Gu Jingyun went down the mountain with the people from Qingxi Academy, and at the foot of the mountain, he met people from Songshan Academy.

   Zheng Xu was very happy to see Shi Wei, and asked, "I heard that you had a conflict with the people from Changfeng Academy, who lost?"

  Shi Wei said: "You must have heard it wrong. We have always been friendly to others, so how can we conflict with others?"

   Zheng Xu couldn't get used to his fake appearance, he curled his lips in disdain, looked at Gu Jingyun and said, "Brother Gu, I don't know if I will be free tomorrow, Xu has not thanked Brother Gu for today's work."

   Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "It's a little bit of work, Yun has nothing to do in the capital, and Young Master Zheng can come anytime."

   Zheng Xu was satisfied. It seems that Shi Wei was not able to pull people over. It seems that Songshan Academy still has a good chance.

  Because he knew that Gu Jingyun was going back to Guangzhou for the exam, Shi Wei was not in a hurry. Although they only got along for half a day, Gu Jingyun was obviously a very thoughtful person. The solicitation between him and Zheng Xu just saved him some time for inquiries.

   But Zheng Xu didn't know, he was full of confidence and wanted to come to persuade Gu Jingyun to join Songshan Academy. He planned to come the next day, who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances.

   In the evening, the sun was still shining brightly, and when it was just dark, you could even see a small crescent moon in the sky, but just at 19:00, the dark clouds covered the moon, and then the sky was as black as an overturned inkstone.

   Of course, not many people noticed this at this time, because it was night, and it was normal to get dark, but now it’s just a little darker.

   The wind gradually picked up, but not only did not blow away the feeling of being scorched by the sun during the day, on the contrary, it became more sultry. When the wind became stronger and stronger, and the leaves began to rustle, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Thinking of the announcement from Shuntian Prefecture during the day, the people in the capital hurriedly took back the clothes and food that had been drying outside. As soon as they finished all this, there was a thunderstorm outside. It seemed like every sound was ringing in my head.

The thunder continued for an hour, but no drop of rain fell. The people who couldn't sleep listening to the thunder couldn't help but muttered to God that it would not rain if there was thunder, and muttered a few times and slowly fell asleep. Just as the roosters began to sound, the thunder and lightning became louder. It was brighter, the wind was so strong that it almost lifted the roof, and the rain from the sky fell down like a falling curtain of water...

   Such heavy rain has never been seen by younger people in their life.

  Li Baolu sat up from the bed, not bothering to put on a coat, grabbed the umbrella in the room and ran to Gu Jingyun's room next door against the swept rainwater.

  Gu Jingyun was sitting on the bed with his brows closed, looking at the door with his brows closed. When he saw Li Baolu pushing the door in, he got out of bed and turned on the light. Seeing her clothes were all wet, he couldn't help pursing his lips.

  Gu Jingyun found her clothes from the closet and gave them to her, "Quickly change them, be careful of the cold."

   Li Baolu changed her clothes and came out. She saw Gu Jingyun standing in front of the window with his hands folded, looking out with a heavy expression on his face.

Li Baolu walked over to him and looked out, the window was closed, the two of them could only use their ears to listen to a little movement outside to judge what was going on outside. The cry of the child seemed to be a leak in the house.

   Mixed with many voices, Li Baolu could even vaguely hear the roar of the collapsed house...

   Such rain will inevitably lead to disasters, and I don’t know if there will be plagues.

  Fortunately, after going down the mountain yesterday evening, she turned to the vegetable market to buy a lot of vegetables and rice noodles, otherwise…

   Gu Jingyun sighed, "The capital will be calamitous, we try not to go out these days."

  Li Baolu nodded fiercely.

The rain didn't stop until the second quarter of the second day (8:30), but the dark clouds in the sky still did not disperse, but continued to walk in the sky darkly, as if ready to come again at any time. Heavy rain.

  Li Baolu opened the door and went out. Their yard was already full of water, and she waded carefully to the kitchen.

  The rice, noodles, vegetables, etc. in the kitchen were not affected. Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief. Just in case, she brought everything back to the room and put it away, and then boiled water to wash the rice and cook.

  There is a well in the yard. Li Baolu usually asks for water from there. The well water is also sweet, but at this time, the well water is turbid. Li Baolu dare not use it directly to wash rice for cooking.

  Gu Jingyun also pulled up his trouser legs to help, Li Baolu pushed the person into the kitchen, "Don't come down, who knows if there is any virus in this water? You are cooking in the kitchen, and I will prepare the ingredients for you outside."

   Thinking of Gu Jingyun's prediction that it will rain for several days, the kitchen may not be able to keep it in the future, so he said: "Take out the flour, we will prepare more dry food, and there is water, so we should burn more."

  The young couple worked hard like two little bees while the rain stopped. Gu Jingyun calculated with his fingers and made five days of dry food, and then poured the boiled water into a wooden bucket to dry.

   And Li Baolu handed over the kitchen to Gu Jingyun, and took a stick to open the drain in the yard.

   But it's not very useful when the drains in the whole city are half-paralyzed, at least the water in the yard after she passed the drains didn't drain out much.

  Because the whole street outside was soaked in water.

  Li Baolu just threw away the water stick when there was a knock at the door.

   "Who?" Li Baolu held the stick in her hand.

   "Miss Li, the youngest is from the Li House. I'm here to give you and Mr. Gu some things at my son's order."

  Li Mansion?

  Li Baolu realized that this was referring to the Prince's Mansion, and hurried to open the door.

   A coachman and a servant stood at the door. Seeing Li Baolu hurriedly bowed, she started to move things from the carriage into the house.

   The servant moved and explained: "Qin Tianjian said that the rain is still going to fall. The son was worried about the young lady and Gu Gongzi, so he asked Xiao Xiao to bring some things over."

   The items delivered were delicious food, rice, noodles, vegetables, meat, fruits, and even two baskets of charcoal.

  Li Baolu was amazed at Li An's thoughtfulness, and after thinking about it, people put everything in the house where she lived.

  Li Baolu looked at the room and said with satisfaction, "Now we don't have to worry about food."

   The rain fell on and off for four days. Half of the capital was submerged in water, many houses collapsed, and many chickens and ducks died in the water. Li Baolu no longer dared to use the water from the well.

   Fortunately, Shuntian Prefecture responded quickly. As soon as the rain stopped, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture began to organize yamen to rescue the people and dredge the water.

   Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun knew what was going on from their neighbors even when they were sitting at home.

  Because of the shortage of manpower, the governor of Shuntian also hired a lot of soldiers from the Xishan camp to help the disaster.

  There must be a plague after a major flood. This is basic common sense.

Epidemic disease, whether it is the rich or the poor, can't escape, so the rich and powerful people in the capital are unprecedentedly united, the rich give money, the grain gives food, the medicine gives medicine, even if the heart is bleeding, They also want to contain the diseases that have not yet occurred in their cradles.

   Even the fourth prince asked the prince to plant the flood on the prince's head, saying that the prince could not satisfy the gods and only rained as punishment, not many people responded.

  Although it is important to bring down the prince, the lives of himself and his family are also important.

   Therefore, the governor of Shuntian wanted to borrow troops to save people, and the Minister of War gave a big wave, save!

   The governor of Shuntian had to settle the victims in a place, and the court was responsible for the food and clothing of the victims, and he had to give the victims a bowl of medicine to prevent epidemics every day.

  The powerful people in the capital, officials at all levels, and businessmen have also generously donated money, but in three days, order was in order. Not only did the victims get good resettlement, but the disaster-stricken houses were also sorted out by the soldiers.

   All victims who fell ill in this flood were sent to hospitals outside the city for unified isolation and treatment.

  If the family is concerned about the patient, one person can be sent to take care of the patient.

   After the death of patients who failed to receive treatment, they were cremated by the monks of Huguo Temple.

   Li Baolu said with admiration: "This Shuntian governor has great talent."

  Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Doing his job for the officials is worthy of the world, worthy of the society, and worthy of the people."

  The high-ranking officials in the court noticed this Qiao Dongliang, who had been serving as the governor of Shuntian for five years.

   Not to mention that Li Anzheng secretly wanted to draw this person into the line of the prince, even the four princes said, "It's a pity that this person is so talented that I can't use it for me."

   immediately sent his henchmen to recruit Qiao Dongliang.

   Li An is more cautious, they have been stared at by the emperor's people, otherwise it is impossible to hand over all the power of the prince's line to Peng Dan.

   They dare not blatantly befriend courtiers.

   So Li An only instructed Peng Dan to help Qiao Dongliang in the imperial court, first check his favorability rating, and then mention the issue of standing in line after his favorability rating has been maxed out.

   This seems that the actions of the fourth prince are too impatient.

   This made the emperor, who had been paying close attention to the flood in the capital, very dissatisfied, because he did not see the movement of the Prince's Mansion, but he saw the fourth prince's staff working hard to get close to Qiao Dongliang.

   With his toes, he knew what the Fourth Prince wanted.

  The emperor was very unhappy.

  Qiao Dongliang is his person. After all, he is the mayor of the capital and the director of the Public Security Bureau. How can someone else hold such an important position?

  Qiao Dongliang was born in a poor family. As soon as he passed the examination, the Emperor Jinshi asked him to walk in front of the imperial palace, and then let him go to Dali Temple to observe and study. Three years later, he passed the assessment of his ability before he was placed in the position of the governor of Shuntian.

  Because he came from a poor family, he is low-key and clean, so he has never been married, and he has never been involved in the struggle between the prince and the fourth prince. The emperor is still very satisfied with this minister.

   The handling of the flood made the emperor more satisfied with him, so the fourth prince came to pry at the emperor's wall at this time, which made the emperor very unhappy.

   Even his favorite son, the emperor was not happy.

When the emperor was unhappy, he liked to find things for his sons to do, so Li An came to Gu Jingyun with a constipated face, and said, "The emperor wants to go out of the palace to have fun with the people during Chongyang, and he will leave this matter to my father and uncle four. Jingyun, you have to help me."
