Chapter four hundred and twelve hidden dangers

The river water is turbulent, and broken wood is rushing out of the water gate from time to time, and some small objects such as furniture are also available.

Zhao Fei stood by the river bank and watched, wearing a warm coat and skirt, her hair was combed with a woman's bun, and her round and smooth figure was quite eye-catching, but no one dared to look at it at will.

Chen Yu held her arm, which was not as tall as Zhao Fei. She was petite and delicate, and looked like a little woman with a 14 or 15-year-old daughter.

"Sister Fei'er, what's so good about getting a lot of water? Don't catch a cold."

Chen Yu mumbled, his eyes kept looking at the small porridge shed behind him. Today, the prince's mansion was serving porridge, and Zhao Fei followed her out. She stayed in the shop and had nothing to do. So she prepared some cotton coats and porridge rice. She asked the friend to carry it over to set up a porridge shop, and specially hung three banners of "Baibaozhai", "Wanbaolou" and "Shibaotang". Rather than being kind-hearted, she was really bored and missed Miss Xiao Su and the surname Cao.

Chen Yu was careless in nature. After serving a few bowls of porridge, she lost interest and threw it to the shopkeeper. Then she wanted to go to the place where the officials were crowded with to deceive the rich man. Unfortunately, Zhao Fei was introverted and unwilling to deal with the officials she didn't know. She ran to the river bank to see the water. Naturally, she was not very happy and felt that it would be better to stay in the porridge shed as a Guanyin Bodhisattva to admire.

Zhao Fei hooked her hair in her ears and chuckled softly: "If you want to go, go, I'll just take a look here."

"Oh." Chen Yu nodded, then looked reluctant, and then happily ran to the place where the lady in the official family was.

Zhao Fei shook her head and chuckled, standing on the rocky embankment on the river bank and looking at the surging river water. The river water is really nothing good, it just finds something to do when you are thinking about it.

Boom boom boom boom-

The river water is rising sharply and has a great momentum.

Zhao Fei did not dare to stand on the edge of the river embankment, but suddenly heard the slight sound of "Kata" in a vague way, which was inaudible, but her ears were very clear since childhood.

Zhao Fei frowned slightly, looked a little confused, thought for a while, walked to the vicinity of the sound that made the sound, and looked down.

When Zhao Fei saw this, she was so scared that she was shocked.

I saw a crack rapidly expanding below the river bank, and the stone bank shattered, falling into the fierce river water like a landslide.

Crazy—

Zhao Fei was stunned, and then she reacted and retreated. She stepped on a crack in her feet, sprained her ankle, lost her balance, turned dizzy, and fell directly backwards.

"ah--"

Screaming in a mess.

Zhao Fei was in a hurry, and her first reaction was to cover her eyes. Then she felt her body sinking, and was wrapped around her arms, and landed on the intact stone embankment next to her.

A loud bang appeared on the river bank with the sound of stone shattering. Large pieces of falling rocks fell into the surging river water, and the splashing waves sprinkled up the river. The gap spread rapidly, pulling the stones next to it into the water until a two-meter-long semicircular gap appeared before stopping.

Zhao Fei was scared and shuddered. After realizing that the man was being held, she panicked. She hugged the man next to her waist as if she was catching a life-saving straw and buried her face in the arms. But she immediately reacted again and hurriedly wanted to separate. After raising her eyes and seeing the man's face, she was stunned. Then she hugged her again and buried her in the man's arms. Her round and smooth body trembled slightly.

"Don't be afraid."

Cao Hua spread his hands helplessly. He wanted to scold Zhao Fei, but it was difficult to speak at this time, but he just frowned and looked at the collapsed river bank.

With a loud bang, the officials and yamen run over. Chen Yu was so scared that his face turned pale, and he was screaming in horror from afar: "Sister Fei'er, Sister Fei'er!" The words were too short to see the situation through the crowd. He was really scared.

When Zhao Fei heard the noisy footsteps, she finally came back to her senses. She hurriedly let go of the man's waist, turned her back to tidy up the palace skirt. After only for a while, she felt her legs weak and squatted down, and her shoulders could not stop trembling.

Cao Hua comforted him a few words, then turned his eyes to the running official and said angrily:

"Who built the river bank?"

Hundreds of people and yamen runners surrounded them with fear in their eyes.

The river embankment that Zhao Fei had just protruded his head began to collapse from below. The stone was washed away and exposed the soil behind him, and it was slowly expanding out. If someone stood on it and fell into the turbulent river water, even the gods could not catch it.

Zhao Ting hurriedly ran to the vicinity, sweating profusely. If the princess had an accident due to the collapse of the river embankment, he would definitely not be able to escape the responsibility. Fortunately, Cao Hua pulled him back. He responded with embarrassment:

"Governor Cao, the river bank has been built in the year and month. At the beginning of the year, people have been sent to reinforce it. However, the rain is too heavy this month, and it is inevitable that it will be damaged. Just be safe and sound..."

Zhao Huai also ran over and looked at it for a few times. Seeing that no one was injured and the river bank collapsed, he ordered:

"Let the corvee service fill this piece with sandbags and bomb the people around the river bank. Do not get close to the river bank, so as not to fall into the water accidentally."

The response was very appropriate, and a few friends immediately began to flatter.

The officials should also make promises, and ask the yamen runners to fill the gap in the river bank and set up a cordon to disperse the onlookers.

Cao Hua frowned and looked carefully outside the Shuimen. The collapsed Heti was only more than ten feet away from the Shuimen wall. If the city wall collapsed...

Cao Hua walked to the city wall of Shuimen and tapped it with his fingers, but he obviously couldn't hear anything.

Zhao Ting was arranging personnel, but after seeing this, he hurried over and said with awkward smile:

"Don't worry, the city wall has been around for hundreds of years, and it will be repaired and reinforced every year, but it cannot collapse."

"Are you sure you repair and reinforce it every year?"

Cao Hua narrowed his eyes slightly. Under the influence of Zhu Xie, both officials and military officials in Jiangnan were all deprived of corruption. He really didn't believe in the officials in Hangzhou.

Zhao Ting's face turned pale, he bowed and bowed: "Governor Cao, repairing the city wall and river embankment is related to the city defense. If something happens, he will lose his head. Where can the subordinates dare to touch this part."

Cao Hua rubbed his fingers, looked at the edge of the water gate for a few steps, pushed it back a few steps, and then rushed forward with a very rapid kick and kicked the side on the city wall.

Bang—

With a dull sound, the city walls naturally remained motionless.

Zhao Ting smiled awkwardly and thought for a while: "Governor Cao, if you are worried, I can send someone to patrol the other side."

Cao Hua thought about it, but he didn't have much to say. He turned around and comforted Zhao Fei who was frightened.
