Chapter 238: The Flood

In the past few days, the torrential rain has not stopped, and the water of the Baishui River has been raging, like a beast of prey. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The people living on the banks of the Baishui River are anxious and distressed all day long. Pray that this day will soon be clear, let alone the farmer in the farmland, even they themselves will not be able to save their lives.

But fortunately, the county magistrate of Baishui County is very virtuous, and he is a good official who worries about the country and the people.

The county magistrate was a gray-bearded old man, originally he thought that the rain would stop in a few days, and as in previous years, nothing would happen, so he didn't take much precautions, but later found that the rain didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, but it was getting more and more crazy.

At this time, the people were anxious, and the old county order was even more anxious.

The old county order gathered the capable people in the county, intending to come up with a countermeasure.

The last weak scholar came forward and said that he would build a dam to control the water.

Everyone then asked the scholar what to say, although the scholar was weak, but he was really proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, so he explained it like this, and everyone applauded.

So the old county order began to arrange the start of construction.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people are in misfortune and blessings.

One day, the old county commander was sitting in his bedroom and reading ancient books, trying to find some ancient techniques about building a dam and contributing to his people, not wanting to suddenly fall from the sky, break through the huge beams, and fall in front of the old county commander like a thousand pounds of sledgehammer.

After all, the old county commander was old and immetric, and he couldn't withstand this fright, so he didn't carry it in one breath, and was scared to death.

The old county commander broke the teacup on the table when he fell.

The fine porcelain teacup rolled off the table and shattered with a snap.

The servant outside the door heard the sound and pushed the door in, only to see a blue phoenix lying on the ground.

After all, the servant was mortal, so he broke down the door as if he had seen a ghost.

The blue phoenix on the ground turned into a graceful woman and stood up.

The blue phoenix is called Lin Qi, and it is the ice phoenix of the Feng clan.

She felt that there seemed to be someone in the room, so she searched around.

Sure enough, she found the old county magistrate lying on the ground.

She walked over and called the old county order a few times, and found that he was motionless, so she realized that the old county order was dead.

After repeatedly testing the old county order's snort in disbelief, Lin Qi finally admitted that the old county order was dead, and should have been scared to death by her.

Suddenly, Lin Qi trembled.

She has never harmed anyone, even if the old county order was not intentionally killed by her, she is still full of guilt and remorse in her heart.

Lin Qi couldn't help but shed two lines of tears on his face.

She cried for a long time, and then gradually stopped crying, thinking that the Siren had gone, and she couldn't cry back, so she thought about burying him in a good place.

As soon as he helped the old county order up, Ming Weimu heard a noisy sound outside.

Lin Qi thought that it should be that servant who came back again, since this is the case, then let that servant solve it, after all, she took away the body of the old county commander so suddenly, and those people are afraid that they will have to look for it everywhere.

So Lin Qi walked to the back window, opened the window, and then flew away unconsciously.

Outside the door was the servant from before.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a phoenix lying there, so he fled in fright.

But when I went out, I remembered that it seemed that the old county order was falling to the ground at that time, so I was worried about the comfort of the old county order, so I came back with someone.

As soon as the servant entered the door, he found that the phoenix was gone, and there was an old county magistrate lying on the ground.

Then the whole house began to weep in grief.

After that, the people of Manxian County also cried.

White paper money is flying all over the county like catkins, and both the poor and the rich come out to see off the old county order.

As the saying goes, the old doesn't go, and the new doesn't come.

And now that the old is gone, the new is coming.

The new county magistrate came, and he came very quickly.

The new county magistrate was covered in horizontal meat, his eyes were squinting when he smiled, and he was squinting when he didn't smile, and every time he smiled,

There will always be that big gold tooth exposed.

The county magistrate has a big belly, so much so that he walks like a penguin, and he is a penguin who eats overeats, so it can be seen that he is fat.

After all, Lin Qi was a county official who scared people to death, so he wanted to stay here to see how the new county official was doing for the old county official.

On the first day of the arrival of the new county magistrate, the people walked to the yamen to greet them.

I saw that the county official got out of the carriage and staggered into the yamen with a body of horizontal meat.

He sat down with a smile, then picked up the startling wooden snap, and the audience was silent.

The people were dumbfounded, not knowing what the county official meant.

At this time, the county magistrate suddenly burst out laughing, the squinting eyes of the laughing man narrowed even more, and the horizontal flesh of the laughing body trembled like a flower branch.

The new county magistrate played with the startling wood in his hand, and then turned his head and asked the master standing aside: "Master, what do you think of the momentum of this official?"

The master on the side looked like a bit of a literati, but his eyes were full of the essence of a thief.

The master heard the county commander ask this, so he hurriedly replied: "Master, the shot you just took just now, the momentum is like a turbulent river!"

At this time, Lin Qi turned into a white cat, sitting on the beam of the house with Erlang's legs and eating melon seeds, and when he heard the master's sycophancy, Ming Weimu's admiring hand shook and shook off the melon seeds on the plate.

Lin Qi smashed his mouth, changed his posture, and continued to watch the excitement.

I saw that in the crowd, a white-faced scholar walked out, and then saluted, looking at the county order with a face-full of flesh and said, "My lord, the villain has something to ask!"

When the county magistrate saw someone coming out to speak, he put down his surprise for the time being, straightened up, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

The scholar said: "My lord, Baishui County is flooding at this time, and before the adults came, I and the squires and rich people were already planning to build a dam to control the flood, and now that you are here, I hope you can come out to preside over this matter." ”

When the county order heard it, his eyes lit up instantly, he thought for a while, and said: "This is natural, since I am a parent official, I will preside over the overall situation for you at all, and I will report to the imperial court and let the imperial court allocate funds for disaster relief, and this matter will be ......."

Before the county order was finished, he only felt that someone was kicking his foot.

Naturally, it was the master next to him who kicked him.

The county commander turned his head to look at the master, only to see the master secretly glaring at him.

Although the county order was a straw bale, he also knew that the master had other ideas, although he hadn't thought of it yet.

So he changed his words and continued: "This matter is very important, so this official must think about it carefully, this is the case today, this official is tired of traveling, and he is going back to rest." ”
