After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 210 That's the Prime Minister's Wife
Everyone lowered their heads in shame; they hadn't believed it at the time.

Peijiawan Village has never experienced any flash floods.

The houses were suddenly swept away and destroyed by a flood right in front of them. They were pulled away by the men in black, and only then, still shaken and frightened, did they believe it.

Some people, upon hearing that a flash flood was coming, even considered going home to collect their valuables.

They were forcibly taken away by the guards!
Everyone lowered their heads and fell silent for a moment.

Liang Yusheng looked curiously at Qi Yunran, who had silenced the angry villagers with just a few words. Who was she?
How could he possibly speak first in front of the Prime Minister?
Do the villagers still listen to her?

Pei Yuanjun sensed a man's gaze on Qi Yunran and glared at him.

Liang Yusheng immediately lowered her head. Magistrate Liang also noticed his son's scrutiny and whispered a warning, "That is the Prime Minister's wife! Don't look around!"

Liang Yusheng was startled. The Prime Minister even brought his wife with him when he went back to his hometown on official business?

He lowered his head and stopped looking.

Pei Yuanjun's eyes flashed with warmth when he saw Qi Yunran speaking up for him!

He looked at the crowd with a more authoritative air: "Our most important task now is to drain the water from the village! I remember there is a large river about a mile from here that flows through dozens of surrounding villages and is used to irrigate the crops of those villages."

Once we dig the canals and divert the water to the main river, the village can be drained clean! We can discuss the next steps after the water is drained!

After Pei Yuanjun finished speaking, Shi An selected several strong young men who were good at swimming to dig a canal!

At this time, they went to search for Pei Wenwen's family, who had been swept away, on a bamboo raft, but there was no news! Everyone knew that they were probably dead.

Pei Xiaoya's family was swept away by the flood to a neighboring town. Pei Xiaoya got stuck in a big tree trunk and was rescued the next day, but her mother and younger brother were nowhere to be found!
The guards, seeing that she was unharmed, did not bring her back. They simply told everyone that she had been rescued in the neighboring village.

Everyone was heavy-hearted and didn't care at all how she would survive!

Liang Yusheng, the son of Magistrate Liang, also volunteered to dig a canal to bring water into the river.

If he could catch the Prime Minister's eye now, it would be extremely beneficial for his future career in the imperial court. Magistrate Liang was delighted with this outcome.

Pei Yuanjun left the remaining women and children to Qi Yunran for arrangement, while he himself led Magistrate Liang and Zhao Baoye up to the study on the second floor!
"Your humble servant greets Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Magistrate Liang immediately bowed.

Pei Yuanjun sat in the main seat and coldly glanced at him: "Magistrate Liang, do you know your crime?"

Magistrate Liang was startled and his scalp tingled. He immediately apologized, "Please, Your Excellency, investigate this matter thoroughly. I have no idea what I have done wrong?"

Although his political achievements during his tenure were not outstanding, he never did anything immoral or immoral!

"Lord Liang, why don't you think about this carefully!" Zhao Baoye suddenly spoke up, fanning himself with his folding fan.

Pei Yuanjun sat coldly in the main seat without saying a word, exuding a chilling aura.

The longer the silence lasted, the cold air in the room seemed to freeze one to the bone. It inexplicably created a suffocating feeling, as if someone were being strangled!

Magistrate Liang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, trembling.

"Magistrate Liang, have you thought this through?"

The sudden voice startled Magistrate Liang, who trembled: "Please enlighten me, young master?"

"Snap..." Zhao Baoye quickly closed the paper fan!

"Magistrate Liang, I ask you, how did the flood control dam in Qingtan County collapse and change direction overnight, flowing all the water towards Peijiawan Village and destroying more than a dozen surrounding villages?"

"This humble official was unaware, please forgive me, Your Excellency!" Magistrate Liang trembled and prostrated himself on the ground. He had indeed just referred to himself as "Your Excellency"!

Originally, he wanted to follow the Prime Minister to make his presence felt and loosen his official position, but he didn't expect to be targeted by them.
