The roar was like a craze, and Fang Huaijie was like a decayed grass in the wind and rain, and he only knew how to retreat blindly.

The captain Wang Qichen knew that the situation was critical, so he stopped the yamen runner beside him who wanted to draw a knife and shouted: "My fellow villagers, Lord Yuan is really fine. The assassin was stopped by Lord Ji, the governor of Longwei Prefecture of Duanzhou. Please don't be fooled. Lord Yuan will come soon. I will send someone to urge him."

Turning his face, Wang Qichen said to the yamen runners beside him, "Go and invite the lords to come, even if you carry them." The yamen runner knew that the matter was urgent, so he ran to the city. He heard Wang Qichen continue to yell: "My fellow villagers, don't be reckless. The army of Anton Protectorate is only 200 miles away. If there is any misunderstanding, I am afraid that all the jade will be burned. I believe everyone has heard that the disaster relief grain distributed by the court has entered Duanzhou and will arrive in at most three or four days. Everyone will bear it. Lord Yuan is trying to find a way to raise grain, which will definitely make everyone overcome the difficulties."

Jiang Anyi secretly praised the captain as a character, and he was calm in the face of danger. After a word, the people who were on the verge of riots came back, and the situation gradually came under control.

Among the crowd was Zhu Lei, a Yuantian scholar brought by Yang Siqi. He wanted to mix up the water and screamed: "Don't listen to the lies of Eagle Claw Sun. The food for disaster relief these days is thin and small, and it is moldy. Our life-saving food has been greedy by these turtle grandsons. I heard that the Anton Protectorate's Mansion would send troops to drive everyone back to his hometown, otherwise they would be escorted to Qianzhou. This is not a way out for us to live."

There are more and more disaster victims coming everywhere, and the food for disaster relief is tight. The daily food of 400 stones is gradually insufficient, so it is inevitable that there will be more water. The clerks and yamen runners who distribute the food pluck their hair and profit from it. The price of grain in the city soars. After taking it off, they will be replaced with white silver. A bowl of rice can allow the girl to sleep with her, and a liter of rice can be exchanged for a half-large girl.

The clerk who was giving porridge beat, scolded, scolded and scolded the victims, teased good women, and deducted food for disaster relief. These victims saw it in their eyes. At this time, they were told by people that they immediately aroused their anger. Someone roared: "Kill these turtle grandsons, everyone will fight."

Jiang Anyi was not far from Zhu Lei. When Zhu Lei stirred the victim, he could see clearly. Seeing that Zhu Lei's face was flushed and didn't look like a victim at all, he knew that this person was ill. He took out a small silver the size of a thumb from his arms, and bounced his fingers, and the small silver hit Zhu Lei's shoulder from the crack. Although it was just a small piece of silver, Zhu Lei felt as if he was hit by an arrow on his shoulder. Half of his body felt numb and painful, and screamed and shouted: "Who is plotting against the uncle."

Jiang Anyi kept his head shut and squeezed into many places, shouting: "Longwei is a bandit from the Yuantian Sect. He instigated everyone to rebel, and his crime is unforgivable."

The Dragon Guard is famous for his evil reputation, and the Yuantian Sect is also intoxicated by the people. The victims next to Zhu Lei immediately scattered and exposed him alone to the crowd. Wang Qichen didn't know if it was the Dragon Guard who really took action, but Zhu Lei's voice just now was indeed the same as the sound that was provoked in front.

The opportunity is rare, Wang Qichen untied the chain and walked towards Zhu Lei, saying: "Everyone let me give in. Wang took this bandit from the Yuantian Sect to the yamen for interrogation. Don't listen to the instigation of the Yuantian Sect. The old man in the family should have told you about the tragedy fifty years ago."

Fifty years ago, Duanzhou was pacified, as the prefecture of the Yuantian Sect, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people were implicated and killed. The elderly in their family, who were over 60 years old, still remembered what happened back then. Most people had heard the warning and flashed aside in horror, asking Wang Qichen to come forward to capture Zhu Lei.

Of course Zhu Lei won't surrender, he wants to hide

He fled into the crowd, but half of his body was in severe pain and his hands and feet were not flexible. Seeing that the people around him were hiding from a distance, Wang Qichen was getting closer and closer with his chains. Zhu Lei gritted his teeth, took out a dagger from his arms with his left hand, and waved it to Wang Qichen.

There were still many Yuantian scholars in the crowd, shouting: "The government has arrested people, everyone should run away quickly."

The victims fled in scattered and some people took advantage of the chaos to attack Wang Qichen, and a dagger attacked Wang Qichen. Wang Qichen's back was pulled out of wounds about a foot long, and blood flowed down his clothes, stained on the mud, and the red flames were scary. He attacked the head of the wounded official in public, which was a rebellion. The people in front screamed and flashed back, and the people behind desperately rushed forward to see what happened, and they were in a mess outside the south gate.

Wang Qichen has been a headmaster for many years and knew that he could not panic. While there was no one around, he slowly retreated with his left chain and right knife. More than a dozen yamen runners behind him also drew their swords to meet. At the city gate, Yuan Decheng appeared in a sedan chair, and Ji Datao and his men rode horses to protect both sides.

When the victims outside the city saw Yuan Decheng, they cheered and said, "Great, Lord Yuan is fine." "God bless Lord Yuan." The tense atmosphere immediately eased. Yuan Tianshi was trying to save people. Seeing the government helping, they pulled Zhu Lei into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

Someone tore open his collar and wrapped his wounds roughly for Wang Qichen. The wound was not deep and he was extremely injured. Wang Qichen came to the magistrate Yuan and briefly described what had just happened. Yuan Decheng was secretly afraid that if he had come one step late, the matter might not be able to be cleaned up.

Wang Qichen said to Ji Datao gratefully: "Thanks to Lord Ji sent Long Guard to hide among the victims, otherwise the victims would have been rebelled by the bandits of the Yuantian Sect just now."

Ji Datao was depressed. Apart from the four people around him, only Lai Hongfei, who was still in the city, was left. Long Wei who was not sure where it was, and he was whispering and suspicious. Yuan Decheng stood on the table with the help of the yamen runners, comforted the victims, and then announced that he would start recruiting the husbands who repaired the dike.

A long queue was lined up in front of five tables, and the victims began to register in an orderly manner. At this time, the big pot at the city gate began to make fire. The porridge was served in advance today, and the victims didn't care about anything else. Laer and his daughter were in line quickly. It was too late to even have a turn for the porridge.

After some trouble, Yuan Decheng sweated heavily, his head buzzed, and he forced himself to speak to Wan Huaijie: "Mr. Wan, Yuan is out of energy. These recruited people are going to trouble you to send them to the dam."

Wan Huaijie's soul had just returned to his position. After hearing Yuan Decheng's words, he was tempted to leave his body. He shook his head and said, "The Yuantian Sect has ulterior motives. Wan is a scholar and dare not take risks easily. Lord Yuan should send the county yamen runners. Wan will go back to the transportation yamen and send 600 stones of grain to the county yamen and say goodbye."

Seeing Wan Huaijie leaving as if he was running away, Ji Datao spat and cursed: "These guys are more cruel than the other when they are greedy for money, and each one is more timid when they encounter problems. Lord Yuan, you are hurt and you will go back to the yamen to rest. I will send these people to you."

Jiang Anyi was not mixed with the people who were excluded. He went straight south and walked out of the five miles to the Yuanhua River embankment. Standing on the embankment, there was a vast ocean in front of the embankment. The river water was surging like a galloping horse, and floating objects flashed by, which made people frightened. Walking east along the embankment, three miles to see someone running back and forth on the embankment like an ant colony, carrying wood, stones and soil bags. When he got closer, he saw a hole more than three meters wide open at the embankment. The river water poured in, and there was a vast ocean behind him.

There have been many stone yards and soil bags on both sides of the gap

, stones of all sizes filled the dam. Some large stones were three feet square and weighed a thousand kilograms. The soil bags were even stacked higher than people, stretching half a mile on the river bank. Jiang Anyi was not sure why, and saw someone whispering loudly at the gap: "Everyone listen to my order, throw stones into the gap, and throw big stones first."

With a command, seven or eight civilians lifted the huge rocks onto the rolling wood and pushed them into the gap. The flood was rushing, and the stone weighing thousands of pounds fell into the water and was washed backwards.

"Don't stop, keep throwing stones."

Huge rocks were pushed into the water and gradually piled up and exposed to the water surface. Jiang Anyi saw that the person who ordered was wearing official uniforms, and he was so dark that he could no longer tell the color. He should be from the government.

"Drop the sacks and small stones to block the gap."

The people were moving materials like ants. Jiang Anyi rolled up his sleeves and carried a stone weighing hundreds of pounds and pressed it heavily on a sack. The gap was slowly shrinking, but the water became faster. When the gap was shrinking to about a meter wide, the stone was immediately washed away as soon as it was dropped. Obviously, it was impossible to fill it hard.

“Put the wooden raft.”

With the official's order, someone brought up a wooden raft with seven or eight wood nailed together, about five feet long. Jiang Anyi's eyes lit up. He knew that he wanted to place the wooden raft horizontally in the gap. Everyone had a chance to get a moment of opportunity to throw stones and fill the bag behind the wooden raft and then put the gap together.

The wood is a locust wood as thick as a bowl. Eight pieces are nailed side by side, more than two feet wide, and wet wood is not light. Tie them with ropes at both ends. When you arrive at the gap, throw the rope to the opposite side, and use force on both sides to carefully pull up the wooden strips and cross over the gap.

"put."

Everyone loosened the rope, and the wooden raft fell into the water. The water was as fast as a galloping horse, rushing down the wooden raft. The calculated distance was empty, and the wooden raft was about to be swept away by the river. The man standing on the west bank shouted in unison, and the muscles on his arms were bulging, but he could only hold the wooden raft unmoved. If he wanted to pull it back, he was more powerful than climbing the sky.

Li Yubo was worried. There was not much wood on the dike. If this row of wood was washed away, I was afraid that the river water would tear the gap open again. The stone and soil bags I just put in just now would have done useless work.

"Hold on, you won't come forward to help." Li Yubo knew his weight, so he didn't come forward, but shouted at Jiang Anyi behind him. Jiang Anyi's stone that weighed 100 pounds was seen by him. At the critical moment, he saw Jiang Anyi standing stupidly watching the fun, and couldn't help but yell.

Jiang Anyi rushed forward and grabbed the excess rope. He was lucky in the Dantian, and the sound of rushing to the air was opened, "roaring". The wooden raft was dragged back by him. The others felt that the hands were lighter. They knew that the new force was coming, and they shouted and pulled the washed away wooden raft back.

The wooden raft was placed on the gap, and other people took the opportunity to throw stones and earth bags into the gap. A stick of incense passed by, and the gap finally merged, and some small gaps were gone.

Everyone stepped up the consolidation of the embankment. Li Yubo came to Jiang Anyi and patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, I have the strength to add more steamed buns for lunch."

Jiang Anyi was sweating profusely and thought that he had fought for a steamed bun for his life, it was worth it.

At the north gate of Linhua County, a long convoy appeared on the official road. A sharp-eyed disaster victim saw the words "relief" on the flying flag. Cheers were everywhere, and in a moment, the entire Linhua County resounded throughout the court. The disaster relief food in the court arrived, and a disaster finally passed.

(I have been looking for it for a long time but can't find a way for ancient people to deal with the dam breaking. I shouldn't wait until the water recedes before repairing it. I guess I'll write it out, please give me some advice if it is inappropriate.)
