Chapter 444: Levee Burst (3)

On the same night, Suining County Ya.

Miss Fang saw her father rushing into the vast rain curtain with heavily armed servants, and she was a little worried. According to what Fang Yong said just now, the group of gangsters on the embankment were so vicious and vicious that even Fang Yong and the officials dared to kill them, and there was nothing that could be done.

Father...... Father will be fine, right?

Speaking of which, he is just a scholar, a powerless civil official!

Probably seeing the paleness of Fang Wei's face, Fang Yong also knew that Fang Shangzu Fang knew that the county was extremely dangerous, but this was the duty of the fate of the imperial court. Even if it is used by another party to be the magistrate, when this kind of thing happens, it can only be irreversible.

couldn't bear to see Miss Fang's expression, Fang Yongqiang raised his spirit and said: "Miss, don't worry so much, no matter how cruel the villain is, does he dare to do anything to the master, they want to rebel, aren't they afraid that the court will know about the three clans that punished them?" ”

Doing it to a county lord is a big crime of rebellion.

Hearing Fang Yong say this, Fang Wei felt a little relieved.

She walked back into the house and poured herself a cup of tea, trying to moisten her throat, which was already dry and almost smoking. She has a habit of getting her throat dry when she's nervous.

But because he was so nervous, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and the tea kept 'swinging' out of the cup and fell on the poem written by the magistrate above the case.

Fang Wei grew up watching Fang Yong, Fang Yong has no children and no daughters, although he is Miss Fang's seventh uncle and father-in-law, but in his mind, he regards Fang Wei as his daughter.

Seeing that Fang Wei was nervous like this, Fang was also sad in his heart. He was terribly dizzy from blood loss. But at this moment, I can't help but talk to her with my spirit.

If this person is nervous, you have to talk to her and distract her.

Seeing that the tea fell on the paper, Fang Yong glanced at it and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a new poem written by the master, wonderful, wonderful." His old fingers swiped on the paper: "Miss, look at this sentence, the most is the north and south of the throat, Guan Liang drives the torrent day and night, and writes the throat of the Qingjiang Pu canal and the shape of the traffic between the north and the south to live." The old man is worthy of being born in two lists, and this poem is written with high spirits, not allowing Sun and Yang. ”

The Sun and Yang in Fang Yong's mouth are naturally the two great talents of this dynasty, Sun Dan and Yang Shen.

Hearing Fang Yong mention Sun Dan, Fang Wei came to his senses, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Daddy's poetry and articles are naturally good, but compared to Sun Dan, they are still much worse." I also told my father about it, Sun Dan's sentence 'Luohong is a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers', hey...... I don't know what kind of character can write such lingering and sympathetic verses? ”

Speaking of this, Fang Wei felt a little stupid: "If you can see Sun Dacai, it will not be in vain to come to this world." Fang Wei's body is also broken, and he knows that his life is not long, and he only hopes to see him before he dies. ”

Seeing Fang Wei say this, Fang Yong didn't feel a little sad, and comforted: "Miss, didn't Mr. Li say that your illness only needs to be carefully recuperated, and it may not be impossible to live forever...... Hey, the rain seems to have stopped. ”

Fang Wei was still immersed in Sun Dan's poems, but he didn't notice that the rain outside had stopped, and muttered: "Lianzhong Sanyuan, the champion of the Ming Dynasty, must be a character as wandering as Qin Guan and Liu Yong." I don't know when I'll be able to see him? However, there is a saying among the ancients that it is like not seeing each other. The person who can be the champion in the jinshi, which one is not a cold window for decades. Just my father, I didn't get into it until I was in my thirties, and I got the future of Jinshi when I was almost forty. Come to think of it, Sun Dan must be an old man this year. Since ancient times, talented people have been like beauties, and they do not let the world see white heads. ”

Fang Yong's head was dizzy, and his eyes were a little glazed, but he still forced his spirit and smiled: "Since ancient times, beauties have been like heroes, and they don't let the world see white heads, how come they have become talented in your mouth?" In fact, the young lady was wrong, Sun Danzhong was only sixteen years old when he was raised, and he was only eighteen when he was the champion, but now, he is only a young man in his early twenties. ”

"Silk!" Miss Fang's face suddenly turned rose, full of excitement, and she couldn't help asking, "Uncle, this Sun Dan must be a handsome young man." ”

Fang Yong didn't know Miss Fang's thoughts. Miss Fang has been in the boudoir for so many years, and she is determined to marry the talented young man Langjun. It's just that she can't do it, although Mr. Li said that if she is well cared for, she can live for many years, but who can say this kind of period. Therefore, Fang Zhixian didn't think about finding a mother-in-law for Miss.

However, which girl does not have a spring, this is also a natural law.

Fang Yong said: "My Ming Dynasty elected officials have certain requirements for the appearance of officials, and those with ugly appearances cannot be officials. That Sun Dan is the champion, and he is the editor of the Hanlin Academy who is with His Majesty, and he must be a beautiful man with extraordinary appearance. ”

Miss Fang's face turned redder: "That's for sure." ”

Fang Yong said again: "Speaking of this Sun Jingyuan, in fact, he is a person who doesn't like to be in the limelight on weekdays, and he only serves by the emperor's side on weekdays, and he doesn't interact with courtiers much. Therefore, not too many people have seen him, and they don't know what he looks like. But you don't have to worry about it, miss. I heard that Sun Dan is coming to Huai'an soon. ”

"Ah, Sun Dan is coming to Huai'an?" Miss Fang let out a low snort.

Fang Yong nodded: "I heard that the imperial court sent him to Nanzhili to inspect the provincial school administration, and presided over the government examination of Huai'an Mansion by the way. ”

"Come to Suining, come to Suining!" Miss Fang's eyes were busy with a sparkling light.

Fang Yong smiled and said, "Actually, when the time comes, it is estimated that the young lady will be disappointed." ”

Fang Wei was a little surprised: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Fang Yong replied: "Miss loves that kind of beautiful and timeless writing, and I have also read a lot of Sun Jingyuan's writing. In fact, Sun Dan's poetry and articles are majestic and magnificent, and I guess you won't like it either. For example, he wrote a song about Laoshan when he passed through Laoshan on his way south this time, but it is not the kind you love deeply. ”

"Oh, Sun Jingyuan has a new work again, think about the New Year." Fang Wei was pleasantly surprised.

Fang Yong cleared his throat and read: "Laoshan is nine thousand zhang from the ground, and Cui Wei is pressing Qi Zhidong. Look down at the sun and moon in the sea, and connect to the vitality of Hongmeng. ”

"Good!" Before Fang finished reading, Miss Fang cheered loudly: "The momentum is 'forced' people, and you can't do it unless you are a husband." Uncle, you continue. ”

"The secret cave of the secluded rock is difficult to form, and the smoke comes to a thousand peaks. Hualou collects the mountain scenery alone, and the ring is full of appearance. There is the most powerful giant peak, and there is no trace of hazel for several years. The mountains are not extreme, and the ravines are connected. ”

Miss Fang cheered, and her eyes seemed to be dripping: "Who said that I don't like that kind of majestic poetry and articles, then others must be able to write it!" In my opinion, if I am a literati in the court, if I do clear and graceful poetry, it can also be eye-catching. But once he writes something like Lao Shange, he doesn't have Sun Jingyuan's mind and bearing, and he naturally moans without illness. Okay, good, Sun Jingyuan is worthy of a generation of Wenzong! ”

Sun Danruo was here, and when he heard Miss Fang's praise, he was afraid that he would be ashamed. In fact, this prison song is also plagiarized. Copied from Gu Yanwu's poem of the same name. That was when he was passing through Shandong, he was itching to climb Laoshan for a while, but he was known by the magistrates and literati of Laoshan Mountain, and they all ran over to meet, and asked Sun Dan to give a poem, which could be engraved on the Namo Cliff as an eternal memorial.

Sun Dan also had no choice but to take out this poem to resist.

Gu Yanwu's poems naturally have nothing to say, just this Lao Mountain Song can be described as the first peak of Ming poetry.

"Yun is Lao Tzu once passed here, and then there was Jibei Huangshi Gong. So far, it has been called a god's house, and it has left the fairy palace with a high structure. I heard that Dongyue Taishan is the largest, and Emperor Yu looks at the Qin Emperor. It goes straight for more than 1,000 miles to the east, and the mountain shape is endless and void. Since then, a mountain has laid the right of the sea, and it is completely in the world. The other islands are incalculable, and there are many fish and dragons. The Eight Gods Shrine is in it, and it is often a chess game with gold and bronze. ”

Fang Yong was still reading slowly, but Miss Fang saw that the cold hair on the back of his neck stood up.

Not only Fang Yong, but even Miss Fang's heart was so overwhelmed by this majestic poem that she couldn't breathe, and she only felt that the Great Wall of Seven Words seemed to be turning over the entire East China Sea, and everything was going to be overturned.

Thinking of this, suddenly, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.

Fang shook his body, his face became snow-white, and the gauze on his forehead was covered with blood again: "It's fried, it's fried!" ”

Miss Fang Weifang also realized that it was not good, and screamed: "Daddy! "I'm going to run out of the house.

Fang grabbed Miss Fang with a handful: "Don't go, don't go, the embankment is about to collapse, Miss, run for your life!" ”

"Daddy, Daddy!" Fang Wei was still screaming, but tears poured out like a spring.

At this time, as the explosion fell, there was a dull rumbling of water. It grew louder and louder, and in the end, all the sound was muffled.

The people in the city probably also noticed that something was wrong, and thousands of chaotic voices rang out: "The flood is coming, the flood is coming!" ”

"Help!"

"Run!"

Fang Yong was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Miss, when is it, this water has come down, how can I go to find the master?" Hurry up, pack up, let's escape. ”

Miss Fang still refused to give up, and grabbed the door frame with her hand: "Uncle let go, I'm going to find my father." ”

Fang attacked his heart with a sharp fire, tilted his head, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Fang Wei hurriedly helped Fang Yong up: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Tears couldn't stop falling on Fang Yong's face.

Fang Yong woke up suddenly, weakly struggling to get up from the ground: "Miss, don't make trouble, quickly pack up your things, let's escape first, and then find a chance to fight with the master later." ”

Only then did Fang Wei calm down, nodded, and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll go and prepare." With that, he hurried back to the back room.

At this time, the sound of the water and the cries for help outside were louder, "The wall of the north gate has collapsed, go to the south!" ”

Fang Yong only felt that the time was so long, and he was so anxious to go around the room.

Suddenly, Miss Fang had already changed into a Confucian robe, and ran out with a package in her hand: "Uncle, where are we going?" "The robes on her body belong to her father, and there is already a lot of water outside, so I don't know what it will look like. She was originally a weak female streamer, and she was born with a beautiful appearance, if she ran out so rashly, she didn't know what would happen.

Therefore, she still changed into men's clothes, and cleaned up some soft things in a mess, and then ran out.

Fang Yong opened his mouth, and was just about to reply, when he let out a "Boom!" "As soon as it arrived, the turbidity current broke the courtyard wall. The two-meter-high wave crashed into the house in an instant.

Fang Wei only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything. I only felt the ferocious force lift myself up and crash backwards.

I don't know what she hit, she just felt that the vest was in unbearable pain, and she almost fainted. I wanted to open my mouth and scream, but when my mouth opened, a cold river water poured in.

As soon as she tried to poke her head out of the water, her eyes lit up, and the fresh control poured into her mouth and nose, and she came to her senses. When she looked down, she turned out to be in a panic just now, and she happened to hold on to a large wooden beam and roll the water out.

Looking back, the water had already reached the roof, and the entire Suining City had been swallowed up by the flood.

Miss Fang was soaking wet and shivering with cold. However, I saw that the turbulent flood was rushing in front of me, and a large amount of debris was floating on the water, and there were not the victims swimming hard in the water.

"Uncle, uncle!" Fang Wei found that Fang Yong was gone, and he was so anxious that he shouted repeatedly.

But I screamed a few times, but I didn't hear anyone answer.

Could it be that the seventh uncle was also killed?

Thinking of Fang Zhixian who didn't know life and death at the moment, Miss Fang's heart ached, and she couldn't help crying loudly: "Daddy, daddy, seventh uncle, where are you?" ”

He was crying heavily, when suddenly, a hand stretched out from the yellow water in front of him and grabbed it fiercely on the wooden beam. Because of the excessive force, the wooden beam rolled, and Miss Fang almost fell into the water, and she couldn't help screaming loudly.

"It's me, it's me." The owner of that hand poked his head out of the water, but not only for it, but for whom.

Fang Wei was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but choke: "Uncle, I thought you were ......"

"It's okay, I can't die yet." Blood kept gushing out of the gauze on Fang Yong's head, and it was still dazzling red in the moonlight: "But...... Looks like I won't be able to support it for long. Fang Yong felt that his body was so soft that he couldn't help but close his eyes several times.

"Uncle, you have to persevere, if you leave, what will I do?" Miss Fang cried even louder.

Fang Yong's face turned blue, obviously unable to support it. His body knew that he had been washed by the water for a long distance just now, and he didn't know how many hard objects he had hit, and his body was hot and painful, and he must have suffered extremely serious internal injuries. If it had been someone else, he would have died in the water. But he was relieved not to be missed, and he stubbornly supported it until now.

Seeing Fang Wei crying, Fang shouted loudly: "Don't cry, I have something to say to you." ”

Miss Fang was stunned for a moment and quieted down.

Fang Yong gasped and vomited blood: "Miss, you have to listen to everything I say now." Depending on the situation, the old man's side is also more auspicious. The failure of the Yellow River's banks was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Just now, I didn't say a word because I was afraid that my lord would be worried. ”

Fang Wei had tears in his eyes: "Uncle, say it." ”

Fang Yong: "When I was on the embankment before, I met the villain surnamed Gan before and knew him. ”

Miss Fang was shocked: "Who is he?" ”

Fang Yong: "It's Gan Bida, the eunuch sitting in the hall of the Caoyun Yamen of the Nanhe River, and the celebrity under Huang Jin and Huang Gonggong." In the past, when I went to the river yamen on business, I saw him from afar. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said hurriedly: "There is a big problem with the Suining River defense project, this Gonggong Gan and Wang Shu ate black money in it and were sued by the imperial envoy." In order to hide the incriminating evidence, they blew up the embankment. As long as the embankment is blown away by the water, there is no evidence. ”

This sentence was really earth-shattering, and Miss Fang was speechless. After a long time, she cried out indignantly: "Crazy, crazy!" ”

Fang Yong shook his head sadly, "Gan Bida is a ruthless person, when he came to Nanhe, in order to rectify the order on the canal, he went on a killing spree, and the Cao Gang didn't know how many people died in his hands. Now, in order to protect himself, I am afraid that the master will also be broken in his hands. ”

"Daddy." Miss Fang began to cry again.

Fang Yong: "Don't cry, don't cry, listen to me." You should go to Huai'an to find Sun Dan immediately, now, Wang Shu and Gan Bi are embarrassed as 'traitors', if you want to bring them down, you can only go to Sun Jingyuan, and only he has the ability. ”

"Wang Shu, Ganbida!" Fang Wei almost crushed his teeth.

As soon as he finished saying this, suddenly, a large log collided fiercely with the current.

Fang Yong shouted: "Miss, be careful! With a force in his hand, he pushed Fang Wei and the wooden beam she was lying on her stomach away.

I saw that the big log just hit Fang's vest.

The poor Fang Yong didn't even have time to let out a scream, and he was pressed into the water by the whole log, and he could no longer see a human figure.

"Uncle, uncle!" Fang Wei shouted loudly. But what answered her was the sound of rumbling water, and all in front of her was a raging torrent.

She could do nothing, so she lay on a wooden beam, floating aimlessly with the current.

In the blink of an eye, she was floating out of the city.

Looking back, the entire Suining has become a Zeguo, and only the city tower at the south gate can be "exposed" out of the roof. In the moonlight, the ridge of the roof was also covered with the shadows of people like ants.

The water was so cold that it froze into the bone marrow.

At the beginning, Miss Fang was still crying loudly, but later, her voice was also hoarse, and she spit out a mouthful of thick blood.

Then there is an uncontrollable cough, coughing as if it is about to vomit out the heart and lungs.

She felt a chill in her heart, knowing that her tuberculosis had recurred.

I don't know how long it took or how far it drifted. At first, she was shivering with cold, but later, her body was completely numb and she didn't feel anything.

"Looks like I'm going to die here today. This Huangquan Road is so crowded, can you still find your father and uncle? Fang Wei's heart was really cold, his eyes were dark, and he fell into the water.

I don't know how long it took to float, my body seemed to hit something, and Fang Wei suddenly came to his senses.

At this time, someone above me was exclaiming: "Dongjia, it seems that he is still alive, and the scholar in the water has just moved." ”

An old man's voice sounded: "It can be seen that it is true. ”

"It's really real."

The proprietor: "Save him up, hey, it's probably a scholar from Suining." After this big flood, Suining's reading seeds were swept away, and I don't know how many people are alive. ”

A penny stretched out: "Study, hold on." ”
