Chapter 13 Rotten Wood Can't Be Carved (Part 3...
As for how to deal with the robbery of the water bandits, Li Yuntian has already thought of a countermeasure of "putting them to death and resurrecting them", and if he succeeds, he will be able to change the current passive situation. The update is the fastest and most stable, the eye > fast, a large number of novels are free to read.
When he arrived at the wharf, he realized how severe the fire was last night, and more than 100 houses near the wharf were burned.
The flames had now been extinguished, the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning, and the people who had been caught by the fire looked dazed and searched for useful items in the ruins of their homes.
Many women sat on the ground and cried, and after a fire, their homes were gone, and they didn't know how to live their lives in the future.
"Sir, we have nothing, you have to call the shots for us."
"Lord County, how can we live in the future."
"My girl was robbed by those bandits, you have to save her, master."
……
Knowing that Li Yuntian was coming, the people affected by the disaster gathered around him, knelt on the ground in black pressure, and cried to him.
"Rest assured, this county will definitely settle down your life." Li Yuntian stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and after everyone quieted down, he said loudly, "This county promises you that it will definitely bring that gang of water bandits to justice and repay the blood debt." ”
With his words, the people's feelings suddenly stabilized a lot, and they went to register their respective disasters according to Li Yuntian's request.
"Zhang Gong, are there really only two people dead?" After walking around the burned ruins, Li Yuntian stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Youcai, and asked suspiciously.
"Now the situation is chaotic, and the villain doesn't know the specific shape." Zhang Youcai replied a little embarrassed, since Li Yuntian had already come to the scene, it was obviously not suitable to talk about it anymore.
"Luo Bantou, you ask people to go down and count them, and see how many people have been affected, how many people have been killed and injured, and how many have been taken captive." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, stared at Luo Ming with a stern expression and said, "This official wants to know the real situation!" ”
Luo Ming saw that Li Yuntian didn't seem to be joking, so he arched his hand at him and led people to do statistics in a hurry.
Zhang Youcai looked at Chen Bozhao with a wry smile, it seems that he just let the corpses on the dock be transferred away, who would have thought that the county master would be so serious.
Chen Bozhao also looked helpless, this should have been a very tacit thing, but it turned out to be like this. The update is the fastest and most stable
However, the two of them were immediately relieved, which is actually quite good, and when Li Yuntian knows the severity of this incident, he is afraid that he will rely on them even more.
After all, no official wants such a serious incident to happen during his tenure, which will have a serious impact on his future career.
"This bastard has made such a big fuss, he just doesn't know whether to live or die!" At noon, Zhang Youde finally learned the news of Baishui Town, and was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground with a bang.
According to preliminary statistics, Baishui Town burned down a total of 116 houses, killed 21 people, and plundered 15 young women.
Zhang Youde found that he had made a mistake, he not only underestimated Wang San's greed and arrogance, but also ignored the **** of the wealthy Baishui Town to the water bandits, which made things so unbearable.
"Uncle Zhang, what should I do next?" Feng Hu, who was standing on the side, asked in a deep voice.
"Inform Wang San, tell him that the matter is big, and let him prepare the person on his back, otherwise he will wait for the court to clean him up!" Zhang Youde paced back and forth in the room a few times and said gloomily.
Contrary to Zhang Youcai and Chen Bozhao, the town of Baishui is an important cargo wharf with many merchants coming and going every day, saying that the number of people killed and the women who were taken away last night is easy to solve, and they can hide it and report as many as they want.
But the burned houses are clear at a glance and cannot be concealed, and they will definitely pass through the mouths of those merchants, which will bring great pressure to Hukou County and Jiujiang Prefecture.
Therefore, if we want to calm down this matter, we must find a group of water bandits to be "substitutes for the dead ghosts", so that Hukou County and Jiujiang Mansion can hand over to the top, otherwise both sides will not want to live a stable life.
In the afternoon of the next day, Han Anyu, the governor of Jiujiang Mansion, rushed to Baishui Town, and Li Yuntian led Wang Yu and Zhao Lang and other officials of the government to meet each other at the entrance of the town.
The government learned the news of the accident in Baishui Town last night, and the prefect Yang Demin was taken aback by this, and hurriedly arranged for Han Anyu to investigate.
By this time, the losses and casualties in Whitewater had been thoroughly counted, 116 houses were burned, 22 people died, and 15 young women were taken captive.
Due to the aggravation of the injuries, one seriously injured person died last night, which brought the death toll up to 22.
Han Anyu is in her forties, with a medium build, white face and beard, and looks very elegant.
When he saw the casualty statistics, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he never expected that Li Yuntian would truthfully report the number of deaths.
You must know that the more deaths Li Yuntian faces, the greater the trouble, and it also makes the government more passive, it seems that Li Yuntian is still too young to know how to be an official.
What made him especially laugh and cry was that Li Yuntian actually confessed to him that when he confronted the water bandits that night, he was thrown out by a human head thrown by the water bandits, which disturbed the square inch, so that he fainted in anger, so that everyone failed to start a war with the water bandits in order to save him, and then delayed the best time to exterminate the water bandits.
This is simply self-defeating, and it is too late for others to hide it, but he poured it out in one go, and became a handle for others to attack him.
For a while, Han Anyu really didn't know what to say, could it be that Li Yuntian's brain was stupid to read? He just made up a story about the heroic battle with the water bandits, at least he could exonerate him, and he could give it to the peak.
Facing the situation in front of him, Han Anyu couldn't help but feel a headache, the water bandit robbery incident in Baishui Town was not only a matter of Hukou County, but also Jiujiang Mansion.
If this matter is reported to the imperial court as Li Yuntian said, then those officials in the imperial court who are full of food and have nothing to do will definitely seize this opportunity to attack them en masse, and the officials of Jiujiang Prefecture and Hukou County will suffer, at least it is also a crime of "ineffective governance", and some people will lose their official positions and be dismissed because of this.
This is also an important reason why Zhang Youcai and Chen Bozhao dared to "turn big things into small things and small things into small things", the two knew very well that the people in the government did not want this matter to make a big fuss, so they boldly concealed the inside information and wanted to profit from it.
Han Anyu can understand Li Yuntian's "stupidity", thinking that he was also a two-list jinshi back then, when he first entered the officialdom, he was like Li Yuntian with the same enthusiasm as serving the country, and he didn't know the sinister nature of officialdom at all, let alone the way of being an official.
Therefore, Han Anyu put his mind down and reminded Li Yuntian sideways, euphemistically warning him that the bigger the trouble in Baishui Town, the more detrimental it would be to his career, and asked him to carefully check the disaster situation and then report the statistical results.
As Li Yuntian's top boss, Han Anyu is straightforward enough to say this, he can't explicitly say that Li Yuntian will revise the number of disasters, in that case, he will have to be put into it.
Some things in officialdom can only be understood, not spoken, and both sides know it.
Li Yuntian listened to Han Anyu's words and left with the statistics, just when Han Anyu thought that Li Yuntian had "opened his mind", he took the statistics again that night and asked for a meeting, telling him that the statistical results were not bad, which was completely correct.
"Rotten wood can't be carved!" Han Anyu didn't expect that he would encounter an elm pimple, so he snorted coldly in anger and walked away, leaving Li Yuntian there.
Since Li Yuntian is so ignorant, then don't blame him for ignoring the friendship of his colleagues and putting the blame on Li Yuntian.
Looking at Han Anyu who was leaving with a pale face, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, he knew Han Anyu's thoughts, and he was not afraid that Han Anyu would put the charge on him at all.
Anyway, he is just a newcomer to the county, and it has been less than three months since he came to Hukou County, even if something big happens in Hukou County, how much can he have to do with it? That's why he decided to get this thing out.
Under Li Yuntian's attention, the Zhang family, the Chen family, and other big families in Baishui Town set an example one after another, and properly resettled the four or five hundred residents who had lost their homes in their homes, so that they would not sleep on the streets.
Wang Yu, Zhao Lang and Zhang Youde and other county officials almost all went to Baishui Town for disaster relief, Zhao Lang's face was not very good, and his feelings were low, while Wang Yu looked indifferent, still squinting, and couldn't see any changes in his feelings.
Zhao Lang now hates Wang San's gang of bandits, and he has done such a big case, as the number three person in the county government, he will definitely be implicated, leaving an ugly stain on his resume, which has become an obstacle to his promotion.
And Wang Yu should have reached the age of Zhishi, so he was not afraid of being punished by the imperial court, and it was just a big deal to lose his official position and resign.
On this day, when Li Yuntian left the disaster relief site, it was already late at night, and he returned to Chen's house with a tired expression.
"Lord County, be gracious, let us be in charge!" When he was about to arrive at Chen's house, a middle-aged woman with an obese figure suddenly led a group of people to rush out from the dark place of the street on the side, and knelt in front of him with a plop.
Seeing this, Luo Ming, who was beside Li Yuntian, brushed out his waist knife and protected it in front of Li Yuntian, and asked his servants to surround those people.
