Chapter 542: Levee Break

Chapter 542 The dam breaks

Author: Er Guliang

When Guo Shihe heard Luo Chengen's words, he suddenly became anxious.

"Then Master Futai, didn't you say anything?"

"This little brother is really good at joking. I'm just a servant. What kind of status does he have in front of Lord Futai?

Do you need Master Futai to tell me something?"

Luo Chengen sneered, even though his master was the head of the county.

However, he had already entered Lord Futai's residence in Qingzhou Prefecture using the greeting card given by the county master.

In fact, he did stay in Lord Futai's residence for two hours.

However, Mr. Futai of Qingzhou Prefecture, as if the letter he sent had disappeared into the sea, there was no response at all.

Seeing the heavy rain outside, how could he feel at ease and leave the county owner alone in that ruined temple?

Therefore, I did not wait any longer and left directly with the people.

Luo Chengen didn't know it, but fortunately he left in time.

If it stays a little longer at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Master Futai's residence in Qingzhou Prefecture!

Guo Shihe also knew that he was being reckless by asking!

I wanted to explain that I didn't mean it this way, but when I saw Luo Chengen's sneering face, I felt that it was useless to explain.

I could only shut my mouth bitterly and stand there blankly.

Luo Chengen didn't have time to deal with him. The master gave them time to clean up, but that didn't mean they could keep the master waiting.

He quickly wiped his hair half dry, tied it into a bun, stood up, and walked towards his master.

Ning Pengpeng was not too surprised when she heard what Luo Chengen said.

After all, there are not many officials who can think about the common people in the world.

However, most of them are muddy.

Also, they are just like the common people, and they don’t care about the common people at all.

From the letter Luo Chengen sent to Futai Mansion in Qingzhou Mansion, it can be seen that Mr. Futai of Qingzhou Mansion is definitely not an official who thinks about the people.

At Futai Mansion in Qingzhou Prefecture, Gao Jingsong, who was Futai, angrily pointed at the concierge and cursed.

Just now, he just didn't immediately order someone to guard the door and prevent the Shouning County Lord from leaving.

Unexpectedly, by the time he asked someone to arrest him, he was already gone.

This surprise really surprised him.

However, this letter was written by the magistrate of Luo'an County. If my guess is correct, the head of Shouning County should also be in Luo'an County.

Thinking of the letter sent from Pingyao County, a greedy look appeared on Gao Jingsong's face.

It was written in the letter that the Lord of Shouning County brought valuable pearls to the capital from Nanyue Prefecture.

Presumably, the pearl should have been presented to His Majesty by the newly crowned Lord of Shouning County.

He didn't know the news about the Shouning County Lord before, so naturally he could only say it was a pity and forget about it.

But now, since I have learned the news about the Shouning County Lord.

Coupled with the current situation in Luo'an County, he just took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

The continuous heavy rains caused the dam to burst. The owner of Shouning County suffered floods in Luo'an County, and his life and death are unknown.

Even if such news reaches the capital, there should be no doubts.

Moreover, even if there is an investigation in the capital, how can we investigate since all the people’s bodies are gone?

Now, Gao Jingsong only regretted not stopping the man sent by Shouning County Lord earlier.

I believe they must know the current location of Shouning County Lord.

"Here comes someone."

Although Gao Jingsong was upset, he quickly called his personal bodyguard and headed to Luo'an County with his men.

Since the Lord of Shouning County wants to help the magistrate of Luo'an County.

It happened that he asked someone to help her and let her meet the King of Hell as soon as possible.

Ning Pengpeng didn't know yet that danger was approaching.

Just thinking that the rain was getting lighter and the ruined temple was so noisy, she already had the idea of ​​​​taking a long way around.

However, Luo Chengen shook his head to persuade and explained the situation at the foot of the mountain in detail.

Because of the heavy rains these days, the original official road has long been flooded.

If you are riding a horse, the water will almost reach the horse's neck.

Now, even if Ning Pengpeng can ride a horse, the carriage and the ledger in the luggage will inevitably be flooded by the rain.

Even if Ning Pengpeng is willing to wrap those account books in oil paper and carry them on his back.

However, they are unfamiliar with the place and cannot see the road conditions clearly.

If you are not careful and your horse misses the mark, and you fall into the water, you can still swim and climb up.

The ledgers on my back are definitely soaked.

Therefore, she absolutely cannot take this risk.

On the sixth day after the ruins of the temple, the original heavy rain gradually turned into moderate rain.

The lightning and thunder at the beginning finally disappeared, just when everyone thought that the rainstorm was about to stop.

Ning Pengpeng only felt a tremor beneath her body, and the person who was standing in the ruined temple almost fell to the ground.

The fire in front of them, as well as the firewood being dried by Luo Chengen and others, were shaking and scattered on the ground.

Ning Pengpeng looked at the land beneath her in shock. She never expected that there was no worst, only worse.

Originally, looking at the way the rain had stopped, the dam should not have burst.

Now that the earth dragon has turned around, the dam that Huang Xue Shu and his men had patched five or six times in the past can no longer be blocked.

From a leaking place, the crack gradually expanded.

The water flowing out of the cracks directly washed away the clay that Huang Xueshu and others were trying to patch up.

"Lord County Magistrate, run quickly!"

When Guo Shihai saw the county magistrate, who was still desperately trying to patch up the cracked hole, he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Huang Xueshu's arm, and then ran diagonally upwards.

Then, he heard a gurgling sound clearly in his ears.

He knew that it was the scream caused by the entire dam cracking.

But now, he only has one thought, and that is to live together with the county magistrate.

At the beginning, Huang Xue Shu still wanted to struggle and continue to patch the holes.

However, when he was dragged away by Guo Shihai, Huang Xue Shu was filled with unwillingness as he looked at the increasingly larger hole.

Then, he watched helplessly as the dam cracked and burst in just a blink of an eye.

The river water blocked by the dam was like the rushing Yellow River, carrying countless stones and sand, falling turbulently downwards.

Guo Shihai only hated his parents for giving him two legs, and he was dragging a person in his hand. He tried his best to pounce on a tree next to the embankment that looked at least as thick as an adult man.

passed.

When he grabbed the branch, the rushing water also hit them.

If Guo Shihai hadn't been very strong, he would have been knocked unconscious by the force of the flood.

After all, the magistrate, who was being held tightly by his arm, looked at him with a pale face, his eyes closed tightly, and the black gauze hat on his head had disappeared. His head was drooped, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
