"My lord, Lao Guo is back!"

Just when Huang Xueshu was secretly praying in his heart, he heard the master come to report.

"What?

How could he come back? ”

Obviously, Guo Shihai took the letter for help he wrote, and he has only been gone for a few hours?

"Your Excellency."

Guo Shihai strode in from the outside and hugged Huang Xueshu.

"What's going on, why are you still in the county?"

Huang Xueshu was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but scold.

Guo Shihai heard the question of the county commander, and after being silent for a while, he asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, is the embankment upstream of our county in danger of bursting?"

Hearing Guo Shihai's question, Huang Xueshu was taken aback.

"How did you find out?"

"My lord, why don't you let the people of the whole county move to higher places?

This rainstorm is getting heavier and heavier, in case the embankment bursts, what can we do with all the people in Luo'an County? ”

Guo Shihai saw that Huang Xueshu didn't deny it, his heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but ask in a slightly raised voice.

"Guo Shihai, you are presumptuous."

Master Qiu, who originally came to talk to the county magistrate, immediately jumped out and scolded Guo Shihai angrily in front of Huang Xueshu.

Huang Xueshu had a look of shame on his face, and stretched out his hand to stop Qiu Rongsheng, preventing him from pointing at Guo Shihai and scolding him again.

"The official also wants the people of Luo'an County to move, but without the warrant of Lord Futai, if the official lets the people of the entire county move, if it causes panic, what is good?

What's more, if the common people are afraid, if they run to the capital city, what if it causes the burden on the city side?

Also, the embankment upstream has not yet burst.

If the official asked the people to move out of their homes, nothing happened.

When the time comes, the common people complain and don't say anything.

This matter, Lord Futai will be held accountable, who will bear this responsibility?

The official is also afraid, the official does not dare to gamble, the official has a high hall, a wife and children, and countless clansmen.

Therefore, the official specially sent the three of you to the Fucheng side, and what was written in the letter was that the official begged Lord Futai for mercy and could give a warrant. ”

Huang Xueshu's face was extremely ashamed, but he was extremely helpless.

"But why did you come back again?"

Originally, I thought that the upstream embankment would be able to support Guo Shihai and them back.

Now, I'm afraid it's hopeless.

Guo Shihai didn't expect that the county magistrate would still have such worries.

When you think about it, this concern is not unfounded.

If the upstream embankment is fine, then the county order will let the people of the entire Luo'an County move for no reason, and who will be responsible for the losses caused?

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the subordinates have already found someone to send it to the Fucheng.

The subordinates also know where the worries of the adults are!

However, regardless of whether the upstream levee will burst, it is still necessary to arrange for the people to move first.

I believe that as long as you explain the situation clearly to the people, they should be able to understand. ”

Guo Shihai frowned, remembered the words of the old lady in the broken temple, gritted his teeth, and persuaded the county commander.

"You said it simply, if the people are transferred, do you know how much responsibility the county commander will bear?"

Qiu Rongsheng, as the master of Luo'an County, was originally very kind and approachable to these brothers in the government.

When I heard Guo Shihai's words today, I was so angry that I wanted to jump to my feet, so I asked directly.

"Rongsheng, don't say it."

Huang Xueshu heard Guo Shihai's words and Qiu Rongsheng's questioning, and after being silent for a while, he said to Master Qiu.

"Listen to Guo Shihai, send all the people in the county government out, organize people to go to the county, and those low-lying villages outside the county to evacuate the people.

If it's okay, then God bless the world, and it's the best.

If Lord Futai wants to blame the official, the official will admit all the responsibility. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Master Qiu didn't expect the county magistrate to say this, with a worried expression on his face.

"Rongsheng, do you trust this official?"

"Nature is believed."

Master Qiu didn't expect the county magistrate to ask himself, so he hurriedly replied.

"Since I believe in this official, my official's concern is naturally justified.

While there is still time, evacuate the people to high places as soon as possible.

For the past two days, the official has not been able to sleep peacefully every night.

Because the official knows that one of his decisions may affect the people of the entire Luo'an County.

If it is because the official did not evacuate the people in time, causing them to destroy their homes, how can the official still sleep peacefully in the future? ”

Hearing the words of the county magistrate, Master Qiu, who originally wanted to persuade again, suddenly closed his mouth.

After a long while, he sighed and turned his head to go out.

When he arrived at the door, he turned his head and glared at Guo Shihai, who was still standing in place.

"Didn't you listen to what the adults said, the people from all over the government went to organize the evacuation of the people!

Why are you standing here stupid? ”

Guo Shihai heard this and hurriedly followed.

Guo Shihe and Liang Xing, who went back first, took a lot of effort to persuade their families to leave the county seat and prepare to stay on a higher mountain.

It's just that the women in the family are reluctant to do this, and they feel like that.

has been procrastinating, and when Master Qiu ordered people to persuade the people in the county town to move from house to house, the two of them have not yet packed up their things.

Guo Shihai finally took the time to go back, and when he saw the carts full of things, he was immediately angry.

"What are you doing with these things?

Just bring warm clothes, tarpaulins, pots and pans for cooking, food, and silver.

Everything else, all unloaded.

Guo Shihe, in one hour, took everyone out of the county gate, do you understand? ”

Because of Guo Shihai's stern words, everyone who was originally procrastinating suddenly became a lot faster.

Although I listened to Guo Shihai's words, I didn't bring many things, but I had to bring a lot more than the things Guo Shihai said!

However, they really left the county gate within an hour.

After coming out, Guo Shihe felt uneasy and confused for a moment.

"Brother Liang, where are we going now?"

Although there are indeed high mountains on the edge of the county, but there are so many carriages in their group, it is not very convenient to go up the mountain, not to mention, and he is a little worried, what if this embankment bursts, the mountains on this side of the county will also be flooded?

It is better to stay far from this side, lest he be sinned.

Liang Xing pondered for a moment, pointed to the direction they had come from, and then said to Guo Shihe.

"We went to the ruined temple where we were sheltering from the rain, which is some distance from the county seat.

Most importantly, at least a tile to cover your head. ”

Although the ladies could sit in the carriage to hide from the rain, they rode horses, and although they wore robes, they could not be so drenched in the rain all the time.

After all, if you accidentally get a wind chill, it's fatal!
