Chapter 264: Huai'an Flood
In the light rain, Sister Li Yue was wearing a plain dress and holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing at the grave of Grandma Tian, thinking about her past and present lives, she actually had an inexplicable feeling.
"When my grandmother was sick and confused, she held my hand many times, but it was your name, I don't understand, what kind of drug did you pour into her, so that she remembered you so much." Shen Qingrong stood beside Sister Li Yue, her eyes also staring at the grave.
"Don't talk about this here, Grandma doesn't like to hear it." Sister Li Yue turned her face sideways and looked at her.
Shen Qingrong twitched the corner of her mouth.
Sister Li Yue turned her face at this time and continued to look at the grave, but she said to Shen Qingrong: "I will return to Tongzhou in two days, and I may not have time to worship Grandma every year in the future. Sister Li Yue said suddenly.
Shen Qingrong wanted to say why should I help you knock, but for some reason, looking at Sister Li Yue's eyes staring at the grave, and then looking at her grandmother's grave, she couldn't say this, and after a while, she said unwillingly: "Okay." ”
Sister Li Yue couldn't help but smile lightly, and gently patted Shen Qingrong's shoulder: "I'm leaving." With that, Bento turned around and went down the hill first.
Shen Qingrong looked at Sister Li Yue's back with a complicated expression, and also went down the mountain.
Sister Li Yue returned to Mofeng's residence, then packed up, and planned to go back to Tongzhou, this back and forth, plus when she stayed in Huai'an, it would take almost two months to add together, Zheng Dian's post was already over, whether to return to Linqing to continue to be a governor or arrange another errand, it should also come down.
Sister Li Yue has to hurry back, otherwise she will miss it.
However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, just when Sister Li Yue was in a hurry to return to Tongzhou, the rain in Huai'an was getting heavier and heavier, and finally it was pouring heavy rain, the Huai River skyrocketed, and the water situation on both sides of the Huai River was urgent.
Sister Li Yue was anxious. Early in the morning, I took the cicadas to the river to see the water.
In the river, the muddy water was rolling down, and the people in the low-lying areas on both sides of the city had already migrated, and built a shed on a high ground in the city to live temporarily, and some even moved to the mountain.
There are even some people who seek refuge with relatives and friends.
"Not good, not good. Last night, the embankment at Baqiao burst and the entire Baqiao Township was flooded. At this moment, several people dressed in general armor came over in a panic, and urged those who had not yet moved to move quickly. They only learned about the flooding of Baqiao Township in the morning. At this time, I rushed to inform everyone to evacuate the dangerous area immediately. The situation is getting more and more dangerous.
One flood peak after another is coming down, and who knows what danger will be in the next moment, at this moment. When several chiefs saw that there were still people watching the water by the river, they hurried to let everyone leave and move to a safe place.
This situation, coupled with the hearing that the dam bridge was flooded. , it is inevitable that people will panic, and everyone will leave quickly
Sister Li Yue hurriedly called the cicada back, but when she turned her face, she saw that the cicada's face was a little pale.
Sister Li Yue suddenly woke up at this time, Baqiao Township is the hometown of the green cicada. Although there is no one on her mother's side anymore, there are still relatives on her father's side, although her father's side did not treat her well in the past. But at this time, it is also worried.
"Don't worry, it's a terrible time. I want to come to Baqiao Township and the people have been prepared before, even if the embankment is broken, but it is not impossible to escape early, after a while, we will go to the disaster victim point on the side of the Chenghuang Temple to see. Sister Li Yue comforted the cicada, and told her about her escape from Liuwa, so that the cicada firmly believed that most people in Baqiao Township could escape with their lives.
"I'm fine, it doesn't matter to me whether they live or die." The green cicada said with red eyes.
Sister Li Yue knew that she had a hard mouth, and she didn't say anything, so she pulled her back first.
At night, Rong Yan and Mo Feng got together and talked about the disaster with Sister Li Yue. Rong Yan, this kid is very well-informed, and he talked about Baqiao Township again
"Alas, this world, rich people can't withstand disasters, I have a kid whose family is Baqiao Township, and now the whole family is left with him alive, I heard him talk about Baqiao Township, you know the Yuan family in Yuanqiao Township, the Yuan family is the first in Baqiao, and now the good fields are all flooded, Master Yuan and Mrs. Yuan are also drowned, and the sister and brother happened to escape the disaster in Huai'an City. (.la marshmallow) tsk, a good big family is so defeated. Rong Yan said.
"That's okay, the Yuan family finally left the roots and seedlings, and when the water recedes, the field will be reorganized, and a lot of it can still be picked back." Ink Wind Channel.
Listening to the two talking about the Yuan family, Sister Li Yue couldn't help but think of the pair of sisters and brothers she saw at the door of Shen's house last time.
At night, there was another torrential rain, at this time, not only on both sides of the Huaishui, but also in the city, but also everywhere the water, Mofeng called people to leave in the middle of the night to rush to the disaster.
The next day, there was news from the victims that most of the four towns and eight towns around Huai'an were flooded, and the victims of the city were slipped away, but there were also Qinghe and Shanyang victims who fled to Huai'an Mansion, and the disaster was no smaller than the Yellow River in that year.
Sister Li Yue is completely stuck in Huai'an.
At the same time, the civil unrest that had been quelled three years ago broke out again, and countless shops in the city were smashed until the people of the Gong Wei Division came forward and hundreds of heads fell to the ground, and the riot was once again quelled.
And in the next few days, Mo Feng is getting busier and busier, not to mention the disaster relief, in addition to the news of the imperial court, the emperor is going to come down to inspect the disaster, and the guards and reception and arrangements must not be neglected.
Finally, the rain cleared, and finally the sky cleared.
Early in the morning, Sister Li Yue was going to take Qingcian and Gui Sheng to the street to inquire about the news, first, to inquire about Qingciao's hometown of Baqiao Township, and second, to see when she could leave, by the way, to find someone, first bring a letter back, now this situation, she and Tongzhou news are broken, Liulang is not sure how anxious it is.
After a day of running, the three of them were tired, but they finally booked the car and returned to Tongzhou by land.
"It's okay now, I can finally go back to Tongzhou." Gui Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was under a lot of pressure during this time, Sister Li Yue took him out, coupled with the chaotic situation in Huai'an, if Sister Li Yue was also an accident, he would not be able to explain to his family and adults.
Only the cicada is still a little sullen, and when she went to the City God Temple before, she didn't hear from her family.
"Don't worry too much, those people didn't say it before, most of them have escaped, I want them to flee to other places, when the water recedes, I will ask Mo Feng to help you inquire again, if you want to come, they will all return to their hometowns." Sister Li Yue said comfortingly.
"Hmm." The cicada nodded.
As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the intersection, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a group of people standing at the door of Mofeng's house, all wearing hats and robes, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.
"Who are you looking for?" Sister Li Yue stepped forward and asked suspiciously.
"Sister Yue'er, it's me." At this moment, one of them lifted the hat and revealed a smiling face. It's actually Zheng Dian, why did this kid come here without a loud voice?
Sister Li Yue was first overjoyed when she saw him, and then she was shocked: "What kind of mess are you here at this time, I won't go back soon." ”
Sister Li Yue is in a hurry, the situation in Huai'an is so chaotic, Zheng Dian can offend all the people in Huai'an officialdom at the beginning, in case people know, they can't find fault.
"Flutter." Some of them laughed.
Zheng Dian touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is here, take us into the house quickly." ”
As soon as she heard that the emperor was coming, Sister Li Yue was shocked, and then she remembered that Mo Feng was busy with things during this time, but she didn't think about it, the emperor first quietly arrived in Huai'an, and the first stop was Mo Feng, Sister Li Yue hurriedly opened the door and led everyone into the house.
Accompanying the emperor, in addition to Zheng Dian, there are also the three nobles of the Gong Wei Division, as well as Lord Min of the cabinet, as well as the governor of the river, of course, there is also that Zhu Qiye, who dared to laugh before There will be no one else except him, plus a guard, as soon as he comes in, he will stuff Mofeng's small Chen mansion to the brim, and I don't know how many people outside are secretly controlling this area.
The emperor's tour has always been a major event.
Sister Li Yue took the green cicada to serve everyone a cup of hot tea soup, and then quietly pulled Zheng Dian aside: "Why did you come down with the emperor?" ”
"The emperor means to let me take over the Huai'an Grain Road." Zheng Dian said in a low voice. The annexation of the fields on this side of the Jianghuai is too serious, every time there is a flood, there are many fertile fields that are occupied by large households, and these large households have many meritorious names, and the imperial court has regulations, and those who have meritorious names do not need to pay grain, so that don't look at Jianghuai is a rich land, but the annual grain is reduced every year, and the people are in turmoil, and the court decree is also invalid, the emperor is now ruthless to smelt the Huai'an officialdom, and good land is fundamental.
The emperor has rectified Huai'an officialdom from the root.
Sister Li Yue is full of worries, Huai'an officialdom is a tiger's den in Longtan.
However, the emperor's arrangement is not something that anyone can resist, and it is useless for her to worry about it, so she has to be more careful and pay more attention in the future.
"By the way, the emperor hasn't eaten yet, he is in a hurry during this time, and his appetite is not very good, you boil some porridge and fry the same hors d'oeuvres." Zheng Dian said again. Then he hurried back to the antechamber.
Sister Li Yue took the cicada to cook, thought about it, and called Gui Sheng over, and asked him to hurry up to the yali to call Mo Feng back, the emperor They came over so quietly, obviously to understand the disaster first, and after a while, Mo Feng went down to the ya, Li Yue estimated that the emperor would definitely ask him about the situation when he arrived, Li Yue Sister was afraid that Mo Feng was in a hurry, and the answer was not good, you must know that the companion is like a tiger, not to mention that this person is extremely suspicious, if the monarch loses his etiquette in front of him, and when the emperor is not happy, it is possible to lose his life.
Gui Sheng got the order, and ran away with his feet.
After a while, Sister Li Yue boiled the porridge, because it had been a flood, there were no fresh vegetables at home, so Sister Li Yue boiled porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, plus a few pickles, it tasted quite delicious and appetizing.
Don't look at these simple things, but it took Sister Li Yue all her strength, I just hope that the emperor will eat happily, be in a better mood, and everyone will be better.
