This is not for show.

After ten days, Hu Rong's neck was already peeled off from the sun, and his nails were also black.

You know, the duty of the captain is to arrest bandits and maintain law and order. It is a military post, but they are all serious scholars who are awarded officials by Jinshi.

Being able to make this look is definitely not just a temporary appearance.

What's more, the disaster victims in Lucheng Town were also well settled by him.

Zhao Huan admired such a person very much.

When the flood is over, it is necessary to be promoted to magistrate, and it is not impossible to be a judge or a capital official.

"Currently, Lu Chengcheng's self-help is on the right track, and your stay here is just to inspire the hearts of the people, but it has little effect.

Benniu Town in front has been destroyed, and its land is where the sluice is located. It plays a key role and must be repaired this morning.

I mean, how about you and I go south to Benniu Town, preside over the sluice gate of Benniu Town and rebuild the town? " Zhao Huan said.

Hu Rong was silent for a moment, and said: "The minister is Danyang County Captain, and his authority is only valid in Danyang. It is not appropriate to go to other places without authorization."

"In extraordinary times, we should do extraordinary things." Zhao Huan sighed, and then said: "Come forward to report, Mengfang sent Lin Xuan and Zhong Yuan to repair the Benniu Sluice, killing more than a hundred people every day.

When Ben Gong went, there would be a massacre, Wu Jin might not leave anyone behind.

Killing people is fun, but there will be no one to do things. You bring some manpower and prepare to take over the repair of the Benniu Sluice, and at the same time preside over the Wujin disaster relief work.

Guzhi County has been notified of this matter, and the deadline is until the new officials sent by the imperial court arrive. "

Meng Fang is the magistrate of Changzhou, Lin Xuan is the magistrate of Wujin County, and Zhong Yuan is the chief book of Wujin County.

Because the canal is related to the national destiny, after being washed away by the flood, Mengfang ordered Wujin to repair the sluice and dredge the Wujin section by the end of August.

As a result, Lin Xuan arrested the young and strong among the victims on a large scale, and exchanged their lives for time to repair the sluice.

Hundreds of young and strong people die of exhaustion every day, which can be described as overwhelming public grievances.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhao Huan to let such a person go.

Hu Rong didn't think Meng Fang and the others could be saved, so he didn't plead for mercy.

After a moment of silence, Hu Rong bowed and said: "The minister takes orders."

"Good." Zhao Huan looked at the busy crowd outside the city, and said again: "Today you gather your followers, and I will take a step first to sweep away those evil spirits!"

"Your Highness is exhausted, why don't you rest for a while, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." Hu Rong said politely.

"Stay a little longer, and one more civilian will be killed or injured, and the town of Benniu is not far away." Zhao Huan sighed.

Although it belongs to two prefectures, Benniu Town is only twenty miles away from Lucheng Town.

The two canals are connected, and it is also the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. It was originally a densely populated place.

However, when we arrived at the boundary of Changzhou, it seemed like two worlds.

There are always people busy in the fields in Lucheng Town, rushing to replant or rest their houses.

Under the rule of Benniu Town, the fields were full of mud and water, and occasionally seedlings were seen, but not a single farmer.

In those villages, there are only some walls that have not completely collapsed, and none of them are intact.

The young and the strong were expropriated, and the old and the weak, women and children struggled to survive, so they had no energy to repair houses.

As for the cooking smoke, you can't see a single place for three to five miles.

It's not that everyone is dead, but that there is no food, so naturally there is no need to light a fire.

The roads are silted up with mud, and there are many stones and logs, which is not conducive to the galloping of cavalry.

Fortunately, it has been exposed to the sun for several days and the road surface is dry, so there is no harm in rushing.

It's just that the dust is flying up, and everyone is ashamed.

Seeing more than [-] riders approaching, those common people were all staring blankly at the side of the road, looking extremely numb.

All of them are unkempt, disheveled, skinny, weak, and very pitiful.

"Straight mother thief, you should be killed!" Cursing angrily, Zhou Ang took out the dry food bag and threw it in front of a victim.

The other soldiers followed suit and released dry food bags.

There are more than fifty people, just a little bit of personnel, more relief, and Liu Ziyi's large army is needed.

It's just that the victims didn't dare to move. They picked it up after the prince and the guards had disappeared.

The cavalry could not gallop, and when it was getting dark, they had only traveled fifteen or six miles, and they were still four or five miles away from the location of Benniu Town.

Four or five miles behind, Li Cheng led an army of [-] infantry and followed behind.

When Zhao Huan entered Benniu Town and took down officials of all sizes, the infantry just stepped in to control the situation.

Why not together?What if I scare someone and run away?

"Report~" Yiqi flew over and said: "His Royal Highness, Prince Xima Wang Lun's inspector Kong Gui is already waiting in front, waiting for the imperial edict."

"Call here." Zhao Huan said.

Yu appointed Prince Zhan Shi to inspect the Jiankang Mansion and Guangde Army disaster relief work, while Wang Lun was responsible for investigating the details of the three prefectures.

This Kong Gui is the one who collected evidence from Benniu Town.

When this time came, there must be a reason for Zhao Huan to kill.

Kong Gui came to see the ceremony, took out a book, and said: "This is the list of victims collected by the minister. The details of the murders are detailed, and there are also victims. The evidence is very convincing."

"Thank you." Zhao Huan took it and said, "Light up the torch and continue on your way."

He is the prince, and it is more intimidating to reveal his identity, so there is no need for a surprise attack.

After walking another two or three miles with a torch, a forest appeared in front of us.

Can only detour.

This piece of trees was washed away by the flood, it was difficult for people to walk, and it was even more difficult for horses, so it was better to go around.

To the west of the forest is the canal waterway, so you can only go east.

It's actually not easy to go here.
