Chapter 668: Unexpected Joy

Starling is finished

After that, he kept hiding in the cabin and didn't come out, and naturally no one went to see him, everyone was afraid of getting his bad luck, even his brother Li Ren hid far away. Isn't it bad to say nonsense that shouldn't be said, and let Grandpa Guo hear it? Now no one can save him, he has just taken the first step in his career, even if it is the end.

After this incident, the officials on the ship were much more cautious, no one dared to talk nonsense, and they also paid more attention to their words and deeds, believing that under this punishment of killing one person and making an example of a hundred, after rushing to the disaster relief place, they could be more attentive in their work.

In the evening, Xia Xun simply had some food in the cabin, and continued to study disaster relief matters with Xia Yuanji and others, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, Yu Shiji hurriedly got up and asked, and Xu Yu ran into a person to report, saying that he might have found the people who survived. Xia Xun, Xia Yuanji and others hurriedly walked out of the hatch, and saw many officials, handymen, and shipwrights crowded on one side of the ship, pointing fingers and feet into the distance.

The person next to him was still explaining, saying that the ship was about to choose an underground anchor, and suddenly a boatman found that there seemed to be a surviving Cangsheng on the roof of a building near the left, Xia Xun couldn't help but be moved when he heard it, and hurriedly went to the side of the boat to raise his hand to cover the sunset, and looked into the distance, and saw that there was a black place on the white water, and there was a small official next to him who hurriedly invited merit and said: "Grandpa Guo, it was discovered by the lower official first, and the lower official found that there were faint lights coming out there, and the bright light shook and dazzled people's eyes...... ah! Look, the light is flashing again! ”

He didn't say that Xia Xun also felt it, there was a flickering light everywhere, and the intensity was by no means the natural reflection of sunlight on the water surface, and it was also moving back and forth, just now when the light passed through his eyes, it made his eyes a little black, Xia Xun was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Quick!" Hurry up! ”

All the boatmen worked together, the big ship changed the purpose of the standard, and sailed towards the place, and when it came closer, and then looked at the roof building, it seemed to be a temple, no wonder the roof was higher, on the top of the eaves, there were a few people lying there, waving weakly, the unkempt appearance, Xia Xun felt sour in his heart. He didn't know the taste of tears for a long time, but after he was over thirty years old, after having a wife and children, his heart seemed to be much softer.

Xia Xun was worried that the ship was big, and once it got close, the building would be soaked in water for too long, and it would collapse because of the slightest collision, so he hurriedly called the salvage team behind him to come over and save people on a bamboo raft. There were already many corpses on the raft, and they were laid out in a terrible place, but the idlers were neither dirty nor afraid. @美ε₯³ε­‘提供

They were also very surprised to see that there were still survivors, and hurriedly and carefully drove the raft closer, and then the two big men jumped on the top of the temple, put the few surviving people on the top of the temple onto the raft, and sent them to the big boat.

These survivors had a white-bearded old abbot and a small novice, who was originally a monk of this underwater temple, and when the flood came, they fled for their lives, and the whole temple was in chaos, and the old monk was unable to run far, so he asked the little novice who was waiting for him to help him climb to the top of the temple, but he saved his life.

As for the others, there were men, women, old and young, a total of six or seven people, some of whom had floated here along the river and were rescued by the old monk and the little apprentice with sticks as rods, and some of whom were still awake when they floated here and climbed up by themselves.

The tool they used to shine was a bronze mirror set on a dresser, and the dresser floated under the eaves of the temple and shattered, and the mirror fell on the roof of the temple, but who would look in the mirror in this situation? Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, it saved their lives.

There were more than 10 people who climbed to the top of this temple to escape, but some were dying, some died because of hunger and illness, and the old monk knew that the dead body was left in this limited place and exposed to the sun, and it was very easy for others to be infected with the plague, so he pushed the dead into the water, so when Xia Xun's boat arrived, the people who rescued were alive.

But these people have been hungry for at least seven or eight days, and the water they drink is not clean, one by one they are sick or hungry, and their faces are extremely haggard, Xia Xun didn't care a lot of questions, first asked someone to prepare ginger soup gruel to make them full, and called the doctor Lang Zhong who came with the boat to give them a physical examination.

Because there are many buildings in the water, a mistake in the night can be like hitting a reef, so the ship breaks anchor, rests on the spot, and waits until dawn to continue moving. At dawn, continue to set sail, Xia Xun picked the rescued people in the better mental recovery of the question, are the people in this vicinity, when the flood flooded the home, struggled in the water for a long time to find a foothold, family, home was destroyed in the water, when it came to the sad place, I couldn't help crying.

Xia Xun, Xia Yuanji and others were busy with words of relief, and asked them to follow their disaster relief team to Suzhou first, compare the flood retreat, and then help them rebuild their homes......

A Shandong man hurried to the foot of Cimu Mountain, he went to Jinling first, but when he arrived at the Fuguo Mansion, he pounced, and then rushed to Cimu Mountain.

He came from Pengjiazhuang and reported the funeral to Peng Ziqi: The old lady of the Peng family has passed away! ”

Mrs. Peng is nearly 100 years old, and her body has always been tough, but her life is endless, and she can't live forever if she is not physically tough.

A few days ago, the children and grandchildren came back from overseas, the family reunited, the hot pot was eaten, the old lady saw that the family was prosperous, and the children and grandchildren were full, and he was very happy, and he was full of interest during the banquet, and made an exception to drink three glasses of wine. After the wine feast, Mrs. Peng asked her servants to take a bath, changed into new clothes, sat cross-legged in the room, retreated to the left, and meditated as usual.

Although the old man is old, his fist and foot kung fu have long been put aside, but the internal breath cultivation is still wind and rain, and the whole family is also used to it, the next person exited the room, according to the rules, waiting for the old lady to practice the time has passed, gently open the door and come in to observe, the old lady Peng sat cross-legged on the kang, with a smile on her face, and she had passed away.

Although it is said that the old lady's life has passed 100, it is a happy funeral, the Peng family is still infinitely sad, immediately prepare for the old lady's funeral, and the children who are doing business in various places also rushed home to see off the old lady, this big man was ordered to come to Jiangnan to report the funeral to the Peng family's son-in-law and Peng Ziqi.

Peng Ziqi couldn't help but feel sad when she heard this, although she and Mrs. Peng are the fourth generation, and the relationship is farther away, not as close as her parents, but the old lady likes her very much, and she was also taken by the old lady when she was a child. After Ming'er heard about it, she also rushed to comfort her, because Xia Xun was in the Susong area for disaster relief, this is a state affair, when loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, you must first do state affairs, Peng Ziqi knew that her husband must not come back immediately, so he didn't wait for him, so he had to go back to Shandong with the Peng family's henchman.

Ming'er and several other ladies bought a generous gift, sent a general from the Guogong Mansion to escort him, and accompanied Peng Ziqi to return to his hometown to mourn, and at the same time sent people to Susong to find Xia Xun, first report to him a letter, now Xia Xun can't go back to Shandong, but as the son-in-law of the Peng family, he always has to go afterwards.

These things in the courtyard of Yangjiazhuang attracted the attention of Chen Yunan, a hundred households in brocade clothes.

After Chen Yunan was dispatched by Ji Gang, he concentrated on monitoring the news of the Yang family.

Xia Xun went to Susong for disaster relief, and Jinyiwei also sent someone to watch in the dark, just to find Xia Xun's sore spots, and directly start from Xia Xun, it's too difficult!

Xia Xun is doing this line of life, even the current Jinyi Wei commander Ji was his subordinate, in the past, Xia Xun commanded the flying dragon secret spy, in Jinling City to call the wind and rain, night into the Zhongshan Palace, heavy outflanking and drifting away unharmed, those thorough skills and talked about deeds, word of mouth to add oil and vinegar, has now become a legend of the rivers and lakes.

Many of Jinyiwei's secret spies regard Xia Xun as a god, Chen Yunan is also quite jealous of Xia Xun under the influence of his ears and eyes, and he has no confidence in asking him to go to such a person, not to mention Xia Xun's disaster relief, the high-ranking officials around him are like clouds, and the people who come and go are all local officials, like other people of his level, you want to know the inside story and master the secret, isn't that nonsense?

If you send a few people who can go high and high, you can master the secrets of others, especially the secrets of other officials at the level of Xia Xun, there will be no secrets under the sky for a long time, unless you can place a personal entourage of henchmen next to Xia Xun, but who is Xia Xun? can make him a confidant to do things for him, I'm afraid that he has already found out what the eight generations of ancestors are doing, how can the brocade secret agent get close?

Therefore, Chen Yunan focused on Xia Xun's family, if the high-ranking officials have any illegal acts, their family members will not be able to stay out of the matter, and there will be deeds to show more, and they are not the official himself, the vigilance is not as high as the official himself, and the person is not as sleek and sophisticated as the official himself, starting from these family members, it is easier to break through.

Mrs. Qi's mother-in-law passed away, Grandpa Guo was relieving the disaster, Mrs. Qi wanted to take her daughter back to Shandong first, this is not a secret that you need to carry people on your back, Chen Yunan's people quickly inquired about the news from the people in the Yang family's courtyard, and immediately reported back to Chen Yunan. Chen Yunan thought for a moment and said, "Send two people to keep an eye on this Mrs. Qi!" ”

The lieutenant said, "My lord, are we making a bit of a fuss?" The Duchess of Guo returned to her hometown for funeral, what is there to see? ”

Chen Yunan said: "Otherwise, we have been squatting under Cimu Mountain for so long, and what useful pain points have we gotten?" They are on vacation in the countryside, and they have no contact with outsiders, so there is nothing to check, Fuguo Gong went to Susong, and someone followed, and he didn't find anything in Shandong, but where did the clues come from? Isn't it just casting a net everywhere, in case you find a little useful tool, you can peel off the cocoon, and you can open a big curtain! ”

Chen Yunan smiled gloomily and said, "Brother, a lot of big fish, that's how they were caught!" ”

He thought about it, shook his head again, and said: "No, it's better for you to take someone to stay in Cimu Mountain, it seems that there are no clues to take here for the time being, this official personally followed that Mrs. Qi to Shandong for a walk, maybe there will be an accident!" ”
