Chapter 36: I'm Stunned (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection!) )
When the river reached the gap here, it suddenly poured into the fields of Qin Yuanwai's family.
If the water is flooded like this, a good harvest is impossible, and even the rice will not survive, and the harvest can be expected.
Under the command of Fan Yu, everyone dispersed in a hurry. People are like this, they may not be so enthusiastic about doing good deeds, and if they do a prank and play a bad game, they must be enthusiastic. Especially when I heard that this is the land of a large family, everyone has a trace of hatred for the rich, so I can't suppress my joy.
Fan Yu is actually not dignified and upright when he does this, but who let the other party make himself bad first. And if you don't do this, it will not only be the Qin Mansion that will be damaged, but the villagers of the entire Caoqiao Town will be damaged. Rather than everyone suffering losses together, it is better to let the Qin Mansion, a person with a strong family background and a bad heart, bear it.
He Laojiu's forecast was quite accurate, and the heavy rain fell for a day, and it became sparse the next morning.
When Fan Yu arrived at the hungry people's houses outside the town, the water level in the river had already dropped, so he instructed everyone to rebuild the tents. It rained heavily that day and night, and there were few intact tents left. Suddenly, from a distance, he heard someone roaring loudly.
Looking at the direction from which the voice came, it was the side of the Qin family's paddy field. It used to be a paddy field, but now it's a big piece of water.
Fan Yu took two officials and walked in that direction.
The two officials looked at Fan Yu and felt very weird, didn't this Fan Xiaoguan know what to be afraid of? Wouldn't it be a big deal to dare to come forward?
Fan Yu didn't have these messy concerns, he just wanted to see how the Qin Mansion would react.
Nearly dozens of zhang away, Fan Yu saw Qin Yuanwai beating his chest and yelling on the edge of the 'paddy field', and the housekeeper and shopkeeper He on the side were also full of frustration.
"Oh my God, what kind of sin did my Qin family create, and they suffered such a catastrophe! This, this is thousands of acres of good paddy fields, and now I can't see the fields when I see the water! Qin Hu stomped his feet hard, and the muddy water splashed the housekeeper and the shopkeeper He.
Shopkeeper He raised his hand to wipe the muddy water on his face, and persuaded: "The owner also asks to calm his anger, and when the water recedes, he may be able to replant some other crops and recover some losses." ”
Qin Yuanwai said angrily: "What else can be replanted? If you are afraid that it will be too late to plant beans, then in addition to making tofu is to feed livestock, where is rice valuable! ”
The housekeeper also advised: "Outside the staff, the matter has come to this, so don't be angry." The backbone of the whole house is you, if you are angry, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. ”
In the distance, as soon as the shopkeeper He turned his head, he saw Fan Yu and the three of them walking over, and his eyes couldn't help but roll twice.
"Owner, that Fan Yu is the envoy of the river, but this heavy rain has washed away the river embankment and flooded the fields of the Qin Mansion, is there something strange about it?" Shopkeeper He whispered to Qin Yuanwai.
Qin Hu raised his eyebrows, and he also saw Fan Yu who was walking over.
"It's probably this kid who is doing bad, and we can't hide what we do from him, he's taking revenge on my Qin family!" Qin Yuanwai was a little angry, and jumped up to find Fan Yu's theory.
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this matter has not been caught, don't lose your proportion." ”
The shopkeeper He said with a smile: "The owner just stepped forward and theorized that the river embankment breach was the errand of the river control envoy who did not do a good job, and no matter what, he had to give the owner an explanation." ”
When Qin Hu heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, "That makes sense!" ”
Just as the three of them were talking, Fan Yu also approached and arched his hand to the three of them.
"It rained heavily all day yesterday, and I thought the embankment had been strengthened and was in good condition. But it turned out that there was a break here, and it was really impossible to prevent it. Fan Yu looked at Qin Yuanwai and said, "Yuanwai, this flooded field belongs to your family." ”
Qin Yuanwai looked at Fan Yu and asked him seriously, and couldn't help but hate and itch his teeth, "Of course it's my family, your family is in the town, and my father has been the steward of my house, how can you ask knowingly." Didn't you come to see my jokes? ”
Fan Yu didn't pick up his stubble, just shook his head.
"Don't dare to look at jokes, I'm really sympathetic." Fan Yu spread his hands and said: "Outside, you see, our Caoqiao Town is a big field, but only the field of the outsider's family has broken the embankment here, which is very strange." These many people work together to dredge the river and strengthen the river embankment, it stands to reason that this should not be the case, is it not that the feng shui here is not good? ”
Qin Yuanwai was almost angry, and he hadn't settled accounts with him yet, but he was talking about wind and cool here, saying that feng shui was not good. If you talk a little too much, is there black smoke coming out of your own ancestral grave!
After taking a few quick breaths, Qin Yuanwai suppressed his anger, "Fan Yu, you don't want to be weird here." As you said, the embankment here is so strong, how could it break? I guess there are only two possibilities, one is that you didn't have the intention to strengthen it at all, and the other is that you deliberately dug up this place and released water to irrigate the fields of my Qin Mansion! Is it because my Qin Mansion rejected your proposal, you have to take revenge on my Qin family! ”
The two servants behind Fan Yu all shrank their necks, and when it was over, they were seen by others. Qin Yuanwai is the richest man in Caoqiao Town, he is not only a squire but also an official of a foreigner, which is not comparable to ordinary people. If there is a fuss, I'm afraid it's not easy to be confused at will.
The two of them stepped back faintly, not in the same column as Fan Yu.
Fan Yu was not embarrassed to be exposed at all, but laughed and said: "Qin Yuanwai has suffered some losses, so he has to bite indiscriminately, I can't afford to bear it." It's better not to make such jokes, if you really go to the magistrate to file a lawsuit, I'm afraid that you will also be guilty of false accusation. ”
Seeing that Fan Yu didn't eat this, the shopkeeper jumped out and said: "Fan Xiaoguan, you are now the imperial court's envoy to control the river, so you have the responsibility of governing the river and protecting the territory." But now that the river channel that you have led people to reinforce is breaching, is it not a dereliction of duty? Since you are derelict in your duties, you have to be responsible for compensating for the flooded fields in Qinfu. ”
Fan Yu sneered in his heart, this shopkeeper's words are also a bit tricky, but he is not stupid, how can he take this kind of responsibility.
"Shopkeeper He, what you said is bad." Fan Yu pointed to the sky and argued: "This rain came from the sky, and I didn't let it fall?" Flooded the fields of the Qin Mansion, why should I be responsible? It's good that I led people to strengthen the river, but the root of this matter is still in the sky. ”
Qin Yuan looked at the heavens, I am afraid that this loss will not come back, but after flooding some fields, will he still be able to go to heaven. But why is this chest so blocked that I can't breathe?
As soon as Fan Yu finished speaking, he saw Qin Yuanwai's face turn purple, and he fell down with a scream, and he fainted.
