Chapter 281: Whereabouts Unknown
When the right minister learned that the food was snatched up by the refugees, he immediately entered the palace to face the saint and talk about it, and afterwards the saint ordered Yu Tian to lead the troops to cross the river!
With Yu Tian bringing thousands of officials to come, those refugees don't dare to do anything wrong no matter how bold they are, this matter is not over, they arrested all the refugees outside Shangcheng, and let the boss recognize people afterwards!
"That's right, it's him, he led the way to grab the food that day!" The boss looked at the man who was squatting aside and burying his head and said!
It was a man in his early thirties, and the reason why the boss could remember him was that he was dressed in blue clothes, and he didn't look like a refugee, he was very clean!
Hearing this, Yu Tian nodded, raised his chin at his own person, and the two officials walked over to the man and stretched out their hands to set the man up!
"What are you doing here?" Although a man is long and strong, how can he be compared with the cronies who follow Yu Tian's side?
Yu Tian looked at this person and said. "Take it away!"
"Let go of me, you let me go quickly, do you know who I am, and dare to treat me like this!" After the man finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth, and when he saw Yu Tian turn his head and glance at him, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said. "I'm just a refugee, I'm just hungry!"
Yu Tian smiled and didn't make a sound, judging from the person's clothes, he was not a refugee, and listening to his accent, it looked like the accent of the capital!
The other refugees saw that the person was taken away by the official, and no one dared to speak out, for fear that the next person to be taken away would be themselves, Yu Tian looked at them and said. "All are in peace, if they are restless. Don't say you have food, I'll put you in prison and eat yourself! ”
"Yes, yes, I'll find out, and there's no next time!" Everyone immediately responded!
"That's it, this daughter of Chunnong tried her best to send food to feed you people, but she also injured her people, if it weren't for the kindness of Chunnong's daughter, according to the character of this official, how would she spare you!"
"Thank you, my lord, thank you Chunnong's daughter!" Everyone fell to their knees. Say in unison!
Yu Tian nodded. After saying a few words, he went to Yucheng, and Zhang Liang also went back with the boss!
"Lord Yu, fortunately you are here, if not. The refugees in Yucheng are going to go hungry! Xu Zi watched Yu Tian come in. Nod at him and smile!
Yu Tian smiled. Stretched out his hand and patted Xu Zi's shoulder, and said. "Don't say that, I'm here on orders. The daughter of Chunnong has done such good deeds, and the Holy Majesty has greatly appreciated her! After Yu Tian finished speaking, he remembered what he said about Xu Zi, and looked at him. By the way, the water under this Yucheng is almost soaking the soles of his shoes, won't he move all the people in Yucheng to Shangcheng in a few days? ”
Xu Zi nodded and said. "It must be moved over, although Shangcheng is bigger than Yucheng, but there are many people in Yucheng, and when I go to Shangcheng, I am afraid that it will be crowded and even have no place to stay!"
"This matter has to be considered in the long run, if it is not possible to move from city to city, and I don't know when the rain will stop, it would be good if the water that crossed the river receded!"
But things often come so quickly, the promotion of crossing the river was flooded earlier, and with the heavy rain, that night, the water flooded to Yucheng, and the people sleeping under the eaves of the street could not sleep!
Xu Zi was busy until midnight, and not long after he lay down to rest, he was awakened by a quick knock on the door!
"Lord Xu, it's not good, the gate in the east of the city has been washed open, and now many people have brought the water down!" On the east side of the city, Xu Zi knew that the piece was connected to the river that crossed the river, and after hearing this, Xu Zi hurriedly took his clothes and put them on, and hurriedly went out!
When Xu Zi took people to the east of the city, the gate in the east of the city was gone, and he heard his subordinates say that they were brought down by water, and many people didn't rest at this time, there was no place to rest!
"Girl, my daughter"
"This lady, don't cry, everyone has rushed down, if you are still next to the river, when the water comes up, I will have to take you down!" Several people looked at the crying woman who was out of breath and felt sour, and couldn't help but persuade!
The woman couldn't listen to this, and knelt by the river soaking wet, Xu Zi walked over with an oil umbrella and said. "This lady, you should get up first, this place is not right!"
When the woman heard this, she looked at Xu Zi, and the whole person threw herself at him, saying. "It's all you who are officials, if you open the city gate, where do we still need to take it in Yucheng, my daughter is still young, this year is just in time, and she hasn't found a husband for her, it's so gone"
Xu Zi didn't think that this woman would suddenly pounce on herself, and she was thrown to the ground unguardedly, but the woman was pulling Xu Zi like crazy, which was next to the river, and almost fell into the river!
"Let go of me, you all let go of me, I'm not alive, my daughters are gone, I'm still alive to do anything!" The woman was pulled away by several people, Xu Zi was soaked, stood up, looked at the crazy woman, and felt bad in his heart!
At this moment, Xu Zi vaguely heard someone shouting for help, suddenly stopped, and walked towards the bridge that had been washed away!
"Help me!" Xu Zi heard this clearly, and looked at the stake, there was really a person, and he was anxious, so he said. "Quick, get the rope!"
After listening to Xu Zi's words, his subordinates hurriedly went to find the rope, but where can they go to find the rope now, Xu Zi was anxious, the woman seemed to see something, shook off the person who pulled herself, and ran over to this side, now the sky is still dark, and she can't see who the person in the river is!
"Girl, girl"
"Mother, save my mother" The woman heard that she was her own daughter, and she was about to jump into the river in a hurry, Xu Ziyan quickly grabbed her and said. "The water in the river is so fast, you can't save her if you go down now!"
Mo is this elderly woman, even Xu Zi himself did not dare to go down to the river easily!
The man went to look for the rope for a while and did not come back, the girl grabbed the stake, the water in the river was flowing more and more rapidly, the girl was also afraid, and shouted in her mouth!
"My lord, please, hurry up and save my daughter, I beg you!" The woman knelt in front of Xu Zi, grabbed his leg and prayed, and Xu Zi helped her up and said. "Don't worry, this official will definitely save her!"
Waiting for his subordinates to find a rope, the sky was slightly bright, seeing that the water in the river was getting faster and faster, Xu Zi tied the rope to himself, let many people on the shore pull it, and then slid into the river, fortunately, the bridge is gone, and the wooden stake is still there!
Everyone looked at this, and their hearts were all pinched, and just when Xu Zi was about to grab the girl's hand, a rushing wave washed Xu Zi's whole person down!
Even the people who pulled the rope on the shore were taken to the river, and in this area, the rope in everyone's hands left their hands!
"My lord, my lord" The cronies who followed Xu Zi's side, seeing that the rope was about to fall into the river, hurriedly grabbed it, and even he fell down by himself, and then sank in under the stunned eyes of everyone!
Chen Chunhua, who was in Zhaojia Village, had just stood up, and suddenly fainted in front of him, which frightened the eldest and third.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" The third child picked up Chen Chunhua and entered the house, and Shunzi hurriedly called Lang Zhonglai, checked Chen Chunhua's pulse, and said. "I'm afraid that Chunhua is tired for a while, it's nothing, and the rest will be done!"
"Lang Zhong, is it really okay?"
Xiao Langzhong nodded and said. "It's really nothing!"
But the eldest and the third still felt that the letter was not good, and looked at Xiaolang Zhongdao after half a ring. "Xiaolangzhong, is my daughter-in-law here?" Isn't it the same when my daughter-in-law was pregnant with rice and millet last time?
"How can it be so fast, the spring flowers gave birth to rice and millet, if they are conceived so quickly, their own bodies can't stand it!" Xiao Langzhong stood up as he spoke, prescribed medicine, and said. "Let her rest well!"
As soon as Lang Zhong left, Chen Chunhua frowned, suddenly opened his eyes, and broke out in a cold sweat, the boss was also frightened by Chen Chunhua's reaction, and said. "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Big brother, I dreamed that something happened to Xu Zi!" Chen Chunhua was very flustered, and the boss wiped Chen Chunhua's sweat and said. "You are a dream, you can't do it, it's a good life to rest, and I will take care of the food with the third child!"
Chen Chunhua nodded, the panic in her heart couldn't be suppressed, she watched the boss go out, and then got out of bed, she had never dreamed like that, what's wrong?
The girl was rescued, but Xu Zi and his followers were washed away by the water! When Yu Tian and Zhou Tianmiao got the letter, they hurried over, where could they still find the slightest figure of Xu Zi, so that people who knew water went into the water to salvage, and went along the river to find it, but they still didn't find it!
"Lord Yu, just withdraw the people, Lord Xu is afraid that this will be" Without waiting for Zhou Tianmiao to finish speaking, Yu Tian glared at him and roared. "I will find him, I will see people alive and dead and corpses!" As a brother, Yu Tian is certainly uncomfortable in his heart, but if he can't find Xu Zi, how can he explain to Chunnong's daughter?
Zhou Tianmiao didn't mind being like Yu Tian, and patted him on the shoulder. "Did you send someone to inform Chunnong's daughter about this?"
"Don't talk about this matter first, let's hide it first, if Xu Zizhen is" Yu Tian didn't finish speaking, he couldn't say it, and then walked out of Lu!
The rain that has been falling has stopped after two days, and the water in Yucheng has receded in only half a day, and other flooded counties have not!
Later, the third child sent food to this side, but he did not enter Yucheng, and when he arrived in Xuancheng, the food was given to Zhou Tianmiao!
Xu Zi was washed away by the water and his whereabouts are unknown, and the matter was reported to the imperial court, and Xu Zi's entourage, on the afternoon of the second day, saw the body downstream!
However, the imperial court did not inform Chen Chunhua of this matter, first, although the rain of crossing the river stopped, the refugees still relied on Chen Chunhua to send food, and second, if Chen Chunhua knew about the unknown whereabouts of Xu Zi, it would be inappropriate!
