Jin Chen originally thought that no one would speak for Chen Xiuzhu in the future. However, on the day when the convoy arrived at the destination, after Gao Ping got off the carriage, Jin Chen was just about to get up and get off the carriage. Li Zi suddenly pleaded for Chen Xiuzhu.

"Your Majesty, General Chen has been sincerely apologizing to you for so many days. This slave thinks that he should have really changed his mind. Why don't Your Majesty give General Chen another chance?"

Jin Chen paused.

"Xiao Lizi, are you pleading for him?"

"……Yes."

Xiao Lizi lowered his head, not daring to look at Jin Chen.

"Perhaps it is very treasonous to say this, but General Chen is His Majesty's first friend after all, and his position in His Majesty's heart must be very special. The slave is thinking that His Majesty still hopes to continue to communicate with General Chen. Right? If that's the case, Your Majesty should stop ignoring General Chen."

In fact, Xiao Lizi had been thinking of persuading him a few days ago, but he respected Jin Chen's thoughts more in his heart, and since Gao Ping was also in the carriage, Jin Chen remained silent, so he remained silent.

However, Xiao Lizi could feel that Jin Chen was not happy these days, and he even noticed that Jin Chen would unconsciously look in the direction of the carriage when he was occasionally in a trance, obviously worrying about Chen Xiuzhu's matter .

Xiao Lizi couldn't see his majesty frowning because of some things, so he thought: If your majesty is not easy to speak, then let me do it. As long as the ending is good, who cares? What is his process like?

"...I really want to keep in touch with him."

There is nothing to hide, and Jin Chen doesn't bother to cover it up.

"But the anger in my heart is still there."

He said it frankly, his tone was as straightforward as ever.

"Your Majesty, I dare you, General Chen's worries are normal. I believe that whoever is in that position must have the same doubts."

Xiao Lizi thought that Jin Chen's "anger has not subsided" was referring to the fact that Chen Xiuzhu called out "Your Majesty".

"..."

"Pfft!"

Jin Chen froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing out loud.

"what are you thinking."

He tapped Xiao Lizi's head with his fan, feeling quite helpless.

"Am I such a stingy person? Naturally, I have considered everything you said."

"Ah? Then why does Your Majesty..."

Xiao Lizi covered his head and looked at Jin Chen curiously. He obviously didn't understand why Jin Chen didn't want to forgive Chen Xiuzhu even though he wasn't angry about it anymore.

"Who told him to really make you kneel down?"

Jin Chen tapped Xiao Lizi's head again, seeing his stunned look, he felt angry.

"Tell me about you. My mother and I have long since avoided your kneeling ceremony. In the past few years, you have never knelt down to me. Why did you do this to him that day? I have to wait again. Go to him for a few days, otherwise I will not be relieved no matter how I think about it."

"His Majesty……"

Xiao Lizi stared blankly at Jin Chen, his eyes blushed a little.

"Your Majesty, slave, slave is just a eunuch, it's not worth it for you to do this for slave."

"Slaves are not slaves, and eunuchs are not eunuchs. If I say you are worth it, then you are worth it. How old are you, why do you still cry so much? Hurry up and clean up your tears. When the time comes, get out of the carriage and let others see I thought I was bullying you in the carriage."

"Your Majesty didn't bully the servant!"

Xiao Lizi wiped his tears with his sleeve, sniffed and muttered a rebuttal.

"Okay, I didn't bully you."

Jin Chen was a little dumbfounded, but fortunately, Xiao Lizi was not entangled in this issue, and after drying his tears, he followed Jin Chen out of the car.

The place where they got off the bus was still a hill away from the county seat, because Gao Ping said that the ground would be full of water after climbing over the hill, and the hill didn't look very high, so Jin Chen decided to keep a few people behind. Take turns guarding the carriage and horses, and the rest go on foot.

Originally, when he set off, Chen Xiuzhu wanted to make a simple chariot out of wood for people to carry Jin Chen away, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Jin Chen sternly refused.

In Jin Chen's words, he came to take responsibility for his own mistakes on this southern tour, not to enjoy the blessings. He took the carriage all the way because he couldn't keep up with his physical strength. It was a little too comfortable.

Xiao Lizi agreed with Chen Xiuzhu's statement, but Jin Chen objected, so he couldn't say anything.What's more, Jin Chen changed into his riding outfit yesterday, so Chen Xiuzhu had no choice but to give up, and arranged for a small group of soldiers to carry food, and set off under the leadership of Gao Ping.

It was already noon when the group officially arrived at the county seat.

As Gao Ping said, the interface between the county seat and the outside world has been submerged by a flood that is less than half the height of a person. It is conceivable how high the water is at the source of the water—that is, the village where Gao Ping lives. amazing.

There was a bit of worry in Jin Chen's eyes.

He immediately asked Chen Xiuzhu to bring enough troops to copy the local government as quickly as possible, and at the same time sent some people to carry food with Gaoping to various villages to distribute, and he and Xiao Lizi went to nearby people to inquire about the situation. the situation of the day.

——The result was as bad as expected.

In just over half a month since Gao Ping left, the number of people who died in the city alone has risen from double digits to triple digits, not to mention the poorer countryside. Every day there will be news of another death.Now people in the whole south are basically in a state of panic. Could it be that there is still a bit of conscience in the bottom of my heart, and I am afraid that a phenomenon similar to changing children to eat will appear.

——Of course, if Jin Chen hadn't come here, it probably wouldn't be long before this phenomenon would actually happen.

When Jin Chen thought of this possibility, his heart sank.

You know, in Song Heng's memory, the name Gao Ping has never appeared. That is to say, Song Heng, who was still the emperor at that time, had never met Gao Ping, so naturally it was impossible to know what happened in the south.

Moreover, the mobilization of grain and silver from the household department must require an imperial edict, but Song Heng never wrote a similar imperial edict from beginning to end. Does this mean that Feng Yizhong at that time did not know about the southern land from Gao Ping? thing?

Yes.

Jin Chen still remembers that when he and Gao Ping met for the first time, Gao Ping's state was that he wanted to sneak into the palace and kill the emperor. He will soon be discovered by the inspecting guards and killed as an assassin, right?

Did Gao Ping in the previous life end up like this?

So what were the consequences of the flooding in the south in the last life?

For a while, Jin Chen didn't dare to think about it.

Little Lizi obviously thought of this as well. He looked down at the flood that almost reached his lower abdomen, and deep fear flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, Mr. Gao found us at that time, otherwise..."

Otherwise, no one has the courage to imagine how many innocent people in the south will be taken away by this natural disaster.

"Okay, don't think about what's there or what's not. Now that I'm here, I guarantee that none of those things will happen."

Jin Chen hooked the corners of his mouth confidently.

"Let's go. After such a long time, the official's house must have been raided."

"Hey, good!"

Hearing Jin Chen's words, Xiao Lizi's heart suddenly became stable. He calmed down his emotions, followed Jin Chen and walked towards the government with him dripping water.

With His Majesty here, everything will be fine, Xiao Lizi firmly believed.

This kind of firm belief is further improved when seeing government officials who are unable to move because they are being held tightly by soldiers.

"If...Your Majesty, all the officials in the government have been detained."

Chen Xiuzhu was about to send someone to invite Jin Chen, when he raised his head when he heard footsteps, his eyes lit up.He originally wanted to call him 'Ruochen', but he changed his name halfway because there were so many outsiders present.

"it is good."

Jin Chen nodded, and went straight to the most gorgeously dressed person among those being detained, and stood still in front of him.

"Head up."

He ordered.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The man raised his head and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"You are the county magistrate here? Your house..."

Jin Chen's eyes turned around.

"It's really different from those of the common people outside. It looks very luxurious."

The county magistrate shuddered.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty will never dare again!"

While begging for mercy, the county magistrate secretly complained in his heart.

Although the place under his jurisdiction is not the most marginal corner of the Chilong Kingdom, it is also extremely far away from the capital. The so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, which is probably the case.The county magistrate is used to doing evil here, and no one has ever been able to control him. He couldn't figure out why the emperor who was far away in the capital would come here suddenly, and it happened to be at such a time.

It must be those unscrupulous people who went to the capital to file a complaint, and waited for him, and when he survived this calamity, he must...

"Why, thinking about taking ordinary people to the knife afterwards?"

Although the cruelty in the county magistrate's eyes flashed by, how could Jin Chen fail to catch it?There was a bit of coldness in his heart, but his tone was unhurried, as if he was just casually chatting about family affairs.

"..."

The county magistrate's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, Jin Chen was right.

"Oh! Sure enough, he is a fool."

Jin Chen sneered, turned his head, and stopped looking at his disheartened expression.

"General Zhongwu, please ask someone to show them to me. After I solve the flood problem first, I will come to settle accounts after autumn."

"Yes!"
