After giving the instructions, he continued to walk towards the tower.
Xu Jiang stepped forward to stop him, his tone becoming even more stern. "Sir, this dangerous situation can no longer be delayed. What's the point of just sending two people to investigate? If we don't dispatch personnel to dredge the river, it will be too late when the flood arrives."
Wu Qingye also advised: "Master Qian, what Manager Xu said makes sense. We can't afford to miss this elegant gathering, but we can't afford to miss this dangerous opportunity."
Lord Qian was a man who cared deeply about his reputation. He was immediately enraged by Xu Jiang's lecture. He pushed Xu Jiang aside and said, "I'm a doctor from the Water Department. Do I really need a vulgar woman like you to teach me?"
Xu Jiang was pushed unexpectedly by him, and her body lost balance. She was about to fall down, but a strong hand supported her waist from behind, allowing her to stand firmly.
This was too much. Wu Qingye was about to reprimand when a figure emerged from behind Xu Jiang and grabbed Lord Qian by the collar.
Mr. Qian was startled and was about to curse when he saw a cold and smelly face under the straw hat.
Why does this face look familiar?
He craned his neck back and looked from a distance before he recognized who was in front of him.
"Lou, Lou, Lou..." He suddenly became like a mynah bird whose tongue had just been cut, and could not call out the name at all.
Lou Yunchun's voice was like an icicle piercing his brain. "Master Qian, human life is at stake. If you neglect your duty and cause disaster, do you think you can keep your head?"
"I, I, I understand. I'll go right away!" Lord Qian finally squeezed out a complete sentence.
Lou Yunchun put his hand on his neck and pushed him into the group of servants, who hurriedly supported him.
Many people were coming and going. Lord Qian staggered to his feet, glanced around, then tugged at his clothes with shaking fingers and shouted angrily to his attendants, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave! If you miss the danger, you will be in danger."
After saying that, he ran away with his feet turned outward.
Wu Qingye was silent for a while, then said to Xu Jiang, "You guys are really brave."
Xu Jiang was proud of it. "Of course." Then she said to Lou Yunchun, "Let's go find Liu Sizhen and ask him to suspend the elegant meeting and help evacuate the villagers."
Wu Qingye sighed, "I think it's difficult. Even the people from the Ministry of Works are so slow and evasive, let alone others? Besides, Liu Sizhen took the trouble to organize this elegant gathering and invited so many princes and ministers. How could he easily cancel the banquet?"
"If there's a flood, won't his Willow Garden also be affected?"
"Liuyuan is located on a high ground, surrounded by ditches and farmland beyond. Even if it were to be damaged by a disaster, the small loss would be nothing to him. Besides, there's no flood yet, so we can't persuade him with just our insignificant influence."
Moreover, these powerful families headed by the Liu family have no sympathy for the hard work of the people and do not care about their lives.
But Wu Qingye couldn't say the following words while standing on the Liu family's land.
Xu Jiang felt that what Wu Qingye said made some sense.
Lou Yunchun stepped forward and used his bookcase to push Wu Qingye away a few steps. He then lowered his voice and said to Xu Jiang, "Don't worry. After Lord Qian leaves, if he finds out the situation is true, he will send people to investigate the hidden dangers and settle the villagers as soon as possible. This matter concerns his future, and he dare not neglect it."
Xu Jiang has done everything she can in this matter. If she interferes further and attracts other people's attention, it might cause trouble.
"I understand." After hearing what Lou Yunchun said, Xu Jiang calmed down and asked softly, "Are we still going to this elegant gathering?"
"Go." He went to Lai Yahui not only because he was worried about Xu Jiang, but also for other purposes, so he had to go.
Wu Qingye, who was standing by, saw the two of them whispering to each other and felt something strange in his heart. It seemed that the master and servant were too familiar with each other.
He stared at the bookcase in front of him, thinking of how the workers had just protected Xu Jiang, and suddenly he understood.
"Then let's go in." Xu Jiang took a look inside, "It's a good opportunity to see the style of this wealthy family."
Lou Yunchun stepped aside to let Xu Jiang go first. Wu Qingye was about to follow but was blocked by him.
Wu Qingye went over the plots of the story he had read in his mind, and finally picked out a tangle that was unacceptable to the world. He clasped his hands together and muttered, "So that's it."
Then he looked at Lou Yunchun with some sympathy in his eyes, but after thinking deeply, his face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter one.
It is obvious that he is the one who should be sympathized with more.
