"Flood?"

Tables and chairs collided, and several people in the hall stood up suddenly, turning their heads to see Fan Xinglai hurriedly walking through the corridor.

"I'll open the door!"

Yan Chongwen, who was closer to the door, kicked on the ground with his toes, walked across the courtyard, floated past the shadow wall, and raised the door bolt.

Li Libo, who was clasping the iron ring, had his hands empty and raised his head. A stranger's face appeared under the edge of his bamboo hat. He suddenly became wary and took a step back.

"Who are you!"

"I……"

Just as Yan Chongwen was about to explain, Liang Qu jumped in and said, "Come in and talk!"

Li Libo didn't hesitate, walked through the hanging flower door in the rain, and hurried into the hall. He didn't even have time to take off his raincoat, and he was panting and explaining.

"The Hebo Station received a flood report saying that Huazhu County's embankments burst last night and floods occurred. Most of the entire county was flooded, and several neighboring counties were also affected.

Mr. Ran is preparing troops and horses in the government office and directing the team to go over for disaster relief. Let us call you over quickly! "

"Is it really true that Huazhu County's dykes burst?"

Yan Qingshan looked impatient, and the three people around him were no better.

The four people were born in Huazhu County. They were harmed by the Ghost Mother Cult and had to leave their hometowns and bring their families with them to work hard. However, many familiar villagers still stayed in the county because of their inconvenient legs and feet!

Li Libo looked at Liang Qu.

"The river under my command is long, so there is nothing to worry about."

Li Libo nodded vigorously when he heard this: "It's such a big deal. I heard it three times and confirmed it before running all the way. It must be Huazhu County!"

The four of them were breathing rapidly, and the color on their faces had faded.

Liang Qu asked: "Hasn't there been a flood in Huazhu County before?"

Yan Qingshan clasped his fists hurriedly: "You don't know something, sir. There is a tributary of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in Huazhu County, named Heishui River.

The Heishui River flows straight for nearly thirty miles before reaching Huazhu County. The water flow becomes more rapid as it goes down, but there is a big Shekou when it reaches Huazhu County.

Before the Jiazi years ago, there was a long lake in the northeast of Huazhu County, which could still accommodate the rapids of the Heishui River. However, after the Jiazi years, the water system between the Chang Lake and the Heishui River had been cut off and there was no connection!

So far, there have been heavy rains in Huazhu County in summer and autumn, and floods have occurred every year, with no exception!

Until more than 40 years ago, our Qiu County magistrate Qiu Gonggong came to our place. Mr. Qiu had to allocate funds from the court and worked together to build a Qiugong embankment at Dashekou.

Since then, the number of floods in Huazhu County has been reduced a lot, but once the dykes burst, the situation will be much more serious than in other counties! "

Not to mention the entire Huaiyin Prefecture, which county under the jurisdiction of the prefectural capital adjacent to Jianghuai Daze can escape flooding? It's just that the floods caused by the Jianghuai River are far less "dangerous" than the Huangsha River above, so I don't have a deep impression.

There is always a small flood every three to five years, and there is no escape from a major flood every eight or ten years.

However, Huazhu County has a special terrain.

A small flood in another county is a major flood.

Floods in other counties are natural disasters.

Yan Qingshan’s younger brother Yan Chongwen added: “This year, the Ghost Mother Cult has made people panic. Most of the young people and martial arts masters in Huazhu County have fled and gone to other places to develop. Most of the people who stayed in the county are old people with inconvenient legs and feet, causing them to suffer. If there is such a big flood, I'm afraid..."

The world is full of ghosts!

First there’s the Ghost Mother Cult, then there’s another dike break!

Huazhu County was originally also a strong county, ranking in the upper reaches of Huaiyin Prefecture.

After such two encounters, I am afraid that there is no one who can do anything, and now he is worse than Fengbu County.

"It's hard to leave our homeland, so the four of us brothers are a little anxious. Don't blame me, sir!"

Yan Qingshan knelt on one knee, and the three people behind him also fell to the ground.

Li Libo clicked his tongue.

If I'm not mistaken, all of them are martial arts masters.

Look at the Shouliang Canal again.

Amazing, really amazing.

What a man!

"It's okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Hurry to the river and wait for orders!"

Liang Qu took the coir raincoat and bamboo hat from Fan Xinglai. Without any nonsense, he rode up Chishan and led the four of them to the river bank.

Li Libo also went out to inform others.

Several cups of hot tea steamed up, and the bustling hall fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of heavy rain outside.

"Um... are you ready to cook the Feilong soup? I haven't killed it yet."

Aunt Zhang popped up from outside the wall, holding the wings of the flying dragon in one hand and holding a sharp knife in the other.

Just now, when I was boiling water to iron my hair, I heard a burst of noise in the hall, saying something about a flood. Immediately, the owner rode out without saying a word.

Fan Xinglai, the only one left in the hall, thought about it for a while. He estimated that the flood control would not be possible in a day or two, and the old monk did not eat meat.

"Keep it up."

"Cluck, cluck!"

The flying dragon, which had narrowly escaped death, trembled its wingtips and tried to struggle.

Aunt Zhang raised the back of the knife and rubbed it against the chicken's neck several times, which made the chicken's head tremble.

"Live for two more days!"

It rained heavily.

The surface of the lake is covered with mist, and the reed leaves hang low on the shore.

Chishan stopped pacing, his iron hoofs squeezed out the muddy water under the stone slabs, and several ripples emerged along the gaps.

Liang Qu turned around and looked into the distance, but there was no sign of Yan Qingshan and others.

Their horses were not as fast as Liang Qu.

Regardless of waiting for his belated subordinates, Liang Qu entered the government office in one step.

The sky was dim, and large shadows were cast from the several-story buildings. The bluestone slabs on the ground soaked in the rain and turned into a bluish-black tile color. The entire atrium was empty.

Not many people came.

Hebosuofu Office is located in the middle of the river between Pingyang County and Yixing Town. Liangqu is close to it, so the news is known quickly, so it can be regarded as the first batch to arrive.

Climbing up the stairs to Ran Zhongshi's study, it was empty. Then he went up to the first floor and went to Xu Yuelong's study where he found a longing figure.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the entire study room, and they were very busy and busy.

Ran Zhongshi was busy drafting pages, issuing orders, and allocating supplies.

This flood was really unexpected, especially for the officials of the River and Lake Bureau who had just arrived here.

"Has the flood report been issued?"

One person raised his head and answered: "It has been issued! Both land and water, pond horses and pond boats are all set off!"

"What about the warning? Have the counties downstream been notified?"

Another person raised his head: "On the way."

"On the way? What do you mean on the way? Why did we only receive the news of the flood today?

Did all the people in the Hydrology Bureau die? No one came to warn when the warning water level reached? Ah? Are you dumb?"

Xu Yuelong was furious.

No one dared to answer, and at this moment they all became turtles.

The Qiugong Dike in Fengbu County broke, and there was no water level warning before, which was undoubtedly a major mistake!

Xu Yuelong knew that finding the problem was not the key at the moment, so he raised his head: "Liang Qu, is Liang Qu here!"

"Here!"

Liang Qu squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of Xu Yuelong.

Xu Yuelong waved his hand, and the chief clerk handed over several thick pages and two thin books.

The pages were filled with the task content, and the titles of the two books were "General Study on Building Levees" and "General Study on Protecting Levees".

"Let's see on the way east and west. I know you are good at swimming. Take your people to Huazhu County immediately!

One is to save people, the second is to find out the scope of the disaster, and the third... It's all on the pages, you can read it yourself.

I want you to rush to Huazhu County before midnight tomorrow, and meet the county magistrate of Huazhu County before the morning of the day after tomorrow. If there is any concealment, false report, or false report, I allow you to detain and detain first! Can you do it?"

Midnight tomorrow night?

Huazhu County is not adjacent to Pingyang County!

It takes a day and a half to go to Fengbu County by yourself!

But at this moment, Liang Qu can't say no.

"It can be done!"

"Okay, set off quickly!"
