Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 274 Fear

Although Fusu wanted to lower Lord Zhou's guard, he did not want to ruin the disaster relief effort.

According to the data we have compiled, many people have suffered from the snow disaster, which is extremely dangerous.

Without firewood to warm themselves, many people might die unknowingly in their sleep due to the low temperature.

Every family member is extremely important, and if someone dies because of the low temperature, it would make people think that Fusu was incompetent.

He brought so many supplies, including enough heating supplies to ensure that no one would die here.

If so, it must be because someone failed to handle things properly, and Fusu, as the superior official, would naturally be held responsible.

Lord Zhou was very happy that Heaven was willing to entrust the work to him and others. The pressure of the past few days seemed to be cleared away instantly, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Fusu didn't assign any tasks, the longer this went on, the more outrageous the rumors became, with some even saying that the court was going to clean up the bureaucracy.

That's why the Crown Prince was sent here, to investigate first. If the situation is serious, then a strong crackdown will be necessary, and those officials will have a hard time.

For a moment, everyone was terrified, including Lord Zhou.

Although he was just a minor county magistrate, his family was based here and wielded considerable influence. If something went wrong here, his family would definitely be implicated.

The current First Emperor is ruthless and will not easily believe their words.

Fusu naturally knew what Zhou Daoren was thinking, but he wouldn't indulge him.

So he just stared at Lord Zhou, trembling in front of him.

Lord Zhou did not think there was anything wrong with Fusu treating him this way.

Fusu was the Crown Prince, while he himself was merely a county magistrate.

Unable to receive reassurance from Fusu, Lord Zhou had no choice but to convince himself.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked up at Fusu.

What one sees is only one face: an expressionless, gentle and refined successor to the dynasty.

Even though Fusu acted very gently, as if he had no temper, Lord Zhou would not think so.

This is just appearances. If Fusu were truly a gentle and harmless person, he would not have chosen the position of Crown Prince.

With this in mind, Lord Zhou became even more respectful in his words and actions.

He repeatedly said, "It is our honor that you can order us to work, young master. It is normal that you forgot for a moment. There are quite a few people affected by the disaster, and the area affected is quite wide. In addition, the university is blocking the way."

"With so many people affected by the disaster, there is a lot more for you to do, young master. But right now, the roads haven't been cleared, and it's even difficult for our supplies to reach those affected. It's understandable that you're anxious."

"It's not that you're incompetent, young master; it's just that the weather is terrible. This snow is so heavy; it's a once-in-a-century event. If this were in the past, many people would probably have died in the city, and no one would have cared."

As Lord Zhou became increasingly respectful to Fusu, he naturally sought to flatter him and gain Fusu's favor.

There was nothing they could do; they were just minor local nobles who had never had the opportunity to come into contact with the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, but now they had that opportunity.

Although these are turbulent times, and the arrival of the imperial court officials is somewhat abrupt and may even pose a threat to them, isn't this also an opportunity? As long as they can catch the Crown Prince's eye.
