Chen Sheng, who was rescued, after eating the wild fruit found by the giant ape, the feeling of hunger and fatigue suddenly disappeared for the most part.

After his strength recovered a little, Chen Sheng hurried back to Dongye. Although I asked Lingzhuer a lot of questions. But since Lingzhu'er was blown away by the wind, she ran nearly 100 miles over the mountains and mountains to search for his traces, and she didn't know anything about his questions.

Chen Sheng's heart was like a fire, and he did not know whether the embankment of the Minjiang River was safe, how much property was lost and how many people died in the whole of Minzhong during the storm, and whether the situation was properly handled after the disaster.

……

"Miss, it's almost three days, so you can take a rest." Ma Lie handed the water bladder to Ling Suyun, who was pale, and pleaded bitterly. Ling Suyun searched in the direction of Lingzhu'er for more than two days, but there was no result. Ma Lie and the other search team had given up the possibility of continuing the search and turned back.

Ling Suyun pushed open the water bladder and said, "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." If I can't find him, I'm not going to stop. Ling Suyun believed that following Lingzhu'er's direction was the most likely to find Chen Sheng, so she was not ready to give up.

"Then you have to drink water and eat something. Otherwise, I won't be able to continue without strength! Ma Lie handed the water bladder to Ling Suyun again. This time, Ling Suyun did not refuse. Ordering a sip of water, Ling Suyun Muran said: "How is the dam of the Min River, and how is Dongye City?" "Ling Suyun doesn't care about the life or death of the entire Minzhong County. But she knew that Chen Sheng was very concerned about this.

"The Minjiang River has been properly divided, and the dam burst has been repaired, and there is no danger. Dongye City is also quite calm, but due to the impact of the typhoon, many people outside the city have been displaced and are waiting for the government to resettle. Our industry suffered a relatively large loss this time, and the paper mill and the salt factory lost no less than 30,000 gold......"

"We're in the industry in Dongye City, it's like a few rice shops, right?" Ling Suyun interrupted Ma Lie's words, she didn't pay attention to this loss, "The price of rice should not rise, but we must limit the purchase, open a porridge shed outside the city with the surplus rice, and if there is a storecloth, take it out and distribute it to the victims." ”

"Yes." Ma Lie did not have the slightest objection to Ling Suyun's words. "Uncle Ma, go back, it's good to have me here." After thinking about it, Ling Suyun said again: "Chen Sheng is not in the city, I'm afraid there will be some small troubles in the city, concentrate our forces, if anyone dares to riot, you have to protect Lord Han and the county guard." When Ling Suyun said this, her tone was not so weak.

Ma Lie bowed to Ling Suyun and left alone. All the people he brought were left behind for Ling Suyun to continue to search for Chen Sheng.

Dongye City. The county watchman's house.

The wrinkles on Elder Han Dongqing's face deepened, and his waist, which was originally very straight, was slightly rickety, walking back and forth in the lobby of the county guard's mansion.

The old man was very haggard. Hearing the bad news, the powerful heart of the old man, who had experienced decades of wind and waves, could not bear it and fainted.

Originally, when he came to Minzhong County, Han Dongqing was just responsible for supervising Chen Sheng, Yinghuo and Li Shen, hearing and hearing for the emperor, and selecting talents.

The original Han Dongqing was not optimistic about Chen Sheng. If it weren't for the emperor's secret decree to recommend Chen Sheng to be the county guard, he really didn't want to let a hairless young man manage such a huge territory.

However, after arriving in Fujian, what Han Dongqing saw and heard in Fujian made him constantly change his opinion of Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng's administration is sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, and decisive, and what makes Han Dongqing, an old bureaucrat, appreciate even more is that Chen Sheng's mature performance in politics, on the one hand, won over neutrals like Ying Huo and himself, on the other hand, suppressed opposition like Li Shen, and at the same time was able to deter hostile forces throughout central Fujian. And when the emperor was at this age, he hadn't started to govern himself.

So Han Dongqing was full of expectations for Chen Sheng. This is not the expectation of an old bureaucrat to climb up the ranks for the sake of political achievements. It is the expectation that Chen Sheng will be able to seek happiness for all people. Han Dongqing has been an imperial historian for many years, and he has never seen an official who really thinks about the people's livelihood. Some Han Dongqing did not approve of Chen Sheng's various behaviors, but it did not prevent him from appreciating Chen Sheng's personality. Because every time he has the mind to reject Chen Sheng's thoughts or practices, the answer that proves Chen Sheng right has come out.

However, such an excellent rookie of the empire lost his life in a storm, which really made it difficult for Lord Han to bear the grief.

"My lord, don't be impatient, the county guard will definitely be auspicious and safe." Li Shen appeared beside Chen Han Dongqing for the first time, and he also spoke kindly to Han Dongqing, which is an extremely rare thing.

Hearing this, Han Dongqing snorted heavily. He knew very well what Li Shen had in mind. Li Shenming is thinking about the position of the county guard. According to the report from the secret agent, after learning that Chen Sheng was missing, Li Shen and Wu Shaohai drank many cups of good wine to celebrate. Now Li Shen pretended to be sad and ran to the county guard mansion to comfort himself, isn't it a typical cat crying mouse?

Han Dong cleared his throat and said, "It's been two days since Lord County Guard disappeared, and the old man is very uneasy, and he is too old and weak to go out of the city to find Lord County Guard, so he can only sigh here in vain. Now that Dongye City is in chaos inside and outside, the county lieutenant is young and strong, and he doesn't want to help, but he comes here to accompany my old body, but why? ”

Li Shen said: "Seeing that the old man is in poor health, he came to visit, and seeing that the adult is still in good spirits, Li Shen is at ease." I'm about to go outside to maintain order in the city. ”

Han Dongqing was very satisfied with Li Shen's words. To be honest, since Chen Sheng's disappearance, Li Shen's performance has been remarkable, and he doesn't look as unruly as before. At the very least, they will still patrol around with their men and horses. Mainly patrolling around the county guard's mansion, whenever he sees Han Dongqing, he will dismount and say hello. He knew very well that if Chen Sheng died, the position of the county guard of Minzhong County would belong to him. Of course, there is another premise, that is, there is the recommendation of the county supervisor Han Dongqing. You must know that the previous county guard Chen Sheng was recommended by Han Dongqing. If Han Dongqing speaks, and his father takes care of it in the court, the position of the county guard of Minzhong County must be a boiled duck.

Li Shen gave enough hints to the various forces in the city to calm down during this time, saying that after he became the county guard, there would be heavy thanks. The Li family has the power of the world, and with the support of the young master of the Wu family, no one in Dongye City dares to give Li Shen face.
