After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute

Chapter 158 The earth dragon turns over

There were orderly footsteps coming from the alley, "Who dares to cause trouble here?"

A few thugs grabbed the purses on the ground and turned around and ran, but they were faster than the soldiers and were soon caught.

One of the detectives said, "Brother Chu, you guessed it all."

The constable named Brother Chu said proudly: "The bank is right next to us. This alley is so easy to operate in, so we should definitely do it here every time. As long as we don't get caught, we will definitely extort money."

Constable Chu stepped forward, took the purse from the leader, turned around and handed it to Liu Huan and the other man who had their backs to them.

"Madam, is this your purse?"

Liu Huan raised his head and smiled faintly to thank him. His gentle smile stunned the person in front of him, "It is my red envelope, but there should be another one in their hands."

Another constable searched the purse from the wretched man next to him, but before he could give it to Liu Huan, Constable Chu at the side got there first and asked, "But this?"

"That's it, thank you sir."

Several constables scratched their heads shyly, "We are just doing our routine work. You guys go first. Don't go through this kind of alley next time."

Liu Huan took two steps and then turned back to the man with the mobile phone. He sighed and said, "I told you to leave quickly but you didn't listen. Now you've been caught."

"Be a good person next time. It's not so easy to take other people's things."

After saying this, he bowed to the constable again and said, "Thank you, gentlemen."

Turn around and leave gracefully.

Several detectives shook their heads regretfully, "She's so beautiful, but it's a pity she's already married."

"Yes, otherwise this appearance would be a perfect match for our brother Chu."

The handsome man who was called Brother Chu blushed and said angrily, "Alright, you caught a pretty girl and want to marry me. Do you really think I'm so popular that everyone likes me? Don't ruin her reputation."

The people around laughed: "I have tied my hair up, but Brother Chu still said I am a little girl."

Brother Chu said with a straight face, "Alright, take her away for questioning first. Whether she is a lady or a young lady has nothing to do with us. Stop discussing her like a playboy all day long."

The people on the side grumbled aggrievedly: "Aren't we worried about you? Brother Chu, you are almost thirty years old, and your ex-sister-in-law has been gone for so many years. If you don't find another one, you will get old."

Brother Chu was not in a hurry at all. "Fate is predetermined by heaven. It's not just about who you think is good. I'm leaving now."

When they took the people out, Liu Huan and the other person had disappeared.

They stayed for a while to give them time, so as to avoid being seen together and ruining the girl's reputation.

Everyone's attention was focused on the criminals. These guys had been committing crimes for a long time and were finally caught today.

Qiu Rong, who had already arrived at the vegetable market, still felt scared when she thought about what happened just now. "Master, bring Ermo with you next time. It won't work if I follow you."

Liu Huan agreed, "We don't have many opportunities to go out, so if we need anything in the future, we should bring Ermo with us."

Qiu Rong asked: "Master, why were you so calm just now? I was scared to death."

Liu Huan said: "There are so many soldiers on the street, only a fool would rob at this time, we will definitely catch one if we catch one."

The way he spoke didn't sound like someone who committed crimes frequently. He even started chatting with her.

Liu Huan's guess was actually correct. The constables took the people back for interrogation and found out that it was the first time for those four people to commit a crime. They thought that if others could rob money from there, they could do it too.

But they didn't know that those people who committed the robbery would choose to do so when it was getting dark or when the constables were taking over their shifts, and would not do it in broad daylight.

The last few people were detained for fifteen days and were only released after being beaten with twenty sticks.

Liu Huan and his companion bought some things and left the city, getting on a ox cart and leaving, obviously not wanting to meet Feng again.

When he got back, his backpack was turned upside down. "Brother, I'll give you a string of candied haws."

An Ran was flipping through the things excitedly: "Wow, this piece of cloth must be for making new clothes for me, and this pearl flower must also be mine. Thank you, mother, and thank you, Aunt Qiu Rong."

Liu Huan held his daughter's cheek and kissed her twice: "You're welcome, little bandit."

The next few days were cloudy and rainy during the day and thunderstorms at night. Everyone was awakened by a shaking sound when they were sleeping soundly.

The two children turned over and hugged Liu Huan: "Mom~"

Liu Huan held one of them in each hand and said, "Don't be afraid, mother is here."

Qiu Rong and Qiu Ju from next door pushed open the door and said, "Master, the earth dragon is turning over, let's get out quickly."

When the earth dragon turns over, there is an earthquake.

Liu Huan didn't have time to change his clothes. He put on his shoes, handed one child to Qiu Rong, held the other one himself, and ran away.

It was still raining outside, so Qiuju ventured into the house and took out her cloak and raincoat. Ermo picked up the umbrella by the door, and the group walked to a more spacious place outside and stood there.

Fortunately, it was almost dawn, but that was also the worst.

People were the most sleepy at that time, and if they were sleeping soundly, they would not even notice when the dragon turned over.

The few people didn't know the situation in the village and didn't dare to go back to the house. They stood outside for an hour and waited until dawn before going to other places in the village.

The village was full of people, crying people, injured people, and crooked houses.

If you look closely, you will find that all the mud houses have been damaged to varying degrees, and some have collapsed due to years of disrepair.

Liu Huan found the village chief's house, which was a brick house, so it was not affected.

The village head’s wife cried and said, “Liu Huan, the earth dragon has turned over. I don’t know how many people and crops will be killed or injured. The autumn harvest is almost here.”

Liu Huan felt a chill down his spine. How could anyone born in an earthquake zone not know the pain that earthquakes bring?

In the face of nature, human beings are really insignificant.

When the village chief went to the government office at dawn to inquire about the situation, he learned that their county was only slightly affected, and the ones who were really hardest hit were the villagers at the junction of Hongdu Prefecture and Tanzhou Prefecture. Because they lived in earthen-walled houses, many people were buried.

Nearby water cannot put out a distant fire, not to mention that the villages in Nanchang County were also affected.

The village chief organized the villagers to carry out the injured villagers, and those in serious condition were sent to the county.

In a dilapidated house, Gouwazi's parents and child were found, crushed by the earth wall, lifeless, with only a shivering little child left in the corner.

Gouwazi escaped the disaster because he was not at home.

About ten people died in the village, all of them from families whose houses had been in disrepair for a long time.

Liu Huan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. Even the two little kids who usually loved to go out were extremely quiet at this moment.

The express letter from Hongdu Prefecture and Tanzhou Prefecture reached the capital in just a few days. The young emperor was heartbroken when he saw the letter.

The foreign threat had just been quelled, but the rebels from somewhere unknown made him restless and unable to sleep at night.

Now this incident has happened again. This is the first major event that has happened since he ascended the throne. How can he win the hearts of the people if he doesn't handle it well?

After summoning his maternal uncle and senior officials in the court to discuss the matter, he decided to send Su Yi to handle it.

He has not yet established his prestige in the court, so the person who handles this matter must be the person he trusts the most.

The emperor and his court officials watched Su Yi leave with the relief supplies, food and silver.

The three-dynasty veterans who had experienced the earth dragon's rise sighed, "The earth dragon's rise has brought disaster to the people. May God protect the people and help them survive this disaster safely."
