Chapter 459: Proposing a Flood Control Plan

"Madam, there seems to be a dead person over there!" Qiuyue was shocked.

Tangli stepped forward.

Qiuyue quickly pulled her back: "Madam..."

Tangli patted her hands: "It's okay."

Tang Li walked up to the lying person. The person was dirty and covered with mud. His hair was mixed with mud and stuck to his face and neck. His face could not be seen clearly. He could only tell that he was a man.

Tangli stretched out his hand and touched it under his nose.

"Still breathing."

Tangli looked at him and said, "Maybe he's a disaster victim..."

Disaster victims?

Qiuyue asked nervously, "Madam, shall I go find the doctor?"

"Where can we find a doctor at this time?" Tang Li asked.

Doctors are the scarcest now. A few are in Chunmian Villa, some have been taken to the countryside by Wei Qing, and the remaining doctors are extremely busy. You may not be able to find a doctor even if you go to several clinics.

"Go back to the county government office and call for a carriage," said Tang Li.

"Yes." Qiuyue hurried back to the county government office.

After a while, a carriage arrived and two servants carried the unconscious man onto the carriage and sent him back to the county government office.

The servants carried him into the room and changed his clothes.

Qiuyue boiled some hot water and wiped his face clean. Only then did she realize that he was actually a young man in his twenties, and quite handsome.

"Red face, fever, cough, white tongue coating, it's a cold." Tang Li said.

She had been with Doctor Su for a while, and although she couldn't say she knew much about medicine, she still understood the basic diagnoses.

Tang Li looked at Qiu Yue and said, "I'll write a prescription. You can ask someone to get the medicine, and then boil it and give it to him."

"Yes, ma'am. Ma'am, please go and rest."

Tang Li nodded. She was indeed tired. After writing down the prescription, she went back to her room.

At night, Qiuyue prepared some medicine and gave it to the man to drink. By midnight, his fever had subsided a little.

The medicine my wife prescribed actually worked! It's amazing!

In the eyes of this little maid, Tangli is almost omnipotent.

The next morning, Qiuyue went to boil the medicine again. When she came back with the black medicine juice, she saw that the man had woken up.

"Are you awake?!"

The man struggled to get up, and Qiuyue hurried over.

"Just lie down first, don't get up."

The man looked at Qiuyue, confused: "Where is this?"

The man was very handsome. Qiuyue blushed slightly when he stared at her. "This is the county government office."

"County government office?!" The man was surprised. "Why am I here?"

"It was our wife who saved you." Qiuyue said.

"Who is your wife?" the man asked doubtfully.

"My wife is the wife of the imperial envoy, Lord Wu. Don't ask so many questions for now. Just drink the medicine." Qiuyue said.

"The Imperial Envoy's wife?" The man's eyes lit up. "Can I see this lady?"

"Drink the medicine first." Seeing his burning eyes, as if he couldn't wait even a moment, Qiuyue said, "Then drink the medicine yourself. I'll go find the madam."

Qiuyue handed him the medicine and ran out.

Soon, Qiuyue found Tangli.

As soon as Tang Li entered the room, the man stared at her and bowed to her.

"Mrs. Wu."

"You are still sick, don't stand, sit down quickly." Tang Li said.

"Yes, sit down quickly!" Qiuyue ran over to check the medicine bowl, and found that the bowl was empty, so she stopped nagging.

"Are you looking for me?" Tang Li asked.

"Thank you, madam, for saving my life. I often see you," the man said. "I am a student of Master Song. I have been studying the floods in Yizhou for many years. I have a plan for flood control and would like to present it to the Imperial Envoy."

Chang Yu approached many people, but was rejected by all of them. Hearing that the new imperial envoy was very decisive, he rushed back to Hegu County, wanting to ask for an audience with the imperial envoy and give it a try. What if the imperial envoy accepted his proposal?

However, he didn't expect that due to the long journey and the rain, he caught a cold and fainted on the road.

Studied under Master Song? !

Is this the Mr. Song she had heard of?

Chang Yu...this name is so familiar.

"Madam..." Qiuyue tugged at the corner of Tangli's clothes.

Ever since she heard his surname was Chang, the little maid looked at Chang Yu not with shyness but with a slight hostility.

"What's wrong?" Tang Li asked.

"His last name is Chang..." Qiuyue whispered.

Tang Li remembered that when she was chatting with Fan Yuexi before, she mentioned that the person she admired most was Mr. Song, and the person she hated most was the Chang family. Chang Yu also had the surname Chang. Could it be that...

Chang Yu felt Qiuyue's hostility. In fact, he had become accustomed to this hostility and disgust over the years.

Just because his last name is Chang, and because his brother is...

"Madam, my brother Chang Yan and I both studied under Mr. Song." Chang Yu said.

"Chang Yan? Are you really Chang Yan's younger brother? Chang Yan is not worthy of being Mr. Song's student!" Qiuyue glared at Chang Yu, her eyes full of hostility.

The Chang family doesn’t deserve it!

After Mr. Song passed away, Chang Yan became the main person in charge of flood control. He overturned Mr. Song's original flood control strategy, which caused the flood to come down. Her grandfather and several uncles died in that flood!

The name Chang Yan is despised in their Hegu County.

The Chang family was also driven out of Hegu County.

I really didn't expect that the Chang family would have the nerve to come back!

Chang Yu felt a little disappointed when he saw the little maid's reaction.

As soon as anyone knew of his birth, he became a disaster star and no one was interested in his flood control strategies.

Tangli did not leave with a wave of his sleeves.

"Show me your plan for flood control." Tang Li said.

Chang Yu first searched his body and found that he had changed his clothes. His face turned pale immediately.

"Where are my things?"

"Is this what you are looking for?" Qiuyue handed something wrapped in brown paper to Chang Yu.

Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the thing: "Yes."

He carefully tore open the kraft paper. The thing was wrapped in several layers of kraft paper. When it was all opened, several sheets of paper inside were revealed.

Chang Yu handed the paper to Tang Li.

Tangli took it.

Yesterday, Chang Yu was soaked all over, but he protected these pieces of paper very well and they didn't get wet at all.

"I'll come back to you after I've taken a look." Tang Li said.

Chang Yu nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the papers.

"What? Are you afraid that our lady will damage your torn paper?" Qiuyue said indignantly.

"Madam, this water control strategy is the result of my many years of research..." Chang Yu said.

"Don't worry, I won't break it." Tang Li said.

Tangli looked serious and Changyu nodded.

Tangli took the papers and left.

The master and the servant went out.

"Madam, don't believe him! People with the surname Chang are all bad people, he must be kicked out!" Qiuyue said.

"You were rushing to take care of him before, but now you want to drive him away. How come you change your face faster than the weather?" Tang Li said with a smile.

"Madam, he is a bad guy." Qiuyue said.

"Qiuyue, you can't just categorize good people as bad. His brother may be a bad person, but he may not be." Tangli said, "You are prejudiced."

Qiuyue looked thoughtful.

Is she wrong?

But everyone hates the Chang family and says that all members of the Chang family are bad people.
