Chapter 38: The Flood

This Master Ma happened to be in charge of this matter, and the Cowherd faintly felt that Ma Hui came very coincidentally. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut his official rank is not as high as Ma Hui's, so he has to go out to pick him up anyway.

The Cowherd welcomed Ma Hui into the county government, and the two exchanged a few polite greetings, and Ma Hui asked directly, "Lord Niu, when I came here just now, I heard from the county that a woman blocked the road and shouted grievances, I don't know what grievances are?" ”

Cowherd didn't want Ma Hui to know about it so quickly, and it was not easy to hide it, so he had to relay the story. Ma Hui was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to send an order to take Yu Boru into custody.

Turning his head and saying to Niu Langzhong, "Lord Niu, you were originally sent by Beijing to supervise water conservancy, and now that this matter has been hit by me, I will take over this matter." You can also finish the water conservancy matter wholeheartedly, I will bring back the witness evidence, please believe that I Ma Hui, will not shield Yu Boru because he is my subordinate. ”

The cowherd is very embarrassed, today this thing is like a marquee, it happened too coincidentally, with his many years of experience as an official, he did not dare to make a judgment, but the situation is no longer under his control, the main thing is that he is not in his position, and he cannot overstep his authority.

So I had no choice but to say, "I believe in Master Ma, no matter what, this matter is encountered by the old man, I still have to report to the court and inform the governor and governor." ”

"This is natural, originally I was taking someone to inspect the progress of the embankment, but now there is such an unjust case, please forgive Ma for not staying for a long time, when you finish this thing, Ma will wash your dust in Hangzhou City." The two exchanged pleasantries, and Ma Hui couldn't wait to take the girl surnamed Guo to set off.

Cowherd looked at the people and horses who left in a hurry, a little worried, and immediately sent letters to several adults in Nanjing, the depth of the water in the south of the Yangtze River is well known, and it seems that he was used as a feller. The old man shook his head, and had no choice but to write another excerpt to the imperial court, and then write a new letter to his old friend, and send someone back to the capital.

Ma Hui knew that there must be suspicions in the Cowherd Center, and he would definitely inform everyone about it. What we have to fight now is the time difference, if Yu Boru is quickly convicted, it will be difficult even if the emperor wants to exonerate him.

The soldiers were very fast, and the people who had arranged it early had already gone to Yu Boru's county to prepare to detain him. Who knows, Yu Boru learned about the opponent's movements early in the morning, and he also made up a story early, pretending that the amount of cement was not enough, and set off to Nanjing Mansion one step earlier.

The person who captured him jumped into the air, knew that things were not good, and immediately went to send a message to Ma Hui.

Here, Wang Lian also got the news, handed over the matter in his hand to his subordinates, and set off for Hangzhou.

Several groups of people acted in unison, crisscrossing in the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River in April, and even the official road post station was inexplicably nervous.

Ma Hui returned to Hangzhou with human and material evidence, and told Sun Ming the news that Yu Boru had gone to Nanjing Mansion. Sun Ming was furious, and several people suspected that there was an inner ghost around them, but at this time, the arrow had to be sent. What's more, Yu Boru can run, and the monk can't run the temple!

Sun Ming asked Ma Hui to take people to surround Yu's mansion immediately, and signed a search warrant, as long as he entered Yu's house and found some stolen money and goods inside, this matter would be completed. Ma Hui didn't even drink tea, and immediately took people out.

Halfway through, he saw Wang Lian and several officials from the Inspectorate meeting them on a narrow road, and Ma Hui chuckled in his heart. "Master Ma, I heard that the Yu Governor's Mansion is involved in a big case, and I am planning to take someone to seal the Yu Mansion."

Ma Huixin said, ahh "Shouldn't Lord Wang be repairing the embankment in the county at this time, how did he know about the matter of Yu Zhifu?"

Wang Lian saw that Ma Hui's face was not good, and his heart was happy, but his face was very heavy, "It was told to me by the Cowherd, and I immediately summoned several colleagues from the Inspectorate to Hangzhou to investigate this matter." ”

Ma Hui saw that Wang Lian was surrounded by people from the Beijing Inspectorate, and he didn't dare to implement it according to the original plan. The two parties restrained each other, but they only sealed the door of Yufu, and there was a leak outside, but they couldn't directly stuff the stolen money and stolen goods in.

"Third sister, now it is rumored in Hangzhou that the Yu family has been involved in a corruption case, and now they are surrounded by officers and soldiers, and I don't know what happened to the sisters of the Yu family." As if by the time the news was received, the matter had already spread in the city of Hangzhou.

Han Qing patted Wanruo's hand and comforted, "Things will definitely fall out, this time with grandfather, they planned in advance, and those bad guys couldn't succeed." ”

As if he was anxious, he didn't care that there was anything wrong with Han Qing's words, "It's just that the aunts and sisters of the Yu family who stayed in Hangzhou are suffering, and the feeling of being besieged must be bad." ”

"Yes, the Yu family is full of women and children who stay at home, so Yu Wenhan is only 5 years old after the New Year." Han Qing couldn't help but worry.

With a snort, the two looked up at the door, only to see a smile and walked in, "You are a little person, you are only 7 years old, and you are worried that Yu Wenhan is young." ”

Han Qing's face turned red, "Big sister laughed at me again, then Yu Wenhan came to our house during the New Year, and he was still holding Grandma Yu and crying his nose, looking at him as an ignorant milk doll, where can he compare with me." ”

"Okay, good, Ah Qing is sensible and smart, but it's not comparable to the milk doll who cries her nose." Wan looked at the two younger sisters, and comforted, "Mother told me, although the Yu family is surrounded now, it is Lord Wang Lian of the Inspectorate who surrounds them, and Lord Wang is the clan of Wang Ge Lao, so naturally he will not give them hardship." Wait until Lord Yu is cleared of charges, and it will be fine. ”

"I see, it's still my grandfather's old plan." It's like clapping your hands and laughing. Hearing Wanruo's words, Wanran couldn't help but smile and shake his head, but he didn't say anything.

Han Qing also thought it was true, in this life, things were prepared in advance, and sure enough, every step was calculated, and there was no more reliable grandfather than Xie Heng.

No matter what Han Qing and the younger daughters of the inner house were talking about, the case was temporarily shelved because Yu Boru was taken into the Governor's Mansion and Wang Lian sent people to surround the Yu Mansion in Hangzhou.

In May, the water level continued to rise in the south of the Yangtze River, and the flood swept in with thunder.

Although the embankment was built with cement this year, the ability to resist the flood has been greatly improved, but there are still places that cannot be taken into account, and the flood finds a fragile breakthrough, and immediately turns the mulberry field into a sea.

Fortunately, residents were evacuated in advance in these weak and remote areas this year, and although it was the largest flood in decades, the casualties were lower than in previous years. This is a great achievement for the officials in Jiangnan.

Nanjing City, in the Jiangnan Governor's Palace.

"It is reported that there are major floods in various parts of the south. In previous years, our three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were the hardest-hit areas, but this year, the least number of places washed out and the least number of deaths were also the lowest. Although he knew that he should be more low-key in the face of the catastrophe, He Sheng still couldn't help the excitement in his heart and said to the two people in the study.

"As long as the flood waters reced, Jiangnan will do a good job of accepting refugees and rebuilding after the disaster, and this level will be over." Wei Zongmin, the governor of Jiangnan, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Like him, it is even more difficult to move to the position of a party leader, and now that such a great achievement is here, seeing that He Sheng will enter the cabinet to pay respects, and take over He Sheng's position, he should be the best choice.

"I also want to thank the two adults for their trust in the Xie family, so that the cement can be implemented so smoothly and these unconventional decrees can be implemented. Xie Zan is here to thank the two adults. ”

"Why is Xie Xian's nephew so polite." He Sheng personally held Xie Zhan's arm, "I think about what kind of friendship I had with Master Taifu back then, why do you need to be polite to us." Besides, this cement is beneficial to the country and the people, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally told it, and now the effect is so great, although everyone didn't expect it, but we are doing a good thing for the people of Jiangnan after all. ”

Xie Zan knew that before the flood, the entire Daqi was suspicious of the noisy implementation of cement in Jiangnan, and many people had the mentality of watching jokes, and He Sheng and Wei Zongmin put a lot of pressure on him. Now that the matter is done, several people are greatly relieved, and he is also very grateful for the trust of the two.

The three of them couldn't help but be a little excited to do such a big thing together, and they felt sorry for each other because of this matter. In the future, the three of them will inevitably remember the affection of working together in Jiangnan on the road to politics, which is a later story.

"Two adults, there is one more thing at the moment, that is, Yu Boru, the prefect of Hangzhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a secret order to me, saying that in the name of disaster relief, I will pass by Jiangnan and close the case."

"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shocked, I think things will go well. But thinking about the disappearance of the prince in Jiangnan last year, my heart is still a little trembling. Wei Zongmin couldn't help but make a joke.

"Presumably, my father will look at His Highness with good eyes this time." Xie Zan also joked.

Several people couldn't help but laugh.
