Xingchen led the city hall, Duan Qingshi was anxious, pacing back and forth in the room. This time, he came to Jiang Xingchen to save his life.

Three years ago, that is, a year before receiving the construction project of Xingchenling, the Duan family undertook the maintenance and construction of a section of the flood control embankment of Heluoling and Dahonghe.

The Dahong River has a large amount of water, flooding almost every year, and attaches great importance to the construction of flood control levees. The embankment is renovated or rebuilt almost every five years, and a lot of money is invested.

At that time, the Duan family defeated many competitors to grab this job and made a lot of money from it.

Unexpectedly, just two days ago, in early February, a super flood caused the dam to be damaged, hundreds of breaches, and the icy flood overwhelmingly flooded more than a dozen towns and hundreds of villages on both sides.

The catastrophe killed more than 10,000 civilians and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

The Grand Duke of Heluo was anxious, and directly approached the Duan family and asked, how did you build this flood control embankment, there are hundreds of breaches, and they are all muck used. I spent so much money that you did this kind of work for me.

Duan Qingshi was also anxious when he heard this, the Duan family couldn't afford such a big responsibility. immediately refuted the Grand Duke of Heluo, saying that the Duan family was a famous architectural family in the empire, and the quality of the project was recognized by everyone, and there was absolutely no cutting corners.

Of course the Grand Duke of Heluo didn't do it, he didn't cut corners Why there are hundreds of breaches in the embankment, you give me an explanation.

Duan Qingshi was immediately dumbfounded, although he knew that this was caused by the super great Lingxun, but he couldn't speak. There are floods in the Dahong River every year, why is there no such situation? You say it's too big. Isn't this nonsense, where did you come to the conclusion that this time the flood is bigger than in previous years.

I have to say. Without an intuitive comparison and a specific number, the Duan family would not be able to explain it even if they knew it...... The cold sweat of Duan Qingshi's vest oozed out, they signed a contract with Heluo Ling, and the embankment must be guaranteed for five years, otherwise they will be held responsible.

The facts are the same as Duan Qingshi thought, the Grand Duke of Heluo will not forgive, and he must be told by the Duan family. So many people died in his land. With hundreds of thousands of more refugees, it's no wonder he's like this.

And at this time, some of the Duan family's competitors also jumped out when they heard about it. began to attack the Duan family.

"What kind of architectural family, I think it's a family of liars, in order to make money, it's really everything, amazing!"

"Shoddy. Is that what a family of architects is like? If nothing like this happens, who knows that they are such people!"

"If you are doing your hand and foot on the flood control levees, you are not afraid of being punished by heaven, and the sky will thunder!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people are homeless, about to die of cold and starvation, how can you bear it in your heart, Duan family......?"

Many families engaged in construction were unhappy when they saw that the Duan family monopolized the construction of the Xingchen Territory, so they seized the opportunity at this time. All of them are like being beaten with chicken blood. All kinds of accusations and criticisms were added to the Duan family, for a while. The Duan family's reputation in the realm plummeted, and almost everyone shouted and beat them.

Originally, in the past two years, they have undertaken the bulk construction of Xingchen Collar, and the Duan family is in full swing. But this one thing knocked them into the abyss, and it was almost an instant from heaven to hell, and the contrast was so great that Duan Qingshi couldn't speak.

In the end, Grand Duke Helo offered compensation. The families of the deceased civilians paid 200 citrine coins and repaired the flooded towns...... And most importantly, the flood control levees should also be repaired.

Hearing Grand Duke Heluo's request, Duan Qingshi's face turned white. The compensation of more than 10,000 people is nothing, in the past two years in Xingchen Ling, the Duan family has earned nearly 30 million, and spending 2 million is not a matter!

It's nothing to repair the town, and it's not reconstruction, at most five million is about the same. But the reconstruction of the flood control dam is amazing, and the Duan family has to take all the money they have earned in the past two years.

If it's okay to just spend money, the key is to know if there have been major floods or floods in the past few years, and if the flood control dam has another accident, it will be a big trouble.

Duan Qingshi really didn't want to agree, but it wasn't okay if he didn't agree. He can ignore the persecution of the Grand Duke of Heluo, but he can't help the reputation of the Duan family, if he doesn't agree, those competitors don't know how to make up words that are unfavorable to the Duan family, which one will find you if there is a project in the future.

"If I knew this, I wouldn't have fought for this project in the first place!" Duan Qingshi regretted it extremely at the moment, but it was too late to regret it. This time, not only did he lose a lot of money, but also greatly damaged the reputation of the Duan family, and the impact on the Duan family was too great......

After the Grand Duke of Heluo left, Duan Qingshi immediately ordered someone to go to Heluo to study the matter of compensation. He set off for the star collar as soon as possible.

At this time, he pinned all his hopes on the new materials designed by Jiang Xingchen, otherwise if another flood washed away the embankment, the Duan family really didn't have to mix.

This is the reason why Duan Qingshi came in a hurry, but what he didn't expect was that Jiang Xingchen was not at home, and of course no one told him about the new material.

After wandering around the house for a long time, Duan Qingshi ran to ask Grandpa Fu again: "Old Man Fu, has there been any news from the lord, and when will he come back?"

Grandpa Fu was speechless, Duan Qingshi had been here for less than half a day, and he had already asked the same thing seven or eight times.

"Old man Duan, I really don't know, the lord and the old man didn't tell me where they went!" Although Grandpa Fu knew that Duan Qingshi must be in a hurry, it was impossible to reveal Jiang Xingchen's whereabouts.

"Hey!" Duan Qingshi sighed and sat down. Now the reputation of the Duan family has been brought to the bottom by this incident, and if the construction of the flood control levee cannot be completed according to the requirements of the Grand Duke of Heluo, it will be a fatal blow to the Duan family.

After sitting for a while, Duan Qingshi stood up again: "Old man Fu, let's do it, I'll leave a letter for the lord, and if you come back and hand it over to him, I won't wait for now!"

Although Jiang Xingchen said that new materials can be designed at the beginning of spring. But he's not in the territory now, so there's no sense of design. At this time, Duan Qingshi's heart was already half cold.

"Regardless of whether Jiang Xingchen has designed it or not, I can't wait, I can't hang myself on a tree!" Duan Qingshi was ready to go back first, and he also followed the original method, using the best materials, and striving for perfection. As long as it is not a big flood like this year, there will definitely be no problem in persisting for five years.

Duan Qingshi then picked up a pen and paper, brushed a little bit to write down the story clearly, and then said goodbye and left......

On the 10th of February, the fifth day after Duan Qingshi left, Jiang Xingchen and the old man, who had been out for ten days, returned triumphantly, full of twenty heavy wooden boxes, and Grandpa Fu's eyes lit up.

He knew that Jiang Xingchen was going to the twenty-sixth level demon beast this time. If you succeed in killing the Demon Jiao...... For a while, Grandpa Fu was short of breath and felt that his heartbeat was accelerating.

Mei'er girl had already run over, pulling Jiang Xingchen to ask long and short questions, for her, no matter how advanced the demon beast was, it was not as important as her brother. She has been worried about it for the past ten days, for fear that her brother will have some accidents.

Feeling Mei'er's concern, Jiang Xingchen's whole body was warm, he gently hugged Mei'er, and said, "I'm fine, it's all very smooth......"

Before Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, Grandpa Fu walked over and couldn't wait to ask, "Sir, did you succeed?"

"Hahahaha......" Without waiting for Jiang Xingchen to reply, the old man walked over with a burst of laughter: "Not only is it successful, it is simply a bumper harvest, so big that you can't imagine it......"

The old man was extremely proud, with a sè expression on his face, and Jiang Xingchen wanted to step on his face.

However, others were attracted by the old man's words, Grandpa Fu, Mei'er, Du Rushan, Little Catwoman, and Wanrou, all of them had bright eyes, and their faces were full of curiosity.

The old man glanced at everyone proudly, cleared his throat, and said: "First of all, I want to tell you that we have successfully killed that demon Jiao....... have you seen these twenty boxes, they are all inside, a total of 1,600 catties!"

"Gollum!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Grandpa Fu and Du Rushan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They knew that they must have killed the demon Jiao, otherwise the old man would never be so good. But none of them thought that this demon Jiao actually had 1,600 catties.

"Such a big ......" the little cat girl blinked and asked, "I remember the old man told me that the demon Jiao is only ten meters, how can there be 1,600 catties?"

The little cat woman's question is also Grandpa Fu's confusion, and they all stared at the old man, waiting for his answer.

"Hahahaha......" The old man laughed again, and was about to open his mouth to speak, when Jiang Xingchen suddenly interjected: "Because that demon Jiao broke through, it was not level twenty-six, but level twenty-seven, and its body size has skyrocketed a lot!"

"Ahem, cough, cough......" The old man was held back in one breath, let out a violent cough, and then stared at Jiang Xingchen viciously, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with life, and he scolded: "Little Soul Dan, why the hell are you robbing my words!"

Jiang Xingchen glanced at the old man, didn't speak, just laughed. That look made the old man's fist itch for a while.

Grandpa Fu and Mei'er didn't pay attention to the old man's depression, and when they heard Jiang Xingchen's words, they gasped violently.

"Twenty-seventh-level demon beast, God......" Du Rushan muttered, shaking his head incredulously, if you want to say that it is okay to kill a twenty-sixth-level demon beast, but it is twenty-seventh. Don't look at it, it's one level worse, five or six twenty-six levels are not the opponents of level twenty-seven.

Everyone was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths for a long time, and then their faces changed. Especially Mei'er, she grabbed Jiang Xingchen's hand tightly, and her little face was full of fear.

Not only her, but everyone was very afraid, and they all knew now that killing the demon Jiao this time was by no means as easy as the old man and Jiang Xingchen seemed on the surface.

Jiang Xingchen looked at everyone's expressions, then squeezed Mei'er's hand, and said, "Actually, it's not too dangerous, I blew it up with a mine, and then Pink shot out, and wiped out the demon Jiao with one blow!"

"What?" the crowd exclaimed in unison, their eyes glaring again in disbelief. (To be continued......)
