() In modern times, floods are sometimes unavoidable, and in the high-tech age, even if people have more mature resilience, they cannot be insulated from natural disasters forever.

When she thought that Gu Ziyuan was leaving, she couldn't feel at ease when she went to a place where she would be in danger at any time for an unknown number of days.

Bai Rong was stubborn, Gu Ziyuan finally agreed, who made him actually don't want to leave with her in his heart, although he would always secretly scold himself afterwards for being soft-hearted and out of place, but he couldn't really leave Bai Rong ruthlessly.

But he will be determined to protect Bai Rong every time.

In order to be able to help him by Gu Ziyuan's side, Bai Rong once again disguised himself as a man, originally Gu Ziyuan was very unaccustomed to her dressing like that, but as long as Bai Rongyi looked at him with those apricot eyes, he didn't care about this.

It's better to appreciate the beauty of your sweetheart.

In my ears was the sound of horses' hooves, the light rain was falling slowly, and the sound of ticking mixed with the wheels of the car was even more disturbing, and I didn't know how long I had been on the road, Bai Rong lifted the curtain and saw two or three groups of figures outside.

"They're moving north."

Bai Rong whispered, and Gu Ziyuan, who was behind him, also looked over after noticing, and he muttered: "It seems that the floods here have affected the lives of many ordinary people, and they have to leave their hometowns and go to other places to find a way to survive. ”

Some of them may not be civilians in the county, but some fishermen who live near the upstream, but now that the floods are frequent, the upstream should not be able to live in, and the people there can only move elsewhere.

Bai Rong's eyes showed pity: "I hope that this official bank can help them tide over the difficulties." ”

Gu Ziyuan stretched out his hand and interlocked his fingers with her, and admitted: "With me, I won't let the people suffer all the time." ”

Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the city, Gu Ziyuan got out of the carriage first, it was no longer raining outside, but the road was still wet.

He stretched out his hand to Bai Rong in the carriage intimately: "Come, be careful, it's all mud underneath, don't slip your feet." ”

"It's Lord Gu, he's here with disaster money!"

A call behind him attracted excited onlookers.

Everyone warmly welcomed Gu Ziyuan, as if they had known that he would arrive and had been waiting here in advance

Bai Rong noticed that some people's clothes were wet, and frowned slightly.

When she got out of the carriage, she whispered in Gu Ziyuan's ear: "Ziyuan, the people here seem to be very unhappy, I always feel that there is something strange here." ”

Although the common people seemed to welcome their arrival, they did not see their enthusiasm and cheerfulness, but only felt a sense of depression with the gloomy scenery of the sky.

"Don't worry, I'll find out." Gu Ziyuan patted the back of her hand and didn't continue to pull her intimately.

Turning around, the county magistrate hurriedly greeted him, only to see him smiling very flatteringly, looking at the tall Gu Ziyuan: "This is Lord Gu, I have been looking up for a long time, I heard that thanks to Lord Gu this time, I was able to keep the official bank for this disaster relief." ”

Gu Ziyuan nodded, his face polite and respectful: "No need to say thank you, this is my responsibility as an official of the imperial court, first carry all the official money to your mansion and collect it." ”

When he heard the words "official silver", the eyes of the county magistrate were to stick to the box full of official silver: "You guys, go ahead and open the way." ”

Halfway through, the county magistrate discovered Bai Rong's existence, so he asked with some curiosity: "Who is this?" ”

Bai Rong reacted quickly, arched his hand and introduced himself: "My lord, just call me Master Bai." ”

Gu Ziyuan then probed the county order for a few words, but didn't ask anything, and then went to the county order's mansion, and the group entered the mansion, and had to sigh in their hearts that it was not magnificent, and the magnificent decoration and decoration all showed the word Jingui.

Corrupt official, Bai Rong silently said a word, staring at the smiling county order with heavy eyes, there must be a ghost.

The people around him were worried about their crops and houses, but he was fine, living in such a good house, no wonder there was no fear on his face.

"Your Excellency has come just in time, this flood is non-stop, most of the crops have been flooded, and the people are really miserable, but fortunately, this relief money is coming, I dare to guarantee that the city will soon be restored to the state of peace and security of the city." The prefectural magistrate said as he led them in.

Gu Ziyuan replied lightly: "There is no basis for what you say, but if you succeed in controlling the flood, Your Majesty will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Master Gu, please take a seat." The county magistrate turned around and ordered, "Come on, hurry up and put on the pot."

Tea and snacks must not be neglected by today's distinguished guests. ”

Without waiting for Gu Ziyuan to speak, he asked with a smile on his face: "It's not just Lord Gu who came this time, how long do you want to stay here?" ”

Knowing that he would have such a problem, Gu Ziyuan gave him a shot to refresh his mind: "Until the flood is successfully controlled, I will not leave, what, can't this mansion accommodate me as a petty official?" ”

He deliberately named this mansion, and sure enough, the smile on the corner of the county commander's mouth immediately became a little empty: "How can it be, this official doesn't mean this, but is this His Majesty's will?" ”

Bai Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, and it seemed that he was also cunning.

"Your Majesty asked me to send official silver here, that is, let me watch this silver be used for disaster relief, if the flood is more than fierce, if Your Majesty blames it, naturally no one can escape, but my lord understands what I mean?" Gu Ziyuan glanced at him meaningfully.

The county commander squeezed out a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, and nodded hurriedly: "I understand, of course I understand, but it's not easy to be an official, it's really hard for Lord Gu to worry about this small county town, so the adult will live in the wing room of the West Courtyard today." ”

Seeing that it was not early, Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan did not shirk it, and followed their subordinates to the wing room with their luggage.

Looking at the backs of them leaving, the county commander looked thoughtful in his eyes.

"The mansion here must not be easy to come from." Bai Rong pushed the door into the room, and after seeing the furnishings inside, he suddenly guessed, "This county order should not have embezzled the previous disaster money, right?" ”

Gu Ziyuan looked at the bed and table made of golden silk nanmu, and even the screen windows were made of fine silk, and his face gradually became heavy.

However, before they understood the situation, they had to do something rashly, so at night, when Bai Rong was about to go back to his room, someone heard outside the door.

"Lord Gu, our lord has been running around with you all the way, and he has a lot of merit, so he specially presents a good gift, and I hope that Lord Gu is satisfied, if there is anything else you need, just tell us."

It's so late, what kind of gift does this county order give?

Gu Ziyuan opened the door, only to see that in the night, several attendants were carrying lanterns, and behind them were two women with wonderful figures, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could probably guess from their bodies that they were only ten ** years old, very young.
