Twenty miles of road, although the heavy rain was pouring and the road was muddy and difficult to walk, Su Yuqi's foot was extremely fast, and he arrived at the Jiangzhou Mansion in half an hour.

The front of the government was full of water, knee-deep, and the door was open, and when you stepped through the door, there was no one inside.

"Anyone?"

"Is there anyone?"

Su Yuqi stood in the courtyard and shouted twice, but there was no response. It seems that the magistrate of Jiangzhou is not in the yamen.

Also, at such a time, how could he stay in the yamen full of water. He should either be on the front line of the flood fight, or he should be on the front line of fleeing for his life.

Su Yuqi thought that it was best for him to be on the front line of the flood fight, otherwise, the fate of his Zhizhou would be very good-looking.

Su Yuqi searched all over the government office, and finally found a person, this person was a janitor in the government office, who was a little old and was left in the government to guard the door.

"What about your Jiangzhou governor?" Su Yuqi asked him straight to the point.

Su Yuqi's three bodies were already embarrassed, and the gatekeeper looked up and down, indicating that he didn't know the identities of the three of them: "Who are you?" What are you yelling at here? ”

"This is ......"

Su Yuqi stretched out his hand to block it, interrupted the answer of the people around him, and said first: "Old man, the governor of Jiangzhou is said to have fled for his life, let's just come to see if this is indeed the case, what's the matter, are you the only one left in this mansion?" ”

"You're young, are you too idle? What do you do by asking about these? ”

"We're not here to inquire about that. The people on both sides of the strait suffered a disaster, and he, as the governor of Jiangzhou, should have come out to save the people from fire and water, but now there are rumors that he is afraid of running away, which not only damages the reputation of Jiangzhou, but also the people need a leader to take them to fight the flood, and we are here to ask him to come forward on behalf of the people. Su Yuqi didn't know, it was just a lie, and he wanted to take the gatekeeper's words.

The janitor looked displeased and said coldly: "You have also seen it, I am the only one here, Lord Zhizhou is not here, you have run for nothing." ”

"Then may I ask, Lord Zhizhou, where did he go?"

"Where to go? How would I, a janitor, know? ”

"What about the Yamen's Yamen and the fast catch?"

"When the catastrophe comes, they will naturally fly separately."

Su Yuqi had already filled his chest with anger, but his face did not show half a point, but his eyes were colder, he glanced at the old man, turned around, and strode towards the yatang.

"Hey, who are you, how can you trespass into the Yamen Court?"

Su Yuqi's voice was like ice: "You two, tell him who I am." ”

The two of them brushed together: "This is the great Sima of the dynasty, the auxiliary minister Qi Wangye!" ”

The old man's legs were weak, and he knelt down in the muddy water, and there were words in his mouth, "The villain doesn't know that the prince has arrived, how offended, please spare your life!" The prince spares his life! ”

"You stay there." Su Yuqi didn't reply, and said coldly.

Although the old man was disrespectful, he was the last person left, and he couldn't be blamed on him for being reasonable and reasonable. Su Yuqi naturally disdained to have the same knowledge as him.

Calculate the time, the army should be about to arrive, when it comes, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Su Yuqi also transferred a thousand Su family troops, even if there is any accident in the army, the Su family army can get here on time.

Now we can only wait for the arrival of the army.

The yatang was still good, because the terrain was high, there was no water, pushed the door in, and a musty smell came to the nose, Su Yuqi couldn't help but cover his nose with his hand and fanned it, the two hurriedly ran forward and wiped the tables and chairs in the hall, "Lord Wang, please take a seat." ”

Su Yuqi sat down with her clothes, and then remembered that she didn't know what the names of these two people were, so she asked, "What are the names of the two of you?" ”

"The little one is called Zhang Chong."

"The little one's name is Zhang Ning."

"Lord, we are brothers, because the old lady is old, and she has a serious illness, so she can't move the place, so she has to stay and guard the old lady, when the Lanjiang River bursts the embankment, you can't run, fortunately, we usually fish for a living, know how to water, so we didn't drown."

In times of crisis, humanity can be seen. The two people he had no choice but to save were actually two men, and Su Yuqi was a little happy in her helplessness.

"Now that your home is gone, are you willing to follow this king?"

Now is the time to employ people, these two people are also usable materials, so Su Yuqi pushed the boat along the river and sent this favor.

"Small nature is 10,000 willing. The prince not only saved the lives of my brothers, but also took in my brothers, the grace of recreation, toothless and unforgettable, my brothers from now on, the life is the prince yours, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, do not give up! ”

Su Yuqi couldn't help but feel funny and moved, and said, "Listening to the two of you, you don't look like ordinary fishermen, why did you become a fisherman?" ”

Brother Zhang Chong said: "Don't hide it from the prince, the two younger brothers were both soldiers, just because their mother was old, they had to come back to serve their relatives." Alas, I only hate natural disasters, my brothers failed to protect their mother this time, and her old man is gone. ”

Su Yuqi remembered that when he went up the mountain, there was a new grave on the mountain, and he thought it was the mother of the two brothers. One was touched by their filial piety, and the other was saddened by the people who died in the flood, Su Yuqi couldn't help but sigh: "The dead are gone, how can the living mourn." Mourn ye. ”

After a pause, he said, "Since you two are fishermen here, you are familiar with the waterways here, right?" ”

The two of them rushed to say: "It's very familiar." ”

"That's good. After a while, the army will arrive, and I want to bother you two to take them into the water to save people. ”

"No problem."

"By the way, you called the old man in."

Zhang Ning hurriedly ran outside and shouted, "That uncle, come in." ”

The old man was probing his brain outside, not daring to come in, and not daring to leave without permission, he heard Zhang Ning's call, and hurriedly trotted over.

"The prince asked you to ask, and you came in to talk."

The old man entered the yatang under the leadership of Zhang Ning, and the old man knelt down and saluted: "Greet the prince." ”

"Do you know if you have any topographic maps or anything like that in your governor's mansion?" Su Yuqi asked.

The old man said: "The little one is just a janitor, and he doesn't understand this." ”

Su Yuqi sighed and said, "Brother Zhang, I bother you two to look around, things such as topographic maps, local chronicles and the like, I want to study the local terrain so that I know where to start the rescue." ”

The two brothers of the Zhang family hurriedly agreed, and Su Yuqi also stood up and began to search everywhere.

There was nothing in the front yatang except for the tables, chairs, and a few killing sticks, Su Yuqi glanced around, turned around and went to the back ya.

The Houya does have documents and case files and the like, according to this Zhizhou's style, I don't think he is a clear official, and I don't know how many of these case files are unjust and wrongful cases. Su Yuqi didn't have time to care about these things at the moment, and only focused on finding a topographic map.

In a stack of books, I found a dusty place chronicle, looking at the date on it, it was verified a few years ago, Su Yuqi brushed off the dust on it, and opened it to study.

The humanistic pen who wrote this local chronicle is very good, and the work is also meticulous, and the origin of the Lanjiang River and the topography of the Lanjiang River in this section of Jiangzhou are recorded in great detail.

Su Yuqi took the scroll, returned to the front hall and sat down, carefully looking at the scroll.

It is recorded in the book that the Lanjiang River enters the sea from Jiangzhou, and the river water and sea water flow here to form a special saline-alkali land, with many alkali-tolerant plants and trees, and most of the residents make a living from fishing.

The river widens at this point, and reaches the widest part of the estuary, which is thirty-two miles wide.

With such a wide river, it stands to reason that there should be no flood discharge problem, and Su Yuqi was puzzled. Such a question, the two brothers of the Zhang family, who want to come to fish for a living, can give an answer. Su Yuqi glanced at the old man who was kneeling on the ground and was at a loss, and said, "You go and call the two Zhang brothers to come back." ”

The old man trembled, and within a moment, Zhang Ning came back, entered the yatang, and said, "Lord Wang, your name is Xiao?" ”

"I found a local chronicle in the back office, and there is a place I don't understand very well, and I want to ask you."

"Lord Wang, it's okay to ask."

"According to the local annals, the Lanjiang estuary is as wide as 32 miles, so how can there be an unfavorable phenomenon of flood discharge in such a wide river?"

Zhang Ning said: "The prince doesn't know, the river has been unmanaged over the years, and the sediment flowing down from the upstream has accumulated in the estuary, resulting in the elevation of the estuary, and when the flood comes, the flood will naturally be not smooth. Our Jiangzhou fishermen have also jointly signed a sparse sparse, but unfortunately the sparse is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no response. ”

Su Yuqi said: "I haven't heard anything about it in the DPRK and China in the past few years, and I was probably detained by someone. Let's not mention this for the time being, let me go back to the DPRK and make plans again, the most important thing at the moment is to release the flood and save people. Let me ask you, how many years has the embankment in the upper reaches of the Lanjiang River not been strengthened? ”

"My two brothers returned to Jiangzhou five years ago, and since then we haven't seen anyone build a dam."

"Damn Jiangzhou Zhizhou!" Su Yuqi was annoyed, and slammed the table, and the heavy table broke into several pieces under the blow and scattered to the ground, scaring the old man in the hall.

Zhang Ning was also so frightened that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. This prince's martial arts strength is really amazing! Those who tell stories and sing are not lies!

Zhang Chongzheng was holding a topographic map wrapped in oiled paper, and just walked to the door, he was startled by the flying scene, "This...... What's going on? ”

Su Yuqi suppressed his anger and said: "If I remember correctly, the imperial court will allocate repair funds every year, specifically for repairing and consolidating embankments along the Lanjiang River, Jiangzhou has to repair 50,000 taels of silver every year, the imperial court is afraid that someone will be greedy for this silver, so it deliberately sealed the silver in the treasury, and transported it directly to various state capitals without anyone's hands in the middle, but I didn't expect that Jiangzhou Zhizhou was so bold!" Even the money to save lives dares to be greedy! ”

The old janitor in the hall was so frightened that he never came back to his senses.
