Chapter 078: The Matter of the River Embankment

Hearing Wu Jingui's words, Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay!" I don't know what I thought, and said: "This official is still a little worried!" Let's go, take the official to the Nanqu River to have a look! ”

Qin Xuan wanted to go out as soon as he spoke, but Qian Ruyu behind him hurriedly said, "Brother Xuan, you have to be careful!" And also...... Wear a dress! ”

Qin Xuan glanced back at Qian Ruyu, nodded, and said softly, "Got it!" Yu'er, you have a good rest, I'll go back when I go! ”

The road was gray, and the sound of rain kept knocking on Qin Xuan and the others' clothes, but it did not affect the pace of Qin Xuan and the others at all.

Qin Xuan buried his head and walked forward, but he kept slandering in his heart: What is this called! Jiang Kejin's matter has not been dealt with yet, and the matter of the river embankment collapse has been stalled! Ah, what a hard worker......

About half a moment later, Qin Xuan and the others finally arrived at Nanqu River. Qin Xuan looked at it extremely much, the Nanqu River was running east-west, the embankment on the south bank had been missing a few zhang long opening, and a large area of fields on the south bank had been flooded by the river water nearly a foot high.

Turning his gaze to the north bank, Qin Xuan was more relieved, the river embankment on the north bank was intact, and while stepping on the muddy land, he said softly: "The river bank on the north bank is fine, it's really a blessing, otherwise the thousands of acres of farmland on the north bank will also suffer......

Wu Jingui, who was behind him, heard this, snorted coldly, and casually continued: "Yes, there is nothing wrong on the north shore!" If there is something, the adults are busy, maybe how Jiang Kejin will be entangled with the adults? ”

Qin Xuan frowned unconsciously, stopped in confusion, turned his head to look at Wu Jingui, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the river embankment on the north bank, and what does it have to do with him Jiang Kejin?" ”

Wu Jingui said very casually: "Because the farmland on the north bank belongs to the Jiang family!" ”

Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly, turned his head and walked forward, muttering in his mouth: "It's also him Jiang Kejin's good life, the north bank embankment is fine!" Looking at the Nanqu River for a few moments, Qin Xuan chatted again: "Look at it, the obvious north bank embankment is thinner than the south bank embankment, but I didn't expect that the south bank embankment was washed away!" ”

When Wu Jingui heard this, he sneered a few times, but did not speak, but shook his head.

The Nanqu River is in the south of the county seat, so Qin Xuan and the others walked for a long time, and finally arrived at the north bank of the Nanqu River, Qin Xuan looked at the turbid river in front of him, and sighed unconsciously: "This is a natural disaster!" ”

Suddenly, Qin Xuan vaguely saw that there seemed to be a group of people on the slope of the south bank, stretched out his hand, and said, "Take a look, is there someone on the slope of the south bank?" Is it trapped in the mountains? ”

Wu Jingui, Li Qingrui, and Xing Honglin behind him looked at Qin Xuan.

Li Qingrui nodded and said, "Childe, there are indeed people, it seems that there are quite a few, about forty or fifty people!" ”

Xing Honglin echoed: "Well, yes, my lord, there are indeed dozens of people on the hillside!" ”

Wu Jingui glanced at it casually, thought for a while, and said: "I'm afraid it's the people of Baojia Village!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then asked, "The people of Baojia Village?" ”

"Yes, next to the hillside is Baojia Village, and the flooded fields are also from Baojia Village, so I secretly guess that it should be the people of Baojia Village!"

"Let's go! Go around and ask about the situation! ”

When Wu Jingui heard Qin Xuan's words, he blurted out: "My lord, there is no transition bridge in the river at this moment, if you want to go to the south bank, you have to walk a lot of distance!" ”

"Then I have to go, but I don't go over to take a look, this official is not at ease!"

After Qin Xuan and the others bypassed for a long time, they rushed to the south bank of the Nanqu River, and sure enough, they saw a group of people, staring at the flooded fields in front of them with grief! What's more, they fell on the ground and wept. "How do you live these days......"

Qin Xuan swallowed and spit, took a few steps forward, walked in front of the people, and shouted: "Fellow villagers, I am Qin Xuan, the county commander of this county, and this official already knows about this matter, and will definitely help everyone get through the difficulties!" ”

The people, who were already a little confused, heard Qin Xuan's words, and knelt in the muddy water in unison, crying one after another.

"My lord, this farmland is flooded, how can I live!"

"Your Excellency, you must help us!"

"Adult ......"

Looking at the people affected by the disaster in front of him, hearing such a pleading, Qin Xuan unconsciously choked up a little and coughed lightly. "Quick, help everyone up!" As he spoke, he stepped forward to help the nearest citizen.

An old man about seventy years old walked up to Qin Xuan tremblingly and cried, "Lord Qin, you must help me wait!" ”

Qin Xuan stretched out his hand to support the old man, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, where do you speak, as a parent official, this official will definitely find a way for everyone!" Hurry up and let everyone go back first, if it rains like this, if you get sick again, how can it be good! ”

"My lord, the little old man is the village of the village, since the adult has promised to help me and wait, I will tell everyone to go back!" After the old man finished speaking, he turned to the villagers and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, Lord Qin has made a promise to Xiao Lao'er that he will definitely help us, so everyone will go home first......

Qin Xuan also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, everyone hurry back, since the official already knows, he will definitely not ignore it!" ”

Qin Xuan talked to the village for a long time before the villagers reluctantly turned around and left.

Qin Xuan saw that the village Zheng beside him was still unmoving, and said with concern: "Uncle, you are old, go back quickly, the official will look around for the situation, and he will find a way!" ”

Mura Zheng said tremblingly: "Lord Qin, can you go to the little old man's house to sit down, the little old man has some confidant things to say to you!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he said without thinking: "Since this is the case, then the official will go to the village to disturb him!" ”

After walking about half a mile to the east, Qin Xuan and the others saw a dilapidated village. Looking at the somewhat miserable houses on the side of the road, Qin Xuan couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: I didn't expect that there would be such a poor village in such a rich place as Yuhang.

After walking a few dozen steps, you will come to a simple courtyard, a door tied with tree branches, and three houses with some leaks. There was really no way, Qin Xuan and the others were arranged to sit down on the edge of the kang.

Taking a bowl of hot water from Murazheng's son, Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, before the official came to Yuhang, he heard that Hangzhou was rich, and when he arrived in Yuhang, he also inspected everywhere, most of the villages are not bad, why is Baojia Village so poor?" ”

Mura Zheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, sighed, and said: "That is, our Baojia Village is so hard, and other villages are not much better than this!" ”

Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked, "Oh? Why is that? ”

"Every year to repair the river embankment, the village still has to raise money, how can it not be hard?"

Qin Xuan looked at Murazheng's somewhat helpless expression, and when he heard such excited words, he frowned and asked, "Isn't it the government's business to repair the river embankment?" Why do you still raise money from the people? ”

Mura Zheng glanced up at Qin Xuan and sighed: "It's a matter of the government, but if I don't raise some money, who will care if I live or die!" ”

Qin Xuan put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, such a dog official, it's really not a thing!" ”

Qin Xuan's words made the village a little surprised, and he stared at Qin Xuan for a long time before saying: "I really don't know when this river embankment will have to be repaired, every year, the people of Baojia Village don't know how much they have moved away, and if it continues like this, a good village will be empty!" ”

Qin Xuan suddenly remembered the matter of repairing the river embankment every year, and asked: "If the government collects money from the people, won't it build a good river embankment at one time?" ”

"Fix it all at once? My lord is really joking, if it is repaired once, where will Jiang Ke go in to make money? Muramasa shook his head and said casually.

When Qin Xuan heard this, he immediately fell into doubt, and blurted out: "What does it have to do with Jiang Kejin?" ”

Muramasa paused for a long time, and then asked, "Didn't you notice that the embankment on the north bank was not washed away by the river?" ”

Qin Xuan nodded and said, "The river embankment on the south bank has been washed away, so naturally it will not collapse on the north bank again!" ”

Mura Zheng waved his hand and said: "In previous years, Jiang Kejin presided over the repair of the embankment, but the embankment on the opposite bank has never been repaired since it was completed, but it is still fine!" Only our river embankment on the south bank is repaired every year, but I didn't expect it to be washed away without repairing it this year! ”

Qin Xuan finally understood, gritted his teeth and said, "It must be Jiang Kejin who has done something!" ”

"Yes, the little old man thinks the same way! So please come to your home, so that you can talk to the adults and say, can you repair the river embankment well, just like the north bank, we Baojia villagers, even if we suffer some hardships, as long as we can be safe and sound in the future, then it will work! ”

Qin Xuan looked at the earnest words of the village Zheng, exhaled deeply, and nodded: "Don't worry, uncle, when the rain stops, this official will lead everyone to repair the river embankment, and it will definitely not be worse than the north bank!" ”

When Mura Zheng heard this, he was about to kneel down and thank him excitedly, but Qin Xuan hurriedly supported him and said, "Uncle, you don't have to be like this, this is what this official should do!" ”

Returning home from Baojia Village, Qin Xuan had a bad anger in his heart, which had not been eliminated, and he walked to the study angrily, threw the clothes on his body to the door, and scolded: "Jiang Kejin is here, I didn't expect to do such evil things, this time, I must clean him up!" ”

Li Qingrui, who was on the side, thought for a moment and said, "What is the son going to do?" Jiang Kejin helps Baojia Village repair the river embankment every year, which is a good deed in the eyes of outsiders! What's more, this year, because of the son, Jiang Kejin left the government and did not help repair the river embankment, and there was a big flood flooding of the fields! Doesn't it show that what Jiang Kejin did before was for the people? ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he suddenly fell into contemplation, and after a long time, he said sharply: "So what, the two embankments in the north and south were repaired by him Jiang Kejin, why has the north bank been fine?" Why does the South Bank have to be repaired every year? Why did it collapse in one rush? ”

Li Qingrui listened to Qin Xuan's inquiries one by one, shook his head slightly, and said: "Childe, I also know this, but you must find evidence to prove that Jiang Kejin did it, otherwise who will understand the people of Yuhang except for the villagers of Baojia Village?" ”
