Chapter 395 Something Big Happened
Lu Li smiled and said nothing.
She waved at Long Aotian, motioning him to put his ear over here.
She told him about the corruption of Xu Zhiyang, the magistrate of Du'an County.
"Find an opportunity to sneak into the county government office tonight and find evidence. We will have Commander Qin deal with him tomorrow."
"Yes, I will definitely live up to your trust, young master." Long Aotian agreed passionately.
This is the first task assigned to him by the Crown Princess, and he must complete it beautifully.
"Take Lu Xuan with you. He is small in stature and can be used to confuse the enemy by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west." Lu Li lowered his voice and added.
As for why Lu Xuan was not allowed to find evidence.
It’s because Lu Xuan is just like her when she was a child, he doesn’t like reading and can’t read.
"Xuan'er, you must listen to Brother Aotian tonight. Do whatever he tells you to do. Do you remember?" Lu Li instructed.
"I'll remember that." Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
Qu Songnian and Lu Can on the side felt a little aggrieved.
Why do others have tasks, but they can only wait foolishly on the side?
But they couldn't ask directly in front of so many people.
After finishing the meal, Lu Li led everyone to Lu Can and Lu Xuan's room to wait for news.
After closing the door, Lu Can wanted to ask the Ninth Princess aggrievedly why she didn't let him help.
But Qu Songnian got there first.
"Master, what happened?"
Lu Li then told the county magistrate about his corruption.
No one questioned her.
After all, the Crown Princess had the ability to predict the future, and she could always predict it accurately, and everyone in the court knew about it.
"Then how do you plan to arrange it?" Qu Songnian asked again.
Lu Li then told him her plan.
Lu Can:!
Even Lu Xuan was assigned a task, so what about him?
Why doesn't he have it?
Could it be that the Ninth Princess thinks he is not as useful as Lu Xuan?
"Brother, I can help too." Lu Can was angry and aggrieved.
"I know that you will be needed to help evacuate the villagers. After all, the local county magistrate is not a good person." Lu Li smiled and comforted his brother.
Hearing this, Lu Can finally smiled.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."
Lu Li used the melon-eating system to look at all the villages below the dam.
There are five villages under the dam, among which Xiaohe Village is located in a low-lying area.
If the flood breaks the dam, their village will be the first to be flooded.
They have to go to higher ground to shelter from the rain.
And after the flood, how to resettle and compensate the people affected by the disaster? These are all things that require a lot of effort, one by one.
"Qu Songnian, you will be responsible for arranging the aftermath." Lu Li handed this difficult task to him.
"Okay." Qu Songnian nodded seriously.
He attaches great importance to the safety of the people.
Not long after, Qin Xiao came back in the rain.
The raincoat on his body was dripping with water, so he took it off and handed it to his subordinates, then went upstairs to report the situation.
"Young Master is very smart. There is indeed a problem with the dike in Du'an County. According to my subordinates' estimation, if the rain continues, it will collapse at most by tomorrow morning." Qin Xiao said with a serious look on his face.
"We can't wait any longer. Go and evacuate the people immediately." Lu Li stood up suddenly.
It would be dangerous if we wait until tonight to find evidence and then let the people leave.
Now we have to change our plans.
"But we are outsiders, and the people may not listen to us." Lu Can frowned.
"Let Xu Zhiyang go. He is the local official, and the people will definitely listen to him." Lu Li decided to go to Xu Zhiyang's house and capture him now.
"Will he listen to us?" Lu Can was dumbfounded.
"You have to listen even if you don't want to." Lu Li sneered.
"Long Aotian, Qu Songnian, take Lu Xuan with you to buy food, so that the people won't go hungry after the disaster."
"Yes." Long Aotian and Qu Songnian answered in unison.
"Can'er, go find a doctor and prepare some medicines to dispel colds and reduce fever, so that no one will get sick from the flood." Lu Li looked at Lu Can who was eager to try.
"Okay, big brother." Lu Can nodded immediately.
"Commander Qin, come with me to the county government office and meet this corrupt official in person." Lu Li looked at Qin Xiao.
"yes."
So everyone took action.
"It's raining so hard, my guests, please don't go out, lest you catch a cold." The innkeeper saw that they were about to go out and reminded them hastily.
When Lu Li saw him, she used the melon-eating system to find out that he was from Xiaohe Village.
She immediately decided to ask him for a favor.
"Shopkeeper, are you from Xiaohe Village?"
"Hey, how did you know that?" The shopkeeper widened his eyes.
"You have two sons and two daughters, and your eldest grandson was just born two months ago, right?" Lu Li continued.
"Young Master, you are amazing! You are absolutely right!" The shopkeeper looked at him as if he were a hermit and almost knelt down to Lu Li.
"To be honest, I know a little about physiognomy. I looked at your face and found that your loved ones will die early. After some calculations, I found that there might be a flood in the next two days. You should go home early and let your relatives and villagers move out of the village early." Lu Li lied.
"No way. The government just ordered people to repair the dam last year. It's brand new and very solid." The shopkeeper was a little hesitant.
"You and I have a destiny, and I can't bear to see you lose your loved ones, so I'm telling you at the risk of leaking the secret. If you don't believe me, just pretend I said nothing." Lu Li held the umbrella and left with Qin Xiao without saying anything more.
The shopkeeper pondered over what Lu Li had said, feeling uneasy.
If Lu Li insisted on asking him to go home, he might not believe it, but when Lu Li said it and left, he believed it instead.
"Forget it. It's better to believe it than not. That young master doesn't look like a bad person. He can tell the situation at home right away. I'd better go back to the village and ask them to move out first."
The shopkeeper muttered to himself, and without further hesitation, he put on his raincoat and hurried home.
As soon as he got home, he immediately invited his second son to go home with him.
"Erniu, come on, follow me back to the village and bring your mother, your elder brother and his wife, your eldest nephew, and your two younger sisters to the county."
"Dad, we can't accommodate so many people here." Wang Erniu looked confused.
Why did Dad bring everyone home for no reason? It was raining heavily outside.
He stayed here to live with his father because he was working as a carpenter apprentice in the county.
Why is the whole family coming now?
"Something big has happened!" The shopkeeper looked at the rain outside which was getting heavier and heavier, and his heart began to pound when he thought of Lu Li's words.
"What's the big deal?" Wang Erniu asked hurriedly.
The shopkeeper then told Lu Li everything he had said.
Wang Erniu didn't think much of it. "They have been staying at the inn for so many days, they must have found out everything about our family. They are just liars. There is no such a young fortune teller."
"They didn't even ask me for money, how can they cheat me?" The shopkeeper glared at his son and slapped him hard on the back.
"Stop talking so much and hurry up."
"You're right." Wang Erniu nodded and quickly followed his father's steps.
At the same time.
Lu Li and Qin Xiao also came to the county government of Du'an County.
