Princess Consort Is No Pushover

The common people were scolding Chu Xuanchen angrily while collecting their things and walking with Zhang Shifan's men.

Their people were full of grievances, and they complained about Chu Xuanchen. Whenever Chu Xuanchen was mentioned, people and gods were all angry, and they wished to pull him down.

Chu Xuanchen's reputation accumulated through disaster relief was ruined overnight and overturned in an instant.

Soon, Zhang Shifan sent people to transfer the people from the east of the city to the north of the city, and the people were tossed all night.

They braved the heavy rain, took their wives, children, old and young children, and carried their bags. They were led by Zhang Shifan's people and moved their family to the high-lying north of the city. They were really exhausted.

After Chen Xi saw that most of the common people had been relocated, he hurried up to Zhang Shifan and said flatteringly, "It's great, the common people in the east of the city have all been relocated, and they won't be submerged in the flood. Mr. Zhang loves the people so much, he is not afraid of danger, and he is a good leader. The next official is willing to write a memorial to show Mr. Zhang's achievements to the emperor."

Zhang Shifan rubbed the stubble on his chin, looked at all the officials, and said, "Where is it, this is not the credit of this official alone, it is the credit of all of you. Don't worry, everyone, this time we succeeded in saving the people, and this official will also play to the emperor to add your credit."

Chen Xidao, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be humble. Your Excellency is loyal to the imperial court and responsible to the people. He is willing to deploy troops to resettle the people. Unlike King Li, who does not treat the people as human beings. Master Zhang led us to save the people tonight. He really loves the country and the people, and tried his best to turn the tide. After this incident, the people must love you very much, and they will also see the true face of King Li. At the same time, if the emperor knows about your achievements, you will definitely give him an official title, and you will have a better future." Cheng."

Someone next to him flattered and said, "Your Excellency is already a governor of the first rank. If you are promoted again, you can only be promoted to a noble. Maybe the emperor will give you a different surname Wang Dangdang, and then you will be able to sit on an equal footing with Chu Xuanchen? Let's see if Chu Xuanchen dares to be arrogant in front of Your Excellency!"

"Yes, maybe Chu Xuanchen will have been convicted by then, and he will not be our lord's opponent."

Hearing these words, Zhang Shifan snatched his beard a little proudly.

He said complacently, "Chu Xuanchen is seeking his own death. He will not end well if he acts like this. I only do these things for the sake of the common people, not to increase my rank. But if I can get the emperor's reward, I will not forget you, everyone is my own!"

"Then I'll wait here, congratulations in advance for your promotion!" Chen Xi said.

Hearing these people's compliments, Zhang Shifan was very excited, as if he had already been promoted to a noble rank and was rewarded by the emperor.

On the other side, ten groups of spies had already entered and told Chu Xuanchen the news they had found.

Through the spies' reports, Chu Xuanchen knew that the flood had come, but it did not submerge Jiangzhou.

All the flood water from the upper reaches of the Jiajiang River flowed into the storage ponds. Even the torrential rain accumulated in the pond, and Jiangzhou City was not flooded at all, as usual.

He was not sure at first, so he sent Mo Li to check it out himself.

After checking in the rain, Mo Li came back and told him happily, "My lord, my concubine really knew things well. After the flood hit, it didn't flow into Jiangzhou City at all, and all of it diverted into the pond. It's still raining heavily, and the flood is also surging, but because there are too many ponds, those ponds have not been filled at all. At the same time, my subordinates have sent people to slowly open the gates to release the floodwater, and the floodwater in the pond is slowly released to the downstream, so that the floodwater can flow into the sea slowly. Now that the flood water is gradually decreasing, I am afraid that by tomorrow morning, the water flow of the Jiajiang River will return to normal. In this case, even if there is another ten days of heavy rain and another flood, Jiangzhou will not be flooded, and nothing will happen."
