In Guangdong.

As Li Jin and Zhu Biao went south, they only felt that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and when they arrived near Guangdong, they even began to rain heavily.

Li Jin thought that the rain would stop after a while, but it rained for three days in a row, but it didn't stop.

Helpless, Zhu Biao and Li Jin could only find an inn to live in first, and as for the carriage, it had already been wet.

Fortunately, it is not far from the jurisdiction of Qinzhou now, and after the Hepu County in front, it will be Qinzhou.

The place where Li Jin is located is Gaozhou Mansion, and the place where the government is located is Maoming.

As long as you pass through Gaozhou Mansion, you can reach Lianzhou Mansion, which is the famous border of Qinzhou.

Since they are already close to Qinzhou, Li Jin and Zhu Biao are not very anxious, but the heavy rain outside disturbs people who are not at peace.

Zhu Biao and Li Jin rested in the lobby of the inn, ordered some food, and began to chat.

"Brother Li, the weather in the south is really strange, such a torrential rain, it can rain for so many days in a row."

Zhu Biao worriedly watched the water outside the door getting higher and higher, and said suspiciously:

"Could it have rained so heavily in the south at this time in the past?"

Li Jin shook his head slowly and said:

"I don't know anywhere else, but in Guangdong, I don't think it's possible."

"It's all close to the sea, and the weather here should change a lot due to the sea breeze."

"But it rained heavily for several days, which was really strange."

The shopkeeper who was serving food to the two on the side, heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help asking:

"Listen to the accents, the two of you are outsiders, right?"

Li Jin and Zhu Di nodded at the same time and looked at the shopkeeper.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was also a self-cooked, and began to tell the two about the local weather:

"Originally, our Gaozhou Mansion was also considered to be in good weather, although there will be this kind of rainstorm every year, but it has never rained for such a long time."

"I just don't know what's going on, since four years ago, the weather here has become like this."

"In the summer and autumn, there are always one or two of these long-lasting rainstorms."

"We're okay here, there are no cliffs and hills, it's close to the sea, there's no mudslide, and it won't be flooded."

"You don't know that Hepu and Qinzhou have experienced heavy floods and mudslides every year in recent years, drowning many people."

"We don't dare to go there at this time."

"Alas, by the way, where are the two guest officers going?"

Li Jin was suddenly a little stunned, if he said that he would go to Hepu at this time, would he be ridiculed by Xiao Er and sent to death?

Zhu Biao couldn't manage so much, he couldn't sit still when he heard that there was a big flood in Hepu County every year, drowning many people.

You must know that since Zhu Biao became the prince, he has been following Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with twists and turns.

However, he had never seen the performance of the Guangdong political envoy, let alone the report of the flood disaster by the Qinzhou prefect.

"These dog officials, they dare to deceive their superiors and subordinates, so many people have died, and they have been pressed down, it's really damn it!!"

Zhu Biao slapped the table, which immediately attracted the attention of the inn.

Xiao Er saw Zhu Biao's momentum, and felt that Zhu Biao's identity must be extraordinary, so he hurriedly said cautiously:

"Guest officer, you use it slowly, the villain just said nonsense, you can't take it seriously, you can't take it seriously!"

As he spoke, he slipped away quietly.

Zhu Biao wanted to catch the shopkeeper again and ask for clarification, but was stopped by Li Jin.

"Brother Li, why are you stopping me?"

"These unconscious officials, I have to bring them to justice."

Li Jin was very calm, and said softly:

"There are a lot of people here, so it's better to keep a low profile."

"Moreover, whether these people are faint officials or not, when we get to Qinzhou, we will find out as soon as we find out."

"Why listen to these people talking nonsense here, no one will admit anything that is not substantiated."

"Take a good rest and rest, and when you are tired in Qinzhou."

Zhu Biao glanced at Li Jin thoughtfully, still angry.

He felt that what Xiao Er said might be true, after all, those officials actually died so many people, and they didn't report to the authorities, and on this alone, these people should be killed.

Li Jin couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Zhu Biao like this.

After all, he is young and too impetuous.

Those who do not report the disaster are not necessarily unconscious officials, and on the other hand, those who report the disaster are not necessarily clean officials.

Whether it is a faint official or a clean official, you still have to watch his deeds before he can judge his quality.

Zhu Biao and Li Jin stayed in the inn for five days, and it rained heavily for five days, and only when the weather cleared up did Li Jin pack his luggage and go on the road again.

During this time, Zhu Biao gained a lot, and in the inn, he received a lot of useful information.

For example, the officials in Qinzhou, which one was greedy for money and took bribes, which one was lustful, and robbed the people's daughters, all of them were recorded by Zhu Biao, and they were waiting to go to Qinzhou City to catch all these people.

In the process, Zhu Biao also got acquainted with a businessman who was going to Qinzhou together, who was chubby and looked very amiable.

Along the way, Zhu Biao was introduced to the scenery and local customs along the road, which opened Zhu Biao's eyes.

But just when Zhu Biao thought he was about to arrive in Qinzhou, an accident happened.
