Chapter 9 Doubts

Xiting glanced at Song Zhiyu at this time, and when he saw his unkempt appearance, tears instantly gathered in his eyes, "My lord, my uncle ...... that day."

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly feel that something was wrong, so she said calmly: "Lord Song took the car back to the house that night, not to retreat from the battle and go back to the house to avoid the disaster, but to report to the Xiuhe Division a long time ago, and let them report the emergency flood downstream. ”

Seeing that the Xiuhe Division and the county government had organized everyone to evacuate, but Lord Song was unable to move due to an injured waist, they asked him to go back to the house to treat his injuries first, and the evacuation matters were all taken care of by the river workers and officers and soldiers."

Xi Ting said, glanced at Chen Jing, and suddenly raised his voice: "It can be seen that this disaster is serious, and the blame is not Lord Song, but the misjudgment of the disaster situation by the Xiuhe Division and the refusal of Lord Song's proposal to report the news in time." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Jing stood up angrily: "You ......"

Zhang Ping frowned slightly and glanced at Chen Jing, and then shouted to Xiting: "But this is just your one-sided words, how can you prove that what you said is the truth?" ”

"Hahaha, Lord Song is her own uncle, she naturally helps him speak, there is no evidence, who believes it."

"That's right, so many people watched the carriage of the Song Mansion drive towards the city that night, he must have escaped from the battle, and he couldn't be wrong."

"That's it, I saw it that night, we all ran into the city, and he fled back in a carriage."

“.......”

The people outside the door began to make noise again, talking about the Song Mansion carriage they saw on the official road that night.

Xiting glanced at the people pointing behind her, her eyes drooped slightly, and she pinched her skirt hard, but in an instant, she straightened her back, looked up at Zhang Ping, and said firmly:

"There was a sudden rainstorm that day, and the Song chief was not at ease, so he went down to the riverbank to patrol the embankment just after the unitary hour, and the people and everyone in the Song Mansion could testify."

He came to the Hexiang Village Si Office to inquire about the flood situation at that time, and then inspected the water gate and embankment in the lower flood storage area, and knew that the situation was not right, so he immediately asked people to lower the water gate, and then sent people to report the flood situation to the envoy Chen of the Xiuhe Division and the county government, so that they could immediately report the flood to the downstream and evacuate the villagers. Can ......"

She paused, turned her head to stare at Chen Jing, and then said: "After Chen Si Envoy rushed to the riverbank, he looked at the water tablet and found that the water level was only two and five points, and he felt that it was not more than half of the time, and he could not report the flood, and he was afraid of reporting the flood, and the counties downstream were evacuated from the people, but the flood did not arrive, and he would be blamed on the head of the water official, so he had an argument with the Song chief, and during the dispute, the Song master accidentally fell and injured his waist. ”

"In this way, until three o'clock in the morning, the river workers on duty at the water monument came to report, saying that the water level had reached four, and the river repair department ordered people to report the flood, so there was the fact that the river workers and officers and soldiers hurriedly evacuated the people of Hexiang Village that night, while some villagers were trapped in the river temple."

Speaking of the river temple to avoid the flood that night, Xiting couldn't help but glance at Zhao Shuo, and the scene of him riding across the flood with him in his arms and going to get a hoe suddenly flashed in his mind, and his face was unconsciously stained with a faint blush.

But Zhao Shuo took a sip of tea as if it was none of his business.

Xiting looked at his slightly alienated side face, immediately retracted his thoughts, quickly sorted out his emotions, and then said to Zhang Ping: "My lord, Chief Song has never misjudged the water potential and delayed the flood report from beginning to end, but predicted the disaster in advance. ”

After Xiting finished speaking, he saw that everyone was frowning for a while, as if they were thinking about something.

What's more, she was whispering: "What she said seems to be reasonable, there was indeed a group of people trapped in the back village that day......"

"Yes, I heard that the group of people who were trapped were later found by the officers and soldiers patrolling outside the River Temple."

“......”

As the whispering of discussion reached his eardrums, Xiting knew that the time was ripe, and the onlookers had begun to doubt the truth or falsehood of the events that had been previously defined by others.

This is the most critical moment to turn the tide, and she must seize this fleeting opportunity.

Therefore, she hurriedly continued: "When the water arrived that night, the maiden was also present. At three o'clock, the river workers reported that the water level had reached four, and from the beginning of the evacuation of the villagers to the time everyone hid in the river temple for only one hour, but the flood at that time had been dangerously flooded to the middle of the mountain, proving that the water level had reached at least six water monuments, and the water could rise two times in an hour, which shows the ferocity of the water potential.

In this flood, along the Yuanjiang River, starting from Pingyang County, passing through Taoyuan, Qinghe River and Ningchuan were all flooded.

Taoyuan County, which is 20 miles away from Pingyang County, took the lead in lowering the water reduction gate of the local river section to slow down the flow of the flood, and then went down in Taoyuan County, five miles away from Qinghe County, and smashed open the embankment of the Mohe River to divert the flood water to the Mohe River, which is located in a barren forest, and is also three miles away from the nearest Pingzhuang, so ......"

Xi Ting confidently explained her prediction and analysis, and when she said this, she suddenly turned her head to stare at Chen Jing and asked angrily, "Why are the casualties and farmland losses caused by this flood?" ”

The sonorous and powerful voice fell, and everyone in the hall and the people gathered at the door to watch the excitement were dumbfounded.

They never expected that a seemingly weak and petite woman in the boudoir would be able to analyze the flood disaster in a way that was so clear about the entire Yuanjiang River and the branches of the basin.

Zhao Shuo, who had been with a cold face and no emotion, had a rare hint of unexplained essence in his eyes.

And Lin Congze also looked at the Xiting standing in the center of the public hall in a daze, she was neither humble nor arrogant, her face was full of confidence and resentment.

But in the next moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly took the tea set on the table on Zhao Shuo's side to the side, and then took out a drawing from his sleeve and spread it out in front of him, pointing to one of them and saying: "Your Highness, what this lady Qian said is actually consistent with the results of the analysis of the water superintendent, you see ......"

He paused, and said while moving his finger on the drawing: "Along the Yuanjiang River, Taoyuan County, twenty miles below the river section of Pingyang County, does have a water-reducing water gate, and this Mohe River is between Taoyuan County and Qinghe County, which is a branch of the Yuanjiang River, and flows south to the mouth of the East China Sea, where it is located in a wasteland and there are no farmland and villages, so it is indeed the best policy to lead the flood here." ”

Seeing this, Chen Jing on the side rolled his eyes quickly, and quickly frowned and glanced at Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping hesitated for a moment, and suddenly slapped the shocked wood, breaking everyone's thoughts: "But this is just your speculation, and there is no physical evidence to prove that what you said is true, and this cannot be used as evidence in this case." ”

Xiting was choked for a while: "You ......"
