Because of Kuang Hua's great attention, it didn't take long for this treasury silver to arrive in Hengshui County, and Cao Xie was personally responsible for using it.

In fact, before the treasury arrived, Wen Cheng had already organized people to start repairing the embankment, but because the entire embankment defense line was too long, Cao Xie specially arranged him on the most important embankment in order not to let Wen Cheng get tired.

For Cao Jie's arrangement, Wen Cheng doesn't care, although the supervision project is tiring, but after all, it is a major matter of human life, and it is worth it no matter how tired it is.

Since Cao Xie only asked him to deal with the most important embankment, he had to concentrate on doing this task well.

In this way, it didn't take long for the entire Yokogawa embankment to be filled with the figures of workers at work.

These workers were recruited from various places, including Hengsui County, Beiyuan County, Fufeng County, and even further Beifu County, some of whom were forcibly conscripted, and some of whom came for the wages promised by the government.

However, God does not seem to be very beautiful, in recent days, although the rain has a small trend, it has not stopped, which has caused a lot of impact on the construction progress of the entire embankment.

The project, which was originally planned to be completed in one month, was dragged out to two months.

Two months later, the construction sites were completed one after another, and some foremen had already begun to find the government to settle the work.

In a town full of antiquity, the hazy drizzle hangs the whole town in the mist, and the thin lines that can't be seen envelop the whole town, like a puppet pulling the strings, and there is a pair of invisible big hands controlling all this.

The rain droplets hit the moss-covered stone road on the side of the road, the stone road is not long, but it is in this short distance, there are corpses lying horizontally, not far from a road, there is a group of black-clothed people chasing and killing a few people, there is a middle-aged man in this group of people, holding a knife, while dealing with the chasing black-clothed people, while escorting everyone to retreat.

This middle-aged man's martial arts skills are not particularly superb, and he doesn't even know how to fight qi, but there are no masters in this group of people in black who can obviously use battle qi, and they can barely cope with it.

In this way, in this unknown town, an earth-shattering scene was staged.

And the most coincidental thing is that not far from this town is the Henghe embankment supervised by Wencheng.

While the surrounding embankments were being completed one after another, the place that Wen Cheng supervised was still proceeding in an orderly manner, without much impact at all, as if isolated from the world around him.

It's not that Wen Cheng is procrastinating, but that the progress of this embankment is really slow, and Wen Cheng is also curious, why is the progress in other places so fast, he is doing it in strict accordance with the steps said by the craftsman, and he does not deliberately speed up the progress of the project.

After all, the master craftsmen who built the embankment said that if it is to catch up with the schedule, the cement is not easy to solidify and is easy to be washed away by water. Wen Cheng heard this, but he didn't dare to fight at all.

At this time, Wen Cheng was standing on the high ground with an umbrella and looking at the busy figure on the embankment, and a close attendant ran up from the side, looking hurried, and whispered a few words in Wen Cheng's ear.

"Really?" asked Wen Cheng with a look of surprise.

The attendant arched his hand and said, "My lord, please come with me." ”

As he spoke, he led the way ahead.

Wen Cheng followed the attendant to a forest. In the woods, a group of guards surrounded a wounded man.

Wen Cheng walked up and took a look, this person was poorly dressed, the dirt on his body was not dry, and he looked like a worker on the construction site, Wen Cheng saw that he was still alive, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "How are you? What happened?"

The wounded man had a cut in his abdomen, and he didn't live long, so he pointed forward with all his might, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth, stiffened up, crooked his neck, and left.

"Quick, come on, go to the front and have a look. Wen Cheng immediately reacted and sent someone to rush in the direction pointed by the man.

After a while, a squire ran up and said breathlessly, "My lord, there is a situation. We found a group of men in black chasing and killing a group of civilians in front of us, so we rescued them. ”

"What about the men in black?"

"Lord Bing, when this group of black-clothed people saw us going, they fled one after another, and their subordinates have sent people to pursue us. Subordinates had examined the body and had not found any information on it. ”

Wen Cheng nodded.

"Bring that group of people here, and ask the officer. ”

After a while, a group of attendants came over with people in twos and threes.

Wen Cheng raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance at first sight, he pointed to the person and said, "You...... Aren't you the butler of the Han Mansion?"

The person Wen Cheng was referring to was the housekeeper in Han Ming's mansion, Ye Die's father, Ye Hao.

Ye Hao also knew Wen Cheng, so he replied: "My lord, I am the housekeeper of the Han Mansion, Ye Hao, I have seen my lord again." ”

"Why are you here, Brother Han?"

"My lord, I am specifically returning to my hometown to save my relatives, and I accidentally found that someone was committing a murder, so I came to help. Ye Hao explained.

"What's going on, you come and tell the official. Wen Cheng hurriedly asked him.

"My lord, I don't know exactly what this is. So, I'll let my old brother tell you about it. With that, Ye Hao pulled out an older person.

Wen Cheng nodded, "It's okay, then let's talk about it and see what's going on." ”

This person was pulled out by Ye Hao, and said tremblingly: "Lord Bing, the villain was originally a worker on the Henghe embankment, and the government recruited everyone to come to repair the embankment, which is a good thing. But the villain has been in the craftsman supervisor before, these days, the materials and labor used to repair the embankment, the villain is in the eyes, if it is usually okay, but it has been raining for several months, if it continues like this, the embankment can not be stopped, so the villain gave advice to the supervisor of the embankment, but this group of people did not pay attention to it at all. At this, the man sighed.

The villain knew that if this continued, the problem would get bigger and bigger, but no one believed what the villain said, so he told the villagers in the same shed, and when the villagers heard it, they decided to go and tell the superintendent together. ”

At this, the old man began to cry.

"Woo...... I killed them. If the villain hadn't told them these things, they wouldn't have been hunted down. ”

Seeing this, Ye Hao walked up to comfort the old man.

"Don't be sad, brother, your lordship will administer justice for us. When the time comes, I will definitely be able to avenge these villagers. ”

"You mean that the builders of the embankment are shoddy and shoddy......?"

The more Wen Cheng listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled, if it was really as this person said, then this matter was not a trivial matter.

Thinking of this, he immediately clapped his palms.

"Everyone, this official will first find a stable place for the big guys, and everyone will live first. Next, the official will carefully and thoroughly investigate the matter, and if the matter is true, it will be strictly investigated. ”

When everyone heard Wen Cheng's words, they all nodded happily, and the old man also wiped his tears and nodded.

Then, Wen Cheng began to arrange it, first sending people to the capital to inform the Wen family, transferring more people over, and then letting people dress up in disguise and secretly investigate the repair of each embankment.

In addition to these arrangements, Wen Cheng also reserved an eye, that is, to send someone to secretly investigate Cao Jie.

Wen Cheng guessed that if Cao Xie was also involved in this incident, the severity of the problem would be completely different, which would mean that the entire Yokogawa Dam disaster money might have been lost.

But in his heart, Wen Cheng doesn't really believe that Cao Xie will be this kind of person, he is still quite good to himself, and he is capable of doing things, he hopes that he thinks too much.
