Chapter 374 Am I Coming Now?
When Mr. Zhuang saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Madam, is there any other important matter to explain?"

Cui Pu immediately pulled the corners of his lips: "It's just a guess, I'd better not say it to disturb the morale of the army for the time being."

Mu Jiaojiao's guess must not be groundless.

Having been with Cui Pu for so many years, Mr. Zhuang knows Mu Jiaojiao's abilities clearly in his heart.Seeing that Mu Jiaojiao has supported Cui Pu all the way until now, he admires Mu Jiaojiao from the bottom of his heart.So when he saw Cui Pu's reaction now, he knew that something bad must have happened.

"Prefect, you don't want to take everyone's restless thoughts because of some unfounded news, but this old man thinks that if there is any big news, you can bring it out first and let our group of people help you to refer to it. In case something really happens, everyone will be helpless. Here are our own people."

Cui Pu felt reasonable when he heard the words, so he handed the letter to him.

Mr. Zhuang glanced roughly, and his face changed accordingly. "Is Madam's guess true?"

"Whether it is true or not, we will know tomorrow." Cui Pu said calmly.

After finally waiting until noon the next day, Hu San finally came back wet.

"Prefect, this subordinate went to observe the emissary's mansion to ask for help. Who would have thought that after reading the letter, he said that his soldiers had already been lent to Hailing County to guard the dam! And it was just the day before the subordinate went to ask for help. Let's go!"

"Sure enough." Cui Pu lowered his eyes, neither happy nor angry, just spit out these two words coldly.

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help clapping his hands: "Madam really guessed right! This observer is actually from Li Zhongshu!" After finishing speaking, his voice dropped another octave, "It's just that Hailing County suffered a flood, and they didn't come to the government office to ask for help. But he went directly to the Observer, and the Observer gave him all the people, what is the reason? Tell everyone clearly, are they colluding?"

"In an emergency, in order to protect the well-being of the people in the county, there is nothing wrong with him asking for help from the nearest Shangguan. It is an urgent time, an extraordinary solution, and this wrong choice is nothing." Cui Pu said coldly.

They naturally knew this in their hearts, but...they were unhappy!
Those two people clearly planned it long ago, and they moved them away the day before their people went. What does this mean?It means that those people have been watching what they did all the time, and now they finally seized the opportunity and started to retaliate!
However, taking the lives of so many people, the property left by their ancestors, and the large fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River in the New Tang Dynasty to retaliate against him, their gamble is too big!
Cui Pu couldn't help sneering. "Wan Tianci, Li Linfu, you guys are really good."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world.Li Linfu is also a man with good eyesight. Even if Wan Tianci tried his best to conceal it, after so long, he must have known what happened in Yangzhou Mansion in September and October last year.

It's just that Wan Tianci didn't say anything, and the incident didn't cause any splashes outside the Yangzhou mansion, so he naturally pretended that nothing happened.But no matter what, Cui Pu was also the one who cheated him, which was to indirectly slap him in the face and reject his overtures.So now, as long as there is a chance, he will definitely teach Cui Pu a lesson backhanded.

Since the observer is his person, he must act according to his will.

"So what should we do now?" Mr. Wu stomped his feet anxiously.

"Fortunately, madam had expected it. After the subordinate came out of the observation envoy's mansion, he transferred to Wang Cishi's mansion. After handing over the letter, Wang Cishi brought over a thousand elite soldiers under him. !” Hu San said immediately.

"Really? That's great!" As soon as the words came out, Mr. Zhuang and others cheered immediately.

Cui Pu was also excited for a while, and looked at Hu San: "Why didn't Madam tell me about this in the letter?"

"By the way, before my subordinate left yesterday, Madam asked my subordinate to tell you a word." Hu San immediately said, "As the governor of a local district, his status is sensitive. Helping us is out of affection, not helping us is Duty. Whether to help or not is all in his mind. She couldn't make up her mind what choice Wang Cishi would make, so she didn't say anything. In this way, if the subordinates didn't bring in rescuers, you wouldn't It’s too disappointing. And if you really moved here, it would be a surprise, wouldn’t it be better to give you a surprise?”

"Madam really...has taken everything into consideration. Knowing that we are already anxious enough, she will not give us unnecessary hope, but will directly support you in reality. Having such a lady is really a blessing for you, the magistrate, and also for Yangzhou. The blessings of the hundreds of thousands of people in the family!" Mr. Zhuang sighed sincerely.

"That's natural. Ever since I married her, my blessings have never been broken!" Cui Pu said proudly.

But now is not the time to be shy.After a little excitement, he lowered his face again: "Where are the thousand elite soldiers?"

"Just outside, always on standby!"

"Okay! Now, let's go out to purge the army and assign tasks!"

With the help of a thousand well-trained soldiers, things became much easier.

Cui Pu sent 300 people to resettle the displaced people, and left 500 people behind. They packed stones with baskets, sacks and other available things and piled them in the gap of the embankment.Block the opening first, and then slowly expand the scope until the entire river embankment is temporarily replaced with a dam made of stones, which can be regarded as solving the hidden danger of the breach.The remaining 200 people rushed to dig ditches to dredge the flood water.

And seeing that they were short of manpower, Guo Jieshi and others quickly sent all the servants in the house to help.

After half a month of hard work, the flood was finally calmed down.

It was also at this time that the tick-tock rainy season finally came to an end and the sun came out.

At this time, Mu Jiaojiao also came by car.

When he saw her, Cui Pu immediately turned cold. "What are you here for?"

"I'll help you!" Mu Jiaojiao smiled, jumped out of the car, and asked someone to lift all the things on the car.

Seeing several boxes being lifted down one after another, Cui Pu frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Haven't you studied the county annals? Every time after a flood disaster, if it is exposed to the sun, it will be very easy to breed plague." Mu Jiaojiao said.

Cui Pu's expression, which had been relaxed for a few days, immediately became serious again. "Are you serious?"

"Prefect, it's true." Mr. Wu hastily whispered.

Cui Pu's eyes darkened.

Mu Jiaojiao patted his face: "Don't be afraid, am I here now?"
