Chapter 112 The Collapsing House

After finally reaching the next city, Chen Liuer leaned against the car window boredly. She opened the car curtains, put one hand against the window, put her head on it, and looked at the scene outside the carriage, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes and suck in breath. in one breath.

When they arrived at the city, Chen Liuer was the first to discover the person receiving the reception, her face stunned, and she turned to look at Xiao Shuangling in the carriage, "Shuangling, how old does the magistrate usually work?"

"Ah?" Xiao Shuangling was stunned and shook his head, "I don't know, I have never been involved in politics."

As soon as the carriage stopped, the two slowly got out of the carriage while carrying their skirts, Chen Liuer took Xiao Shuangling all the way to the place where the man stood in front, and asked, "Why is the county magistrate this time an old man? "

She felt that the old man looked like he was going to ascend to the sky at any time. His hands and feet were very uneasy, and he needed someone to help him when he walked.

Chen Liuer was even more curious, since he was so inconvenient to move around, why did he insist on being the county magistrate of this city?

"Hey, I do know about this." Lu Yu came out from behind the carriage with a smile. He stood beside Chen Liu'er and explained softly with the folding fan at the corner of his mouth.

"Because he offended the emperor back then, the emperor was so angry that he let him work until his death to atone for his sins. The destiny is hard to violate, so he can only bend down to come here and be the county magistrate for a lifetime."

Chen Liuer raised her eyebrows in confusion, "Don't he know how to resist?"

"How dare you, an honest person, the emperor will scare the family with the crime of harming the family, etc., and he even dares to stay here in peace. I think he has stayed here for more than [-] years."

"Hey." Chen Liu'er shook her head and said helplessly, "It's a fool."

Seeing everyone coming, the old magistrate wanted to go forward and salute, but was stopped by Jiang Shizhao, "I'm getting old, so it's better to avoid such things."

"Thank you, sir." The old magistrate rolled his cloudy eyes and landed on Chen Liuer and the others, puzzled.

The female family members can't follow casually, but here, they are probably close-fitting maids, but they don't look like they are dressed.

He slowly retracted his eyes, and was too lazy to tangle too much. For him, other things were just floating clouds in his eyes. He was also an elderly person, and he couldn't get involved in how young people were thinking.

When everyone went in together, Chen Liuer was surprised by the scene in front of her, and Xiao Shuangling was even worse. She didn't expect that there would be such a barren area.

She couldn't help but step forward, but her sleeve was pulled. Xiao Shuangling looked back, Chen Liuer shook her head at her, she nodded and stood back to her side.

All these things happened along the way, Xiao Shuangling also knew in his heart that he should not be too willful.

Before they brought themselves out, they had brought them a lot of trouble, and now it is better to have less toss.

Jiang Shizhao stood beside the old magistrate with a frown, looking at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "Why are the houses so short?"

The old county magistrate looked up at the other party and sighed heavily, "Because there are no mines around the city, they are all civil constructions. These houses are naturally built relatively low, and there is always the danger of the houses collapsing."

They did not visit the county magistrate's mansion like the previous magistrate, but watched the people's situation after the old magistrate's staggering pace.

As soon as they passed a corner, Jiang Shizhao saw a place where people were crowded. The people there were not anxious, but numb.

At the same time, when he looked at the collapsed house they were dealing with, he knew that what the old county magistrate had just said was right.

At this time, a commoner suddenly rushed in front of them, blocked their way, and knelt in front of Jiang Shizhao, "You must be an adult sent from the capital!"

A few days ago, the man heard that the capital would send adults to patrol city by city. This time was a great opportunity.

He knocked his head heavily on the ground and shouted loudly, "Please forgive the small conflict, but please call the shots for us!"

Seeing this, the old county magistrate on the side turned his face away and sighed heavily.

Jiang Shizhao pulled the man up from the ground and asked in a low voice, "Tell me if you have something to say."

"Our city has no mines all the year round, so the houses can only be built short, and it is easy to collapse. You must have seen it just now."

"Because of the county magistrate's relationship, even if we went to other cities to buy iron and copper, the other party refused to buy it, so we could only bear it and wait until you came to patrol. We can only ask you to help us. Do justice."

There was a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes, and he looked nervously at the man in front of him, praying in his heart that the other party could promise them to handle these things.

They can bear it, but what about the children?

What if they go out to farm and sell vegetables, and it is impossible to take care of the children all the time. What if the children are at home and the house suddenly collapses?
This city can't be without popularity, they are willing to stay here, but they have to live where they live.

Jiang Shizhao responded. He calmed the crowd and asked the old magistrate to take them to another place to check.

After checking all the way, they all followed the old magistrate back to the county magistrate's mansion. Unlike the common people, the magistrate's mansion had been built earlier, so it would not collapse easily because it contained copper and iron.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, at least they won't be worried after a few days tonight.

Jiang Shizhao and Lu Junxing stayed together, and the two of them discussed the situation in the county.

"Didn't the old magistrate just take us to see it? I've seen the army, but they are only ordinary guards, and most of them are not young, so they are not a threat at all."

Jiang Shizhao understood in an instant that there were almost a lot of older people gathered in this county. He had carefully looked at the people who had just lived in the county, but there were not many young people.

"Well, although there is no threat, buying mines is still a problem."

Without mines, what happened to them today would often happen again in this county in the future.

Furthermore, Jiang Shizhao has also promised that the other party will solve this problem. The first is to check whether there is a private army supporting the civilian army, and the second is to help the poor people as much as possible.

Chen Liuer was holding the meal, and just stood outside the door, she listened to the conversation between the two inside, she rolled her eyes subconsciously, and muttered: "Why can't this wood turn like this."

She snorted in a low voice, opened the door and brought things in.

"Damu, have you forgotten something?" Chen Liu'er gave Jiang Shizhao a blank look. She placed the food heavily on the table, and gave Jiang Shizhao a few gestures with her free fingers.

Jiang Shizhao froze for a moment, and instantly understood the meaning of Chen Liuer's words.
