The situation in Wanzhou is far more serious than imagined.

The state official had long known that Qi Yuan was coming, and he didn't know when he would come to him.

"Prince, this is the observer here, and he is usually in charge of the celestial phenomena and meteorology in the state." The observer was appointed only by the governor himself, and it is estimated that he obtained the name himself.

However, this so-called observer was indeed sent by the imperial court.

"What's going on here? Earthquake? ”

The land in Wanzhou is severely cracked, and some even have deep cracks, crisscrossing the ground.

The houses have long been in ruins, and the whole area exudes desolation.

It's as if the whole world has gone gray.

"Back to the prince, judging from the signs of the geokinetic instrument, it is an earthquake." The observer lowered his head and bent his waist slightly, as respectful as he was.

The emperor did not tell Qi Yuan that there was an earthquake in this place, and originally Qi Yuan thought that there were a few gusts of wind.

This earthquake looks very serious.

"What about the casualties now?" Qi Yuan's eyes were still on the ruins, but he was asking the governor.

"Back to the prince, there are currently 68 injured people, and more than 40 dead and missing." The posture of the governor and the observer is the same, and there is no ambiguity in the proclamation.

In fact, he was still very unconfident when he spoke.

"What is the geodynamic machine used for? Since there were already warnings, why were there so many casualties? And those who are missing, what do you mean? ”

Qi Yuan listened to his respectful tone, and the words he spit out made his heart cool down a little.

Wanzhou is not a big place, there were frequent earthquakes here in the past, as long as the young and rich people have long since moved away, and now only some old people and poor people remain.

Originally, there were not many people left, and there were still so many casualties, and it is estimated that Wanzhou will also be greatly injured this time.

In fact, Qi Yuan knew in his heart that if he said that he was missing, he was actually dead.

Where can the missing go?

The governor also began to be speechless, and he was indeed responsible for the death of so many people in the place he managed.

What's more, the geodynamic instrument really had an early warning at that time, but he still thought that this time was the same as before, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, which led to this result.

He knew that it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't explain too much.

Qi Yuan also knew it in his heart, not to mention that those old people were also very stubborn, and they were unwilling to leave their original house.

Such a result is unavoidable.

Qi Yuan sent an observer to return to the dynasty with the geodynamic instrument first.

Observers were sent before the earthquake happened, but it turned out that nothing was going to happen, and now it is still going to be recovered.

The number of geodynamic instruments in the entire country can be measured by hand, and Qi Yuan can't let it be put here to waste resources.

At least not yet.

The observer will definitely be punished by the emperor after returning to the dynasty, but Qi Yuan doesn't care about this.

"Is there paper and pen here?" Qi Yuan suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes, yes." The governor hurriedly responded, for fear of snubbing the prince, and then turned around to test his eyes and sent someone to get paper and pen.

He wrote two letters on the spot on the border of Wanzhou.

One is the truth, the people are struggling to survive, the houses have collapsed, and the number of casualties is all reported in a real way.

The other letter should have been Qi Yuan's own nonsense. There was a minor earthquake in Wanzhou, only a few houses collapsed, there were almost no casualties, and the people have now been divided into camps.

The first letter was sent to the emperor, and Qi Yuan had to repay it truthfully, otherwise he would become a bully.

What's more, Wanzhou is like this, and Changzhou must be more serious. Both of these places are waiting for the next step of the imperial court's supplies.

The second letter was sent to Yin Qingqi, Qi Yuan didn't know what to think, in fact, he wanted to arrive here earlier, but also to make Yin Qingqi worry less for a while.

In this case, she can always sleep soundly, right?

The moment Qi Yuan put down the pen, he took a deep breath, he said that he was panicked a lot, he used to be red and his heart was not beating, but today he really felt breathless.

It must be a problem with the environment here, right? Qi Yuan comforted himself.

He immediately sent someone to repay the army he had brought, bringing the prepared food and distributing it to the homeless people in the streets.

These people have no home left, or they just haven't found their families yet.

In Wanzhou, the earthquake has been happening for several days, and it stands to reason that if it is still not found, it proves that the person may no longer be there.

Qi Yuan knew that he knew it in his heart, and others must have it in their hearts. Most people just don't want to believe it.

Those people had already been assigned to the aid station set up on the side of the road.

It's just a tent at any time.

Qi Yuan was busy with these things next.

Later, he simply entered Changzhou without telling the emperor.

Changzhou is also worthy of being the source, just by looking at the cracks in the ground, you can know that it is far deep.

As in Wanzhou, the people were evacuated to one place and provided with food and water on a daily basis.

The soldiers sent by Qi Yuan are already working on the reconstruction of the house, and their literacy is also extremely high, and they basically know everything.

Occasionally, Qi Yuan would go up and take a hand when he had nothing to do, so that the officials in those places would be embarrassed to stand on the sidelines, and they would all get involved.

After a few days, Qi Yuan was also very happy.

He basically maintained the habit of writing a letter to the emperor and Yin Qingqi every day, one in order to understand the truth, and the other in order to feel more at ease.

It's just that Qi Yuan never received a reply.

He knew that what he sent to Huang Ama should be treated as a memo, or even if it was a letter sent by him personally, it was estimated that Ama would not care too much.

What's more, he didn't plan to receive a letter from his Amma in the first place.

He was looking forward to receiving news from Yin Qingqi, even if she sent a letter with only a "good" word written on it.

I just let myself know that she received it.

Yin Qingqi did receive it, but she didn't feel the need to reply, and she didn't know what to say at all.

It's good that she understands it in her own heart, why do she want Qi Yuan to know?

Yin Qingqi thought about it, but she didn't plan to reply.

She didn't know how much Qi Yuan valued her.

Yin Qingqi felt that Qi Yuan's words were half-true, until a few days later, she suddenly heard a little about Wanzhou Changzhou and the crown prince.

What a Qi Yuan. Could it be that she lied to her from beginning to end?

However, what Yin Qingqi heard was not a good thing.

She didn't wait for the real situation in the disaster area, what she waited for was rumors from the top and bottom of the court inside and out.

The emperor wants to change the crown prince.
