Chapter 2490: Razed to the Ground [Thank You for Your Monthly Votes]
If this is true, it will be a blessing to all people and the northwest.
Although Mr. Shangguan Ge was not optimistic about Da Chu, he did not want another disturbance in the northwest... Qin Mu controlled too many troops, and he was willing to settle down and guard the border in the northwest, which was beneficial to everyone.
Shangguange Lao suppressed his thoughts and shouted: "Give me books, seals, jade, and clothes!"
When the noble wives of Dachu were conferred, they would have edicts, small seals, jade articles, and uniforms from head to toe. These things were also brought with them and presented to them one by one by the accompanying officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.
In order to receive these things, Gu Jinli knelt several times. By the time it was finally over, the sky was already dark.
However, the entire Qinhou Mansion was brightly lit, and Qin Sanlang stood beside Gu Jinli throughout the whole process, with a proud smile on his face... The honor he wanted to give Xiaoyu finally came true today.
"Ouch, ouch, cool, cool, cool, want it!" Erlang saw that Gu Jinli had gotten a lot of strange things, and wanted to rush over to ask for them. After being stopped by Nurse Hong, he was very angry and started to take a deep breath...
"Er Wolf, be good, don't cry. Daddy will take you to find your mother." Qin Sanlang already knew the signs before this cub started crying. When he saw him taking a deep breath, he hurriedly stopped him.
After hearing this, Nurse Hong let go of the two wolves.
"Haha, pinch!" After the second wolf was able to move, he happily ran towards Qin Sanlang, but stopped halfway and shouted to the big wolf in Nanny Lin's arms: "Brother, brother."
Come and see my mother's stuff.
"Put down the big wolf." Qin Sanlang ordered.
"Yes." Nurse Lin quickly put the big wolf down.
"Ha~" The big wolf was very happy and walked towards his younger brother. The two little guys held hands and rushed towards Qin Sanlang.
Qin Sanlang, with amazing arm strength, picked up the two children and walked towards Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli gave them a small seal that was more resistant to falling.
"Ouch, ouch, brother!" The second wolf took the small seal and threw it with the big wolf like a bag.
It's just that the little guy threw it incorrectly and the big wolf didn't catch it. There was a snap and the little seal fell to the ground.
Gu Jinli picked it up and continued to play with them.
The veins in Shangguange Lao's forehead jumped when he saw it... It's a good thing that His Majesty didn't see it, otherwise he would be really angry. This is Madam Hou's seal, and you actually gave it to your children to play with.
And the Marquis of Qin, what kind of child are you holding? A manly man would care for his grandchildren but not his children, do you understand? !
But looking at it, I feel that such a happy family is very enviable... Forget it, I am too tired from the journey, so I won't care about it with them.
but……
"Marquis Qin, I have something to ask in detail. Marquis Qin, please come and speak." Shangguan Ge said.
"Sure." Qin Sanlang nodded in agreement and said to Gu Jinli, "Xiaoyu will take the two children back first. I will go home soon."
"Okay." Gu Jinli responded and coaxed Erlang with Qin Sanlang for a few words before the little guy was willing to let go of his father.
"Pinch, Dudu, rice!" Erlang raised his head and told his father that he was coming back for dinner because he was hungry.
Qin Sanlang smiled and nodded: "Okay, daddy will be back soon to have dinner with you. Both the big wolf and the two wolves must be good."
After saying that, he touched the heads of the two little guys, glanced at Gu Jinli, and took Shangguan Ge Lao to the study to talk.
As soon as he entered the study, Mr. Shangguange asked: "Qin Hou, why are you doing disaster prevention here? Where did the news about the earthquake in the near future come from? This kind of news should not be taken lightly, let alone disaster prevention. If you do it easily, it will mess up people’s hearts!”
People are most afraid of disasters. Qin Mu's aggressive approach to disaster prevention will scare everyone into trouble.
Then he asked: "But the rumors spread by the thieves are deliberately spreading with the intention of destroying the stability of Chu?"
Qin Sanlang shook his head: "There will be an earthquake in the near future, and it has nothing to do with the bandits."
He told Mr. Shangguange about the escape of the rats.
He added: "Mr. Shangguange should know that the escape of rats is one of the precursors of the earthquake. Recently, the scouts came to report that two more rats have escaped near Longshan Mansion. I am afraid that there will be an earth dragon in the near future. . However, if a disaster occurs, there will inevitably be casualties and human lives are involved. I can only order all the prefectures in the northwest to take disaster prevention measures in advance. If it is too late, it will be too late."
It makes sense, but Mr. Shangguange still doesn't want to believe it.
He raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, closed his eyes for a while to calm himself down, and then said: "It's up to you, but if something happens because of this, and no disaster occurs in the end, you have to bear the responsibility yourself."
There was no disaster, but trouble occurred because of the disaster prevention order. The court would definitely not help Qin Sanlang, but would only take the opportunity to punish him.
Qin Sanlang said: "Before giving the order, I have already anticipated the consequences. Mr. Shangguan Ge does not need to worry about these things."
If he dares to give orders, he will naturally dare to take responsibility.
After listening to this, Mr. Shangguan Ge didn't say anything else. He looked at Qin Sanlang again. Not only did he have sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, he was quite imposing, but he was also very capable. He was kind to his wife and children. He was really a good young man.
I thought of my granddaughter again.
It's a pity that if Qin Mu hadn't gotten married yet, he would have shamelessly proposed marriage to Qin Mu for Sister Ya... Sister Ya was already over 20 and she hadn't gotten engaged yet. He was really worried to death!
This sister Ya is Zong Zhengya, and Shangguan Ge still doesn't know Zong Zheng's plan until now, but Zong Zheng and Wei Er are already planning to take advantage of him.
As for the matter of King Qingma, Mr. Shangguange did not ask about it, because when he left the capital with the reward, the secret report that King Qingma was going to take the two counties back to Dachu had not yet been sent to the capital.
"Shangguange Lao has worked hard all the way. Let's go to the envoy's mansion to rest first. If anything happens, we will discuss it tomorrow." Qin Sanlang hurried back to eat with his wife and children. He called Zhang Zhong and asked him to escort Shangguange Lao and others to the city. The ambassador's office.
This is a border town, so a diplomatic residence was specially built to accommodate officials who came to negotiate from the capital and envoys issued by the emperor.
"Thank you, Marquis Qin." Mr. Shangguange was really tired. He followed Zhang Zhong out of the study and took the officials who were accompanying him, as well as the eunuchs and maids in the inner palace, to the envoy's mansion.
The ambassador's mansion was well built, and the house where Shangguan Ge lived had a new warm stove, but he didn't sleep well. He spent the whole night worrying about the possibility of an earthquake.
The next day, he called Xin Jianjun, Uncle Cao, the old craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and the old livestock masters, and asked them in detail about the earthquake.
Regarding natural disasters, Uncle Cao did not dare to talk nonsense. He only said that if there was a disaster, the Cao family would do their best to provide food and relief.
Xin Jianjun said: "It is better to believe that the disaster happened than to take any chances. Let's do disaster prevention first. If there is no earthquake in Dachu in a month, we will wait."
But the old master who raised the livestock said: "I don't dare to hide it from the adults. I'm afraid this is true. Recently, at night, the animals have been very unstable, and they often break into the fence."
Animals will only venture into the fence when they sense great danger and are extremely uneasy.
After hearing this, Mr. Shangguange became even more worried and told him: "Continue to guard the livestock camp at night. If cattle, horses and mules break into the fence, report it immediately."
"Yes." The old master agreed.
In the middle of the night, another break-in occurred in the livestock camp outside the city. A large number of cattle and horses rushed through the guardrail. The soldiers guarding the cattle, horses and mules chased them until dawn before retrieving the animals that had broken through the guardrail and escaped.
This matter was quickly reported to Mr. Shangguan Ge.
Shangguange's heart sank. It seemed that an earthquake was really coming.
However, he was wrong. The earthquake was not coming, but had already come. Just last night, a major earthquake occurred in Zhongzhou, the Central Plains. Yongtai Mansion, which was built next to Chidao and divided the northwest and northeast, had been destroyed by the earthquake. For level ground!
