The Government Official saw that his superior was still unmoved, knowing that the superior hadn't realized the severity of the situation yet.
The Government Official wiped the rain off his face and shouted, "Sir! This is a very serious breach of the Changtian Prefecture's embankment, flooding nearly a dozen villages, with an estimated death toll around seven to eight thousand."
"What?" Yang Chaoying turned around in shock, looking at the constable with disbelief in his eyes.
"How many people did you say died?" Yang Chaoying's hands trembled, rainwater mixing into his mouth, tasting like rust.
"We can only estimate temporarily, about eight thousand. Even the Prefectural Magistrate's Office of Changtian Prefecture is flooded, and the area downstream of the Changtian Prefecture is submerged by the river."
Yang Chaoying stood dumbfounded on the spot; he hadn't expected the situation to be so severe.
