Chapter 816: Serious Injuries

Facing the devastation in the city, Lin Zhongchao suddenly felt a little distressed, if he didn't have to capture this city, perhaps, the people in the city could still live in comfort now.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the whole city has been searched, and no enemy troops have been found."

"It's likely that they all fled with Yeluqi," Zhou Yuheng on the side said slowly.

"No matter what, now that everything is in ruins, we want to let these help our people live a stable life." Lin Zhongchao took a deep breath and looked at everything in front of him like ruins, his brows furrowed.

These defective people just want to live a good life.

Lin Zhongchao, as the crown prince and the commander of this siege, is even more responsible.

Because of the consequences of the previous floods, there were still mountains of mud in many parts of the city, and many frail children and old women also fell ill because they could not drink clean water.

Now, what is in front of Lin Zhongchao can be described as a mess.

"First of all, the waterway should be completely dredged, and the dredging must be thorough." Lin Zhongchao made a quick decision.

"Yu Heng, this matter is very important, and you will personally supervise it." Lin Zhongchao said slowly to Zhou Yuheng.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Yuheng replied with a serious face.

Coming out of the hall, Zhou Yuheng immediately organized people to get busy.

"There are not many Langzhong in the city, so we must gather all these sick people together, otherwise many people will fall ill because they can't see Langzhong."

"Well, Wechen will do it." The guards beside him nodded and immediately went out.

After these two things were done, Lin Zhongchao breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, a cold snap made Lin Zhongchao unstable again.

Many people's homes have been burned to the ground, and if there is no place to heat them, many people will surely freeze to death on the road the next day.

Lin Zhongchao asked the guards to bring all the weak people to the palace, and the rest of the people also lived around the palace as much as possible, either in tents, or directly in the rooms around the palace that could barely live in people.

Zhou Yuheng led people to dig out the silt from the waterways in the city, and then transported it directly around the palace, and built a wall around the side of those tents. It's a good use.

Because Zhou Yuheng acted resolutely, soon, the river in the city was completely opened, and the clear water took away the filth in the city, and also brought the smiles written on the faces of the people.

With clean water, everything is fine.

When Yeluqi set fire to the city, the people immediately went to protect their granaries, so although many places were burned, everyone's food was still enough to not go hungry.

After eating and sleeping well, the people were very happy to work.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of reconstruction, Lin Zhongchao rearranged the city.

Because of its proximity to the river, the eastern part of the city has cultivated a fertile field, and although the area is not large, if there is a normal harvest, it will be enough for the people in the city to eat.

The western part of the city became a market place, where all the goods came and went. And Lin Zhongchao can also collect some taxes and silver here, so that he can have the money to build a few more places in the city that are beneficial to the people.

In the south and north of the city, because there was no natural barrier, Lin Zhongchao strengthened the city wall, and also built two new lookouts on the city wall, which could make the guards more secure.

Everything is carried out in an orderly manner under Lin Zhongchao's governance,

And when he is free, Lin Zhongchao also personally visits those who are sick.

This move moved the people in the city very much, and they spontaneously rose up to build the city well.

The flame was high when everyone gathered firewood, and the original ruins quickly became clean, and because of proper care, some sick people also recovered and went home one after another.

Everything is getting better and better.

In order to make all the people who stayed in the city feel at ease, Lin Zhongchao and Zhou Yuheng discussed that they wanted to hold a hundred family banquets.

The first is to gather the hearts of the people in the whole city again to facilitate management, and the second is to take the opportunity to count the number of people, or to find some Yeluqi's people.

Although he didn't find it for the time being, Lin Zhongchao always felt uneasy. If Yeluqi's people stay in the city all the time, it is impossible to say that one day there will be another drama of turning against the city gates.

As soon as the notice came out, the whole city was lively. Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the city, but many people have not seen it yet, and if there is such an opportunity, then it will definitely be possible to see His Royal Highness the Prince.

Soon, the people of the city began to busily prepare their own specialties.

And when the people were busy, Zhou Yuheng took the soldiers and searched the whole city again.

During this search, it was found that two wounded people were hiding in the firewood house of a family, and they were brought back for questioning, and it turned out to be Yeluqi's soldiers who had not had time to escape.

Zhou Yuheng wanted to execute these two people immediately, but was stopped by Lin Zhongchao.

"It's easy for us to kill these two people, but if we don't kill these two people, what will the people of the whole city think, and what will the soldiers who follow Yeluqi think?" Lin Zhongchao looked at Zhou Yuheng and said slowly.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, these two people can't be killed." Soon, Zhou Yuheng understood.

When the people saw these two people, they praised Lin Zhongchao's benevolence and righteousness, and they felt that it was right to follow Lin Zhongchao.

"Come, let's have a cup with His Royal Highness the Prince." The people at the head raised their wine glasses and shouted.

"I also want to toast to General Zhou, if General Zhou hadn't charged into battle, we wouldn't have been able to meet quickly."

"Thank you, General Zhou."

Just as everyone was drinking happily, suddenly a dark shadow flashed out of the crowd.

The black shadow held a stone in his hand and smashed it at the back of Zhou Yuheng's head.

"Be careful," Lin Zhong pushed Zhou Yuheng away violently, but because he was not in a hurry to dodge, his forehead was hit by a stone, and he immediately bled non-stop.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince?" The people suddenly became a pot of porridge, and Zhou Yuheng killed the man in black under his nose as soon as possible.

It turned out that this man in black was a dead soldier trained by Yeluqi, and he didn't carry a sword, and he also wanted to kill Zhou Yuheng by surprise.

"Quick, call Lang Zhong over." Zhou Yuheng looked a little flustered, if Lin Zhongchao had three longs and two shorts, then Zhou Yuheng would not forgive himself in his life.

Soon, Lang Zhong came, but he only bandaged Lin Zhongchao to stop the bleeding, and then Lang Zhong was powerless in the subsequent treatment.

couldn't let Lin Zhongchao die here, Zhou Yuheng immediately decided to take Lin Zhongchao back to the capital.
