Chapter 90 Unsheathing (Part 2)

It was still the maid from yesterday. She served Wang Ningzhi after washing up and left in a hurry.

The clouds were covered with dark clouds, even worse than yesterday, but it was a new day. The county magistrate's office had a place for rest, but he was busy a little late last night, so he just went to bed at the office. Fortunately, he often did this before, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.

The threat of typhoons is too great. Even in later generations, it is one of the most natural disasters that need to be guarded against. Although Wang Ningzhi had also experienced a typhoon landing, it was in his previous life and had complete security measures. Unlike this era, most farmers' residences were just wooden houses or thatched huts. It would be good if the house was not pulled up with the foundation.

Suoxing County also has previous records. After searching for a night, he found the description of the typhoons when they arrived in the past. It was obviously not as helpless as he had expected. Many experienced people could see that the typhoon was coming in advance. In this way, the group of Taoists who spread rumors said that natural disasters were coming.

"I asked you to report to the county people last night, but was it done?" Looking through the letter in my hand, I left the servant called Azou aside, and Wang Ningzhi asked the county magistrate Li Yong.

"It's done. Starting from Shangyu and Yuyao in the southeast, we report all the county people. And those who stay there report that the villagers are also taking regular precautions. The caves opened two years ago still have their residences." Li Yong said with a sad expression, "but there are only a limited number of people to hide, and after all, there are still people who will have to withstand the disaster."

"This is a problem. If possible, it is best for the aristocratic families to live in some houses for people who cannot escape. Although it is a bit difficult, I may set an example, at least to allow them to spend this period of time." After reading the letters that Xie Daoyuan asked someone to bring over, Wang Ningzhi said, "You can do these things immediately. You must be quick. Judging from the situation in Linhai, it seems that a hurricane will come in one or two days, and it will definitely bring a storm."

"yes."

"Also, it seems that some officials have not come today. I will send someone to tell them that they will not use them. Then I will leave a letter to those poor families. If anyone wants to do an errand in the county magistrate's office, who can help refugees, I will give advice to the King of Langya, and the grade will be appropriately improved when evaluating." Wang Ningzhi sneered on the corner of his mouth, "To be honest, the Shangqing sent Taoists to say that this natural disaster was related to me, so he scared a group of mediocre people to come... What's the use of such an official?"

After giving Li Yong the instructions to him and seeing him leave, Wang Ningzhi turned his gaze to the servant Azou on the other side. Perhaps because Wang Ningzhi had too much aura, the servant hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I'm a little, I've seen Lord Fujun..."

"You will tell me the past the night before."

"... The husband was arrested by the husband and the county jail. The whole family was very frightened. Even the servants in the backyard had a lot of sleeping time than usual. I was confused and had the urge to pee, so I got up and went to the cottage... After going to the toilet, I heard the roar outside and a lot of footsteps. There was also a fire in the front yard. I felt it was inappropriate. If I hadn't been hiding in the cesspool, I would have died there..."

Wang Ningzhi suddenly looked up: "Can you see clearly the appearance of those two people?"

"No, it was dark and they were all covered in their faces. I didn't see clearly, but I was confused about one of them, that is, one of them was wearing my family's clothing..."

"I heard that when the family was searching, a person who was taken into custody by Huang Xian not long ago escaped. Could this be the case?"

"have."

Wang Ningzhi sighed and stared at Azou. He didn't say anything for a long time. His eyes were sharp, as if he was murderous intent, which made the servant more and more fearful. His legs on the knees trembled. After a while, Wang Ningzhi smiled and said, "I had avoided it, but now it seems that this step is a must."

A lightning strikes—

...

Even though the Wudou Rice Taoism, which the vast majority of the lower class believe in, is not the Shangqing Sect, it is undeniable that the Shangqing Sect has the influence in the south, and they are still the representatives with the most say.

Therefore, from the fact that Sun Xiang gathered the crowd to accuse Wang Ningzhi of acting against the will of heaven, to the fact that Shangyang Zhenren said that Wang Ningzhi was a demon, and then to the Taoist people who criticized Wang Ningzhi one after another, all kinds of remarks, but in summary, most of them linked Huang Xian and Feng Xuan's family to the destruction of people and the upcoming typhoon and natural disaster with Wang Ningzhi, thinking that he was causing it, this is worrying enough.

If the rumors and attacks between Wang Ningzhi and Xu Shen some time ago were just itchy, this time it was really serious, because the people who stood up were not famous rural people, but rather famous Taoists.

Therefore, a group of officials were reluctant to enter the county magistrate's office.

So the people who didn't know the truth began to curse Wang Ningzhi.

However, when many suspicions reached their peak within one day, a Taoist temple outside Jiankang was called Qixia Temple. The master of Qixia Temple put forward different opinions: Wang Ningzhi was chosen by heaven, and this did not arise because of him, but just a normal celestial phenomenon.

Zheng Qingfeng's first appearance attracted a lot of firepower, which then caused a dispute over doctrine.

The struggles were stormy, and there was no stop for a moment before the typhoon was approaching.

...

Shangyu County.

A middle-aged man is busy transferring valuable items in his home, especially food.

It is said that it is home, but only a few thatched huts are enough to support the warmth of the family. However, the chaotic wind, bright lightning and rolling thunder all indicate that after the hurricane, these thatched huts will probably no longer exist.

Following the middle-aged man, there were two little boys, one big and one small, and a woman with big belly, marching with a hard time facing the gradually growing wind.

"Mr., look at the children." The woman said, her voice weak, and it was obvious that walking in the wind was very difficult for her.

The honest middle-aged man responded, panting, walking behind the women and children, blocking the wind... There are still many such people. They gathered together and moved towards the safe place they had explored before. It was a big cave. When you get there, you don’t have to be afraid of wind or rain. You just need to survive the days when the hurricane hits and you will be safe.

The person in front stopped.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, hurriedly supporting the woman who was shaking, and listened carefully to the words coming from the front.

"It's full, the cave is full, you can't go in..."

The shouts in front were covered by the wind, but they were enough for those who were approaching to hear that the crowd was silent, as if they were brewing emotions. Only those who were guarding the cave were shouting loudly: "It's full, the cave is full, you can't go in..."

"The cave is full? How can it be full? What should we do if the cave is full!"

Suddenly, a man started yelling.

"If you squeeze, you will squeeze the people inside."

"Please let my parents in!"

...

Crowded, the young and strong man wanted to crowd forward, and squeezed into a lump in front of the cave.

But in the end it was in vain, there was really no space in the cave.

The middle-aged man did not squeeze in like others, but looked at the woman worriedly. The woman with a big belly comforted her belly, and a look of discomfort appeared on her face.

The two children around him kept shouting "Ah Mom" ​​and "Ah Mom".

He was upset and was now blocked in front of the cave. He was neither going nor retreating. He could only stare at the child and his wife in vain, looking at her erect belly, which had a flesh and blood inside, and felt sad in his heart. It was obvious that it was difficult to survive this natural disaster.

Dangdangdang...

Suddenly, a series of gongs came from behind a group of people. The middle-aged man turned his head and saw a vaguely warrior coming:

"The county magistrate has opened several houses for temporary residence. If you haven't found a place to rest, you can pass quickly."

The middle-aged man was stunned and quickly became ecstatic and said to the woman:

"Go and follow us!"
