Chapter 69: Liu Junshou's remorse
Within the boundaries of Beishan County, a kilometer away from Heishi County, there were torrential rains and strong winds everywhere.
It was also accompanied by the rumbling thunder, which made people's hearts tremble, and they couldn't help but tremble under the anger of God.
On this night, the people of the entire Beishan County are destined to have no sleep!
The capital of Beishan County, in Liu's house.
The torrential rain for an hour in a row made the entire Liu Mansion waterlogged! It was half a person high!
The rain is so fierce that it is rare in a thousand years!
Everyone was dripping in the water, constantly saving the valuables in the house.
Liu Junshou stood on a high platform built on a stool, holding an umbrella, and commanded with an anxious face: "Hurry! Hurry! Put these things on the roof for me! Two days ago, the gold coin boxes sent by the grain shop shopkeepers also carried them up for me, don't get drenched in the rain! Tell the city guards to get all the water out of the house quickly!"
"Yes, Lord Gunjo!"
The city guards and domestic servants worked hard to soak in the water to save the property in Liu's mansion.
"Lord Gunjo, it's not good!
At this moment, a servant broke into the hall in a panic and knelt down to Liu Junshou, who was hurriedly changing his clothes, and shouted: "Lord County Guard, there is water in the capital! There is already a flood on the riverside outside the city! The water has rushed over, and the stagnant water cannot go away, it is all accumulated in the city! The people's food and property have been washed away by the flood, and many people have drowned!"
This rain is absolutely terrifying! In just one hour, the river was flooded!
"Boom!!"
A thunderbolt fell, and white lightning exploded above everyone's heads, illuminating the dark night sky.
The wind is even wilder!
The rain is even stronger!
"What!"
Liu Junshou's face was shocked, he didn't care about wiping the beads of sweat on his face, and scolded in a low voice: "These untouchables are really uncomfortable!"
"Hurry up!
Liu Junshou hurriedly shouted.
"I'm here!"
Liu Tian, the overseer of the capital city guard, hurriedly stood up, he was the general that Liu Fu had placed in the capital army.
"Hurry up and send someone to deal with the flood in the city!"
Liu Junshou hurriedly shouted.
He didn't want to save the people in the city, but at this time he had to make some gestures, otherwise he would definitely not be able to escape the sanctions of the imperial capital afterwards!
"Yes!
Liu Tian gritted his teeth, and hurriedly rushed to the outside of the mansion with a group of city guards and began to rescue everywhere.
However, due to the fact that the orders issued by Liu Junshou were not very strict, and the flood was too fierce, the city guards had no intention of rescuing the people at all, and were more concerned about protecting themselves.
There were even city guards who ran back to their homes to help their own people out of danger first, ignoring the people who kept calling for help in the water.
"General Liu, the drainage canals are in disrepair, and many drainage canals are broken!
There are also some conscientious city guards who are working hard to rescue the people, but there are too many people who have no choice but to suffer!
Hundreds of thousands of people in the entire capital city were all affected!
A few thousand city guards can't save it at all!
"Damn! It's useless for you to ask Lao Tzu!"
Liu Tian clenched his fists and scolded with hideous anger on his face.
Liu County guarded the capital of Beishan County, with high soil and high terrain, and never strengthened the defense measures against disasters. Now the flood is coming urgently, the terrain is high, and the disaster prevention facilities are full of loopholes, and some conscientious city guards don't know where to start even if they want to save the people!
Heavy rain overnight!
The number of dead and wounded in the capital of Beishan County exceeded 5,000!
A large number of people were displaced, and the food, clothing, and money in the houses were washed away by the flood!
The wails were all over the field, and the voices of the people shouting the names of their relatives kept ringing, sad and desperate, constantly conveyed in this dark night.
An atmosphere of despair enveloped the entire capital of Beishan County.
Even the capital of Beishan County is so miserable, which shows how serious the disaster in other parts of Beishan County will be!
Some villages were even directly destroyed by the flood overnight! There was no one alive in the whole village!
Although some towns were not flooded, the continuous thunder also killed hundreds of people!
"God is so unfair, why does my Beishan County suffer disasters every year! It's either a big drought or a flood! You're going to kill us!"
A man from the capital stood on the roof of the house, and his desperate hoarse voice sounded, bursting into tears, and asking God angrily.
In that hour, he lost his parents, wife and children, and a good home was swept away by the flood!
The man's eyes were red, his hands were clenched into fists, his arms were exposed, his voice was full of grief and indignation, and his words also infected many people nearby, and everyone's mood was desperate.
This heavy rain came suddenly, and the flood was like a beast, destroying how many people's houses and taking the lives of many relatives!
When is this disaster going to be a head?
The survivors climbed to the heights, shivering and curled up in the leeward corners, trembling as they waited for the dawn.
The rain is still cathartic, the wind is still howling, and the thunder and lightning are constantly cheering!
Finally, the people waited for a faint light to appear in the sky.
Although the rain was too heavy and the clouds were too thick to obscure the sun, at least everyone knew that it was already dawn!
Many people stood up and stood on the roof to look out, and the muddy flood had spread to the edge of the roof!
A large number of corpses floated on the water, as well as a lot of debris and moldy money and food floating on the water.
The people wept bitterly, and many knelt on the roofs, and the sound of crying was heartbreaking.
Who understands the suffering of the people..... Alas, this thief just doesn't want to give the people of Beishan County a way to live!
In Liu's mansion, Liu Junshou, who is the official of his parents, also pitifully stood on the roof with a family, surrounded by a large number of cash boxes and valuables, these are the lifeblood of Liu Junshou!
When the rain subsided, Liu Tian jumped into the flood with a group of swimmers to salvage goods and food.
As for the corpses?
Who is in the mood to care about this now! As far as the eye can see, there are corpses everywhere, and who knows how many people died last night!
As the rain weakened, when the sky was completely bright, Liu Tian led people to open the city gate!
The flood water in the capital of Beishan County slowly receded visibly and slowly, and the advantage of the high terrain was finally reflected, and the flood finally receded to a height of only a person's knee.
As the rain subsided, people came down from their rooftops and returned to their dilapidated homes that had been washed away by the floods.
Liu Junshou also returned to Liu's mansion and instructed the surviving servants to quickly clean up the things in the mansion.
Before Liu Junshou could return some of his clothes, a servant hurriedly came and brought bad news.
"Lord Commander, all the food in our house has been washed away by the flood!"
The servant stood in the flood and said to Liu Junshou with a desperate expression.
"Huh, all the food has been washed away?"
Liu Junshou frowned, and hurriedly shouted: "What's the panic, there is still food in the official granary!"
Liu Junshou is not stupid, he left enough food for the whole city to eat for half a month in the granary.
"Master, it's not good! Some city guards went to inspect the granary of the official family and found that the granary had collapsed by lightning! The grain in the entire granary was washed away by the flood!"
However, another domestic servant hurriedly came and loudly told Liu Junshou the bad news!
Liu Junshou couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly asked, "Really?"
"Yes, sir! The city guards who came to report the news are still standing at the door!"
The servant's face was full of anxiety.
Without the food in the granary, then last night's flood would not only take the lives of 5,000 people, but also threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire capital!
"Out of the way!"
Liu Junshou's face tightened, and then he took a deep breath and said calmly: "I sent people to other counties to purchase grain a few days ago, and as long as you endure it for two or three days, new grain will be delivered!"
The two servants breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said one after another: "Master, then let's go and tell the big guy the good news!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Liu Junshou nodded.
This news can undoubtedly calm people's hearts, it is nothing more than starving for two days, and it is not a big deal for the people of Beishan County.
However, before the two servants could go out, Liu Tian strode over, his face full of anxiety and hurry, and personally came to the hall to find the county guard.
"Lord Gunden, it's not a good thing!"
When Liu Tian saw Liu Junshou, he didn't care about wiping the stains on his face, his face was full of helplessness.
"What's the matter!don't panic!"
Liu Junshou sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell happened!"
"The county... Lord County Guard, the scout has just come to report that the mountain roads leading from Beishan County to other counties have been completely blocked! Last night's heavy rain collapsed these mountain roads, and the entire mountain was crushed! Now the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out!"
Liu Tian said with a panicked face: "I estimate that unless it is a master of the Nirvana Realm who moves mountains, we will be trapped to death!"
What the!
The mountain road is blocked!
Doesn't that mean...... The team that went out to buy food couldn't get into Beishan County?!
Previously, Liu Junshou sold all the grain to Su Yu, resulting in a shortage of food in the capital of Beishan County. Now the mountain road is closed again, and new food cannot be replenished!
It's a dead end!
Liu Junshou's face flickered brightly and darkly, and a breath of depression was blocked in his chest and he couldn't vent.
In this game of chess, he actually led himself to a dead end!
"Poof!"
Liu Junshou couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his face was full of defeat, and he muttered to himself: "This... It's going to kill me!"
Liu Junshou's body shook slightly, his old eyes rolled, and he fell unconscious.
At the moment before he fell unconscious, a strong sense of remorse suddenly surged in his heart.
Liu Junshou regretted why he sold grain to Su Yu in the first place, why he wanted to suppress Su Yu, and even why he regretted why he agreed to the eldest prince to murder Su Yu in the first place!
If these things didn't happen, then he wouldn't have come to the current situation where he was helpless and could only wait for death!
At this moment, Liu Junshou's heart was extremely bitter, and he was desperate to the extreme!
