A torrent of rain came suddenly, and raindrops as big as peas fell down on the face. Thousands of arrows fell down on the river. Everything was white as far as the eye could see. There were no cattle or horses a hundred meters away. Everyone on the embankment was instantly drowned.

As the heavy rain continued, the water level of the Yellow River increased significantly. The muddy yellow water roared and poured from the gap, constantly washing away the soil on both sides. Even the pyramid wooden cage that was pushed down just now showed signs of being washed away.

The situation suddenly became precarious.

Looking at the soil being washed away by the heavy rain, the gap in the embankment was slowly widening, and all the officials present turned a little pale. They had to accompany the imperial envoy to venture onto the embankment because of the presence of the imperial envoy. No one wanted to risk their lives because of this.

.

"Master Xiao, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, so leave here quickly, otherwise your life may be in danger!" Magistrate Song leaned into Xiao Huai's ear and shouted loudly.

Xiao Huai naturally knew the danger, but if he evacuated at this time, his efforts for several days would be in vain. Once the levee collapsed further, the people downstream might suffer even more casualties. Just outside Fan County, there were more than 20,000 refugees.

, so he shouted sternly: "If the embankment is destroyed, people will be killed. All the royal guards obey the order. If any of the officials and officers and soldiers present today dare to evacuate privately, they will be killed first and then reported!"

Lu Xing and other Jin Yiwei agreed in unison, suddenly pulled out the gleaming Xiuchun knife, and looked around with murderous intent. The officials and servants present took a breath of air-conditioning and complained in their hearts.

"Listen up, the imperial envoy has an order. If the dike is destroyed and people are there, people will die. If you still want to survive, you will work hard for me. I will use all your strength to suck milk and shit..."

In an instant, all the officials and minor officials were going crazy, shouting and urging them to work like laborers. At this time, Gouzhi County, who had a big belly, didn't care about soiling his official uniform, and ran back and forth wearing a raincoat, shouting hoarsely.

Yelling and cursing.

Ho ho... go for it!

In the torrential rain, tens of thousands of workers carried sandbags, mud bags, wooden piles and stones and ran wildly on the embankment, struggling to heighten and strengthen the embankment. Some people fell in the mud, some lost their feet and rolled off the embankment, and some accidentally fell down.

Fell into the river and was swept away by the huge turbid waves...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Jin felt his blood boiling in his chest. He felt as if he had returned to his boyhood in his previous life. He saw on TV the soldiers holding flags and rushing to the front line of flood relief. The memory of the 1998 flood was still fresh in his mind.

Ah, Xu Jin also saw the method of using pyramid-shaped wooden cages to plug the gap in the embankment on TV, but they used iron cages made of welded steel.

Xu Jin waved Jin Baihu to his side and whispered a few words in his ear. The latter immediately called a dozen brothers to shout loudly: "Imperial Envoy Master Xu has an order. After setting up a wooden cage, he will reward you with ten taels of silver."

.”

"Imperial envoy Master Xu has an order to set up a wooden cage and reward him with ten taels of silver..."

Although it was raining heavily, as soon as Jinyiwei's shouts spread, the cheers of the workers instantly drowned out the storm. Chen Dazhuang and others worked desperately.

Half an hour later, a pyramid wooden cage was finally set up, and various stone sandbags were stuffed into it continuously.

Boom...the wooden cage was pushed into the gap!

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind. With the "heavy reward" of ten taels of silver, wooden cages were built one after another and pushed into the gap in the embankment. Then, sandbags were thrown like raindrops.

Down.

Since there is a wooden cage blocking the gap, you don't have to worry about being washed away by the current when you throw sandbags into the gap. Therefore, the gap in the embankment is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. Magistrate Song and others were overjoyed when they saw this, and they all shouted as if they were drunk.

Urging workers to speed up the transportation of sandbags and mud bags.

It's about their own lives, everyone is fighting for it!

"Hey...!" A tall and thin figure struggled to climb up from the bottom of the dam with a sandbag on his back. His body was almost bent into a bow shape, and he fell a dozen times before climbing to the top of the dam.

When this person came closer, Xu Jin realized that it was Lord Bo Zou Qian. Looking at County Lord Fan, who was wearing a black gauze crookedly in the heavy rain and his sparse beard clinging to his face, Xu Jin was instantly filled with emotion.

If an official can do this, even if it is a show, he will be a good official for show!

Xu Jin took off his bamboo hat and raincoat, rushed down the dam, carried a bag of sandbags and climbed up, shouting slogans together with the workers...

The reason why a role model is a role model is because it has the energy to drive a group of people. Soon, more young officials joined the ranks of carrying sandbags. Finally, even the Jin Yiwei took off his flying fish uniform, rolled up his sleeves and went into battle shirtless...

When the workers saw this, they worked even harder, as if they had been beaten to death. With the unity of one mind and the cooperation of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, the embankment was finally closed successfully.

When the heavy rain stopped, the gap in the embankment had been completely filled with sandbags and soil, and the Yellow River water rolled eastward along its original channel.

Amidst the deafening cheers, Xu Jin fell down into the muddy water. Although he was exhausted and exhausted, he felt a hearty and refreshing feeling.

Some refugees hugged each other in the muddy water and cried with joy. They are people from Caozhou. Now that the gap in the Yellow River has finally been closed, it means that they will be able to return to their hometowns soon.

When the sunset after the rain completely sank into the horizon, smoke was everywhere on the embankment, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of food. The workers were eagerly waiting for dinner, but Xu Jin was so tired that he had no appetite at all. After drinking a belly of water,

I dragged my legs as if they were filled with lead and returned to the camp. After taking off my official uniform that was stained with mud and water, I fell asleep wearing only a pair of underpants.

If Xiaowan or Yue'er were here, they would definitely wipe Xu Jin's body clean, put on a set of clean clothes, and even sit next to him all night and fan himself to drive away mosquitoes. Unfortunately, the one who is serving Xu Jin now is Er.

Niu, this guy just gave Mr. Xu a piece of clothing to cover him with, and then ran off to eat by himself. When he came back, he didn't even change his clothes. He fell down and snored like thunder.

As a result, when Xu Jin got up the next day, he only felt that his throat was itchy and he sneezed several times in a row. He couldn't help but scream inwardly. He probably caught a cold. It seemed that he had to go back to the city to find two doses of Xiaolizi Jian. Be careful.

After sailing for thousands of years, Xu Jin didn't want to hang around suffering from a cold.

Xu Jin got up and put on his clothes, and then kicked Erniu awake on the straw mat. This beast was rough and thick-skinned. He had been lying on the ground all night wearing clothes full of mud and water. When he got up, he was still very energetic.

As soon as Xu Jin walked out of the camp, Jin Baihu ran over in a panic and said urgently: "Mr. Xu, something bad has happened. Some workers gathered to make trouble and detained Master Xiao, Song Magistrate, Zhang Tongzhi, and Gou County Magistrate.

, Lu Qianhu couldn’t make up his mind, so I asked Mr. Xu to go and deal with it as soon as possible!”

Xu Jin's face changed suddenly, and his head that was a little swollen suddenly woke up. He asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why are those workers making trouble?"

Jin Baihu swallowed hard and briefly introduced the situation as he walked.

It turned out that this morning, Zou Zhubo distributed the wages for the past few days to the workers. As a result, some workers were not satisfied with the grains they received and asked for exchanges. As a result, several officials responsible for distributing grains said some unpleasant words, which triggered a conflict.

, the angry refugees finally detained Xiao Huai and others who came to mediate.
