boss take me to death

Chapter 22 Power Minister 4

For the next few days, nothing happened.

Probably the other party found out that the matter was brought to light, and they have raised their vigilance.

The group arrived at their destination smoothly.

Seeing the actual situation on the ground, Zhong Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It is true that the damage is not serious, except for the crops, most of the people are fine.

The dams that broke upstream have also been temporarily blocked. When the weather is better, new places will be built.

The local officials knew that they had failed in their duties, and they were extra careful when they did things again.

When he came last time, Zhong Ming had already mastered the officials here.These officials are also familiar with what kind of person he is.

Listening to this familiarity, it is very smooth to cooperate.

The second prince was injured, so he could only rest temporarily.

As if in order not to appear useless, he offered to arraign the corrupt petty officials himself.

It's rare for him to be a little self-motivated.

The money for the earthquake disaster arrived, and all the food brought in by this batch was distributed.

The livelihood issues of the people were almost resolved, and Zhong Ming was rarely relaxed.

For the rest, wait for Qi Dongyun's leg to recover, and go with him to appease the victims.

He walks along the embankment every day.

On the one hand, it is to check whether there are any omissions.

On the one hand, it is recalling the past.

When he walked on the embankment a few years ago, the water hadn't completely receded, because too many people had died, and the mouth of the river that had broken the embankment hadn't had time to make up.

The farmland was completely submerged, and the houses where people lived were also washed away. The displaced people could hardly cry, and there was no hope in their eyes.

The living can't make it through, let alone some of the dead.

There are still family members who are still alive, reluctantly burying their dead relatives on the spot, with numb expressions; those whose entire families were killed by this disaster, their bodies just float in the water and lie on the ground.

Those who barely survived, because of hunger and plague, you can't tell whether you are lucky or tortured to be alive.

It was still raining heavily.

Zhong Ming didn't open an umbrella and walked on the embankment step by step.

The rain poured down from the top of his head and flowed down his cheeks into his clothes.

The cold rain soaked the clothes, and the cold feeling remained in my heart.

The numb expression on his face was exactly the same as those of the disaster victims.

He has seen too many dead people these days, several times more than what he has seen in the past so many years.

Such heart-wrenching feelings can only be felt when the Zhong family is destroyed.

The Zhong family still has their own revenge, but what about the displaced, those who lost their loved ones, and those whose entire family died?

Who can ask the heavens for responsibility?

Fortunately, it is a completely different scene now.

Because the opening of the embankment was not big, it was blocked in time.

Now except for the water in the river, which is still rising, the water in other places has receded.There are even some crops in the farmland that are tenaciously alive, stepping on the silted sand, growing gratifyingly and flourishing.

Like a person born in blood.

The house still has the watermark of being submerged in water, and the scale is obvious from a distance, but it is still standing firmly, and it is still a home that shelters from wind and rain.

Because the loss of personnel was not large, the officials took the lead in inspecting the river embankment at this moment; the officials were busy reinforcing the dangerous area;

A thriving scene.

The night before yesterday, he received a message from the spies.

It was indeed Qi Yanling.

He didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, and his actions have become more and more serious these days.

He wants to be in that position.

When he just heard the news, Zhong Ming was still a little depressed.

He didn't care whether Qi Yanling wanted those powers or not, he just felt that he didn't understand the child he raised.

Being a teacher, being a leader, some dereliction of duty.

Looking at these thriving scenes now, I feel a lot more relaxed.

May I ask whether you live in the field or are ambitious, as long as it is his choice, and he wants that seat, he will push him up.

He's just happy.

He told his cronies to let Qi Yanling take everything that Qi Yanling could use in the capital.

After a few more days, Qi Dongyun's legs got better.

After negotiation, we arranged a suitable date.

Let him comfort and comfort these dawn people.

The royal family has always been the belief of the common people. They always feel that those who have the blood of the royal family have the blood of the dragon.

Stand high like a god.

Qi Dongyun has made a lot of progress these days, he hasn't made any mistakes, and he seems to have gained some confidence in the face of Zhong Ming.

He is not suitable to be an emperor, Zhong Ming knows it.

At the beginning, Zhong Ming sincerely raised him as a future emperor.

But he is not suitable.

Perhaps it was because the queen had never been kind to him since he was a child, and he developed such a cowardly character.

Maybe he was just not born for it.

Not suitable for high positions, not suitable for making independent decisions.

"But after Qi Yanling is done, let him be an idle prince." Zhong Ming thought.

The grievances of the previous generation should not involve him.

He thought so, but he didn't know, what is the second prince who suddenly became better, what are you doing these days?

"That place is a hydrological station," Zhong Ming told him impatiently last time, "mainly to observe the main channels of the river."

"Yeah." He looked at Zhong Ming with a little nostalgia in his eyes.

In fact, he rarely felt such tenderness.

"Every year from the beginning of June to the end of August is the rising water month." He did not answer, and Zhong Ming continued: "During this period, officials should pay special attention to the river."

"The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Housing should also work together to carry out flood control measures and reinforcement of river embankments."

"Ah."

It seemed that something was wrong with him, and Zhong Ming didn't seem to notice.

At this time, a dog suddenly ran up to them.

"This is a dog specially used for reporting." He bent down and stroked the dog gently. "It has been specially trained, and it is very smart."

"Yeah." He hesitated for a while, but still said it.

"Teacher, I feel some pain in the wound."

The injury on her leg is not fully healed yet, Zhong Ming doesn't make things difficult for him.

"It's almost done, go back and rest."

"I'll walk on my own."

After speaking, he said to the accompanying officials.

"You all go back too, thanks for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, Mr. Zhong is working hard these days, and he dare not take credit for it." They replied one after another.

Zhong Ming seldom entangled with them.

The officials also quickly dispersed.

He walked aimlessly along the river bank.

As if waiting for something.

After a while, a person came and whispered in his ear, saying something.

He showed a disappointed expression.

"Bring him here," he said, "quietly, without disturbing others."

Soon someone brought Qi Dongyun over.

Like a cat with its tail trampled on.

It was an expression that the plan was exposed and felt irreversible.

It is somewhat self-aware.

Zhong Ming's tone of voice was still as gentle as before, but there was some usual sarcasm in the gentleness.

"This place you're standing on, this land."

He took a deep breath and continued, "It's full of dead bodies down there."

"You should see a scene like that."

"At first, the living couldn't be saved, and they didn't have the ability to manage these corpses."

"White on the surface of the water, smelly, flow down the river, and rush to nowhere."

"They were stuck with sand, more and more, heavier and heavier, and gradually sank into the water, and the sand was piled up layer by layer."

"When there is a little more energy left, these corpses will never be dug out again."

"I can only make a home in it, and I can only hope that they rest in peace."

Hearing this, Qi Dongyun covered his face and knelt down, not knowing whether he was afraid or crying.

It's embarrassing to look like this, but he's not afraid, he's been embarrassing a lot.

Zhong Ming looked at him for a while, then continued.

"There is an old lady who is over eighty years old, so it is reasonable to say that she has a long life."

"I see her every time I come."

"Single pass."

"His son is filial. When the water came, he rescued her first, and then turned back to save others."

"In the end, except for her, her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and grandson-in-law all drowned in the water."

"The corpse couldn't be retrieved, and then it was pressed to the bottom of the river by sand. I walked around every day, but I couldn't actually see anything."

At this point, Zhong Ming seemed to be at a loss for words.

Looking down at a piece of land by the river bank, he continued.

"But fortunately, I got the plague, and my health was not good when I was old. After a few days, I didn't get over it."

"I buried her in the ground." He pointed to a place. "It's close, so it's a thought."

Zhong Ming pointed to another place.

But after opening his mouth several times, nothing came out.

There are so many stories in this place, where is the end?

"Let's go back."

Saying that, he left without caring that Qi Dongyun was still squatting in the mud.

He covered his face and kept trembling.

When the matter was revealed, he actually wanted to explain.

"Because of being assassinated on the way, he really thought that Zhong Ming wanted to get rid of him."

"It's too scary, so I want to act first."

"I didn't even think about it at first, those little officials kept encouraging him."

"Tell him, it's all arranged, just let them out secretly and collude with the information."

"I can't do anything about it myself, I'm cowardly and scared, and I can never make a decision by myself."

"So promise them."

"When patrolling along the river, go first by yourself, and the person who arranges will blow up the blocked gap."

"Zhong Ming, walk around the river bank several times a day. As long as he drowns, no one will be held accountable."

How can these words be explained?

Just like these things, how could humans do them?

Today they came out to appease the people, except for Zhong Ming and the officials, the two sides of the strait were full of people lining the road to welcome them.

If it really breaks the embankment.

I will probably see the scene that Zhong Ming described.

He cried drowsily for a long time, as if he had decided on something, he stood up and staggered back.

When he returned to the post station, Zhong Ming was dealing with those small officials who suggested ideas.

They made up their minds on the materials for embankment, and when who would speak up, some people died.

There was no doubt that he would die.

They were afraid of death, and the three cobblers came up with such a terrible idea together.

"I could have given you a good time."

The person who rang the bell found several large water tanks, tied the person and pushed him into the water.

"However, you should also taste the taste of not being able to breathe in the water."

"I specially ordered someone to fetch water mixed with sand from the river."

The water in the tank was already full, but when people were pushed in, it overflowed.

After closing the lid, they were completely submerged in the water, thrashing, struggling, unable to breathe.

That feeling of suffocation is unbearable.The chest cavity swelled, the body temperature rose, and there was a buzzing sound in the brain.I can't help but want to take a breath, but when I open my mouth, a big mouthful of water mixed with mud and sand rushes into my lungs, which is hot and painful.

When the struggle became weaker, the lid was lifted again.

Because of the struggle, her long hair was disheveled and her clothes were no longer neat.Without the well-dressed, human-faced animal-like scene when the crowd was watching, it was more like water ghosts getting up one by one.

When they get up and take a few breaths, they feel that they still have hope.

Press it back into the water.

When the lid is lifted, they don't want to struggle anymore.

Let them completely drown in the water.

"My lord, my lord!"

A messenger came stumbling in.

"There is an urgent report!"

"Your Majesty, you are dead!"

The author has something to say: In fact, floods are really terrible. The place where I grew up has floods every year.

But it won't flood the place where we live, but every year someone will send it, because he knows that the water is too big to cross the river, so he will go.

Then a big wave came over and the death rate was 100%

If the water does not disappear, no one dares to fish it, and it will turn white and stink, and his family will not be able to cry when they see him.I've seen it several times, and it's hard to describe the impact of that scene.

This is still relatively lucky. If you are unlucky, you will really be suppressed by the sand and you will not be able to find it.

Then my family's corn field is flooded every year, and it is flooded every year.If the water is not particularly turbulent, even if it is submerged and lifted up, it can survive, and it is very tenacious.

If the current is particularly turbulent, it will wash away the land along with it.

Let me talk about a more silly thing.

That is, when I was describing the feeling of being drowned, I didn't know how to write it, and I didn't want to read other people's.

Because my home is next to the river, swimming is a survival skill. I remember that I never choked on the water when I was swimming in middle school.In order to write more realistically, it was also on a whim, so I went to fetch a basin of water, and then put my head...

The degree of reduction is not enough, but it can only be said not to try it lightly.
