Seeing Lin Xu's appearance, Yueyao immediately sat up with her clothes on and asked with concern.
"Just now, Chang San came over and told me that all five levees of the Baisong River burst overnight! Now, the fields and villages along the Baisong River have been flooded, and people don't know how many people have died!"
Lin Xu said with a solemn expression!
"What?! All five levees of the Baisong River burst overnight?! How is this possible?! These five levees were just repaired last spring, costing a total of more than one million taels of silver.
!I also heard Mr. Zhou say at that time that although these five levees cost a little more money, they are indestructible! Even if one of the levees breaks, it is impossible for all five levees to be destroyed overnight.
ah!"
Yueyao said in disbelief!
Then, she looked at Lin Xu with horrified eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Did someone do something to the embankment?"
"Yue Yao, do you still remember that the prefect's Yamen suddenly bought a boatload of black powder a few days ago?"
Lin Xu said coldly.
"Could it be that the prefect's Yamen bought a boatload of black powder just to blow up these dams?!"
Yueyao was very shocked, and then said doubtfully: "But Mr. Xu is a good official who loves the people like his own son. It is impossible for him to do such a heartless thing!"
"That's right, with Mr. Xu's character, he would never be able to do such a thing! However, Mr. Xu happens to be on leave due to illness these days. I'm afraid he may not know about this!"
"Is there anyone in the prefect's Yamen who dares to do such a thing behind Mr. Xu's back?!"
"Perhaps no one in the magistrate's yamen dares to make his own decisions, but there is no guarantee that no one from above will push this matter forward! Although Mr. Xu has been on vacation these days, Mr. Xu presided over the construction of the Baisong River embankment! And this ship is black
The gunpowder was also purchased in the name of the prefect’s Yamen! No matter what, Mr. Xu can’t escape his involvement!”
Lin Xu said meaningfully!
Yueyao, such a smart girl, immediately understood what Lin Xu meant!
"Some people took advantage of Mr. Xu's illness to secretly do such an unscrupulous thing, and then let Mr. Xu take the blame afterwards! It's really despicable and shameless!"
"I really regret that I didn't insist on seeing Mr. Xu that day! If I had told him about the prefect's Yamen's purchase of a shipment of black powder, perhaps this man-made disaster could have been avoided!"
Lin Xu punched the wall so hard that blood flowed out instantly!
"gentlemen!"
Yue Yao screamed and quickly went over to hug Lin Xu's hand. Seeing the blood dripping, she felt very distressed and bent her head to suck up the blood.
"Yue Yao, don't be like this..."
Lin Xu wanted to take his hand out, but Yueyao held it tightly. Lin Xu would hurt her if he applied too much force, so he had to let her take a few sips.
"Sir, I accidentally scratched my arm last time. You did it for me in the same way. You also said that after doing this, you will be less likely to be infected by something called bacteria..."
Yueyao wiped the corners of her mouth and said. This chapter has been completed!
