Chapter 31: The Levee

"I stood here and looked down, but I couldn't see the protruding wall of the association, and I needed to go into the water to find out."

The comprador Gao smiled, and he said: "Special Envoy Su, the depth of the water naturally can't see the wall, and it doesn't matter if you can't see it or not." ”

Su Yuyue said: "I have studied with the master of water control for a few years, and this embankment must be thick and stable to stabilize the water potential, according to what I see now, it seems to be contrary. ”

After hearing this, Master Gao sneered and said, "Special Envoy Su, which Jianghu warlock did you listen to, ours is the best way to do it." ”

Su Yiyue ignored him and said to Gu Mingyuan: "Master Gu, I want to go into the water to take a look." ”

"No way!"

Gu Mingyuan decisively refused, and Lord Gao thought that he didn't agree with her, so he said proudly: "Look, Lord Gu has said so, you better go back and wash and sleep." ”

"Shut up!"

He scolded suddenly, causing the tall man to shut up.

Gu Mingyuan continued: "Ah Yue......."

"Master Gu, please take business seriously."

Su Yanyue's attitude was resolute, and the two confronted each other, and the catcher next to him said quickly: "Boss, why don't we go down." ”

"yes, you can't do everything on yourself, we can help."

After they finished speaking, Gu Mingyuan looked at her quietly, waiting for her to make a statement.

Su Yiyue said helplessly: "Go, remember to come up immediately if there is any danger." ”

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, she took off her coat and went into the water to check, Su Yiyue sat on the side and calculated the time, and the scene was silent.

After a while, the catcher came up and said:

"Boss, no, there are too many undercurrents in the head, I can't see the situation clearly, and I was swept away before I could swim down."

Su Yuyue asked, "What is the shape of the embankment?" ”

"No..... Didn't see ...... clearly."

The catchers were also very distressed, their water quality was not as good as Su Yuyue's, and the river was really turbulent, and they had no choice.

"I'll go."

She took off her coat and was about to enter the water, but was caught by Gu Mingyuan, "Su Yiyue, why don't you always think about it for me." ”

“.......”

Su Yiyue clenched her fists, her heart was entangled in every way, and finally picked up the rope on the side and tied it to her waist, and handed the other end to the catcher, "Count a hundred words, if I don't come up, you will drag me up." ”

"Yes."

The catchers secretly glanced at Gu Mingyuan, and now in the cold atmosphere, they were afraid that he would suddenly lose control.

Su Yiyue jumped into the water with a puff, and the rope was quickly swept into the river, Gu Mingyuan was really worried, she quickly pulled the rope after entering the water, for fear that she would be careless and accidentally lose it.

At this time, the rain poured down, the surface of the lake was beaten up by layers of waves, the wind blew stronger and stronger, and the dark clouds overhead were also shocking.

Caught up and felt uneasy, "Why hasn't this head catcher come up yet?" How many are you counting now? ”

The other catcher was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you counting?" ”

“.......”

The two glanced at each other, and Gu Mingyuan was suddenly angry, "Quickly bring people up!" ”

"Yes."

At first they dragged it hard, but then it was very easy.

Catch quickly said nervously: "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Mingyuan quickly dragged the rope up, but there were still people tied to the other end, and only a few aquatic plants were left hanging from the cut rope.

"Su Yuyue!"

He shouted uncontrollably, accompanied by thunder that frightened the others.

"Master Gu, go back quickly, it's going to thunder......."

Master Gao hid aside, holding his umbrella firmly, watching him be beaten by the wind and rain.

Catch Kuaiye said: "My lord, you calm down first, our leader is very watery, she should be fine." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingyuan uncovered his clothes and wanted to go down, but he quickly stopped him, "What are you doing, my lord, you don't know water, it's useless to go down." ”

"Did you watch her have an accident?"

Gu Mingyuan was furious, and he couldn't bear to look at it quickly, is this still Lord Gu who is usually extremely calm?

They can all imagine what crazy moves he would make if something happened to Su Yiyue.

Catching Kuai was anxious, and saw a person swimming out of the river, and after seeing it clearly, he hurriedly said: "Lord Gu, look, it's the leader!" ”

Another head catcher also looked over and said excitedly: "It's really true!" ”

Gu Mingyuan hurriedly walked over, hugged Su Yuyue, who had come ashore, in his arms, and wrapped himself in his clothes that had been wet.

Just now after she saw the situation clearly underwater, she was about to grab a handful of debris and take it as evidence, but she didn't expect to be dragged up by them, and in desperation, she had to cut the rope with a dagger to collect evidence, but fortunately, she succeeded.

Su Yuyue's hand held a clump of fine wall slag, her lips turned purple with coldness, and she said, "My lord....... The underside of the embankment has been sunken by the river, and this rain will definitely break down the embankment and even flood the people downstream. ”

said that the embankment was not good, the tall man suddenly became angry, "Special Envoy Su, you have to be responsible for speaking, our embankment has just been built, how can it be so easy to break, and it is raining heavily, do you let the people drag their families and mouth to drench?" ”

The onlookers next to him also said: "Yes, we have just settled down, isn't it too child's play to evacuate just based on your words?" ”

"Yes, we participated in the construction of this embankment, and we are very relieved that it is very strong."

Someone complained in a low voice: "I heard that this Lord Gu is so powerful, relying on himself to come down in the capital, he pointed fingers at our parents and officials in Jiangnan, and a few days ago he also lifted Lord Zhang's house, and now he told us to evacuate, who knows if he let his people secretly loot property." ”

"That's really amazing, we support Lord Gao and don't evacuate!"

"No evacuation!" "No evacuation!"

The crowd was excited, Su Yiyue was nervous, and hurriedly grabbed Gu Mingyuan's hand and said, "My lord, you must go, don't let the lives of hundreds of people be lost." ”

Master Gao looked at everyone towards him, he was overjoyed, and said proudly: "Lord Gu, no matter how powerful you are, you have to be afraid of the people's thoughts, right?" I dare to vouch for the head of my neck, this levee will never collapse! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderstorm suddenly sounded, and he was so frightened that he squatted on the ground like a mouse.

Gu Mingyuan's expression was cold, and he said to the catcher: "Let Yun Jue gather all the soldiers and horses, and immediately organize the evacuation, those who disobey the order will be killed!" ”

"Yes!"

The catchers immediately drew their knives to demonstrate, and the rest of them took Gu Mingyuan's token to gather people.

"Huh? This ......"

The people who were shouting next to them were frightened and wanted to resist, but they were afraid of the big knife that caught quickly, so they could only make promises.

Lord Gao hurriedly put on a righteous face, "Gu Mingyuan, don't think that you are sent by the imperial court, we still have the final say on this Jiangnan, and when the matter is over, we will definitely sue the imperial court and let you sit in prison!" ”

Gu Mingyuan picked up Su Yuyue and went to avoid the rain, ignoring him, he was in a hurry, and wanted to hold Gu Mingyuan, who knew that he was kicked by Gu Mingyuan and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Gu Mingyuan, you are lawless and reckless, if there is something missing in the people's homes, we are the only one who asks!"

The people next to him hurriedly helped the tall man up, and looked at Gu Mingyuan and his wife with resentment, but because of the big knife, no one dared to speak, so the ninja could only be silent.

About half an hour later, the rain stopped.

Yun Jue was drenched and came over to report the situation, "My lord, the people have been evacuated, and some of the rebels have been arrested and put in prison, waiting to be released." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Mingyuan's face was expressionless, and he fed Su Yiyue ginger soup.

The ginger soup was so thick that her mouth was so hot that she didn't dare to bring it up.

Because she knew very well that this guy was angry......

Seeing that the rain had stopped and the people had evacuated, Master Gao came to them with a group of representatives of the people, and said fiercely:

"Master Gu, now that the rain has stopped and the embankment has not been washed away, you should give us an explanation next!"

"Yes, don't think that you are great with the support of His Majesty, even if I die here today, I have to give an explanation."

"That's it!" "Yes."

The crowd was still shouting and coaxing, and the sound of the river crashing suddenly quieted everyone.

Gu Mingyuan put down the ginger soup, and Su Yanyue escaped, secretly rejoicing.

He came to the window without saying a word and looked at the embankment in the distance, Su Yuyue also walked over, and soon there was a loud bang, the embankment was washed away like a pile of sand, and the relentless flood quickly flooded the houses and farmland downstream, turning into a flat river.

“.......”

The tall man and the people were so surprised that they couldn't speak, but just looked out the window in a daze.

Gu Mingyuan returned to his position and sat down, and quickly took out a bowl of freshly baked thick ginger soup next to him, Gu Mingyuan took it and patted the place next to him.

Su Yanyue was so frightened that her back was sweating, and she had to choose Gu Mingyuan's big tree at this time, and quickly pushed her over.

"Boss, at this time, we can only sacrifice you to suppress the anger, otherwise we will suffer."

"Yes, we are old and young, and you don't want anything to happen to us, right?"

Su Yiyue looked at this group of bad guys who used her as a shield, and said hurriedly: "I've already drunk two bowls!" ”

"Drink more, it'll be fine, go ahead."

Su Yiyue was pushed over, and she suddenly sat beside him with a bitter face, drinking the hot ginger soup, wanting to cry without tears.

At this time, Zhang Chun, the political envoy of Jiangnan, came over with his feather party, and originally received a message from Lord Gao that he wanted to come over to cure Gu Mingyuan's crime, but who knew that he had just stepped into this lookout, and the embankment was washed away.

Originally, it was not a big deal that the embankment was washed away, and it passed in a daze, but now that things have come to this, the surname Gao has not given himself a way to live, they have all come, so they can only come over to help Master Gao speak.

Zhang Chun said: "Lord Gu, it's really an instant decision, if you didn't see the problem, the lives of hundreds of people downstream of the river would be gone." ”

"Yes, Master Gu is really clever."

The people next to him also knelt down one after another, "It's our stupidity, Master Gu saved the lives of our whole family!" ”

Now everyone worships Gu Mingyuan as a god, as if it wasn't them who were aggressive.

Gu Mingyuan fed Su Yiyue a few sips of ginger soup, and his expression was indifferent, "Since Master Zhang is here, let's talk about how to deal with this matter." ”

"Lord Gu, we have also done a good job of this embankment in accordance with the charter, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of quality, as for Lord Gao, he is also sympathetic to the people, so it is better to punish him a little."

Lord Gao's legs were weak, and he knelt and moved over to hug Gu Mingyuan's feet, "Lord Gu, I am also in a hurry, there is absolutely no other meaning, you have a lot of them, and Mrs. Gu is fine, just spare me." ”

Gu Mingyuan kicked him away, scaring everyone, his expression was cold, and he said majestically:

"I remember that the tall man used his own neck head as a guarantee, in this case, the eldest husband said that it was difficult to chase the horse, so I will arrest him."

"Yes!"

Yun Jue and the others escorted the tall man down, and Zhang Chun hurriedly said: "Master Gu, you only have the right to supervise, not the right to enforce the law, you dare to move my people in my territory?" ”
