Tan Ming knelt on the ground, knocked down again, his head fell deep on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Tan Ming is ashamed of His Highness, let His Highness dispose of it." ”

Huo Sijin was stunned, looking at Tan Ming's words and deeds, he was clearly bent on death.

The errand was not done for the time being, so he was bent on death, Huo Sijin really didn't know what to say.

Not to mention that the peach blossom flood has just begun, the world is impermanent, and it has not yet reached the time of desperation, who knows that there will be no bright time in the future?

Chu Zheng alone may not really kill him, there are peach blossom floods every year, and Huzhou has floods year after year, no one can solve this matter for so many years, if everyone is like Tan Ming, if they fail to solve the disaster of the peach blossom flood, they will be executed, then I don't know how many people should be killed.

Huo Sijin didn't realize that in her heart, Chu Zheng was no longer the violent and ruthless person she knew before. She unconsciously believed that Chu Zheng was not a person who killed innocents indiscriminately, and it was certainly a fault to be lacking in talent, but fault was not necessarily guilty, Huo Sijin subconsciously thought that Chu Zheng was still a reasonable person in nature, and he would not kill his subordinates because they didn't do a good job.

"Mr. Tan, how to deal with you, whether to dispose of you or not, this is His Highness's business. But Mr. Tan, your task has not yet been completed, Your Highness has sent you to build a drainage ditch, and your duty is to ensure that the drainage ditch can help Huzhou survive the peach blossom flood. And now that the peach blossom flood has not passed, and everything has not yet reached the time when the dust has settled, you should ask His Highness for guilt at this time......"

Huo Sijin paused, and then said, "Mr. Tan, don't you think...... Is there something wrong with your behavior? ”

Actually, she originally wanted to say, "Mr. Tan, don't you think it's a cowardly behavior for you to do this", but just as the words were about to come out, Tan Ming just raised his head slightly, and Huo Sijin clearly saw a touch of water in the corner of Tan Ming's eyes, this person actually cried?

In an instant, Huo Sijin understood what kind of person Tan Ming was, loyal and upright.

Such a person calls him a coward, but I am afraid that it will hurt his self-esteem a little.

And Huo Sijin didn't mean to hurt people's self-esteem, she just saw that Tan Ming couldn't listen to the words of others, and was immersed in loss and self-blame, so she had to change the way to make Tan Ming wake up.

Therefore, when the words came to his mouth, Huo Sijin changed his mouth again and changed it to a more euphemistic expression.

Although the words are euphemistic, but the meaning, Huo Sijin thinks that this conversation should be understood, right? Since Chu Zheng sent this person to be responsible for the construction of drainage ditches, it shows that Tan Ming is not an elm head.

Similarly, Huo Sijin didn't notice it at all, she believed that Chu Zheng was a person with vision, and there would never be useless people around her.

Unconsciously, Huo Sijin has changed a lot of views of Chu Zheng, and now Chu Zheng is a qualified and even perfect prince in her heart, not the ruthless prince with a violent temperament and murderous in the past.

As Huo Sijin expected, Tan Ming's eyes were slightly stunned, and his expression was complicated, "Your Highness......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Zheng, "This palace is not here to listen to your nonsense." Tan Ming, this palace asks you again, how is the situation in Huzhou? ”

Facing Chu Zheng's slightly gloomy face, he recalled Fang Cai Huo Sijin's words in his ears......

Suddenly, Tan Ming suddenly realized, and hurriedly replied: "My subordinates know their mistakes." ”

remembered what Chu Zheng said again, he didn't listen to nonsense. Isn't repentance at this time just nonsense?

Immediately, Tan Ming gave a detailed report on the construction of the drainage ditch, and took out the map, and pointed to Chu Zheng one by one, which places can be used for drainage canals, what is the water level of the river, etc......

"Your Highness, it's your subordinates who are careless, I thought that the construction of these drainage ditches could completely cope with the Peach Blossom Flood, but ......" Tan Ming sighed, "This year's Peach Blossom Flood is menacing, and the amount of water is twice that of last year. ”

Tan Ming's tone couldn't hide the frustration, he really had no choice, the reality was far beyond expectations, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.

"Come and see this." As he spoke, Chu Zheng took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, opened it, and spread it on several cases. The contents of this piece of paper are from Huo Sijin's hand.

Huo Sijin made up her mind that she must help Chu Zheng settle the Taohuaxun matter, so she tried hard to recall the experience of going to Huzhou in her previous life, and before leaving the capital, she drew a more detailed map and marked the important places of the flood one by one.

Tan Ming's eyes fell on the map, and he was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the map of Huzhou?" How did you draw it in such detail? ”

He didn't know a lot of the culverts marked on it.

"Your Highness, who drew this map? Are all the culverts painted above real? At this time, Tan Ming didn't care about being rude or not, and hurriedly asked. If the culverts marked above are true, then as long as some more ditches are dug and connected, the light and dark ditches can be connected, which can greatly relieve the pressure of flooding.

Tan Ming's eyes flashed with hope, if it was true, then it might not be too late to make sure that everything drawn on this map was true, which was too important for Tan Ming.

Chu Zheng glanced at Huo Sijin, and Huo Sijin smiled lightly: "Mr. Tan, this picture is painted by Changjin." Changjin consulted all the records about Huzhou before drawing this map, and the culverts marked in it have not really been seen by Changjin, so their authenticity cannot be completely guaranteed at this time. ”

Hearing this, Tan Ming's face darkened slightly.

I only heard Huo Sijin say again: "However, Changjin has drawn these culverts after multiple data collection and several deliberations, Changjin thinks that it should not be too different from the actual situation in Huzhou, but the specific situation must be verified on the spot." ”

The implication is that nine times out of ten the content in this picture is true, and even if there is something wrong, it is very little, only one or two points.

This sentence invisibly gave Tan Ming hope, so much so that there was surprise in his tone of voice, "Your Highness, this matter can be handed over to your subordinates, and in one day, your subordinates promise to verify all these culverts." ”

He had just taken a closer look at the map, and some of the culverts drawn on it were known to him, and the locations were exactly the same. He had never seen the rest before, but the fact that the map was drawn in such detail and that the gutters and ditches were all marked showed that the man who drew this picture was meticulous and cautious.

The authenticity of a map drawn by a cautious and attentive person is greatly guaranteed.

"Okay, I'll give you a day." It took a day to verify all the gutters and dark ditches, and there was no easy thing, but Chu Zheng still agreed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, my subordinates will go." finally saw a glimmer of hope, and Tan Ming couldn't wait to leave.

Huo Sijin stopped him with words, "Mr. Tan, you wait." ”

Pointing to the map, "There are a few places here, and Changjin can be completely sure that they are real." ”

She had walked through these places one by one in her previous life, and she had already measured them in her heart. Huo Sijin pointed out everything she knew, and these places were completely sure of her. And the rest of them are not very clear and not very certain.

It's been a long time, and she is a person who has experienced life and death, some memories are inevitably a little blurry, and Huo Sijin is not sure where there is a culvert.

"Thank you Huo Gongzi for your advice, the rest of the place will be carefully verified." Tan Ming admired Huo Sijin, so even though Huo Sijin was a young boy, Tan Ming spoke to her with great respect.

After Tan Ming left, Chu Zheng pointed to this map and said to Huo Sijin: "The amount of river water this year is twice that of last year, even if there is this map, all the ditches and culverts in Huzhou will be used, and it may not be able to stop the peach blossom flood." ”

Huo Sijin's eyes drooped slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed back and forth. In fact, this is also something she has been worried about, this year's peach blossom flood is too fierce, and it is difficult for Huzhou to bear such a large amount of water.
