On the seventh day of July, the weather was fine.

At noon, Wang Lanling, who was sleeping and resting in the office, was woken up by a knock on the door.

"My lord! The boat capsized over there at the Department of Water Affairs!! ”

Wang Lanling sat up, slowly came back to his senses, and said, "Come in and talk." ”

Bu Gong walked in and saw Wang Lanling, who was sitting on the cowhide sofa, walking towards the desk, so he waited respectfully.

"My lord, today the people from the Water Affairs Department found some ships to transport coal to the caravan in Shanzhou, and just a few truckloads of coal, the ship sank!"

"That big boat fell into the water, and now the Blackwater River is really black!"

Bugong's voice was a little excited.

When Wang Lanling heard this, he asked, "What's going on?" Why does it sink? ”

Bugong explained: "I don't know the specifics, and I don't know where Liu Fufeng found someone to load coal, it was loaded too much, and the boat couldn't run and still loaded, and as a result, the boat sank as soon as it was crooked!" ”

Wang Lanling said suspiciously: "It was our people who did it?" ”

Bu Gong quickly shook his head, "How dare we do this kind of thing, my lord, you said that you don't make it difficult for Liu Fufeng, although we don't like him, but we won't dirty your reputation!" ”

This kind of thing is a big crime, Bugong and others are human spirits, and they know very well what face can be beaten and what cannot be touched.

Wang Lanling nodded, "It's okay if it has nothing to do with us, but the people from Shanzhou are all experienced businessmen, and it's not the first time I've come to Yunzhou to trade, so it's hard to load a ship?" ”

Bu Gong didn't know anything specific, so he said tentatively at this time: "Then I'll inquire again?" ”

Wang Lanling waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

After Bugong left, Wang Lanling also realized that he needed some intelligence channels.

At least grasp the trends in the county town at the first time, so as not to be deceived in the dark.

Tao Kun's side is a line, and he can know some things from some insiders.

The Zhao family's side is a line, and they can know some official news, and if there are any big movements in Yunshui County, they can basically know immediately.

On the side of the post station and the vendors, some tasks also need to be arranged, and various information is necessary.

It didn't take long for Tian Yuanfang to walk in.

"My lord, something happened to the Department of Water Affairs."

Wang Lanling said: "I know this, do you know why the boat capsized on the side of the Water Affairs Division?" ”

Tian Yuanfang had already learned about the matter from his subordinates, and explained: "There were many people who went to the river, and I heard from the people who came back that those people in Shanzhou went to drink, and this time Liu Fufeng couldn't find anyone to load coal, so he found some people from Liu's house to work, these people didn't know how to load heavy objects, the method was wrong, and the boat sank in a flash." ”

"For such a big thing, those people don't leave a single one to work?" Wang Lanling asked in disbelief, but then reacted, it was himself who was abnormal, after all, it was impossible to treat everything as a big deal.

Tian Yuanfang said: "A few people were also left to watch, but those few mountain people sat on the fishing boat in the distance and drank on the grounds that they couldn't understand Yunzhou dialect, and they refused to work hard at all. ”

Wang Lanling said angrily: "What is spoken in Heishui County is Shanzhou dialect, and the bullshit can't be understood!" I think those people understand people's words, and they don't want to do personnel anymore! ”

Seeing that Wang Lanling was so angry, Tian Yuanfang quickly said: "My lord, now that the county commander is in the past, they must have passed, and they will definitely be responsible for something when the time comes." ”

Wang Lanling thought about this matter, and quickly said: "Let's not get involved in this matter, tell the people below, stay away." ”

Tian Yuanfang: "Yes!" ”

After agreeing, Tian Yuanfang said again: "This time I heard that Liu Fufeng was looking for a nearby boat family at the beginning and wanted to use Zhu Wenyang's boat, but Zhu Wenyang refused, and after the people below saw it, they didn't lend the boat to Liu Fufeng, only Yan Heyu and those businessmen borrowed the boat. ”

"The excuse Zhu Wenyang used at that time was that the boat loaded with fish could not be loaded with coal, and after Liu Fufeng capsized the boat this time, he was afraid that he would hate Zhu Wenyang even more."

Zhu Wenyang is a local fisherman and a fish official originally left by Wang Lanling to the Water Affairs Department.

After Liu Fufeng took office as the water affairs department this time, although he did not drive away the people left behind by Wang Lanling, he did not reuse them, and arranged for the people of the Liu family to do things.

Among the people left by Wang Lanling, there are those who give Liu Fufeng face, and there are those who don't give face, and there are a few who don't give face, and the rest of the people who give face are not easy to talk to, and generally speaking, they still don't give face.

After thinking about it, Wang Lanling still decided to take a look, at least to give Zhu Wenyang and the others a comfort.

Now that something has happened to the Water Affairs Department and the affairs of the official family have been damaged, these people are even more nervous than Wang Lanling, for fear of being implicated.

Although this matter was not done by Zhu Wenyang and others, Wang Lanling felt that he should also go over to take a look, so that these people would know that there was still someone above them, so that they would not lose their proportions, or break their backbones, and they would have no courage in the future.

After deciding, Wang Lanling called Hu Guiqiao and Yin Wuwu and went to the north of the city together.

***

Chengbei Wharf

Xiong Ding, Guo Juli, Dongfang Wei, Liu Fufeng, Chen Youcai, Chen Mingguang, Qin Ruyi, An Dezhou and others all stood by the river and watched with unkind faces.

This is something wrong, and something big is happening in the county, and the first to bear the brunt is naturally the governor......

Wrong!

Wrong!

Wrong!

Guo Juli is wrong to do anything, it is wrong not to do it, it is wrong to do it or not, he was shouted wrong when he just wanted to do it, and it was his fault if he didn't do it.

He has no room to open his mouth to speak now, and he is carrying the blame all day long.

Guo Juli didn't want to speak, he was tired.

Xiong Ding said directly: "County order, there is not much coal that has fallen, just more than eighty tons, and it can be used when it is fished from the river, even if it is in the account." ”

Money is a trivial matter, that is, more than a hundred yuan, but this matter cannot be Xiong Ding's responsibility, if Heishui County does not act well.

Dongfang Wei's face was not good, and he reprimanded Liu Fufeng with a cold face: "You can't do this thing well, don't you use your brains to do things?" ”

Liu Fufeng is not Dongfang Wei's person, although Dongfang Wei is trying to pull this person into his subordinate, but Liu Fufeng is correctly the person sent from the county town.

Liu Fufeng said that he had planned to find those people who had experience in handling and loading ships and tying up vehicles, but those people had already returned to their respective homes after conscription, and it was no longer realistic to want to gather those people again.

Loading on the ship is not just a matter of throwing things on the ship nearby, how to place it to maximize the use of warehouse space, how to make the hull full of goods and still be stable, are all experiences.

The people found by the Liu family do not have this kind of experience, and what is even worse is that this time they are all very heavy coal mines, and it is normal for problems to occur.

But it shouldn't be his fault!

Liu Fufeng looked at the people on the side, this time the people of the caravan will not do this kind of thing if they look at it!

The matter of transporting coal is the business of these officials and businessmen, and the Water Affairs Department is mainly responsible for assisting and helping them get out of here, and not everything is done by the Water Affairs Department, these people are watching from the side!

When Xiong Qing saw Liu Fufeng looking at their brothers, he shouted loudly, "What are you looking for?!" If you lose our stuff, lose money!! ”

The Shanzhou people who were watching the locals work on the side just now also followed the fierce words: "We have already let you be small, you don't listen, you don't know what to do!" Think we're bullied?! ”

Liu Fufeng was in a hurry, and he couldn't advance or retreat at this time.

Dongfang Wei and Guo Juli were both like ancient wells and didn't say anything.

The rest of the people also watched, not daring to speak.

Liu Fufeng looked around anxiously, and quickly shouted: "Lord Wang! ”

Wang Lanling came over with people, and everyone who watched the excitement in the north of the city knew Wang Lanling, and the people on both sides were also Wang Lanling's subordinates, so they quickly made way for him.

Wang Lanling walked to the river and glanced at the boat, which was now like a branch standing in the water, and it would not be long before it sank completely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've heard about this matter, money is a trivial matter, but there are casualties?"

Liu Fufeng quickly said: "Yes! There were two more people in the cabin who didn't have time to come out! ”

After Wang Lanling heard this, he looked at the crowd behind him, "We are all from Heishui County, and the villagers are in trouble, why do you stand by coldly?" Isn't it ashamed for you to stand here and watch your fellow citizens die in the icy waters of the river? ”

"Since no one wants to go down, then I'll go down to save people!"

Wang Lanling said, and walked directly towards the river, untying his belt as he walked.

"How can an adult be in danger? Let me! Zhu Wenyang stepped into three steps, his body rushed to the shore like a cannonball, and jumped into the water with a sudden jump.

After Zhu Wenyang, another man who was watching the excitement also quickly jumped into the water, "I'll come too!" ”

The rest of the people couldn't get over their faces, and they jumped into the sewage like dumplings.

Guo Juli and Dongfang Wei's expressions were even worse.
