At this time, he limped towards me, and his face also became unsightly, but looking at his face, he looked like a person with some knowledge.

When he came to me, he leaned over and said, "Guys, are you looking for the county magistrate?" ”

I hummed and said yes.

"I know where, I can take you there."

I said thank you, and then asked, "I don't know what to call Mr.?" ”

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a cripple, you can call me Zhang Xing."

I still called him Mr. Zhang, he led the way in front, we followed behind, Zhang Xing said to me: "There is a city in front, it is a city next to Shucheng, the disaster is not serious, and now the adults in Shucheng have gone inside, but this Liaocheng is closed and refugees are not allowed to enter." ”

Zhang Xing's legs and feet were inconvenient, I asked the red wood wolf to carry him, he was worried that the red wood wolf would not move him at first, but after waiting up, he found that the red wood wolf was walking like flying, so he accepted it with peace of mind.

After about an hour's walk, we reached the bottom of the city, where a large number of refugees gathered outside, all shouting to open the city gates.

But the soldiers and officials defending the city were indifferent, and many people had already died below, and some of them even had their bodies stinking.

Zhang Xing pointed and said: "The officials of Shucheng may still be drinking wine and eating meat in it now, and they are alive, and we are left to be pitiful!" ”

Cao Tianshi scolded angrily and said, "This group of people is really wolf-hearted, I'm going to go in now and question them." ”

Zhang Xing saw it clearly and said: "It's useless to question." ”

Naturally, I don't know how corrupt some officials have become, since I have been in the prefecture for so long.

At about eight or nine o'clock in the morning, I sat down and pondered for a while, and then I went up and shouted to the soldiers guarding the city, "Open the gates, and I want to see you." ”

The soldier sneered, his eyes had already become insensitive, as if he had heard this kind of words countless times a day, and then he said coldly: "Our family adults don't have time to see you." ”

When he had finished speaking, I jumped into the air and went up to the tower, and the soldiers immediately besieged me and prepared to strike at me, and I quickly took out the sign symbolizing my status, but they did not stop, of course, it is not excluded that they may not know how to read.

But after a while, someone recognized me, called me Master Zhang, and took the lead in kneeling, and the rest of the people also knelt down.

I didn't let them open the city gates rashly, I wanted to find out the real situation first.

I was led towards the county office, and soon I saw several adults, all wearing brand new clothes, with red faces, looking good at food and housing, and even in a good mood. As soon as I revealed my identity, they saw me.

Let me say it.

I asked lightly, "Why don't you open the city gates?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, they looked embarrassed and said, "Lord Zhang, this city gate can't be opened, and if it is opened, Liaocheng may not be able to keep it. ”

He said it was possible.

I went on to say, "Then take out some of the food and go to the disaster relief."

He then retorted, "No! Lord Zhang, there is not much food in Liaocheng, if there are not many refugees outside, you can also provide relief, but there are many refugees outside, and if the city is opened to release food, there will definitely be more refugees pouring up. ”

I scanned the crowd and saw that they didn't want to open the city gate at all.

I then said, "None of this works, none of that, according to the opinions of a few adults, what should be done?" ”

"Lord Zhang is angry, and the officials don't dare to make a decision, the court didn't send the prince over this time, otherwise wait for Prince Husu to come over and make a decision."

I was a little angry when Prince Husu came to press me, and asked again, what about the disaster relief money that the imperial court gave you?

Someone came out to respond, and with a sad face, said: "Back to Lord Zhang, this flood is menacing, and the court has not given much disaster relief money, we have all used it to fight the flood, you also know that flood control requires money, manpower and material resources, so that money is really not useful, we have written to the court, let the court allocate disaster relief funds again as appropriate." ”

These people are really cunning and cunning, and no matter what I say, they just don't give money.

My emotions had reached a point, I reached out and grabbed the collar of the nearest official near me, and I said angrily: "Lord Ben orders you, now open the city to release grain, no matter what you are doing, if you don't release food, Lord Ben will come to the first and then play today." ”

As I spoke, I drew my big fishing sword.

One of them also questioned me, "What right do you have to kill them?" ”

When he had finished speaking, I took the big fish sword and slashed it on his arm, which made him immediately wail, and he was still lying on the ground and rolling on the ground, and at first glance he was a person who had not suffered, and the rest of the people looked at me with a look at each other.

I said I wouldn't go soon.

They were ordered to go quickly. I went out of the city to keep an eye on them, and put some food on them all day.

But there are still many people who don't have enough to eat.

Zhang Xing also learned my identity, became more respectful to me, and said to me: "My lord, the problem between Liaocheng and Shucheng is too big, please be aware of it." ”

I hummed and said I'd try.

I now want to find out what the cause of this flood is, and at this time the sky is gradually getting dark, and I asked Liu Guan and Zhang Xingcao Tianshi to stay here. I sat on the red timber wolf myself and headed for the worst of the flood.

Along the way, corpses were constantly found, both adults and children.

And looking at this rain, it seems that there will be a flood coming, and when it comes to Shucheng, the boundary is almost all submerged, and there are basically no people to see, only the corpses can be seen floating on the water, and the situation is not tragic.

The red timber wolf couldn't help but whimper.

When I had not stood for a while, several figures suddenly appeared on the water, and they came up to me and said, "Meet the new king of the East China Sea." ”

They were standing on the water, and they didn't sink any further.

Kneeling on the water like this, I knew it was the local river god, the water officer.

Let me say it. They stood up, but looked down at me. I asked, "What the hell is going on here?" ”

The river god opened his mouth and said, "We also do things according to the rules, and we just follow the orders from above." ”

"Whose order is it?"

"Returning to the new king of the East China Sea, this is the order of the Dragon King of the South China Sea. And this body of water is also under the jurisdiction of the South China Sea. ”

I replied lightly, and when he said this, he was also implying that even if you were the new king of the East China Sea, you had no right to interfere in the affairs of the South China Sea.

"Why?"

"I don't know, we're also acting on orders."

"Then the flood waters will recede in a few days."

"We don't know, we're still waiting for orders from above."

I smiled in my heart, if it was right, it may be that Nanhai and Prince Hu Su colluded, but what is the purpose of this? At least hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by the disaster, and I don't know how many people have died. Is it true that human life is not life?

I didn't ask them any more, because even if I did, I wouldn't get a result. So I'll let them go. After that, I went into the water myself, followed the river, and I could reach the South China Sea.

It took about half a day, and it was late at night, when I arrived in the South China Sea.

When I arrived in the South China Sea, the atmosphere in the South China Sea became tense for a while, and even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarding the gate looked at me vigilantly.

Although they were wary of me, they had to show me a superficial respect. Soon someone came up to me and asked, "I wonder what happened to the new king of the East China Sea?" ”

As soon as I opened my mouth, I said, "I want to see the Dragon King." ”

They told me to wait a little and return the price quickly, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, I was led in and saw the Dragon King of the South Sea, who looked like he was on top of him, as if he didn't take me seriously at all.

asked: "If you don't stay in the East China Sea, what are you doing in the South China Sea?" ”

I replied, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and this king is here, so naturally there are important things." ”

"Whatever it is, you say it."

"Why do you want to kill innocent people?"
