After Jiangpu experienced a turmoil, the original structure has all collapsed, and the prefect died tragically in Jiangpu County, and all the upper and lower levels were imprisoned for questioning.

After the turmoil in Jiangpu, the victims can be said to be the top priority at the moment, Sun Heng also started from this aspect, the imperial court gave him some privileges before he came, he asked for instructions, and opened the treasury to allocate money for disaster relief. It was only when he opened the grain depot that he realized how big a "hole" he had poked.

The three granaries in Jiangpu that were supposed to be full of grain were all empty. Even if there is something in it, it is already rotten and moldy food, and it is impossible to take it out for disaster relief. It was also at this moment that Sun Heng finally understood why so many people died in last year's flood. Seeing the big from the small, the situation in Jiangpu is not only a county in Jiangpu.

Sun Heng returned to the county government in a rage, took the people in charge of the management of the granary one by one and sent them to prison, and then went to Jiangning Mansion to ask for support. If this matter is changed to someone else, I am afraid that it will pass like this, after all, if you dig deeper, it will definitely not end well, and Jiang Ning's situation is worrying at the moment, and no one will stir up trouble at such a time.

However, the newly appointed Du Chung is not an ordinary person, in order to show his attitude, or to implement his own principles of doing things, he is very concerned about this matter, and directly ordered Sun Heng to strictly investigate this matter.

After Sun Heng received the reply, he immediately entered the arraignment stage, of course, since these people dared to do such a thing, they would definitely not be afraid that he knew that the little county with a shallow foundation, the result can be imagined, the people in the prison were silent, and the people outside used their connections to try to settle the matter as quickly as possible.

Sun Heng has been very busy these days, on the one hand, dealing with the case of the granary swallowing grain, and on the other hand, he has to lead the reconstruction of Jiangpu.

In the last collision of Jiangpu, the city walls were collapsed, but the city was not damaged much, except for the small alley where the siege took place that night, the damage in other places was not as serious as that night in Jiangning. On that night in Jiangpu, the rain was too heavy, and the fire set by the rioters did not burn.

On the construction site of the repair of the city wall, Sun Heng took his entourage to inspect here, he did not have any foundation in Jiangpu, and he was not a big family originally, and he was subject to many restrictions here, but there were still people who were willing to join his disciples and help him do things.

The person who presided over the restoration of the city wall was a Confucian student in his forties, who had some reputation in this vicinity, and had fallen to Sun Shan several times, so he was a little disheartened and had ambitions in his heart, so he came to help Sun Heng do something, which can be regarded as a means to realize his ambitions. Of course, people like them are not really willing to live under others, but they have seen the "power" behind Sun Heng, and by the way, they can also be said to have accumulated experience.

Sun Heng walked over, the two sides exchanged a few words, and the Confucian named Wen Tao looked worried, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have been eating porridge these days, and if I don't send food over, I'm afraid these people will be in chaos."

Sun Heng nodded: "I know, what advice does Mr. Wen have?" Sun Heng said with his hands together and bowed down gently.

Wen Tao didn't dare to hold it up, although the other party was young, he could even be said to be his junior, but after all, he was an official, he moved half a step from the side, and he also made a gesture, and returned: "Don't dare, according to the following, the adults might as well discuss it with several big families in Jiangpu."

Sun Heng smiled bitterly: "This method doesn't work...... These big clans are involved in the matter of the empty warehouse, and even they are the leaders behind it, and they are currently investigating this matter, and it is impossible for them to notify the grain release at this time. ”

Wen Tao thought for a while and said, "What about the imperial court paying for them?"

"Mr. Changbo thinks that with the tens of thousands of dollars in the Jiangpu treasury, how much can he buy?"

Wen Tao sighed softly when he heard this: "In this way, I can only ask for my life from the Mansion." 52 Literature

Sun Heng said: "I am in charge of a county, if I ask for the official in every detail, I will live up to the trust of the imperial court."

"So what does the county plan to do?"

Sun Heng shook his head: "There is always a way, if it doesn't work, force each family to give food, and those who are perfunctory will be imprisoned for questioning."

Sun Heng said menacingly, young and vigorous in the end. Wen Tao shook his head: "In fact, as long as the county venerable no longer pursues the matter of this empty position, those big clans will definitely not refuse." Wen Tao looked at Sun Heng with a clear look, wanting to see something from the other party's face.

However, Sun Heng's face never softened, and said that he didn't plan to let go of this matter.

Wen Tao sighed leisurely: "I know that this matter was directly ordered by Jiangning Mansion, and the county lord can't avoid it, but we can discuss it with the major clans, this is nothing more than a matter of benefit distribution."

"The three granaries are all empty, if there is a big flood this year like last year, wouldn't the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangpu be dead?" Sun Heng's voice suddenly raised, and some people around him stopped their work and looked over, looking at the new county magistrate curiously.

In fact, for now, Sun Heng is still very popular with the people.

Wen Tao made a reassuring gesture and said in a low voice: "The county should know that after the catastrophe, it will be ...... in a short time That is, there will not be another similar catastrophe for at least three to five years...... The county lord has only been in office for three years, and by that time, you have already ascended to another place. ”

Sun Heng sneered, looked at Wen Tao fixedly, and said after a while: "I know that Mr. is afraid that I will offend those big clans, Sun Heng has thanked Mr. for his kindness...... However, the imperial court ordered me to be the county governor of Jiangpu, and as the parent of a county, how could I ignore hundreds of thousands of people? How can I remain silent like those big clans bowing their heads? And then spend a term like a puppet? ”

Wen Tao was dumbfounded: "I just said that I know with the county honor, and the specific thing that should be done has to be determined by the county honorable person." Then his expression flashed, but he also said sincerely, "Young and vigorous, thinking about doing something for this world, it is good, but ...... If you can't even protect yourself, how can you talk about the people and the world? The eldest husband is alive, you should know the trade-offs, and it may be a good thing for you to make a step today. ”

Sun Heng didn't refute, and squeezed out a smile: "It's just a lot of things, taking a step back is death."

Sun Heng himself didn't want to retreat, but also because he knew that if he retreated, what was waiting for him would be the counterattack of all ethnic groups, and then he would really be a puppet sitting in the hall in the Yali of Jiangpu County.

He didn't study to be a puppet.

Sun Heng withdrew his gaze from afar, clenched his fists, and showed determination in his eyes.

He didn't believe it, he couldn't fight those people.
