Chapter 43 The truth of the breach

Seeing this, Li Haochen comforted Lian'er softly and said, "Don't worry, look for it slowly!" Just as Li Haochen and Lian'er were talking, a young man in his twenties stepped forward and said to Lian'er: "You are Lian'er, why have you been arrested?"

Lian'er carefully looked at the person who was talking just now and said in surprise: "You are Brother Huzi, why didn't you look at my parents?"

The man who was called Brother Huzi by Lian'er, listened to Lian'er's words and said solemnly: "Lian'er, after the dog official caught us, counted the number of people, and found that you were missing, he took your father and your mother away to ask alone, and he has not come back yet!" As he said that, Huzi looked at Li Haochen and asked Lian'er, "Who is this person Lian'er?" As he said that, he looked at Li Haochen with some vigilance, and his eyes were as if he was saying that Li Haochen was a monster uncle who abducted a girl.

Before Lian'er could speak, Li Haochen said, "I am the one who can save you. As for my identity, you don't need to know. Do you know the real reason for the Yellow River's breach?"

Listening to the question Li Haochen asked, Hu Zi became even more vigilant in his eyes. He said in a hurry: "I don't know, I don't know anything, don't ask me!" Li Haochen knew that Hu Zi was alert to him and refused to tell him, which made Li Haochen helpless. He could understand that the situation in Xiaozhuang Village can be said to be a disaster from the sky. They must now distrust themselves as an outsider, but Li Haochen also knew that time was tight, and he had to know the specific reason for the Yellow River's breach so that he could dig out the big borers.

Just when Li Haochen was still thinking about how to gain the trust of the villagers, Lian'er spoke up and said to Huzi that Li Haochen is a big shot from the capital and a good person can be believed. Of course, Lian'er's words were taught by Xue Rengui on the side.

Hu Zi looked at Lian'er, with a little vigilant in his eyes, then looked at Li Haochen with some confusion and asked, "Are you really a big shot from the capital?"

Li Haochen smiled and said, "I do come from the capital, but I am not a big shot, I am just a little shot!"

Hu Zi couldn't help but sighed and said, "I don't know when the imperial envoy for the Yellow River survey this year will arrive, and I don't know if he can find us!"

Listening to Hu Zi's sigh, Li Haochen pretended to be surprised and said, "What are you going to do with the imperial envoy?"

Hu Zi and Li Haochen chatted for a while and then their vigilance was mostly gone, but they were still very careful and didn't say anything. Li Haochen knew that Hu Zi was still guarding against him, so he smiled and said, "I have many friends in the capital. If I can escape, I will definitely help you find the imperial envoy. However, you have to tell me what you want to do to find the imperial envoy!"

When Hu Zi heard Li Haochen say this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to sue these corrupt officials. They deliberately let the Yellow River break its mouth and harm our people!"

Li Haochen listened to Hu Zi's words and said curiously: "They deliberately let the Yellow River break? Why did they deliberately let the Yellow River break?"

Since Hu Zi had already said it, he told Li Haochen everything without reservation. Through Hu Zi's narration, Li Haochen finally understood all this. It turned out that Cheng Fang of Bianzhou City was the deputy general named Gao He. During this flood season, he asked his soldiers to deliberately dig up nine Yellow River channels. When the flood season came, the water level of the Yellow River rose, and he directly submerged the surrounding villages. Gao He did this matter very secretly, but unfortunately, it was discovered by a villager in Xiaozhuang Village, and the soldier beat the villagers. The villagers died within three days after returning home. This made the villagers very angry and thought of going to the capital to file a lawsuit. As a result, on the day when several young people, including Hu Zi, set off, the provincial prefecture constable arrested all the villagers in Xiaozhuang Village and sent them to this place.

After Li Haochen understood the causes and consequences, he was so angry that he cursed. Now he finally understood that this was not a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. But at this moment he didn't know how many people were involved in this matter. To be honest, Li Haochen didn't believe that such a big thing could be done by a small prefect and a deputy general defending the city. There must be someone else behind them to direct this matter.

Li Haochen looked at Huzi and said, "I can help you, but you have to do me a favor first!"

Hu Zi listened to Li Haochen's words and asked subconsciously: "What's the busy thing?"

Li Haochen pointed at Xue Rengui and said to Huzi: "You create some chaos first and let him escape first, so he will naturally find someone to come and let us go!"

Xue Rengui listened to Li Haochen's words and hurriedly said, "Enjoyed Father, you should escape first. I'll wait for you to come back here!"

Li Haochen shook his head and said, "No, what they care about is me, the descendant of the noble, not you, because they always thought you were just my follower. If I escaped, they would definitely be anxious to kill or transfer all these villagers. This would mean nothing to take risks on our own. If you escaped, there would be no such consequences! Do you understand?"

Xue Rengui nodded and understood as he understood as Li Haochen. At this time, Hu Zi asked Li Haochen, "How do we create chaos?"

Li Haochen lay down beside Hu Zi's ear and whispered a few instructions. Then a few people waited until the soldiers were asleep and began to run away in different directions. Only some old people and children did not move. The unified escape directions of these people were all west, and only Xue Rengui ran east.

The next morning, the people who escaped last night, except for Xue Rengui's accident, were all captured by the soldiers on the second defensive line, including Li Haochen.

The incident of escape at midnight reached Gao He's ears, which made Gao He very angry. He came to this valley that afternoon and punished all the soldiers who were on duty last night. Then someone brought Li Haochen to him. He looked up and down and snorted coldly: "I still underestimate you. You did what happened last night, right? I gave them ten courage and they didn't dare to run away. You must have bewitched these villagers. How should I punish you?"

At this moment, a soldier beside Gao He whispered something in Gao He's ear, which made Gao He frowned and snorted coldly: "The wastes are all wastes, and they can even get one of them away. I don't think you want to receive the military pay this month, right? Send everyone out to this general to find them. You must find the people back, otherwise you won't have to come back!"
