Jiang Hexi originally wanted to go to the yard, but now that he knew that Jiang Xiaojiu and Chen Yu might be intimate here, he planned to go somewhere else.
She opened the back door and arrived on the street. Suddenly she heard the dog next door barking like crazy.
Then the dogs in their own house and other dogs on the entire street seemed to be awakened and barked neatly.
"What's the point?" Jiang Hexi knew that dogs don't like barking at night, and only cats are in heat occasionally will this happen.
Could it be that some stranger came in? She couldn't see any shadow at all, and it was impossible for strangers to hide so well.
Is it something unclean?
No, she never believed that there would be that thing.
She looked carefully at the street and suddenly saw two or three toads on the ground. Regardless of the danger of being hit by a car, she jumped swaggeringly in the middle of the Majiang River, as if she was rushing to go somewhere.
Then there was a strong wind that swept down many leaves.
Jiang Hexi ran home and looked at his well. Sure enough, the water in the well was actually bubbling.
This is a precursor to the earthquake! However, this is a manifestation of a few days in advance. If you say it out now, it will definitely cause panic in the city and everyone will be innocently injured.
She planned to wait until the next day to go to the palace to explain clearly to the emperor.
However, before the next day at the supermarket, the emperor's ceremonial guards sing outside and auspicious omens came, and the toad would come to sing.
Jiang Hexi hurriedly grabbed the news agency and asked what was going on.
The news agency said: "Yesterday, the emperor was happy. Seeing the well bubbling and the leaves falling, it must be a good omen. God has blessed me with the beam."
Jiang Hexi hurriedly said to the news agency: "Take me to see the emperor quickly, I have something to say."
When Jiang Hexi entered the palace and saw the emperor, the emperor was ordering people to decorate his Golden Palace. All the golden places should be replaced with red paint to welcome the visit of the gods.
Seeing Jiang Hexi coming, he said enthusiastically: "Hexi, this is a great joy from heaven. I plan to increase your position and promote you to a third level. You can be a female dean!"
If Jiang Hexi hadn't known the emperor in the past, he would have thought he was joking. But now the situation is urgent and there is no time to say so much.
Jiang Hexi hurriedly said: "Have you noticed that the movement of creatures has been abnormal recently?"
The emperor patted his thighs and smiled and said, "Of course there is, look, the toads in the distance are going to surrender to my Daliang. Isn't this joy from the sky?"
Jiang Hexi shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be woe!"
The emperor immediately looked at Jiang Hexi with a gloomy face: "Good you Jiang Hexi, I invite you to the palace to the banquet. That's to praise you, but you're so good. I've wiped out my interest. Don't be ungrateful!"
Jiang Hexi knelt in front of the emperor and said, "As far as my daughter knows, these abnormal phenomena are also because they think that the earthquake is coming."
"Earthquake?" The emperor looked at Jiang Hexi. He knew the harm of the earthquake. There were very similar records in the previous dynasty and historical books.
Not only will the entire ground shake, it will even cause other things, with heavy casualties.
"Well, you said that there is an earthquake, and this reason is not unbelievable." The emperor looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "Those toads will certainly go away when they have earthquakes. But they all walked towards the direction of the palace. Don't tell me,
The palace is about to have an earthquake, and they are here to die!"
Jiang Hexi had heard of ghosts being obsessed, but he didn't expect that the wise emperor would still have ghosts being obsessed with them on weekdays.
She looked at the toads behind and said, "Those toads knew about the earthquake on the mountain and wanted to hide from the plains. Even if they came to the palace, they would have been passing by the river and they would go to the farmland."
The emperor looked at Jiang Hexi and said with great silence, "Oh, it seems you are going to joke with me? Then I bet on you a thousand taels of gold, and if you lose, you can do it!"
As he said that, the painter around him worked harder to make his brush.
There was a eunuch from the Imperial Heavenly Prison who wanted to report it, but when he saw that the emperor was already obsessed with it, he didn't dare to speak.
When Jiang Hexi saw their shadows from afar, he called them over and said, "If you have anything to say, you should tell His Majesty clearly. If you don't say anything, it will harm the people, and you will really regret it!"
When they saw Jiang Hexi being so righteous, they knelt on the ground and handed over their observation records to the emperor.
When the emperor saw such a record, he didn't speak, but went to his bedroom alone.
Jiang Hexi knew that the emperor had a difficult situation. If he took back his life, he would feel that he would go back on his word. But if he continued to do this, it would probably be delayed.
Seeing that the emperor was not here, Jiang Hexi ordered the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to strengthen the city walls overnight and inspect the backyard of the residents' houses.
Then he went to Huo Jingchen to discuss the matter of mobilizing the army and entering the city to defend.
The entire capital suddenly entered a scene of nervousness and alertness. The frogs had already passed by and could see birds passing through the air from time to time.
Seeing that the city was about to stop everything, Jiang Hexi just waited for the earthquake to come.
Sure enough, three days later, at noon, the sun suddenly disappeared into the sky, and then a strong wind blew on the ground. In an instant, sand and stones flew away, and there was chaos.
Then, the ground shook up and down three times like a pancake.
Many tiles fell on the roof. Because everyone was on guard, they did not hurt anyone.
As for the palace, because it was a whole piece of glazed tiles, it just shook and left a little bit, and nothing else was wrong.
After the vibration, Jiang Hexi walked out of his house, looked at the sun in the sky, and gradually showed a smile in the dark clouds, and then returned to the beautiful sunshine.
"It's such a false alarm!" Huo Jingchen looked at the sunshine outside. Some bold people had already begun to move back and forth in the city, but Jiang Hexi was still going back and forth to count the impact of the earthquake.
"What a false alarm? Is this a real shock?" Jiang Hexi said to Huo Jingchen. "If they don't go home to hide, maybe many people will be injured by the tiles, and I don't know how many people are on the river.
Fall and then pour out the mud.”
Huo Jingchen nodded, pointed to Jiang Hexi's little mouth and said, "You are really good. In fact, many people knew that there was an earthquake that day, but the emperor didn't say it. As a result, you said it alone, and you dared to challenge the emperor.
, You really have yours."
Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Jingchen's appearance and shook his head and said, "Are you just changing your mind like them? If I had known, I wouldn't have told you. Let me talk to the emperor and see how he dealt with you."
Huo Jingchen smiled awkwardly, looked at Jiang Hexi, showing a begging look.
