Chapter 60 Corruption Case in the Yellow River in the Tokyo Section (2)
On the embankment there was a thin young man, ragged and unkempt, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was laying firewood and straw on the bones, and he was spreading them evenly on the net, and then compacting them with earth, and he was working diligently, sweating profusely.
Suddenly he felt that he had been whipped his back, and there was a hot pain, and he was so painful that he was about to cry out, when he felt his body fly into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Then I heard a voice behind me shouting viciously: "You kid, you really don't have a long memory, why are these firewood and grass spread so thickly, isn't it a waste, don't waste the money of the court, how many times have I told you, if you don't have a long memory, it's a trick."
I saw a meaty, stocky overseer screaming behind the young man, who lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a while.
Seeing this, the overseer remembered and shouted: "Don't pretend to be dead, boy, hurry up and work, or you will be deducted from your salary and you will not be given food." The boy struggled to get up, but he couldn't get up, and the overseer got angry, and then he picked up the whip and was about to hit it, and most of the soldiers around him were angry, probably afraid of the overseer's obscenity, and did not dare to come to his aid.
One of the tall and mighty young men couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward to stop it, and said urgently: "Jiao Ping, Hugh is arrogant, you have to be reasonable in everything, why hit Li Qing, you said that Li Qing has thick firewood and grass, I have been here for three years, and this year is the fourth year, and the grass layer is much thicker than this in the first three years, and there is more firewood." However, this year, the grass layer is spread so thinly, there are not a few shoots of firewood, the soil can't be hung, and it can't be rolled up, isn't this an obvious cut corners, and Li Qing's fault, you are so reckless and oppressive of us, beware of me going up to sue you. Others are afraid of you, but I, Li Song, are not afraid of you. The supervisor named Jiao Ping was obviously a little afraid of Li Song, so he hurriedly retreated, and said as he walked: "Li Song, you don't meddle in your affairs, the amount of material is determined by the imperial court, not what you ordinary people are talking about, just do your job well, don't make noise, otherwise when you suffer, don't believe it and see." At this time, a majestic voice came: "So many people gather and don't work, so what's the matter, don't delay the construction period." Everyone looked back, it was Liu Zhili, the outer capital, because Liu Zhili walked diligently on the embankment, and was more kind to the soldiers, and cared more about them, so the soldiers knew him, so all the soldiers around him flocked forward to salute him, Jiao Ping took advantage of the chaos to slip away, was stopped by Liu Zhili, and asked: "Who are you, don't go, I have something to ask you, whose account are you obeying." Jiao Ping replied hesitantly, and Liu Zhili didn't pay much attention to him, so he let him obey the orders on the side.
Liu Zhili saw the sluggish Li Qing, he looked forward, and finally saw the long blood-red whip marks behind him, and immediately became angry, and hurriedly asked about it, and soon Liu Zhili knew the ins and outs of the matter, he hurriedly came to the weaving and paving of the silica body, he ordered people to open the finished silica body, and sure enough, he found that the cat was greasy, and found that the material was less than forty percent less than in previous years.
Liu Zhili was suddenly furious, and hurriedly called Jiao Ping, let him fall to the ground, and whipped and interrogated, and after a while, Jiao Ping couldn't bear it, so he recruited him, saying that the entire river embankment was in such a proportion of materials, and it was agreed upon by various river patrol envoys, and he was just a supervisor and could only carry it out.
Liu Zhili hurriedly went to see the production of the silica on the site, he checked the situation of the silicon, but found that many forages, reeds and branches were rotten, and they were broken when they were torn and broken; Looking at the weaving of the silicon body, the silicon material is actually a thin layer, and it is good to be able to barely roll it up, but it will definitely float away when it goes down to the water, and it will not work at all.
At this time, Liu Zhili said angrily: "What a group of silverfish, they are shameless, disregard for human life, and they are disgusted." Liu Zhili sensed the seriousness of the matter, he asked the guards to bring paper and pencils, a three-meter-square piece of paper, and wrote down the matter of the berm's river patrol envoy cutting corners in the body, and then asked the soldiers to sign and draw the approval, and if they are illiterate, they can let people sign on their behalf, and then press their own handprints, and it took two days to complete the statistics, forming a book of 10,000 people exposing the evidence.
Liu Zhili knew that the officials of the entire berm were collapsing and corrupt, and he felt that he was a little lonely, so he had to rely on these soldiers for now, so he divided 20,000 people into groups of 200 and divided them into 100 groups, and then they spontaneously recommended the team leader, and then appointed by him.
Liu Zhili called the 100 people together for an emergency meeting, telling them that the silicon body was still made according to the proportion of materials used in previous years.
Liu Zhili decided not to startle the snake first, first stabilize these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and wait for the court to play the court after collecting their crimes, so that the court can punish them.
Liu Zhili felt that he was in a bad situation now, and he had to deal with them carefully, after all, these incriminating evidence were enough to get the heads of these corrupt officials, and if he accidentally leaked the news, it would definitely lead to their crazy counterattack, and his life might be in danger at any time.
