Chapter 415 Persuading to Leave

The luck in the emperor's heart was extinguished by Ling Chu's words.

Evacuation is the only way to survive.

He could only immediately give an order to organize all the forbidden troops into small teams of five, disperse them, and notify everyone to evacuate to the north.

Eunuch An was extremely uneasy and wanted to persuade the emperor to leave Yangqu County immediately, but the emperor did not listen.

Although Yangqu County is not large, it has about 30,000 people. It is not an easy task to evacuate everyone within an hour.

In order to prevent someone from disobeying the advice or even causing trouble, the emperor decided to go to the county government to take charge.

An Gonggong tried hard to persuade him, but when he saw that the emperor didn't listen at all, he asked someone to fetch the horse and rushed to the county government office. He was so anxious that he could only hurriedly take out a banknote and stuff it into the hands of shopkeeper Qian, "This is the cost of our stay in the hotel. There is no need to find more. Take it and run away."

After paying the bill, Eunuch An galloped out. After getting on his horse, he whipped his horse whip and went after the emperor.

Master Li, who was in charge of the ladle, said uneasily, "Shopkeeper, the heavy rain has stopped. Will Honghu Lake really burst its embankments?"

Another clerk answered, "Our lake embankments in Yangqu County have always been built solidly, and there has never been a breach of the embankment. Could these people be liars?"

Shopkeeper Qian looked away from the retreating Imperial Guards, glanced down at the banknotes in his hand, and then said in a deep voice, "Our lake embankment in Yangqu County is indeed solidly built. But just because something has not happened does not mean that it will not happen." will happen."

"I don't think these people are lying to us. Although I don't know who these people are, I can tell at a glance that they are extraordinary people. People who lie to others are doing it for fame and profit.

If the story of the embankment collapse is false, what else can they get besides getting a name for themselves?

But if Honghu Lake really breaks its banks, what they will save is the lives of the entire people of Yangqu County. Even if they asked everyone to evacuate just for the sake of fame, they are still the benefactors of our entire Yangqu County.

He is also the benefactor of our Qian family.

Even if they are not seeking fame or profit, I, Qian San, am willing to set up longevity tablets for them and pray to the gods every day to bless them with good health, longevity and longevity. "

If these people leave without settling the bill. Shopkeeper Qian might have thought that those people claiming that the flood was coming were using this as an excuse to miss out on the money that had been poured into the store.

But not only did they pay the bill, they even remembered that they didn't even care about the extra money, which shows that the dike collapse is really going to happen.

Shopkeeper Qian didn't want to stay any longer, so he said to Master Li and the waiters, "Go back quickly and take your family with you to the north, to Daluo Mountain. Don't take anything else with you except valuables. Otherwise, if the flood comes, run away." Not moving."

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, shopkeeper Qian frowned and said, "Human life is at stake. It's better to believe that this is true than not. If there is no flood, it's just a matter of spending some energy to walk north and come back. But if Honghu If the embankment really breaks, there is only one way to die.”

Shopkeeper Qian finished speaking in a hurry, and immediately turned back to the inn, put all the money and banknotes into the box, and hurried out of the inn with them in his arms to inform his family to evacuate.

When the others saw this, they were panic-stricken and could only follow him and run home.

In order for the imperial army to notify everyone to evacuate as much as possible, the emperor sent everyone out. There were only ten forbidden troops left with him, and they hurried to the county government office.

In order to let everyone know that the flood was coming, the emperor signaled to the imperial guards around him and summoned all the people in the yamen to the gate.

At first, the people in the Yamen ignored the Forbidden Army's words and just stared at the intruders with unkind expressions.

The emperor took a look, and without saying a word, the imperial guard took out his saber and put it on the officer's neck. Seeing the murderous look on his face, no one dared to speak. They all turned around and ran to the gate to gather.

Another Imperial Guard quickly found a gong, stood in front of the Yamen, raised his hand, and struck it more than a dozen times, attracting nearby pedestrians.

The emperor immediately announced that the flood was coming and asked everyone to evacuate.

But all the government officials were doubtful, and some even questioned the emperor's words.

"The heavy rain has stopped, so how could there be a flood? The Honghu embankment has always been solidly built, and there has never been a breach of the embankment. What are you doing to deceive the public with your lies?

Do you think you want to be our master now that Magistrate Yan is gone? I advise you to stop dreaming. We are not ignorant and stupid people who will listen to your lies. "

The people watching also started talking, saying that there had never been a flood in Yangqu County and that Honghu Lake would not burst its embankments. Seeing more and more people questioning it, the emperor's face quickly darkened.

I was just about to let the imperial army take care of the yamen servant who caused the most trouble, so as to scare the monkeys.

Ling Chu suddenly walked in from the crowd and said to the government official with a cold face, "Lie? You went gambling last night and lost twenty-three taels of silver. After returning home, you drank alone, and fell down while drunk. A bag hit his head, right?"

"How do you know?" the Yamen servant blurted out with a surprised look on his face.

It's not surprising that this girl knew that he lost money. After all, he was gambling in a gambling house. If you are interested in asking, it is not difficult.

But how did she know that he was drunk and dropped a big bag last night? He drank at home, and there was no one else at home at the time. Even his wife took the child back to her parents' home the day before yesterday.

Ling Chu ignored the officer's words and turned to look at the people on the side, "You had a sudden abdominal pain the night before yesterday. You planned to see a doctor after dawn, but the abdominal pain suddenly disappeared after dawn."

"And you, when you were in the latrine this morning, you accidentally dropped a copper plate into the latrine."

"When the old lady went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, she sprained her foot, is that right?"

Ling Chu said five or six things in a row, and all the people who were called looked at her in surprise.

Although they were small things, she was right about all of them. The key is that no one knows about these things except the parties involved. But this girl knows everything clearly, which is amazing.

Ling Chu glanced at them and suddenly asked, "Now, do you still think that the flood is a lie? Yangqu County has been experiencing heavy rain for three consecutive days and nights. The water level of Honghu Lake has been rising sharply. The lake embankment is already in danger and will soon collapse.

What are you still hesitating about? Run for your lives quickly, it will be too late if you are late."

Seeing that some people were still suspicious, Ling Chu said again, "If the flood didn't come, you can come back again, it's just a little more physical effort. But if the embankment really collapses, do you think about your elderly parents and young children at home?"

The crowd of onlookers changed their faces because of her words. In this kind of thing, you should be prepared for the worst. When they thought of their parents and children at home, they became even more worried.

Some people no longer wanted to stay and turned around and ran back home, wanting to pack up their belongings and take their families to escape.

People have the habit of following the crowd. When someone ran away, others also rushed to leave.

Ling Chu breathed a sigh of relief and signaled to the imperial guards on the side. Boom!

The imperial guard immediately struck the gong in his hand vigorously, and shouted at the same time, "The flood is coming, hurry to the north to escape, and hide on Daluo Mountain..."
