Chapter 908: Putting the cart before the horse

Lord Li finally spoke, and after the Shicheng County Commander left, the Xinning County Commander also ran back to pull people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn less than half an hour, the county commanders of the two counties arrived with dozens of civilian servants from their respective counties.

Li Yin waved his hand and started working. Immediately, there was a clanging sound of excavation on the hillside.

Li Yin felt a little tired again, but this time it was not physically tired, but mentally tired. Somehow, Peng Shui Ling Zhang Ji and his subordinate Ma Xun Jincheng have been a little bit wrong in the past two days.

Li Yin couldn't figure it out for a while, so he sat on the stone on the side to rest. As long as you connect here, this big thing that keeps you busy every day will be over.

Then he won't think about officialdom, the little chicken he was in the courtyard of Duwei, he hasn't gone back these days, and he doesn't know what happened to him in the yard.

He thought about the well-behaved little white dog again, he didn't care about his ugly face, and his affection for himself was also from the heart, which was much cuter than some people.

Li Yin sat there, feeling that his heart was suddenly hot, but he didn't know whether he went to Chang'an with Cui Ying or was locked up in the Assassin's Mansion in Qianzhou.

Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly a large group of civilian servants came over on the other side of the hillside, and a village from an unknown township rushed to the construction site together. When they arrived at the place where the construction was taking place in the two counties, they couldn't help but shout for these people to stop work and "don't do it anymore."

Li Cheng walked over and asked, "Where did you come from, why did you obstruct the construction of the ditch?" ”

The man who looked like the village stepped forward, and saluted the capital envoy with some humility, and then said, "My lord, who doesn't know that there are subsidies in the state for those who do engineering?" Our own people are carrying water and hoeing the land over there, but the people from other counties are doing it to make a living, which is unreasonable! ”

Li Yin understood, and said to them, "This is what your county commander Zhang ordered, this official can't control it, this official only cares about the completion of the canal on schedule, no matter anything else, everyone still has to do the things arranged by Zhang County's order, don't delay the big thing." ”

More than a dozen angry civilians said, "What is a big deal, the money that should have been earned by us is a big deal if it is earned by people from other counties, if Lord Li doesn't order them to stop, how can he tell us anything big?" ”

Li Yin turned around and looked for Ma Xun again, but Master Ma was gone, and the working servants in Shicheng and Xinning counties also stopped and looked straight to this side.

Li Yin was patient and said to the leading village, "Then you let them come up and do it together, the more people can do it faster, and everyone will have subsidies." ”

But the village said, that's not good, the state government's subsidy is given by the day, and the two-day work is done in half a day, and the rest of the big money, Lord Li, will you give it?

Li Yin's temper was not good, and when he heard the words, he shouted, "Unreasonable!" Lord Thorn Shi set up a water diversion plan, and in order to sympathize with the people's strength, he agreed to pay the subsidy according to the level. But you are good, put the cart before the horse, put the big money in front of the water diversion, don't leave quickly, save you Lord Zhang from being difficult to explain in the future! ”

But those people seemed to have some kind of situation, and they were not afraid at all, not only did they not listen to Li Yin's angry reprimand, but a few people ran up to grab the hammers, chisels and other things in the hands of the civil servants of the other two counties.

Li Yin has always been supported by Lord Shi, and he usually doesn't need to be followed by officials or fast catchers wherever he goes, at this time he is only one person, although he is not afraid, but he is not good to step forward to stop himself.

The people from the other two counties are all working, and only two county orders each bring two county errands, and they are also lonely. Seeing that things were delayed again.

Li Yin was a little at a loss, but he saw a horse team of 145 people galloping close at the foot of the mountain, and it was the Western Governor Shi Suyin, Yahuan and her guards who had arrived.

When they came up, Yahuan first took down a can of bean paste soup from the car, put a wooden spoon in it, and stuffed it into Li Yin's hand.

Yahuan learned the whereabouts of Master Li, so she begged Su Yin to come over, but the scene in front of her quickly made her understand the fate, and she went to see Su Yin.

As soon as Governor Shi arrived, the troublesome Pengshui servants were a little restrained, but they didn't leave, Yahuan begged in a low voice, "Sister Su......"

Su Yin said to those humanitarians, "The drought-fighting allowance was donated by my mother's family, and it should be managed by me, and it has nothing to do with Lord Li." But this money is only given to the people who do the project, let you make the ditch, you say you want to hoe the ground, you don't do it yourself, but you interfere with others, what is the reason! ”

Someone shouted, "She is just a long history from Xizhou, how can she manage our livelihood, in short, I only listen to the county order's parents, Master Zhang, he takes care of our livelihood, and other people don't have to be afraid at all." ”

Some people also whispered, "Don't make a mistake, she is the daughter-in-law of Lord Assassin Shi, the eighth lady of the Governor of Xizhou, do you dare to rush against her?" Look at her guards, none of them are easy to mess with......"

"But the girls from fourteen or fifteen Western Prefectures, what can be the big deal!"

The female guards who were all draped in clothes listened to it and remained motionless, just waiting for Su Yin to speak, "Separate these people who don't know what to do, and if there are unreasonable people, just punch and fight!" Only then did they move neatly and stand forward, rejecting people thousands of miles away.

The sound of hammer chisels on the construction site was heard again. Li Yinchang let out a long breath, and Yahuan stepped forward and said, "Master Li, this is the bean paste soup I made myself, you can taste it." ”

Li Yin held the soup can, scooped up a spoonful with a wooden spoon and put it in his mouth, which was as sweet as sand, and then beckoned the two county commanders and said, "Two adults, the craftsmanship of the Assassin Mansion is really good, this official can't bear to swallow it alone, let you also taste it." ”

The two county magistrates of Shicheng and Xinning hurriedly came over to taste it, and then praised Yahuan, but Yahuan turned away a little angrily, and her kindness was deliberately misinterpreted by Lord Li.

But at this time, two unconvinced Pengshui civil servants came up again at the behest of Muramasa, and were immediately opened by Su Yin's female guards with punches and kicks, and someone ripped off the fast crossbow they were wearing and shouted, "Come forward again, break his dog's leg first!" ”

The two who were beaten were not small, and they also had the strength to do it, but just two of them were beaten by those female guards and their noses were swollen and defeated.

Their faces were gloomy, and sure enough, they found the guards to entangle, and their words were not clean.

But suddenly there was a scream of "ah-", and one of them had a crossbow bolt stuck in his thigh, and the blood flowed profusely, and the rest of the people scattered as birds and beasts.

Muramasa shouted, "Oh no, the people of the government have beaten the county civil servants, let's go find someone who can be the master!" The men rushed to the top of the mountain, and their figures disappeared behind the mountain.

Li Yin said, "I'm worried that I can't find Master Zhang, but it's easy for them to find it!" ”

As he spoke, it was as if there was a torrential rain behind the mountain, and from the top of the mountain where the departed servants had disappeared, along the stone canal that had already been built, there was a torrent rushing in!

On the top of the hill is a large reservoir, which has been filled with water from the fourth and fifth grade waterwheels for several days, but it has not been released because the stone canal under construction has not yet been completed.

But at this time, the water rushed down, and it was obvious that those who had left had deliberately made trouble, and some people on the construction site had already noticed the rushing water, and they hurriedly jumped out of the construction place with a shout.

While shouting at people to dodge, Li Yin pulled up the maid ring and called those female guards to protect Su Changshi to hide to a high place. But there are still a few civilian servants in Shicheng County and Xinning County, who are slow to respond and only care about working low, and they were instantly washed down the mountain by the flood!

Li Yin saw that Changshi and Yahuan, as well as the guards who came with him, were all right, he turned around and ran to the top of the mountain, which was already empty.
