No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 188 Those who advocate abandoning the city can be beheaded!

"Not good, hurry up and inform the county magistrate, the upper reaches of Butterfly Creek, Peng Lang crossing to Yuenv Gorge, all eleven water steles have broken through the highest water level since the monument was erected..."

"The big thing is bad. Hurry up and find the county magistrate to dispatch people. The water level is too high. The thick wall of the second phase of Zheyi Canal is in danger. The river has already leaked into the inverted Zheyi Canal..."

"It's over, it's over! On the side of Yuenu Gorge near Yunmengze, two villages have been washed away by mudslides. When I came down, I saw that the people from the upper reaches were all fleeing to the downstream county..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The water level at the Di Gong Sluice is too high. The people who stayed behind asked us to ask you whether to stay or withdraw... Some people on duty at the sluice gate have already started to escape..."

As far as Digong gate in the south and Penglangdu in the north, urgent messages from the upstream and downstream of Butterfly Creek are rapidly gathering at the quaint county government office on Luming Street in Longcheng County.

It was like a series of shock waves, challenging the tense nerves of the county government officials, and some people were the first to lose their nerves.

Waiting for Ouyang Rong to rush into the messy hall of the county government alone.

The magistrate of Diao County, Yan Liulang, the chief officials of Liucao, the messenger of the yamen servants... all the people gathered here in the county yamen were in a panic.

Like ants on a hot pot, they all surrounded Ouyang Rong one after another.

Ouyang Rong stretched out his hand to support the clerk who was about to fall in a hurry, and turned his head, and the crowd around him were chattering at him.

Ouyang Rong only felt that the whole world around him was covered by overwhelming sound waves, and there was no gap for him to breathe.

"Ming Mansion! What should we do? The rain has stopped on our downstream side, but the heavy rain in Yunmengze on the upper reaches has not stopped for a moment. It has been falling for four days and four nights in a row! What should we do!"

"Mingfu, some rich households and country gentry in the county have heard the news and have already started to run away. The boats prepared by the rich households are crowded at Peng Langdu, and they are all dragging their families onto the boat... other common people also Panic, the county town has already started to become chaotic..."

"Mingfu, it's the same with the last flood! If the rain falls in Yunmengze in the upstream, and the water level continues to rise, once the Digong gate is washed down, the downstream will reach our county town, on both sides of Butterfly Creek, and the houses with good farmland hundreds of miles away will be destroyed again." To be flooded once!"

"Our hard work is ruined, all ruined..."

It seems that what happened in the last flood is vivid, and the shadow once again covers everyone's mind.

The county government lobby, which was still orderly in the afternoon, now looks like a boiling water pot, scorching feet.

Only when a real disaster is imminent can we deeply understand that compared with unknown natural disasters, the panic before the disaster is the terrifying wave that destroys all order.

As if infected by the emotions in the lobby, Ouyang Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and once again flashed the scene of the flooded Dragon City that he saw when he climbed out of the Pure Land Palace in the early morning and looked south from the Dagu Mountain.

That's... the city is full of mourners and blood.

At this moment, Yan Liulang came over, with a worried face, and reminded in a low voice:
"Ming Mansion, why don't we let Miss Weilai from Meiluyuan go by boat first, there are dozens of large boats you borrowed from Jiangzhou at Peng Langdu, take one..."

Being whispered by the blue-clothed policeman, the young county magistrate paused.

"What made Meiluyuan go first?"

Ouyang Rong, who was silent, suddenly asked loudly.

The sound resounded throughout the audience, and there was a pause in the surrounding noises.

"Just say it again, I didn't hear clearly, what do you mean by letting the family members of the official in Meiluyuan go by boat?!"

Ouyang Rong questioned again in front of the audience.

The lobby was completely silent. Some people felt that the sound of rain and thunder that bombarded the eardrums outside the lobby seemed to be much quieter.

All the officials in the county government looked sideways.

Yan Liulang stayed where he was, staring blankly at Ouyang Rong who was looking straight ahead without turning his head to look at him, but the words seemed to be scolding him alone.

It's just that he accidentally touched Ni Lin, and under countless gazes, the blue-clothed policeman blushed quickly, wanting to defend himself.

But immediately, Ouyang Rong's decisive words interrupted him:

"My family members in Meiluyuan will not leave by boat!

"The dozens of official ships at Penglangdu Wharf will not move! I said it before, but you didn't seem to hear it, but it doesn't matter if I repeat it again."

He does not squint:
"These official ships borrowed from Jiangzhou are for disaster relief and flood control, not for this official or anyone else to escape!"

Yan Liulang was stunned, vaguely aware that the words of the young county magistrate did not seem to be addressed to him alone.

All the eyes in the lobby gathered silently, and the officials who were running around in a panic and wanted to slip back home also stopped quietly.

Ouyang Rong took a deep breath, looked around the audience, raised his right palm, and slashed the air:
"Including this official, those who use public equipment for private use, and who advocate abandoning the city, can be killed!"

The atmosphere of the audience froze.

Ouyang Rong suddenly retracted his expression, sneered with disdain on his face, and waved his sleeves violently:
"And why run? No need to run!

"There are the officials here, there are all the officials in the county government, there are all the officials and people in Longcheng County, Zhayiqu is there, and there are so many years of hard work.

"The Digong Gate will not collapse, and the flood will not flood Dragon City again!

"Fleeing in a hurry and ignorantly, ignoring the colleagues who are at the forefront of the Digong Gate at the moment, handing your back to the flood, and sticking your head in the mud, is ridiculous, it is a joke in the world! It is a hundred years from now. A coward who is recorded in the county annals of Longcheng and ridiculed by the people of the hundred generations!"

Ouyang Rong grabbed the Longcheng county annals that had been on display for a long time on the public case table with his big hands, raised them towards the crowd, swung them around, and smashed them hard on the ground.

He brushed away the stunned or bowed crowd in front of him with one hand, strode ahead, and walked out of the county government lobby:
"Let's go to the Digong gate! Those who are not shameful and cowardly, follow me!"

The young county magistrate took the lead in rushing into the pitch black rain.

In the lobby behind, there was a moment of silence. Some people rushed forward with enthusiasm, some followed in a daze, and some hesitated. They hesitated for a moment, then dragged their feet to catch up with the large army outside...

The entire Longcheng county government office was quickly gathered around the figure of a young county magistrate who acted vigorously.

Thunder bursts in the sky.

Like the roar of a wild beast, and like the wrath of a god.

After half an hour.

Peng Langdu.

Huge figures.

In the drizzle, countless torches illuminate the pier brightly.

It was more lively than usual during the day.

Not long ago, under the quick-response command of a young county magistrate, the county government officers seized the pier in an emergency.

Dozens of official ships previously borrowed from Jiangzhou, as well as temporarily requisitioned civilian ships, were gathered together, and under the dispatch of Liu Ashan, who is good at water affairs, and other young people from the original disaster relief camp, they were ready to go.

Everyone went step by step and boarded the boat one after another to complete the task. Taking advantage of the calm water waves and the water level not being too outrageous to affect normal navigation, they quickly left the ferry and were transferred to various places in Longcheng County by the young county magistrate. The number of ships going to the Digong Gate of Yuenv Gorge is the largest among them.

At this moment, the boarding port of a large ship that was going to the Digong Lock was illuminated by several torches.

"Mingfu, I will help you."

Yan Liulang took the umbrella, took a few steps forward actively, supported Ouyang Rong, and boarded the boat with his hands.

Ouyang Rong glanced at him, and boarded the ship in silence.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Liulang also boarded the boat nimbly, but was stopped by a big hand soon after.

Liu Ashan pulled Yan Liulang to a secluded place at the stern.

Like the busy people on the boat, Ouyang Rong was also dressed in coir raincoats.
At this time, he stood alone at the stern with his hands behind his back, waiting for the drizzle above his head.

In the sky as the background, silver and white electric snakes crawled all over the corner of the night.

"Mingfu?"

"You stay here."

Ouyang Rong didn't answer.

"How can you not go to the humble job!"

"Both you and the Prime Minister of Diao County stay in the county. Over the Digong Sluice, I and Ashan can go. If the sluice collapses, I will not miss you..." He whispered: "Besides, you have other important things to do."

"The sluice has collapsed? Didn't Ming Fu say..." Yan Liulang paused, and said in a daze, "Wh... what's important."

"I'm not here, these two days will maintain law and order in the county and prevent the Liu family from...

"In addition, regardless of the rich families who ran away, the remaining women, children, old and young, including the family members of every colleague in the county government, and all the people who are still in the county... You and your squad of arresters will gather them all Get up and take it to Dagu Mountain."

"Great Gushan?"

"That's right, I have already sent Diao Xiancheng to make arrangements to move the relief camps that have not been disbanded on the outskirts of the city to the mountains, where the terrain is high and suitable for the people of the county to take refuge in times of floods.

"Over Donglin Temple, my official has already said hello. You can just take the people up there. If you can't live there, you can live in the temple. Six thousand households of Longcheng people can fit in a big lonely mountain. Try not to miss anyone. .

"As soon as our boat leaves, you should immediately mobilize everyone. The water is rising too fast. If the water rises at the current speed, it may be too late after another day.

"Be sure to bring all the people in the county to Dagu Mountain and resettle them. It is the arrangement of the county government, the order of the official, and the order of the imperial court!

"Pots, bowls, pans, gold, silver, and jewelry are treasures down the mountain. If you can't take them away, don't take them by force. If you lose land, you will lose it. If you lose it, you will lose it.

"I still remember what I told you that day, the big deal is to start all over again. Even if the flood floods Dragon City, there will always be a day when the tide ebbs. You can just build it later..."

The young county magistrate gave detailed instructions.

Liu Ashan turned his head silently, looking at the shadow of coir raincoat at the bow that was occasionally illuminated for a moment by the snow-white electric snake in the sky.

Yan Liulang, who was about to take the order, heard the strange word "you", his eyelids jumped, and the more he heard it, the more it sounded like some kind of explanation.

Yan Liulang wanted to intervene, but Ouyang Rong didn't give him a chance and kept nagging the whole time.

It wasn't until the boat was about to start that Liu Ashan coughed lightly to remind him, then he stopped, and waved his hands backward without turning his head:
"Let's get off the boat. Here, I'll leave it to Rokuro."

Yan Liulang couldn't help saying:

"Mingfu, didn't you just say at the county government office that the Digong Gate will not collapse, we can hold it, why do you ask your subordinates to call everyone up the mountain to take refuge now..."

Yan Liulang's speech faltered.

In fact, there is not much rain tonight in Longcheng County, which is in the lower reaches. There are sparse slanting wind and drizzle, and the wind and waves on the Butterfly Creek are not heavy, and it is quite calm.

However, everyone on the court knew that the heavy rain around Yunmeng Lake in the upper reaches was the culprit. Along with the rising water, a certain flood was brewing in this calmness. It only depends on the ability of the newly built Digong Gate. No hold on.

At this moment, the stern of the ship under the drizzle also fell into a strange silence.

Ouyang Rong, who was wearing a coir raincoat to keep out the rain, turned his head.

On the dark face under the straw hat, a pair of quiet eyes made Yan Liulang stop talking.

Already understood.

"Here."

The blue-clothed policeman quickly lowered his head and slowly cupped his fists.

It seemed that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, Ouyang Rong suddenly smiled:

"What are you thinking? With my official here, the gate will not collapse. This arrangement is just in case, you just do your own thing well. When the official comes back, on a sunny day, Yunshui Pavilion drinks tea and walks away. "

Yan Liulang, ah, mouth, I want to say that the health tea business of Yunshui Pavilion was ordered to be rectified by you in Mingfu, is it possible that you ordered it to be changed back?
But right now, he still didn't say it.

"Mingfu take care."

Yan Liulang whispered something, and finally got off the boat without looking back.

After sending the people away, Ouyang Rong let out a long breath, and finally looked back at the familiar Longcheng County in the night, turned to face the upper reaches of Butterfly Creek, and waved orders.

After a while, official ships sailed out of Penglang Ferry.

On Butterfly Creek, the wind and waves are getting higher and higher.

Ouyang Rong and others rushed upstream overnight.

Along the way, they could see from time to time on both sides of the Butterfly Creek, villagers who abandoned their houses and fled to Longcheng County.

Once a big flood comes, the closer to the upper reaches of the Yuenv Gorge, the more dangerous it is. The current signs of flooding naturally make the people in the subordinate villages of Longcheng County near the Yuenv Gorge worried and leave their homes one after another.

On the way to Digong Gate, Ouyang Rong was not idle, and dispatched county government officials to both sides of Butterfly Creek to organize the refugees to go to Longcheng County in an orderly manner.

According to the instructions he left behind, in Longcheng County, Yan Liulang and the others should be trying their best to organize the people of Longcheng to go to the refuge camp preset in Dagu Mountain.

The cold wind was blowing against him, and when he thought of the layout of Longcheng County in the rear, the little junior sister far away in the sky, and the familiar maids such as Ye Weilai who should have been transferred up the mountain by Liu Lang in time, Ouyang Rong felt a little relieved, and his eyes became firm.

However, as the ship got closer and closer to the Digong lock.

Not only did they expect more rain and stronger wind and waves.

Ouyang Rong and others also discovered that the water in the river had become turbid.

Between the mountains on both sides of the bank, there are fleeing wild animals.

From time to time, there were one or two loud noises different from thunder from the upper reaches, like a mudslide pouring for miles.

Ouyang Rong's eyes were in a trance for a moment.

He clearly recalled that day when he first arrived at the Pure Earth Palace, when he tried to climb up to the entrance of the cave, there was a loud thunderous sound outside the underground palace.

It should be the sound of Di Gong's old gate being washed down overnight.

So, is it coming again?
Fortunately, this time it seemed that there was no Liu family's mischief to blow up the brakes. Ouyang Rong and others trembled in fear for half the night, but there was no sound of the gates collapsing like the thunder of destroying the world.

In the end, before the third watch, a huge sluice covered by dark clouds slowly appeared in the sight of everyone on board.

Before he breathed a sigh of relief, he looked from a distance, behind the Digong gate, over the vast Yunmengze of nine hundred miles, there were thick dark clouds as black as ink.

Press on Di Gong's brake head.

In contrast, the Digong Gate is like a narrow thin wooden board inserted at the only outlet of a pond.

Four leaks.

crumbling.

　As expected of me, Xiao Rong who didn't ask for leave from 520521!
