"Being careful is not a way to make a living. You need two hands to do things, one is called power, the other is called strength. Xiang Fangsu stretched out his arms, said one, clenched one, and clenched his fists tightly. "In Huazhu County, the highest-ranking official is Yu Dayi. In the face of the flood, A Shui has to suppress him, which is considered to be powerful. In terms of strength, I remember that a few months ago, Kaiyun and Yipeng said that they supported a master of wolf smoke in Huazhu County to maintain the canal transportation, right? Just a small water gang has a master of wolf smoke. Needless to say, the strength of the entire county is definitely much stronger than our neighboring Fengbu County. " Ke Wenbin couldn't help but nod: "Huazhu County is much stronger than other counties. The more chaotic it is, the more powerful it is. A Shui is at a disadvantage. " "A Shui has to go up even if he suffers. " A voice interrupted the conversation between the two. "Zhong Shi! " Ke Wenbin and Xiang Fangsu turned around when they heard the voice. Ran Zhongshi came back from the port with two account books under his arms.
Xiang Fangsu pointed to the tent in the distance: "Have the victims been arranged?" "Basically, it's almost the same. Fortunately, it's not too late. If it's winter or autumn, the dam will burst, and there will be more trouble. I don't know how many people will freeze to death. The cost of treatment will also be much higher. Firewood and clothes are all needed. " "It's unlikely that the dam will burst in winter. The flood season is all in summer and autumn. It's just that there are many mosquitoes and dry weather in summer, so epidemics are very troublesome. " Ran Zhongshi was stunned: "When you mention it, I remember that I haven't heard of any large-scale epidemics in Huazhu County this time? Strange..." "Isn't it a good thing that there is no epidemic? By the way, why did you say that A Shui would go up even if he suffered a loss?" Xiang Fangsu was very optimistic and turned around to bring the topic back. "The one sent by Wei Lin is Wei Shao, do you know? "Ran Zhongshi didn't worry too much about the epidemic. As Xiang Fangsu said, it's a good thing that there is no epidemic. Ke Wenbin nodded: "I know, how could I not know, Ah Shui left first and didn't have time to tell him, otherwise he would definitely be told to be careful. " Ran Zhongshi explained: "Wei Shaoren is not smart, but he has strength. Wei Lin knows it, so he sent him to Huazhu County to cover up any problems at the critical moment. But how can that show his ability? You are six feet six, and it is normal to eat three pounds of meat in one meal. Only when you are three feet six and eat three pounds of meat, people will say you are powerful. That day, the Zhili envoy came over, and many people responded that you can see it and are dissatisfied. Brother Yue Long asked Ah Shui to go, just to give Ah Shui a chance to secure his position. How did the saying go, the women are jealous of my eyebrows, and rumors say that I am good at lust, do you understand? " "No wonder, I said Ah Shui is so young, why let him deal with such troubles. " Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin suddenly realized. One must be tempered in things before he can stand firm. Liang Qu was young, and he mostly pulled the bow and shot arrows in the encirclement and suppression of the Ghost Mother Sect. He jumped two levels at once, and many people were dissatisfied. Naturally, he had to make some achievements to show everyone. It is true that a blacksmith must be strong himself, and it is also true that three people can make a tiger. "Of course, Wenbin is right." Ran Zhongshi added, "Ashui is careful and clever. He is not strong enough, but he has brains. Destroying the dike is a big deal, and it is not trivial. Brother Yuelong trusts Ashui, so he gave him this opportunity. ”
Big things show ability, small things show attitude, and trivial things show pattern. Big things are done well, and gossips will disappear. … On a slope in the southeast of Huazhu County. The rainproof tarpaulin was tied between the tree trunks, and the raindrops on the treetops fell, making a muffled sound. Cha Qing, Fan Zixuan, Yan Qingshan, Yan Chongwen and a total of six people hid under the rainproof tarpaulin and ate dry food in boredom, while the horses tied to the trees lowered their heads to eat grass and shrubs. Fan Zixuan sat on a stone and wondered: "Did Lord Liang forget about us?" Yan Qingshan scratched his head: "No way..." Cha Qing rejected it outright: "Don't talk nonsense, the Lord must be too busy and has no time to look for us. " Before Liang Qu left, he specifically told several people not to run around and stay here to gather. The people present were strong. The river officials and some river chiefs arrived early and arrived at noon. Now it was almost dark, and Liang Qu was still nowhere to be seen. An afternoon of waiting for two or three hours inevitably made people suspicious. In theory, the first thing to do after a disaster is to find out the disaster area, rescue the victims, or find out the cause of the dam collapse. No matter which of the three things, manpower is needed. Shouldn't Liang Qu come to find them quickly? "Hey, there's a boat coming, there's a boat coming!" Zhu Chunqiao shouted to the few people on the tree. Yan Qingshan looked up: "Big ship or small ship? One or two?" "Not big or small, one! " Everyone walked out of the oilcloth. A four-meter-long and wide boat swam from a distance, and seeing Cha Qing and others waiting on the slope, it took the initiative to approach. Cha Qing and others were overjoyed, thinking that it was someone arranged by Liang Qu to pick them up. Unexpectedly, the boat captain approached and shouted: "Are you trapped on the mountain? You can take a boat, one or two silver coins per person, and I will take you to the nearest relief area!" "Bad luck!" Fan Zixuan turned around and left. It was not someone who came to pick them up at all, but a group of boatmen who made a fortune from disasters, and the cabin was full of "passengers" with tired faces. Cha Qing wanted to drive the other party away, but thinking of Liang Qu's good reputation in Yixing Town, he changed his mind. As a subordinate, you naturally have to do what he likes. Liang Qu is very righteous, and it is well known in the village that he is righteous. Aren't these people the credit of delivering them to the door?
After half a cup of tea. "Grandpa! Grandpa! Stop hitting, stop hitting! I was wrong, I was really wrong, I won’t dare to do it again! I really won’t dare to do it again! " The captain of the boat was beaten by Zhu Chunqiao and others. His face was swollen and bruised. His face was like a soy sauce shop. Red and black all popped out. He begged for mercy. "Huh!" Zhu Chunqiao spitted on the captain's face. The white foam and blood mixed together. The trembling captain didn't dare to wipe it off. Yan Chongwen took out dry food from his bag and distributed it to the victims on the boat. Cha Qing took out a purse from the waist of the captain and returned the money to everyone. "Don't be afraid, we are the river god and river chief of the river station." The victims thanked him repeatedly. One of the victims hesitated and reminded carefully: "Gentlemen, this captain is from the Liu family...you beat him...it's not easy to deal with." A four-foot boat is definitely not small. It is obvious that it is not an ordinary family to have such a big boat. Cha Qing said in a clear voice: "Don't worry, we are the subordinates of Liang Quliang, the Du Shui Lang. The villagers may not know what kind of official Du Shui Lang is. Everyone just needs to remember one thing, no worse than the county magistrate! Does the family you mentioned dare to touch the county magistrate?" The victims shook their heads. "Then don't care about the Liu family or the Donkey family! If he dares to come, we dare to make him die!" The captain was horrified, and finally knew where this group of strong men came from. It was really unlucky. Fan Zixuan grabbed the captain's collar: "Where is the nearest relief area you mentioned?" The captain trembled: "Eight miles to the east, there is one, there are about 10,000 disaster victims..." "Eight miles, not far..." Yan Qingshan thought for a while, "Chongwen, Youdong, you two will take a hard trip, send them there and come back." "Don't worry." Yan Chongwen and Ji Youdong jumped on the boat and escorted the people to the relief area. The sky gradually darkened. The sound of horse hooves sounded again in the distance. A very burly man emerged from the darkness, riding a horse and wading through the water, panting from exhaustion. Behind the man was a group of river officials, including the horse, Chen Jiechang, and Li Libo. "Kou Zhuang! Jiechang! Libo! You are here!" Li Libo was quite surprised: "Didn't you wait for Brother Shui?"
Yan Qingshan smiled bitterly: "We arrived at noon, and we haven't seen anyone until now..." Cha Qing laughed: "That's a good thing, we are all here, so Lord Liang doesn't need to come to us in two trips." Not long after Li Libo and others arrived, Yan Chongwen and Ji Youdong came back rowing a famous boat. Kou Zhuang and others didn't ask what happened. Half of the people present were river gods, with higher official positions, so it was not their turn to interrupt what was going on. The night deepened, and the bonfire was blazing. The sound of rain and the crackling of firewood mixed together. The orange light reflected on everyone's faces, and they were completely silent. Liang Qu, is there really no shortage of people? At 15:30, the sound of oars came from afar. The captain held a torch, looked at the group of people on the hillside, and shouted loudly. "Are you all the men of Lord Liang?" The next morning. Two large boats carrying people and horses joined the fleet. The people who were ready to fight looked up at the huge fleet and the wide deck full of disaster victims drinking porridge, and were completely speechless. Such a large fleet... Was it all done by Liang Qu in one day?
