Chapter 71 Disaster Relief: The Cowardly Magistrate

The official who went to Lizhou for disaster relief was Deng Yu, the director of the Cangbu Department, who took the relief supplies to Lan County, Lizhou, which was the worst hit.

The rain on the road has never stopped, which made the road extremely muddy, and the speed of the convoy was much slower, which meant that the disaster situation was even worse.

Sitting in the carriage, Mu Shiyu studied the quantity of supplies and the reported situation of the victims.

Looking up at Elder Jiu who was resting on the cushion, she still couldn't believe that He Lianchuan asked Elder Jiu to protect her.

The person who can defeat Elder Jiu in the northern kingdom probably hasn't been born yet.

Sensing her gaze, Elder Jiu opened his eyes and said expressionlessly:

"Don't think too much, I won't make a move unless your life is endangered. Also, your swordsmanship is unbearable, I will give you some pointers during this time."

Just can't stand it.

"...Thank you, Elder Jiu."

Mu Shiyu's qinggong is not bad, but his swordsmanship is indeed not good, otherwise how could he be so embarrassed when facing the gray-robed old man in Luming Temple.

With Elder Jiu's guidance, his swordsmanship will definitely improve a lot.

Elder Jiu thought for a while, and considering that Mu Qiyin only knew about fighting and didn't care about Jianghu and Taoism, he said again:

"What do you know about Taoist martial arts?"

"Uh... I only know the Qingfeng Jue that I'm currently practicing." Mu Shiyu was a little nervous. He didn't feel this way when he took the exam at Shengjing Academy.

Elder Jiu didn't expect that Mu Shiyu didn't understand anything, so he shook his head and said slowly:

"Taoism and martial arts have really declined. A hundred years ago, there was a division of realms, which are divided into entry, refinement, sinking, hope, and broken mirror. You are still in the process of refining the mirror, and there is still time to modify the exercises."

"Thank you, Elder Jiu, for your guidance."

Mu Shiyu cherished this opportunity, and firmly remembered the formulas of exercises that Elder Jiu said.

When the team stopped to rest, Deng Yu, who was already very old, came to Mu Shiyu's compartment and pointed out the map to Mu Shiyu.

"There is an intersection ahead. The road to He County is on the left, which is flat and unobstructed. The road to Lan County is on the right, but it is blocked by mudslides. It will take some time to clear it. I think it will go to He County first, and then go to Lan County by water. "

Mu Shiyu took a closer look at the map, and found that He County is very close to Suzhou, and immediately said:

"No, the disaster victims in He County can move to Suzhou, but Lan County is surrounded by mountains, there is no way to avoid it, and the disaster is the worst. If you go a little later, the upstream embankment will collapse, and the whole county will suffer."

Disaster relief is not all the work of the Cangbu Division. The people of the Water Division rushed to the front for emergency rescue and disaster relief. They had to rush to Lan County earlier to stabilize the river embankment.

The supplies are late, and everyone has no food to eat. How can we fight the disaster?

Deng Yu choked, but he didn't expect Mu Shiyu to insist on going to Lan County.

When he was about to say that he would bring some supplies to He County first, he saw the coldness in her eyes, and stopped what he wanted to say in an instant.

This person in front of him is an inspector who can kill first and then play, so he should be careful when he speaks.

After Deng Yu left, Qin Su came into the carriage with the cooked meal, looked at Mu Shiyu's frown, and said, "Miss, let's eat something."

Mu Shiyu was not in the mood to eat, so he took the bowl, took a few mouthfuls, and quickly returned the bowl to Qin Su.

The rain outside the window did not abate at all, and she was a little worried.

At night, the team stopped to rest in an open space [-] meters away from the collapse of the mudslide.

Elder Jiu went to rest in the back compartment, and Mu Shiyu was lying in the compartment, unable to sleep for a while.

Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, I was relieved until the sound of rain became smaller and smaller and showed signs of stopping.

Closing his eyes, a shocking picture of the collapse of the embankment in Lan County and the flood hitting the county town suddenly appeared in his mind.

All the houses and fields in Lan County were destroyed, more than 2 people were killed or injured, and even the disaster relief materials were washed away.

The instigator of all this was Lu Wenqing, the prefect of Lizhou, who secretly exchanged relief supplies, blew up the embankment, and wanted to destroy all evidence.

The screen suddenly changed.

In front of the blockage of mudslides, three carriages dragged things covered by tarpaulins to the river embankment in the upper reaches of Lan County.

The magic of the jade pendant exceeded Mu Shiyu's imagination, and he dared to conclude that the last scene was what was happening at this moment.

The rain has stopped.

Mu Shiyu left the carriage, and said to Qin Su, who was leaning against the carriage to sleep, "Gather good people, pick some good light kungfu, and go around from the mountain to the river embankment upstream. Some people want to attack the river embankment."

"Yes!" Qin Su walked towards the guards of the General's Mansion who were escorting the team. Elder Jiu heard the movement and came to Mu Shiyu, wondering:
"Mu girl, how do you know that someone wants to attack the river embankment? Who is so courageous?"

"Guess."

Mu Shiyu didn't have time to explain, so after Qin Su left 100 people to supervise Deng Yu, he rushed to the river embankment and captured them all before the gang blew up the river embankment.

The flames illuminated the surrounding forests and were the only light in the boundless night. There were corpses lying on the road 300 meters away from the embankment, and only three people were left for interrogation.

Mu Shiyu lifted the tarpaulin on the carriage, and the boxes of gunpowder were shocking. Anticipating the consequences, everyone present gasped.

Elder Jiu looked at Mu Shiyu with inexplicable eyes, stroked his beard thoughtfully.

In a rage, Qin Su tortured the remaining three people to death, and finally forced to find out who the mastermind was, but the answer he heard was different from the name Mu Shiyu had predicted.

"The prefect of Suzhou? This trick is not clever enough. If he can reach the embankment before us, he must know the time of our departure."

Mu Shiyu sneered, and asked Qin Su to continue interrogating, while she lifted the tarpaulin of the last carriage, and saw the men who were thrown into the river embankment in the precognitive dream.

In the foretelling picture, he quietly hid in the carriage and tried to stop them after reaching the embankment, but was thrown into the river by those people.

The man curled up in the pile of explosives, his deer-like eyes looked at Mu Shiyu timidly, his face was pale, like a little daughter-in-law who was about to be robbed, and Mu Shiyu was speechless for a while.

"Come out, they're dead."

Such a timid person dared to hide in it and made a feat to stop those people. The final ending was a bit miserable.

Hearing Mu Shiyu's words, the man climbed out of the carriage cautiously, his whole body was shaking, his face was covered with explosive powder, and his true colors could not be seen.

"Thank you hero, no, thank you woman!"

Then, he jumped out of the carriage, but curled up for a long time, his feet were already numb.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Mu Shiyu helped his forehead, and grabbed his collar with the other hand. Seeing that he was quite tall, he pulled him to sit on the stone by the roadside, and asked:
"What's your name?"

In the preview screen, he did not hear his name.

"Wei Huai, the county magistrate of Lan County, found them when he went up the mountain to check the situation. He didn't expect someone to blow up the embankment."

Wei Huai's dirty face was a little red, and he was a little embarrassed to be carried by Mu Shiyu. He sat on the rock and looked around. Seeing that everyone else was wearing neat and uniform clothes, he asked vigilantly:
"who are you?"

Mu Shiyu looked at Wei Huai. He was wearing ordinary gray cloth, which was extremely simple, but he was quite upright. His long hair was all tied on his head, and he was wearing a wooden hairpin.

Looking horizontally and vertically, he doesn't look like a county magistrate.

After confirming that his eyes were not lying, Mu Shiyu still replied:

"The inspectors who came to provide relief guessed that someone would attack the embankment, so they rushed over."

Wei Huai was a little skeptical. He had never seen such a beautiful female inspector. When he saw Mu Shiyu take out the badge, tears burst into tears and he knelt down in front of Mu Shiyu.

"Finally someone is here. Hurry up and save the people in our county. The disaster information is too late. We have been hungry for a month."
