Okay, and the thunder is accurate.

Tang Ningnan closed his eyes and frowned, but Feng Feihan was actually quite bearable, and he hadn't gotten angry yet.

At this time, Li Lanshi had already returned from inspecting the riverbank with the guards, and said something in Feng Feihan's ear.

Wu Guizhang watched Li Lanshi's movements and opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to hear what he said.

"Hmph, it's just the right time to come, let her come in and listen to their Sima family's good in-laws."

Li Lanshi was talking about Concubine Hua in Feng Feihan's ear.

Just now he took the people and horses out to inspect the gap, and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes walking the road from a distance, seeing that the clothes were not the dress of ordinary rich and noble people, but only suitable for use in the palace, Li Lanshi became vigilant and looked at it, isn't that a concubine? How did she get here?

And Concubine Hua got out of the carriage and was walking miserably, where did the emperor bring Tang Ningnan here? The ground was muddy, and I couldn't walk at all, so I knew that I would have made up for it.

When Li Lanshi saw it, she naturally couldn't ignore it, so she took her to the county office, leaving Fan Si alone to check the situation at the break.

After entering the county office, seeing Feng Feihan sitting on the top, Concubine Hua felt a sadness, and walked in front of him and saluted: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

Wu Guizhang raised his head violently, and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, the emperor? How can it be? Could it be that the emperor and the queen are sitting on this top?

But in fact, seeing this newly arrived woman dressed in a rich and noble dress that only exists in the palace, Wu Guizhang knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it, if the person in front of him was really the emperor, and he actually moved out of Prime Minister Sima to move out, trying to use him to suppress the emperor, he couldn't afford such a mistake.

Wu Guizhang knelt under the hall, already trembling.

"Hua Concubine, you came just in time." Feng Feihan said to the concubine who saluted below.

Thinking that the emperor was sincere and felt that she had come just right, Concubine Hua raised her head happily, hoping that the emperor could say a few more words of praise for her, but Feng Feihan opened her mouth with great sarcasm:

"This Wu County Commander claims to be related to Sima Guozhang, come and see, do you deny it."

Hua Concubine immediately changed her face and looked at Wu Guizhang angrily.

Only then did Wu Guizhang remember that Sima Bin's daughter, Sima Zhaohua, was the current emperor's concubine, and it was the woman standing next to him in front of him.

When this was over, Wu Guizhang's body trembled like chaff, secretly thinking about why he was so unlucky, and everything made him bump into it?

Concubine Hua swept Wu Guizhang's body up and down with her eyes, and said with extreme disgust: "What kind of rural village husband are you, this palace has never seen you, and you actually say that you have an in-law relationship with our Sima family, just because you are worthy of it?" ”

Wu Guizhang lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, Feng Feihan's face became even worse.

Wu Guizhang is not worthy of having an in-law relationship with the Sima family, but Concubine Hua is Feng Feihan's concubine, so he is worthy? But he is the lord of the country, does he need others to measure whether he is worthy or not?

Hua Concubine only said that Wu Guizhang and their Sima family were not worthy of in-laws, but they didn't say a word about him becoming Wu Guizhang and calling Sima Bin the national abbot, could it be that Sima Bin himself was used to calling himself, so Hua Concubine didn't feel strange.

Feng Feihan was already trying his best to restrain the anger in his heart.

And Concubine Hua was still forcing Wu Guizhang to answer, and under interrogation, Wu Guizhang finally told the truth, one of his cousins married to a subordinate who was on an errand in Sima Bin's house, so he lied that his family was in-law with Sima Bin.

Hua Concubine immediately reported to the emperor like the result of the interrogation, at this time Fan Si had already checked the early river embankment and came back, and told Feng Feihan that sure enough, as he expected, the river embankment in Meixian County cut corners, and the embankment in Meixian County was supposed to be five or six zhang high, but the one in Meixian County was only three zhang high, and the pouring was very sloppy, and many places were hollow, and such an embankment could not resist floods at all.

Moreover, Fan Si's voice became smaller and quieter, saying that Wu Guizhang said to the people of Meixian County that he did not repair the river embankment because the emperor did not allocate money from the treasury, and he could only blame the emperor, how could he influence the emperor's will as a local sesame petty official.

Feng Feihan listened to what Fan Si said, the anger in his heart was unbearable, water can carry a boat and overturn a boat, he is the most popular among the people, but Wu Guizhang swallowed the public silver privately, not to mention, but also said to the people that he Feng Feihan did not allocate funds, it is really bold.

So he slapped the table and got up, pointed at Wu Guizhang and reprimanded him sharply, "You, embezzled the public bank, delayed the repair of the river embankment, caused the flood to burst the embankment, and the people were displaced. ”

Tang Ningnan saw that the emperor was so angry, so he stood up and helped him and smoothed his chest for him.

It was really not worth the delay for such a local petty official, so Feng Feihan asked Huang Qi and Duan An to try Wu Guizhang in the county government, and he and Fan Si, Li Lanshi and others went to check the ruin.

Feng Feihan took Tang Ningnan out of the county government directly, and Concubine Hua looked at the two of them, dazed, and followed after thinking about it.

Although the flood water has receded, the current is still very fast, and the muddy yellow water is mixed with the wood used to build the houses.

The breach had been tightly blocked by the officers and soldiers here with sandbags, and only a small stream of water flowed out of the gap.

Some of the people whose houses were washed away built makeshift grass huts on slightly higher ground to keep out a little rain.

I don't know when there will be heavy rain again, and there is a possibility that the breach will burst again at any time, Van Si showed his identity as the governor of the river to the officers and soldiers, and took Li Lanshi and the guards to re-strengthen the breach.

Tang Ningnan was inevitably sad when he saw that these houses were washed away, and he thought that the houses were destroyed, and there was no water and rice until last night, so he distributed the dry food brought down from the carriage to several women with children in the nearest place.

From their mouths, they learned that the flood had actually erupted three days ago, but last night was bigger than the previous days.

From this point of view, it means that Wu Guizhang lied about the disaster, and the crime is added to the crime.

The place where the county government is located is a little higher, so people gather here, and some villages are flooded early in the morning, so there are people from various villages in Meixian County in this place, and many people have not eaten for three or two days.

"Didn't the Meixian county order provide grain for disaster relief?" Feng Feihan asked.

The woman shook her head, "Since the flood broke out, the county government has closed the gate, and the county order has never come out to check, but it has only sent officers and soldiers out to block the breach, and it is even more impossible to open a warehouse and put grain or something." ”

The expression on Feng Feihan's face became more and more solemn, "Is such a county order worthy of the position of an official of the imperial court?" I don't think he's worthy of a human being. ”

The woman looked at Feng Feihan who suddenly scolded the county order with a puzzled expression, seeing that it and the woman next to him were all dressed extraordinarily, thinking that it was not the people here, so who were they, who dared to openly scold the county order.

It will definitely not work to go on like this, and signaled to Feng Feihan to go back to the county government to find food to cook for the victims, and Feng Feihan nodded in agreement.

Looking at the back of Tang Ningnan leaving, thinking that it was indeed a right choice to bring her here, sometimes, she could think of things that she couldn't consider, Feng Feihan took care of the overall situation, Tang Ningnan filled in the small things, and the two of them dealt with it together, as if they could break through difficult things.

Tang Ningnan quickly returned to the county office, found Duan An, and asked Wu Guizhangmei where the grain used for disaster relief was placed.

Good guys, such a big house is stored with food, which is more than enough for the victims to eat, and some of them have been stored for a long time, and these days have been rainy for days, and they have become moldy, but Wu Guizhang actually held on to it, so that the people starved in vain.

"This corrupt official should be executed." Tang Ningnan muttered in his mouth while helping to carry the food he could move.

Duan An looked at Tang Ningnan, although she was the emperor's concubine, she was unambiguous, dressed very plainly, and had no complaints about doing this kind of heavy work, and secretly praised it in her heart, the queen chosen by the emperor was really virtuous.

Yes, Duan An, the governor who was temporarily called by Huang Qi and had never seen the queen and Xiao Guifei, regarded Tang Ningnan as the queen.

At this time, there was a coquettish voice, "What kind of smell?" Hua Concubine walked in from outside the door and fanned her nose with her hand, some of the grain was moldy, and the smell was naturally unpleasant.

Tang Ningnan frowned, why did Concubine Hua follow here again, wearing such clothes, Concubine Hua's actions were inconvenient at all, and when she stepped into the mud, there were a lot of mud spots splashed on her pale yellow skirt.

Ignoring Concubine Hua, Tang Ningnan continued to carry the grain, and told Concubine Hua not to get in the way.

"Sister, sister, I'm here to help." Hua Concubine said to Tang Ningnan.

said so, but where was Concubine Hua really willing to help? It's just that I just want to sit in front of Feng Feihan.

Tang Ningnan looked at her, it didn't look like she could do things, wouldn't it be more messy to let her help?

But if she wasn't allowed to do it, and he was afraid that she would make some other moths, he asked him to go to the kitchen to help the guards watch the porridge cook, which was an easy job.

When enough rice was moved, the kitchen also began to boil porridge, Tang Ningnan rushed to the kitchen again, watched the guards boil porridge, and now there are not enough people, so they can only let the guards who can cook cook porridge, Tang Ningnan also told them that they must wash the rice and not let the people eat unclean things, in this case, if they eat bad stomach again, it will not be good, said, and sat down in front of the stove to help light the fire.

Duan Anxin was shocked, this queen mother actually knew how to burn firewood? This is indeed not a difficult thing for Tang Ningnan, her grandmother's house is from the countryside, and she has always used firewood, and she herself likes to eat the meals cooked by firewood, which are much more delicious than the natural gas made in the city.

There are three stoves in total, and a large pot on each side, and two large pots of porridge should be enough for each of the victims outside.
