Chapter 67: After the Earthquake

In the Jinghai Marquis's Mansion, Shen Zheng was discussing the matter of the ground movement with his staff.

Although Shen Zheng, Marquis of Jinghai, is still Princess Shoukang, he is not without scruples.

Princess Shoukang's mother, Concubine Xian, was the most favored when the first emperor was alive, and when the first emperor died, the queen mother said that you were the first emperor's favorite person, didn't you accompany him when he went underground? At that moment, he gave the virtuous concubine Bai Aya.

Although Concubine Xian died, she had already made a holy decree for Princess Shoukang to marry before she died, and her husband's family had heavy soldiers in her hands, even the Queen Mother did not dare to move her lightly, but as the Queen Mother who listened to the government, she could arrange Daru Huachi to monitor the Shen family. This Daru Huachi is naturally loyal to the Queen Mother, and does not forget to trouble the Shen family at any time.

The new emperor is only thirteen years old, and the dragon chair is not yet hot, even if he thinks about everything, he doesn't dare to lean too much towards the courtiers.

If the earth really moves, if the Shen family doesn't do it, they will be asking for their own death; If we can seize the opportunity, we can get the people to evacuate safely. But what if there is no movement of the earth? Let the people and soldiers of the whole city go out of the city in the middle of the night, in case someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, the queen mother is afraid that she doesn't want to directly deduct a hat of rebellion for the Shen family, and then not only the Shen family, but also the reputation of hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be threatened.

Jinghaihou was in a dilemma.

At this time, a henchman walked in and muttered a few words in Shen Zheng's ear, and his frowning brows suddenly relaxed.

"Bring the two in the lead." He said. I was worried that no one would carry the black pot, but I didn't expect the person who carried the black pot to come to the door immediately.

The henchmen went out, and Fu brought two more people in.

"Students Qiao Chaoyang and Liu Yongan visited Hou Ye, I came here in the middle of the night just to ask Hou Ye how to deal with himself if the ground moves." Qiao Chaoyang said.

It turned out that Liu Yongan and his classmates still felt uneasy when they came out of Liu's house and notified the college, and some people even mentioned that the scope of ground movement may be more than one state and one county, and the coverage may be very wide. A group of students relied on the bookish spirit, and even started propaganda everywhere, and now there are many people waiting to leave the city at the city gate, and they have come to the Jinghai Marquis Mansion. As for Qiao Chaoyang, he met him on the road, and he was happy that he had the news that the ground was moving, and he wanted to come over to discuss countermeasures with Liu Yongan, but he didn't expect that they were already in action, so he didn't hesitate to join together.

Shen Zheng had naturally heard of this newly baked young man Tanhua, and couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Benhou will immediately send someone to the neighboring towns, counties, prefectures, and governments to inform him of this matter." As for the people of the city, the gates of the city were opened and they were placed in an open and flat place. As for you, it is the hope of the future of my Great Zhou, so go out of the city with the people, and the rest will be done by Benhou. "The people of the whole city, driven by this group of scholars, asked to go out by themselves, but he was just afraid of provoking a popular uprising, so he took advantage of the trend. The law does not hold the public accountable.

When Qiao Chaoyang and Liu Yongan heard this, their goal was achieved, they dispersed everyone and went to find their families.

Liu Yongan is okay, his family is Wang Jing and a few subordinates, who waited at the city gate early, and went out to set up a tent after opening the city gate. Qiao's family is different, Qiao Zhifu is outside, and the adult male in the family is Qiao Chaoyang's father, but this has long been disabled by Mrs. Qiao, and Wen Chengwu will not say it, and he is very afraid of this mother-in-law, and when he heard that he was going out of the city, he went to ask the old lady first.

The old lady of the Qiao family is more than seventy, how can she be willing to go to the field in the middle of the night?

If the old lady didn't go, the rest of the people naturally didn't dare to go.

On this night, the rain was very heavy, and as soon as the rain stopped, the temperature was low, and the people who ran out in a panic were drenched like chickens in soup, shivering from the cold. There are many partial mosquitoes, and they are afraid, and they dare not close their eyes one night. When the sky was bright, they all ran home to catch up on sleep.

People like the Qiao family who haven't left the city, in fact, there are a lot of people, especially those from good families, who are willing to run out in the middle of the night to get caught in the rain and feed mosquitoes?

Now there is no accident, and I can't help but laugh at the people who spent the night in the field.

"You're afraid of death!"

Even more vicious, "The little girl ran into the field in the middle of the night, with so many men, who knows what to do." ”

Even the prefect of Huang openly hid in the mansion and frolicked with his concubines, and as for the people haunting the city, he didn't bother to care.

"I'm waiting to see the Shen family's jokes." He has even written an excerpt of impeachment in conjunction with the imperial history, and is ready to enter the capital at any time.

If the Shen family is brought down, the addition of officials to the knighthood is just around the corner.

In the middle of the night the next night, the earth cracked, the houses collapsed, the people neighed, and the rain poured down.

Fortunately, the people complained and complained, and they still spent the night outside with the flow out of the city, and only diehards like Huang Zhifu were still in the city. If he doesn't go out of the city, he will naturally not let his family out of the city. Some families are not afraid to look at the prefect's family, so they naturally follow behind and learn.

When Huang Zhifu was woken up by his aunt and wife in his arms, he felt that the ground was shaking, and he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he was busy running out......

Before he could climb out of the door, a beam fell and hit his leg, telling that the earth should not be called ineffective every day. It wasn't until dawn that the people heard the cries for help and took him out.

Poor aunt who died at the age of fifteen.

Huang Zhifu's family, in addition to the prefect's master, the rest of the people were also injured, but Huang Shuyuan's brothers and sisters were safe and sound.

The earth moved all over the city, and although the two of them did not go out of the city, they were also frightened and did not dare to sleep. When she felt that the bed would move, Huang Shuyuan hid in the corner next to the wardrobe, but she escaped. The house where her brother Huang Jun lived was intact. Mrs. Huang was also unharmed, that is, in the courtyard of Master Huang's aunts, there were many people who were stoned to death, and several were injured.

A group of people, appeased by Jinghaihou, immediately went out of the city crying and crying, and honestly set up their tents.

The situation of the Qiao family was much better than that of the Huang family, and the old lady Qiao learned that the Jinghai Hou family had set up a tent outside the city, so she had no objection to going out of the city.

Fortunately, there were not many people left in the city, and after cleaning up, there were about twenty or thirty wounded, more than 20 dead, and more than 10 missing.

For the next few days, no one dared to go back to the city for the night.

Jinghaihou also counted Huaiyuan, Shouchun, Xiacai, Dingyuan, and Chuzhou...... In other places, houses have collapsed, and there are not too many casualties. It was not that the disaster was not serious, but because Jinghai Hou sent a letter to the past, he had already taken precautions.

It was Liu Zhangwan, so close to Fucheng, although he felt the ground movement, but he was not substantially affected, not to mention that the house did not collapse, even the chicken coop, dog kennel, and pigsty were not damaged at all, but Zhang's children were worried about the children in the city, and Liu Yonghui went over, and Wang Jing was taken back on the same day.

Only Liu Yongan was very happy to hear that his home was intact, and he followed Liu Yonghui home once, and on the same day, he picked a few ox cart pears and apples and sent them to Jinghaihou.

"It's stupid to read, his mother and son have worked hard at home for a year and have been ruined by him like this." The third aunt Zhou said.

You must know that the fruits in Liu Yongan's house are not sold in the current season, and they are all taken out in the winter, and the price is more expensive than meat. Just give it to people for free, isn't it stupid?

For those who live in tents and drink the stream water to eat dry food, these pears and apples are definitely good things, they can ward off thirst and hunger, and they are sweet and moisturizing, and they are as delicious as they are. Even after many years, many people feel that they have never eaten such delicious fruits again.

So, from Princess Shoukang to the women in the countryside, everyone felt that Liu Sanxiaoyuan and his son were the best people they had met in their lives.

Not to mention them, even Jinghaihou thinks that this father and son are too good at buying people's hearts, and others don't say that he himself seems to have been bought by the Liu family, and he feels that with these fruits alone, he can give the Liu family and his son a great credit.

Even the imperial history began to say good things for Liu Chengfang, and even reported to the emperor that he had dug up gold to run a school.
