Shushi ran out, and Lin He was whispering, "Good Song Ci, if you really come here, do you think this official will let you leave alive?" Hehe, this is called heaven has a way for you not to go, and hell has no door for you to break into. ”

In the inn, Song Ci has never been so angry, this prefect, everything he has done is very well concealed, and it is difficult to find a handle.

Xiaoxiang said: "My lord, after my visit and inquiry with Miss Xiaoyue, a total of ten family members of the deceased were found in the county town, and the compensation they received for each family was only fifteen taels of silver.

Song Ci slapped the table and said angrily: "The imperial court stipulates that it is fifty taels, but unexpectedly, it was embezzled by the prefect Shushi for thirty, and the officials who ran away below, they embezzled another five taels, and in the hands of their families, there were only a dozen taels left."

Everyone was terrified when they heard it, this is the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty now, no official is not greedy, even if it is a lizheng, he has to be in the country.

Sitting at the table, Song Ci ate a little bit without appetite, and became more and more depressed in his heart, if he had come here earlier, I am afraid that this would not be the case now.

"By the way, Wencheng, do you know if there are still people above to accept the dam after the dam is repaired? Now that the matter has come out, then I will put a long line to catch a big fish. ”

Wen Chengdao: "My lord, according to the regulations, after any large-scale project is built, there will be the Ministry of Engineering to accept, if the quality is not good, it will not be passed, if the quality is feasible, it will be accepted, of course, there are bribes, etc., even if the quality is poor, as long as the silver is collected, it will generally pass."

Song Ci said: "I see, Wencheng Wenwu, and Lu Sheng, tomorrow you will take turns to wait around the dam, if someone from the Ministry of Engineering comes down, you immediately come to the downstream of the dam to call Song."

"It's my lord!"

"And Ren You, early tomorrow morning, you will go to Pomegranate County again to transfer the officers and soldiers, and after you come, you will immediately go to the downstream of the dam to salvage the body, but you can't reveal your identity, do you know?"

"It's my lord!"

In the prefect's yamen, it was late at night, Lin He and others were already sitting in the inner room, looking at the silver of the white flowers, very happy, more than two months, more than ten people a day, then it was counted as hundreds of people, thirty taels per person, there were more than 1,000 taels of silver.

Shu Shi said: "Congratulations to my lord, I have been doing it for two months, plus the cutting corners on the materials, my lord has earned a total of no more than 10,000 taels of silver!"

Lin He said with a smile: "The official can have today, and your help in the history of the book is completely indispensable, take it, this hundred taels of silver is the hard work fee given to you by the official."

Shushi was overjoyed, and hurriedly put it in his pocket, "Thank you, thank you, my lord, if my lord is promoted in the future, this prefect..."

"If there really is such a day, then it will be yours, right?"

"Ahh Wise adults, wise adults!"

"Okay, it's just the two of us in the house, let's not mention this for the time being, Shushi, early tomorrow morning, someone from the Ministry of Engineering will come to inspect the dam, and then you will give them a thousand taels for the official, remember, this matter must be done."

"Yes!"

"By the way, how are the people in the inn? Do you want to continue to send people to watch?" Shushi said: "If you go back to the adults, the little ones have already sent someone to peek, and if they take action tomorrow, they will continue to monitor them."

"Well, it's good that you know, you know, if something goes wrong, how can I survive? Even ten heads are not enough to cut off. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Song Ci and others had already gotten up from bed and hurriedly ate food, Wencheng Wenwu and others went out first and headed for the dam.

Wen Wu said: "Don't startle the snake first, I'll wait until I get to the destination."

They soon came to the edge of the dam, which was deserted, and the three of them hid in a bush, and immediately took them down.

Lu Sheng asked: "Dare to follow us, do you believe it, I can execute you today?"

Someone said: "What if you follow it?" Do you know who you have offended? Hehe, don't say that if you are followed, what if you are killed?"

Wen Wu shouted, "Who did you offend?" Didn't you offend your prefect? Who else but him?"

One of the officials exclaimed, "You are not even afraid of our prefect, what is your identity?" What are you doing in our Liucheng?"

"You don't have to worry about anything, anyway, I tell you, your prefect has committed a capital crime, and he is a heinous crime, and he will be beheaded soon, do you know? Acquaintances are here to stay honest, so that they can give you a light hair in the end. ”

At the same time, Ren You also left from the inn, and he had to travel dozens of miles, and then went to Pomegranate County and transferred all the officers and soldiers to Liucheng.

Song Ci, Qin Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiang also left the house, and were walking on the street at the moment, whether these people who fell into the water were dead or not, they did not see the corpses, this is the prefect's inaction.

Walking on the street, I don't know when, I have come to a far downstream position of the dam, where there is a big bend, and the corpses washed down from the upstream are very likely to come to the riverbed.

As they walked along the shore, they kept looking at the water, and soon found several corpses, some of which had washed farther away.

After sleeping in the water for a long time, the body has decomposed, and it is impossible to identify the deceased. Xiaoxiang said: "My lord, what should we do at this moment?" Do you want to notify the family to claim the body?"

Song Ci sighed: "It's already like this, I'm afraid that the family members won't be able to identify it when they come, according to Song, these bodies can only be salvaged and then buried collectively."

They were silent, and it was better for their families not to see it, and in this case, it is estimated that most of them will faint and cannot accept this reality.

In just half an hour, Song Ci has found dozens of corpses, if he continues to leave it alone, the river will be polluted, and it will be difficult to clean up, I hope Ren You can swim faster.

Walking vertically along the riverbed, the reeds on both sides are deep, and there are already traces of burning coins, presumably someone has come to worship.

This kind of thing, it is better to worship the dead, it is better to worship this prefect, hundreds of lives, which is enough to shock the imperial court and the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Lin'an, the palace elects the hall of virtue.

Song Ningzong Zhao Kuozheng was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the folds that kept coming forward, he closed his eyes slightly, and his affection was very gloomy.

Among these twists and turns, about ninety percent of them are to prevent Song Ci from continuing to serve as a criminal officer, there are not many reasons, if it continues, I am afraid that there will be no one in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.

A eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you've been reading the excerpts for several hours, why don't we take a break?"

Song Ningzong said: "Wang Fu, I ask you, do you think it was a mistake for Song Ci to serve as a criminal officer?"

Wang Fu didn't dare to speak, and knelt on the ground at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, the little one is just a minion, how dare you comment on Lord Song casually, but the slave thinks that there must be a reason why the emperor let Lord Song serve as a criminal officer, isn't it?"

Song Ningzong said: "Don't get in the way, I will say it if you want to, no matter whether it is good or bad, I will never blame you."

Wang Fudao: "It's the emperor, the slave thinks that Lord Song can make the Great Song Dynasty scrape the bones to detoxify, and can make the Great Song officialdom, especially in this court, more incorruptible, and the slave dares to think that the emperor named the Song Lord to be a criminal officer, which is completely the right decision, and the emperor is wise."

Song Ningzong said: "The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, why did you persuade me to dismiss Song Ci and give him a prefect or prefect?"

Wang Fudao: "This.... Your Majesty, the minions don't dare to comment!"

Song Ningzong got up and said, "You are the person next to me, could it be that you are still afraid of these officials?" At the same time, if you don't dare to tell the truth, let me say it for you, the reason why these officials proposed to dismiss Song Ci is actually because they are afraid that he will find out about themselves, isn't it?"

"The emperor is wise."
