After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 209 Don't be afraid, everyone.

When will the imperial court's rescue arrive?
They had to save themselves quickly! So Pei Yuanjun wrote a letter to the emperor, explaining that he had to stay in Qingtan County to help with disaster relief and might not be able to return for a while.

Pei Yuanjun's gaze darkened slightly. Logically speaking, this Peijiawan Village had never experienced such a large flood before.

There are water storage dikes in Qingtan County. Two years ago, the Emperor allocated silver to reinforce the dikes!
The water flow from the dam doesn't pass through Peijiawan Village at all, so it wouldn't flood this area.

what is the problem?

It seems he needs to send someone to investigate the source!
Pei Yuanjun ordered his guards to investigate quickly. Just then, a bamboo raft came down the water from a distance.

When everyone looked, they realized it was Zhao Baoye.

They crowded around in surprise and asked, "Young Master Zhao, did the imperial court send you to rescue us?"

Zhao Baoye glanced at Pei Yuanjun with a somewhat grave expression: "Don't worry, everyone. We have already reported the disaster situation to the imperial court! Magistrate Liang has come to help resolve the problem, so please don't be afraid!"

The crowd watched as the middle-aged man, dressed in official robes, shakily descended from the bamboo raft, and a young man in a blue long robe with a dignified face.
Upon seeing Pei Yuanjun, Magistrate Liang bowed slightly, but Pei Yuanjun waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formalities.

The young man bowed and said, "Your Excellency, all the soldiers have gone to the severely affected villages as you instructed to investigate and understand the actual situation in the surrounding villages!"

"This is?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, this is my son, Liang Yusheng."

Everyone stared blankly at Pei Yuanjun. Was he the current prime minister?

Suddenly, a thought struck them: if their eldest son were the prime minister, wouldn't they be saved? Instantly, everyone's hearts were filled with countless hopes and imaginations for a new life.

"Brother, you must save us!"

After he finished speaking, everyone knelt down.

Pei Yuanjun helped everyone up one by one. At this moment, the village chief suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears and knelt down: "I'm so sorry to everyone!" He then cried out in remorse.

"Village chief... Father..."

"Village chief, get up! This isn't your fault!" "No, Dalang sent someone to tell me the night before last to be on guard against flash floods and to be ready to evacuate at any time, but..." The village chief choked up several times as he spoke!

"But I... I thought that Peijiawan Village had never experienced any flash floods, and I was so careless that I couldn't bear to move away. Thinking about it, I really deserve to die!"

The village head looked at the village chief with a complicated expression, his body trembling slightly: "Old Pei, are you confused?!"

The villager's eyes were bloodshot, and he was quite agitated: "Village chief, why didn't you say so sooner? If you had said so earlier, my cow wouldn't have died."

Uncle Liu was getting a little emotional; his old water buffalo was something he'd raised for half his life. He couldn't bear to part with it!

"Yes, you said that all our livestock can be driven up the mountain behind the house so they won't drown."

Several villagers looked at the village chief with red eyes; all their hard work of most of their lives had been lost!
The village chief's son stood in front of him, afraid that they would rush up and beat him.

"Everyone, please be quiet. My young master has something to say!"

The cacophony of voices criticizing Pei Yuanjun finally fell silent upon seeing him.

They still need Pei Yuanjun to rebuild their homes!

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked expectantly at Pei Yuanjun.

Pei Yuanjun then said, "Now is not the time to blame others; we should discuss how to resolve this matter!"

"But all our life's work is gone. How can we not hate you, Dalang? Why didn't you tell us and only told the village chief?"

Some people have directed their anger at Pei Yuanjun!

At this moment, Qi Yunran stepped forward and said, "Even if I had told you back then, you still wouldn't have left! Don't forget that when Pei Yuanjun's guards came to rescue you, you didn't believe him at all."

"If you hadn't seen the house swept away by the flood in front of you in an instant, you wouldn't have followed them up the mountain."
