The Savior is just a 3-Year-Old

Chapter 731: He let himself loose (1)

Lu huaijiang’s expression was cold. if we can’t find anyone to take responsibility today, all the officials along the way will be beheaded. Don’t leave a single one!”

Lu huaijiang’s words really scared the Wits out of the officials on that line.

His hair was almost standing on end.

The officials saw that he was really angry, and all of them knelt on the ground.

“Your Majesty, please calm your anger.”

“Your Majesty, you can’t do that. Your Majesty. This lowly subject is the furthest away from Jiangnan. Every year and every month, I request the officials of the land I belong to to to deliver recent major events. I’m innocent.”

Lu huaijiang’s hand moved, and he was about to wave his hand to drag the officials out and behead them.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind him …

His anger stopped abruptly.

Lu huaijiang suppressed his anger.

One of the officials saw that the emperor’s expression had suddenly improved. His body went soft and he immediately began to cry.

Every year, I go to Jiangnan to inspect. It must be that the officials under me hid this matter in order to cover up the truth. A few courtiers started arguing again. They all said that they didn’t receive any news of the flood.

Everything pointed to the Lord in the corner.

It was the local county magistrate who had ordered people to escort him to the capital overnight.

At this moment, the eyes of the county magistrate, who was wearing wrinkled clothes that had not been changed for many days, were red.

“Your Majesty, they are lying! They were slandering him! When this lowly subject discovered that there was a flood in Jiangnan, I reported it, but no one from above has dealt with it. ”

“Although this lowly official is a small county official under Jiangnan and is not as powerful as all of you Daren. However, this lowly subject has always been cautious and did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. Jiangnan was an important part of the great Zhou. Any abnormality would be recorded in the county Journal. When we found out that it had rained for twelve days, I sent three letters.”

“On the 15th and 16th, some dams had already exceeded the water level. That night, I brought more than half of the bailiffs to wake up every household. Carry your things and take turns to monitor the dam.”

“That night, this lowly subject sent three urgent letters to the government office. The three letters were sent in succession, all within two hours. At that time, the storm did not stop, and the dam was in danger of bursting.”

“This lowly subject braved the rain and knocked on every house. During those three days, everyone was moved to the higher ground.”

“But after three days, no one from above came.”

“Now … The river burst its banks, and the entire County was finished. It’s all over.” Even though they managed to save some of their belongings, the houses and crops were all gone. Nowadays, who had so much money on them? they all relied on crops.

And because the news of the flood had not spread, countless people downstream had died or been injured.

It took a month for the refugees to disperse before the news spread.

That small county magistrate had never seen any high-ranking officials or nobles, and was originally trembling in fear.

However, at this moment, he was crying as he spoke. In an instant, his whimpering sound rang out in front of the hall.

“Everything in this lowly official’s County Office has been washed away, not even a change of clothes. It was the commoners who saw that the clothes I was wearing had a sour smell and sent me a few sets of clothes to change into. Before coming to the capital, the common people were worried that this lowly official would lose his manners in front of the palace, so they mended this lowly official’s torn official robes overnight and washed them clean.” The little county magistrate revealed the places on his body where there were needles and threads. The ministers looked at him and didn’t know what to say.

They were far away in the capital, the most prosperous place in the world, but they did not expect the small county official under Jiangnan to live like this.

“Push it. Look at how you’ve forced the people under you.”

Lord Xia rolled his eyes.

The ministers looked at him in confusion.

She felt that ever since his father retired and returned to his hometown, Lord Xia had been letting himself go.

It was a casual push!
