengyu chuckled lightly, then said indifferently.

The prince laughed, "That's interesting, it's Mr. Gu who has such a free and easy mood!"

In fact, the crown prince admired Gu Chengyu's frank attitude just now.Min Feng is far behind Gu Chengyu!
"If someone picks a peach, you can deal with it calmly."

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "Picking peaches? That's not necessarily true, is it?"

Gu Chengyu didn't think that without the Jiangnan flood incident, he would not be able to be promoted to an official, not to mention that the Jiangnan flood incident was not over yet!
He has been quiet for two years, and it's time to act on a high profile.Otherwise, everyone in the court will probably forget him!
"Lord Gu is very confident!" The prince said with emotion, and then parted ways with Gu Chengyu at the gate of the palace.

Watching Gu Chengyu's carriage leave, the prince remained silent.Gu Chengyu is a person who doesn't take hard things!
It's so good that we are not far or close, but feel like a confidant!Just maintain the status quo!

"My lord! There is news from Hangtian Mansion that there is a lot of water seepage in their embankment. Lord Yang, the prefect of Hangtian Mansion, has summoned the people to reinforce the embankment."

When Chen Zhao got the news, he quickly reported it to Qian Huichun.

Qian Huichun frowned, "But you want to ask for reinforcements? Our Changtian Mansion was severely affected by the disaster and needs reinforcements more than them. The people here can no longer be withdrawn."

Before Changtian Mansion broke the embankment, Qian Huichun had asked for help from various prefectures, so Hangtian Mansion had many people in Changtian Mansion for reinforcements.

When the news came from over there, of course we don't expect the already affected Changtian Mansion to send additional reinforcements, but we must return the original reinforcements to the other party, right?

But obviously Qian Huichun didn't plan that way, he needs these people now, how can he return them?

"Ignore it, we are the worst hit here, we can't let people go!"

But Chen Zhao hesitated, "My lord! We have already had a dangerous situation here, and we really need people. But the situation in Hangtian Mansion is not serious. If they also burst the embankment, will the higher-ups blame them?"

Qian Huichun snorted coldly, "We are all too busy to take care of ourselves. Where can we get reinforcements? If you want to blame him, you can also blame Yang Chaoying. What does it have to do with me?"

Seeing this, Chen Zhao stopped persuading him.Anyway, as long as the imperial court sends officials down, they will not be able to escape, and this matter is not considered a crime.

At this time, everything he and his lord did was to make up for the previous mistakes, in order to atone for the crime!

"The official asked you to evacuate the people in several nearby villages. How is the matter going?"

Qian Huichun put his mind on the flood. He had sent a letter to the capital yesterday.

As for the matter of backing, he is also planning. After waiting for two more days, he does not know when there will be a response.

"Return to your lord! It's already halfway through, and the humble official must hurry up and transfer all the people out."

Chen Zhao watched as two guards fished out a body soaked in water. Because it had been soaked in water for several days, the body was swollen and festered in some places.

Because it was summer at this time, it was not easy to preserve the corpse, and it also emitted a foul smell.

Chen Zhao felt a little sad, because this is still a baby, about four or five years old, and he can no longer see his facial features clearly.

He left the place as if fleeing, and led his people to inspect the victims.

Although the people have been placed on a safe high ground, with so many people, they have to make arrangements for eating, drinking and scatter.Otherwise, this weather can suffocate people to death.

Especially after so many people have died, the corpse gas spreads and the epidemic is more likely to occur!
In fact, Chen Zhao was very worried. His lord had already reported the number of victims yesterday.

The actual number of people was less than half, only 300 people.

So crazy, how could it not make him flustered?Nearly 800 people died!

Can you guarantee that the court will not find out?If the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court find out that they have lied about the number of people, will they be more guilty?
Just as Chen Zhao was thinking wildly, suddenly, he heard a hoarse cry from behind him.

"It's bad! The river embankment has collapsed again."

Chen Zhao was startled when he heard the words, he turned his head to look, and found that the yamen servant who was shouting just now had disappeared.

The rushing river was turbulent and overwhelming.The river embankment quickly collapsed and fell into the vast river.

The situation was critical at the moment, but Chen Zhao's mind was suddenly extremely clear.

"My lord, it's not good! Go, the flood is coming!"

He climbed onto the nearest horse, whipped his whip, and the horse galloped forward like an arrow leaving the string.

Qian Huichun was so frightened that she ran away in panic, and even had no time to pick up the black gauze hat that fell on the ground, so she hurried towards Chen Zhao.

Before Chen Zhao had time to think about it, he grabbed Qian Huichun and threw it on the back of the horse, and then galloped forward.

"My lord! It's not good, the Changtian Mansion has burst its embankment again!"

A guard stepped in the mud under the torrential rain and shouted at Yang Chaoying, the prefect of Hangtian Prefecture, who was supervising the work ahead.

Yang Chaoying was not surprised when he heard the words. After all, as long as there is a breach in the river embankment, if it is not filled immediately, another breach will inevitably occur.

However, he had heard news from the person he sent before.Qian Huichun is ordering people to move the people to high ground, so he still turns a deaf ear to the water seepage of the Hangtianfu River embankment.

Yang Chaoying was very dissatisfied that the men who had been sent out for reinforcements did not come back.

It's been two days, the people in the lower reaches of Changtian Mansion should have moved, right?Even if the embankment broke again, at most it would be a loss of some property!

And they, Hangtianfu, had to hurry up and reinforce the river embankment, otherwise Hangtianfu would follow in the footsteps.

This damn day, it's raining again, and he is extremely anxious, how can he manage the affairs of other state capitals?
Why is this river embankment so fragile? When the imperial court sends people to inspect it, he will definitely have to read a book about it for all relevant officials.

Why did such a project pass?Isn't this obviously a reckless disregard for human life?

Thinking of this, Yang Chaoying waved his hands, ready to continue commanding these strong men to move that boulder up.
