Yang Zhen looked at the turbid river water that kept surging in front of him, as well as the people around him who were at a loss, his face was gloomy like the dark sky above his head, and his heart was full of anger and self-blame at the moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was angry, of course, the Li family who did all this. Without thinking about it, he decided that whether it was the fire and the sudden breach of the embankment, it was inseparable from the Li family, and it must be their ghost behind the scenes. What he blamed himself was that he still underestimated the ruthlessness of the Li family, they really dared to put aside the life and death of the people in the county, and dared to do such a heartbreaking thing just to deal with their brothers.

In fact, he should have been on guard against it, and after he found that the rain had stopped, he should have been careful that the other party saw that he could not use Tianwei to achieve his goal, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry. But at that time, he was completely overwhelmed by joy, and he actually forgot about this stubble, resulting in a wrong step and a wrong step, resulting in the bitter fruit of the present.

A hint of hatred flashed in his eyes, and Yang Zhen turned around violently and was about to go to the Li family's mansion. But Yang Chen happened to notice something, and hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Erlang, what are you going to do?" After all, the two of them were brothers, and with just one look, Yang Chen already had a faint feeling.

Yang Zhen didn't hide his thoughts, and said angrily: "Big brother, these two disasters are not natural disasters but man-made. As for who did it, in fact, you and I know very well. Can't we take strong measures and arrest them? ”

Yang Chen's heart was actually angry, he really couldn't imagine that someone would be so vicious as to such a situation, no matter how many casualties were caused by such a good job. But after he was confused at the beginning, he quickly calmed down, grabbed Yang Zhen and said, "Erlang, we have no evidence." Now that the county has suffered a great disaster, there can be no more chaos. This matter can only be pursued after this difficulty! At this moment, if we take action against the Li family, we will only fall into their hands, and after a lawsuit, we will not be able to do anything serious. ”

"This ......" Yang Zhen is also angry for a while, and his emotions will lose control. At this moment, being reminded by his brother like this, coupled with a trace of cool energy gushing out from the dantian—that is the effect of the Qingfeng Jue—suppressed the fire that rushed straight to his head, and he didn't feel calm: "You're right, now is indeed not the time to tear your face with them." ”

"Yes, the top priority now is to quickly reassure the people and minimize losses." Seeing that he was no longer as irritable as he was just now, Yang Chen's heart was relieved, so he let go of his hand, and then turned around and said: "Everyone hurry back to the county office, beat the drum to gather everyone, and we must calm people's hearts as soon as possible." ”

Yang Chen knew very well that even if the river embankment broke, the threat to the county seat was not too great, and the most serious thing was that the water in the city and the fields and roads outside the city were flooded, and the people were safe as long as they stayed at home. However, if the yamen did not react quickly enough, there would inevitably be riots in the city, and the situation would be difficult to control at that time.

Everyone agreed, and hurriedly waded through the water to return to the county office, as for the Chang Ping in front of him, which had been burned to the ground, no one paid any attention to it. After this fire, even if there is still some food left in it, it is no longer available.

However, these people who were in a hurry to rush back to the yamen to arrange the aftermath did not notice that one of them was wearing a relaxed and smug smile on his face at the moment......

"Knock knock ......" has always been more often just a decoration, even if it sounds, it is the people who shout grievances, and the drum of grievances will be beaten by the people in the county government on this night.

After the drum sounded for only a stick of incense, everyone in the county government had gathered in the second hall. Only this time their outfits were very different from usual, and many of them rushed over wearing only shorts and shorts.

Yang Chen was wearing an official uniform and hat at the moment, his expression was extremely serious, and he looked extraordinarily imposing against the backdrop of a group of chaotic subordinates who looked a little flustered. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Chen spoke: "Everyone, the current crisis official will not say much. I am waiting for the court to be the master of the people, and I hope that you will work together with this official to help the people get through this crisis. ”

"Your Excellency, please command." A cadre of county officials headed by Zhao Bangfu and Jiang Chong hurriedly agreed.

"Okay." Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then began to order: "Zhao Xiancheng, you lead some people to Dongcheng to appease the people there, and tell them that although the Puyang River has burst its embankment, it still can't flood into the city." Tell them not to panic, just stay home and be safe. In addition, if there is a house that is seriously flooded, you can bring them to the county government for a while. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Bangfu hurriedly clenched his fists to receive his life, and his expression was quite solemn. At the same time, he also felt a little emotion in his heart, and he was much more convinced by this young county order. Although Yang Chen has completely controlled the power of the county government through several means, and even suppressed him as a county magistrate with no power, Zhao Bangfu still doesn't feel that he will be worse than this young county magistrate, especially when he sees that he is constantly fighting against the Xuanli family and making trouble, Zhao Bangfu feels that Yang Chen is too young and ambitious, and he is really not a suitable candidate to be a county magistrate.

But after seeing Yang Chen's unruly performance at the moment, Zhao Bangfu's original dissatisfaction vanished at this moment. He has decided that as long as he passes this pass, he will do his best to assist Yang Chen in the future and govern this county well.

Yang Chen didn't know that his performance had conquered Zhao Bangfu, and even if he knew that he didn't have the heart to think too deeply at this moment. I saw him speak again: "Master Jiang, the west of the city is going to be handed over to you, but don't let the official down." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Chong, who was standing next to him, with a somewhat embarrassed and strange expression.

"Huh?" Many people in the hall who knew the inside story of the county government, as well as their own adults, Jiang Zhushu and the Li family, all showed surprise. They really didn't expect Yang Chen to use Jiang Chong at this time.

In fact, it wasn't just them, Jiang Chong himself didn't expect Yang Chen to come here. Hearing Yang Chen's order, he was obviously stunned: "Why does Yang County Order dare to use me?" He didn't know about my relationship with the Li family, and this time the matter was ......."

Because of this stunned, Jiang Chong did not immediately receive the order like Zhao Bangfu. Yang Chen's eyes narrowed, and he shouted again: "Master Jiang? Why, at this time, don't you want to do something for the people of the county? ”

In these words, there is another layer of deep meaning, which seems to be asking Jiang Chong whether he is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light. Jiang Chong was asked by him, and his heart suddenly surged with pride that he had not seen for many years. I think that at the beginning, he also embarked on his career with enthusiasm for the country and the people, and at that time he also thought about benefiting the people of a place with this knowledge and skills.

But as a result, the cruelty of reality finally killed his ambition. In the end, he Jiang Chong was reduced to a puppet official who could only do things according to the will of the local tyrants. Even if he knew that everything the other party did was wrong, he could only pretend that he didn't understand anything.

But this time, what the Li family did greatly exceeded Jiang Chong's final bottom line. They burned the granary and dug the embankment, although they could put Yang Chen in a Jedi, but it was the innocent people in Zhuji County who were really killed. As a local official in Zhuji, how could he bear to suffer such a catastrophe for his fellow villagers?

"Now, it's time to change the door and do something that is beneficial to the people of the county and worthy of my own conscience!" Once the idea was decided, Jiang Chong did not hesitate any longer, and immediately took a step forward and arched to the end: "The lower official has received the order, and he will do his best to protect the lives and property of the people in the county." ”

When he raised his head and met Yang Chen, Yang Chen had already seen his mind from the bottom of his eyes. This made a happy smile appear on the latter's face, and he also arched his hand and said: "Master Jiang, at this moment, you and I are in the same boat, everything will be entrusted to you." ”

Jiang Chong nodded solemnly, then nodded some people and hurriedly left the county office.

"Zhou Dianshi, you go to the north of the city ......"

"Yes."

"Yang Zhen, you go to the south of the city ......" Yang Chen kept making arrangements all the time, sending out all the available people in the county office.

At this moment, it finally reflects the results of Yang Chen's painstaking operation in the county government for most of the previous half a year. Even in the face of such a change, the county government was still able to act according to his command, and did not act separately as before.

Seeing everyone hurrying away, Yang Chen's complexion softened slightly. Since it has happened, it is useless to regret or complain, only to face and solve the problem is the most correct way.

Now that he had done everything he had to do, he could only pray, praying that it would not rain again, otherwise the county would be in chaos because of the panic of the people, even if it was not swallowed up by the rising river.

"Li Chenggang......" Yang Chen's eyes flashed with resentment, looking at the sky outside that was already white, and said softly: "What you did before was certainly bad, but I may not have made up my mind to treat your family as a whole." But today, you've gone too far. As long as I, Yang Chen, am still in the position of the county commander of Zhuji, I will definitely not let you have a good life. No matter how difficult it is next, I will uproot your Li family! ”

Since coming to this world, even if he knew how the Zhang family framed him in prison and what Xuan Chuang did behind his back, Yang Chen was not as angry as he is today. This time, what the Li family has done has completely broken through his bottom line, so what they are about to face will be a comprehensive counterattack from his Yang Chen Yang County Order!

At this moment, the sky above Zhuji County, which had been gloomy for almost a month, finally had a round of red sun slowly rising.

Sunshine is always bright after the wind and rain!
