Chapter 713: The ship capsized

"The children are back in the cabin!" When Li Xiu saw the situation in front of him, he immediately ordered the children around him with a serious face, because the picture in front of him was really inappropriate for children. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, at this time, several children had already seen the situation in front of them, and the most daring Mian Niang had already gotten into his arms and didn't dare to come out, and the other girls also covered their eyes one by one, but Wu Mingkong was bold, not only was he not afraid, but he also looked forward with his eyes wide open, which was bolder than the two boys, Jin'er and Ping'anlang.

However, Li Xiu didn't want these children to see this, otherwise he would have nightmares at night, so he stood up directly and drove several children into the cabin, leaving only him and Li Ke on the deck, after all, Li Ke is older, and as a prince, he should increase his knowledge.

"Why did the husband drive the children back, and Mingkong Ke complained to us just now...... Ah~" At this moment, I suddenly saw Yi Niang walking out with a smile and asking, but before she finished speaking, she saw the situation on the river in front of her, and she couldn't help screaming in fright, and her pretty face was a little pale.

I don't blame Yi Niang for this, because I saw that on the river in front of me, there were corpses floating with the river everywhere, including men and women, and the elderly and children could be seen everywhere, and there must be hundreds of people at random, you must know that Yi Niang is not Princess Pingyang, and it is the first time she has seen so many dead people, so she is naturally frightened.

At this time, Princess Pingyang also walked out, followed by Yuechan, but Yiniang reacted at this time, and then Yuechan got into the cabin again to prevent her from seeing, not that Yuechan was afraid, in fact, Yuechan followed Li Xiu to the grassland, and the dead body was already strange, but Yuechan is a pregnant woman, according to superstition, it is indeed not good for a pregnant woman to see a dead person.

"How can there be so many dead bodies?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help frowning when she saw the corpse on the river.

"Auntie, look at it, it seems that the boat in front of you has capsized!" At this moment, I saw Li Ke suddenly pointing to the canal in front of him and shouting, which also made Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang look up, and sure enough, they found that there was a big boat in the distance that was turning face down in the river, and there were people around who were trying to turn the boat over, but this is not a small project, although there are also people who have been rescued, but because there are too many people who do not fall into the water, many people are drowned in the end, and these dead bodies in front of them must be people who fell into the water before.

"These are all Turks, are these the fleets that transport the Turks to the south?" At this time, Princess Pingyang finally found a problem from the clothes of the corpse on the water, and asked at the moment, she and the three of them were chatting in the cabin before, and they didn't know about meeting the Turks.

"Yes, these are the Turks who moved south, but I didn't expect an accident to happen, why don't I go find someone to ask about the situation!" Li Xiu nodded at first, and then frowned and said, the matter of the internal migration of the Turks was initiated by him first, since there is a fate now, and the other party is in trouble again, so he also wants to ask about the situation, and if there is a problem, he can also propose it to Zhao Deyan.

At that moment, Li Xiu sent people to find the officials who transported the Turkic fleet, and after a while, a petty official in a green robe came up to Li Xiu's ship, he didn't know Li Xiu's identity, but seeing Li Xiu's bearing, and the size of this fleet, he also knew that the other party must be a big man he couldn't provoke, so he was also very humble.

"Xiaguan Zhou Qing visited Gongzi, I don't know what to call Gongzi?" I saw this green-robed petty official saluting Li Xiu, he saw that Li Xiu was young, thinking that it was the son of a nobleman who came out to play, and he didn't dare to offend in his heart, because he knew that some noble sons were spoiled by the elders of the family, and they were not afraid of heaven and earth.

"My surname is Li, but you are the official in charge of this transportation team?" Li Xiu did not identify himself, and then asked directly.

"It turned out to be Gongzi Li, and Xiaguan was in charge of the escort of this group of Turks, but Gongzi, you must have also seen it, Xiaguan encountered a little trouble here, I hope it didn't frighten Gongzi!" I saw that when Zhou Qing said the end, he also saluted Li Xiu again, after all, there were so many dead corpses on the river, he was really afraid that the noble son in front of him had never seen the world, and he would be frightened and blame him.

Originally, the army was responsible for escorting the Turks at the beginning, but because when the first batch of Turks were escorted, there was a Turkic rebellion, which made Li Shimin also reprimand Zhao Deyan, so later the escort of the Turks became the responsibility of the civilian officials, and the army also obeyed the command of the escort envoy, and also improved the treatment of some Turks, so that there was no more Turkic resistance.

"This river is so calm, and there is no wind and waves today, why did your boat capsize and drown so many people?" Li Xiu frowned at this time and asked, although the lives of the Turks are not valuable, they can't die on the road in vain, after all, the south is still waiting for them to open up the wasteland.

"This ......" Zhou Qing couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment when he heard Li Xiu's inquiry, after all, it was inconvenient to tell outsiders about this kind of thing, but he saw that Li Xiu had an extraordinary bearing, and he also spoke with the majesty of a superior person, so he didn't dare not say it, and finally had to explain, "Qiyu Gongzi, in fact, we can't be blamed for today's incident, if you want to blame these Turkic people's bad luck!" ”

"Bad luck? What's going on? Li Xiu asked more curiously when he heard this.

"In fact, the reason for the reversal is very simple, that is, there are too many people on board, and the ship we prepared was very nervous, but yesterday on the dock, two big ships were damaged by an eyeless boat, and it took a few days to repair, but our itinerary has long been stipulated, and it can't be delayed for a day, so the lower officials have no choice, so they can only stuff the two boats of people as much as possible into other boats, and the boat that capsized had some small problems, plus overloading, and the result was a little anxious to turn when driving, This caused the boat to capsize all of a sudden, and a lot of people drowned, and I will definitely love punishment when I go back! ”

Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh in the end, the ships that were originally transported were not enough, so in order to load more people, each ship was seriously overloaded, and thanks to the relatively gentle canal, there was no accident, but this overload was too serious, which led to this accident.

After listening to Zhou Qing's answer, Li Xiu didn't say anything special, and after sending Zhou Qing away, he turned his head to Li Ke next to him and asked, "Ke'er, what do you think about this matter?" ”
