Chapter 456: The Ditch

Guo Wenying is naturally not afraid, not because Feng Jingting will stand up for her, it's just that what she does is for the benefit of the country and the people, compared to those who seek personal gain for their own selfish interests, she is naturally justified.

Qi Huaishan naturally didn't dare to retaliate against Guo Wenying openly, but he was a Shangguan, and it was easy to play small tricks behind his back.

On this day, he called Guo Wenying to him, and said with a smirk: "Lord Guo, now that spring has begun, the underground waterways should also be opened." Mr. Dong, who was in charge of this matter before, took leave, so you will be responsible for this matter. ”

As the so-called stinky ditch opens, it is the time to open the stinky ditch when spring is approaching every year. In these days, there is always a rancid smell that permeates the whole of Kyoto, and people do not want to go out on the streets. Everyone knows that opening a stinky ditch is not a good errand, the stinky ditch is opened every year, blocked every year, and the silver thrown into it is gone. This work is dirty and tiring, not to mention, and it is not pleasing to please, so it is naturally not a good errand, and who is usually sent to it, who is not happy. This year, it was good, but it fell on Guo Wenying's head.

Guo Wenying naturally knew that this was aimed at her, Qi Huaishan was holding back the fire in his belly, so he naturally had to find a way to make up for it, and it was not okay to prevent him from venting. She didn't want to complain to Feng Jingting for everything, so she could only agree.

Coming out of the official room, several adults pointed at her, and some of them whispered: "Lord Guo, the matter of underground sewers, don't take it too seriously." ”

Guo Wenying let out an "oh", "What do you mean, adult?"

The man looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, there are only one or two people who contract the waterway project every day, and they are all from some forces in Sijiu City, and none of them are easy to provoke. ”

Guo Wenying also knew that this person was kind enough to remind her, but she was really not afraid of any ruffians and hooligans, hmph, the power of Sijiu City, it is no wonder that this ditch is blocked every year. Either don't let her take care of it, as long as she does, don't blame her for being ruthless, she wants to kill this crooked wind, but she wants to see if this ditch can't be cured.

told Deng Jiucheng and asked him to arrange for someone to inspect the underground waterway with her, Deng Jiucheng is a right waiter, and this right is still there, so he immediately found two master books and sent a few messengers to follow.

Yunmo and Xu Ying were afraid that something would happen to their adults, so they followed behind, and Yunmo also asked someone to notify the secret guards and send additional personnel to protect them in case of accidents.

Feng Jingting also knew that Guo Wenying usually did things straightforwardly, and he offended a lot of people, so he couldn't help but feel at ease, so he sent someone to keep an eye on her whereabouts in order to protect her at any time.

Guo Wenying also knew this, and acted much bolder than before, and she took a group of people to several ditches in Beijing.

As the political center of the Qi Dynasty, the drainage facilities in the capital are of course no exception to regional and hierarchical differences. The inner city, especially the eastern city, was mostly the residences of officials and dignitaries, and there were complete sewers to the main drainage canals. Drainage facilities in residential areas are relatively poor.

The main ones are the inner city along the east and west city walls, the inner city along the east and west of the city wall, the east of the outer city Sanli River from the big stone bridge to the Guangqu Gate in the open ditch, and the southeast of Chongwen Gate across the east and west of the flower market street ditch.

Guo Wenying took people around, and sure enough, there was a lot of silting everywhere, looking at the thickness of the silt in the silted place, it was not accumulated in a year or two at all. It seems that the trench has not been properly cleaned for at least ten years. Although it is ostensibly ditched every year, in fact, the money may not be filled by anyone.

She was looking at it, and suddenly a fat man ran upside down in small steps, with too much flesh on his body, shaking while running, and he was tired of looking at the fat oil.

The fat man ran closer and immediately laughed, "Oh, my lord, why did you come here yourself, this place is dirty and smelly, and your shoes are dirty again." ”

Guo Wenying suddenly felt quite familiar when she saw the person, and she forgot where she had seen it for a while, so she asked, "Who is this person?"

A master said: "Lord Hui, this person is Boss Jia who undertakes the trench project every year." ”

The fat man saw Guo Wenying looking at him, and said with a smile: "Go back with the adult, the little Jia Dapeng has seen the adult." ”

When he smiled, Guo Wenying remembered that she had indeed seen this person, but he was only in the prison of the Criminal Department. The image of breaking Qin Yuyan's legs and pushing them inside was so obscene that she forgot what his face looked like just by paying attention to his movements. When I thought about it at this time, I suddenly felt a kind of diaphragm in my heart, this Jia Dapeng is not a good thing at first glance, and those who can do such dirty things have long been dirty.

Jia Dapeng didn't recognize Guo Wenying for a while, Guo Wenying is two completely different images at this time and in prison, a female prisoner in prison and a high-ranking court official, the gap between them is too big, and it is not easy for people to remember.

This Jia Dapeng is the owner of Jiajia's South Goods Store, usually doing some leather business, transporting some jewelry and porcelain out of the country, and his family also opens the largest South Goods Store in Beijing, and also contracts some things entrusted by the Ministry of Industry every day, and this kind of thing is not his turn, but he is generous, and he has some connections, many officials of the Ministry of Industry are surrounded by him, and he can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver from this project alone every year.

Hearing that Guo Wenying came to inspect the ditch, Jia Dapeng immediately rushed to pat himself on the back, and secretly raced a silver ticket when people were not paying attention, and said in a low voice: "This is for filial piety." ”

Guo Wenying glanced at him, and didn't reach out to take it, only half-truths and half-truths: "Boss Jia has made a lot of money in this business, and it is a thousand taels when he makes a move, so generous." ”

Jia Dapeng didn't understand what she meant for a while, in the past, it was customary for officials to come and give a filial piety, everyone tacitly accepted it by tuck into their sleeves and smiled, and they had never seen such a prevarication.

What does she mean by that?

Guo Wenying didn't accept the silver ticket, but only looked at him coldly, "Boss Jia still concentrates on clearing the ditch, don't use your mind on the side, be careful that you can't make up for any mistakes." ”

Jia Dapeng was stunned by her, and when he saw her turn around and leave, he couldn't help but secretly ask someone to ask, what is the origin of this Lord Guo?

A familiar one told him, "Let me tell you, this adult is amazing, don't look at it now just a five-rank Langzhong, that used to be the commander of the third grade, I heard that he has a good relationship with many big people in the court, and even the emperor is very favorable, otherwise how can a woman be an official?"

Jia Dapeng was stunned for a moment, "She's a woman?"

The man scoffed, "You're stupid, don't you see the two bulging ones on your chest?

Jia Dapeng really felt that he was a little stupid, just now he just paid attention to the other party's face, and felt that it was the most beautiful thing he had seen in his life, and he seemed to feel a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen it. I was stunned for a moment, and I really didn't notice that she was a woman.
