However, the only thing to be thankful for is that after a brief search, it was found that the number of residents near Zhuqiao Street was very small compared to the number of residents in other streets. If the disaster-stricken areas were included, there were no more than fifty people at most.

After handing me this report, Captain Yuan has organized people to rescue the people. As for the damage to the sewers, he will personally confirm it."

Although he failed to help in time of need, after seeing Zhang San's strength, Wu Yingyuan (the old man of the Wu family) became more determined in his previous thoughts.

In order to show his value in front of Zhang San, after listening to Gu Xuanyan's report, Mr. Wu on the side finally couldn't help but speak.

"You don't have to feel guilty, sir. If you hadn't fought the ghost plague, I'm afraid the affected areas wouldn't just be Zhuqiao Street.

However, even if the disaster victims could be rescued, they would inevitably suffer from hunger and cold due to the collapse of houses.

Your Excellency does not need to worry about this. In order to stabilize the chaos in Taiping County, my Wu family will take the lead in joining forces with other chambers of commerce to jointly raise a batch of emergency supplies to solve the urgent problem!"

How else can we say that he is a wise old man? Since his debut, Wu Yingyuan has only had a few lines.

But just these few simple words not only successfully completed the plan that was proposed to Zhang San, but also if Zhang San could agree to his proposal, the Wu family would become the decision-maker of all the major chambers of commerce in Taiping County.

In today's Taiping County, the City God Li Wenzhong is injured and is not seeing guests. After this battle, County Magistrate Fan will definitely be implicated in the ghost plague, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will be invited to the imperial prison for tea.

Even if he was lucky enough to save his life, his future career would have come to an end.

If you calculate it carefully, Zhang San is now the most powerful person in Taiping County. Although the Wu family is a wealthy family in Taiping County, under normal circumstances, it is not certain that they can make friends with such a person.

Now, just by paying some supplies, you can get the favor of this adult. If you calculate it this way, the Wu family has undoubtedly gained a huge advantage.

If Zhang San was really young and frivolous, he might have agreed to such praise in a fit of excitement.

However, after going through several rounds of games, Wu Yingyuan must be crazy if he expects to use this method to deal with him.

However, just as Zhang San was about to show his fangs, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Xuanyan's profile. If he really said that, she would probably be unhappy.

In this world, Zhang San can ignore anyone's feelings except Yaya, but after the two got married, Gu Xuanyan gradually walked into that special circle.

After pinching his tired brows with his hands and hesitating for a few times, Zhang San slowly spoke.

"Now that the flood season (spring and peach blossom flood) is approaching, the repair of the sewer is extremely important. The Wu family will take the lead in this matter and draft a charter as soon as possible. If there is no problem after I review it, we can start the construction.

As for the relief supplies for the disaster victims, Fu...Xuan...Miss Gu, would you mind taking the trouble?"

Listening to Zhang San's tentative words, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, Gu Xuanyan would definitely have laughed out loud. She was indeed acting like a little girl before, and actually regarded Zhang San as an ordinary man who was pretending to be cultured.

She didn't even think about it. If she really liked a certain type of guy, would she still sign a marriage contract with Zhang San?

But she had to act fully. Since she had already shown her anger, she must not let down those wrinkles. She, Gu Xuanyan, would never give up until she had squeezed Zhang San dry!

"I understand."

"polite!"

Different from Wu Yingyuan's politeness, after spitting out these two words coldly, Gu Xuanyan stood aside without saying a word.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see her attitude. If you don't have official business, don't bother her.

Although no one knows what happened between these two monsters, Wu Yingyuan, as a cousin, seems very embarrassed at this moment. However, for the sake of showing his presence, he has to stay here even if he has to bite the bullet.

Just when Mr. Wu was feeling uneasy, Yuan Ergou, who had arranged the search and rescue work, finally arrived.

"Sir, your knife!"

"How about it?"

Zhang San's words were as concise as ever. Especially after seeing Yuan Ergou's sad expression, he had already prepared himself mentally.

"It's hard to explain. Because of the human-skin ghosts, almost all three main roads, including some branch roads, were destroyed. Fortunately, Zhuqiao Street is located at a higher altitude. As long as the repairs are done in time, the impact on the downstream will be minimized."

As a veteran in the officialdom, Yuan Ergou naturally knows what he can say and what he cannot say.

To be honest, the main responsibility for the serious damage to Zhuqiao Street actually lies with Zhang San. After all, it was he who did it, but he didn't think so about some things.

If Zhang San hadn't taken action, perhaps Zhuqiao Street would have been preserved intact, but what would happen next? I'm afraid the entire Taiping County would have become a den of ghosts!

What's more, the other party is his savior. Whether for public or private reasons, Yuan Ergou will leave room for him when writing the report.

He is already old, and he will have no hope of pursuing either martial arts or a career in politics in this lifetime, but Zhang San is different.

He is destined to be a figure that goes down in history, so there must not be any stains on the road to this young man's rise. If things are really impossible, he must pass the blame to others in time.

And this kind of dirty work is most suitable for a small character like him!

"Sir, I, Ergou, am a rough man and I don't know how to say fancy words, so I just said it directly. Now that it has come to this, shouldn't Sir Fan give an explanation?"

No matter whether it was Gu Xuanyan or Wu Yingyuan, after hearing what Yuan Ergou said, they all looked at him specially. It turned out that he was the loyal dog under Zhang San, and they would pay more attention to him in the future.

Explain? Of course they have to. As a country ruled by law, ordinary people who collude with ghosts need to face the punishment of confiscation of property and extermination of clans, let alone officials of the Jin Dynasty? In addition to suppressing ghosts, the Jingye Prison also leaves a place for these officials who have made mistakes, where they will experience a feeling worse than death.

In this mysterious and strange world, death is sometimes the greatest mercy. In order to warn the world, Da Jin often imposes death penalty on those who have committed heinous crimes. Even if their bodies are dead, Da Jin will suppress their souls in purgatory.

As long as the Great Jin Dynasty survives, they will never be reborn!

What Yuan Ergou meant by this sentence was actually to remind Zhang San to capture Fan Jin and then put the blame on him. After all, to the Jingye Division, Zhang San was "one of their own", and as long as he was sent to the imperial prison, the matter would be settled.

This was nothing wrong, but what Zhang San said next shocked everyone.

"Give him my knife!"
