"Please, please......"

The old man didn't live on the ground and kowtowed, he was not only afraid of going up the embankment, but also really worried that his wife was still stupid at home.

"I'm telling you, if this levee is not repaired today, you and your bad old woman will die!"

The water of the upper reaches of the river comes from the valley of the Yellow River along the high mountains and valleys.

On the plain downstream, the closest to this valley is Zhijiang Castle, in order to prevent the river from being too turbulent and the city will be washed away during the flood period, Emperor Wu specially set up two embankments in this valley.

The levees on the heights are at the exit of the valley and are used to hold back the rushing mountain streams.

The lower ones are in the valley to prevent the water level from rising. However, although the embankment looks simple and easy, the actual construction work is very large, especially in this rainy season, and it is difficult for even the construction team to complete the embankment before the flood season arrives as originally planned.

Originally, the imperial court allocated funds to build this dam, but Su Tianyang's heart was black, and he directly swallowed half of the silver taels.

The embankment, which should have been made of giant wood and strips of brick, was instead reinforced with sacks of stones, strips of reed mats, and clumps of vegetation. But this means of flood protection is not sustainable. As the riverbed rises, so does the levees, and finally, the Yellow River appears to flow along a semi-natural aqueduct that rises more than ten meters above the floodplain around it.

However, coupled with Su Tianyang's greed, the construction was not solid, and when the embankment broke, it would always burst eventually, and the result would be even more disastrous.

As the years passed, the river continued to wash through the embankment, and finally broke through the mud wall, and Li Yunxing could directly see that in the central part of the river, where the river was most turbulent, the embankment had cracked a huge gap.

Nowadays, in order to plug this gap, it can only be repaired with the most traditional "grass and mud".

A few days ago, they had already come to repair the entire embankment, and when they looked down from a high place, it was nearly six zhang high, and they felt crumbling just walking on the edge of the embankment.

Not only are they afraid, but the officers and soldiers in charge of Jingzhou's disaster relief are also afraid.

But in order not to risk themselves, they forced the people of the city to repair the embankment, and gave each person a subsidy of ten cents.

These people have no choice, who told them to have swords and guns in their hands? I had to resign myself to climbing the embankment to repair it.

Because of cutting corners, the embankment promenade, which was supposed to be three people wide, became only passable for one person.

Now that the wind is blowing on the river, and the speed of the river is accelerating, they feel that the embankment is crumbling just by standing on it, how dare they carry the heavy "grass and mud" up it.

At this time, standing on the shore, Li Yunxing's face was gloomy and terrifying.

"Get on board! Or I'll kill you right now! The pavilion chief drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at the old man.

The old man had a desperate expression on his face, and he knew that no matter what he did today, he couldn't change his fate.

He gritted his teeth and walked slowly to the river, picked up a piece of mud and rock, and slowly walked along the crumbling embankment towards the center of the river.

"Hurry up!"

An old man walked slowly, he didn't expect that he was so old and would come to this embankment to do his life's work.

The official behind him pushed him, causing him to fall face down on the stones of the embankment, and when he looked up again, his face was covered with blood.

"Don't deceive too much!" The middle-aged man standing beside the old man suddenly stood up and glared at everyone.

"What kind of green onion are you, you still dare to resist the government!" Seeing this, the official immediately brandished his knife.

The middle-aged man raised the hoe to block it, only to hear a "poof", the hoe was cut off, the blade cut the wrist of the middle-aged man, and bright red blood flowed down his arm.

When he wanted to slash again, the pavilion chief was whipped to the back by Li Yunxing with a horsewhip.

"Ah......h

"Bold!" Seeing this, another pawn immediately pulled out the saber on his waist and stabbed at Li Yunxing.

Li Yunxing threw the horsewhip in his hand at the pawn, and then Lian Jirou quickly rushed forward and grabbed the opponent's right arm holding the sword.

The pawn couldn't dodge, and the whip slashed directly into the front, a long whip mark from the forehead to the chin.

On the other side, there was a "click", and the bones of his right arm were directly removed by Lian Jirou.

This time it was even more serious than the wound suffered by the pavilion chief, and he lay directly on the ground, howling in pain.

And the middle-aged man who had just been stabbed by the pavilion chief also reacted quickly and shouted, "Folks, go on!" Hold them down! ”

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding villagers immediately rushed up to help, and soon subdued the officials.

They were also peasants who worked in the fields, and their strength was no worse than that of these well-trained local soldiers. Three or five people hold down a pawn, which is more than enough.

Seeing this, the nearby villagers all ran over and joined the battle.

When those local servants saw such a formation, they were all frightened, and one by one they threw away their hands and left as if fleeing for their lives.

The pavilion chief was trampled under Li Yunxing's feet, and the soil became soft because of the river.

Half of his face sank into the dirt, and his snot and saliva were a mess.

"Big ...... Uncle spared his life...... "The pavilion chief begged for mercy with difficulty, "I don't dare to ...... anymore"

Li Yunxing sneered: "Didn't you have a good fight just now?" How do you know now that you're scared? Tell you how, it's late! After saying that, he stepped on it again.

Immediately, the other side of the pavilion chief's face was also stepped into the mud by Li Yunxing, and the yellow mud and sand mixed with water poured directly into the other party's mouth and nose.

Li Yunxing didn't look at him anymore, and turned his head to look at the pawn.

"Say, who made you so powerful and bullying people that you dared to do something to the common people, do you really think that this day is far away, and no one cares about it here?"

The pawn originally wanted to say something, but looking at Li Yunxing's fierce face, he was so cowardly that he didn't even let out a fart, and directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Li Yunxing was even more annoyed when he saw this, and he slapped another whip and drew a cross directly on the pawn's face.

"This palace asked, let you answer, didn't let you kowtow!"

Li Yunxing was really angry, the old man seemed to be over sixty years old, and he was already old in his time, but he was forced so embarrassed by those officers and soldiers that he was injured.

Li Yunxing was distressed, this is how they provided disaster relief?

The people have suffered so much, and they still want to oppress the people?

"Who made you do such a conscientious thing!" Li Yunxing became more and more angry, picked up the whip and slammed it at the other party.

"Ahh
