Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 348 - 340

"They want to use the disaster as an excuse to seize our Yu Zhou territory. My father told me about this last night. The Linfen River shore area is unclear, and Wuheng is a newly established prefecture with unclear management. If they truly covet it, won’t it be my father’s and Wuheng’s loss? My father, even in heaven, will not be able to rest in peace!"

"And those prisoners, they actually watched my father die in front of them with open eyes. Not a single one stepped forward to stop it! Poison them all!"

"Young master, please reconsider. Those prisoners are not condemned criminals, their crimes do not warrant death. If they die in prison, it might be used as an excuse, it could..."

However, before the person could finish speaking, Mr. He kicked him away.

"My father is already dead, they are my father’s subjects, then let them accompany my father in the grave!"

"What’s a few lives?! If anyone is to blame, it’s them for not protecting my father." He gritted his teeth, his gaze like a knife flashing with cold light, his face full of resentment.

But when he led a large group to the villages on the Linfen River shore, he found that the entire village was already empty without anyone noticing.

He stood in the center of the house, amazed, unable to believe it.

"What is going on here? Where are the people? Where are they gone?!! Why did they all leave?"

"Father hasn’t given the order, he didn’t let them leave, how could they easily leave here!!"

The guard beside him bravely spoke: "Young master, maybe these people heard the Daoist’s words, and worried that the Linfen River would flood, that’s why they fled overnight."

Mr. He slapped him in the face angrily!

"Useless! You can’t even stop them! How can you let them have their way?"

"And how could just a few words from the Daoist make so many people leave at once! Search carefully! I don’t believe that the entire village has left!"

The truth was as they expected, there were still a few families in the village who, because of having too much luggage, took longer to pack, so they hadn’t finished packing.

Right now, they were brought before Mr. He by the government officer.

Mr. He felt a sense of betrayal from his father as he saw their eagerness to leave home, and he punched those few villagers in the face, shouting at them.

"This is your home, how could it be so easy to leave just because of a few rumors from the Daoist!!"

"Don’t you trust my father that much!"

"My father was killed to protect this land! None of you will leave, if anyone wants to leave, I’ll make him accompany my father in the grave now!"

With that, he drew his sword and without hesitation cut off the arm of a nearby child. Blood gushed out, terrifying the villagers, who shivered and wailed.

Thus, they honestly explained the reason for the village’s evacuation overnight.

"Young... young master, we don’t want to leave either, but... but two days ago someone gave us a large sum of silver coins, asking us to leave, as long as we left, they’d give us dozens of taels of silver, and also gave us a lot of rations for the journey."

"What?"

Mr. He kicked them angrily: "Absurd!! How is it possible for the world to have pie falling from the sky, are those silver coins real? And you accepted it without thinking about why they wanted to pay you to leave! Foolish bunch!"

Having said that, he grabbed the guard beside him: "So many people have left, if there are no villagers here, who knows if the Wuheng magistrate might find someone to occupy these lands in the meantime!"

"Father’s funeral is not yet complete, I naturally must keep vigil for my father! So find some city people to move here, resolutely prevent anyone from seizing it!"

Since people were driven away, he would bring more over, he simply didn’t believe that with people present, the other side would dare take over.

At this moment, a villager bravely spoke: "Young master, today we saw that the water level of Linfen River has surged! It’s uninhabitable here, we should leave quickly."

"Is it your place to speak? Shut your mouth! Take him away to the prison!"

Mr. He slapped him, blocking his mouth.

Completely disregarding what he said, his whole body was consumed with grief and anger.

As for the others, they dared not speak up, fearing they might draw fire upon themselves.

Just as they were moving city people to this place, on the other side, Ruan Mian saw the rain falling heavier and realized the situation was more severe than she had imagined.

Seizing the moment when no one was paying attention, she summoned the Space Spirit Beast to inquire, only to learn that the flood was imminent. Even earlier than anticipated by several days.

Upon receiving the news, she immediately urged Lord Lin: "Lord, I will send Yun Xiu to accompany you to gallop back to Wuheng at full speed. The flood is approaching, we must immediately relocate everyone from Wuheng City."

"Longchang Mountain is at a high altitude. If those people have nowhere to turn temporarily, they can first stay at my village for a few days. I must remain here to quickly evacuate everyone."

"Miss Ruan, although you have already moved many people, but you are only one person, how can..." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Lord, rest assured, there are more than just me here, I have colleagues. Now our compatriots’ life and death is more important! We cannot afford delay! You are Wuheng’s parental officer, you must hold the ground."

The situation was urgent, and they didn’t have time for further politeness or words.

Upon receiving Ruan Mian’s assignment, Yun Xiu swiftly carried Lord Lin and rushed towards Wuheng.

Fortunately, many people had already been evacuated from the Linfen River shore in Yu Zhou.

At that time, she used a large amount of silver coins from the space, in the most direct way, trading money with them for their departure.

The people were already trapped by rumors, now someone kindly offered real silver coins and rations in return for them to leave, everyone felt it was beneficial.

So they left overnight.

But Ruan Mian hadn’t thought of one thing, she was still thinking of going to the Linfen River shore to take the last few families away.

When she arrived, she saw that the flood had already submerged the village, and the city people who had been moved here overnight were swept away by the flood!

Seeing the water surging towards Yu Zhou City.

At this moment, torrential rain poured down, and the situation proved what Ruan Mian, who disguised as a Daoist, said. City dwellers began to flee for their lives. Seeing this, Ruan Mian immediately recalled the dam section of Linfen River.

She immediately touched the Jade Bracelet, summoned the White Tiger, traversed forests, and waded through water, taking the fastest route to the dam.

The dam that was supposed to split and block the flood was recklessly blown up by Mr. He, causing it to burst!

The surging flood raced towards Wuheng territory.

For personal gains, he ignored the tens of thousands of civilians downstream, unaware that the dam years ago already conflicted with the current construction of Yu Zhou City.

Not only failing to alleviate Yu Zhou’s flood, but he also accelerated the speed of water engulfing, and intensified Wuheng’s disaster!

Ruan Mian couldn’t care about this place, and immediately headed to Wuheng.

Even if she moved faster, she couldn’t outpace the rushing speed of the flood.

When she arrived at Wuheng like the wind and lightning, she found the villages near the Linfen River shore already submerged in a flood.
