Chapter 1110 Flood Control

Chu Heng has already entered the carriage, and Lu Chuan is in charge of driving the carriage.

Magistrate Zheng didn't see Eunuch Wu, so he was a little curious: "Lord Chu, why isn't Eunuch Wu here?"

Speaking of Eunuch Wu, he was sent by the emperor to assist Chu Heng after the year. Compared with Eunuch Ren, he is the adopted son of He Dequan, the chief eunuch, and his status is higher than that of Eunuch Ren.

The emperor sent another person, and Chu Heng was not surprised. He did what he usually had to do, and he treated him with the same attitude as his father-in-law.

He is not afraid of the emperor's temptation, but he is afraid that the emperor will not even show the temptation to the public. Now it seems that at least the emperor trusts him. As long as he does well, the purpose of Eunuch Wu's supervision will immediately become to push him away. Help from above.

This is like the emperor's eyes. Seeing Chu Heng's talent with his own eyes won the emperor's heart, and he will naturally be reused.

"Eunuch Wu came back late at night. He went to help us and asked for help. The staff of the chief envoy is not enough for one county government."

The chief envoy has military power in his hands, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to invite them. Chu Heng was afraid that he would leave, and it would be too late to notify the people below to do things when it rained, so he asked Eunuch Wu for help.

Magistrate Zheng suddenly realized, no wonder he hadn't seen Eunuch Wu in the past few days. It turned out that he was sent out by Chu Heng to handle errands.

Seeing the dense rain, falling more and more heavily, his heart skipped a beat, feeling that something big was about to happen.

Chu Heng was also in a bad mood, sitting in the carriage. After the carriage left the county town, the road was muddy and it was very difficult to walk.

Halfway through the journey, he led Zheng County Magistrate to abandon the horse and head straight to Nanzhou.

Followed by seven or eight guards, with cloaks on their heads, shuttled through the rain.

When he got to the pier, Chu Heng got off his horse and asked Lu Chuan to take County Magistrate Zheng with him and board a big boat.

Magistrate Zheng doesn't know how to ride a horse, and is brought by guards. Even so, his **** still hurts right now.

When Lian Ye boarded the boat, he was in a panic, and hurriedly caught up with Chu Heng and asked, "Lord Chu, where are we going now?"

"Go to the Zhizhou of Nanzhou." Chu Heng's voice was deep.

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng opened his mouth, the water on his head flowed into his mouth, it was a bit salty, he quickly raised his sleeve to wipe it, but the sleeve was also wet, he twisted his sleeve, hesitant to speak , Looking back to the outside of the deck, I found that the ship had already set off.

If it is a small boat, it is extremely dangerous to travel in this heavy rain, but the big boat is different, except for a little shaking, there is no difference.

"Lord Chu, Nanzhou is one of King Qi's territories. After we sent a letter last time, the other party only replied with an ambiguous answer. If we rush tonight, they may not agree to do anything."

"You don't know that the local officials are mainly moderate. If they don't see rabbits, they don't scatter eagles. Even if it rains tonight, they will say that it may stop tomorrow. The degree of flooding is limited, at least until the day after tomorrow. They will send people to evacuate the people if the rain doesn't stop."

Chu Heng's face was gloomy, "The disaster is imminent, don't you think it's redundant to do it again?"

County magistrate Zheng dared not answer these words. He could see that Mr. Chu was doing practical things, which was different from many local officials.

As for Nanzhou Zhizhou's idea, it just wants to reduce some expenses and avoid responsibility.

If the water doesn’t rise too much, let the people come and go to clean up the water, and when a joke happens, the people will scold him from below.

The most he can do is to find someone to inform everyone to be careful about flood prevention.
