Chapter 76
Some people’s houses collapsed and others lost their homes! (Second update!)
"My nephew is here..."
Jia Changchao was quite happy about Zhang Heng's arrival. Zhang Heng hurriedly stepped forward and was about to speak when a sudden earthquake shook both Jia Changchao and Zhang Heng.
Jia Changchao was shocked and said: "Has the earth dragon turned over? Nephew, hurry up and hide!"
Zhang Heng listened carefully and saw panicked shouts outside, and his expression was very exciting.
"Senior, it seems that the house collapsed..."
When Jia Changchao heard this, he became very anxious. He took the lead and strode out. Zhang Heng quickly followed. Jia Changchao shouted as he walked: "Is anyone crushed? Everyone is okay!"
Someone had already run in. When he saw Jia Changchao, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, sir. It's okay, sir."
Jia Changchao quickly asked: "What's going on?"
The visitor smiled bitterly and said: "It rained so much that the Justice Hall collapsed. Fortunately, the people at the Justice Hall had already predicted it, so they have moved out in the past few days, so everything is fine."
Jia Changchao breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face: "That's good, that's good, then you go and deal with it quickly. You also check other houses. If there is any danger, move out quickly. This rain
It goes on and on and won’t stop for a while.”
That man also quickly followed the order and left.
Jia Chang turned around and said, "My dear nephew, let's go back to the design hall."
It was a mess outside, but Jia Changchao and Zhang Heng returned to the design hall.
Zhang Heng said a little embarrassedly: "Senior, how about I go back today and you go handle these things first?"
Jia Changchao said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. In fact, we had expected it to collapse a long time ago, and everyone was waiting for it to collapse. But we didn't expect it to collapse today, which makes you laugh."
Zhang Heng smiled bitterly.
Jia Changchao smiled and said: "They will deal with the follow-up matters. Later, when the rain stops, the collapsed masonry will be cleaned. These are small things, and maybe they are a good thing. Now the government office has been so dilapidated.
, if the officials knew about it, they might be able to allocate funds to repair it."
All right.
Jia Changchao's unconcerned look made Zhang Heng calm down.
Jia Chang said: "My nephew is here today, but there is something going on. Could it be something related to the imperial examination? I heard Teacher Qi say that you will take part in the examination this year?"
Jia Changchao looked forward to it, hoping to get confirmation from Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng looked at Jia Changchao, who was looking forward to it, and was quite surprised. He didn't know what this person was excited about, but he said honestly: "Senior, I am here today not for the scientific examination, but for other things."
Zhang Heng told the story about Wuyou Cave, and Jia Changchao frowned as he listened: "I know about Wuyou Cave. It is said that many people have disappeared and complained recently. I also urged people to deal with it.
But they all say that this matter has not been resolved. Those ground rats are deep underneath. There are too many pipes and canals under Bianjing City, which extend in all directions. There is no way to go deep into it. Even if you want to, you can't manage it."
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "This junior is here for this matter. I have a plan that may be able to help seniors solve this problem. Although it cannot be solved once and for all, cleaning it up at once can at least take care of it for a few years."
Jia Changchao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? My nephew, you can tell me."
Zhang Heng explained what he was thinking in detail, and Jia Changchao became more and more excited the more he listened: "My nephew, this method is very, very good! It's very interesting, very interesting..."
The two chatted for a long time before Zhang Heng said goodbye and left.
When I left, I passed by the Justice Hall, and it turned out that it had collapsed, with broken walls and ruins, which looked quite desolate.
Zhang Heng stood and watched for a while, then there was thunder and thunder again, and then heavy rain came. He quickly found his little female donkey, walked through the wind and rain, and headed towards the Imperial College.
"...It is better to lend a helping hand to a rotten thing than to help it collapse, instead of breaking it and standing up again, otherwise it will always hurt people..."
…
Fan Wuji's face was ashen. Looking at the domineering men in front of him, he said with difficulty: "You are all well-known big shots in Wuyou Cave, but now you don't follow the rules and force yourself to come here. This is to take it by force."
Robbery?"
Several big men burst into laughter.
After laughing, a big man with a beard said: "Fan Wuji, when did there be rules in Wuyou Cave? Even if there are rules, the rules are whoever has the biggest fist, whoever speaks counts. Now we have the biggest fist, then we
It’s just a rule, why, you’re not convinced?”
Fan Wuji almost couldn't breathe, but a sinister man behind him quietly tugged on his clothes, and Fan Wuji suddenly woke up.
These big men are the most powerful groups in Wuyou Cave. These people are different from him. Fan Wuji's Yunzhong Tower mainly collects protection fees, and also does business on his own, and he also pays attention to credibility. Although it is not
He takes things by force, but as long as the other person doesn't mess around, he will give others a way to survive.
But these groups, which abducted and trafficked women and children, killed people and stole goods, were the most brutal, and their subordinates were also the most capable of killing, and the least moral.
Everyone usually cares about each other, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, but now it has been raining heavily on the ground, and the ditch below has long overflowed into a river. If Wuyou Cave had not been continuously excavated for hundreds of years, and there were measures to prevent floods, they would have been forced to
On the ground.
But even so, 80% to 90% of Wuyou Cave was flooded. He Yunzhong Tower had the highest terrain and the best waterproofing measures, so he was finally targeted by them.
Fan Wuji suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Everyone, Wuyou Cave is indeed facing a big crisis now, but it is only temporary. The terrain here in Yunzhong Tower is superior, so it is possible to escape. You can stay here temporarily and wait.
After the flood recedes, you will go back to your own territory, what do you think?"
The bearded man laughed, his eyes full of greed, and said: "Fan Wuji, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? You occupy such a good place in Yunzhong Tower. Normally we worry about your strength. No one of us can do it."
We can defeat you alone, but with the help of the flood, we are united, and you, Fan Wuji, are no longer our opponent. Naturally, we will take away your Yunzhong Tower. Who can borrow it from you, hahaha!"
Everyone laughed together.
Fan Wuji said gloomily: "That means we can't talk about it?"
"What nonsense! Listen up, everyone, let's go together and kill Fan Wuji and massacre Yunzhong Tower. This Yunzhong Tower will be ours!"
"Okay, kill them!"
…
A conflict broke out between the two sides. Yunzhonglou was usually the stronger one under the Wuyou Cave, but now it was under siege. It didn't take long for them to be unable to resist. Fan Wuji and the sinister man saw that the situation was not going well and hurriedly escaped from the Wuyou Cave.
They emerged from a ditch somewhere, all wet, and returned to the house they bought on the ground in the dark.
Fan Wuji said with great dejection: "Old Tong, our decades of business are gone! There are still some savings in this house. If you take them, it will be enough for you to live in your old age."
Alas, it is fortunate that you have been here these years, leaving us such a way out, otherwise I would have become a lost dog again. Although I no longer have Yunzhong Tower, I can live in the sunshine, which is not bad."
The sinister man Lao Tong had a sullen face and said after a long silence: "Master, are you just going to swallow this?"
Fan Wuji was stunned and said: "Our people are all trapped below, and there are only two of us left. What else can we do?"
Old Tong said sadly: "Do you still remember the egg-filled cakes that brought us a lot of profits?"
Fan Wuji nodded and said, "Of course I remember. Speaking of which, our egg-filled cake business is really profitable, but we won't be able to do it in the future."
Lao Tong said: "Do you still remember those three brothers?"
Fan Wuji nodded and said: "Of course I remember. I heard that the three brothers have now become their disciples. Speaking of which, they might have a grudge. Don't run into them in the future. We were not afraid of them underground before.
, but now on the ground, he can easily crush us to death."
Lao Tong said: "Lord, let's go find him."
Fan Wuji was shocked: "Old Tong, you don't want to live anymore!"
Old Tong chuckled sinisterly: "Since Yunzhong Tower is no longer ours, there is no need for the Worry-free Cave to exist... Lord, let's give Zhang Heng a piece of credit!"
