At noon, the people who had gone to the county seat to check came back wet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"So that Lord Qi knows that the center of the earth movement is not in the county seat, but the county seat has still been greatly affected, half of the houses have collapsed, and many people have been buried in the rubble."

The head of the inn was ticking with rain on his head, and he reached out to wipe his face, and said in a trembling voice.

When the ground movement occurred, it was the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping soundly, and there was no time to escape, and by the time they reacted, the house had collapsed.

The chief thought of the scene he had just seen, and couldn't help but roll down his tears, woo, it's so miserable, a good county town has become a ruin overnight, the people have been killed and injured countless times, and hysterical cries and heart-wrenching mourning can be heard everywhere.

Qi Jinzhi was silent, in the face of huge natural disasters, people are so small, and life is so fragile.

After being silent for a long time, Qi Jinzhi asked, "Is the county government good?" How are the county lords of your county okay? ”

The chief wiped away his tears with his sleeve, choked up, and said, "The little one is about to talk about this." Half of the county government was destroyed, but fortunately, the county and several adults of the county government were fine. By the way, the head catcher of the county government is also here. ”

The director pointed to a thin black man beside him, and introduced Qi Jinzhi: "Lord Qi, this is the head of the thunder catcher, and I came to meet the lord on the order of the county honor." ”

Lei Zhutou clenched his fist at Qi Jinyi, "I've seen Lord Qi in my humble position." ”

Qi Jinzhi is not a local official, just a county magistrate who went to Yunnan.

It stands to reason that Lei Zhutou doesn't need to be so respectful at all.

In fact, if it were someone else, Lei Zhutou would indeed not do this.

But Qi Jin is different, the Qi family is the emperor of the southwest, and is quite famous in Shu, Yunnan, and Guizhou.

Qi Lingxian's former title was the Duke of Qianguo, and he was awarded the title of Dangping the Liukou of Guizhou.

Therefore, in the southwest, the prestige of the Qi family army is far more deterrent than that of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Lei Zhutou is a native of Shudi, a hereditary yamen soap subordinate, and is very familiar with Qi Jiazi.

Not to mention that he was counting on Qi Jinzhi's help this time, Lei Zhutou's attitude towards Qi Jinzhi was extremely awe-inspiring.

Lei Zhutou spoke quickly, and directly stated the purpose of this trip: "The county seat was destroyed by the ground movement, the official road was blocked, and the county respected the county has ordered the servants to go to the capital city to report the news, but the victims of the county are in urgent need of relief, and the food is good to say, but the medicinal materials are in short supply......"

If you want to transport disaster relief materials such as medicinal herbs to the county seat, you need to open up the official road buried by mountains and rocks.

This project is too arduous for at least twenty or thirty county officials to be relied upon.

The local magistrate surnamed Tang has been a parent official here for more than ten years.

After the ground movement occurred, Tangzhi County hurriedly allocated manpower to check all parts of the county, and organized strong men to rescue the injured people.

It's just that the manpower is limited, especially after hearing that the official road was buried, Tang Zhixian was anxious.

Suddenly, he remembered a guard not far from the county seat, with three or four hundred soldiers under his command.

If the officers and men of the mobile guard post can be invited to come to the rescue, the losses of the county town can be reduced to a minimum.

The problem is that the big soldiers in this year are not the children of the Celestial Empire, and without the order of the imperial court, the commander of the guard will never let his soldiers go to the earthquake relief.

It happened that at this time, the post man of the post station came to inquire about the news, and said that there was a Qi master who went to Wusa to be the magistrate of the county lived in the post station.

When Tang Zhixian heard the surname 'Qi', his heart moved, and he hurriedly called Yicheng to ask carefully.

The surname is Qi Jinzhi, his mother is the county lord, and his wife is the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, Tang Zhixian immediately guessed Qi Jinzhi's origin - Qi Jinzhi, the eldest son of the former Qianguo Gong and the general of the Southwest!

Great, the people of the county are saved!

Tang Zhixian was overjoyed, and ordered someone to call the head catcher of the county government, carefully admonished a few words, and asked him to follow Yicheng to see Qi Jinzhi.

"......" Qi Jinzhi listened to Lei Zhutou's words and was silent.

This is not a big deal, the southwest battalion was set up by the Qi family, and the commanders of the southwest guards and most of the thousands of households are related to the Qi family.

What's more, many generals were originally from the Qi family's own soldiers.

For others, without the imperial court's order, it is simply impossible to mobilize the soldiers of the guard.

But for Qi Jinzhi, it's just a matter of a strip.

But now is the most sensitive time, the Qi family handed over the military power in the southwest, and the saint gave the Qi family extrajudicial grace.

If Qi Jinzhi casually interfered in the military affairs of the southwest at this time, the news would reach the capital, which would definitely arouse the suspicion of the saints, and maybe it would make the Qi family, which had just improved a little, fall into the abyss again.

Then refuse?

Qi Jinzhi was a little unbearable, so many people in the county were affected by the disaster, and if he was delayed for one day, he didn't know how many people died.

"Lord Qi, this matter is indeed a bit difficult, but please look at the face of tens of thousands of innocent people and help us."

Lei Zhutou knelt on the ground with a pop, knocked his head several times, and blood soon flowed from his forehead.

"Lei Zhutou, what are you doing here? Hurry up. ”

Qi Jinzhi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Lei Zhutou's arm and forcibly helped him up.

"Lord Qi, please, save those poor people." Lei Zhutou choked up and looked at him with pleading eyes.

"It's not that Qi doesn't want to help, it's true, alas, this matter is very important, let Qi think about it." Qi Jinzhi avoided Lei Zhutou's gaze, gave a few commands, and returned to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying.

Wow~Wow~~

The rain continued to fall, and soon small pools of water were building up in the courtyard.

Gu Jialuo sat by the window, the rain blurred the surrounding scenery, and she couldn't help sighing: Earthquake and heavy rain, what does God want to do, don't you give the people a way to live?

"Uncle!"

Ziwei saw Qi Jin's body come in with moisture, and hurriedly sent a clean cotton towel.

Qi Jinzhi wiped his face with a cotton towel and walked inside.

Gu Jialuo hurriedly asked with concern, "How is it?" Did you hear anything? ”

Qi Jinzhi slowly relayed the words of Yi Cheng and Lei Zhutou, and then said as if muttering: "I don't want to help, but our Qi family, alas~~"

Gu Jialuo frowned, suddenly remembered something, and leaned into Qi Jinzhi's ear, "The officers and soldiers of the guard can't be easily mobilized, but what about the private soldiers of the Tusi family?" ”

If Gu Jialuo is not mistaken, there are several Yi villages in the local area, and the Qi family has been operating in the southwest for decades, and has close contacts with the local Tusi and Haoqiang.

They all rely on favors to 'borrow soldiers', and borrowing troops from the guards may violate the law, but borrowing troops from the Tusi will not be controlled by the court, right?!

Qi Jinzhi's eyes lit up, right, why did he forget this stubble?

Gu Jialuo said again: "In addition, didn't we also bring a hundred elite soldiers." Left and right, we must also open up the official road into Yunnan. ”

Qi Jinzhi nodded again and again, Gu Jialuo's reminder opened his mind, and he added: "There are also people from the Xie family's firm, and they also brought a lot of dart masters. ”

In a few clicks, you should be able to get together five or six hundred people, and that's enough!

"It's still the uncle who thinks thoughtfully," Gu Jialuo habitually praised her husband, and then said: "Don't hesitate, uncle, hurry up and go to Zhang Luo, the guards of our family and the Xie family are okay to say, Tusi's side, you must come forward in person." ”

Qi Jinzhi has also been a major general in the southwest for several years, and he still has this idea and connections.

The right hand smashed into a fist and smashed it into the palm of the left hand, and Qi Jin swept away Fang Cai's depression, and walked out of the small courtyard in good spirits.

Qi Jinzhi left Gu Jialuo with more than 20 guards, and all the others were taken out.

Shopkeeper Xie has also ordered someone to ride a fast horse to Beijing to deliver the letter, and he arranged things step by step according to the 'disaster relief process' of the Xie firm.

On the county side, Tang Zhixian received the message sent back by Lei Zhutou, and was overjoyed, and devoted himself energetically to the work of rescuing the wounded and helping the people.

In the pouring rain, people from all sides were busy.

Qi Jinzhi personally took a few guards to the nearest Yi cottage, I don't know what to say to the head there, and then took nearly a hundred young men down the mountain.

The guard also got the news, and privately ordered someone to contact Qi Jinzhi.

In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Jinzhi couldn't borrow troops from them, but quietly borrowed some gunpowder, and there were large areas of mountains and rocks blocked on the official road, which was too time-consuming to rely on manpower alone.

Qi Jinzhi simply buried the gunpowder, directly blasted the large rocks, and then quickly cleaned up.

Qi Jinzhi was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and Gu Jialuo was not idle, and every day he ordered people to go around to buy food and cold herbs, and then asked the cook to lead the maids to cook and boil ginger soup for those guards and strong men.

Fortunately, the heavy rain stopped after two days.

Seeing the long-lost sunshine, everyone became more and more confident and energetic.

After seven or eight days, several roads around the county town were finally cleared, and the people in charge of investigating the news finally found the 'epicenter' -- a small col more than 300 miles away from the county seat.

There were more than 100 families scattered in the col, but they were all buried in the rubble, and none of them survived!

Tang Zhixian wiped away his tears, ordered people to surround the mountain pass, clean up the corpses and bury them collectively, and then sprinkled lime around the ruins.

"This time, the county suddenly encountered a big disaster, thanks to the help of Lord Qi and his wife, I am very grateful,"

Tang Zhixian came to the post house and respectfully thanked Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo.

Qi Jinzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help Tang Zhixian up, and even said, 'It should be'.

The two sat down and exchanged a few words, the relief work in the county town was not over, Tang Zhixian couldn't stay long, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude, and then left.

Qi Jinzhi personally sent people to the door.

Tang Zhixian suddenly remembered something, and before leaving, he turned to Qi Jinzhi and said in a low voice: "It is rumored that there are bandits near Shimen Pass, please be careful!" ”

Shimen Pass is the only way to enter Yunnan from Shu, where the mountains and rivers are steep, and it is a good place to set up an ambush.

Qi Jin was shocked and hurriedly thanked him.

Tang Zhixian waved his hand and rode away with a few errand servants.

……

At one end of the official road, more than a dozen men and women dressed in alien costumes rode horses.

The head was a young woman in her twenties, wearing ethnic silver ornaments on her head, neck, and wrists, which made a crisp jingling sound during her movements.

Qi Jin's pedestrian slowly walked from the other side, just in time to pass by the dozen or so people.

Gu Jialuo suddenly felt an inexplicable murderous aura, she lifted the curtain of the car, followed her feelings, but looked for a pair of hateful eyes......
