Chapter 306: Building the Embankment (Three Watches)

The rain mixed with the cold wind was coming, and the curtains were blown out.

Yu Jiao and Liu Sanniang grabbed the corner of the car curtain and pressed it hard to block the rainwater from pouring in.

Yu Qizhen drove the horse faster and galloped towards the city.

In Tanzhou, Xiangyuan rained down, and the rain poured like an injection.

Gu Yun rode alone, holding a long sword, and rushed straight into the state capital station.

Seeing that he was full of murderous energy, the officials at the post station were so frightened that they hurried in to report it.

Gu Yunfei dismounted, he was drenched, his wet hair was messy, and he was embarrassed, but he couldn't stop the anger all over his body.

The usual pampering and unruly manners are all gone, and the handsome and flamboyant face is replaced by a cold and fierce face that is extremely annoyed.

"Where is Zhou Fang?" Gu Yun held the sword, his voice was cold, and he strode into the post station.

Zhou Fang, who had already received the report from his subordinates, put on his clothes in a panic, and as soon as he opened the door, a sword with a cold light slashed horizontally in front of him.

Zhou Fang was so frightened that he trembled, the tip of the sword was only an inch away from his throat, and he said in a trembling voice, "Gu Xiaohou Ye, you have something to say, the lower official is the official of the imperial court, although you are the little marquis, but the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and he killed the imperial court official for no reason, but he will be investigated and dealt with by the emperor." ”

Gu Yun was full of murderous aura, staring at Zhou Fang coldly, raised his wrist, and slashed down his shoulder.

Zhou Fang screamed in pain, and when he saw the blood flowing from his arm, he exclaimed, "Gu Xiaohou, you...... Come on, protect me! ”

Gu Yun's scarlet eyes swept towards the officials who were about to move, and the people who were stared at by him shivered fiercely and didn't dare to step forward.

"Dog officer!" Gu Yun kicked Zhou Fang to his knees, lifted his collar and dragged him out.

Zhou Fang's subordinates watched this scene and hesitated to follow.

Dragging people to the lobby on the first floor, Gu Yun put the cold sword on his neck and asked sharply, "What about the silver taels that the imperial court set aside to clear the dredging and build the embankment?" Move them all out now, or I'll kill your dog!" ”

A bloody mark was suddenly drawn on his neck, Zhou Fang didn't dare to play sloppy anymore, looked at the terrifying long sword, and said tremblingly, "Quick, go and move the silver two!" ”

The official who followed Zhou Fang hurriedly moved all the silver and silver, and five heavy wooden boxes were placed in front of Gu Yun, Gu Yun said coldly, "Open!" ”

Cheng Li Si, who came to the Xiangyuan River with Zhou Fang to dredge and build embankments, glanced at Zhou Fang with a weak heart, and did not dare to open the box at all.

Gu Yun raised his sword and slashed at Zhou Fang's ear.

Zhou Fang only felt a chill in his ears, a bloody object rolled down on the ground, and warm blood gushed out on the right side of his face, and he screamed and groaned in pain after realizing it, "Ah...... Yes...... My ears ......"

"Open!" Gu Yun's face was gloomy and he shouted loudly.

An official errand was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Yun to act so ruthlessly.

Li Si's face turned pale and his hands trembled and opened all five boxes.

Gu Yun swept towards the five boxes of official silver, and lifted the neatly arranged silver on top, revealing the stones below.

Li Si looked at this scene, and shouted in his heart, his feet were weak, and he fell to his knees!

Gu Yun flipped over the five boxes one by one, his face was cold, the five boxes were the same, with a layer of official silver on top, and all the boxes were filled with stones below.

Zhou Fang dragged on and refused to use the official money to build the embankment of the Xiangyuan River, and he and Ziqi guessed that there must be a problem with the official silver, but they didn't expect Zhou Fang to be so bold and swallow only so little of the official silver allocated by the imperial court.

Ordered someone to dump the stones in the box, and put the official silver of the five boxes in one box, Gu Yun lifted Zhou Fang, who was still wailing on the ground, and said fiercely, "If you don't have the silver, you will personally repair the embankment for me, if you can't block the embankment, you will use your corpse to build the embankment!" ”

"The silver is not greedy for the lower officials, Gu Xiaohou, you spare the lives of the lower officials, and the lower officials will let people repair the river embankment......" Zhou Fang took care of his ears that could not be cut off, and begged for mercy in fear.

Gu Yun sneered, a few days ago, there was still time to build an embankment and repair the dam, Zhou Fang, the dog official, delayed several times, the prefect of Tanzhou did not act, and Zhou Fang was in collusion, now the torrential rain is pouring, the water level of the river is rising, if you can't stop the flood flow from the upper reaches of Lanzhou, several state capitals downstream will be flooded.

It's not a pity that this dog official died!

Gu Yun ordered someone to carry the silver up, and glanced at everyone in the house, "If you don't want to die, let me go to the river to build a dam!" ”

All the officials who came from Beijing with Zhou Fang were pale and hurriedly followed.

Beside the river, dozens of men summoned by the government were carrying heavy sandbags on their backs to fill the embankment, and the water level in the river had reached their thighs.

These were all coerced by the Tanzhou prefect to come to do hard labor, busy from morning to night by the river embankment, tired and tired, not to mention that they had never received a penny, and the government could not even take care of their meals.

Gu Yun and Liu Ziqi have all seen it in their eyes in the past few days when they came from Lanzhou, but the two of them have no imperial order, and they can't control the officials in Tanzhou at all, Liu Ziqi has no official status, although Gu Yun holds the title of Gu Xiaohou, it is not easy to do it in this place where the yang is against the yin.

With such a ferocity under the rain today, Gu Yun was forced to have nothing to do, so he rushed into the post station with a knife, he originally wanted to directly cut Zhou Fang's dog official, but was persuaded by Liu Ziqi.
