The two carriages slowly drove towards the outer city and were almost at the edge of the inner city.

Guo Tianyang frowned through the car window.

After a few days of heavy rain, there will be some water accumulation in each yard to a greater or lesser extent. In fact, the edge of the inner city has been neglected to manage the water accumulation in depth.

If you arrive in the outer city, the situation may be worse.

However, before entering the outer city, something worse had already happened, and raindrops began to fall sparsely in the sky.

Guo Tianyang couldn't help but feel a little lucky, but fortunately he brought more umbrellas.

Your Majesty will definitely get off the bus later, and it will be bad if it gets wet.

Emperor Jing obviously heard the sound of raindrops falling on the roof of the car. He glanced out the window, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and then closed his eyes and began to sleep.

After arriving in the outer city, something Guo Tianyang was worried about finally happened.

Thunder began to sound in the sky, and the rain became heavier

The severe water accumulation in the outer city is far from as light as described in the memorial.

The accumulated water has even begun to spread across most of the wheels.

The outer city was repaired in a hurry, and the drainage system was not carefully designed. In addition, the lack of maintenance was still damaged by most of the functions. It can be said to be dispensable in the face of such a heavy rain.

What is even more terrifying now is that domestic waste is floating on the accumulated water, and even the excrement of humans and animals is stenched for a while.

Emperor Jing slowly opened his eyes when he heard the thunder and looked out the car and was stunned.

It was already a country of terror. In addition to garbage, there were also some wooden stools and other things floating on the water.

Emperor Jing looked from a distance and felt blurry as if he saw a piece of clothing. He assigned to him: "Go and find someone to see what that is?"

The accompanying guard sitting outside the carriage received the order to jump out of the carriage and wade towards that position.

Soon after, he came back with the "clothes" in his arms and said with a frustration: "Your Majesty... is a child, he must have tripped and drowned by something..."

The thunder in the sky kept ringing, and Emperor Jing felt as if he was struck by lightning.

Whose child is this? He should be one or two years younger than Yuanzhao and drowned like this?

Guo Tianyang was like a thorn in his throat. No one in the palace knew Emperor Jing better than him.

As you grow older, Your Majesty's heart has become softer and weaker. Especially when he sees a child about the same age as the prince drowns, he doesn't know how uncomfortable he feels.

The three pavilions in the car behind him poked their heads out of the car window and saw the corpse floating in the water.

Everyone was silent, and the world was already peaceful, and such a tragedy actually happened in the capital.

The three of them couldn't help but sigh in the carriage.

"I have often seen reports of heavy rains and drowning in memorials over the years. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today...it actually..." Zhang Dongxiang couldn't continue talking as he spoke.

The four words that were terrible were stuck in their throats.

Zheng Qiao sighed: "Natural disasters are not determined by others... Life and death are based on heaven, this is fate."

Zhang Dongxiang suddenly turned red and his face was a little excited: "This is not a natural disaster, it is simply a loss of officials! There is no accumulation of water in the palace and nearby outer cities, why not here?"

Li Yansong closed his eyes and started to sleep, thinking constantly in his mind.

Tragedy has already happened, and it is meaningless to argue about these things now. It is better to think about what can be solved.

At this time, there were actually some people on the street, some holding children, some carrying packages, and perhaps the houses of these people collapsed and were trying to find a way out.

The more the car is, the more difficult it is to drive away in the outer city, and now it is already a snail speed.

The coachman dared not speed up. If there was a big rock or a big pit below, the whole carriage might have been overturned.

Emperor Jing couldn't sit still and asked, "How far is Dengjinfang?"

Guo Tianyang hurriedly said, "It's here, right ahead, Your Majesty, why don't we find a place to rest first when we get to the yard? When the rain stops, we will go back to the palace. Will the prince still go today?"

"I won't go. Since I've already come out today, I'll go to Dengjinfang first. I'll wait until the water recedes before going to Banshanfang."

Guo Tianyang poked his head out and looked at the street, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, Your Majesty has a pavilion on the street. It is tall and big and has not been flooded yet. Why not go to the pavilion to rest first, and I will send someone to find Lord Yan."

Emperor Jing nodded.

Then the carriage drove hard towards the direction of the pavilion and finally arrived at the side of the pavilion. Emperor Jing was about to get off the car, but the man who had just lifted the curtain of the carriage was stunned again.

I saw that there were not many people in the pavilion, but there were people standing next to the pavilion.

There were elderly people and women holding children, and their bodies were so weak that they were trembling with cold.

Emperor Jing stood in the carriage and shouted to the crowd: "Why don't you go into the pavilion! There are many places inside!"

A group of honest people looked at the luxuriously dressed people, shook their heads, and then got closer together in an attempt to warm up.

Emperor Jing was speechless for a moment, looking at the pavilion and the people, and taking a step from the carriage, he could directly walk into the pavilion.

Instead, Emperor Jing jumped into the water and swam towards the people, and the guards followed him.

Guo Tianyang and the three old masters were frightened and jumped out of the water and followed the emperor.

He walked to the circle of people and shouted, "Why don't you go to the pavilion to shelter from the rain? Why do you have to stand in the water if it is strong and rainy here?"

An old man heard his loud shout and pulled his sleeves and said nervously: "Stop shouting! Stop shouting! That pavilion is not something we can stay in. Don't you know if the juren is inside."

"This..." Emperor Jing was speechless for a moment and his mind was not redirected.

What is this? If the juren stands in the pavilion, the people cannot enter the pavilion?

The woman standing in the water tried to lower her head, fearing that the child in her arms would be poured by the rain, but there was no way to stop it, even her and the child would be poured through.

The child cried loudly in the woman's arms, and the woman could only cry and keep comforting her.

Emperor Jing suddenly felt angry! He turned around and walked towards the pavilion.

Guo Tianyang hurriedly ran back to the carriage and took two umbrellas to the crowd. The old man took the umbrella and helped the woman fight.

Emperor Jing walked to the pavilion with anger, and a man dressed in a guard appeared in front of him before he had even stepped up.

"You can't go up, it's full."

Emperor Jing looked at the pavilion with his head tilted, and there were a few young men in brocade clothes and dressed in them, drinking tea leisurely.

Someone felt his gaze, smiled disdainfully, and then drank tea.

Emperor Jing said expressionlessly: "Not full, I see so many people here are standing there, where is it full?"

The guard picked up his arms and said sarcastically: "Haha, I will be full when I say it's full! Is this where you can stand? Who are you?"
