Chapter 665: Return to Beijing
"Governor Wang, thank you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Holding a lot of things, Li Yang almost thanked the prefect of the king for his kindness, so many good things, if he insisted on his principles just now and let them go, he would definitely regret it.
"Hey, Li Yang has seen the outside, these treasures have been rediscovered in your hands, it should be the official thank you." Wang Zhifu said with emotion.
"Well said, well said." Li Yang laughed a few times, and jumped back to his room with a lot of things in his arms.
"Oh, yes, no wonder there have always been people saying that the emperor is rich all over the world, what do you want. There are so many treasures in this small Mengxian county, and the world is so big, how many good things must there be. Looking at the pile of treasures piled on the table, Li Yang couldn't help but exclaim, at this moment, he actually had a very absurd idea, that is, in the future, he really stepped into the official career, and he would be an official in charge of copying the house, and when the time came, hum......
On this day, the sky in Mengxian County was clear, and the streets were crowded with people, and several funeral teams in the city also went out together, blowing cheerful music.
"Get out of the way!" With a long shout, the procession of three prisoner vans slowly left the Mengxian prison and headed west of the city.
"Bell, bell, bell." The gong sounded three times, and the originally silent street was instantly plunged into a tsunami.
"Hit, kill the fat man!" One after another, rotten vegetable leaves fell from the sky on the prisoner car of the yellow fat man, although it would not hurt the muscles and bones, but I felt that it could make the yellow fat man, who was already paralyzed, embarrassed.
By the way, followed by Meng Xiancheng and the master who rarely showed up and was only responsible for bad ideas, they were also smashed dizzy, and by the time they were dragged out of the prison car at the execution ground, the whole person had fallen into a state of stupor.
Wang Zhifu was in charge of the punishment, Liu Shilang was beheaded, and Li Yang sat tremblingly on the prison beheading platform and covered his eyes and didn't dare to look. Chop off your head? It's terrible to think about it, and it's better to be hanged directly.
"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, slash!" Governor Wang raised his voice in an unusually serious voice, grabbed an arrow in front of him and threw it into the air.
Huang Zhixian, who was originally sluggish, was stunned, and looked up in a panic, but unfortunately there was no one in front of him, only the dazzling sunshine, and he only felt that his eyes were flowering, and he immediately became spinning, and there was a touch of blood red in the sky.
"Good!" Watching the fat head of the fat man roll to the ground, the people around him applauded.
Next is the county Cheng, and then the master who has been paralyzed on the ground, the three good heads rolled down to the ground one after another, causing the surrounding applause to join in, and the funeral team that had been waiting for a long time also blew a festive plague god. Today is the festival of Mengxian County.
Li Yang, who couldn't hide his curiosity, looked at the scene in front of him through his fingers, and felt a burst of excitement in his heart, this is the fate of corrupt officials, not only to be in a different place, but also to bear a thousand years of infamy.
As corrupt officials, the three of Huang Fatzi did not have such a good ending as being buried immediately, and the prefect Wang gave an order: The violent corpse is three days, and the people are resentful!
"Li Yang, go and say goodbye to the villagers." Liu Shilang looked at the dozen or so squires who came from Xinji Town, a hundred miles away, and said with a smile.
The inspection of the Yellow River is basically over, and all the things after Huang Zhixian are ambushed and all things are going smoothly, and the funds that originally made Liu Shilang toss and turn are also smoothly taken down, and all the future things are handed over to the abbot of Wang Zhifu, after all, he is a parent official, and it is his duty to recruit people to repair the river embankment.
And Li Yang's heroic performance in the flood fighting in Xinji Town was also firmly remembered by the people of Xinji Town, and these squires hurried to see them off after hearing that they were going to return to Beijing.
The benefactor is leaving, and the squire who came to see him off is naturally thankful and sorry for his farewell, not to mention a large number of local specialties.
Originally, Li Yang didn't want to accept it, after all, the Qing officials in ancient times didn't take a stitch from the people, but it was a pity that it was difficult to resist, and the prefect Wang persuaded him on the side, so he could only accept it in full, so it was okay, and on the way back, these more than 30 people used it to make dry food.
"Folks, the Xinjizhen dam is at the turning point of the Yellow River, and it is more dangerous than any other place. Please also go back and pay some money to hire a few people who are looking for the embankment, so that even if there is any unstoppable danger, the villagers can avoid it as soon as possible, and it is also a great merit for the benefit of the township at first sight. Li Yang had a flash of inspiration, and took this sentence as a parting gift, otherwise he would be embarrassed to accept so many things from others.
"What the benefactor said is very true, and the little old man will definitely do it when he goes back." The leading squire said with gratitude on his face, "Good people, they don't forget the safety of the villagers when they leave."
"Lord Liu, Li Yang, take care all the way." The prefect Wang, who was standing at the ferry, waved his arm and shouted, if they hadn't stabbed the matter of the fat man this time, the prefect wouldn't know how many subordinates he would have to suffer from in the capital.
"My lord, you can rest assured, hehe." Li Yang limped over to Liu Shilang and asked with a smile.
Liu Shilang smiled slightly, and said with some emotion: "Yes, a few years ago, because of this Huang Ren's obstruction, it was not enough to repair the river embankment for two years, and each time I could only repair the places that the official thought had to be repaired, and the rest that were not very serious could only be left for the second year." So every time I left and returned to Beijing, I was scared, for fear that I didn't take into account a big accident somewhere. ”
"Having said that, but this is not a long-term solution, according to the student's point of view, this kind of repair is only a symptom rather than a cure, and the adults must ask the imperial court to allocate a large sum of silver to renovate all these hundreds of miles of embankment, this is the way to do it once and for all." Li Yang suggested.
Although the imperial court is now short of silver everywhere, repairing the Yellow River embankment is a major event related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, even if other things are delayed because of this matter, it should be.
"It's not easy to say, after all, this official is just a small waiter, and he can only report this matter, and what to do depends on a few adults in the cabinet, in their eyes, there are many important things in the world than repairing the Yellow River embankment." Liu Shilang said with a wry smile, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government, and the entire court may be the only one in the court who thinks that this matter has more to do with than the sky.
Seeing Li Yang fall silent, Liu Shilang hurriedly smiled: "Don't talk about these disappointments, anyway, this repair is much better than the previous ones, and there should be no big problems in three years, let's take a step at a time, maybe when the treasury is abundant, the cabinet adults will put this matter on the agenda, hehe." ”
After a pause, Liu Shilang patted Li Yang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Li Yang, you have made great contributions to Xinji Town this time, I think Lord Lu will be very happy when he knows about it." ”
