.The people here are dressed in public uniforms and are talking about something. Suddenly, they heard a sound. When they saw a young man running on horseback, they stood here in panic, but saw the young man shouting: "Where is the magistrate?"

These officials thought they had met a bad guy, but after watching for a long time, they were still not afraid of this young man. At this time, an official who was about half a century old came out and said, "I am the magistrate of this county who are you?"

Wang Xian quickly got off the horse and asked, "Have the gate been opened?"

The magistrate said inexplicably, "Who are you?"

Wang Xian said helplessly: "I am the magistrate of Changhua County, Hangzhou and heard that Gui County was going to open the gate and release water. I came to ask the magistrate for some love. I hope that the magistrate can not open the gate for the sake of the millions of people in Changhua County."

The magistrate was stunned and then looked at Wang Xian and hesitated: "Are you the magistrate of Changhua?"

Wang Xian nodded and then took out Changhua's seal from his clothes and handed it to the magistrate.

The magistrate looked carefully and then changed his face and said, "It turns out that he is the magistrate of the neighboring county. Is he really unrespectful just now. My husband's surname is Hu Quan's name. Hu Zhongshang dares to ask about your great name?"

Wang Xian said the name and said, "It's really wrong to come here to disturb the Lord. However, I was anxious and rushed over overnight. I just wanted Lord Hu, you can understand something..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a lot of noises. Then the soldiers surrounded him. One of them was holding Zhu Qiang and saw Hu Zhongshang and said, "Sir, this man has come over without authorization, we have caught him and asked him to leave."

Wang Xian quickly explained: "Minister Hu came with me, but a yamen runner from this county had no choice but to break in and ask the magistrate not to worry about it."

Hu Zhongshang was stunned and then waved his hand and said, "Let him go."

After Zhu Qiang was released, he immediately ran behind Wang Xian. He was anxious and broke in alone. Although he led the soldiers away so that Wang Xian could come in, he was stopped shortly after running and was immediately caught by many people. So he was still afraid that he would not dare to stand out again.

"Mr. Wang is not a place to speak here, so let's go to the pavilion over there to talk." Hu Zhongshang was very polite and signaled to the officials beside him to give way to Wang Xian, and then said to the soldiers: "You continue to take care of them and don't let others come."

Wang Xian was very anxious, but he walked into the pavilion before he could sit down and said, "Mr. Hu is really anxious. I beg you to agree not to open the gate for the time being."

Hu Zhongshang signaled Wang Xian to sit down and said, "Mr. Wang, the river has been surging soaring these days, I have suffered a lot. I was afraid that this small county in Jixi will sink to the bottom of the water and will be frightened and unable to sleep and eat."

He looked at Wang Xian and said, "Now the water in Zixi in the east is too large and it may overflow and harm the whole county at any time. So I discussed with the officials of all sizes in the county and felt that the sluice must be opened now, Lord Wang, you must also understand me."

Wang Xian hurriedly said, "Sir, the situation has changed now. The cracked water in the lower reaches of Zixi has flowed eastward. If the gate is opened, it will really flood Changhua County. Please consider that our two counties are adjacent to each other and do not open the gate and release water for the time being."

Hu Zhongshang was stunned and said, "So that's the downstream has been broken?"

Wang Xian nodded and explained: "Master Hu, think about it, now the water situation in the downstream has been broken. If the gate is opened and water is released, wouldn't it be a fire to add fire? After a short time, the water from the upper reaches of Zixi rushed out. The soil below is soft and it must be to protect it. The water situation will be a cordless horse. The blind-eyed eagle crashes into Changhua County. It is also over. So I beg you to think of the benefits of the people. Don't open the gate for the time being."

Hu Zhongshang pondered for a moment and then sighed: "Mr. Wang is not me, I don't want to help you, but I also have my own difficulties. Please raise your eyes and knock on Zixi."

Wang Xian turned his head and looked at the pavilion in the distance. He could see the view of Zixi, but he saw that Zixi was like a cup of white water and was about to burst out. It seemed that it was about to break through the river bank immediately.

He was looking at it but heard Hu Zhongshang say, "Mr. Wang, you see it too. I can't control this stream. If the gate is not opened, the danger will not be broken. If there is another heavy rain, then I will be finished in Jixi County. So..."

Wang Xian waved his hand quickly and said, "Mr. Hu, no, will there be rain again."

Hu Zhongshang was stunned and looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "If it is still gloomy today, where does Lord Wang come from?"

Wang Xian also rushed out just now. Now when he heard his question, he had to slander: "Actually, I can see the celestial phenomena and the heavy rain has been over for several days. Last night, I saw that although it was dark, it was a starry sky. Then I calculated that today's celestial phenomena came to know that the sky turned brighter and there was no worry about heavy rain."

Hu Zhong couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Oh? Lord Wang actually knows so much about the celestial phenomena?"

Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Wang Xian turned his mind and smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, you don't know that the art of observing the celestial phenomena is like the teacher who is learning. The teacher can observe the sky and measure the seasons next year. The wind and rain are dull and lazy. Only learn the little skills of the teacher. Although he dare not show his ugly selves in front of the masters, he will not talk nonsense. This is the way of heaven."

Hu Zhongshang was frightened by his words and asked in surprise: "Dare you ask about the name of respecting the teacher?"

Wang Xian said solemnly: "Although my mentor does not recognize me as a lazy student, so I don't want me to mention his name, but now Mr. Hu asked me, I had to say that my mentor's man's name is Shen, his name is Kuo, and his name is Cunzhong, have you heard of it?"

Hu Zhongshang looked surprised and then turned into admiration, "I'm really rude. It turns out that Lord Wang is Mr. Shen's student. I think who in the world can observe the celestial phenomena and test the funeral afterwards is the only one Shen Cunzhong. No wonder Lord Wang, you just said that it will soon clear. Not to mention that Mr. Shen's student, even if he only learned 10% of his skills, I will definitely not be wrong. I'm really clumsy."

He asked Wang Xian to sit down and speak again, and became a little respectful, which made Wang Xian stunned.

In fact, Shen Kuo's name has a great influence in the Jiangnan generation. He was also born in Qiantang County, Hangzhou. He was also a chief clerk in the county and later served as the chief clerk of the Tianjian Department. He was in charge of observing the astronomical phenomena, which was both a calculation calendar and a commander of the people's seasons.

Once, the Yangtze River was in an abnormal state. Shen Kuo was still in Bianjing and immediately let the Yangtze River release water. Not long after, heavy rain fell from the sky, but the Yangtze River was not very high. The people were safe and sound. Everyone at that time said that Shen Kuo could follow the will of heaven and seek good weather.

Later, the more he spread, the more powerful Shen Kuo seemed to become a master who could know when to get rain and when to get sunny. Some people rumored that in northern Jiangsu, Shen Kuo knelt on the ground and begged for rain in just one stick of incense. The rain fell from the sky for half a day and got three feet of water.

It is also said that Shen Kuo is related to the Yangtze River and the water god of the Yellow River. There are major disasters every year when the water falls. Shen Kuo once passed by the Yellow River and worshiped the river for several years. The Yellow River no longer harmed the people.

These messy things went on and on, but the people of Jiangnan all knew that Shen Kuo was a powerful man. Hu Zhongshang was born and raised in Jiangnan and naturally believed that these things were very much believed. At this time, when he heard that Wang Xian claimed to be Shen Kuo's apprentice, he naturally became extremely respectful.

Wang Xian didn't know that he was concerned about the issue of water release. At this time, he was about to ask, but he heard Hu Zhongshang sigh and said, "The respect for the teacher is a man who is willing to be a god. Can you know the seasons change and the river water rises and falls, but it's a pity that I've gone. I thought no one could get his skills again, but I didn't expect that he would have a student who would be lucky!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wang Xian say, "What! Shen Kuo is dead?"

Hu Zhongshang was surprised and looked at Wang Xian with a grown-up mouth, but heard him crying and saying, "I have always been thinking about my teacher. My teacher always thought he was still alive in my heart. I just heard Lord Hu say that my teacher has gone to the immortal, so I was so excited. Don't blame me, Lord."

He didn't have a completely pretended expression and heard Hu Zhongshang say that Shen Kuo was dead, he was indeed extremely shocked. He remembered the old man who was still talking in the restaurant when he saw Shen Kuo in the past, but he didn't expect that he had passed away. What he felt made him feel at a loss.

Hu Zhongshang then understood and quickly explained: "Mr. Wang, I understand that although Master Wang, he has passed away, he always lives in our hearts."

Wang Xian sighed and remembered what he was going to do and said quickly: "Then Lord Hu will help you with this, so don't open the floodgates and release water for the time being."

Hu Zhongshang thought about it and said hesitantly: "Then I will give Lord Wang some more time. If the rain stops falling, then I will give up. If the rain continues, then I can only open the gate and release the water."

Wang Xian said happily: "I'll thank you Lord Hu. You are also the savior of my fellow villagers in Changhua County."

Hu Zhongshang couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just a matter of raising hands."

Wang Xian felt a big stone fell in his heart, which was particularly comfortable, and he bowed again and said, "Then I'll ask the lord to go and give me instructions to avoid the officials who opened the gate privately, what do you think?"

"This is definitely not." Hu Zhongshang smiled slightly and saw that Wang Xian was quite worried and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I'll tell them so that you won't be worried, Lord Wang."

Wang Xian said happily: "Thank you, Lord Hu."

Hu Zhongshang smiled and walked out first, but he didn't want to see someone shouting: "Sir, the gate is opened! The gate is opened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xian, who was sitting, stood up and walked over immediately.

Hu Zhongshang frowned and said, "What are you talking nonsense?"

The man said anxiously: "It's not a little nonsense, it's true that the county magistrate was next to the sluice gate to wait for the sluice. But when he waited, he didn't see the sluice. He saw that it was getting late, so he asked someone to open the sluice and came over to report to you."

Hu Zhongshang shouted: "It's really a matter of making your own decision!"

Wang Xian was shocked when he heard this, saying, "Master Hu, we will go there soon, otherwise it will be too late."

Hu Zhongshang also nodded but heard Wang Xian shouting: "Zhu Qiang, hurry up and ride your horse and carry Lord Hu, we can't delay, we must go there quickly!"

Zhu Qiang heard him speak very quickly and responded quickly, then ran over there and led his two horses over.

Wang Xian first rode his horse and said loudly: "Go away!"

Although Hu Zhongshang was not old yet, he was still fifty years old. He was sitting behind Zhu Qiang and couldn't help but be frightened. But not long after, they stopped and heard the sound of running water.

Wang Xian held Hu Zhongshang with him and entered the small house next to the sluice.

A few people in the room were chatting and saw Hu Zhongshang walking in, then quickly stood up and said, "Sir."

Hu Zhongshang stared at a person in the middle and said, "Captain Yi, why are you so confused, you can open the gate without waiting for me to come?"

The man in the middle was slightly stunned and then said, "Sir, have you ordered the gate to open today? I saw it late, so I asked someone to open the gate and release the water..."

Hu Zhongshang shouted: "Make your own decision! Go and ask someone to close the gate!"

The man in the middle said in surprise: "Sir..."

Hu Zhongshang frowned and said, "You might as well go!"

The man immediately responded and took the man out with him. Hu Zhongshang said apologetically to Wang Xian: "Mr. Wang is really reckless and actually opened the gate without authorization. I'm sorry, Lord Wang."

Wang Xian waved his hand and looked at the surging water that was rushing outward. The snow-white patch hit the rocks everywhere. It made a huge sound like a thousand shocking giants of rays. It was like thousands of beasts slaughtering and rushed straight to the horizon. He looked for a while and then said with great concern: "It's hard to close the gate."
