The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 167 Money
Everyone was silent, only the sound of Mrs. Shen gnashing her teeth hysterically.

An Xu sneered and said, "Your so-called golden mountains and silver seas, I'm afraid that [-]% of them are people's fat and people's anointing, but now they have become your proud capital."

"What are you, you need to teach me here?" Mrs. Shen looked at An Xu bitterly, "If you want to show your kindness, I will let these people die immediately. I am rich and can work hard .”

She looked at the man in the boat and ordered, "As long as you jump off the boat, my wife will give your family 100 taels of gold."

The man was surprised at first, but then seeing that she didn't look like she was joking, he hesitated.

Those who can come to the city at this time and want to get some benefits are all asking for money or life.

But such people generally value themselves more.

People are dead, no amount of money is useless.

The man finally shook his head.

Mrs. Shen was furious and was still looking for someone, but was interrupted by Shen Bing's stern "Enough".

Shen Bing ordered the guards to look for a boat at the pier outside the city, and sat down to rest in the cabin.

When the guard saw some people holding cans, they asked for them.

An Xu and Zong Che still had two jars of canned fruit, but the guards didn't dare to mention it.

The same is true for the Dai family.

An Xu looked at the people who dared not say a word after being asked to take away the cans, and couldn't help being a little amused: It's really the jungle.

Shen Bing was more concerned about the official voice, and when he took the can, he said: "Remember these people, when the water recedes, whoever gives the can will give one tael of silver."

Silver again.

It seems that in these people's minds, as long as they pay money, they can take and possess other people's things as a matter of course.

This kind of thing that can be claimed includes life.

Even if the requesting party paid the money, the spectators would say that the person who was asked for something was lucky.

After all, for a jar of canned food, the most expensive one is more than 800 Wen.

An Xu lowered his head and stopped looking at these people.

If Zong Che was not an official, they were just passers-by, and they were also the ones to be slaughtered by the government when they encountered this kind of thing.

A little thirsty, unable to touch the canned fruit for the time being, An Xu stuffed a plum in his mouth, and then gave one to each of Yan Diu's brothers. Thinking of Zong Che, he stuffed another one into his mouth.

Zong Che was taken aback for a moment, and then a stream of sweet water kept gushing out of his heart.

Shen Bing ate something and regained some strength before sitting on the bow of the boat and asked Zong Che, "Master Zong, did you send someone to take a look at the barracks outside?"

Zong Che shook his head: "Not yet."

Shen Bing looked at the flooded and devastated Jiping City, feeling as if a boulder had been crushed in his heart.

When will the water recede?When will government offices resume normal operations?
Most importantly, how did this flood happen?
There was no heavy rain from the sky, nor did the river surge. Such a large flood hit overnight, and nearly [-] people in the city did not survive. How could he write this note to the court?

Shen Bing sighed deeply, as if she had aged ten years in an instant.

Mrs. Shen was still crying, and the only maid who survived with her was feeding her canned food, but she got angry and knocked her down again.

Shen Bing was upset, and shouted: "Can you be quiet?"

Mrs. Shen has always been obedient, but at this moment she yelled back: "No, my son and daughter are dead, it's all because these troublemakers didn't come to rescue them in time, if you don't punish them, we will never end."

Dai Ji couldn't listen anymore, and said, "Mrs. Shen, although Qianshou is humble, he can't be killed just by saying it."

Shen Bing hurriedly said: "She's just too sad, so don't take Master Dai seriously when she says angry words."

"You can tell if you're angry or not." Dai Lun pouted.

Shen Bing was embarrassed for a while.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

Zhang Wu and Li San came with a happy voice, "The gate of the diversion port is indeed open, and we have closed it according to the command of the adults."

Rowing the relatively large passenger boat that had been recruited to the front, Zhang Wu hurriedly said: "My lord, madam, please get on board."

The boat was not small, so An Xu and Zong Che all came on board, and called Brother Dai Ji to come up.

As for their relatively stable door panels, let those who don't have good float support go up.

Only then did Zhang Wu report back: "We looked at the southward embankment of the Qingmo River in the north, and as you expected, a big hole was blown there."

Li San added: "The opening is the fox temple built by Jiping Mansion three years ago. Not far from the opening, there is an observation platform."

Zong Che nodded.

Dai Ji was shocked: "Is it really artificial?"

"Master Shen, I wonder if you have your river defense map with you, or did your river control supervisor escape with his life?" Zong Che asked Shen Bing who was on a small boat two away.

Shen Bing asked: "Lord Zong, what are you doubting?"

"Fox, break the embankment," Zong Che said, "Did Mr. Shen not think of anything about these two things?"

Shen Bing's face suddenly twisted.

"Jiao Xun," a middle-aged man rushed out of another small boat, knelt down on the bow of the boat, and cried loudly, "Master Zhifu, it must be Jiao Xun."

Jiao Xun?

Jiao Yi.

Is there such a coincidence in the world?In an instant, not only Shen Bing's face was pale, but the faces of other officials were also pale.

The middle-aged man cried: "At the beginning, Jiao Yiting and I were able to talk about it. After the river sacrifice, the Jiao family disappeared. I, I knew that Jiao Yi was wronged. I felt guilty, so I sent my family to inquire about his family. People. Later, the old butler of the Jiao family found me and said that his young master wanted to find something to do."

At this point, the man couldn't go on talking anymore, thinking of his drowned wife and children, he broke down and cried.

"If I had known earlier, I would have known that Jiao Xun was so ruthless, my subordinates, my subordinates would not have assigned him to the river."

Zong Che was a little impatient, and waited until the man finally stopped blaming himself, before asking, "Are you an official on the river?"

"Yes," the middle-aged man replied.

"Did Jiao Xun participate in the construction of the embankment?" Zong Che asked.

The face of the middle-aged man was even paler. He not only participated in it, but later became a steward who was valued by the governor.

Even more than half of the current embankments were built according to his opinion.

Master Si Xu, the governor of the river, died, but several officials on the river escaped with their lives. They all asked, "Old Du, who is Jiao Xun? Is there anyone with the surname Jiao on our river?"

Old Du wiped his face, choked up and said: "He said that in order to prevent others from hearing Jiao's surname and not using him, he changed his surname to Jiu."

Nine people?
Zong Che almost laughed when he heard this.

A group of idiots, Jiao Xun's goal is so clearly told to them, no one has doubts?
What Jiuyi is, is revenge, and he is here to avenge.

Several officials on the river channel now think that they can know what it means without asking, but at that time, no one has contacted revenge.

At most, I am curious, is there a surname called Jiu?

Jiao Xun explained at the beginning that he was ranked ninth at home, and was kicked out by his family because he was not doing his job properly, so he called himself Jiuyi.

It also means just one person.

Old Du knew that he was a son of the Jiao family, but he had doubts about it. However, he had been observing for more than a year, and saw that the child was talking, laughing and fighting as usual when getting along with others, and he was also very attentive to the affairs of the river.

Then slowly let go of doubts.

How could he know that he was planning such a big disaster for Jiping Mansion.

"Master, hurry up and write the arrest warrant," Mrs. Shen went crazy again, "Catch him and cut him into pieces."

Shen Bing rubbed his forehead, "He has done such a big thing, do you think he will wait to catch him? I don't know where he went."

Looking for one person in a sea of ​​people is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"I don't care, you must bring him back." Mrs. Shen was still yelling.

At this time, there was no backflow of the Huitong River, and the water level in the city dropped significantly. Shen Bing ordered the boatman, "Go to Beicheng."

There are so many things going on, let's get rid of the corpses of the sons and daughters first.

An Xu reminded: "Master Shen, for the corpses in this city, it is best to gather the unaffected people outside the city and bury them as soon as possible. The weather is still hot, so this is the first thing to do in order to avoid the plague."

Shen Bing thanked her, and ordered to go back to Beicheng first.

Since the person in charge of Jiping City is still alive, Zong Che can't do it for him, and his family has reminded him that whether Shen Bing can do it or not is his business.

"Let's go back to Jiangchuan Inn to see if there are any things that haven't been washed away," Zong Che said.

When Dai Ji heard this, he felt that it was a bit silly for him to wait for the gold to rush out when the flood was fierce.It's the same when it's all right, and it's not the same when I go back to look for it.

Otherwise, the guards of his family would be the same as those of the Zong family, none of them would be injured.

In Huoliangfu City, the Governor's Military Mansion, someone hurriedly came from the outside, and arrived at the study without hindrance.

"Why are you in such a hurry, sir?" The man in armor put down the pen in his hand and raised his head to ask.

With excitement on his face, the Army Division said, "Second Highness, God is helping you. There was a flood in the Jiping Mansion last night. What's more, the general who came to replace you, Zong Che, happened to be at night last night. Stay in Jiping Mansion."

The second prince said: "Sir, I still don't want my palace to go back? Not to mention why the Jiping mansion suddenly flooded, but the person who can be sent by my father to replace me should not die so easily."

He wanted to go back, he wanted to take over the supreme position in the world properly.

The Lu Lu division earnestly said, "Your Highness, the success or failure of this return is unpredictable. Several reports in the capital say that Zongche is not a simple person."

"No matter how powerful a person is, it will take time to take over the northern army again." The second prince is very confident, "How can he break my business for so many years?"

But his father, can he live another two years?

Lu Jun said: "There is a smooth road, why does Your Highness take the risky one?"

The second prince said in a few simple words: "I don't want to leave a reputation in the history books for killing my father and seizing the throne."

The army division had nothing to say.

The second prince said: "Send hundreds of people to Jiping Mansion to meet Master Zong and his party."

If it is possible, can the old man die of anger if he subdues this person?

The Army Division thought for a while and said, "This subordinate will ask someone to do it."

The carriage brought by the guards from the post station was washed away by the flood immediately last night. The entire government system of Jiping Mansion was paralyzed, and there was no carriage for them for a while.

The group had no choice but to take a boat out of the city first, cross the Qingmo River where the water level had dropped by more than half, and started walking.
