Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim
Chapter 178 Fan Cheng was captured
Captain Bai saw that Fan Cheng was slow to speak and didn't dare to step forward and arrest him, so he could only stand there anxiously.
In the game between senior leaders, the most unlucky ones are always those who are fighting on the front line.
Because even if Shi Liguo can continue to control the county government of Nanhe County, as long as Fan Cheng can get out of the prison, all of them will be in trouble.
The county magistrate is more than capable of dealing with a few constables.
And when Fancheng deals with them in the future, Shi Liguo will most likely just stand by and watch, or even add fuel to the fire.
Use this method to send a signal of reconciliation to Fancheng.
After all, he is the leader of a team, so there is no need to make things too ugly.
So when Captain Bai received this order, he once wanted to escape by self-harming.
However, Zhao Xiongwei told him that if he did not arrest Fan Cheng, he would be dismissed on the spot and his family would also be implicated.
After about a cup of tea, Fan Cheng finally relented and said, "I'll go with you, but before I go, can I arrange a few things?"
Captain Bai nodded repeatedly: "Of course, sir, if you want to arrange anything, or if you need me, please feel free to ask."
Fan Cheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I know you were forced to do this, so I don't blame you."
He immediately called his confidant and told him that he would be staying in the prison for a few days, and to report to him in the prison about anything that happened outside.
After making the arrangements, Fan Cheng followed Captain Bai to the prison cell in the county government office.
Captain Bai had already ordered someone to clean up a cell and also prepared a very sumptuous meal for Fan Cheng.
Fan Cheng asked Captain Bai to get him some books to read.
He actually doesn't like reading, but he has no other entertainment in the cell except reading.
The day after Fan Cheng was imprisoned, the police patrolling around Fuyang River discovered something unusual.
The flow of the Fuyang River suddenly increased, and the water became quite turbid, with a large number of branches and weeds floating on the surface of the river.
The patrol officers hurried to the villages.
"Quick, organize the villagers to evacuate!"
"The Great Flood is Coming!"
However, many villagers were reluctant to leave their belongings and refused to go.
The officer was so anxious that he pulled out his knife and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Whoever doesn't leave will be put in jail!"
This threat was quite effective and the villagers took action immediately.
But their actions almost made the officer fall down in anger.
These villagers didn't want to leave anything behind. They took everything with them, including their livestock, chickens, ducks, bedding, cabinets, pots and pans.
The officer was so angry that he jumped up and down: "We are fleeing, not moving!"
"Only take valuables with you, and don't take anything else!"
An old woman said, "Sir, these are our belongings. Without them, how are we going to live?"
The officer asked, "You're going to die now, carrying all these belongings with you to live in the underworld?"
"Throw it away, throw it all away!"
After saying that, he took the initiative to step forward and slammed the box in a middle-aged man's hand to the ground.
The middle-aged man dared to be angry but not to speak.
After much trouble, they finally moved these villagers to higher ground before dark.
But the flood that the officers talked about did not appear.
on the official road.
Li Xiaohu drove an ox cart, dragging his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the county town.
Zhao Chunhua was also in the car.
She had to come, otherwise the two elders would refuse to leave their home.
But along the way, the two elders also complained a lot.
"Chunhua, you said there would be a flood, why hasn't it come yet?"
"The chickens at home can lay eggs. It would be a shame to just leave them in the yard and let them be stolen."
"And those ducks, I finally managed to raise them big enough. I told you to take them with you, but you refused. In the end, they ended up being stolen."
Zhao Chunhua said angrily: "Mom, if you lose your chickens and ducks, you can buy them with money, but you only have one life."
Zhao Chunhua's father snorted coldly, "I know you've made some money doing business in the county, but so what? We're farmers, and farmers have to farm and raise poultry. That's the most practical thing."
"Can you do business forever? You can cultivate land forever."
"Also, it's easy to be cheated in business, but the land will never cheat you. As long as you cultivate it well, the land will give you rewards."
Zhao Chunhua said, "Dad, how did this get to do with farming and business again?"
"We are fleeing!"
Zhao Chunhua's father said angrily, "Escape? What the hell is that? How can it be so difficult?"
"A rain scared you like this. I think you've forgotten your status now that you have a little money."
Li Xiaohu turned around and said, "Dad, don't scold Chunhua. She is doing this for your own good."
"My brother-in-law..."
Zhao Chunhua's father snorted, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you only know a brother-in-law."
"It was you who beat him to death before, and it's still you who keeps talking about him all day long."
Li Xiaohu said with a stern face: "Dad, you can scold me, but don't scold my brother-in-law."
"He's changed. He's not the same jerk he used to be. Did you know that he took the imperial examination in Guangling Prefecture a few days ago and came in first?"
"Nanhe County hasn't had a top criminal in four or five years!"
Zhao Chunhua's father said disdainfully, "I'm just an old farmer. I don't know what a top official is. I only know that he used to beat his wife and children. He's a beast."
Li Xiaohu was so angry that he pulled the reins of the cow and prepared to stop the car to argue with his father-in-law.
At this moment, a loud bang was heard not far away!
When everyone looked back, they saw a surging flood rushing towards them like a roaring dragon.
Zhao Chunhua screamed in fright.
Li Xiaohu whipped the cow's back, and the blue cow felt pain and ran away wildly.
Although the running speed of cows is not as fast as that of horses, it is definitely not slow. However, in the face of floods, it is still not enough.
Zhao Chunhua cried and said, "Xiao Hu, are we going to die?"
Li Xiaohu said with a ferocious expression: "Don't talk nonsense, you won't die as long as I'm here!"
He quickly looked around and found a dirt slope not far away, so he hurriedly drove the ox cart over there.
After pushing the ox cart up the slope, a raging flood came rushing in!
In an instant, the land turned into ocean.
Zhao Chunhua's parents sat on the slope, at a loss.
"Old man, is our home gone?"
Zhao Chunhua's father held the old woman's hand and said, "I'm glad you're okay."
Then he said to Li Xiaohu apologetically, "Xiaohu, Dad's tone was not good just now, don't take it to heart."
"Your brother-in-law...is a good man. When I see him again, I will definitely thank him."
Zhao Chunhua said, "The most urgent thing is how to get back."
"This flood won't recede anytime soon. We're trapped here. How can we get out?"
Li Xiaohu's expression was relatively calm. He simply said, "Don't worry. I believe my brother-in-law will come to rescue us."
Meanwhile, in Hewei Village.
Zhao Xiongwei stumbled and crawled to the door of the room where Shi Liguo was resting and shouted, "Sir, there is a flood, we must escape quickly!"
A moment later, the squire's daughter-in-law opened the door and said with a blushing face, "My lord is tired and is still sleeping."
Zhao Liguo stamped his feet anxiously and quickly ordered the servants around him, "You guys, lift the master up and get to a higher place immediately."
