I am the county magistrate in Daming

The dam in the east has not collapsed, and the main dam that has just been repaired is also standing upright.

The flood came roaring, sweeping everything.

The dam to the west has been breached.

"How is it possible!" Mu Qingtian broke away from Zhu Jingshou's arm, and rushed forward to grab the collar of the officers and soldiers who came to report.

"The water flow in the west is the smallest, and it is impossible to break the embankment!"

Everyone was paying attention to them, and the news spread quickly, causing people to panic.

"Where did the dam collapse?"

"Is the flood coming...God bless, God bless!"

What's more, they abandoned their armor and fled.

"Come back! You are not allowed to leave, this is a military order! Those who disobey the order will be cut off!!!" Mu Qingtian pulled out the sword bestowed on him by the emperor and held it high.

When human life is at stake, no one is willing to listen to an imperial envoy, and they all move closer to the main dam that is farthest to the west.

"Qingqing, don't worry." Zhu Jingshou sensed that Mu Qingtian was in a bad mood, so he came over to hold him back.

The west is in danger, and the east cannot be left alone...

Mu Qingtian turned around silently, aiming the sword at Zhu Jingshou who was about to step forward.

"Here is the sword bestowed by the emperor, King Qing obeys the order!"

The person on the opposite side frowned, flicked away the blade and hugged Mu Qingtian.

"King Qing listens to the order! King Qing listens to the order!!" Mu Qingtian struggled vigorously.

At this moment, I can't tell which are tears on my face and which are rain.

"I invite you to go to the west to guard the dam."

Mu Qingtian kept shaking his head, unable to say a word.

The east and west sides cannot be left unattended. Gu Fan and Liu Duan have not received any news yet, and they may have already been tripped by the raging flood.One of them must go west to stabilize the morale of the army.

Being together day and night, Zhu Jingshou immediately guessed what Mu Qingtian was thinking, and said this sentence first.

It is impossible for him, and he will never let Mu Qingtian go to the west.

"Don't cry." Zhu Jingshou bent down and wiped away the tears from the corners of Mu Qingtian's eyes with a smile.

"I promise you, I will come back safely, okay?"

Mu Qingtian watched helplessly as the person he cared about the most disappeared into the rain and mist.

"My lord, the water level is starting to soar!!"

Mu Qingtian woke up like a dream.Now is not the time to think about the love of children, the dike is broken in the west, and the threat in the east is not lifted.

There are only a small number of deserters. Whose family has no relatives to take care of?They understood that if they escaped at this time, Flood would one day find the person who was protected in the city and who he probably cared about the most.

The grandmother and girl who delivered meals every day, the doctor who saw the doctor for free, the beggar who helped carry sandbags...

Mu Qingtian braved the rain and raised his sword, and climbed to the highest point nearby.

"All generals obey orders!"

"Yes!!!"

The shouts were like thunder, and no one stopped what they were doing, but everyone's hearts gathered in front of Mu Qingtian.

"There are many ditches in the west, even if the embankment breaks, there is still room for recovery."

"But the east side is different!"

"Break the boat and sink the boat, damn it!!"

Mu Qingtian didn't understand the Guangzhou dialect, so he could only use his own words to cheer everyone up.

However, even the language barrier cannot hinder the connection between people.All of a sudden, there was a lot of scolding, and everyone spoke the dialect of their hometown, with an unyielding energy on their faces.

Zhu Jingshou stopped walking.

"My lord, why..."

Before the words were finished, the officers and soldiers who sent the letter were killed under the cold light.

There is obviously no water in the west, and the water level of the surrounding ditches is even showing a downward trend.

Zhu Jingshou quickened his pace, picked up the boulder on the side of the road and threw it into the shallow river, wading through it.

"The lord came just in time, the grass people found a suspicious person!" Liu Duan covered his mouth, Gu Fan followed behind him and dragged out a person.

"He spread the news of the west embankment breakout everywhere, and was discovered by the grassroots in time. Fortunately, the rumor didn't spread for too long, and everyone's emotions were stable."

"But the prince isn't guarding the east with Mr. Mu, why..."

Zhu Jingshou's expression changed suddenly.

Counted.

He and Liu turned around and ran away, leaving Gu Fan a goose.

"Someone came to the east to report that the west dam had collapsed." Zhu Jingshou felt that Liu Duan was running slowly, so he grabbed the man sideways with both hands.

"My lord remembers that person's appearance!" Liu Duan said eagerly.

After several confirmations, Zhu Jingshou concluded that the man was neither an officer guarding the west dam nor an east man.

Gu Fan quickly caught up and saw his precious son being carried around, he almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

"The prince will go first, and the military division will be taken care of by the subordinate officials."

Without saying a word, Zhu Jingshou threw Liu Duan, who was in the way, to Gu Fan—like throwing a sack.

Gu Fan caught his son and stopped, and the next second his son grabbed his hair again.

"Quick, follow the prince! Lord Mu is in danger!"

Although Gu Fan looked down on Mu Qingtian, he would not avenge himself at such a time, so he quickly carried Liu Duan on his back and ran towards Zhu Jingshou's back.

"My lord, I can't hold it anymore!!" The dam to the east began to collapse.

It was just a small piece at first, and it grew bigger and bigger, and was peeled off piece by piece by the flood.

"How could it be so fast..." Mu Qingtian lowered his head and said to himself, then he raised his head and shouted: "Where is it collapsed, take me to see it, hurry up!!"

The role of the dam is to prevent and control floods, and it will be greatly impacted in a short period of time, so the materials used to build the dam are also the strongest, such as stones and wooden piles.

The wooden stakes are used to lay the foundation, buried deep in the ground, and painted with a layer of insect-resistant paint on the outside.The upper layer is made of stone strips, connected with soil mixed with rice milk.

"My lord, the rocks are full of sand!!"

The rushing river washed away the gorgeous exterior, revealing the ugly and ugly inside.

"Sun Han!" Mu Qingtian grabbed a handful of sand and threw it into the river.

The four dams were repaired by County Magistrate Sun, and he was also responsible for inspection. Such a big flaw should be beheaded to show the public.

"Bring the sack and hold it."

After the anger passed, Mu Qingtian was surprisingly calm at the moment, picked up a bag of sand by himself, and piled it on the dam that was already missing a mouthful.

"Everyone, find a rope to tie yourself and go into the water."

The officers and soldiers at the side stopped Mu Qingtian and asked, "What about you, my lord!"

"I still need to observe the water level, and I will tie it later."

The water is fierce, and the officers and soldiers can't stay here for a long time. They can only say: "My lord, take care, I put the rope here for you."

When Zhu Jingshou, Gu Fan and Liu Duan arrived, the east dam had already burst.Fortunately, under Mu Qingtian's command, the overflowing water flowed in all directions, and there were endless sandbags on top.

Everyone is in a state of distress, and some are crying—several brothers have been swept away by the flood.

"Where's the imperial envoy!" Zhu Jingshou asked with red eyes, grabbing an officer and soldier casually.

"No, I don't know."

Liu Duan was the first to see Mu Qingtian.The sound of the torrent covered everything, and the water mist raised confused everyone's eyes.If Gu Fan didn't pay attention, the people around him disappeared.

"Master Mu."

Mu Qingtian turned around in surprise.

"Why are you here? Didn't the west side break the embankment? Who told you to come here?!"

Liu Duan wiped away the rain that was streaming into his eyes, and said, "There are spies, Ximian is fine."

"Xiaoying! Xiaoying!"

Gu Fan realized that Liu Duan was gone, and searched anxiously.

"The big wave is coming!!!"

"Danger!"

As if telepathically, Zhu Jingshou suddenly turned his head and saw Mu Qingtian standing by the dam only a few feet away from him.

"Qingqing!!!!!!!"

"Lord, be careful!"

Zhu Jingshou was thrown down by the people next to him, and his eyes were still fixed on the stone.

Someone pushed his Qingqing.

Mu Qingtian was still discussing with Liu Duan how to drain the water, when suddenly he felt a weight behind his back, and instantly fell into the turbulent torrent.

Liu Duan was implicated and also fell into the river.But just before he entered the water, Gu Fan jumped down along with him regardless, embraced him and sank into the water.

There are many dark rocks in the river, Liu Duan held his breath after choking on a few mouthfuls of water.He couldn't open his eyes, only felt that someone was hugging him tightly.

"Is it done?" Sun Han paced back and forth in his mansion, like ants on a hot pot.

"Returning to my lord, the imperial envoy was swept away by the waves, and the prince was also beaten to death by the waves!"

Just as Sun Han was about to say "yes", he saw a person kicking open the door of his room and standing against the light against him.

It was sunny outside, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

"Master Sun wants to hear this very much, doesn't he?"

The man who reported to Sun Han tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true face.

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

Wutou survived the flood, and because of the rope, many fewer people were swept away by the flood, thanks to Mu Qingtian.

But now the whereabouts of the biggest hero is unknown, and his life and death are uncertain.

Zhu Jingshou picked up the torture tools and interrogated Sun Han himself, and he was bound to pry out the mastermind behind the scenes from him.

Chi Zhongrong heard that the imperial envoy was killed, and the prince was torturing Sun Han, so he took his brothers and left the temporary foothold overnight and returned to the base camp.

Before leaving, he left a letter to Sun Han.

Sun Han was a ruthless official and used Li Guang's name to amass money wantonly.There has been a famine in the Wutou area for years, and all the news has been suppressed by Li Guang who is far away in Shuntian Prefecture.

If it weren't for the flood, I'm afraid the court wouldn't know it yet, and nearly [-]% of the people in Wutou would have starved to death.

Chi Zhongrong's family was in debt and rent, and Chi's father was forcibly taken away by the landlord bully.Not long after, the county government sent two "officials" and a group of servants to collect food and taxes again.They ran amok, broke in directly, and searched every possible place.

This is not enough, they even forced a group of peasants to give away the ill-gotten gains taken by the robbers.Chi Zhongrong stepped forward, stopped the convoy halfway, killed two officials, and returned the food and finances to the people.

Many people are willing to follow Chi Zhongrong and form a peasant uprising army.Their strength was too small to compete with the government. After the flood started, Chi Zhongrong pretended to send someone to cooperate with Sun Han to intercept the convoy sent by the imperial court to relieve the disaster.

In the court, Li Guang was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he simply did not do anything, and asked Sun Han to push all the responsibilities for the victims and the dead to Shui De, and gave him a task.

If Mu Qingtian and King Qing can be killed, he guarantees that Sun Han can take the position of Minister of the Six Departments.

Sun Han is a petty official who only wants to make money and dare not kill people.He hesitated and gave Li Guang an ambiguous answer.

Chi Zhongrong knew that the time had come, and planned to use the hands of the imperial envoy and the prince to kill Sun Han.In his eyes, Mu Qingtian, who worked for the imperial court, and the emperor's younger brother, King Qing, were all thugs.

The bad idea of ​​filling sand with rocks was thought of by Sun Han himself, and he corrupted all the rest of the money.But Chi Zhongrong hinted that Sun Han could place spies beside the imperial envoy and the prince, and make them disappear in the flood without anyone noticing.

Sun Han was afraid that King Qing would pursue him, and he would lose his black hat.Chi Zhongrong's provocation made him firm in his idea of ​​murdering the imperial envoy and the prince.

If he succeeds, he will be able to enter the Shuntian Mansion, and he will enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth from then on.

If he fails, he can put all the blame on the person who advised him.

It's a pity that Chi Zhongrong was smarter than him by not a little bit, so he left long ago.

Zhu Jingshou sent people to search for tens of miles along the river, but the three of them were still nowhere to be seen.

The author has something to say: Well cough!Guess who saved three people!

small theater:

Zhu Jingshou: It's against the sky!The princess dared to point a sword at the king!

Mu Qingtian: What?Don't you point your sword at me every day?

King Qing reacted, and then covered his face with his hands.

His innocent and pure Qingqing disappeared.
