[I'm sorry, I'm a little late. There is one more shift in the night. 】

Seeing that Zheng Xia didn't react, the old man was not discouraged, and in turn said to the businessman: "That is, the recent thing, there is an official in Tokyo City who guards the city gate, and the book says that today's drought and locust plague are all new laws, and he wants the official to abolish the new law and drive Wang Xianggong away." In fact, it is not a matter of fact, no matter which law it is, good or bad, you have to pay taxes. But he shouldn't have been, he shouldn't have lied to the Son of Heaven that it would rain if the new law was abolished, which was good, as soon as Xiao Han Zhixian saw the Son of Heaven, he exposed his lie.

This official also deserves to die, it is not enough to deceive the Son of Heaven, and he also said that Xiao Han Zhi County is not, and tens of thousands of displaced people have been harmed in Baima County. Come to think of it, what a joke this is?! The homeless people are going to set up a longevity tablet for Xiaohanzhi County, and there are even people who open their eyes and say nonsense, saying that they have harmed the homeless. Now I heard that the Son of Heaven saw everything and sent him to prison to punish him! …… It's called deserved! ”

The old man who sold tea was foaming at the mouth, and the old man came over and pulled Zheng Xia, "Official, let's go on the road." ”

Zheng Xia didn't move at all, he couldn't see joy or anger on his face, but his hand holding the soup bowl shook gently, he wanted to listen to what the old man had to say.

"Xiao Han Zhixian has never stopped every day since he came to Baima County. For the displaced people in Hebei, how many horses did Xiao Hanzhi County run? How many wells have been drilled in the county to cope with this drought? Now there are dozens of deep wells with windmills, all of which are called Han Lingjing, and they carry water out from morning to night, so they don't have to worry about drought for decades to come. Xiao Lao'er, the water that sells tea soup was brought out from Han Lingjing, which is dozens of zhang deep! Compared with the original well water, I don't know how much, in the past, alum had to use a pound a month, but now I don't need a penny! Think about how many coffins can be raised for the little old man! ”

Zheng Xia sat expressionlessly, and his heart was like the Qiantang River on August 18, with stormy waves constantly surging.

He could see from the old man selling tea that the people of Baima County really worshiped Han Gang.

Could it be that he really misunderstood Han Gang?

No!

Zheng Xia immediately denied it in his heart.

Before Wang Anshi was in Xining, didn't he have thirty years of heavy hope? Before Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, wasn't everyone praised it? Han Gang's current performance is just a copy of his father-in-law's back then, and when he succeeds in the future, the world will suffer from others.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xia's face was solemn.

The world is suffering from the new law, but Han Gang does not stop it, but instead aids in the abuse. No matter how well he does in Baima County, it's just a small favor!

Looking at the old man in the tea shed who was foaming at the mouth, there was pity in his eyes. The townsfolk are not knowledgeable enough and do not have a long-term vision, so they will be deceived by traitors.

After resting enough, Zheng Xia was ready to set off after meeting the money, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves, and a team of people rushed from the official road in the north.

As soon as he saw someone from afar, Zheng Xia's body froze, and the old man in the tea shed stretched his neck and looked around: "Oh, it's the second yamen of Wang Xianggong's house!" ”

"In the second office of the prince's family?" The Hebei merchant was shocked when he heard this, and looked over: "Why did the Yanai of the Xianggong family come here?" ”

"Wang Eryanei is also a good person, and he has a hand for Xiao Hanzhi County, and he supervises the well water and ditches in the county. Now there are dozens of rice exchange points in the county, and Xiao Hanzhi County also sends people to supervise every day. Two days ago, that is, Wang Eryan came. Watching by him, who do you say dares to deduct half a point? ”

The Hebei merchant nodded heavily: "In this way, Wang Er Yanei is also a good official. ”

"Wang Xianggong also did bad things with good intentions, and deceived the people below, I heard that Xiao Han Zhixian also persuaded him. Think about the time when Xiao Han Zhixian came to Baima, didn't everyone outside say that it was because of the quarrel between Weng and his son-in-law? ”

The old man of the tea shed and the merchant were talking, and the king got off the horse at the rice exchange point, and the official who presided over the rice exchange greeted him and nodded, and the villagers in line also saluted together and greeted each other one by one.

The king's retinue also dismounted, and a few of them were in charge of guarding, and their eyes looked around, and at a glance they spotted the stagecoaches and carriages parked outside the teashed. The horses and carriages that belong to the post house are easy to distinguish.

When officials cross the border, Yu Li will receive them. The man hurriedly went to Wang's side and said a word, and Wangbian immediately walked over, and when he got to the outside of the tea shed, he asked, "Which official is going north to cross the river?" ”

Zheng Xia stood up silently.

Standing under the sun, the people and things in the shade under the tea shed were a little blurry, Wang squinted his eyes, and after several glances, he saw that it was Zheng Xia. exclaimed: "Zheng Jiefu?! ”

Zheng Xia bowed and said coldly to his old acquaintance in the past: "Yanei, Zheng Xia is polite." It's just that he wears a sinful body, and it is inconvenient to see him in the ya. ”

The king's mouth opened and he was about to speak. I heard another person jumping up under the tea shed, "You are the criminal official who said nonsense that Xiao Han Zhi County harmed the homeless?!" ”

The old man in the tea shed jumped up, picked up the pu kui fan and waved it out: "Go, go, go, I won't charge you for tea, the little old man, this broken tea shed can't wait for Zheng Guanren, your big Buddha!" ”

"Don't be rude!" Wang Bi and the old man hurriedly shouted together.

The old man in the tea shed stiffened his neck: "In the second ya, the little old man in your officialdom doesn't know the way, but if you say bad things about Xiao Han Zhixian, the little old man can't afford to wait." Don't say that the little old man is rude, the news of Zheng Guanren's crossing is out, let's see how many people will be polite! ”

Zheng Xia's face turned pale, and Wang was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. And the Hebei merchants clapped their hands behind for fear that the world would not be chaotic: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, and there are still righteous people in the countryside!" ”

……………………

An hour later, Wang Pan had reached the bottom of the embankment by the Yellow River, and saw a group of people standing tall and low on the towering embankment. The tall Han Gang is the most conspicuous among them.

Handing over the horse to the attaché who greeted him, Wang Bin hurried up the embankment, greeted Fang Xing, who was reporting to Han Gang, and went straight to Han Gang's side, asking, "Yukun, who do you guess I just met?" ”

Han Gang looked at the construction site in the distance and did not move, and replied casually: "Zheng Xia? ”

"Uh......" Wang was stunned for a moment, and then woke up again: "Is it the letter of the eldest brother?" ”

"Except for Yuan Ze, where else can you hear it?" Han Gang looked back and smiled. Wang Yan wrote a letter two days ago about Zheng Xia. The verdict of the editor of Enju was also written in the letter.

To go to Enzhou, of course, you have to pass through Hakuba County. Although he can also cross the river from Puyang, Zheng Xia is a criminal official who is being escorted, so what reason can make him take a detour and waste public money?

"Yukun, I have already settled his wife in the post house in the county." The king said, and then tentatively proposed, "Would you like to see him?" ”

When Fang Xing heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and came up and smiled: "Mention it, it's better to see him." Treat Cheng Yi with heavy gifts and give Cheng Yi a good reputation outside! ”

Han Gang glanced at Fang Xing, the smile on his face looked like a treacherous smile.

"See what? Do you smile when you meet? Han Gang shook his head. He didn't have the heart to beat the water dogs, but he was not interested in showing the so-called magnanimity, "It's meaningless, why should it be like this." Good life is in the inn, and tomorrow's gift will be sent out. ”

Although it is said that Zheng Xia is deceitful and deceitful, Han Gang, as a party concerned, will not think so, the rain should be just a coincidence, and Zheng Xia does not have the ability to predict.

And from the mouths of Wang Anshi's father and son, Han Gang also understood Zheng Xia's personality a little. Even if this happened, the two brothers did not change their evaluation of Zheng Xia; Similarly, compared with the renegade Zeng Bu, Wang Anshi has no hatred for Zheng Xia, after all, Zheng Xia's attitude towards the new law has always been consistent, not to mention that Zheng Xia has already eaten the bitter fruit.

For Zheng Xia, Han Gang had no intention of pretending to be a gesture with a heart of schadenfreude, which would be a loss of identity. And even if you can blind people outside, can you fool Zheng Xia himself? What if he jumped into the Yellow River in a fit of rage? - Han Gang cherishes his reputation very much, but he doesn't want to see such a thing happen. At the same time, Han Gang didn't have the heart to make friends with him, the biggest problem of such a gentleman was stubbornness, and he didn't have to be angry when he went to see him. Staying away is the best choice.

Since Han Gang refused to meet Zheng Xia, Wang Bei had no choice, and Fang Xing could only accept his thoughts. With Han Gang, he looked at the construction sites around him.

In the summer, the Yellow River is still not abundant, but flows in the center of the riverbed, and the beaches vacated on the north and south sides are much wider than the river surface. Just on the edge of the Yellow River to the south, tens of thousands of people cover the towering embankment like ants.

For the Baili embankment in Baima County alone, Han Gang mobilized tens of thousands of people recruited from the displaced people to increase the height and consolidate the embankment. Ding Zhuang went to the embankment to work, while the old and young in the family went out to catch locusts for rice. For many families, at the end of the day, they can still save twenty or thirty yuan, and if it can last for two or three months, for the displaced people who have left their hometowns, they can save a sum of money to survive the famine year.

The sound of trumpets echoed across the river, and the stakes were lifted and then dropped heavily, and the embankment became stronger and stronger under the ramming of the river.

Fang Xing pointed to the construction site and said, "The people who went to the embankment today have a total of one hundred and forty-six groups and ten thousand four hundred and twenty-one people. Ninety-six people complained of illness, plus 17 people who were injured and sent to the hospital yesterday, which is comparable to the number reported by the nursing home. In addition, four people who escaped were reported, and their names had already been reported, and someone had been sent to the security armor where the four people were located to investigate. ”

Fang Xing has been by Han Gang's side for more than half a year, and Han Gang is very concerned about the details in the implementation, and when he reports it, he just tirelessly talks about the numbers. Han Gang has said many times that the so-called 'focus on the big picture and don't have time for details' is a good thing to say to the outside. If you really do things, you can see whether you are attentive or not from the details.

It took Fang Xing about a quarter of an hour, plus half an hour before Wang came up, to pick up the key points of the work to be reported today and tell Han Gang about it.
