Qingluo Jinghe

Chapter 113 The magistrate of the government office and the county complained about the preparations for the imperial envoy of the Bitter Tears Station ([-])

"Hey……"

After inviting the two imperial envoys and their entourage in, the county magistrate sighed for a while.

"My lords don't know something!" The county magistrate stood up, poured a cup of warm water for the two of them, and brought them up. "There are some people in the county who know something, and they have already said that the rain will not stop for a while."

"There are many mountains in southern Hubei. If there is a big flood, it will be in danger. I am the parent official of this southern Hubei county. Even if I lose this black hat because of a wrong report, I will never dare to put the people in the water and fire!"

"On the first day it rained, I sent someone to deliver an urgent letter to the imperial court, but I haven't received a reply from the imperial court." The magistrate of E'nan County sighed, tears streaming down his face, "I think the imperial court is about to give up. Hubei is here!"

"Where is the reason for the imperial court to abandon the common people?" Zheng Zhicen put down the teacup in his hand and said seriously, "It's just this letter..."

"The imperial court only received it six or seven days after the heavy rain in southern Hubei."

Logically speaking, with Yue Anzhao here, Zheng Zhicen should listen in instead of speaking first.However, this letter was received by the central court sooner or later, and Yue Anzhao, who had been a government official in Henan for many years, had already arranged for Zheng Zhicen to communicate.

"Six or seven days?"

"Exactly." Zheng Zhicen nodded.This fault was not the fault of the county magistrate of E'nan, but it was really not easy to survive alone for so long.

The magistrate of E'nan County didn't talk about anything else, he just said, "It's also my deputy who has been with me for two years. If he hadn't been giving advice all the time, I wouldn't know what to do."

"Deputy?" Yue Anzhao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard such a title, "The deputy of the county magistrate is the head of which township?"

"No, no." Mentioning this pair of hands, the eyes of the county magistrate of E'nan lit up a little, "It's a child from a foreign country, who wandered to this county, and I adopted it by my side. He is smart."

Yue Anzhao nodded, and without saying anything else, he gave Zheng Zhicen a look, and he heard the latter say, "Then dare to ask the county magistrate's deputy, where is he now?"

"Beside the river embankment in the southeast of the county seat, the estuary may burst, and the child will be under surveillance." Speaking of the assistant, the county magistrate seemed to be talking about his own child, with no concealment of pride in his words.

Listening to the words of the county magistrate of E'nan, Yue Anzhao and Zheng Zhicen didn't say anything, but Yue Anzhao raised his drooping eyes, looked at the county magistrate of E'nan squarely and said, "If you dare to ask the county magistrate's family members, how can you accept it?" After this flood? What are your plans now?"

"I don't have any family members... It was also a flood that took the lives of my wife and children. Afterwards, I became the magistrate of the county, and I didn't have a day of leisure."

"There are a lot of matchmakers. Thinking about my wives and children, I have no intention of marrying again."

Yue Anzhao thought of her own sister, and her nephew who died young -- another person with the same temperament as her brother-in-law Su Zexun. Such affection is rare among officials and eunuchs.

"It's really Yue's fault that it aroused the sadness of the county magistrate."

After this conversation, Yue Anzhao had [-]% trust in the county magistrate.But if what the county magistrate said was true, then where did the mistake come from?
"Master County Magistrate, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Yue will probably stay at the inn temporarily and settle down the entourage." Among the people in the officialdom, Dabi still knows the stories of the Yue family, so Zheng Zhicen continued, "Later At some point, I’m afraid I’ll have to harass my lord to discuss ways to control the water together.”

"This is what I did, but now it is my crime to want the people to flee, so why bother?" When the county magistrate of E'nan mentioned the flood, his whole body was quite depressed.

"If there is something missing in the post station, the flood will cost people and money, and I'm afraid it won't be able to make up for it for a while. But the two adults can just ask, if I have any, I will send it."
