The salaries of the officials are not low, Mo Xiaofei is not letting these people get rich, he wants to really let the officials feel that it is not necessary to do bad things to have money, and it is okay to do good deeds.

Tie Er didn't do it for a mere ten taels of silver, he just wanted to help Mo Xiaofei do things, raised a hoe in his hand and shouted, "Brothers, it's time to start!" ”

Spare no effort, unite as one, and unite as one.

Under the moonlight, dozens of images were digging into the roots, and they were busy for three hours.

The raindrops slowly became smaller, and the interval became more and more sparse, and when the sun shone from the east, Mo Xiaofei's face felt a trace of heat, and when he looked up, he realized that the time had come.

Of the eighteen coolies, five have been rescued and sent to Wuxian, four more have been dug up with only one body left, and the other nine are still missing.

Mo Xiaofei sighed, the ancient rescue tools are really backward, I am afraid that we have to restore this place to its original appearance in order to find out the whereabouts of the other nine people, but how much time will it take, there is no one or two months, it is impossible to transfer the mud and stones here out.

Tie Er walked over, his waist was a little unstraight, and he slapped his back with his right hand, "My lord, I don't think I can find it anymore, can I let the brothers go back, it is important to find someone, but after all, there is not much hope, and there are still many things in the county office." ”

Mo Xiaofei thought about it, people must be saved, and if they live to see people die, they must see corpses, but it is not a way to keep looking for them like this, maybe it really takes a month or two to dig up.

But you can't give up saving people, Mo Xiaofei said, "Tie Er, in this way, leave a few brothers to continue to search, and the rest go back first, the officials have other errands, I will arrange for another person to come over and continue to search." ”

Gu Feng also gave enough face, Mo Xiaofei had to let him toss if he wanted toss, so he also left five officials in Baiqu County to cooperate.

Mo Xiaofei led Tie Er back to Wuxian, Zhu Laifu's illness was almost cured, and the carbuncle could be cured, Xinglin Courtyard had not yet opened for business, and its name had begun to start rapidly.

Back at the county office, Mo Xiaofei found Qiu Laosan, the road between Wuxian County and Baiqu County has been cut off, and the folk education can also free up more than 20 people, Mo Xiaofei gave them the task of searching for the coolies who are still alive.

Mo Xiaofei led Wu Liang's family to the workshop to visit the five rescued coolies, the least injured person, that is, the coolies who were the first to be discovered, had vegetables and meat, and their strength was also recovering, but their spirits were very decadent.

The incident has already happened, and while the time is stepping up to save people, the responsibility behind this incident must also be sorted out.

The county order was issued, and everyone from Wuxian and Baiqu counties was not allowed to pass under Wuluo Mountain without permission, even if it was a flash flood, as long as no one passed, there would be no casualties.

But it was someone who didn't listen to the county order that led to the tragedy.

Mo Xiaofei sat beside the coolie and asked about his condition, his feet must not be saved, and he can only lie in bed for the rest of his life in the future, Mo Xiaofei comforted, "This big brother, be stronger, it is a great luck to be able to save his life this time." ”

The pain in the coolie's heart, how could Mo Xiaofei know that Lu Dao had recovered well in the early morning, but later he knew that his feet had been abolished, and he felt sad.

The coolie said, "My lord, what kind of life to keep, I might as well die this time, and it's better to have a hundred of them." ”

The coolie's expression was painful, but it was clearly not caused by the pain in his feet, as his feet were no longer numerous.

Mo Xiaofei saw some clues and said, "What's the matter, everyone has a heart to survive, why did you say such a thing, big brother?" ”

The coolie shook his head and said with a bitter face, "My lord, you are a rich and noble life, I don't know the suffering of our poor, I finally got a job to repair the road, I can fill the family for the family, and the family points to me." But now ......"

Sighing, the coolie continued, "Now my feet are no longer able to work, not only can I not earn money myself, but I also bring a burden to my family, my lord, tell me, is it better for me to die, I don't have to care about anything when I close my eyes, at least I won't let the people in my family take care of me in turn." ”

Yes, Mo Xiaofei nodded, ordinary people are really miserable, life is worse than death.

Saving this person, but it makes him worse than death, this is not the result that Mo Xiaofei wants, save people to the end, Mo Xiaofei said, "Does the eldest brother have any strengths, it doesn't matter if you can't use your feet, your brain can be used, there will be an errand suitable for you." ”

The coolie bent his waist with all his might, and if he could still use his feet at this time, he would have knelt down.

The magistrate is a big official in his eyes, and they all say that the people who are officials don't have a good thing, they are all vicious wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones, but why is the magistrate in front of him different, not only ordered the officials to save people, but also arranged a doctor, and personally visited everyone, what is even more unexpected is that he also wants to find an errand for himself.

This is like the kindness of recreation, how can you not let the coolies be moved and frightened.

"Adult, this ......, the villain is just a waste, how dare you bother with the care of adults, the villain doesn't dare,"

Mo Xiaofei said, "Big brother, don't be so polite, as a parent and official in Wuxian, I am in charge of these things, if the people live in dire straits, they don't have food and clothes, and they don't avoid the cold, I, the county, am ashamed of everyone." ”

I didn't know how to arrange it for a while, Mo Xiaofei said, "Big brother, take care of your body first, and rest assured." By the way, I have something to ask, and I ask my eldest brother to tell me the truth."

"My lord, if you have anything to ask, just ask, as long as the villain knows the way, say it all."

What Mo Xiaofei wants to understand most is why these people are here, the county government issued a county decree prohibiting the people from passing at the foot of Wuluo Mountain, but what is going on with these eighteen people, just with these little people, how dare they disobey the county order.

Mo Xiaofei listened to what the coolie said, and immediately understood.

These coolies are all hard laborers to build roads, hired by Wang Youcai, and they are paid some wages, so that they can work day and night, and the county in the county makes them know the way, but Wang Youcai said, don't pay attention to it, it is all a trick of the government to bluff people.

"The king has wealth!" Mo Xiaofei gritted his teeth and said, "This dead fat man really doesn't know whether to live or die!" ”

Mo Xiaofei stood up angrily, "Wu County Cheng, order someone to arrest Wang Youcai for me and take it to the county office!" ”

Wu Liangjia gave Mo Xiaofei a look, the two walked out of the workshop, Wu Liangjia said, "My lord, Wang Youcai donated to the official, he is also a seven-grade official, although he has no real power, but you, a seven-grade official, have no right to take him, they are all of the same level and the same product." ”

Mo Xiaofei thought about it, and there was such a broken rule, so if he looked at it this way, wouldn't he have no way to take the king's wealth.

Mo Xiaofei said, "Wu County Cheng, because Wang Youcai violated the county order, resulting in a flash flood, such a big thing happened at the foot of Wuluo Mountain, killing and injuring more than a dozen people, this responsibility Wang Youcai has to fight with his life!" ”

Even if it is measured by the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty", Wang Youcai is a capital crime.

The Wu Liang family understands Mo Xiaofei's temper, but in recent years, it is almost unheard of for officials in the Great Qing Dynasty to behead officials because of the death of ordinary people.

Wu Liangjia told what was in his heart, although not all the officials in the Qing Dynasty were all of the same mind, although they also formed gangs and factions, but when it came to the discord of the officials because of the people, there would be no such thing at all.

Although Wang Youcai is not an orthodox official, he can be regarded as a registered seventh-grade official, if Mo Xiaofei forcibly punishes Wang Youcai because of the death of the people, it will arouse the vigilance of people in the officialdom, and it will have a huge impact on Mo Xiaofei's career.

Mo Xiaofei understood the meaning of the Wu Liang family, in this Qing Dynasty, the lives of the people are worthless, and no one will talk about Wang Youcai's crime because of this matter, if he does this, he will become an alternative to officialdom and will attract the dissatisfaction of others.

Mo Xiaofei is not a person who loves power, but he knows that he can help more people with power, so he can only endure it at this time.

Mo Xiaofei quickly had an idea, Wang Youcai is an official, so he can't touch him, but if he is not an official, just a commoner, he can do whatever he wants.

Mo Xiaofei said, "Okay, I understand what Wu Xiancheng means, you sent someone to tell Wang Youcai that if you come to the county government in the afternoon, I have to pull out a layer of skin for him first." ”

Wang Youcai naturally received the news that more than a dozen coolies who were building the road died, and the officials of the county government and the people of the Minjiao went to the foot of Wuluo Mountain to save people.

Wang Youcai was like nothing had happened, thinking to himself, isn't it just a few people who died, it was a flash flood and died, and it wasn't a vendetta, can you be so nervous, just die, anyway, it doesn't matter if there are a few fewer Diao people.

I heard that Mo Xiaofei was looking for himself, Wang Youcai didn't associate the two things together, in his opinion, Mo Xiaofei, as the magistrate of the county, sent people to save the coolies It was already benevolent and righteous, but he didn't expect Mo Xiaofei to find himself to tear his face.

As soon as he arrived at the county office, a government official said that the county magistrate was waiting for him in the yatang.

Wang Youcai pondered, it wasn't a court to try the case, what were you going to do in the yatang, thinking about it, he stepped in.

"The king is rich! Is the prefectural order issued by this county a child's play in your opinion! No one is allowed to approach Wuluo Mountain, and no one dares to disobey the county order! No one dares to disobey my Mo Xiaofei's order, Wang Youcai, you are very bold. ”

Mo Xiaofei was wearing an official uniform on his body, sitting in the hall quite imposingly, staring at Wang Youcai with his eyes like torches.

Wang Youcai really didn't expect to come in and was hit on the head, and he wanted to sit on the wooden chair, but he could only stand and reply at this time.

"Lord Governor, I know that some people died this time, I admit that it was my fault, and before the county order is lifted, I promise not to let the coolies go to that vicinity again in the future. My lord, who is in our relationship, don't be so serious. ”

Mo Xiaofei walked down from the hall and said viciously, "Wang Youcai, let's tell you like this, the death of a few people is nothing, and it has nothing to do with you, but what this county wants to say is that your disobedience to the county order has made the county very faceless, and many people are watching jokes!" ”

Wang Youcai was a little frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand, "My lord, I didn't mean to dismiss your face, I just wanted to hurry up and fix the road, my lord, I really didn't mean that." ”
