The heavy rain poured down, blocking some people's paths and concealing many truths.
Zhao Hanzhang stood by the window watching the rain for half the night. The next morning, upon waking, Shi Jian came to report that the soil and rocks from the mountain had rolled down, blocking the road down the mountain. "Last night's rain was heavy, and the mountain road is slippery. We're traveling with the elderly and young, so it might be dangerous, therefore..."
Zhao Hanzhang said smoothly, "Then let's stay another day and have people clear the road."
Shi Jian agreed, immediately assigning people to clear the mountain road. They returned in the afternoon covered in mud, reporting that the road was too slippery. They fell several times while clearing it, some even got injured. It was truly dangerous, and they requested Zhao Hanzhang for an additional two days of leniency.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said, "Very well, then we'll stay two more days."
