It didn't take long to arrive at the Shimen County Ya, but fortunately, the local government took certain emergency measures so that the water did not spread too deeply, but even so, it was still a little troublesome to walk.

Coming to the local government yamen, Tang Jianqiu simply showed the special token of the Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu envoy.

The Shimen County Commander and the local prefect had already heard about this and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and they were surprised and delighted to see Tang Jianqiu so quickly, and invited Tang Jianqiu and the others to come in with the best courtesy.

"Lord Tang has worked hard all the way, and he has prepared warm tea for his humble duties, and he invited Lord Tang in."

Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu was unrestrained and walked into the mansion under the leadership of the county order;

Out of courtesy, the local magistrate and the county order have bowed down to pay homage, and the words are very respectful:

"Humble Shimen County Order, see Lord Tang, the envoy of the town!"

"Xiaguan Shimen Zhixian, participate in the town to pacify the envoy!"

Tang Jianqiu witnessed and hurriedly waved his hand to say no: "The two adults don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

Tang Jianqiu took off the hat as he spoke, and took off the coat by the way, and several clever subordinates hurriedly stretched out their hands when they saw this, and then retreated, and closed the door.

The rest of the brocade guards are naturally not easy to mix, and under the leadership of the butler, they will find a place to rest first, and they will naturally appear when they need to be used.

At the moment, there were only three of them left, and the Shimen County Commander took this opportunity to ask: "Dare to ask Lord Tang, Lord Sun, Lord Qiao, and Lord Zhao where are they now?" But with you? ”

"The three adults came by sedan chair, it is estimated that it will be a few days, I have always been anxious, so eight hundred miles rushed here, I don't know if the county commander can talk to this town about this stone gate."

Although he had heard Zhao Nanxing report on the incident before, he also wanted to know what had happened in the past few days and whether anyone had been injured? Is there a bigger change?

The magistrate looked a little embarrassed after hearing this, but he still said truthfully: "Don't hide it, this sudden rainstorm has covered all the places in Shimen.

The people who are near the water's edge and have small floors are afraid that they will suffer, because the water under the jurisdiction of the lowly office is relatively small, and now they have been repaired by additional manpower, but the people of this place have suffered.

When the rainstorm came, we had already prepared corresponding measures, but we still couldn't defeat God, and realized that if it continued to soar, it would inevitably become a flood, so we sent people to disperse and bring the people near the water source to a relatively safe place.

It is true that some people are good, but it is a pity that some people really do not listen to persuasion.

At that time, the lowly officials had already sent people to persuade them, and even wanted to forcibly take them away, to say that they were also persistent, and they refused to leave anything, and they wanted to defend this house to the death. ”

"How could this happen? It's a pity that even if the house is damaged and the water recedes, it can still be rebuilt, and now that the rain is surging and flooding, it is a matter of time to save your life. ”

Tang Jianqiu can also understand the relatively traditional concept of his parents and grandparents, who think that the old house is the root, even if they want to die, they have to have a piece, which is really regrettable.

"My lord, I have been persuaded several times, and they really don't want to listen!"

Shimen Zhixian was also a little tired when he thought about it, he was also trying to persuade him at the time, and now he heard such words, which really embarrassed him.

The reason why Shimen Zhixian had such a statement was because he thought that Tang Jianqiu was blaming him, so he emphasized it, for fear that he would be punished by Tang Jianqiu.

Tang Jianqiu was not confused, and quickly reacted: "The magistrate is too worried, this town has no intention of blaming, now that the rainstorm is flooding, I will wait for the day to inspect,

It's just that this grain has to wait for Lord Sun and them to come before they can distribute it, and the pacification envoy came on horseback, so it is inconvenient to bring so much food, but he just brought some clothes. ”

"I see, my lord, this torrential rain has lasted for more than ten days, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will cause even greater disasters, and even if people have been sent to deal with it, it is still rampant.

The flood has drowned hundreds of people and destroyed hundreds of houses, but he is just worried that tens of thousands of houses will be destroyed if he continues like this!

As a result, people's lives and local fields will be harmed, and the poor people who survived the disaster are already in a desperate situation! I can't help it! ”

Tang Jianqiu pounded the table angrily, and the picture of the local villagers drowning in the river came to mind, and his words were full of decadence and disappointment.

"Damn! It's a pity that this town has no immortal skills, and it can't share the worries of the local people, otherwise it will save the people of Shimen! ”

"Why bother? It is an honor for the emperor to send your lord to us, not to mention that your lord arrived earlier than the agreed time, which is enough to show your sincerity, and your lord does not have to blame himself. ”

The county magistrate is still worried about another thing, and he is also a little worried about it, cloud:

"There is nothing more worrying about food and the people's illness, and more importantly, the flood will directly threaten the people's survival and food production.

After the flood, there is a high incidence period of epidemics, floods and droughts harm people, epidemics one after another, manpower and medicinal materials are really not enough! ”

This is what really makes Shimen County Ling feel distressed, even if the flood can recede in the end, it will be all kinds of diseases, once it spreads, it is not so simple!

Tang Jianqiu's next words made him breathe a sigh of relief: "Please don't worry, the two of you have taken into account all these Lord Suns, and the people should have no worries after they return to Shimen." ”

Shimen County made Shimen Zhixian feel happy after hearing this, and they had to praise Sun Chengzong, "It's still Lord Sun who is thoughtful!" He is worthy of the Holy Teacher! Humble duties should be learned from adults. ”

"Master Sun Qiao is old, and his experience in handling cases is richer than ours, and it is inevitable that he will be thoughtful, and there is still one thing to declare to the two of you, from today onwards, this town will lead the Jinyi Guards to live in the post house."

Tang Jianqiu said in an ordinary tone, and both of them were shocked when they heard it, as if they couldn't believe what Tang Jianqiu said.

The two of them glanced at each other, their eyes flashing with incredible emotion, and even though they knew that it was inappropriate to say so, they still had the courage to say:

"My lord, why did you choose to live in this inn? This stone gate is not better than Beiping, the conditions may be a little worse, and the private room will be relatively better, why not let the lowly arrangement let the adults live with peace of mind? ”

"This town Fu first thanked the two for their kindness, this post house was originally set up to facilitate the temporary stay of officers and soldiers, since this town Fu came to Shimen to live in the post house, it is also a matter of course."

Tang Jianqiu was originally the master who didn't want to see the local people suffering, but now that he heard that so many people were suffering, he naturally couldn't bear it, how could he be picky? What's more, he also thinks it's not bad.

Shimen County Order was still a little entangled, he always felt that it was still a little inappropriate, and after hesitating again and again, he said:

"Yes...... But this place is too simple for adults and neighbors to live in! It's better for the lower officials to make arrangements for the adults in the state office! Please ...... your adult too."

Before the Shimen County order was finished, Tang Jianqiu refused: "There is no need to be like this, I have received your wishes, and the town where others live can naturally live, and the town has made up its mind." ”

Since he has said so, how can he, a county magistrate, continue to persuade him? I can only nod my head.

Seeing this, Shimen Zhixian hurriedly echoed: "Lord Tang shares weal and woe with the people, fair and honest, but it is not as harsh as rumored, they are all good officials with the reputation of Qingtian, and your honest and simple ambition should be learned." ”

He naturally wanted to tie up Tang Jianqiu, who was from the fourth grade, if he could say a few kind words to His Majesty from his mouth, wouldn't it be beautiful?

It may be a pleasure to use these words on others, but Tang Jianqiu is not useful, he is more worried about the local people than these.

"Lord Prefectural, please take me to see the victims, where are they now placed? Is there enough food in the county government? ”

Shimen Zhixian was about to open his mouth to say something, but the Shimen County Commander hurriedly added: "Due to the sudden humiliation of the incident, the affected people will be placed in the county government's private school for the time being." ”

The Shimen County Commander owes a debt, and his words are very respectful, as if he is afraid of offending him.

Tang Jianqiu's brows tightened, and a puzzled look flashed between his eyebrows, "This is not a long-term solution, but is there any other place?" ”

He knew that this would only solve his urgent needs, and it would definitely not work for a long time.

Shimen County Commander was also a little helpless, and he had no other way to make arrangements like this.

"My lord, the incident happened suddenly, so I can only leave them in the private school for the time being, and the rest of the lowly positions will slowly find a way, oh, by the way, don't you want to go to the private school to see? I'll lead you there. ”

Shimen County Commander and Shimen County Magistrate said that they were going out with a five-color umbrella, and they changed into a set of clothes and hats for Tang Jianqiu, and then they were ready to set off.

Tang Jianqiu is not used to holding an umbrella, he is used to playing guns and dancing sticks on weekdays, it is really inconvenient to move with this umbrella, or it is more practical to fight hats.

Several people each led a few officers and soldiers to prepare for emergencies, but fortunately, this private school was not far from here, and they arrived quickly.

However, as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the crying from inside the door, and they cried heartbreakingly, and they couldn't help but burst into tears.

"O my old man! I told you to go at the beginning, but you refused to go, but now it's okay! How can you call me an old woman? ”

"Daddy! The child misses you so much, why are you so strong? You have to bring your luggage to go! Where is this time! ”

They wiped tears as they spoke, and there were not many people who had similar experiences with them, and it was a bit miserable to say.

"My child, has any of you seen my child? Probably so tall, with a round face, very cute, and wearing a blue dress, have you ever seen it? ”

"Son! Has anyone seen my daughter? My girl looks very watery, has any hero seen it, please let me know, this is too important for my old bones. ”

What I got was still endless silence, or crying in response, even if it was really painful, but I had to accept it.

"Brother! Has any of you seen my brother? My brother and I broke up because of the crowd, and we haven't found it for a few days? Woo...... Elder brother! You can't get into trouble! ”

The whole private school was crying and screaming, and the sobbing and whining continued.

The flood has taken away countless families, countless lives, and hundreds of people's hearts and intestines.

Even though Tang Jianqiu is a military attaché, he is also a flesh-and-blood person, not to mention that he is already affectionate, especially when he sees the child crying heartbreakingly and crying for his mother, he can't bear it.

He expressed deep sympathy for the local people, if it was a natural disaster, it was indeed an inevitable thing, if someone deliberately cut corners when building the embankment in the first place, resulting in a tragedy, he would definitely cut that person with a thousand knives!
