130. The catastrophe began

For this reason, the people of the two villages were very worried for a long time. Chang Jiwen www.biquge.info who wrote the pen even planned to move the whole family back to Zhuanshui City. Fortunately, after the collapse of Cheng'en Temple, there was no movement, and the people in the village gradually settled down. Some bold young people have also been there. In addition to the traces of collapse, there is a large stone and a well on the slope of Cheng'en Temple. I don't know how deep the well is, but the water in it is clear and sweet. Because it is on the edge of a pit, it has been preserved.

I don't know what part of the temple was the big stone, and it was carved with small Buddha statues that were more than four inches high. There are also some words that I don't recognize. Later, according to the knowledgeable elders of the village, those were supposed to be Sanskrit.

The young men carried the stone and covered the only remaining well in Cheng'en Temple. It's also a sign of its existence.

The name Cheng'en Temple gradually faded from people's memories. That place came to be known as 'Sigou'.

Cheng Linghui had a nightmare after she went back. In my dream, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and the lake poured back. When I woke up, I broke out in a cold sweat. Somehow, I remembered that year in the Luohe estuary disaster relief, she chased Su Tong to the canyon. That time, Su Tong got the legendary heirloom jade seal, but he almost hid there. In the dream, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and the lake water poured into the scene was exactly what Cheng Linghui saw in the canyon at that time.

However, as time passed, the uneasiness in Cheng Linghui's heart faded.

Seeing that the year is more than halfway through, except for a light rain of apricot blossoms in February. The entire Nanzhili, together with Henan, the Central Plains still has not rained. After three consecutive years of drought, the people's lives have been very difficult.

Because Chengjiazhuang has the grain accumulated by the sixth master when he was the village head, there has not been a phenomenon of starvation to death in the village. The situation in other villages is not optimistic. Fortunately, the big families in Shaxi County have always had the style of benevolence and kindness. In previous years, no one took the lead, but now the Chang family has returned for several years. Naturally, it is important to give up the matter of relieving the neighbors. Uncle Chang is not necessarily a benevolent person, but because of his family style, he still has the courage to take responsibility in similar incidents.

Perhaps because of the folk customs of Shaxi County, there are very few officials who come to Shaxi County to be county magistrates, and there are few corrupt and corrupt officials.

The non-governmental disaster relief led by the Chang family opened the prelude to Shaxi County's independent disaster relief. Immediately after, when the county commander did not receive the order from the peak, he resolutely opened the official warehouse to release grain. As an official, this is a very risky one. I don't know if the people of Shaxi County can bring unlimited courage to officials. Every county magistrate in Shaxi County has more or less done this kind of risky thing for the people. It's amazing when you think about it.

Chang Jiwen is a grain business, why doesn't he help the people in his hometown?

There's a reason for that. The Chang family started as an oil mill. There are many grain and oil shops at home. Chang Jiwen went into business after the separation. The original ancestral property was in Shaxi County and was given to the eldest brother to take care of. If he drove the grain store into Shaxi County, it would be to rob his brother's business. You can't do that.

It is enough for the Chang family to have an uncle come forward for disaster relief, he and his second brother can each take out some food to donate, and there is no need for him to show his head at all. As for fame or something, it's really not as complicated as people think now. Uncle Chang represents the entire Chang family on the bridge. With a good name, the whole clan is glorious, and there is no need to implement it on everyone's head at all.

Don't think that Chang Jiwen is idle, his purpose is more ambitious than Uncle Chang's. If Cheng Linghui has Chengjiazhuang in his heart, then Uncle Chang has Shaxi County in his heart, and Chang Jiwen has the entire Kaizhou Mansion in his heart.

The more serious the disaster, the busier Chang Jiwen became. The price of grain in Kaizhou Prefecture has been rising rapidly, and there has been a phenomenon of large households covering their warehouses and reluctant to sell. The prefect of Kaizhou couldn't bear it anymore and reported it to the imperial court. At this time, Chang Jiwen hung a notice in front of the yamen of the Kaizhou prefect and sold grain at a reasonable price. And it's unlimited.

He came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to sell grain, even if it was sold at the previous parity price of Kaizhou Prefecture, it would be profitable. However, with so many people in Kaizhou Capital, it is really not easy to achieve unlimited amounts.

Chu Fengsheng knew that before the disaster broke out, Chang Jiwen was desperately saving food in his hands. But those grains are a drop in the bucket for the entire Kaizhou capital. Chu Fengsheng, a little girl who has always been quite successful in the shopping mall, couldn't help but panic when she saw this scene. hurriedly ran to Chengjiazhuang to move Cheng Linghui, hoping that she would persuade Chang Jiwen.

At the entrance of the Kaizhou prefect's office, Cheng Linghui has been here several times. But only once in there. Chang Jiwen didn't know what method he used, when Cheng Linghui arrived, he actually sat on the steps in front of the yamen and drank and chatted with the prefect. Turning a blind eye to the people on the other side who are making a fuss and rushing to grab food from their homes.

People are like this, the more things they lack, the more they rush home. Chang Jiwen has only five buddies, and they are all busy. If it weren't for the officers and soldiers to maintain order, I am afraid that the panicked and restless people would have been trampled into mud by this time.

Chang Jiwen was still a little surprised to see Cheng Linghui. The two of them were a little different from ordinary couples, and they already knew each other's thoughts with their eyes on each other. Chang Jiwen knew that Cheng Linghui was here to persuade him, and Cheng Linghui also knew that Chang Jiwen seemed to be gentle, but if he made up his mind, it would be difficult for him to move.

Even if he forcibly turned his mind around, he would definitely be depressed. Compared with the gains and losses of money, Cheng Linghui cares more about whether Chang Jiwen is happy or not. Money, it's a big deal to make it when it's gone.

Chu Fengsheng didn't know the kung fu of this moment, and the two of them had already made a heart-to-heart meeting. I saw Chang Jiwen coming over and gently holding Cheng Linghui's hand, and Cheng Linghui smiled. The husband and wife actually said goodbye to the prefect, and Shi Shiran left.

Gone, really gone.

Chu Feng stomped his feet angrily: "You don't care, I don't care." ”

The husband and wife did not go back to the grain store, but went to the small courtyard that Chang Jiwen bought in Kaizhou Mansion.

Chang Jiwen hasn't been home for several days. As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to pounce on Cheng Linghui. Cheng Linghui half-pushed: "When is it, and you still have this thought?" ”

Chang Jiwen didn't care about those, he was full of food and drink, lying on the bed and half-hugging his wife to complain about his grievances: "When you are at home, you are either thinking about this, or thinking about which, how can you be arbitrary here?" ”

Cheng Linghui curled up in her husband's arms like a docile cat: "You don't have to worry at all, there will be no grain to sell to the people at that time, and the people will tear down your grain store in anger?" ”

Chang Jiwen didn't care: "What are you afraid of?" It's a big deal to cover it later. ”

Cheng Linghui said: "Look at your appearance, do you have a perfect plan?" ”

Chang Jiwen shook his head: "There is no perfect plan, only an empty city plan." You've come just in time. said, attached to Cheng Linghui's ear like this, that kind of explanation. ”

Cheng Linghui was stunned: "I can't imagine that you look honest and have such a flowery heart?" ”

Chang Jiwen said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you want to know, sleep with the master." I've slept with you for so long, and I'm ashamed to only learn a little fur. Otherwise, you can teach me again......" Cheng Linghui had already been rubbed under his body again as he spoke.

Cheng Linghui only felt that she had melted into a pool of spring water......

Little Bie is newlywed. The two fought for a long time. Chang Jiwen let Cheng Linghui go. Cheng Linghui got up, because it was not early, and if she wanted to rush back to Chengjiazhuang before dark, she had to ride a horse. For convenience, Cheng Linghui found Chang Jiwen's clothes to wear. She didn't wear Chang Jiwen's clothes once or twice, but as soon as she wore them on her body this time, she immediately noticed a difference. Jiwen's clothes in the past were still a little loose on her, but today she is a little restrained.

She looked down and saw that the placket of her shirt was stretched tightly on her chest. Only then did I notice that I didn't know when I had grown a plump body of flesh. I don't know if I can climb on horseback.

Chang Jiwen, who was lying on the bed, suddenly got off the bed and hugged her. The breath blowing in her ears became heavy again: "Or, don't leave today and stay for the night, right?" ”

Cheng Linghui hasn't recovered from the previous amazement: "I'm also worried, I don't know if I can still climb on horseback." Just this fat body, still don't you press the horse down? ”

Chang Jiwen's hand was already dishonestly roaming over her: "Where is the fat?" Let me see. "Skillfully peel off the clothes that Cheng Linghui just put on.

Cheng Linghui blocked him: "Don't make trouble." ”

Chang Jiwen said unrelentingly: "Who made you look so attractive? It makes people's mouths dry at the first sight. Look at this arm......" Cheng Linghui followed his hand and looked at his arm. It is round and white, and the skin is like clotted fat. I can't say it's fat, it's just a little rounder and smoother than before.

"Look at this waist ...... again"

"Look at this leg ...... again"

In Chang Jiwen's demagogic tone, Cheng Linghui had been unconsciously stripped naked by him. That delicate body should be upright, warped, soft and full, and the muscles are better than snow. That manly masculinity was dispelled by the graceful and warm breath at some point. Today, even if she wears men's clothes, she is also a beautiful woman. It's even more thought-provoking than wearing women's clothes.

In the face of Chang Jiwen, Cheng Linghui's brain is always insufficient. By the time she reacted, Chang Jiwen had already carried her to the bed. Cheng Linghui struggled twice half-truthfully, and sank in Chang Jiwen's siege and plunder.

When I woke up the next morning, I only felt that my waist was sore. I couldn't help but squint and blame my husband next to me. Chang Jiwen half-knelt on the pillow and made an extremely resentful and aggrieved look: "You conscienceless enemy." The bones of the tortured people are about to fall apart, and they are not satisfied? ”

A big man, speaking in such a tone, Cheng Linghui listened to it, trembled all over, and got goosebumps.

Chang Jiwen succeeded in his prank, rolling on the bed with a thin quilt and laughing.

Cheng Linghui was annoyed, her eyes widened, and she stretched out her hand to grab him on the bed. Chang Jiwen didn't hide, and when he saw her coming, he lifted the thin quilt. Revealing a white swaying flesh, he opened his arms and laughed while making a joke: "You are so bad, you still refuse to let go of other people's ......"

Cheng Linghui saw his naked body at a glance, and suddenly his face burned with shame. Hurriedly turned around and said angrily: "You are shameless. "It's like running away in a hurry.

She rode her horse and ran to Dasha Creek in one go, and her face was not so burned. Thinking of Chang Jiwen's unscrupulous entanglement, he couldn't help but scold again: "Shameless." "But my heart is extremely sweet.

Cheng Linghui returned to Chengjiazhuang and immediately set out to gather the young people in the village. There are more than 130 households in Chengjiazhuang, and most of them used to drag their feet in the past. In recent years, water transportation has gradually started in the area of Kaiju Prefecture. It is not easy to make a living by this foothold, so many people change their careers. Open a stone nest nearby, and make a living by selling stone and burning lime.

Three consecutive years of drought have made people's livelihoods difficult. The trading of stone nests and ash kilns is also not easy to do. At the same time, the water level of the Hai River has dropped, and water transportation in the area around Kaiju has been blocked. Therefore, Cheng Linghui only took one morning to gather more than 50 vehicles. There were horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and donkey carts.

Cheng Linghui took these carriages and horses to the place agreed with Chang Jiwen. Flowers like smoke are already waiting there. The water level of the Haihe River dropped, and the ships could not reach Kaizhou Mansion, so they could only change the inland river ships from Tianjin Wei and dock at the wharf of Dingzhou Mansion along the way. Then it was changed to a land route and transported back by horse-drawn carriage. This is a normal situation.

However, the place where Cheng Linghui went was not Dingzhou Wharf. She took the convoy to the north first, making it look like she was going to Dingzhou, and then spared a circle to the south of Kaizhou Mansion to Yinmapo. And the flowers waiting there converge like smoke. Loaded the car overnight, and quietly returned to Shaxi County at night. I didn't go back to the village, but stopped by the Dasha Creek. When the sun was up, he took everyone to swagger and pull a whole load of grain to Kaizhou Mansion.

Chang Jiwen wanted to sing about the empty city plan, and Cheng Linghui had to accompany him to play a trick of 'Cao Cao's military parade'.

Kaizhou is not Shaxi County. In Shaxi County, the Chang family is the head of the tycoon. The Chang family stomped their feet, and the land in Shaxi County had to shake three times. When you get to Kaizhou Mansion, you won't be able to rank it.

Peers are enemies, Chang Jiwen is not good at grabbing business with his brother in Shaxi County, and went to Kaizhou to grab jobs with others. It would be strange if the merchant gentry could look at him well. But Chang Jiwen often walks in officialdom, and now he has opened his mind again. Not as pedantic as it used to be. It is very close to the prefect of Kaizhou. Neither can they do anything to him.

It's different now. It doesn't matter if Chang Jiwen sells grain at a low price, but he blocks the way for others to get rich. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents. Those who waited for the fortune of the people hated him to the core.

Chang's family is benevolent, and Chang Jiwen is new to the mall. He has not yet grown the heart that perceives the sinister. I was asleep at night, and I don't know who set a fire. If He Kun hadn't happened to be at home and snatched him out of the fire, he was afraid that he would be burned alive in his sleep.

This matter was reported to the prefect of Kaizhou. The prefect is now pointing to Chang Jiwen to help him appease the people, and he doesn't dare to slack off. But now in the midst of the disaster, manpower is really tight. I can't find out why for a while.

Cheng Linghui's motorcade is also often followed by unknown people. was finally discovered by someone with a heart. For a time, rumors spread about the opening of the state capital. Someone took the lead in attacking Chang Jiwen's grain line. If it weren't for the protection of the officers and soldiers, the grain store would have been razed to the ground.

This is an empty city plan, and I can't sing it anymore. And the consequences are far more serious than Chang Jiwen expected. Those merchants joined forces and openly asked the government to expel him from Kaizhou on the grounds that Chang Jiwen was immoral and untrustworthy.

The prefect understands that Chang Jiwen is completely abandoning his own interests and devoting himself to the people. But what does he know alone? More than half of the merchants in Kaizhou Prefecture jointly sued that if they did not agree, the current disaster would be unstable and the people's hearts would be unstable. Once he gives birth to a mess, his black veil hangs.

But if you agree, the difficulty of conscience is secondary. This Chang Jiwen is a legend in Beijing. It is said that it has the ability to break the sun in the sun and the yin in the night. He also has three guillotines in his house in Beijing. It is more majestic than Bao Longtu's three guillotines. When he thought about this, he felt a chill in his neck. I don't dare to sleep at night. It seems that as soon as he closes his eyes, a little ghost will come to arrest him and go to the Hades Palace for trial.

Within a few days, the prefect couldn't bear it and fell ill.
