On the roof, Yang Siqi secretly snorted, wanting to get away with it easily, but there was no door, how could he provoke a civil uprising if he didn't poke a hole in the sky.

The candle shadow shook red, and the faces of the five people in the room flushed, and the uneasiness in their hearts was suppressed by the strength of the wine. However, no matter how much wine there was hidden in his heart, Qiu Guangming, who was sitting at the bottom right of the canal department, clenched the cup in his hand as if he was afraid of the cold, and said worriedly: "Only Li Dianzuo is the most unreliable in the yamen, how do you think you should deal with it?" ”

Li Dian made Li Yubo, a person from a background, once served as the head of the Ministry of Industry and Water Superintendent, famous for being familiar with the construction of the camp, Jianwu was appointed by the court for three years as the Jiangnan Transit Envoy Yamen's masterpiece (from the eight products), in charge of the construction affairs of the river engineering, but he did not expect to encounter the major event of the river embankment breaking in just half a year.

Chang Zhichao pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Li Yubo still supervising the work on the river embankment?" Since the flood washed away the embankment, Li Yubo has been leading the river workers to build the embankment in a hurry, and he has been living on the embankment for nearly a month.

"Yes, the lower officials have inspected the river embankment several times and advised him to go to the city to rest for a few days." Wan Huaijie said: "But this stubborn man said that if the embankment is not closed, he will not return to the city for a day." ”

The image of a muddy body and a sloppy beard flashed in his mind, and the figure in the black cloak was like iron casting in the wind and rain, Wan Huaijie had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like, there was admiration, envy and jealousy, ten years ago, he also ran on the river embankment like this, and he didn't know when the iron bones were eroded by the wine and beauty, and he became the self that he hated today.

Duan Shuang said: "Li Yubo has always been unsociable, every time he sends him food, the balance is returned to the yamen, and the Bing Tan Jing at the end of last year was not accepted, saying that there is no such name as the water supervisor in Beijing. I heard that he kept a private account when he built the river, and if this private account was obtained by the minister, I am afraid that he would die without a place to bury. ”

There was a dead silence in the house, and the methods of the river workers were shocking by cutting corners, falsely reporting amounts, appointing private individuals, and deducting wages. Taking the Jiangnan Transit Envoy Si Yamen as an example, every year the court pays 400,000 taels of silver for annual repair, and 200,000 taels are divided between the Yamen and the local officials by the transfer of money.

In order to ensure that there is no accident, 100,000 taels are used to play up and down, the Ministry of Industry, the capital water supervisor, these directly managed yamen Bingjing, Tan Jing, four hours and eight festivals of the number of ceremonies can not be less than half a cent, Yuanhua River every year when fishing saury, the transfer makes the yamen with express transport to Beijing, when the weather is still hot in early autumn, ten percent can only survive three percent, this alone will cost nearly 10,000 taels of silver.

The remaining 100,000 taels had to be done with 400,000 taels, but they had to be exploited by the officials who handled the purchase of materials, and the merchants who undertook the materials and goods naturally had to use shoddy goods and falsely report the quantity in order to make profits, and the government only gave half of them, or even only sent them one or two yuan, and one person filled ten people, and the quality of the project produced in this way can be imagined.

After a long time, Chang Zhichao said astringently: "Huaijie, you and Li Yubo can talk, tomorrow you will go to the account office to pay two thousand taels of silver tickets and send them, and persuade him by the way, this matter is related to the livelihood of thousands of people, let him focus on the overall situation." As long as he accepts the silver ticket, everything will be fine, if he still refuses to accept ......"

Chang Zhichao didn't continue, there was a heavy breathing sound in the room, and everyone knew what Li Yubo would face next. Yang Siqi listened to it on the rooftop,

secretly said in his heart that this guy is really black, and others are not willing to join the same stream and will be killed, this time Li Ye wants to be a good person, save the officials and punish the corrupt officials.

Probably because he had been rebellious for a long time, and thinking of being a hero, Yang Siqi couldn't help but feel excited, his feet slipped, stepped on the slippery tiles, made a sound, and quickly learned a few cat meows in disguise. However, the blind man was shown to the blind man, and several people in the room did not notice the abnormal noise above their heads at all, and they were still immersed in Chang Zhichao's words full of murderous intent.

After a long time, Wan Huaijie sighed: "I hope Li Yubo can help us speak for the sake of colleagues, and everyone will tide over the difficulties together." ”

Sanyu said in a soft tone: "Of course I won't do this until I have to, so let's do what we have in our hands now." How much money was spent in the account, and told those material dealers that no one was allowed to adulterate this time, otherwise don't blame the official for not telling the situation. In addition, more people were hired to do the work, and they tried to plug all the breaches before the chincha came, so that the chincha could not see the contents of the embankment. ”

The others should be in unison, knowing that this is not the time to be greedy for silver, silver is good, but it is also necessary to have a life flower, and if you can block the disaster in front of you, there will be opportunities to be greedy again.

Duan Shuang said: "In the past few decades, the Yuanhua River and the Huanyang River have repeatedly broken the embankment, and the 400,000 taels of silver given by the court every year cannot be exhaustive. ”

Yongdong County and Tianqing County are on both sides of the Yuanhua River, and these two embankments of ten miles each are model projects made by the Jiangnan Transshipment Envoy Yamen, and the court must bring them to these two places every time there is an inspection, which allows them to overcome many difficulties.

Chang Zhichao saw everyone laughing, raised his glass and said with a smile: "You don't need to be nervous, take 10,000 steps back and say that we still have a talisman with us, as long as Yu Gongzi is fine, we won't have anything serious." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed together, and their expressions were really relaxed. The most nervous Si Cheng Zou Sujie also smiled: "I don't know where Yu Gongzi went to find flowers and ask Liu today?" ”

Qiu Guangming is a veteran of the party, and he is very interested in talking about this kind of thing, and he said with his eyebrows: "Yu Gongzi is a master of the party, who doesn't know that this red man in Linhua County heard that Yu Gongzi is coming, and he would rather post money and offend the guests to grab it." Yan'er in Huancailou, Mei'er in Songzhu Pavilion, Lele in Meihua Pavilion, which one is not one in a million beauties, even if you spend hundreds of taels of silver to want the spring breeze, it depends on the girl's mood, but Yu Gongzi went, not only did he not collect money, but he waited carefully for fear of offending, this person was more angry than people. ”

Duan Shuang smiled obscenely: "You Xiaoqiu has the talent and family background of a jade son, and you are willing to pay for those girls without spending money." ”

Sanyu smiled with a smile, since the second year of Jianwu, Yu Gongzi went to Jiangnan to transfer the Yamen Ren Dushui to join the army (from the seventh grade), he has been careful to serve, and now this talisman can finally come in handy. This jade prince is Xiong Zhiren's eldest son, the elder brother of the crown princess, Xiong Yi'an, who looks like the wind god Yuli is a talent, and is known as the jade prince.

This jade prince is a jinshi in the fifteenth year of Jianwu, and was only twenty years old at the time, and served as a county prince in Zhouning County, Chenzhou, originally had to work hard for qualifications, and two years later the sister was elected as the crown princess.

This jade boy has a family history, and he can be called a rich school, with excellent lyrics and poems, and fine piano, chess, calligraphy and painting

Tong, and the appearance is like a beautiful jade, and it is a full woman's fate. At that time, he married Du Lihong, the daughter of the counselor, and went to Zhouning County shortly after marriage, and took a concubine He a year later. Transferred to Dushui to join the army, Xiong Yi'an sent the concubine back to Beijing, and came to Linhua County alone to take up his post.

The merry Xiong Gongzi soon had the reputation of the Jade Prince, and this son lingered between the Qinglou every day, and the red people chanted poems to enjoy the wind and play with the moon, and they were happy to return. Chang Yuchao just didn't let trivial matters bother Yu Gongzi, but just offered two silver taels to Yu Gongzi on time, and each took what he got and settled down.

At this moment, in a quiet courtyard in the backyard of the Huancai Building in the west of Linhua County, the sound of the piano in the small attic is "Ding Dong", and the little bear boys near the window sit cross-legged, and listen quietly with their hands and foreheads slightly closed. After playing the song, Xiong Yi'an raised his head and praised: "Miss Yan'er's song "Autumn Water" made me suddenly see the long sky, the white clouds, the sparkling waves, and the fishing songs, which is really wonderful. ”

The woman who stroked the qin on the opposite side stood up, Yingying came to a few fronts and knelt beside Xiong Yi'an, took a cup of tea and handed it over, and said softly: "I can get Yulang's praise, Yan'er is not in vain for ten years of hard work." Childe, please use tea. ”

"Lan has beautiful chrysanthemums and fragrant, and Huai Jiaren can't forget." Xiong Yi'an took the teacup and smiled and groaned.

Yan'er said angrily: "The son is here in the concubine's body, but he is still thinking about Mei'er sister and Lele girl, why don't you send someone to invite you, today I will wait for the three sisters to accompany the child." ”

Xiong Yi'an drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and came to the window, and replied: "The moon is dark and the night is deep, the wind and turmoil on the bank of the Yuanhua River are surging, I don't know who is talking secretly in the dark room, I'm afraid even I can't avoid this turmoil." Yan'er, the fate of you and me is coming to an end. ”

Yan'er's face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Childe is kind, in the past, he just deceived Yan'er, how could he say such a thing." If you don't make it clear today, Yan'er would rather die by throwing herself into the building than suffer from separation. ”

Xiong Yi'an turned his face, the candlelight shone on the handsome face that was as white as jade, the sword eyebrows were raised and heroic, Yan'er's eyes were intoxicated, staring at the angular and charming face, her heart beat faster, although she had seen it countless times, she still couldn't extricate herself. Yan'er didn't notice Xiong Yi'an's eyes, as deep as a well, how could she be half intoxicated with the obsession of flowers, and a sneering smile rose from the corners of her lips, making her whole face vivid.

"The Yuanhua River burst the embankment, the Son of Heaven was furious, the court sent a messenger to investigate, and the Jiangnan transfer made the yamen bear the first burden, and the corruption in the past is afraid that it will be difficult to cover up the past. The master is unlucky, he just wants to be a rich idler, but he didn't expect this disaster to happen, and it is estimated that the messenger will use me as a shield. If it doesn't involve the master, it's okay, the master might as well cover it up for them, but if you want to use the master, the master will inevitably fight with them. Originally, the master wanted to use the silver taels sent by the Yamen in the past two years to redeem you, but it seems that it is difficult to get your wish. Xiong Yi'an's eyes glowed with affection, and he stretched out his palm to caress Yan'er's silky face and petted it.

Yan'er heard that Xiong Yi'an was going to redeem herself, and said happily: "Childe doesn't have to worry, as long as Childe is interested, Yan'er has accumulated some furniture over the years, in addition to being able to redeem herself, there is still some surplus, you can buy a house in the city, and it is Yan'er's wish to live and fly with Childe, even if you are broken, Yan'er will not hesitate." ”

Hearing Yan'er's categorical words, Xiong Yi'an smiled lightly: "It's the hardest thing to live up to the beauty, it's not early, you and I can rest in peace." ”
