Chapter 522: Insincerely, the most helpless

After breaking up with Li Bai, Wang Wei didn't look for an inn to rest, and when he passed by a grocery store in the heavy rain, he went in and bought a hat at a high price, covering his already wet head, at least he could not let the rain continue to drench, u ucom will arrive~

Along the street again, into the widest main road, not long after, I saw the Hongnong County government office, there are two officials at the door to guard, to be precise, enjoyment.

A shed was erected at the entrance of the yamen, which was ventilated on all sides, and because the shed was large, the officials who lived and sat inside would not be swept away by the wind and rain.

Light smoke with the smell of meat fluttered out of the shed everywhere, and the rich aroma of cumin reached the nose, and even Wang Wei, who had only eaten for a short time, planned to eat again.

Wang Wei's appearance did not make the two officials pay much attention, the two continued to roast delicious food there, the egg-sized piece of beef was passed through the skewers, flipped back and forth on the charcoal fire, the oil dripped down, out of the sizzling movement, and then lightly sprinkled a little salt, so that the oil rose faster, when the cold wind blew, there was a different taste.

"Good life, good enjoyment." Wang Wei, who was standing at the entrance of the yamen, praised softly, and continued: "Who said how difficult it is to rain in Tuotuo? A light smoke and white mist drifted away. If the blood charcoal is red and the oil is yellow, don't mistake the fairy court in the world. ”

"Good poems, come, make another one, and reward you with a string." When the official heard the voice, he raised his head and waved the ungrilled meat skewer in his hand and praised.

"Thank you, the meat is not in a hurry to eat, the county officials are there? The official was ordered by the emperor to inspect the place, and Wang Wei was also. Wang Wei tried his best to resist the urge to take out the pistol he was holding out for self-defense and fire twice, his face sinking more gloomy than the sky.

As he spoke, he walked into the shed, took out his identity certificate from his bosom, and showed it to the two officials.

The official who had just spoken, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, leaned his head nervously to watch, and after only a few glances, he determined that the identity of the other party did not seem to be fake, and grinned awkwardly, "Eh, I didn't know that the adults came, and I didn't welcome you from afar, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

The other official next to him didn't have a bad look, and hurriedly handed Wang Wei a few freshly grilled meat skewers, and said with a shy face: "My lord, you taste it, the fresh meat is fragrant, and the small one will go and report to you immediately, wait a minute, wait a minute." ”

Wang Wei looked back at the half head of a child who was hiding in the corner not far away, squinted his eyes and looked at the two officials, the muscles at the cheekbones moved upward, revealing a sad and smiling expression, silently took the meat skewers, and pinched out cumin from the spice box next to him and slowly sprinkled it on the meat skewers, took a bite for himself, turned around and beckoned to the child hiding there, and raised the meat skewers.

The little child who couldn't stand the meat skewers ** flashed out of shape, stepped on the water with two little feet* instead, and rushed over with a wave of spray, first looked sideways at the officials who stayed, and saw that the officials did not make a sound, let alone stared at them, so they raised their little faces and asked, "For me?" ”

"Let's eat together, okay?" Wang Wei handed over two strings.

"Okay." The child happily took it, opened his mouth to take a bite, and suddenly "Bah, who baked it, it's not cooked inside, it's burnt outside, I'll come." ”

The child couldn't help but snatch a few unfinished meat skewers from Wang Wei's hand, add his own, put them back on the stove, and took out a small pair of scissors from his body like a trick, cut off the scorched meat with a few quick strokes, flipped the meat skewers smoothly with one hand, and sprinkled the seasonings placed next to him from time to time with the other hand.

It didn't take too long for the meat skewers to be grilled, and as soon as he smelled it, Wang Wei was much better than what he smelled just now, looked at the child in surprise, and asked, "Baby, how can you bake it?" ”

"I opened a barbecue restaurant before I entered the county, I tell you, in fact, it is not good to use fresh meat directly when barbecing, there is blood and water that is not clean, you should 'simmer' it first, and I don't know who cut this meat, cut it along the stubble, it is easy to roast away, and the heat is uneven, chew it and stuff your teeth, you invite me to eat today, and when the water passes, my store will reopen, and I will invite you to eat again."

After the child finished speaking, he blew two breaths, blew the smoke away, looked at the color of the meat, nodded with satisfaction, and handed back Wang Wei's meat skewers just now.

Wang Wei's mood suddenly improved a lot, not for the child's kebabs, but for the child's optimistic spirit, opened his mouth, bit off a piece hard, and nodded while chewing, "It's delicious, good ability, I never thought that a barbecue skewer also has such knowledge, your family makes barbecue, you still love to eat?" ”

The child replied with a natural expression, and nodded again: "I love to eat, my family loves to eat meat skewers, my father said, I don't like to eat meat skewers, I must not sell them to others, because I like it, so I study, so I am religious." ”

Wang Wei was stunned when he heard the child's words, he just felt that the child was pitiful, so he invited him to eat meat skewers once, how could he have thought that he would hear such words, no wonder the child's face did not show that kind of look of caring too much, it turned out that people have money, there is no doubt about this, can let the child know that the meat skewers he doesn't like to eat are definitely not sold to other people's family adults, and the business can be worse?

Thinking so, Wang Wei asked the child, "Is the home okay now?" ”

"Not good" the child shook and dragged on, and then said: "A lot of money is gone, the three hundred cows and more than five hundred sheep that I just bought back last month are gone, chickens, ducks, and pigs, the loss is even greater, the most important thing is that the county school is full, I can't squeeze in, u ucom will be there~"

"Well, don't worry, everything will be fine, and when the flood passes, your cattle and sheep will come back." Wang Wei comforted.

"It's not, it's not a natural disaster, it's **, the first county order of Honglu Water is strong, how can it be washed away? In fact, we know that Yan County ordered that when he was short of money, he dug up the river, and then robbed us of our money and livestock. ”

"Little cub, shut up, and talk nonsense about your life." Before the child could finish speaking, the remaining servant roared loudly, his eyes widened, and he began to roll up his sleeves as if he was about to beat someone.

"Hmph" The child hid behind Wang Wei and poked his head out, "Gentleman, Zhou Ye; Those who are common to the people, the water is also; The water will carry the boat, the water will overturn the boat, you seal my mouth alone, and you can seal the hearts of all the people in the world? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Wei nodded again and again, and a sense of admiration for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan rose in his heart, this is the result of the Chaoyang action, the politeness of the child he met at breakfast, and now the fact that the child opened his mouth is an allusion, thanks to the Chaoyang action.

At the beginning, I was an official in the local government, and I heard that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan of Baoxin County made a sunrise action, and they were only two children who were idle and bored, and they would not become a climate.

"This adult, don't listen to his nonsense, the county commander, dedicated to the people, how can it be that this year's rain is very heavy, the county magistrate is powerless to return to the sky, and it is hard to think about tea and rice every day."

The official hurriedly explained to Wang Wei, with a sad expression on his face.

Wang Wei is no longer a fledgling, how can he not know his way with his enthusiasm to do things, what he can do now is to meet with the officials of the yamen first, learn as much as possible about the situation, cooperate with Li Bai to collect intelligence outside, and report to the court at that time.

'No wonder Your Majesty doesn't give his two people to help him, the current Hongnong County can be said to be run by local officials, and it is difficult to enter, even if two or three hundred people come with it, it is useless, I can't find evidence, how to arrest people? If you force it, you will be besieged by the local yamen. ’

Wang Wei thought that he had understood the emperor's difficulties, and secretly sighed.

Turned around, touched the child's head, and said against his will: "Go, this official believes that Yan County Ling is worried about your affairs and think of a way, to understand the difficulties of one of the parents and officials, the river must not be built firmly enough, go back to your family, it is estimated that Yan County Ling will have a way soon, go, ah." ”

"How can it not be strong? That's ....... ”

"Know, go ahead, no matter who repairs it, there will always be a time of negligence, and everything will be fine." Wang Wei didn't let the child continue, picked up a few more grilled meat skewers, stuffed them in the child's hand, and pushed the child's shoulders to let him go.

The child's big eyes were full of puzzlement, and when he saw that this person who was supposed to be an official pushed himself, he angrily threw the meat skewers on the ground, "I know, there is no good thing in being an official, I know, I know." ”

Looking at the small figure running into the rain curtain, Wang Wei's mouth was tightly pursed.

"I don't know that Lord Wang is coming, the lower officials are late, forgive sins, forgive sins." At this moment, the door of the yamen creaked open, and a thin man was greeted from inside.

"Don't catch a cold, don't catch a cold, if you're sick, you'll get an injection, it hurts, I'll take medicine to prevent it now." Under the heavy rain, Xiaobei poured down a bowl of banlan root powder, and clicked his mouth twice, sweet.

The others also drank the medicine given by the doctor with the team, and what they drank was not sweet, so the doctor didn't bother to coax them.

With a casual wipe of his sleeve on his mouth, Xiaobei pointed forward, "Forward." The team waded in the direction she was pointing.

Walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, a river appeared, Xiaobei glanced at Sister Xiaozhu blankly, Xiaozhu looked around, and said: "The tributary of Honglu Water, this river is called Hongyuan River, and it is the main river of Hongyuan Village. ”

Xiaobei nodded convincingly, since Sister Xiaozhu said that it was Hongyuan River, it must not be wrong, Sister Xiaozhu is not only good at drawing, but also good at drawing maps, and has a strong sense of direction.

The person in charge of observation next to him spoke out at this time: "Little lady, there is a bridge in front, but unfortunately it was lost by the water, leaving only a bridge deck, half-hidden under the water, and you can wade through." ”

"Then find a high place and walk over." Xiaobei took the umbrella of the person next to him, carried it himself, and walked there under the protection of everyone.

As soon as I arrived at a 'big dirt slope' by the bridge, the water level of the river suddenly rose, and there was another flood peak upstream.

"Oh no, the bridge is going to break, a big tree has been washed down." When Xiao Yuan took the telescope to take a look, he saw a large canopy floating in the river upstream, thinking that there was a tree root falling below, and it was not completely horizontal, so he leaned towards the small bridge.

Xiaobei and the others were frightened, the tree was as thick as two adults, such a thick tree, rushed by the water, you can imagine the consequences of hitting the bridge.

The crowd watched as the tree crashed into the water-soaked bridge.

'Boom, boom,' everyone felt the ground under their feet tremble a few times, and then looked at the bridge, and their eyes were straight.

I saw that the tree that hit the bridge was in direct contact with the bridge and broke at the waist, and the part of it smashed into the place where the bridge deck was located with white stubble.

The place blocked by the tree is blocked by the presence of trees, which prevents the water from directly passing the bridge deck, and the exposed place of the bridge can be vaguely seen that there is a large crack there, and there are several small gaps, as for the smaller gaps, I don't know.

But even so, the bridge was not destroyed.

"Huh? Is that okay? Who built the bridge? Flooded, hit by a big tree, can you still hold on? Xiaobei's eyes straightened, and he stuck out his tongue and said.

Immediately, two people in the team jumped down regardless of the rushing water, fluttered and swam to the place where the bridge exposed a pillar on the shore, plunged into it and touched it, and then held on to the railing of the bridge and shouted to Xiaobei: "There are words on it, 'In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, summer, it was repaired by the village school, Zheng Zheng Construction Group. ’”

As he spoke, there was a hint of pride on his face.

"Huh" Xiaobei waved his little fist excitedly, "I know that the strongest place must be built by my family, Zheng Zheng building, iron bones." ”

Others are also honored.

One of the people in charge of the steward wondered at this time: "According to this, the water conservancy project of Honglu Water should also be repaired by our family's construction group, usually after completing the local project, and taking out the profits to build the main body or supporting facilities for the local school, how can the embankment break?" ”

"It's a drop, it's a drop, how can it be bad? Could it be that the construction team is cutting corners? I borrowed their guts. Becky also wondered.

"There must be something unknown to outsiders, and I'll talk about it after the investigation." Xiaoyuan is helping on the side.

A group of people waited on the dirt slope for two quarters of an hour, and then continued to move forward, and when wading across the bridge, they also carefully looked at the place where they were hit by the big trees, where two steel bars were directly broken, and a few were bent, and many of the wires made of the thickness of the little finger were also exposed, and the pebbles and small pieces of broken cement were scattered.

The main body of the bridge cracked a large crack, and the gap cracked all the way to the bridge, but even so, the bridge still crossed the river and did not collapse.

The group walked across the bridge with the pride of Zhang and Wang's own pride, wading through the muddy water and continuing to move forward, and after half an hour, they saw a three-story building in front of them, and there was a crisp recitation in the sound of water.
