Huo Yunchao clapped his hands and called on the people to take action: "Please remember not to fill up the sandbags and take action! I will protect our homeland with you all!"

The floods were severe, and there were many things floating in the endless yellow-brown water that ordinary people had no time to clean up. Some people recognized their own furniture, and others recognized pigs, ducks and dogs swimming desperately.

If Huo Yunchao hadn't spent a lot of money to buy the people's poultry and livestock before the flood really hit, some people might have risked their lives to go back and find them.

Less than ten sandbags had been filled when the rain turned from light rain to heavy rain, and the downpour washed away the sand pits.

With heavy rains, the sand will become heavier and the people will have to work harder to pack and carry it, but no one has any complaints. Protecting their home is what everyone should do.

Downstream of the flood discharge area, Huo Yunchao used money and coercion to force the villagers to move away. However, there were always areas where gaps needed to be plugged. It was obviously impractical to use black gunpowder to blow up embankments and release floods.

Therefore, what Huo Yunchao has to do is to inspect various key locations in the flood discharge area. Bet on the key locations and omit the key locations. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

What's more, people's hearts are moving.

Huo Yunchao thanked from the bottom of his heart those who worked hard to create a good image of himself in the past, so that the people were willing to believe in him and obey his arrangements. Everyone can work together to do the right thing.

Under the leadership of Huo Yunchao, the people in the disaster area actively exerted their subjective initiative, and their efforts were not in vain. Pinglehou Mansion continuously sent food, clean water, rain shelters, firewood and other relief materials to various places in need.

Jia Er not only took the money box to buy food, he also made a special trip to the county government office to convey Huo Yunchao's opinions on dealing with profiteers to Zheng Shaoxuan.

Zheng Shaoxuan was so busy that he was dizzy. He learned from Jia Er that someone was driving up food prices at this juncture and harming the victims. He suddenly changed his expression and immediately ordered the government officials to go out and arrest all the profiteers into the county government office.

When the yamen officer went out for a trip, Zheng Shaoxuan discovered that the yamen officer had arrested eight profiteers who were colluding with each other. He immediately threw the people into prison and waited for a few days before examining whether the profiteers were driving up food prices.

At midnight, Magistrate Wang returned to the county government office. When he entered the study, he saw the note left by Zheng Shaoxuan. He sighed softly: There were too many things and they were too urgent. The profiteer would save them for later investigation.

There is no shortage of witnesses and physical evidence, but Magistrate Wang does not want to unjustly accuse good people.

When it comes to matters where human life is at stake, Magistrate Wang has always acted cautiously and never engaged in a dictatorship that "would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go."

Situations like that of Mrs. Lu and Aunt Lu are very rare, not to mention that Lu Da has a criminal record in the county government. Despicable, shameless and irresponsible scum like Lu Da should be cut to pieces!

The minister of the Ministry of Industry did not come back. He stayed in the resettlement area for the victims, huddled in a straw shed with the government officials. He had too many things on his mind and could not sleep, so he wrote what he saw and heard under the weak candlelight.

He wrote at the end of the letter: Among the people in the court who falsely say that Pinglehou is a son-in-law who has lost a man's face, how many people can be as upright as Pinglehou? Risking your life for the common people?

In order to block the gap and prevent the flood from destroying the fertile farmland, Huo Yunchao led thousands of people to fight all day and night until the rain stopped!

It was the same time as the rain stopped in the original owner's memory. Huo Yunchao's brain nerves that had been tense for many days relaxed a lot, and he sneezed several times in succession.

Receiving Jia Er's gaze, Huo Yunchao touched his nose with some embarrassment: "Jia Er, don't tell my wife that I sneeze."

Xu Ning asked Jia Er to bring medicine to dispel wind and cold. Huo Yunchao drank it, but he didn't know why. He vomited as soon as he drank it, and it was as if he hadn't drank it.

Jia Er once said that he would bring the medical girl to treat Huo Yunchao, but Huo Yunchao sternly refused. The medical girl studied under the imperial doctor. She has superb medical skills. With her sitting in the resettlement area for the victims, the common people can prescribe the right medicine for headaches and fever.

Of course, Huo Yunchao was most worried about the epidemic after the flood. In the memory of the original owner, this plague claimed the lives of more than a thousand people.

Natural disasters are ruthless. After the floods receded, the originally clean and orderly villages became mass graves of humans, poultry and livestock. In the villages most severely affected by the floods, corpses of different shapes could be seen everywhere, and the disgusting smell of corpses spread far and wide. Far.

Jia Er no longer asked for Huo Yunchao's opinion. He knocked Huo Yunchao unconscious with a knife and mounted his horse with the unconscious Huo Yunchao in his arms.

Some people noticed this scene, and their exhausted faces showed the most genuine concern for Huo Yunchao: "What are you going to do to Mr. Hou?"

General Jia Er showed Huo Yunchao's face, which was burning red, and said loudly: "Master Hou is unwilling to go back to see the doctor, so I have to use this method."

The common people who surrounded Jia Er noticed Huo Yunchao's flushed face and made way for Jia Er to gallop forward.

"Is something going to happen to Mr. Hou?"

"Bah! Can't you say something nice with your crow-mouthed mouth?"

"Hey, I decided to buy the longevity card for Mr. Hou at home."

"What? Didn't you hear Mr. Hou say..."

"The Marquis said that we should not forget to buy the longevity tablets for His Majesty! If the Marquis asks, we will say that there is plenty of wood for making longevity tablets, and we can set up more of the Hou's longevity tablets at home! Isn't that okay? Yet?"

"Hey, you have a good brain! OK! Let's do it!"

Huo Yunchao, who was suffering from high fever, didn't know that the people he had warned so carefully had creatively given them an excuse to put up an extra longevity card!

Jia Er hurriedly drove Huo Yunchao, whose temperature was rising, to the resettlement area for the victims as quickly as possible. He found the medical girl who was taking medicine to fall asleep: "Doctor girl! Come and show me to Mr. Hou!"

The doctor girl was startled, and hurriedly got up to check on Huo Yunchao. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief: "The Marquis is fine. I just made a pot of medicine. You can feed it to the Marquis."

At this moment, Xu Ning came over with little Fubao who was crying and shouting to find his father. When he saw Huo Yunchao, who was so feverish that he began to babble, his heart twitched: "Ms. sir!"

"Daddy!" Xiao Fubao reacted faster than Xu Ning. She rushed to Huo Yunchao and tried to reach out to shake him.

She forgot how long it had been since she had seen her father. She only knew that it had been a long, long time before she finally saw her father. What she saw was a patient with a high fever. She was so frightened that she wanted to reach out and touch her father but was afraid of disturbing her father. sleep.

"Daddy..."

Xu Ning took a deep breath: "Doctor girl, how is Mr. Hou's condition?"

The doctor simply explained the situation: "Madam, you came just in time! Mr. Hou is fine. He was overworked and exposed to the rain. As soon as a person relaxes, the fatigue hidden in the body bursts out. Madam, Mr. Hou drank the medicine After driving away the typhoid fever, I may still be able to sleep for a few days."

Xu Ning felt a little relieved after hearing this. She took the soup bowl sent by Jia Er and fed it to Huo Yunchao one bite at a time.
