Chen Sheng immediately sent someone to inform the county supervisor Han Dongqing. Han Dongqing is old and doesn't like to join in the fun, so he didn't show up for the dinner. However, Chen Sheng also knew that when such a thing happened suddenly, he must go to the embankment to inspect the danger, and Han Dongqing had to guard Dongye City. Although Li Shen was present at this banquet, Chen Sheng couldn't believe Li Shen, and if Dongye City was handed over to him, he didn't know what trouble it would cause.

After the arrangement, Chen Sheng cleared his throat and said to the confused guests: "Distinguished guests. This official has just heard that the upper reaches of the Min River have suddenly risen to a large level, and the dikes are in danger. ”

Hearing the sound, the guests were silent at first, and then burst into a burst of exclamations.

Dongye City is next to the Min River, once the embankment is destroyed, the flood will inevitably sweep into Dongye City! For guests of a certain age, the flooding of the Min River is no stranger. The embankments on both sides of the Minjiang River have been in disrepair for a long time, and every spring and summer, even if the precipitation is not large, the farmland near the river does not know how much is submerged. The river poured into Dongye City, and I don't know how many houses collapsed.

Previously, people of insight of the Minyue Dynasty proposed to rebuild the Minjiang River embankment decades ago. But generations of Minyue kings did not react to this proposal. First, the rulers of Minyue did not pay attention to the entire branch of the river, and second, the Minyue Dynasty was busy expanding to the north and south, and there was no manpower and funds to repair the embankment and river. For decades, whenever it was windy and rainy, the people living around the Minjiang River were all worried.

The guests were panicking. It is because they have more or less learned about the repair of the dams on the Minjiang River since Chen Sheng became the county guard. Compared with the past few decades, the embankment of the Minjiang River is now dozens of times better, if such a dam cannot be kept, then can the entire Dongye City be saved?

"Don't panic, everybody." Chen Sheng's tone was particularly calm at this time. "Today, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the embankments on both sides of the Minjiang River, and the embankments will definitely be able to hold on." Chen Sheng's tone was full of majesty, and he continued: "Now all the officers and soldiers in the city have been transferred out of the city to guard the embankment. In other words, Dongye City tonight is an undefended city. When Chen Sheng said this, many people had already understood the meaning of Chen Sheng's words. Minzhong is a new county, and more than half of the VIPs present still have resistance to the Qin Dynasty, and the vast majority of people are able to set off riots in this undefended city. When Chen Sheng said these words, he wanted to deter such troublemakers.

Chen Sheng continued: "You all have enough guards in your mansions, and please organize the forces in your mansions to jointly maintain the safety of Dongye City." Chen Sheng said this, and his tone was suddenly cold: "Where is the county captain?" ”

Li Shen was mixed in the crowd, looking at Chen Sheng coldly, thinking in his heart how to use this opportunity to give Chen Sheng a fatal blow. Suddenly, when he heard Chen Sheng calling him, he had to stop thinking nonsense in his mind and walked closer. With a cold face, he arched his hand to Chen Sheng and said, "What did the county guard call me?" ”

Chen Sheng showed a big smile on his face and said, "The security of Dongye City tonight is up to Lord Li and everyone here. I also invite Master Li and all of you present to carefully discuss the issue of public security and defense in Dongye City. As soon as the words fell, Chen Sheng's face became extremely cold and solemn again, and he said sharply: "Please pay attention to Lord Li, if you find someone spreading rumors in the city to incite the people, you will be arrested and handed over to the county supervisor Lord Han for consideration!" If the facts are ascertained, they will be summarily executed! If there is a disturbance, attack on the government and disturb the people's livelihood, it will also be handed over to the county supervisor for disposal. If it is handled properly, nothing will happen in the city. Chen will ask the emperor for credit; If not handled properly, there will be riots in the city. When this official returns tomorrow, he will first behead Lord Li Shen, and then carefully investigate your mistakes, and if you find out those who are slacking off and prevaricating, you will be able to repay Lord Li Shen! Chen Sheng's words were cold and gloomy, and many of the guests turned pale with fright. And Li Shen was even more frightened, Chen Sheng's words were clearly aimed at him and wanted his life!

"What a ruthless man!" Li Shen knew that Chen Sheng was suspicious of him about the assassination of Shangzi, and maybe he would look for an opportunity to retaliate or something, but he didn't expect Chen Sheng's revenge to be so quick and so upright! Which of those guys in Dongye City is willing to contribute to the imperial court? When he came to Fujian, although he had won over some wealthy nobles many times, these Minyue barbarians were not particularly interested in him, the son of a high-ranking cadre, so if he wanted to mobilize the private strength of these guys, it would never be an easy job! Besides, among the old nobles in Dongye City, who have been suppressed by the imperial court for so long, which one doesn't want to take this opportunity to make something to block the imperial court? Is this something that he, Li Shen, can control? Isn't this clearly asking for his Li Shen's life?

Li Shenzheng wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but looking at Chen Sheng's gloomy eyes, he knew that if he refused Chen Sheng's request, Chen Sheng might cut him immediately.

Chen Sheng looked around and said, "I hope you will guard Dongye City with all your heart." After all, your industries are all in Dongye City. If Dongye City is not stable, the hearts of the soldiers and civilians outside the berm outside the city will not be stable and cannot be at ease, then once the embankment is destroyed and the flood enters the city, everyone's lives will not be saved!"

Chen Sheng's words made those who were unpredictable finally calm down. Dongyue Jun took the lead in setting an example: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will definitely do our best to maintain the safety of the city, and this monarch will also send generals to escort and go out of the city to reinforce the berm." If there is a need on the embankment, I am willing to do everything in the Dongou Jun's mansion! "Su Shao was fooled by Li Shen last time and almost made a big mistake, was alienated by Chen Sheng for a while, and was also punished by the emperor. Now that I finally have the opportunity to express my kindness to Chen Sheng, how can I give up such an opportunity.

With the example of the sway, others also patted their chests and said that the county guard was relieved. Only then did Li Shen settle down in his heart, and with some wandering steps, he invited the male guests to the side to discuss how to allocate manpower to maintain the safety of the city.

After Chen Sheng finished arranging the task, he also hurriedly took a few guards and rushed to the river embankment outside the city. Originally, Ling Suyun kept it many times, saying that there were Li Zuoche and Xu Wugui on the river embankment, so he didn't need to rush to this dangerous place in person. But Chen Sheng smiled faintly, hugged Ling Suyun fiercely and kissed her, and then walked away. Chen Sheng knew very well that as a person, guarding the embankment, the strength he could contribute was very weak. But as a county guard, his appearance on the riverbank has an incomparably huge impact on morale.

There, he is needed.
