Xu Ji: "Sir, the person who came to report the news said that the situation only happened last night. The magistrate of Nanyong County may not know the news until this morning, and it is too late to send the news to you."
So... Qi Changyan's face looked better.
But he still said in a deep voice, "Call the person who reported the news in, and I will ask carefully."
"yes."
A quarter of an hour later, Qi Changyan roughly knew the situation of the official road in Nanyong County and Lingchang County from the stranger.
However, it is unclear whether there were any casualties or who came.
It was already midnight when he arrived at the official road and was blocked last night. By that time, he only saw many people around who heard the rumbling sound and came out to see what was going on. Other than that, he couldn't find out anything else.
Qi Changyan didn't expect him to know too much. He only needed to know when it happened and which section of the road it was on.
He will send someone to see what happens next.
He glanced at Xu Ji and said, "Go and call everyone who is on duty today."
"yes."
Not long after, the main officials from the county and city came over one by one.
Qi Changyan told what happened in Lingchang County.
Then, he looked at the people in front of him and said, "I will go there personally. If something important happens in the next few days, you can go directly to Xinanyong County and I will handle it as soon as I receive it."
Several people in front of them were surprised, "You want to go in person?"
Qi Changyan: "Well, I'll go see what's going on."
"You should pay more attention to the affairs of the administration these days."
After saying that, Qi Changyan carefully arranged the matters at hand one by one, and then led people directly to Nanyong County without further ado.
However, on the way, he also stopped by the school where Ji'an and Shao Shuzheng were studying, and told them that he was going to Nanyong County soon.
The two of them had red eyes and cried even more pitifully than the last time they shouted to find Yan Yang.
Aniang has not returned from her grandfather’s house, and now her father is going to a place he has never heard of.
Shaoshu also grabbed the hem of his clothes and refused to let him go.
Qi Changyan had a headache.
He could only look at the two of them and said, "When I come back, I will come back with your mother-in-law."
After finishing dealing with the rockfall issue, he stopped by the Lin family and brought Yan Yang back.
Ji'an's tears stopped.
It's just... I still don't believe it.
Sobbing, "Dad, is it true?"
"Um."
"You guys stay good and stay with grandma. Daddy will be back with grandma later."
Ji'an: "Okay."
But Ying Wan thought of something and suddenly said, "I'll go with daddy!"
Shaoshu immediately shouted, "I'm going too!"
What are he going to do? He is going to deal with something, and he is not specifically looking for Yan Yang. Qi Changyan frowned.
He glanced at the two children and said mercilessly, "No."
He glanced at the time again. It was too late to say anything more, so he just said the last sentence, "You guys study well in school. Daddy will be back as soon as possible."
After that, regardless of the reluctance on their faces, they strode out of the school and galloped away.
At noon that day, we rushed to Nanyong County.
After Qi Changyan arrived, he sent one person to the Nanyong County government office to inform the county magistrate, and then took the remaining people directly to the place where the incident occurred.
By that time, the surrounding area was crowded with cars and horses, and there were hundreds of onlookers. In the center of the crowd, Qi Changyan saw a dozen government officials wearing county government uniforms guarding the area, and some were checking the situation.
Qi Changyan glanced at the government servants for a few times, then got off his horse. Seeing this, Xu Ji led his men forward to clear the way and evacuated a passage.
Only then did the crowd realize that it was the governor of Jiuji County who was here!
There was an uproar immediately, and everyone looked at Qi Changyan.
Qi Changyan had already walked more than ten steps away from the government officials. When the leader of the government officials saw him coming, he wanted to be stopped, but later he hesitated when he saw that the posture behind him was quite large and there were soldiers among them.
At this time, Xu Ji showed a token to identify himself to several people. The leader of the Yamen was frightened because he dared to stop people.
In addition, he quickly said: "My subordinates pay homage to the Sheriff."
"Yes." Qi Changyan nodded, "Have you found out what happened?"
The officer shook his head, "I still don't know the cause of the rockfall."
As soon as they heard the news, they were sent here to look at the situation. Later... as this gentleman saw, they could only stay here for now, and what to do afterwards still had to be ordered by the county magistrate.
Qi Changyan hummed, looking away from him and looking at the blocked official road ahead.
Large areas of mountain soil mixed with rocks made this official road almost completely blocked. If we want to clear it up, it will take at least ten days and a half months.
Qi Changyan's heart sank a little.
Then he looked at the mountain next to him, and then asked the government official, "After you came here, are there still rocks and landslides?"
The officer shook his head: "Sir, no more rocks have collapsed."
"Um."
At this time, the magistrate of Nanyong County also rushed over. It was a coincidence that the person Qi Changyan sent to inform him happened to bump into him on the way, so the magistrate could arrive so quickly.
"My lord, please see the county governor." Magistrate Fang bowed.
Qi Changyan raised his hand to signal him to get up.
"What does County Magistrate Fang think of the situation here?"
Magistrate Fang felt ashamed, "I have sent people to find some good mountain watchers. At present, it is only preliminary confirmed that there will be no risk of collapse of the mountain. The rest needs to be determined."
Qi Changyan was quite satisfied, at least he didn't do nothing during the initiative. He took one last look at the situation before him, called the county magistrate above, and returned to his county office first.
Afterwards, after it was confirmed again that there would be no more risk of mountain collapse, we started to mobilize people to dredge the official road and clear the road as soon as possible.
Of course, you must always pay attention to the mountain conditions during this period to avoid further risks. Fortunately, the situation was not too bad, and everything went smoothly when clearing the road afterwards.
Moreover, because Qi Changyan was personally in charge of Nanyong County, the dispatch of troops was much faster than issuing orders from the county magistrate at the front. After hearing the news, other neighboring counties also sent a large number of troops to help with the dredging. At noon on November 27 On this day, official channels were completely open.
Qi Changyan ordered a reward.
…
On this day, Yan Yang finally got the news that the blocked official road in Lingchang County was cleared.
Her little brother has been running there every day. When he came back today, he told her with a smile, "Sister, the road from Lingchang County to Nanyong County is finally open!"
Mother Lin also heard it and was happy, "It makes sense."
In the past few days, people in the city have been in panic for a while because the roads have been blocked.
After he was happy, he looked at Yan Yang, "Then will you go home tomorrow? Or wait until the day after tomorrow? I will have time to prepare some things."
"And your carriage should also be checked and replaced with new charcoal. Don't get cold on the way back."
Yanyang smiled and nodded, "Let's go back the day after tomorrow."
But that evening, someone came first outside Lin's house.
