An old lady's life

Not only was the river water in the Jiangnan area soaring, but the water level in the Jinghe River also rose a lot during this period. The boats on the pier in the capital dared not go out, and there were no boats outside for several days.

It rained for two consecutive days, and several roads in central Beijing were blocked by groundwater. For several days, the city guards had been dredging the underground waterways in central Beijing. It was not until the rain stopped three days later that the water that spread up fell back into the ground. under.

At this time, the river in the south of the Yangtze River was soaring, and some small embankments could not bear it. At a certain moment in the night, it was like a bubble. With a bang, the river broke the embankment.

It can be said that Zhang Tao is several years older than before. Fortunately, he did not hide the truth like the previous adults did. Instead, he notified the localities early so that the people were ready to evacuate.

Of course, even if he did a good job of preparation, many people died in a large area that was flooded, and the livestock were washed away by the flood, and the corpses were lying everywhere.

Three days after this incident, Emperor Changping learned that because it was too serious, he planned to send people to rescue the disaster, and the candidates were chosen from among the four sons.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Changping raised this question, and most of the ministers shrank back, but at least some ministers recommended themselves, and his eyes fell on the four sons.

King Xiangjun and King Gongjun suddenly felt that their father's gaze was too stressful. They both thought that this matter must be their turn, but they didn't want the emperor to say in the next moment: "Five and Seven, you follow and go to the disaster relief!"

King Gong and King Zhao came out to respond: "Yes, my minister obeys the order!"

Two princes and several ministers were selected, and Emperor Changping also dispatched half of the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, and also sent a warning to a large number of doctors in central Beijing, among which Lin Nuan was among them.

Ai Cao, Lin Hai, and Jia Min didn't know beforehand, it was Lin Nuan who hurried back from the outside and said that she had just registered with the government, and this time they went to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief.

Lin Hai's face immediately turned down, and he wanted to say, what are you doing as a girl among men?The family didn't stop her from seeing a doctor, but she still had to run so far?

Jia Min is also worried, this sister-in-law's marriage problem has become a big problem, and she doesn't know what's going on with Lou Huwei, like Ji Huwei and Ying Huwei are both fathers, and these two people are still indifferent.

Ai Cao looked Lin Nuan up and down, frowned and asked, "Do you have to go?"

Lin Nuan wrung her fingers, lowered her head and said obediently, "My medical skills have entered a bottleneck period. The common illnesses here in the capital can no longer improve my medical skills. I should experience more diseases so that my medical skills can improve."

"Since you are going, my aunt won't stop you, but remember to protect yourself and don't let yourself get infected." Ai Cao doesn't interfere with Lin Nuan's affairs, she can live here for a long time, and Lin Nuan is in her care. Under protection, they can do whatever they want regardless of whether they are married or not.

Lin Nuan grinned, sure enough her aunt was the best, she shook her arm holding Ai Cao, it was rare for Ai Cao to see her act like a spoiled child.

Lin Hai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and shook some inexplicable thoughts out of his head.Jia Min murmured in her heart, what did her mother-in-law think?

The time has entered June, the weather is not very hot this year, and the world is concerned about major events. There is no news from the palace that Emperor Changping will go out of Beijing to escape the summer heat.

News from Jiangnan continued to spread into the capital. Whether it was a show or a genuine kindness, people in Beijing prayed for the disaster area. The incense in the temple was particularly strong these days, and Rongfu also donated a sum of money for sesame oil along with the flow.

Jia Amnesty didn't pay much attention to Jiangnan's affairs during this period. He, or all the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, were caught by the death of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

Because the person who reported to the official was the person from that house, in other words, the prostitute in that house chose to report to the official in order to prevent being assassinated by the Zuo Shilang's family of the Ministry of Rites.

Facts have proved that their choice is correct.

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites is surnamed Zheng. If he doesn't report to the officials, everyone in that house will probably be cleaned up by the Zheng family.After reporting to the official, the Zheng family lost face, especially Mrs. Zheng. When she communicated with others, she was proud of her husband's consistent treatment of her. Facts proved that she was living in Zheng Shilang's deception.

Of course, this is also Mrs. Zheng controlling Mr. Zheng, and Zheng Shilang pretends to be a loving wife on the surface.

Because Mr. Zheng was born in a poor family, he married the daughter of the master after he became a master in the past, which caused him to live in the shadow of eating soft food all his life.

After the Ministry of Criminal Justice took over the case, it conducted an investigation for more than ten days, questioning dozens of people in the house over and over again, calling the owner of the house for questioning, and questioning more than a dozen officials who appeared in the house that night. He went home, but there were five or six people staying in that house, including Zheng Shilang.

Wu did an autopsy, and the final result was that Zheng Shilangchun took too much medicine, and his energy was too vented, so he didn't bring it up in one breath, so he just went away.Wu Zuo also said that Zheng Shilang is not as good as a young man when he is getting older, and it is not a bad idea to take some spring/medicine to strengthen his yang, but the dose of spring/medicine he takes has not decreased, and sometimes the dose will increase. Overdose, it will take away the anger of the person, who will die if he doesn't die?

It's just that the Zheng family has been relentless and wants to kill all the men and women in the house. Of course, the Zheng family has no right to kill the men and women in the house. They just want to kill the men and women in the house. , the Zheng family is not qualified to execute them.

Today, the Ministry of Criminal Justice finally closed the case, and those people were released around mid-afternoon, and those people did not dare to stay in the capital, and fled the capital immediately after leaving the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Now, ten miles away from the capital, a dozen men and women in coarse linen clothes stood at a fork in the road.

"Sister Hong, let's go." The woman called Sister Hong glanced back at the way she came. Her goal of going to Beijing this time has been achieved, and it's time for her to live a new life in the future.

"Let's go, I will never come to the capital again." A group of people parted ways here, and there were only two couples of men and women walking with Sister Hong.

Jia Amnesty told his mother about this case. They interrogated for a long time and investigated in many ways. They did not find anyone who had any enmity with Zheng Shilang, and the aphrodisiac was indeed taken by Zheng Shilang himself, and many people could eat it. testify.

After hearing this, Hong Ye couldn't think of a reason, but she asked: "Is Zheng Shilang not young before he passed the Jinshi exam? Did he marry a wife and have children in his hometown?"

Jia Amnesty thought for a while and shook his head: "Everyone said no, even the old servant who has been with Zheng Shilang for many years said no."

"Even if that's the case, then I can't think of a motive for killing him, so I guess it's really self-inflicted." Hongye also shook her head.

Jia Amnesty didn't pursue the matter anymore, the case was closed anyway, everyone in that house had already been let go, and they left the capital directly for fear of revenge from the Zheng family.

The next day, Jia pardoned Xiumu. He met Boss Song and got his dividend from Boss Song this time, which was a full 50 taels.

Boss Song said with a shy smile, "Master Hou, you think you can make another trip this year. How much do you plan to vote?" His eyes fell on Jia She's sleeve, where Jia She had just put the money in.

Jia Amnesty nodded, "What are you planning to leave? I'll go back home and discuss it." This banknote must always be seen by Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and the amount to be cast also needs to be discussed by everyone.

Boss Song's eyes lit up: "Ten days later, but Lord Hou also knows that I have to buy goods..."

Jia Amnesty waved his hand: "Understood, I will give it to you in two days."

This is the first time to do business successfully, and you are familiar with the twists and turns in the middle, and everyone is relieved. This second business is naturally an obligatory matter. Lin Hai came forward in person, and King Zhaojun is not in the capital. , It was his subordinates who came forward.

Boss Song now feels at ease in his heart, he has taken refuge in the prince, and the powerful and powerful are in the middle, so he will no longer be afraid of being squeezed when doing business in the future.

In the evening, after dinner, Jia Amnesty took out the 50 taels of bank notes, explaining that it was the money he earned from the overseas business, and that he planned to pay off the debts owed by the household department in one lump sum this year.

Jia Zheng and Wang had no objections, and Hongye had no objections. The two brothers decided how to spend the money.

"My cousin is not in Beijing. I will tell him, but this time, do you want to let my cousin participate in the business?" Jia Amnesty said hesitantly. The first time was because he was not sure, so he didn't dare to tell Jia Jing. Now it's the second time, I have to tell him.

Hongye nodded: "Jing'er is not at home, my nephew and daughter-in-law are afraid that they will not dare to make decisions, Ming'er Jingshu will go to Ning Mansion to tell Xu Shi, and see what she says. If she can make decisions, we will do it together, if she can't do it Lord, you can wait for Jinger to come back."

Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement, she thought Mrs. Xu would not make up her own mind.

In the following time, Jia She took the time to go to the household department to pay back the money, and cleared the remaining debts of the Rongfu. He felt that he was debt-free.

In this way, the life is going on step by step. Bad news from Jiangnan will spread to the capital for a while, and good news will spread to the capital for a while, but by the end of June, it will be all good news.

The post-disaster epidemic was brought under control, and the number of deaths was not many, but the flood had receded, and most of the victims returned to their hometowns to settle down under the resettlement by the government.

With the return of King Gong, King Zhao and several ministers to Beijing, this important event that lasted for half a year came to an end, and the rest of the post-disaster reconstruction work was the responsibility of local officials.

Zhang Tao wanted to cry without tears, he really wanted to go back to Beijing, but the emperor gave him the will to rebuild the destroyed embankment, and to ensure the quality and quantity, if there is a quality problem, the emperor is the only one to ask!

In the Lin family, Ai Cao heard that most of the imperial physicians had returned to Beijing with the army, and the private doctors who had been recruited also returned to Beijing, but there was no Lin Nuan.

Ai Cao was immediately laughed angrily by that girl, who even asked someone to bring a letter, and she would return to Beijing after a while.And Ai Cao has reason to suspect that the girl is sick?Or he is not in good health and dare not return to Beijing to let her know?

But Ai Cao didn't have time to take care of her, she ran to Hongye every night during this time, because Hongye was about to break through.
