A dark cloud floated in the sky. Xiao County was particularly dull this morning. Zhang San said to Zhang Fu: "Have everything been packed?"
"Sir, everything is packed and ready to go at any time."
"Okay, look at the weather today, I'm sure it will rain!" Zhang San looked up and saw that it was cloudy today, and he was in a good mood. If it rains, it will undoubtedly be more beneficial to disaster prevention.
Qian Tong did not go back after arriving yesterday. He, Yu Mingsheng and Xu Changliang sent Zhang San back to Beijing. Magistrate Zheng also came to the inn with a group of officials from Xiao County.
"Why is this county so quiet today? No one can be seen!" Zhang San did not take a car, but walked out of the city with Yu Mingsheng and others. Although Zhang San got up very early, it was already dawn, and there was no one on the road.
It's also strange to see pedestrians.
"After I leave, Xuzhou will ask you all. The weather today is a good sign. It would be great if it rains." Zhang San said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, we will never relax," Qian Tong replied.
"Yes, if there is an autumn rain, it will be very beneficial to sowing in autumn!" Yu Mingsheng also agreed.
"Uncle Zhang County, please take care of yourself along the way and be careful when you return to Beijing!" Xu Changliang sighed.
"Don't worry, it's okay. In the worst case, I'll go home and farm!" Zhang San laughed loudly after saying this.
Qian Tong, Yu Mingsheng and others did not laugh. They shook their heads and sighed, "The good situation Zhang County Bo has created with great effort can no longer bear fruit."
"Okay, don't look unhappy. The dark clouds in the sky are about to catch up." Zhang San joked. When he was leaving, he didn't want to see everyone looking unhappy.
"Su Xin, Muramasa, take care of yourselves here. If anything happens, just come to them. I'll wait for you to come back at home." Zhang San said to Su Xin and Muramasa, who had been silent beside them.
"Okay, young master, please take care of yourself." Su Xin said softly, feeling very reluctant.
"Sir, we are here and you adults are taking care of you. It will be okay. Just be more careful. If it doesn't work, we will go back to Zhangjiacun and continue to be our farmers." Muramasa replied.
"Don't worry, no matter how big the matter is, you don't want to see each other off. We are all busy with official duties. Go back and get busy!" Zhang San said to the big guy.
"Let's keep walking forward. We will come back after we leave the city gate." Yu Mingsheng said.
The city was quiet, but outside the city there were crowds of people, standing on both sides of the road. Everyone looked in the direction of the city gate in silence.
Zhang San and others came to the gate of the city and saw the crowd waiting on the road outside the city. When they saw Zhang San's figure, they all rushed forward and shouted: "County Uncle Zhang, don't leave! We can't leave here.
Open to you!"
Zhang San burst into laughter for a moment, his eyes filled with moisture. All the previous negative emotions such as anger, dissatisfaction, disappointment, etc., immediately dissipated when he saw this group of victims.
The officials in the court did not see their efforts, but the people of Xuzhou remembered them. Zhang San said to the victims: "Thank you all for coming to see me off. In the future, you must work hard with the government to defeat this disaster and rebuild our country."
's home."
When the victims heard Zhang San's words, they all choked up. Although many people didn't know why Mr. Zhang left Xuzhou at this time, there were also some well-informed people who knew that Zhang San had been framed and wanted to return to Beijing for questioning.
Responsible.
Zhang San didn't want to see such a scene, and his heart was filled with anger, so he got on the carriage and waved goodbye to everyone.
When Su Xin saw Zhang San getting on the carriage, she couldn't help but shed tears. This time she finally had the opportunity to be alone with Zhang San, but she didn't expect that they would be separated again so soon.
Yu Mingsheng and others were also very emotional. Seeing the thousands of people sending Zhang San off in front of them, they felt very uneasy. Thousands of words finally converged into one sentence: "Uncle Zhang, take care!"
I don’t know if the suffering of the victims was finally seen by God, or if the scene of parting at this time moved God, a few drops of rain began to fall sporadically.
"It's raining!" Someone shouted, and then everyone shouted it was raining.
Everyone shouted in unison to Zhang San's carriage: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"
The victims knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the departing carriage, thanking County Uncle Zhang for his contribution to the people of Xuzhou. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but the victims looked at Zhang San's carriage and refused to leave for a long time.
When Yu Mingsheng and others saw the sudden rain, they wanted to shout loudly like the victims, but in the end they could only sigh, and the sadness of separation was somewhat dispersed by the autumn rain.
Zhang San brought hope to Xuzhou when he came, and he also left sweet rain for Xuzhou when he left!
Zhang San was sitting in the carriage and felt very happy when he heard the shouts of the victims from behind and the sound of raindrops outside the carriage.
"Sir, the rain came just in time. It's a pity that you were recalled at this time. Otherwise, our disaster relief mission in Xuzhou would have been successful, and the emperor would have promoted you to a higher rank."
It's a pity..." Zhang Fu said at the end, a sigh came out.
"What a pity. It's raining. Drive well. We're not here to get promoted. Being able to help the victims is the biggest gain of this trip." Zhang San said angrily.
"Sir, you are really generous. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Let's find a place in front to take shelter from the rain?" Zhang Fu said.
"Okay, let everyone slow down and pay attention to safety." Zhang San replied.
Zhang San left Xuzhou, but the people of Xuzhou will always remember Uncle Zhang. For a long time, people in Xuzhou have said that Uncle Zhang is the Master of Qingtian and the Dragon King of Rainmaker. Many people pay homage to Zhang San at home.
Set up a longevity tablet and worship it every day.
After Yu Mingsheng and others sent Zhang San away, they continued to carry out disaster relief work. The original plans were also vigorously advanced. Especially the arrival of this rain made Xuzhou even more powerful in fighting the disaster.
Yu Mingsheng asked Qian Tong to urge all counties to carry out autumn sowing work and strive to overcome this disaster as soon as possible.
"Zhang Fu, how long does it take to arrive in Chang'an?" It has been two days since Zhang San left Xuzhou.
Along the way, Zhang San asked Zhang Fu to drive slowly and not to rush back to Beijing. Zhang San also thought about how he should respond. Judging from this edict, Li Shimin would definitely not agree to punish him, and of course he was not guilty.
.
I just have to worry about starting a war of words with those officials who framed me!
Maybe he misses his hometown! As he gets closer to home, Zhang San becomes more and more homesick.
"Sire, I estimate that we will arrive in Chang'an in the evening." Zhang Fu replied.
"Don't go to Chang'an yet, speed up, let's go home first, and then go back to life tomorrow depending on our mood." Zhang San said.
"Okay, Sir, please sit down." It has been more than a month since I left home, and everyone is a little homesick.
