Chapter Ninety-Three: Ambush

The officials who were eating in the dining room had not finished eating, so Yan Jinxuan took this opportunity to close his eyes and take a nap.

However, he didn't fall asleep, his mind was spinning rapidly, analyzing the information that Toyoko Chao had brought.

Why is Zhang Yi willing to listen to Yan Shichong's words? On weekdays, Zhang Yi has never had anything to do with Yan Shichong's henchmen, even if Yan Shichong intends to collude with him, as long as he refuses, with his current status, status and ability, there is no need to be afraid that Yan Shichong will plot, right? Besides, he is also a person who keeps to himself and distinguishes between good and evil, why is he suddenly confused about this matter?

If he is from another department, it will be forgotten, but he happens to be in the same department as himself, and the spearhead of this incident is pointed at him, so he can't help but take it seriously.

Then, there are only two possibilities, one is that Zhang Yi wants to use this incident to hit Yan Jinxuan, so that Yan Jinxuan can't stay in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works. The second is that Zhang Yi has a handle in Yan Shichong's hands, so he has to help Yan Shichong do things.

Thinking like this, Yan Jinxuan immediately went to the next room to wake up Feng Zichao, who was sleeping soundly.

Fengzi Chao thought that the task was coming, and sat up busily.

Yan Jinxuan asked: "Can you tell me the content of Yan Shichong's conversation with Zhang Yi last night." ”

Feng Zichao retold their conversation to Yan Jinxuan one by one.

Yan Jinxuan snorted coldly after hearing this: "Sure enough, he was used by Yan Shichong." ”

"What are you going to do with this?" Toyoko asked hurriedly.

"We have been keeping an eye on these 300 people sent by the imperial court for the past few days, and when we find signs of their crimes, we will catch them all, and then hand them over to the government for disposal." Yan Jinxuan said in a calm tone.

In that case, Yan Shichong and Zhang Yi's plan this time will be exposed, and Yan Jinxuan will have a reason to deal with them at that time.

"Lord Zhang is not a bad person, he is just to return Yan Shichong's favor this time, you see ......" Feng Zichao said cautiously. He knew that as long as Yan Jinxuan opened his mouth, Zhang Yi would be punished or demoted at most, and he would not lose his black yarn hat.

"No, it is harmful for a person who does not distinguish between public and private and neglects his duties to remain in this position." Yan Jinxuan said in a calm tone, got up and walked out.

Feng Zichao knew that Zhang Yi would definitely not be able to keep the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works this time.

But thinking about it, he felt that Yan Jinxuan was right to do this.

If Yan Jinxuan doesn't take the opportunity to eradicate Zhang Yi. With Yan Shichong's style of doing things, he will definitely join hands with Zhang Yi to control the Ministry of Industry step by step, and the consequences at that time will not only be as simple as Yan Jinxuan's personal interests.

When the officials had finished their lunch, Yan Jinxuan had already assigned three groups of people who had opened the mountain and cut the mountain -- 250 people in each group, of which except for some of them were officials and relatives of officials, and the rest were organized from nearby residents. And most of the residents are happy to participate.

At this time, there was a sudden lightning and thunder outside, and the heavy rain immediately poured down.

"Looks like we're going to have to work in the rain, and the faster we move, the better." Yan Jinxuan said.

So everyone put on their coats and brought tools to the work site, and worked in full swing under the heavy rain.

Yan Jinxuan looked up at the sky and saw that the rain couldn't stop until it got dark. He sent them back to the yamen to get boiling water and clothes, so that those who were soaked could change their clothes in time to prevent them from catching a cold.

In the evening, 300 people sent by the imperial court arrived as scheduled, and Yan Jinxuan immediately asked them to join the work team, and sent Li Zhitong and Feng Zichao and others to keep an eye on their movements.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that one of the three tributaries was finally dug up, solving part of the flood diversion problem.

Yan Jinxuan immediately asked this group of people to join the excavation team of the other two tributaries, and arranged for fifty people to stand on the high slope and hold the lantern.

It was not until the third watch that the channels of the other two tributaries were dug up.

Yan Jinxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, Yan Jinxuan sent people to inspect the three newly dug tributaries. Don't give anyone a chance to mess around.

And he only took a nap before getting up to work on the dam.

The Qinglong River is a very fast-flowing area, and a dam is needed to solve the flood control problem perfectly, so this task has become especially urgent after such a severe flood.

As the most famous expert on water control in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Jinxuan calmly and actively shouldered this heavy responsibility.

Yan Jinxuan calculated, it would take at least a month for these two dams to be completed, and as long as they paid close attention, the thirty of the three hundred people would definitely have a chance to expose their purpose.

And in order to highlight the seriousness of the incident, they would definitely commit the crime during the flood, so Yan Jinxuan arranged two groups of observers: one group ambushed near the two dams to carefully observe the movements on the dams, and one group mixed in with the three hundred people to closely monitor their words and deeds.

Sure enough. Five days later, in the evening, Feng Zichao hurriedly came to see Yan Jinxuan.

"They just met and are going to block the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 floodways tonight."

These channels were built during the floods, and if they were blocked, all the flood water would be concentrated on the newly built dam with sand and gravel, which would inevitably collapse the dam. And once the dam bursts. Residents in coastal areas will experience flooding again.

Yan Jinxuan scolded secretly in his heart, and said calmly: "Okay, then we will act tonight." ”

In order to avoid startling the snake, Yan Jinxuan only arranged for five of his subordinates and twenty-five locals who knew martial arts to set off together.

That night, the night was dark and the wind was high, and a few drops of bean-sized rain fell from time to time in the sky.

Yan Jinxuan was dressed in black. He wore a hat on his head that could cover half of his face, and walked in front with a sword.

On the hillside on the left bank of the dam, Yan Jinxuan sounded the code.

Immediately, the group of people he had arranged to ambush around the dam gathered around him.

There are fifteen people in this group, plus the thirty people he brought this time, it should not be a problem to deal with the thirty people sent by Yan Shichong.

"My lord, I didn't notice any problems during the day, and I didn't notice any movement after dark." One of them respectfully reported to Yan Jinxuan.

"Okay." Yan Jinxuan replied.

"My lord, you've practiced looking ahead, do you want to check it again?" The man asked again, he knew that Yan Jinxuan could see things in the dark night. At this time, they could see nothing but the flowing river. The man was worried that the people sent by Yan Shichong were operating in the dark.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Yan Jinxuan said.

He secretly made light luck, and flew down the slope.

When he reached the shore of the dam, he flew away from the river like a dragonfly, and soon inspected the entire dam. Then he carefully inspected the spillway No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, and found no ambush, and flew back to the hillside.

"It's fine for the time being." Yan Jinxuan said.

As soon as they finished speaking, they noticed a line of fire on the left side of the dam.

"Damn, it's finally here!" Everyone was ready to move.

Yan Jinxuan stopped them.

"Don't worry, just follow my instructions." Yan Jinxuan said calmly.

He doesn't want to startle the snake, he wants to 'catch it right'. (To be continued.) )
