My mother growled: What are you still doing? Stupid mother doesn't know. The Taoist priest once warned me not to save people during the escape. Once I save my servant, there will be even greater disaster.

Mom said, no reason! A man is a big man in life. As a man, how can he not save others!

Mother's life is hard to violate. The fool threw a rope into the water, the drowning man grabbed the rope, the fool pulled the rope, and the drowning man was saved.

The drowning man got on the boat and the idiot recognized him. It turned out to be the husband of the rich man's family.

The flood raged for 7749 days before it gradually stabilized. Land and houses within 0/00 mile of Fiona Fang/Kloc were flooded. The fleeing crowd is also like a raging torrent. People help the old and carry the young, and complaints abound. No one knows the real cause of the flood.

The gentleman of the rich man's family was saved by an idiot in this life, but he was ungrateful. Instead, he took the complaint and took the idiot to court. The accusation is that such a disaster was caused only by spreading rumors. The government immediately arrested two silly mothers and children. The idiot on the court argued that the little one didn't make a rumor, and the little one met the expert's advice, just to save everyone's life. Big life is stupid. Go to the Taoist priest. Where can I find the vast sea of people? Without circumstantial evidence, your Excellency immediately sentenced the mother and son to death and went to the dungeon.

Seeing my mother involved in this matter, my silly hearts were twisted with knives, so I made a request to the government adults, saying that my old mother was old, how could she stand the darkness and humidity in the dungeon? I want to trade my own dungeon for half my mother's soft room. Surprised, the adults stopped the old man from going to prison and told the chief to make a bed room for the old man.

When the government official walked out of the yamen, he saw countless men and women kneeling on the road in the street, and all of them tried their best to intercede for the mother and son. It is said that fools do all kinds of evil, but they built dozens of boats day and night for the sake of their neighbors' survival, so that the people could survive after a trip. The government felt that the case was very difficult and decided to escort the criminals back to Beijing and hand them over to the emperor for disposal.

According to the criminal law, both mother and son are tied with fetters around their necks, and the fetters are locked. A fool is called a weak mother. How can she stand the shackles? I would like to put a pair of shackles on myself and let myself relax. The adult was shocked and promised to reserve a carriage for the old man.

The emperor has been reported that there was a flood in Jizhou. He was about to send someone to investigate when local officials had brought the perpetrators of the flood to Beijing. The emperor decided to interrogate the case himself.

The trial was held in the golden hall of Babel. The emperor sat majestically on the royal throne, and the civil and military sides stood in the hatchback. The emperor's favorite princess in the harem was 29 years old. When she heard about it, she came to watch the fun and hid in the civil and military.

In the golden palace, the fool told the truth. Before the emperor made a statement, the princess said, Father, in my daughter's opinion, this man can only forgive but not kill. Look at the poor man's innocent brow, not like a liar. And behave correctly, neither humble nor humble, although poor and unyielding, is a gentleman's phase. It's unheard of to put a double cangue and double lock on Gao Tang!

The emperor was embarrassed. What should this person do? A minister in the DPRK offered a proposal: Your Majesty, why not let the poor gamble? Let him decide his own life and death. The minister whispered a few words to the emperor, and the emperor repeatedly called it wonderful!

The monarch and the minister decided to ask the mother and son to do it, bet on three levels and forgive them all. There is a level, but kill!

Level one, do it. Mother and son were locked in an empty room, and a pile of mixed soybean chestnuts consisting of soybeans, black beans, red beans and mung beans was poured in the middle. Tell mother and son to pick up four kinds of beans before dawn and then divide them into four piles. Four candles are provided. If these four candles are lit at the same time, they will burn for an hour. If one candle is lit, the other candle will burn until dawn. Choose for yourself. Check at dawn. If you're finished, go to the next level. If you can't finish it, kill it!

A fool lit a candle and sat down to pick it up. Mom stopped it, son. Don't answer it. A pile of miscellaneous beans, not to mention a night, a month NianLia can't pick up. Your majesty, this is killing us! Why don't we talk at the last minute?

What can NianLia say when disaster strikes? The candlelight flickered and the mother and son were silent.

It's time for Shihai, and suddenly an ant comes in through the crack of the door. Ants circled around the bean pile. Soon, a large group of ants swarmed in, countless, maybe tens of millions, maybe more than 100 million. ...

Ants fight back, and no matter how small and tight the house is, it can't stop ants. Small things have their own division of labor. Those who pick soybeans pick soybeans, and those who pick black beans pick black beans. Ants' petite bodies are good at picking beans, and many ants are strong. At 4: 30, four piles of red, yellow, green and black beans were piled around in a conical shape, and there were no impurities.

Before five o'clock, the ants disappeared without a trace.

At dawn, the guards came to check, and when they saw this situation, they quickly reported it to the emperor. The emperor was frightened: it's amazing. Hey! The princess said with joy that the father kept his word and the mother and son had passed the first level. Is it time to enter the second level?

The second level, gambling. Two candles are lit at the left and right corners of the eaves and lit at dawn. One of the two candles is required to be lit, and the other candle is naturally blown out when it is dark, and the bet is successful before the next level. If both candles are lit, kill them! Kill them both! Kill them!

This is really a big joke! Candles were lit on the eaves in broad daylight, and there was a slight breeze, and all the candles went out. There was no wind or rain on this day, so it was a coincidence that two candles could only be lit at the same time. One was on fire, and the other went out after dark. That's outrageous! I cursed the emperor in my heart, so it's easy for you to cut my NianLia directly!

Besides, an eagle visited the Queen Mother by the Yaochi in Tiangong. The eagle told the story of the world and asked the Queen Mother for help. The queen mother immediately instructed Feng's mother-in-law not to go out today, and even took pains to vent her anger.

In front of the lower palace, candles have been lit. Strange to say, there is no wind today. It's sunny and hot, the branches don't move, the leaves don't shake, and the candlelight is still there. Both the emperor and the Manchu civil servants vomitted to stick out their tongues, hey! How lucky! Hi! There is no wind today. On second thought, the emperor snickered to himself: Don't be busy, wait until dark, if there is no wind for a day, two candles will not be lit!

The day is coming, and the old lady's face is overcast. God opened his eyes. There is no wind or rain today, and candlelight is very strong all day. How does one of them go out naturally? Look at the guards around. Who dares to go forward and put out the candlelight?

The sun was red, and suddenly an eagle fell from the sky. The eagle somersaulted in the air, turned to the right corner of the eaves and swept past. When approaching the candle in the right corner, the eagle's single wing trembled, and the wind on this wing was small and strong, and the candle in the right corner immediately went out. The guard was stunned by this sudden scene. When he came to his senses, the eagle had flapped its wings and disappeared.

It was dark, and two candles were lit on the eaves. The left corner was bright and the right corner was out.

The princess danced with excitement.

The third level, guess. There are twenty boxes in the rotunda. Each box is covered with a bunch of flowers, and each box is covered with a red cloth. Only one of the bouquets is real flowers, and the rest are fake flowers. The courtiers led the fool to the center of the hall, instructed him to guess the real flowers in the box, stood in the hall, did not move, could only look, only had one chance, guessed right, forgave, and killed if guessed wrong!

Idiot hates that his eyes have no puncture function. The hall is surrounded by red cloth, and he can't even see the box. How can he guess the real flowers in the box? In confusion, a group of bees flew into the hall, and bees shuttled in the hall. After a while, all the bees were concentrated on a box, some circled on the box, and some landed on the red cloth. Silly, real flowers have fragrance, but fake flowers don't. And this faint floral fragrance can only be smelled by bees. Silly two guessed right at once.

Manchu looked at each other, and the emperor was even more surprised: Is this person capable or lucky?

The princess was ecstatic: Father, this man is neither skilled nor lucky. This is god's arrangement. The poor son's faithfulness is commendable, which can be described as biting off one's hand, heinous, and filial piety is worth a hundred sins. Father, my daughter won't get married until she is a teenager!

Long live Wenwu, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor! The emperor had no choice but to push the boat with the tide, not only pardoning the mother and son, but also turning the stupid trick into a mother-in-law and a princess. The second fool said, cure the flood first, and then marry the princess after success. Silly two went to the disaster area to take office, and immediately ordered to post searching for you, looking for the unknown person. As soon as the notice was posted, the Taoist priest appeared in the place where Silly Er stayed that night. Taoist first congratulated Silly Er, and then told the truth:

The dry well of the rich man's house is close to a dragon king, whose road is connected with the sea. As time goes on, seawater will penetrate into the shaft wall. However, there is a treasure on the road. This treasure is the treasure of the Dragon Palace. If the treasure blocks the bottom of the well, the sea can't spread. If Bao mentioned that the flood was connected to the wellhead, it was unstoppable. And this matter is a mystery to the world. Young master is not the rich man's own, he has been planning for a long time, and stealing treasures has set up another portal. But the family rules are meticulous and disorganized. The rebellious son took up the heart of killing and attempted to rob by violence. Although the plan was not successful, it was flooded. After being poor for a long time, I heard that teenagers are stupid and kind in the countryside, so I spread my grievances through the mouth of teenagers. When the rebels heard that he really gave up violence, they used the flood as an excuse to try to transfer the treasure and flee to other places. The rich man was unmoved by rumors, so the matter was delayed again and again. This gives teenagers a deadline to build ships. There was no water for months, so that guy did the same thing again and used violence again. Seeing that the flood is inevitable, being poor means sending a child to dye the lion's eyes in the middle of the night to get a flood. Although there was a huge disaster, all people were able to escape and avoid a massacre. This is really the work of teenagers!

Silly idiot is speechless after listening to it. The Taoist priest continued: the rumors of the old adage can't be spread, but if you believe it, you won't believe it, and the perpetrators will be robbed; And you are loyal and kind, so you survived. But the affected waters are connected with the sea, and the water will never retreat.

Fool 2 said, since you know the truth, why don't you expose that fellow's evil desires, tell the people in advance, and then try to fill them up with earth, so as not to break the future trouble? Why did my mother and son go to the temple of hell? Taoist laughed and said, the mystery of heaven and earth is endless. No one on earth can stop this disaster! Say that finish stealth.

Idiot, curse, devil! Fuck you, ancestors! On second thought, pat the forehead, fuck it! The mystery of the flood was finally solved, and the fool brought the rich to justice. Subsequently, human and material resources were used to build docks and docks in the surrounding areas, calling on the people to go fishing and live and work in peace and contentment. He also salvaged the treasure by boat and then returned to Beijing to defend it. The emperor was more satisfied with Bao Longxin and chose a good day to marry Princess Xu.

Silly two married a beautiful princess and took my mother to the palace to enjoy retirement. (End)
