Pei Xuan wrote in the letter: If I follow my heart, I will naturally be willing to be promoted. I know how difficult it will be along the way.

But when I was in the heavy rain, and a little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles gave me the only thick steamed bun in her hand, I resisted.

Pei Xuan refused the Xie family's friendship, and he had already broken his skin, so he stopped pretending and started investigating unscrupulously.

While providing disaster relief, they were investigating the dirty things done by the Xie family.

I just didn’t expect the Xie family to be so bold.

First, someone was found to beat Pei Xuan, so that Pei Xuan would retreat.

Pei Xuan was injured, and the Xie family pretended to visit him the next day, telling Pei Xuan arrogantly that this was just the beginning.

If Pei Xuan continues, it will be more than just that.

Pei Xuan was a bloody person, and Xie Jia's words made him more determined.

I just didn't expect that the Xie family would be bold enough to kill the imperial official.

The letter ends here.

Zhou Jingxuan put away the letter, his expression as heavy as thick ink.

It seems that the Xie family is already like a local emperor in Heyuan Pass.

There are so many prominent families in Jiangbei, but one Xie family is so bold, and so are the others.

What about the people behind it?

Zhou Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "These people are so presumptuous!"

Jiangbei's industry is lucky that he is here. If it had been anyone else, it would definitely not have been possible.

The rain outside is still pattering.

Zhou Jingxuan took out the second letter, which was hidden under the first letter.

There is a topographic map on it, which is not very visible at first, but Pei Xuan marked the location in detail.

But the more he looked at Zhou Jingxuan, the more frightened he became.

Marked above are some of the Xie family's mineral deposits that Pei Xuan discovered.

Several places where the execution embankments collapsed were related to the Xie family.

If Pei Xuan's standards were completely accurate, the entire Heyuan Pass would be hollowed out in less time.

perhaps……

Zhou Jingxuan thought of the worst result, that is, the current Heyuan Pass is almost gone!

The heavy rain outside seemed to confirm Zhou Jingxuan's thoughts, and the rain began to gradually become heavier.

It was pitch dark outside, and nothing could be seen except for the constant sound of raindrops.

The next day, An Yi was disguised as Zhou Jingxuan by Qiu Shuang and went to the government office.

Zhou Jingxuan was not suitable to come forward directly at this time, but someone had to deal with the disaster.

After thinking about it, An Yi left.

Nowadays, the heavy rain is pouring, and disaster relief is urgent.

As the rain continued unabated, the disaster in Heyuan Pass became more and more serious.

The rescue effort alone is too busy, the river water cannot flow out, and the landslide is serious.

An first felt anxious for once.

Countless victims beg and cry every day.

God seemed to want to wash away the sins of Heyuan Pass. The rain only stopped for a while and then started again.

The severity of the disaster in Heyuan Pass reached two-thirds.

Most of the crops, farmland and houses were destroyed. An Yi led people everywhere to rescue people trapped in the water every day.

However, the manpower is limited, and if this continues, the government officials will not be able to survive at all.

The water level cannot get out and is still rising.

Apart from the city, Heyuan Pass already looks like a purgatory on earth.

Many people knelt in the rain and begged God to stop this punishment from coming to them and to give them a way to survive.

When An Yi came back, he was completely soaked and looked exhausted.

He hadn't closed his eyes for several days.

Zhou Jingxuan has also established a good relationship with the Xie family in the past few days, and he revealed his family background without leaving any trace.

At first, the Xie family members were afraid that Zhou Jingxuan was someone from the imperial court who was deliberately approaching him, but after An Yin stepped forward, they felt relieved.

An Yi reported the disaster one by one.

Today's constant rescue efforts only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

As the water level rises, the number of people affected by the disaster will only continue to increase, and it will be impossible to save them by just rescuing them.

There are only so many people in the government office in Heyuanguan, even if they are to unite the people, there are only so many people who can swim. If they keep going without sleep, they will soon be unable to hold on.

An Yi looked tired: "Master, more and more people are affected by the disaster, and the number of deaths continues to rise."

“There’s not enough food for anything.”

"The Xie family in the city has plenty of food, but the price is too high and ordinary people cannot afford it."

"Countless crops and fields have been destroyed. Not only is it difficult to survive this current crisis, but next year, people's lives will also be very difficult."

An Yi licked his chapped lips. He couldn't even take a sip of water these days.

Although he is a martial arts practitioner and has a strong body, under such circumstances, he is still a little unable to withstand it.

Seeing An Yi like this, Jiang Si poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Drink some first."

Zhou Jingxuan said softly: "Get up first."

An Yi came to take the tea: "Thank you, Princess."

The warm tea entered his body, and he felt a little warmer all over.

Seeing An Yi's tired look, Zhou Jingxuan waved his hand: "You go and rest first, and then we'll talk after you're well rested."

An Yi hesitated: "But there are still many people affected by the disaster. If we go earlier, some people can be rescued."

Zhou Jingxuan's voice was a bit unforgiving: "I will arrange these, your task now is to rest!"

"This is an order!"

An opened his mouth, and finally responded slowly: "I obey."

No wonder An Yi was like this, anyone who saw that scene would not want to rest and want to save one more person.

As soon as An left, Zhou Jingxuan looked a little solemn.

Now that he has come into contact with the Xie family, he has discovered that these families are at the bottom of the list of prominent families in Jiangbei.

In other words, Heyuanguan and the Xie family are not important at all to the prominent families in Jiangbei.

And you can give it up at any time.

Zhou Jingxuan said softly: "The floods are serious now, Ah Si, what do you think?"

Jiang Si did have an idea. When Zhou Jingxuan asked, she answered: "I do have a way, but it may not be practical."

Hearing what Jiang Si said, Zhou Jingxuan's eyes immediately lit up. During this period, he was a little anxious. The flood was not something else and could not be stopped manually.

"Asi, just say it."

Jiang Si nodded: "The location of Heyuan Pass is special. Water is trapped in it and cannot get out. The underground is almost empty because of the Xie family's minerals, so it is extremely easy to collapse."

"In this way, over time, the number of people affected by the disaster will continue to increase."

"We don't know when the rain will stop, so the only way now is to save ourselves."

"It would be fine if the rain stopped, but we can't interfere with this."

Zhou Jingxuan frowned slightly: "Ah Si, how can I save myself?"

The flickering candlelight reflected in Jiang Si's eyes, and she whispered: "Build channels to divert the water!"

"Introduce the water from Heyuan Pass into the river."

"At least the water problem is solved. If we want to prevent this from happening again, we have to stop the mine and plant trees!"
