After a while, Wen Qiao gradually calmed down from his uneasiness and worry. Now that the matter in Fuzhou has not been completely resolved, the rumors from the capital that Zhao Qingyan is a disaster star are undoubtedly worse.

Wen Qiao's heart had all kinds of different emotions, and now Zhao Qingyan is facing nothing more than two situations in the capital, either she has been caught by Mrs. Cheng, or she will die and she will be fine in Huai'en Houfu.

For reasons that can reassure him, Wen Qiao prefers to believe that Zhao Qingyan is still in Huai'en Houfu at this time, after all, he sent Ling Yi to protect Zhao Qingyan, even if Mrs. Cheng has found Zhao Qingyan now, with Ling Yi's ability, he can easily take Zhao Qingyan away from Mrs. Cheng's hands.

Now that all kinds of troublesome things are together, it is impossible for Wen Qiao to take time out to care about Zhao Qingyan's affairs. He suddenly exhaled heavily, and when it came to the end, he could only do his work first.

Only when the matter in Fuzhou is resolved can he go back to the capital, during which he can only pray that Zhao Qingyan will be well and that there will be no accidents. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to feel at ease in this life. The room was still the same as when Wen Qiao left in the morning.

He looked around the room, and finally saw the quilt that he had placed on the chair, and then remembered that his bed was no longer usable, and his sleeping place had not been settled tonight. Zhang Xinzhi leaned against the door, holding his bill in his hand as usual.

In the past few days with Zhang Xinzhi, Wen Qiao has learned more and more about his temperament. He didn't care about anything else, he only knew that Zhang Xinzhi was a person who would never cause trouble to others, and he naturally knew that his performance just now was clearly seen by Zhang Xin, who had been with him all the time.

But he didn't say anything, and if he saw it, he didn't see it. Zhang Xinzhi, who raised his head from the account in his hand, glanced at Wen Qiao, who was standing opposite him, and instantly understood the meaning of his expression, so he asked thoughtfully, "Does Brother Wen still need to find another board?"

Now all the living needs of the entire Fuzhou can only meet the simplest, and it is good that they can still have a place to sleep. Wen Qiao had suffered more in the military camp in the past, and everything in Fuzhou was not difficult for him.

He nodded in response to Zhang Xinzhi's words, and the two of them left from the Fuzhou prefect and went back to pull a board again. After making up the bed for sleeping, Wen Qiao and Zhang Xinzhi each pulled a chair and sat on the left and right sides of the table in the room.

Since Zhang Xinzhi wrote a bill, he has kept it in his hand. He was staring at the bill closely, when suddenly two possibilities came to his mind.

"Brother Wen," Zhang Xinzhi looked up and shouted, "Could it be that what Wang Ai and the others handed over to us from the beginning was wrong?" We searched all over Fuzhou but did not find any grain, either this batch of grain has been sold by them, or this account book was fake from the beginning. ”

Now that I think about it, it's really wrong everywhere. But both of them also knew that the grain production in Fuzhou and other places was definitely not only as much as they found. There is fog everywhere, bothering Wen Qiao and Zhang Xinzhi's hearts.

Wen Qiao listened to Zhang Xinzhi's words, but there was no expression on his face, he said very calmly: "Whether they cheated or not, it doesn't matter now. I have sent a message to Your Majesty, and I think he will send food to his Majesty after receiving it. ”

If you don't say it, Zhang Xinzhi understands it better. They didn't come to investigate the food problem in Fuzhou this time, and after the flood was resolved, the people above would naturally send someone to investigate. Zhang Xinzhi simply put away his bill and said, "Then let's investigate the source of the flood first."

Wen Qiao sat in place and didn't move, he looked at Zhang Xinzhi, who had already gotten up, and shook his head, and had to say something that hit his confidence, "The whole Fuzhou is full of old and young women and children, and we must treat the flood first to avoid aggravating the loss." ”

"Wait, wait." Wen Qiao said: "Wait for Your Majesty to send someone with food." The current situation in Fuzhou cannot be solved by just the two of us. ”

In fact, when he first set off from the capital, Wen Qiao was as confident as Zhang Xinzhi now, but in the face of the dangerous facts, he had to bear it, and he couldn't save the world with just a few people. Just like he and Zhang Xinzhi couldn't save the people of Fuzhou.

The flood in Fuzhou is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster. The prefects of Fuzhou and other places have not made a single fact, they are mediocre and corrupt, if it weren't for their incompetence and indulgence, how could Fuzhou fall back to the current point!

"But we can't just wait for nothing to happen now." Zhang Xinzhi said. Wen Qiao nodded, the two of them thought about it together for a long time, and then took a few of his subordinates out of the yamen of the Fuzhou prefect. This time, they were accompanied by one of the few young men in Fuzhou City.

This man looked about the same age as Wen Qiao and Zhang Xinzhi. It can't be a scholar, this flood caused their whole family to stay in Fuzhou, and no one ran away. The young man is also surnamed Zhang, which is Zhang Xinzhi's family, and his single name is a ligature.

Zhang He took Wen Qiao and Zhang Xin to the largest lake outside Fuzhou. Almost the entire city of Fuzhou was flooded, and this lake outside the city was no exception. They could only reach the top of a slightly higher hill at the edge of the lake, which was as wide as sea level.

There is no end in sight, and all around is water that reaches to the sky. Zhang He pointed to the surface of the lake and explained, "I have seen it before, and a large part of the reason for this water problem is because of this lake."

"This lake is the largest in and outside the city of Fuzhou, and it originally stored a lot of water, but because of the continuous heavy rain a few days ago, the lake's embankment was broken and the water overflowed. And this lake is also connected to the sea, which must be the cause of the flooding. ”

Wen Qiao listened to Zhang He's words and kept nodding, but he didn't speak. He didn't know much about this, so he was a layman when it came to flooding. Zhang Xinzhi is different from him, he is a scholar, and during the time that Zhang He said, he had already gone to the lake to see.

Things are indeed the same as Zhang He said, this lake is the culprit. The lake could no longer be said to be a lake at this time, there was no edge around him, and everywhere he passed was water enough to submerge an adult, and at first glance it seemed that it was a sea.

There is no end in sight. Zhang Xinzhi looked at it for a while, he found some clues from it, and proposed: "Why don't you get this lake right first?" It is better to find his estuary first, and then repair it after bringing the water into the sea. ”

Wen Qiao said, "Let's go back first and then discuss."
