Chapter 314 Borrowing a Boat

It was raining outside the window, and the study was silent.

Liang Qu and Yu Dayi stared at each other across the table, with candlelight on both sides.

Lu Xinqing was sandwiched in the middle, trying to curl up and lower his breath to reduce his presence.

Yu Dayi frowned and twisted his eyebrows into the shape of a "九" character, and couldn't figure out his thoughts for a while.

Liang Qu guessed that the other party couldn't figure it out for the time being, because the whole story was very smooth, and it was a macro phenomenon that was miniaturized to individuals.

Is it accurate?

Generally speaking, it is accurate, but it ignores quite a lot of details and the differences between people.

With the current productivity of Dashun, no matter how hard the county magistrate works, it is impossible to create a perfect "Peach Blossom Spring" where everyone is healthy.

Lu Xinqing may be a born bad seed, destined to be a pirate, and how can he blame others for his talent?

But he can think clearly but can't say it.

It is "shirking responsibility", especially at the critical juncture of the dam burst.

Yu Dayi just felt a weight on his shoulders.

Both easing the contradiction and intensifying the contradiction can help Yu Dayi get out of the quagmire.

I never expected that Liang Qu, at such a young age, could play a trick of diverting contradictions...

Outside the boat window, there were stars and dim lights, like beans.

The boatman's shouting came from afar, echoing in the empty space.

"Is there anyone else in the town?"

"I haven't been to the southeast corner much, I saw someone standing on the roof and holding a fire!"

"Old man, is there anyone in the southeast corner?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Abao, take the fleet over to have a look! If you can take it, take it all, if you can't take it, let them wait a little longer. If there is food, it's better to collect some more food, and throw away the rest if you can! Get it done and go to the next place quickly!"

Lu Xinqing stood in the study room, feeling depressed and having difficulty breathing. When he heard the boatman's shouting outside the boat, he seemed to suddenly come to his senses and handed over two steps by some unknown means.

"Don't hurt the relationship, my lords. Arguing won't lead to any result. But there are lives outside that are really important. We can't wait. If there is anything, we can talk about it slowly later. We are all working for His Majesty. We should get through the difficulties first, right?"

Lu Xinqing came to the two of them with a smug look and bowed. He looked funny with his back hunched.

Liang Qu glanced at him, and Lu Xinqing's neck shrank and he bowed faster, just like Wu Long who squatted down and shook his paws to beg for food during meals.

Under the humor, the stagnant air gradually circulated.

"Ah..." Yu Dayi sighed, "You are a bandit, but you see things more clearly than me."

Under the desire to survive, Lu Xinqing's IQ occupied the high ground: "No, no, Lord Yu is concerned about the people, so he is worried..."

Yu Dayi walked out of the long table and pushed open the boat window.

Rain splashed on the windowsill, and the lanterns with candles swayed in the wind.

"The Ghost Mother Cult is licentious and debauched, but the people are innocent when natural disasters hit. No matter what you and I think, we should work together to overcome the difficulties. What do you think, Liang Shuilang?"

Yu Dayi turned to face Liang Qu.

He was not angry, so he would not lose his mind. He was really worried that the other party would not lose face because of his youth. He immediately took the next step when he saw a step.

Liang Qu felt relieved: "It should be so, but I still want to remind Lord Yu that the Ghost Mother Cult is undoubtedly harmful to the world, but there is no evidence to prove that the case of the collapse of Qiugong Dike was caused by the Ghost Mother Cult."

Yu Dayi's shoulders sank again.

For a long while.

"Lord Liang is right..."

After these words, there was no more tension in the room.

The wind passed through the boat window and rolled up the pages of the book.

Lu Xinqing relaxed his back and felt relaxed.

"Since Lord Yu has calmed down..."

Liang Qu took off the "Liang" waist badge on his waist, slapped it on the table, took out the ink box, and unfolded the book.

"Liangqu, bridge building, water storage canal, from Pingyang, Huaiyin.

I still have many questions to ask Lord Yu about the collapse of Qiugong Dike."

...

On the side of the big ship, Ling Shixiong and other martial artists who had no important matters were sitting in a big black-sailed boat, drinking wine around a small table.

Fried shrimp with chicken head, steamed silver fish, fried peanuts, osmanthus chestnut chicken, taro braised spareribs...all are fresh at the moment.

County Magistrate Yu asked several martial artists to help, not to mention how much money, but good food and drink are the minimum.

But the martial artists' minds were not on eating at all, and their eyes drifted outside from time to time.

"Are they still quarreling on the boat? Shixiong, you are the strongest, can you hear what they are quarreling about?"

Ling Shixiong shook his head: "The rain is too heavy, and the sound behind is too quiet, so I can't hear clearly."

"I don't know when the flood will recede. My son went to Pingyang County and wanted to take me with him, but I have lived in the old house for decades and it has been passed down to me for three generations. How can I bear to leave?"

"Who said it's not true? I am seventy-six years old this year. I don't know anyone outside. I am old and I really don't want to toss and turn. It's tiring."

"I have grown roots. I can't walk away even if I want to. Hey, old Song, you are the oldest, do you remember how many times the Black Water River has flooded? "

A martial artist with age spots on his face shook his head: "I haven't remembered it. It happened almost every year before. It has become much less after Mr. Qiu came. It has probably happened two or three times, right? If you want to know, you can check the county annals."

"Don't think too much. Old brothers can live for at least another sixty years! Come on, come on, eat vegetables, we haven't had dinner yet!"

"It's a pity that Old Li can't eat the vegetables."

The sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding came from the black-sailed boat, and it didn't take a moment.

"Hey, they came out, they came out!"

The martial artists looked up and saw Liang Qu and Lu Xinqing pushing the door out, followed by Yu Dayi.

The three of them came to the deck, and occasionally there was a voice floating in the wind.

"Master Yu thinks someone deliberately destroyed the levee?"

"It must be an external force! The water monument is broken, and there is no news from the people in the hydrological institute. I suspect that they have already died."

Qiugong Dike is a big thunder in Huazhu County. It suddenly thundered. Yu Dayi will undoubtedly send people to investigate, and naturally know that the water monument is broken.

Besides, the people in the hydrological institute are not ordinary people, and they should not die from the dike collapse.

The superposition of the two is definitely not a coincidence.

Yu Dayi said with certainty: "It must be the work of the Ghost Mother Cult!"

Liang Qu: "..."

Yu Dayi can't help but mention the Ghost Mother Cult in almost three sentences, and regards it as a life-saving straw.

Liang Qu can roughly understand his mood.

Floods are ruthless, and human lives are at stake. The court will definitely punish severely.

Decades of hard work have come to nothing, and it is more likely that he will lose his life. Yu Dayi can organize his words while standing, and his psychological quality is already quite good.

"Hydrological station, water monument..."

Liang Qu lowered his head and stared at the pages, unable to figure out the clues.

He is not a judicial officer, who is observant and invincible in reasoning.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter if you can't think of it. Just present the evidence you have collected and let the people from the Three Law Departments go. They are professional.

After getting some basic information, Liang Qu prepared to leave, but before leaving, he wanted to ask Yu Dayi to borrow a fleet.

The first priority of Xu Yuelong's three major tasks is to save people.

Nothing can be done without a boat.

Unexpectedly, Yu Dayi refused.

"It's not that I don't want to borrow, but I really can't borrow it. The fleet is too tight and I can't spare more people to help Lord Liang, but... Lord Liang actually has another way."

Liang Qu narrowed his eyes: "Which one?"

Yu Dayi pointed to the north.

"Shahe Gang!"
