Rebirth of the prosperous male concubine

The next day, the rain had not stopped, and the water outside had already covered the ankles. If this continues, it may cause floods or landslides.

The magistrate came with his big belly in the rain.

Feng Ye asked: "The rain is so strong, what countermeasures have you taken?"

The magistrate looked embarrassed, and said: "My lord, this natural disaster is really rare, and Shifeng people have no experience in dealing with it, so I'm afraid there will be something wrong."

Feng Ye really wanted to get angry, which means he didn't say anything, just wait here?

However, Feng Qin finally restrained himself. He is not an emperor, so he cannot send officials down. If he talks too much and does too much, he will be suspected of exceeding his authority.

Feng Qin said from the side: "Is there no one in the government office who understands?"

If there is really no one, then this government office is too incompetent.

The magistrate looked ashamed, "My lord, since I became the magistrate of Shifeng, I have been working hard every day on how to make the people have enough food and clothing, how to develop the economy, and Shifeng has had no natural disasters for hundreds of years. I really didn't pay attention to this aspect. .”

People who don't admit their mistakes first show their merits are the most despised.

Feng Qin was too lazy to listen to his sophistry, and said directly: "You are near the lake, there should be many fishermen fishing in the lake, right?"

"Yes, Qingzhong Lake has a large area and is rich in fish. It is true that many people make a living by fishing."

Feng Qin: "Go to these fishermen's homes first, borrow all the fishing nets, weave several large nets, and then fix them outside the mountain to show up, so that even if there is a landslide, there will be a certain buffer. These are definitely not enough, and more will be collected. Weavers, make some more."

Fishing nets are relatively stronger and can also slow down the force for a while.

"Yes." The prefect replied.

"How high is the water in the lake now?" Feng Ye asked.

The prefect: "I just haven't reached the flat ground."

"I don't know when the rain will fall. Immediately dig a reservoir by the lake. It must be large and deep, and keep it for later use. Don't transport the soil too far. If it is not needed, it will be filled back. Convenient." Feng Ye said.It is troublesome to dig a temporary reservoir, but it may be worthwhile to solve the urgent need.

"Yes, the next official will do it immediately." The magistrate hurriedly said.

"Wait, there will be an epidemic after the disaster. There are people on my side who can develop medicines. You organize some people and deliver them door-to-door in a few days." Feng Ye said

"Yes, the great kindness of the prince, the people of Shifeng will definitely remember it."

Feng Ye didn't want to hear what he had to say, so he waved his hands and said, "Go and do your work."

After the magistrate left, Feng Qin sneered and said: "This magistrate is not as honest as he looks on the surface. His eyes are too wandering, too attentive, and he is willing to do such a simple thing but he has to be ordered. It is relying on someone behind him to support him, so he is not afraid of accidents." , put the life and death of the people at risk.”

Feng Ye said: "Anyway, this is a natural disaster. Even if his negligence caused casualties or displacement of the people, as long as he hides it and pushes it to the natural disaster, nothing will happen to him, and his official career will still be bright."

Feng Qin said "tsk" twice, "Forget it, my brother and I both understand some things, so let's not talk about it, lest the walls have ears."

"En." Feng Ye smiled and nodded.

Near the evening, the rain stopped, but the dark clouds were still thick, and the sun didn't even have a shadow. It seemed that there would be another one.

The guards around the magistrate hurried over and said that all the fishermen's fishing nets had been taken away, including the threads and tools for weaving the nets.

"What?" Feng Qin frowned. Normally speaking, who would accept these things at this moment? "Does anyone know who paid for it?"

"Report to the prince, saying that he is from the Palace of the Other Side." The guard said.

"The Other Shore Palace?" Feng Qin didn't know what this place was.

As someone who has been in the rivers and lakes, Feng Qin naturally knows more about these sects, but he didn't explain it right away, he just wanted to hear what the people here had to say.

Seeing that they didn't know, the guard immediately explained: "The Bian'an Palace is a well-known cult in the martial arts. It does all kinds of evil on weekdays, bewitching the villagers, causing trouble, and killing innocent people indiscriminately. But because the entrance of the Bian'an Palace is very secret, So the government has not found a place so far, so they can't do anything. The palace on the other side is full of women, the previous palace passed away half a year ago, and the new palace master is a man."

Speaking of this, the guard showed a disdainful and wretched smile, "This palace is full of women and a man, the life of the palace master is probably very happy, right?"

Feng Qin frowned, but didn't get angry immediately, he just said: "Understood. Go tell the magistrate to dig the reservoir first."

"Yes." After the guard responded, he left.

With no one else around, Feng Qin asked: "Brother, do you know anything about the Palace of the Other Side?"

"I've heard about it, but it's different from what the guard said." Feng Ye smiled, "Go find Song Qi, he should know more."

"it is good."

In the vacated guest room, Jiang Yi was helping Song Qi weigh the herbs.These are used to prevent post-disaster epidemics, just soak them in water and take them.

"Are you done with the work ahead?" Song Qi asked with a smile.

"Well, there's something I want to ask you." Feng Ye helped him pin the hair that fell from his forehead behind his ears, his movements were extremely gentle.

"what's up?"

Feng Qin went over and took the small scale from Jiang Yi's hand, and pulled him aside to sit down and rest for a while.

"The other shore palace." Feng Ye said.

Song Qi thought about it, and said with a smile: "The Palace of the Other Side is indeed here, I wouldn't even remember it if you didn't mention it."

Feng Ye: "Just now the prefect's guards came over and said that the fishing nets were taken away by the people of the Bi'an Palace, and they also said some bad things about the Bi'an Palace. I remember that Master's evaluation of the Bi'an Palace was not bad, but I didn't know the details, so I came here. Ask you."

After taking his seat, Song Qi smiled and said: "In Jianghu, once something bad happens, some decent people will blame it on the cult. In fact, sometimes it has nothing to do with the cult. It seems that it is just to show that decentness is good , Heresy is nothing but evil.”

"The owner of the Bi'an Palace has always been a woman, and the people in the palace are also women. Most of them are orphans. They were rescued by the Bi'an Palace and stayed there. At first, the reputation of the Bi'an Palace was not bad, but later There was a palace lord of the other shore palace, who was in love with the martial arts supreme at that time, and they got together. But the palace lord was too glamorous, and his behavior was not serious enough, but he was not considered frivolous, but the martial arts people did not think highly of this couple. , in their minds, this Supreme should marry an ordinary-looking but dignified and gentle girl, not this glamorous and charming palace lord."

"Later, rumors began to circulate in the Jianghu that the Palace Master was a demon, who confused the Supreme, and wanted to attack that Palace Master. After a martial arts catastrophe, the Supreme was seriously injured and lost all his martial arts. In a fit of anger, the Palace Master, It is announced that from now on, the Bian'an Palace will no longer associate with decent people in the martial arts, and if these decent people dare to provoke the Bian'an Palace again in the future, they will be killed without mercy."

"Since then, the Paradise Palace has been listed as a cult."

Jiang Yi asked: "The Martial Lord also has seven emotions and six desires. And it's just because the palace lord doesn't look like an ordinary woman, so he wants to crusade. I'm afraid there are other reasons for this?"

"That's right." Song Qidao: "At that time, the martial arts leader's own sister had a crush on that Supreme, and the rumors and crusades were initiated by that martial leader. Later, because of Supreme's complete loss of martial arts, some people began to reflect. Afterwards, the martial arts leader He was dismissed. But Bi’an Palace has never returned to the ranks of decent. Later, the martial arts sects have been updated more, and there are fewer people who understand the ins and outs of Bi’an Palace, and Bi’an Palace has gradually become a representative of cults.”

"It's wronged by this cult." Feng Qin laughed.

He was able to understand the thoughts of the palace lord and the martial arts supreme.After all, when love comes, if both parties are sincere, then nothing can be exchanged.

"Sometimes people's hearts can't be divided by pure righteousness and evil." Song Qi said.

Feng Ye: "That's right. But I heard that the Bi'an Palace has a new palace owner, and it's still a man."

Song Qi smiled, "It really is him."

Feng Ye asked in surprise, "You know him?"

Song Qi shook his head, "I don't know him, but I heard from Master. The owner of the Bi'an Palace adopted a boy and treated him as his own. The entire Bi'an Palace is full of women, and they are very kind-hearted. Naturally, they love children, so this The child has been growing up under the love and care of many parties. Before that, the Bian'an Palace intended to pass on the seat to this boy, but it was not confirmed at that time, so it was just a rumor."

Feng Ye said: "If this person has a good heart, then it is a blessing to inherit the Palace of the Other Side. If not, it may lead to a big mistake."

Song Qidao: "It shouldn't be wrong. I heard from Master that the Mistress of the Palace of the Other Shore has a delicate mind, is upright, and cares about the world. It is beyond the reach of ordinary women. The children she teaches should be right."

"I hope so."

The next day was still cloudy, but there was no rain.

A place for serving rice porridge has been built, and the rice has been put into the pot, waiting to be cooked and distributed.

In some villages with surviving homes, the rice is directly sent there and distributed by Lizheng.As for the displaced people, those resettled in the resettlement sites set up by the government will give out porridge directly at the resettlement site, and others can queue up at the porridge kitchen in the city to receive a spoonful of rice porridge and a piece of pancake.

The medicine Song Qi prepared was also distributed one by one, because it only needs to be soaked in water and drink a small cup every day, so anyone can drink it without trouble.

Feng Qin and Feng Ye went to inspect the lake and the mountain.

The reservoir by the lake has been dug to a certain size.But one estimate is not enough. In terms of current manpower and material resources, it is more realistic to do one by one.

On the other side of the mountain, the mountain has been covered by fishing nets, and it is covered by more than one layer, which is very dense.

Feng Qin raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and said to the prefect and guards who followed: "Is this the cult you are talking about?"

The magistrate hurriedly said: "My lord, they are probably afraid that something will happen and they will be troubled."

"Oh?" Feng Qin squinted at him, "That makes sense."

But I was cursing in my heart: the idiot magistrate, good or bad, it's a waste of public food.

Today's weather is not bad, only a few drops of drizzle, and it has all stopped in the evening.

It's not interesting to stay in the post house all day, and it just so happened that it didn't rain in the evening, so Feng Qin took Jiang Yi out to eat.

Due to the weather, most restaurants are still closed.But some shops that sell noodles and wontons will still be open.

The two found a local noodle restaurant with special characteristics, and ordered two bowls of noodles and two side dishes.Simply put, in this cool evening after the rain, it looks so comfortable and comfortable, if there are no people in rags outside the shop, it may be regarded as a very relaxing meal.

This noodle shop is indeed well-made, the noodles are thin and firm, the soup is very fresh, adding some spicy peppers, it is even more fragrant.

While eating, a person sat down on the empty seat opposite Jiang Yi. The two looked up and saw a man about their age.

This man's appearance is a bit flattering, this word describes a man with no respect, but I can't find a more suitable word than this.Fascinating but not bewitching can be regarded as a realm.

The man is dressed in red, which looks bright and abrupt in this dark-clothed county, but it suits him so well.

"Excuse me, can I share a table?" the man asked.The voice is very clear, not half feminine.

In this kind of small shop, sharing tables is very common.Moreover, this store is not very big, and the remaining three tables are almost full, so it is normal to try to join them here.

Feng Qin nodded.

The other party also wanted a bowl of noodles and a small portion of wontons, and the food was very refined.

Feng Qin ordered another piece of meat, and put Jiang Yi's favorite pure and thin meat into Jiang Yi's bowl.

"It's good to see Xiongtai and Madam Ling's relationship." The man smiled.

"Why do you think we're husband and wife, not brothers?" Generally, Feng Qin would not accept this kind of strike-up, but the other party was well-dressed and not like ordinary marketers, so he was interested in chatting a few words.

The man smiled and said: "One is that they don't look the same, and it's a little bit reluctant to say that they are related by blood; The jade pendant, this jade is very valuable, it is impossible for any family to carve such a precious jade pendant into a jade pendant, one for each child, right?"

Feng Qin smiled, "Brother has good eyesight."

"Thank you. The main reason is that I can meet two well-dressed and extraordinary temperaments here, so I can't help but pay more attention." The man said.

Feng Qin didn't speak any more, and the man didn't initiate any more conversations.

After Feng Qin and Jiang Yi finished eating, they greeted the man and left.

On the way, Jiang Yi smiled lightly and said, "Shifeng is indeed an outstanding man, there is such a man with a special temperament."

Feng Qin raised his eyebrows, "You like this?"

"No, I just feel special."

Feng Qin took his hand and said: "With his weak waist and trembling legs, it is impossible to give you happiness. Look at me, I am strong, strong and strong, and it will not be a problem for one night. It is better than that." Too much!"

Jiang Yi blushed instantly, "You are a person who doesn't even have a concubine, what are you talking about here?"

"I just need my concubine to know how strong I am." Feng Qin whispered in Jiang Yi's ear.

"Shut up, you." Jiang Yi became a little annoyed.

Feng Qin laughed, and his mood immediately improved a bit.

After three consecutive days of no rain, the distribution of porridge and food went well, followed by heavy rain for several consecutive days.

The rain had no intention of stopping, which made Feng Qin and Feng Ye very worried.

Finally, in the afternoon, the two of them, together with Song Qi and a few guards, went out to check on the situation.

Because Jiang Yi was weak, he would definitely get drenched when he went out in this rainy day, Feng Qin was worried, so he didn't let him follow.

The streets are full of water, half of the calf has been covered, and it is very difficult to move forward.There was no one on the road, and it was deserted like an empty city.

By the lake, as they expected, the water of the lake has risen to fill the cistern.

The reservoir is obviously not enough, it is no longer underwater, and the original appearance cannot be seen.The water by the lake was also waist-deep, and the homes of many nearby farmers were washed away. There were a lot of wood, straw and some sundries floating on the water, which was also quite dangerous.

The officers and soldiers by the lake didn't know what to do, they were gathering together to discuss ideas.

The arrival of Feng Ye and Feng Qin made them seem to have found their backbone. After the leader saluted everyone, he explained the situation.

"Where's the magistrate?" Feng Qin asked.

"This... this..." the captain faltered.

"Speaking, why are you stuttering?" Feng Qin's temper also came up.

How dare the commander offend Feng Qin, he immediately replied: "The magistrate is resting at the mansion."

"The lake water is rising, the people are displaced, and their lives are in danger. He actually rests at the mansion?!" Feng Qin said angrily.If he was in the city now, he would definitely go directly to kill the prefect.

Feng Ye patted Feng Qin on the shoulder, "Solve the current problem first, and deal with the magistrate when we go back."

Feng Qin took a deep breath and asked, "Brother, what do you notice?"

"Now that it's like this, it's impossible to dig a reservoir. We can only use our internal force to create a deep hole to solve the urgent need." Feng Ye said.

"Then let's do this." Feng Qin replied.Fortunately, Song Qi is here and can help a lot.

After finishing speaking, the three of them stood in front of each other, and began to smash into the hole with internal force.As each deep pit is formed, water rushes in, swirling on the surface of the water.

It was also the first time for Feng Qin to see Song Qi's inner strength, it was really very strong, and the pits he made were big and deep, which shows that not only the inner strength is deep, but also the inner strength is well grasped.

But in terms of the rising trend of the lake water, these pits are still not enough, and more holes need to be made.

Just when they were too busy to take care of it, a red figure descended from the sky, and a cold internal force landed in front of the hole Feng Qin made, creating three more holes in an instant.The water was squeezed in again, and it was filled in a short while, and the water level was obviously lower than before.

Feng Ye and Song Qi both looked over.

The man smiled and said to Feng Qin: "We meet again."
