The county hall was damp and humid, and Yuan County ordered people to open the windows on all sides, and the fresh air blew in, scraping away the smell of rot in the hall.

After Ai Thorn Shi found out that the Jiangya Mountain and sea charts were dotted with mildew, and the chairs had a slippery feeling, he endured the discomfort in his heart, and motioned for everyone to sit down without courtesy. On the left row of chairs sat the officials of the transfer envoy yamen, headed by Chang Yuchao, Wan Huaijie, Duan Shuang, Zou Sujie, Qiu Guangming and Yu Gongzi Xiong Yi'an sat in a row, and on the right were the county officials headed by Yuan Decheng.

At the beginning of the Yuanhua River burst, the transfer envoy Yamen sent a deputy envoy Duan Shuang to the government to report the news, of course, at the same time, he also sent a batch of calligraphy and painting antiques, and the history of the east and west Ai Thorn was accepted, but he only replied to try his best to rescue the disaster and wait for the court to deal with it.

Whether the matter of the Yuanhua River breaking the embankment can be successfully passed still needs to be mediated by Lord Assassin Shi, so Sanyu Chao's posture is very low, and he flatters Ai Assassin Shi with his subordinates, and tests the attitude of Assassin Shi towards the duel embankment. Ai Tingshi was still smiling, full of spring breeze, Chang Yuchao secretly hated in his heart, he couldn't get a word of truth for thousands of taels of calligraphy and painting every year, and he deserved to be called an old fox, but since he swallowed the bait, how could you get out easily.

"Decheng's injury doesn't matter." Ai Tingshi turned his head and asked with concern: "This disaster relief has made great contributions, and this government will definitely ask the court for your credit." ”

After losing a lot of blood, Yuan Decheng felt drowsy, and said strongly: "Thank you for your care, these are all things that should be done in a humble position, and I dare not take credit." ”

"I don't know if the bandit who stabbed Decheng might get it?" Ai Wei asked, "Do you know where the bandits come from?" ”

Xiang Xiancheng replied first: "It has not been captured yet, and Jizhou Tong is making every effort to arrest it." That bandit was so powerful that he could fly off the wall, and he ...... at the time."

It was a rare opportunity to speak in front of Lord Assassin Shi, and the county Cheng Xiang Quan Hong tried his best to make a good impression in front of Shangguan, describing the situation at that time endlessly, and mentioning intentionally or unintentionally that he pulled behind Yuan Xianling, which made Yuan Xianling get rid of the scourge of killing. The main bookkeeper Liang Guicai secretly disdainful, he was next to him at the time, and the so-called pull Yuan County Order, but in fact, this Xiang County Cheng panicked and dodged, stepped on the back of Yuan County's order, and objectively pulled down Yuan County's order.

Ai Jianshi seemed to listen carefully, and he spoke more and more energetically to the county Cheng, in fact, Ai Wei had already attributed this county adult to a boastful person in his heart. When Xiang Xiancheng told him about a pillar of incense, Ai Wei interrupted him and said, "Where is Jizhou Tong now?" ”

Yuan Decheng responded: "Jizhou Tong found that someone was instigating among the victims and attempting to rebel, and the instigator was found outside the south gate, and was discovered by the lurking Long Wei, and the head catcher of this county was also cut when he caught the bandits, and Lord Ji and his men were chasing these bandits everywhere. ”

The bursting of the embankment of the Yuanhua River has little to do with the history of the assassination, but if the victims rebel, the history of the assassination will be inescapable, Ai Wei changed color, sat up straight and asked: "Is there any countermeasure in the Yuan County Order?" ”

It is called a science, and it is called Decheng is a care between friends or elders, and it seems close, at this moment it is called Yuan County's order is a public matter, and Linhua County has gathered 150,000 or 60,000 victims.

"My lord, there are only seventy-six officials in Linhua County, barely maintaining order, and they are really powerless to respond." Yuan Decheng smiled bitterly.

"The government has brought 200 government soldiers and told them to immediately strengthen their vigilance and prevent incidents. The Dragon Guard Office has its own arrangements for the Jizhou Union, and if the Jizhou Department has any requirements, the county government will try its best to cooperate. Ai Weili said that he would immediately convene the captain who led the team, and asked him to divide the two hundred government soldiers into four teams and help maintain order at the four gates.

Yuan Decheng said gratefully: "My lord is benevolent, this move is precautionary, those bandits will not dare to act rashly." ”

Ai Wei's face was heavy and said, "Don't be careless." There are more than 150,000 victims in Linhua County, and it is a hidden danger that so many people are gathered in one place. ”

Yuan Decheng was a little anxious, and said: "My lord, these victims are all the people of Da Zheng, how can they divide each other, the thousand stone grain transported by the adults in Linhua County is enough to support the arrival of the disaster relief grain from the court." The victims dragged their families with them, starved for days, and were unable to return to their hometowns, and the lower officials thought that they could not be driven back to their hometowns at will, otherwise they would be easily used by bandits. ”

Ai Wei looked at the anxious Yuan County Order, sighed slightly in his heart, everyone has a problem, this Yuan County Order has the courage to do things, the people are in mind, but it is too good to be famous, it is also easy to be used, and explained with a smile: "Lord Yuan, don't worry, the reason why the disaster victims gathered in Linhua County is because Decheng you have a good way to provide disaster relief, and the other is that Linhua County has more grain reserves, which can support the lives of the victims. ”

"However, Decheng, you are the county magistrate of Linhua County, and it is your duty to help the victims in Linhua County." Ai Wei waved his hand to stop Yuan Decheng, who was trying to intervene, and continued: "The county orders of the surrounding counties cannot help the affected people, and the government will be severely punished afterwards. Today's events are enough to show that there are ill-intentioned people among the disaster victims, who want to do great rebellion, such signs must not be abrupt, only to deal with them immediately, otherwise who will take responsibility for the disaster, is it you, Lord Yuan or this house? ”

Yuan Decheng opened his mouth and did not make a sound, and finally sighed silently, leaned weakly on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes in pain.

Ai Tingshi took a sip of tea unhurriedly, moistened his throat and said, "Of course, this government will not let the victims return to their hometowns arbitrarily. The government will send letters to other counties, asking them to send officials to pick up and return the victims of the disaster in their own county, and on the way back, each victim will be given enough food for one pound a day, and the local county government will be ordered to provide proper assistance to the victims after they return to their hometowns. The relief food from the court is coming soon, so there is no fear of the victims making trouble or not leaving. ”

"My lord's foresight, I admire it." There was a chaotic sound of sycophants in the lobby, Yuan Decheng thought about it and felt that Ai Tingshi's method was really good, which not only reduced the burden of the county government but also reduced the hidden dangers.

Chang Yuchao saw that Ai Jianshi was worried that the turmoil of the victims was far greater than the Yuanhua River bursting embankment, and a thought faintly popped up in his heart, if the disaster victims were really in chaos, the court might not care about investigating and dealing with the Yuanhua River bursting the embankment, but first quelled the chaos, and then the transfer envoy Yamen had already covered everything properly, and Lord Qincha had nowhere to check.

This thought burned like an evil flame in Chang Yuchao's heart, and he waited until he returned to his home to transfer the yamen, and the flame burned more and more, and it had the potential to soar to the sky. Chang Yuchao warned himself that this kind of thought could only be secretly focused, and he must not tell others, otherwise he would be the first to be burned to ashes.

As soon as the butt fell off the chair, the official came in to report that the pawn Li Yubo came. Chang Yubo glanced at Wan Huaixing, this Wan deputy envoy was really useless, he was frightened by the victims at the south gate and fled back, and let him bring two thousand taels of silver to accommodate Li Yubo, which was naturally put on hold, but fortunately Li Yubo came back by himself.

Wan Huaixing got up and said, "Lord Chang, the lower officials will go to see him first and talk." ”

The official hall of the pawn is on the south side, in the same courtyard as the tool room. Wan Huaixing has not yet entered the courtyard gate, he heard a thunderous snoring sound in the courtyard, the little officials in the pavilion in the courtyard covered their mouths and snickered, whispered, and saw Wan Huaixing arrive and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Lord Wan came to find Lord Li, Lord Li is asleep, hehe, Lord Wan, listen, this snoring is like thunder." ”

"Bold, you dare to laugh at Li Dianzuo. Li Dianzuo has been working on the embankment for nearly a month, he can't eat or sleep well, and he is idle in the yamen, so he should really let you and others go to the embankment to transport stones. Wan Huaixing scolded. Li Yubo was deeply excluded from the yamen in transit, and these officials were the most slippery, so they naturally saw the wind and the rudder, and the yang was against the yang. Wan Huaixing also did the job of a classic, well aware of Li Yubo's predicament, and occasionally said a few good words for Li Yubo, in the transfer envoy Yamen, Li Yubo and Wan Huaixing had a good relationship, so Chang Yuchao asked Wan Huaixing to come to Li Yubo with a silver ticket.

The snoring sound was like thunder, and it seemed that he couldn't wake up all of a sudden, Wan Huaixing asked, "How long has Master Li been asleep?" ”

"Half an hour, do you want to go and wake up Li Dianzuo?" The little official asked.

Wan Huaixing was a little anxious, Chang Yuchao and others in the lobby were still waiting for the letter, and it was possible to see Li Yubo sleep until he woke up tomorrow morning.

Another junior official saw Wan Huaixing's hesitation and said with a smile: "Lord Li brought back an entourage, Lord Wan might as well ask him first if he has anything to say, maybe Lord Li will have woken up by then." ”

Jiang Anyi leaned on the railing of the official house and took a nap, and the little official called him to Wan Huaixing forward. Wan Huaixing didn't know Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi had seen this Wan Daren ugly in front of the south gate, and knew that he was the deputy envoy of the transfer envoy Yamen, and he was originally going to recruit people? Stem phlegm mold? Routon Radon Hui Zhi Chu Gang Pang Zhi Qi Qi Sou Mei screw?/p >

Wan Huaixing asked Jiang Anyi how the embankment was repaired, and there were still a few breaches, Jiang Anyi didn't know what to do, and finally Wan Huaixing was so angry that he asked: "How did you do this entourage, how did Brother Li recruit such an idiot as you." ”

As soon as the words came out, Wan Huaixing's heart moved, there were not a few such fools in the yamen, these people were relatives and friends of the upper and lower officials, and they were specially attached to the river workers to suck blood, and they also arranged for several clan brothers and nephews to enter the yamen, but this person was Li Yubo's relative. It is said that Li Yubo is upright and has never placed a private person, haha, I found one.

Finding that Li Yubo finally joined the stream, Wan Huaixing's mood immediately relaxed, it seems that it is not difficult to convince Li Yubo, Brother Li wants to save face and suffer the crime, if he had already accepted the silver shared by the yamen with the balance of food, how could he be so affected, he would not be squeezed out up and down, and when he took the two thousand taels of silver, he would have to make fun of him.

Jiang Anyi saw that Wan Huaixing suddenly changed his smiling face, and muttered in his heart that this person would not hide a knife in his smile, and was secretly vigilant. Who knew that Lord Wan changed his tone, and asked with concern where he was from and what his relationship was with Li Dianzuo, Jiang Anyi came to his senses, knowing that this Lord Wan had guessed his identity wrongly, and he did not reveal it, and responded vaguely.

Amid the snoring, the battle quietly began.
