Chapter 722: Coming to Tianjiang
Early in the morning, the carriage galloped down the road, and puffs of dust were stirred up under the horses' hooves.
Jiang Yingxue rushed to Tianjiang with a group of people, and saw many refugees along the way, all of whom looked at each other puzzled.
The fertile fields were empty, even the channels were washed away, and everywhere there was a desolate and depressed scene.
Seeing the devastated Tian Jiang, Jiang Yingxue frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is even more serious than what was reported, let's go to Lord Zhao first." ”
The consultant quickly got into the car, he had just observed, and wanted to find the source as soon as possible to divert the water away.
The carriage went up the river in the crowd, and the crease between Jiang Yingxue's eyebrows deepened, and she couldn't help but hate Tian Jiang's officials.
The coachman looked around, defeated everywhere, and turned around and said, "Madam, the little one can't find Lord Zhao's mansion." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yingxue got out of the car, stepped on the wet land, and asked the woman in a coarse cloth shirt: "Folks, do you know where Lord Zhao's mansion is?" ”
The woman raised her empty eyes, and the dark eyes crossed with amazement, like a meteor that passed away in a blink of an eye, and kindly reminded: "You are strangers, Tianjiang has been ruined, you better not go." ”
After saying this, the woman took up her burden on the ground and went out again.
Jiang Yingxue chased after her, her snow-white shoes were covered with mud, and she said with a firm look in her eyes: "We are about to go to find the mansion of Lord Zhao Zhao Mingli, can you tell us?" ”
Zhao Mingli must be found in this wasteland, and Jiang Yingxue planned carefully to dock the situation.
Seeing Jiang Yingxue so resolute, the woman sighed lightly, pointed to the tall building in the distance, and said with hatred in her eyes: "Under this tall building is Zhao Mingli's mansion, I advise you not to deal with this kind of person, he has no conscience." ”
Without waiting for Jiang Yingxue to thank her, the woman carried a huge burden and walked out step by step.
Looking at the crowd in the distance, Jiang Yingxue was filled with grief for a while, turned back to the carriage, and guided the coachman towards the tall building.
The carriage was parked on the high ground, sandbags were piled up outside the mansion, and there were people stationed at the door, which could be seen in the magnificence of the mansion.
When Jiang Yingxue got out of the car, the consultant came up and whispered: "Most of the people have fled and will not go far, and they will return to their hometowns when the flood leaves." ”
Jiang Yingxue nodded, took out the order from her sleeve, and then turned around and instructed: "Baicao, you and Chang Ning are in the carriage, be cautious." ”
Receiving a response, Jiang Yingxue walked quickly to the door, but before she could get closer, she was stopped by the guards with a knife, and shouted: "This is Lord Zhao's mansion, stay away from here." ”
Jiang Yingxue was annoyed, took a step back, and asked gently: "I have something important to discuss with Lord Zhao, I don't know if Lord Zhao is in the house?" ”
The guards looked up and down, remembered Zhao Mingli's order, and wanted to give the comer a dismissal, and immediately put on a straight face and said: "My lord is busy with floods every day, how can I have time to chat with you, leave quickly, or I will not be polite." ”
Looking at the guard's arrogant appearance, Jiang Yingxue also generally knew what Zhao Mingli was like.
Seeing Jiang Yingxue being scolded like this, Linglong's apricot eyes widened, and she shouted angrily: "My wife was sent by the emperor to control the flood, if it weren't for Lord Zhao's incompetence, my wife would not have come to such a place." ”
Saying that, Linglong hugged his arms and snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes.
"You, how can anyone talk like you." The guard put down the long knife and pointed at her to scold, obviously lacking confidence, and said in a deep voice, "The little one doesn't know, and the one who doesn't know is not guilty, so spare the little one." ”
Jiang Yingxue had no intention of worrying with the guards, waved her hand, stared at him coldly, and asked, "Where is Lord Zhao?" ”
Thinking of Lord Zhao's good deeds, the guard's eyes rolled brightly, and he smiled and said, "The adult is in the house, and the little one will report it now." ”
Seeing that the guards didn't care in their eyes, obviously despising themselves, Jiang Yingxue's eyes were sharp, and she stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "When will I arrive, won't Lord Zhao know?" ”
The people nearby are struggling to survive, and Lord Zhao is enjoying himself somewhere, Jiang Yingxue narrowed her eyes.
The guards were stunned, Jiang Yingxue stepped forward, pressing step by step, her eyes were cold and bone-longing, and she shouted: "Everyone is in danger, but Lord Zhao lives in the mansion, and he is busy with floods every day." ”
Cold sweat flowed down the guard's face, and he didn't dare to breathe more, but he didn't expect Jiang Yingxue's momentum to be so strong, and he was speechless for a while.
"It's been a while, Lord Zhao still doesn't know, if the flood comes, can he still command the people to take refuge?" Jiang Yingxue's face became gloomy little by little, knowing that Zhao Mingli didn't take her in his eyes at all, so she didn't want to keep her well.
Jiang Yingxue's words were struck on the dot word by word, so that the guards around her couldn't refute it, and lowered their heads in shame.
"Why is Mrs. Liu so angry, the official has just received the letter, don't blame Mrs. Wang." Zhao Mingli ran out of the mansion, his facial features were huddled together, showing a flattering smile, and stopped in front of Jiang Yingxue.
Zhao Mingli took a closer look, couldn't help but praise again and again, and said with admiration: "Mrs. Liu's reputation has long been spread, and today I see that this is really the case, and the recent floods have also disturbed the officials, which is embarrassing." ”
Jiang Yingxue's eyes were cold, she glanced at him lightly, and said indifferently: "At the moment, the matter of floods is still important, and the people have left one after another along the way, I don't know what Lord Zhao thinks." ”
is really a dog official, I am afraid that there are a lot of calculations in my heart, Jiang Yingxue's eyes are disdainful.
Zhao Mingli's eyes rolled, he bent his eyes, stretched out his hand to the mansion, and said appreciatively: "Mrs. Liu is really worried about the people, it is better to enter the mansion and talk about it in detail, so that the official can also see the order." ”
Jiang Yingxue knew that he was fighting for leadership, to see who had the most power, so that he could control himself, so he couldn't help but sneer.
Seeing that his plan was discovered, Zhao Mingli did not blush and heartbeat, but naturally ordered: "Hurry up and prepare a meal for Mrs. Liu, arrange for Mrs. Liu to have a good rest, they have been on the road for a long time." ”
Zhao Mingli turned his head again, the little abacus in his heart made a loud noise, and reminded: "Mrs. Liu should enter the mansion, after all, this official is a magistrate, and he should also fulfill the responsibility of the host." ”
Saying that, Zhao Mingli bent down slightly and walked forward, very politely pleased.
Hearing the hint, Jiang Yingxue's face became gloomy, and she followed with a step, very cold to Zhao Mingli's enthusiasm, and said coldly: "I don't know what Lord Zhao thinks about this flood, I should also humbly ask my lord for advice." ”
Seeing Zhao Mingli taking him to the study, Jiang Yingxue's eyes crossed with contempt, and she directly took out the order in her sleeve, put the emperor's order for him to check, and said slowly: "Lord Zhao, don't worry." ”
Zhao Mingli's gaze couldn't help but drift upward, walked over with a smile, and said: "It's still Mrs. Liu's most disciplined person, these are all trivial things, this official just wants to feel at ease, and there is a rule for everything." ”
