People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 48 048: The Inspector of Shangda

At night, it rained heavily.

In order to reduce the loss, Cai Xiaolan decided to go to Yangzhou city overnight to inform Li Cishi and tell him to make preparations early.

"Xiaolan, I'll go with you!" Cui Lu was worried and wanted to go to the city with Cai Xiaolan.

"Auntie, if you accompany me, what should we do at home?" In Cai Xiaolan's plan, she went to the city to inform Li Yunguang, Cui Boyan to inform Wang Ji, and Sister Xu and Cui Lushi tried their best to improve the situation. home.

"Cai Xiaolan, let me go with you. You and I go to Teacher Wang Ji's house first, maybe Teacher Wang has a better way. Then we go to the city together." Cui Boyan said calmly.

If you read more books, people will really become different.Cui Boyan's ability skyrocketed.

"That's it!" Cai Xiaolan nodded.

Xu Yinlian immediately went to the door of the main room to get the straw coir raincoat, and together with Cui Lushi dressed up Cai Cui.

The two of them carefully tied every strap on the coir raincoat twice.

"Dongping, go and get the golden hoe!" Cai Xiaolan shouted.

Xiaodong usually goes to the teahouse to help out, and his emotional intelligence has also been tempered.Not only did he take the golden hoe, but he also brought a shovel to his elder brother.

Fully dressed, the two plunged into the darkness.

……

"Who is it so late?" The servant opened the courtyard door and saw that it was the master's disciple.The color changed in an instant, "Yo, Mr. Cui, please come in. The master just fell asleep, what's the matter?"

"Let Xiaolan tell the story, we have to go to Fucheng later, so we won't take off our coir raincoats!" Cui Boyan knew that he couldn't explain clearly at the moment, so he didn't say much.

Of course, a servant will not offend his master's disciples just because of a little mud.I immediately went in and called someone.

Within a moment, "dong-dong-" the sound of footsteps came from far to near.

"Xiao Lan, why are you here in such heavy rain?" Wang Ji asked strangely.

"Mr. Wang, I'm here to tell you that the flood is coming. According to the current rain, it will be flooded in a day or two..." Cai Xiaolan cut a long story short and told Wang Ji her guess.

Wang Ji is a wise man, "If the flood really will submerge the fertile fields directly above, then there must have been some stupid people digging the dam."

There are too many people who do bad things against their conscience for the sake of money.Short-sighted people only care about immediate interests.

"Hurry up and put on your coir raincoat, drive my car, and send the two of you to Fucheng." Knowing that this is not the time to entangle people's good and evil, Wang Ji immediately ordered his servants to go with them.

"Yes!"

When we go out again, the two become three.The path at the end of the village was already covered with water.In the dark, it looks endless.I don’t know where the road is, it’s all watery.It's not like this during the day.

"No, we can't drive the carriage." The servant called the two of them to come down.

"Let's walk!" Cai Xiaolan jumped out of the car and walked forward quickly.

The servant gritted his teeth, tied the horse to the side, and followed him.Wang Ji's order was to send people to Fucheng, and if he didn't follow, if something happened, the master would not skin him.

All the way to Fucheng, a total of more than ten miles.On weekdays, even if Grandma Xiaojiao was asked to leave, it would only take an hour or two at most.And this night, at the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, the three of them set off, and after the Zishi knocked for the third time, the three of them reached the edge of the city gate.

"Xiaolan, thanks to you!" Wang Ji's servant repeatedly patted his chest, lamenting his fate.

Along the way, they encountered many dangerous situations. The most thrilling one was when Cui Boyan and Jian Pu both missed their feet and fell into deep water.Fortunately, Cai Xiaolan reacted quickly and caught the two of them instantly, using both hands at the same time to throw them to the open space.

Before the two came, they both shouted to accompany Cai Xiaolan in case there were problems on the road.In the end, they discovered that it was they themselves who would cause problems.

The continuous heavy rain had already soaked the three people's bodies.The autumn coolness condensed into a chill, attacking them one after another.

"The next step, we should consider how to enter Zicheng!" Cui Boyan put forward a profound idea in order to show his value, "I have an idea, or we pretend to be mourners. Zicheng will have a talking point."

Wang Jizhi gave a thumbs up, "Good way!"

Cai Xiaolan glared at him, saying that "whatever you say is what you say", when it comes to life and death, you must not talk nonsense.

However, Cai Xiaolan didn't think of any better way for a while, so she had to affirm, "But thinking about it carefully, this is not a good way."

The three of them unified their caliber and ran straight towards Zicheng.Unexpectedly, the gate of Zicheng was not closed, and the gatekeeper, because of the heavy rain, hid somewhere and was lazy.

"I must tell Uncle Li to change the janitor. He has no sense of responsibility at all." Cui Boyan muttered.

……

"Boom—boom..." knocked on the door again in the silent alley.Due to the cover of heavy rain, it can't spread far at all.

"Knock again!" Cai Xiaolan shouted.She didn't believe that Li Yunguang, as the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, could sleep peacefully on this rainy day.

Sure enough, there was another knock.A servant came and opened the door.

Few of the people who can work in the Governor's Mansion are fools. It must be no small matter to know that they can come to the door overnight in such a heavy rain.

"Who are you looking for?" The servant dared not show any disrespect.

"Please tell the governor of your family that Cai Xiaolan is visiting, and there is something important to everyone!" Cai Xiaolan's face was stern, and cold rainwater flowed down her hair into her body.

"Okay, everyone, please go into the side room to change clothes to keep warm!" The servant led the three of them to the side room, and hurriedly went to invite the master.

……

As soon as the three of them dried their hair, Li Yunguang came running over.There was no anger at all at being disturbed late at night, but a smile on his face, "Xiaolan, what are you doing?"

"Uncle Li, something is wrong." Cai Xiaolan told him her guess again.Unlike Wang Jishen's personal experience in the countryside, Li Yunguang couldn't see the rising water levels of rivers everywhere.

"Send officers and soldiers to block the river dam now, it should be too late!" Cai Xiaolan's purpose of running all night was this.

"Xiaolan, there are too many rivers in Yangzhou. We need to find out first. Don't worry, I'll call someone from the engineering department first." Hearing Cai Xiaolan's words, Li Yunguang felt uneasy.If Cai Xiaolan's words come true, the people of Yangzhou will be miserable.

Li Yunguang asked his servant to hitch the carriage and ran to the government office.Even if the river dam does not burst, the current situation of water flooding the roads in the countryside needs to be dealt with urgently.

The officials lived close together, and the chief manager of the engineering department soon arrived at the government office.

"My lord, did you call me?" The chief steward didn't dare to stop for a moment when he heard the news. He even wore his overalls in the carriage.

"Does the engineering department have recent water level maps of various towns in Yangzhou Prefecture?" Li Yunguang asked.

The chief steward's mind was suddenly blinded, "Reporting to my lord, the water level map was calculated in May. It should be calculated in recent days."

"It has been raining continuously for seven or eight days. Why don't you go and test it? What if it floods?" Looking at the steward in front of him, Li Yunguang felt a cloud in his heart.Now he can only hope that picking Xiaolan is unfounded. If it is true, they are not prepared at all.

The steward dropped to his knees, his silence counted as an answer.

"Go take the test now!" Li Yunguang roared.

　Alas, it’s such a good time in the evening, why doesn’t anyone give out tickets?
