Because the people here couldn't row except Tan Jinglin, Long Tingxiao asked the guy to take him back. At the foot of the mountain, Long Tingxiao asked the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army to rebuild the boat to the temple, and then let Ma Yuhu and Xingji Mountain get on the boat, considering Ma Yuhu's weight, Long Tingxiao asked Chen Shibing to come up and row together.

Zhang Mengjie looked around in the temple, except for a small wooden window at the staircase that could be opened and closed, there was nothing in front of him almost above Zhang Mengjie's chest, so the light inside was particularly bright. There are several Bodhisattvas opposite, Zhang Mengjie is not a person who believes in Buddhism, so he doesn't know, only knows the god of the stove.

Tan Jinglin set up a shabby table in front of the Buddha statue, and on the table were some paperwork, which should be where he worked here. Next to the table was a mat with a thin quilt left untied.

Tan Jinglin noticed that Zhang Mengjie's eyes fell on the mat, and immediately stepped forward to tidy it up.

Zhang Mengjie said: "Lord Tan doesn't have to be like this, looking at the dust on this quilt, presumably Lord Tan hasn't been lying down to rest for a long time, right?"

"Lord Tan said that this flood will not recede, and he will not be able to lie down." The master who decocted the medicine and served the medicine came up humanely.

"Lord Tan, the body is the capital of the revolution, if the body falls, everything will fall, and everything can be combined with work and rest." Zhang Mengjie said.

"The subordinates don't know how many times they have persuaded the adult, but the adult just doesn't listen, and I see that the adult is losing weight day by day." The master looks humane.

"Niangniang, don't listen to Master Zhou's nonsense, Weichen was originally in such a shape." Tan Jinglin sorted out the thin quilt and stood up, glanced at Master Zhou, and said to Zhang Mengjie: "There is no place to sit here, don't be surprised!"

"We're not here to play. You've handled it well, much better than we thought it would. Lord Tan still drank the medicine first. Zhang Mengjie saw the medicine that Master Zhou was holding.

After Tan Jinglin took the medicine handed over by Master Zhou and drank it, Zhang Mengjie said: "Lord Tan said that when he went to Bian Cheng, he met the two princes of Yusha Kingdom, how are they?"

Tan Jinglin was just about to reply, but Zhao Ziheng said, "They are back." Lord Tan, do you have a ship here? ”

Master Zhou said: "Of course there is, adults have to visit the people tomorrow, how can they go without a boat."

"Alright, let's go downstairs first." Zhao Ziheng said.

As soon as the group went downstairs, Long Tingxiao and a few others also entered the temple.

Long Tingxiao said: "Lord Tan, first accompany us to see the situation of the people in Ligu Town. Then let people take the envoy to Xingyun Mountain. You take the matter that this envoy has given you and discuss it with Mazhi County. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Master Zhou was decocting medicine when Long Tingxiao instructed, so he was puzzled by Long Tingxiao's self-proclaimed envoy, but he didn't dare to ask. Until Tan Jinglin asked him to take out the boat from the back of the Maitreya Buddha statue, he was still ignorant.

Ma Yuhu couldn't figure out what he was doing here. Before he could gain a foothold, he had to follow the crowd.

Long Tingxiao. Zhang Mengjie. Xiao Chengyi, Mingyue Gongzi, Zhao Ziheng are on a boat. Rowed by the guys. Tan Jinglin, Master Zhou, Ma Yuhu, and Xingji Mountain are rowing a boat, rowed by Chen Shibing.

Everyone first went to the foothold of Litang Village, which was a flat hill. Because the flood in Ligu Town is better than that of Mincheng, you can still see a large section of the hill on the water. From a distance, it looks like there are people living on a water island.

Close to the hill, there are artificially treated steps to go up the hill.

As soon as the young man stopped the boat and went up the hill, he shouted: "Dad, folks, Lord Tan is here!"

Fifty or sixty people came out of the rooms in droves.

"Lord Tan, are you feeling better?"

"We're all fine, you have other things to do, you don't have to come to see us every day."

"That's it, that's it."

"Lord Tan, come and sit inside, don't let your body be more weak by the rain."

The people pulled Tan Jinglin one by one, and they didn't care about other people at all.

Long Tingxiao said to Ma Yuhu: "Ma County Order, if you go to see the people of Mincheng, what will the people of Mincheng do to you?"

"This, the lower officials don't know." I don't know if the two words are the enthusiasm of the people of Litang Village for Tan Jinglin, or if Ma Yuhu said it very lightly, so that people can't hear it clearly.

"Wait!" Perhaps because his body was still a little weak, Tan Jinglin's voice was drowned out by the people of Litang Village, and he was pulled in by the people like this.

"Emperor, the envoy, the villagers don't understand etiquette, don't be surprised by the minister!" Master Zhou was very afraid that Long Tingxiao would be annoyed.

"It's okay, this is the parents of Longcheng who want it, and the official envoy is very pleased!" Long Tingxiao said and followed behind.

"Wait, there's still someone!" Tan Jinglin finally had a chance to speak.

Only then did the people of Litang Village see that they were followed by people in strange costumes and Ma Yuhu in a robe.

"What strange clothes they wear?" The people of Litang Village surrounded a few people one by one and touched the raincoats worn by several people, especially around Zhang Mengjie, because she was the only woman, so the women all surrounded her.

Tan Jinglin, Master Zhou, the guy was frightened by the behavior of the people of Litang Village, Tan Jinglin wanted to come and stop him, but Long Tingxiao shook his head at him.

After a long time, the young man said: "Folks, our Litang Village is very hospitable, how can you let Lord Tan and the guests get drenched in the rain outside?"

Only then did the people of Litang Village realize that they were still outside. The group was led by the people into a room in the middle, and there were about a dozen beds neatly arranged in the room. There were a few small benches scattered around, but there was nothing else inside.

When the people of Litang Village learned that Long Tingxiao was an envoy from the capital, someone said: "Lord Envoy, will you tell the emperor about Lord Tan's deeds after returning to the capital?"

"Then do you want the emperor to know about Lord Tan or don't you want to?"

"We don't want to."

"Why?"

"I think it's because Lord Tan is a good official, and it's not your business to deal with the flood well, we are afraid that the court will condemn Lord Tan, and he should be rewarded for his hard work in the flood. I don't want to because we don't want to lose a good official like Lord Tan. If the emperor knew about Lord Tan, he might transfer Lord Tan out, and we don't want Xuancheng to come to a county official who only knows his own well-being and doesn't care about the lives of the people. ”

After the man finished speaking, he also looked at Ma Yuhu.

Long Tingxiao said: "I know. You can rest assured, the emperor will know that Lord Tan has worked tirelessly for the people, and he will not transfer Lord Tan away. ”

"Really!"

"Really. The officials in the capital are all under the emperor's nose, and they dare not use their power for personal gain, on the contrary, the emperor here needs officials like Lord Tan to protect his people for the emperor. Long Tingxiao said.

The people of Litang Village smiled reassuringly.

After sitting for a while, the group went to the foothold of other villages, and the situation was similar to that of Litang Village. (To be continued.) )
