Princess Consort Is No Pushover

After finishing speaking, he took over the imperial decree, got up again, and looked at Eunuch Xu, "Eunuch Xu, I'm sorry, the flood is coming, I'm afraid I can't go back to Beijing with you now. And the flood is blocking the way, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back for the time being either!"

"What? The flood is coming? Will Jiangzhou be flooded? Then what about our family, we have to return to Beijing!" Eunuch Xu said anxiously.

Chu Xuanchen sneered, "That's nothing to do. If Eunuch Xu doesn't mind, he can live with me in the magistrate's office. When the flood subsides, I will accompany you back to Beijing."

Eunuch Xu looked at the anxious officials and could only sigh, "Well, that's the only way to go now!"

"My lord, the flood is coming, and the situation is urgent, what should we do?" At this moment, Su Cheng hurried over and said to Chu Xuanchen in a panic.

At this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, followed by thunder and lightning, and strong winds.

Just hearing the rumbling thunder, the big raindrops fell down in an instant.

All of a sudden, heavy rain poured down and the wind raged. The rain came so violently that the trees in the yard were bent in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, everyone was so frightened that they had already ran into Chu Xuanchen's living room.

"Oops, my lord, it's raining heavily again now. With the flood and the heavy rain, Jiangzhou City is in danger!" Su Cheng said anxiously.

The other officials were also running around in a hurry, like ants on a hot pot.

Chu Xuanchen said calmly: "Everyone, don't be nervous. I sent people to dig the storage pond before. Now that the flood is coming and there is heavy rain, it's time to test the results. With this storage pond, I believe that Jiangzhou City will not be flooded, so you don't need to worry."

"Don't worry? Li Wang, do you really think that the ponds you dug can withstand this monstrous flood? If Jiangzhou City is flooded because of you, and the homes of the people are destroyed because of you, I will ask you for it!" At this moment, Zhang Shifan, who was wearing a military uniform and a straw hat, had already led many officials in.

These officials were all drenched in water, and as soon as they walked in, they hurriedly wiped the water stains on their bodies.

Seeing Zhang Shifan leading the officials, Chu Xuanchen knew that Zhang Shifan must have heard the news of the flood and the imperial decree, so he came to trouble him.

He said coldly: "The result hasn't come out yet, why is Mr. Zhang so impatient?"

"King Li, I have already made three complaints to the emperor before, accusing you of dereliction of duty and misbehavior. The emperor, in a rage, has issued an order to call you back to Beijing to punish you. Eunuch Xu has also brought the imperial order. If you dare to speak harshly when you are about to die, I am afraid that the day you return to Beijing will be the day of your death!" Zhang Shifan waved his hands triumphantly.

Chen Xi also stood up, and said viciously: "Yes! The emperor sent King Li to control the flood, but he took the lives of the common people as a trifle and ignored them. Now that the flood is coming, the city of Jiangzhou will be flooded soon, and the people of Jiangzhou will all be harmed by King Li!"

"That is, King Li didn't build dams to resist the flood, but instead believed in Princess Li's method and wasted manpower and financial resources to dig some ponds. Now when the flood comes, everyone will be drowned by the water. This Li Wang and his wife are a pair of evil spirits, and they are sinners of our Jiangzhou! The people of the entire Jiangzhou City will not let them go!" Some officials echoed.
