On May 23rd, the weather was gloomy.

Early in the morning, Wang Lanling was shouted and hurriedly went to the living room to meet people.

When Du Sheng saw Wang Lanling coming out, he quickly shouted, "Lord Wang! Last night it rained heavily in Xu's hometown all night, and this morning the flood came down from the mountain, and the village of 300 people was flooded! Fortunately, they evacuated early, but when they were counted after dawn, five old people still died. ”

After Wang Lanling heard this, he determined the general direction.

Xu's hometown is a subordinate place of the subordinate village in Heishui County, because it is very close to the mountains, and it is also a red alert area after the flood.

Wang Lanling said solemnly: "How is the situation now?" ”

Du Sheng replied quickly: "Now they are all staying in the shelter, before you according to your orders, a few dogs were tied to the head of the village, and people were sent to guard, and the Zhang Luo people who banged the gong and beat the basin before the water came down took refuge, and the valuable things of each family were also placed in the easiest place to take in advance, and when they heard the barking of dogs, everyone knew that they had run away." ”

Wang Lanling nodded, "How much has it been flooded so far?" ”

"There were three villages and one town in total, and the rain stopped when I came, so I don't know what happened now." Du Sheng came here overnight, and it was almost dawn when he arrived here.

Wang Lanling said: "You wait here first, drink a cup of hot water, and eat some food." ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Lanling said to the housekeeper: "Please inform Uncle Zhao, I will go to the county guard's mansion, and I will go back to Heishui County first, Rou'er, Miss Lu and Jin Ji will stay here first, and when I come back next time to pick them up, don't let them go back by themselves." ”

The housekeeper understood the seriousness of the matter, and quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, please rest assured, I will go and inform the old lady." ”

Wang Lanling quickly went to the county guard's mansion and told Yun Tiantian and the county governor about Heishui County.

Xia Mengbao said: "I already know about this matter, you go back to comfort the victims, I will be there later." ”

Wang Lanling didn't expect that the number one in the county would follow him back, and quickly said, "Yes!" Then the lower official will go back to Xu's hometown first, I don't know when the adults will arrive in Heishui County, and the lower official will hurry up and go back. ”

In addition to Yun Tiantian's few people, there were also a few people in Xia Mengbao's room.

Yun Tiantian represents some local people, Xia Mengbao is the overseer, and at the same time, he generally understands the big and small things in the county.

It's just that he rarely shows his head.

But at this time, everyone understands very well that if there is no such thing as opening a canal and discharging floods, there will be a great responsibility at that time.

Xia Mengbao said calmly: "You go back first, after the things here are arranged, I will naturally go over, just busy with you, don't care about me." ”

Wang Lanling agreed: "Yes, but do you still need to discuss it with the governor at that time?" ”

Although most of the people in Heishui County will now stand on Wang Lanling's side, as the county governor, after Xia Mengbao brought people over, no one dared to resist at that time, and this person represented the imperial court.

Xia Mengbao said lightly: "No need, I will lead troops over when I pass, those who know me will naturally know me, and those who don't know me will also know me." ”

Wang Lanling understood, and said: "Yes, the lower officials understand, let's go back to appease the subordinate people, everyone will definitely understand this incident, and there will be no trouble, which will affect the major affairs in the county." ”

"Let's go down." Xia Mengbao waved his hand.

Wang Lanling saluted, quickly turned around and left the large office.

After Wang Lanling left, Xia Mengbao looked at the door, "This kid is indeed shrewd." ”

Xia Mengbao's expression was very indifferent, and it didn't seem like he was complimenting.

The relationship between Yun Tiantian and Xia Mengbao is relatively harmonious, the two sides do not interfere with each other's powers, and some things will be discussed together, hello, hello, everyone.

After hearing Xia Mengbao's words, Yun Tiantian sighed and said, "This matter of water control should not be given to him." ”

Xia Mengbao also sees it this way, neither of them likes Wang Lanling.

The reason for not liking it is simple, this person is favored by the emperor.

It does not mean that the talents that the emperor admires, the rest of the people should appreciate together, which does not conform to objective laws.

If it weren't for Zhao Liyang's relationship, Wang Lanling would have been trapped by these two people.

In the civil bureaucracy, heterogeneity is the most vulnerable to exclusion, and the talents valued by the emperor are not an advantage in this circle.

Heishui County, Xu's hometown

Wang Lanling took a carriage directly from the county seat to Xu's hometown.

After getting out of the car, Wang Lanling saw the sewage on the edge of the village.

"Your Excellency!"

Jingfu, Wei Biao, Bugong, Tong Yue, Sun Li, Bian Shixiong and others were all here, and they quickly saluted after seeing Wang Lanling coming.

Wang Lanling walked to the junction of earth and water, looked at the village in front of him that was covered by heavy water, and asked, "How is the situation now?" ”

Bian Shixiong said: "When we came, the flood reached more than two meters away from the place where you stood, and now some of the houses in the village are still half flooded, some people are taking refuge in the bungalows, and some livestock and the like have been driven to the buildings, and the first floor is basically flooded. ”

Bu Gong also said: "My lord, the people who took refuge in the mountains did not sleep well all night, and they wanted to come back after dawn to see, and now some people have sneaked into the village and swam back to their homes to find things, and we are not manpower enough to stop them." ”

Wang Lanling looked at the water village that was mixed with soil and water and branches and leaves, and said fiercely: "After encountering it, you will be beaten directly with a stick!" If anyone dares to take advantage of the disaster to steal and do evil, he will be sentenced to death! ”

"Yes!" Several people agreed.

Wang Lanling doesn't give any room in this kind of thing, he doesn't have time to deal with the other party slowly, at this time, only killing one is the most effective means.

Those who dare to commit Lei Chi must be prepared to be killed.

"How's it going on the mountain?"

Bu Gong replied: "It has been checked, some roads and trees on the mountain have been washed away, and two cliffs have collapsed, but fortunately, there is no one living on the mountain, and it is not an official road, the damage is not serious, and the water accumulation cannot be seen for the time being, there is not much place on this mountain that can store water, and the water mainly comes from the mountains further south." ”

Wang Lanling thought for a moment and asked, "Where does the water go here?" What about the downstream? ”

Bu Gong explained:

"I went to Renhe Village, Zhangji Town, Xiaozhang Village, and Zhanglou in the north, and Zhanglou were all six-story buildings on the other side, and the water was just to the extent that it had just reached the threshold, and the other three places were flooded with more than a dozen families, and some went directly from the fields to the nearby river, and the water could go down tomorrow afternoon."

These days, Bugong has traveled all over the places below Heishui County, whether it is a place where people live or a place where rats can't climb up, he has investigated them one by one, faithfully completed the commission of Lord Xiao Wang, and found dozens of safe shelters for hundreds of thousands of people in Heishui County.

Wang Lanling has stockpiled a lot of instant noodles to cope with the current situation.

In addition to instant noodles, a large number of talents who have received simple technical education have also been prepared for a long time.

"Don't use the river water and well water here for the time being, Sun Li, you go and talk to the villagers who have taken refuge, there will be instant noodles shipped over in the afternoon, Jingfu, Bian Shixiong, you take someone to make a water purifier, be sure to be fast! There is still an urgent matter in the county! ”

Jingfu and Bian Shixiong both quickly agreed: "Yes!" ”

Wang Lanling looked at Bu Gong, "Bu Gong, follow me to visit the people affected by this disaster, and the rest of the people will do their own thing, let the order here be pacified as soon as possible, and select people who can take care of the villagers instead of us." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone is aware of the urgency at this time, not only the village in front of them, but also thousands of families are in danger!

The affairs in Heishui County are managed by Liu Fufeng, this time Xu's hometown is the first to be flooded, but it is definitely not the last, Wang Lanling must set an example, and let the people here set an example for the rest of the people who may be affected!

Once people's hearts are confused, it is difficult to integrate.
