"How could that be? No one notified everyone to evacuate, but the information was wrong?"

You have to know that there are tens of thousands of people living downstream of Lin'an City. This is blatant murder.

How dare they...

How dare you...

Song Yanzhi found it unbelievable. She couldn't believe that the world was so dark.

"See for yourself."

Han Heming handed the letter to Song Yanzhi. Seeing Xie Lezhan's familiar handwriting and his analysis, Song Yanzhi finally accepted the fact.

"Go and inform the village chief, and send some servants out to inform the nearby villages."

June 12th, tonight.

If Lin'an City really releases floodwaters tonight, then only one in ten people living downstream will survive.

They had to notify as many people as possible to evacuate.

"Uncle Wang, go tell the servants to pack up, we're moving."

"Madam, but are we moving to the mountains?"

Four years ago, as the number of tenants in the family increased, more and more land was reclaimed on the mountain.

Song Yanzhi built many houses on the mountain. In addition to some houses for tenants to live in, there was another house reserved for the owner to live in.

On weekdays, when Han Heming took the children to the mountains to hunt, sometimes when it was too late, they would stay in the mountains.

"No, let's go to Lin'an City."

The rain has been falling for a long time, and no one knows how long it will last. If Lin'an City releases floodwaters, their Lizao Village will definitely become a vast ocean.

If they went to the mountains, they would surely starve to death when their food and water ran out. It would be better for them to go directly to Lin'an City.

In Lin'an City, they bought a house five years ago, but they had never lived in it for all these years. Now it was time to move in.

"Okay, I'll tell someone to prepare it right away."

The Han family's courtyard suddenly became busy, with people packing things, loading carts, and driving horses. Soon, the family's hundred or so carriages were full.

All the carriages were covered with several layers of black oilcloth.

The children at home also got the news and came to ask Song Yanzhi.

"Mom, why are we moving so suddenly?"

Da Wa brought his brothers into Song Yanzhi's room. They were studying in the study when they heard the servants say that they were going to move, but they didn't know why.

"Lin'an City needs to release floodwaters."

Song Yanzhi packed up the last few things in the room and turned to look at the children. As expected, she saw their shock.

"Did the county government notify everyone to evacuate?"

After being shocked, Ajiu looked at Song Yanzhi.

He suddenly realized that his guess was correct. How could the evacuation notice come from the county government?

If the county government wants to release flood water and evacuate, it will definitely not be possible in a short time.

They wanted to evacuate people. There were tens of thousands of people living downstream of Lin'an City, and the county government had to provide them with houses and food to settle them down.

It is raining so heavily now, and refugees are running rampant everywhere. No one is in Dujiang to take care of them, so how can the county government possibly take care of so many people?

Then this news must have been heard by my parents themselves. If this news is true, then the people living downstream of Lin'an City...

Ajiu didn't dare to think anymore. He clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.

Yang Ge was also very angry. He had been busy outside all day, leading people to repair dams and clear rivers. He was busy all day and had not even had a hot meal when a servant brought him a secret letter.

flood discharge?

I *you**

Yang Ge cursed in his heart.

Since he took over the post of Lin'an County Magistrate, he has been fulfilling his duties conscientiously and doing everything personally, just wanting to be a good official serving the people. But now he is being manipulated by his superiors and is causing harm to the people under his rule.

He was so angry that he threw the official hat on his head to the ground. He decided not to wear this black hat.

After a while, he stood up and walked out of the room, instructing his men to release the flood in three days.

The flood must be released, and the people must be evacuated if necessary.

Xie Lezhan sat on the second floor of Song's Restaurant and didn't move. He drank tea and watched the raindrops falling outside the window. No one knew what he was thinking.

As it was getting dark, there was another knock on the door.

"come in."

His voice was somewhat hollow and difficult to hear clearly. His face was facing the window, and the servant could not see his expression and could not guess what Xie Lezhan was thinking.

"Master Zhan, there are letters from the boss and the county government."

The servant handed the two letters to Xie Lezhan together.

The first thing Xie Lezhan opened was the letter Song Yanzhi sent him. There were only a few simple words on the letter.

"Vacate all the rooms in the restaurants and inns under your name in the county."

His brows moved, and he understood Song Yanzhi's intention.

He then opened the letter handed to him by the county government, which was written by Yang Ge himself.

The meaning of the above is very simple.

I just want to ask if I can borrow the rooms in the restaurant and inn under the name of Songji to accommodate the people.

He also told Yang Zhanle that Lin'an City was ready to release floodwaters at any time.

Seeing that Yang Ge was not like those people above who ignored the lives of ordinary people, Yang Lezhan's brow, which had been furrowed all day, relaxed a lot.

"Go, inform everyone to vacate all the vacant rooms in the restaurants and inns we own in Lin'an City, as well as all the unused warehouses and utility rooms.

There are not many inns and restaurants under the name of Song Ji, only three selling different kinds of food. They cannot accommodate many people if they want to accommodate the people in the middle and lower reaches, but they will accommodate as many as they can. They cannot just watch the lives of the people being abandoned.

"Yes"

The Han family needed a total of eighty carriages to fit all their belongings.

His family had a total of about a hundred carriages, and the Han family lent the remaining twenty carriages to the tenants to load their belongings.

In recent years, every household in Lizao Village has become wealthy. Almost every household has a cart to transport goods. If they don't have a horse-drawn cart, ox-drawn or donkey-drawn carts are a must.

When everyone heard from the village chief that the flood was going to be released, they hurriedly packed up their belongings. They didn't know where to go.

Seeing the Han family's long carriage, many families who had packed up their belongings followed behind the Han family's carriage.

The Han family is a wealthy family, and they must have received the news early on. The place they went to would definitely not be flooded.

The farmers have little knowledge and simple ideas. They just think that people who are more capable than themselves have more connections than them, so they just follow them.

The already long line became even longer when the villagers followed it. People from other villages, seeing such a long line, all started asking what was going on.

When people heard this, the whole place went crazy, and now everyone knew the news.

When Yang Ge sent yamen runners to the village to notify people to move, many families packed up their things and followed them into Lin'an City.

At one time, a lot of people gathered in Lin'an City.

I have to say that Yang Ge was a really good official. He coordinated with the restaurants and inns in Lin'an City to settle the people entering the city.

There is no distinction between family members living together.

Only men and women were divided, and everyone carried their own bedding rolls to make a bed, and they also joined forces with the rich families in the county to set up many porridge stalls.
