Chapter 326 arrived one day early, but cleared.

Chapter 326 arrived one day early, but cleared.

Chapter 326 arrived a day early, but passed the level.

"Being attentive is not a way to make a living. To get things done, you need two hands, one is called power, the other is called strength."

Xiang Fangsu stretched out his arms, said one, held one, and clenched his fists tightly.

"In Huazhu County, the highest-ranking official is Yu Dayi. In the face of the flood, Ah Shui has to suppress him, so he is considered to have power.

The strength is not good. I remember a few months ago, Kaiyun and Yipeng said that they supported a wolf smoke master 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 his head: "Huazhu County is much stronger than other counties. The more chaotic it is, the stronger it is. Ah Shui is at a disadvantage."

"No matter how bad it is, Ah Shui has to do it."

A voice interrupted their conversation.

"Zhong Shi!"

Ke Wenbin and Xiang Fangsu turned around when they heard the voice and saw Ran Zhongshi coming back from the port with two account books tucked under his arms.

Xiang Fangsu pointed to the tents in the distance and asked: "Have you arranged for the disaster victims?"

"Not much. Fortunately, it's not too late. If it was winter or autumn, the dam would have collapsed and there would have been more trouble. I don't know how many people would have frozen to death. The cost of saving them would have been much higher. We would have needed firewood and clothes."

"The levees are unlikely to burst in winter, as the flood season is all in summer and autumn. However, there are many mosquitoes and dry weather in summer, so epidemics are very troublesome."

Ran Zhongshi was stunned: "Now that you mention it, I remember that I haven't heard of any large-scale epidemic in Huazhu County this time? Strange..."

"Isn't it a good thing that there is no epidemic? By the way, why did you just say that A Shui would go even if it meant suffering a loss?" Xiang Fangsu was very optimistic and turned around to bring the subject back.

"Did you know that the person Wei Lin sent was Wei Shao?" Ran Zhongshi didn't worry too much about the epidemic.

As Xiang Fangsu said, it is a good thing to have no epidemic.

Ke Wenbin nodded: "I know, of course I don't know, Ah Shui left first and didn't have time to tell him, otherwise he would definitely tell him to be careful."

Ran Zhongshi explained: "Wei Shaoren is not smart, but he has strength. Wei Lin knows this, so he sent him to Huazhu County so that he can handle any problems at the critical moment.

But how can that show your ability? If you are six feet six, it is normal for you to eat three pounds of meat in one meal. Only if you are three feet six and eat three pounds of meat, people will say you are great.

When the envoy from Zhili came that day, many people reacted with dissatisfaction, as you can see.

Brother Yue Long asked A Shui to go because he wanted to give A Shui a chance to secure his position.

How does that sentence go? The women are jealous of my beautiful eyebrows, and they spread rumors that I am good at sex. Do you understand? "

"No wonder. I was wondering why Ah Shui was so young and asked him to deal with such troublesome matters."

Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin suddenly realized.

People have to grind on things before they can stand up.

Liang Qu was very young, and he mostly used bows and arrows to encircle and suppress the Ghost Mother Sect. He jumped two levels at once, and many people were dissatisfied. Naturally, he wanted 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 make a tiger.

"Of course, Wenbin is right." Ran Zhongshi added, "Ashui is careful and smart. He may not be strong enough, but he has brains. Destroying the dike is a big deal, and it is not a trivial matter. Brother Yuelong trusts Ashui, so he gave him this opportunity."

Big things show one's ability, small things show one's attitude, and trivial things show one's pattern.

If you get big things done, gossip will disappear.

……

On a slope southeast of Huazhu County.

The rainproof tarpaulin was tied between the tree trunks, and raindrops from the treetops fell, making muffled sounds.

A total of six people, including Cha Qing, Fan Zixuan, Yan Qingshan, and Yan Chongwen, hid under the rainproof tarpaulin and ate dry food in boredom, while the horses tied to the trees lowered their heads to nibble on the grass and shrubs.

Fan Zixuan sat on the 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 master must be too busy and has no time to look for us."

Before Liang Qu left, he specifically told a few people not to run around and to stay here and gather.

Several people present were very powerful. The river officials and some river chiefs arrived early and arrived at noon. Now it was almost dark, and there was still no sign of Liang Qu.

Waiting for two or three hours in an entire afternoon would inevitably make people suspicious.

Logically speaking, the first thing to do after a disaster is to identify the affected area, rescue the victims, or investigate the cause of the dam collapse.

No matter which of the three, all of them require manpower.

Shouldn't Liang Qu come find them as soon as possible?
"Hey, there's a boat coming, there's a boat coming!" Zhu Chunqiao on the tree shouted to several people.

Yan Qingshan looked up: "Big ship or small ship? One or two?"

"Not too big, not too small, just one ship!"

Everyone walked out of the oilcloth.

A boat four meters long and wide came from a distance. When it saw Cha Qing and others waiting on the slope, it came over on its own initiative.

Cha Qing and others were overjoyed, thinking that it was someone arranged by Liang Qu who came to pick them up.

Unexpectedly, the captain of the boat approached and shouted, "Are you trapped on the mountain? You can take a boat. For one tael of silver per person, we will take you to the nearest place to help the people!"

"unlucky!"

Fan Zixuan turned and left. There was no one to pick them up, just a group of boatmen who were making a fortune from disasters, and the cabin was full of "passengers" with tired faces.

Cha Qing originally wanted to shout the other party away, but when he thought of Liang Qu's good reputation in Yixing Town, he changed his mind.

As a subordinate, you naturally have to please his superiors.

Liang Qu is a man of great righteousness and justice, and it is well-known in the village. Aren’t these people the credit that came to him?
After half a cup of tea.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I was wrong, I was really wrong, I won't do it again! I really won't do it again!"

The captain of the ship was beaten black and blue by Zhu Chunqiao and others. His face was like a soy sauce shop, with red and black spots all over it. He begged for mercy again and again.

"Huh!"

Zhu Chunqiao spat in the captain's face.

The white foam and blood were mixed together, and the trembling captain didn't dare to wipe it off.

Yan Chongwen took out some dry food from his bag and distributed it to the victims on the boat.

After checking, he took out a purse from the captain's waist and returned the money to everyone.

"Don't be afraid, we are the river god and river chief of the river station."

The victims expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

One of the victims was quite hesitant and carefully reminded: "Gentlemen, the captain of this boat is from the Liu family...if you beat him...it will be difficult to deal with."

A four-meter-long boat is definitely not small. It is obvious that the family that can own such a large boat is not an ordinary family.

Cha Qing said in a clear voice: "Don't worry, everyone. We are the subordinates of Du Shui Lang Liang Qu Liangye. The villagers may not know what kind of official Du Shui Lang is. Everyone just needs to remember one thing, he is no worse than the county magistrate! Does the family you mentioned dare to touch the county magistrate?"

The victims shook their heads.

"Then forget about the Liu family or the Lu family! If he dares to come, we will kill him!"

The captain was filled with horror, and finally knew where this group of strong men came from.

What bad luck.

Fan Zixuan grabbed the captain's collar and asked, "Where is the nearest Jimindi you mentioned?"

The captain trembled and said, "Eight miles to the east, there is a disaster area with about 10,000 victims..."

"Eight miles is not too far..." Yan Qingshan thought for a moment, "Chongwen, Youdong, you two should go there and take them back."

"Do not worry."

Yan Chongwen and Ji Youdong jumped onto the boat and escorted the people to Jimindi.

It's getting dark.

The sound of horse hooves was heard again in the distance.

A very burly man emerged from the darkness, riding a horse that was wading through the water, panting from exhaustion.

Behind the man was a group of river officials, including Junma, Chen Jiechang and Li Libo.

"Kou Zhuang! Jie Chang! Li Bo! You are here!"

Li Libo was quite surprised: "Didn't you wait for Brother Shui?"

Yan Qingshan smiled bitterly: "We arrived at noon, but we have been waiting until now and still haven't seen anyone..."

Cha Qing laughed: "That's a good thing, we are all here, so Lord Liang doesn't have to come to us in two trips."

Not long after Li Libo and others arrived, Yan Chongwen and Ji Youdong came back rowing a boat.

Kou Zhuang and others didn't ask what happened.

Half of the people present were He Bo, who held higher official positions, so it was not their turn to interfere in what was being done.

As the night deepened, the bonfire burned brightly.

The sound of rain mixed with the crackling of firewood.

The orange light was reflected on everyone's faces, and they were completely silent.

Liang Qu, is it true that you are not short of people?

At three quarters past the hour of Xu, the sound of oars was heard in the distance.

The captain held up a torch, looked at the crowd of people on the hillside, and shouted loudly.

"Are you all Lord Liang's men?"

The next morning.

Two large boats carrying men and horses joined the fleet.

The crowd, who were ready to fight, looked up at the huge fleet and the wide deck filled with disaster victims drinking porridge, and were completely speechless.

Such a large fleet...

Did Liang Qu do all this in one day?
