boss take me to death

There are continuous torrential rains in summer.

Floods frequently occur in the south.

When Zhong Ming was 16 years old, he was caught up in a major flood.

At that time, not long after he took office as Yushi, it was time for merit.

When he went to Jiangnan, his original intention was to contain the forces in that area; but when he really got there, everything he did was for the people of Li who were struggling on the verge of death.

Immediately after returning to the court, he began to compile the "Flood Control Order", requiring the establishment of water supervisors along the river, the river supervisors and other officials to negotiate and solve emergency problems, set up a "water report" to report to the imperial court in case of floods, and install a water stele to observe the water level .

Officials were even specially set up to observe and analyze the state of the river.

He really didn't want to see the scene of white corpses floating in the water, but there was no effort to salvage them, starving and dying all over the place.

Too many people died, and the corpses could not be disposed of in time, so another plague broke out.

Those bleak years were deeply imprinted in Zhong Ming's heart forever.

So after returning, the new decree was compiled vigorously, and the emperor passed it immediately without any objection.

For the next few years, there were no major problems.

Zhong Ming was sitting in the rickety carriage. The continuous heavy rain in the past few days made the road very muddy, making it difficult for the team to move forward.

The sky was very gloomy, and lasted until the evening at most, and there was another heavy rain.So even though the walking was difficult, I didn't dare to rest at all, and planned to rush to the next site before the rain fell.

This flood, in fact, is not a serious problem.

Mainly in the upstream part, several petty officials conspired to embezzle silver and build low-quality embankments.

This year, there has been a lot of rain. After the heavy rain, the river burst its embankment and flooded most of the farmland.

However, due to the good flood control work, the people took refuge in time.Not many people died.

Those small officials were fired immediately, and the rescue work was almost done.

The main reason is that the weather has been good in recent years, and such a flood suddenly occurred, which needs to appease the hearts of the people.

It is also necessary to transfer some disaster money and food to maintain the livelihood of the victims.

Originally, it is not impossible to entrust this kind of work to the second prince. Even if he does not know anything, the accompanying officials and relevant local departments will handle the matter well.

Simply put, he is also a mascot.

But the scene in Zhong Ming's impression was too miserable, and he really didn't dare to be careless, for fear that the local officials would not dare to report the disaster truthfully because they were afraid of punishment.

He has to come and see.

Just thinking about these messy things, another voice of notification came from outside.

"My lord, the rain has already started to fall, and there is still about twenty miles to the next stop, do you think?"

Originally, I planned to rush there in one go, but I didn't expect the rain to come so fast.

"Send an order to find an open place to camp."

Fortunately, we have prepared early, and the tent and rainproof cloth are enough.

There is a suitable place not far ahead, with woods on one side and flat land on the other.The forest is lush and lush, and the mountain is solid, so there is no need to worry about landslides.There is a flat ground next to it, so you don’t have to hide in the woods to worry about lightning and electric shock.

After the procession stopped, most of the entourage went to camp.

Sensing that the convoy had stopped, the second prince Qi Dongyun hurriedly asked his attendant what happened?

"Return to the second prince, it's raining, and I'm going to rest here tonight." He said.

Hearing what he said, Qi Dongyun didn't care.

In three or four days, we will arrive at the disaster area.The journey was safe and sound, and nothing happened, so he was slightly relieved.

I didn't hear that there was something wrong with the attendant's voice.

Wait until a knife hacks in.

All the blood faded from his face in fright, and he still had no idea what happened.

But the instinct of survival made him avoid it.

Probably because the queen often beat him, his evasion movements were a little skillful, and to a certain extent, it really saved his life.

He looked at the "guard" in front, he was wearing the right clothes, it was the clothes his guards wore these days.

But people are not familiar people.

He didn't cover his face, and he obviously didn't mind being seen in full.He probably felt that Qi Dongyun was bound to die.

The assassin's eyes were as cold as a knife, and he didn't talk nonsense, he just kept slashing at Qi Dongyun.

The icy rain hit Qi Dongyun's face, and his messy hair was tangled together. I don't know if it was because the rain got into his eyes or because he was afraid.

In the end, he couldn't even keep his eyes open.

I thought about a lot of things in an instant, thinking of my miserable childhood, my submissive character, and dying like this before I accomplished anything.

The whole team was in chaos, saying that there was a bandit hiding in the woods, and the guards were tired of dealing with it.

Zhong Ming heard the screams outside the car, and quickly poked his head out.

The surrounding assassins seemed to be almost resolved, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly pulled some people towards Qi Dongyun's direction.

Qi Dongyun was afraid of him, so the car kept falling at the last place in the line.

When he arrives.

Qi Dongyun's leg was cut and he fell on the muddy ground.Obviously in excruciating pain, unable to stand up anymore, still struggling to crawl forward.

Seeing the bell, it seemed that he had finally seen the savior, and then he seemed to think of something, and did not open his mouth to call.

Zhong Ming didn't care what he was thinking.

The people around him quickly subdued the assassin.

Before he had time to ask anything, the assassin had already bit the poison and killed himself.

There were not many assassins, and the matter was resolved in a short while.

Zhong Ming hurriedly sent someone to bandage the second prince.

Just go and check the current situation of the team.

Generally speaking, the loss is not big.But it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so I decided to catch up in the rain and go to the next site to rest.

In the end, there was no danger, and we arrived before dark.

At night, Zhong Ming finally had time to think about this matter carefully.

Naturally, they couldn't be bandits. This group of people was well-trained and uniformly dressed. After their failure, they all killed themselves by biting poison, and none of them were captured.

Poison is hidden in the teeth, most of them are family dead men.

Seeing the assassin, his first reaction was that it was the queen's handwriting. After all, he has seen how the queen treats the second prince all these years.

Sacrificing a son she didn't care about and killing Zhong Ming, a thorn in the side, was a good deal for her.

Even if it is found out, she can still beat him up.

After all, it was widely rumored in Beijing that the prime minister wanted to replace the second prince.In case he failed to kill, he would have hurt himself instead.

But soon he realized that something was wrong.

He checked carefully, and there were almost no people on his side, but the main force was concentrated on Qi Dongyun.

The queen is not so overwhelmed that killing her only son would only frame Zhong Ming.

What's more, it was Qi Dongyun's bodyguard who went wrong temporarily, and it was obvious that he was going for him.

The guard Zhong Ming had seen him today, so it was impossible that he had been replaced long ago.

The clothes he was wearing were also the ones he had worn in the past two days, not the ones he wore when he left Beijing.

They are a solo team with narrow roads, and it is impossible to follow them all the time without being discovered.You can only set off earlier than them and ambush in the woods.

Then there must be spies in this team.

The queen was not yet able to reach out to him.

That's food for thought.

The emperor is still alive, except for the abolished prince, there is only such a son.

The prince has been imprisoned for many years, and he has long been addicted to cold food powder. If he really has the ability to plan these things, he doesn't have to work so hard for Zhong Ming all these years.

Other forces, large and small, have also been swept away by Zhong Ming over the years.

Only the Chen family, the queen's mother's family, was left, deliberately keeping it to see it linger.

At this time, he killed the second prince again, who benefited?

Zhong Ming thought of Qi Yanling.

The child he raised, that seemingly docile and kind-hearted boy, the one who had a cute smile and was full of childish demeanor.

Will it be him?

Zhong Ming didn't dare to make a decision.

But now all the deduced clues point to him, and he is on guard against everyone, except him.

He couldn't believe it, and he didn't dare not believe it.

He called the spies he cultivated to find out according to the existing clues.

I went to take it out again and got the letter this morning.

One was sent to him by Qi Yanling, and he simply poured out his thoughts, showing that he did not miss his homework.He also said that the weather is changeable, and I hope that my master will not reduce clothes at will, and pay more attention to your body when helping the victims in the south of the Yangtze River.

The other one was for him to check the rumors related to some time ago.It was found out that he was a distant relative of the Chen family.

But he has a photographic memory, he remembers this person.When the emperor felt that his health was not good, he handed over all the power to him, including some undercover agents in the Chen family.

He took over some of them, but he didn't think this person was very useful, so he had almost no contact.

Zhong Ming's heart sank gradually.

Apart from him, Qi Yanling was the one who could mobilize these people.

After all, his identity...

On the other side of the capital, Qi Yanling also received a message from a spy lurking beside Zhong Ming.

The people next to him were still pleading guilty, saying that they didn't expect the fourth prince to be able to hide so much, and missed the best opportunity when he went down with a few knives, and his real guards rushed over.

He secretly blamed himself, the first time he gave him a little task, he messed it up like this.

Quickly said as if to remedy: "This time the matter was done in secret, even if it didn't succeed, there would be no evidence, and you would not be found."

Seeing that Qi Yanling didn't reply, he looked up again and said: "Wait a little longer, they will let down their vigilance and attack again, they will be too hard to guard against."

This time Qi Yanling smiled.

He also wanted to flatter him with another sentence, "This subordinate dares to guarantee with his head that he will definitely take Qi Dongyun's life next time", but before he could say it, he was interrupted.

Qi Yanling waved his hand to signal him to go down.

He never expected Zhong Ming to not think of these things.

I am afraid that I have been exposed.

But he is not afraid that Zhong Ming will know.

It's just a pity in my heart, if he knew that he was so ambitious, he would definitely not lead him as he did before.

"Let's start early." He said to the rest of the people: "That matter."

The author has something to say: The Shui Ze Monument and the Flood Control Order refer to the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty respectively.

Mingming: The child I raised so hard, betrayed his old father just like this.

Yunyun: I think I am the worst in the whole world.
