Chapter 205: Opportunity
Over there, Xu Chenlong interrogated Zhu Feng, and Xiao Wei stood not far away, these two people have always been reliable in doing things, and the county officials didn't want to join in the fun, so they simply took other matters to be dealt with and reviewed them on the wooden table on the side.
Originally, Qingyuan City had lived and worked in peace and contentment for so many years, and there were very few natural and man-made disasters. It's just that there have been many heavy rains in the dog days this year, the water level has risen sharply, and several river dams have burst one after another, and Qingyuan City near the mouth of the river has naturally suffered. But fortunately, Hou Yi was there before, and the matter was handled in a timely and proper manner, and the flood problem was quickly solved.
But after all, it was not half a loss, many houses near the gate of Qingyuan City were washed away by the flood, and the granaries were flooded. Many residents have no money to repair their houses, so they still live in inns or with relatives.
If the people's livelihood is good, the county officials can have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune. At that time, some silver taels were allocated from above, and the county officials and others began to deal with this kind of problem.
It's just that there was another incident between Yun Geng Geng and Black Tiger Village in the middle, and this is the backlog until now, and now Xiao Wei, Xu Chenlong and others have helped to end Black Tiger Village. The county magistrate must deal with these trivial incidents as soon as possible, and if it ferments for some more time, it will be really difficult to handle.
The county magistrate sighed deeply, and the busy one was a burnt man.
When Yun Genggeng and Si Linche arrived, the county magistrate had just put down the brush that had been approved, and his hands were numb, so he got up and greeted the two. Yun Geng was worried about Zhu Feng's affairs, but he couldn't disturb Xu Chenlong, the two glanced at each other, so they had to sit down at the door of the prison with the county official and drink tea.
Yun Genggen was a little curious about the appearance of this dungeon, walked two steps over, and just wanted to take a look, when he was suddenly startled by the wails coming from inside.
Si Linche hurriedly pulled her back, and then heard the county official say on the side: "Those who have killed people and set fires, and those who have committed the most heinous crimes, are all here, and there is no light in the prison, they can't go out again in this life, and it's not strange that some are crazy."
Yun Genggen looked back at the county official again, and sure enough, his face did not change, obviously he had long been used to it, and it was not surprising.
Idle is also idle, Yun Geng simply chatted: "My lord, those death row prisoners, do any relatives come to visit on weekdays?"
The county magistrate shook his head and said with a smile: "There are not many of these people who have married wives, and even fewer have children.
Si Linche drank the tea in silence, rubbed the teacup, and asked the county official: "When will the matter of Black Tiger Village be closed?"
The county magistrate shook his head, pointed to Xiao Wei in the distance, and said, "The follow-up matter of the Black Tiger Village, Lord Zhang has been handed over to Lord Xiao Wei Xiao to deal with, and in the future, Si Gongzi only needs to go to Lord Xiao to ask."
Si Linche responded, but frowned. It stands to reason that the matter of Black Tiger Village should be managed by the county officials, and Xiao Wei just came over to cooperate with Xu Chenlong at that time. Xiao Wei is an official of the imperial court, and he has made more friends than county officials. If this case is handed over to him, does it mean that something should not be known to the county magistrate, so Xiao Wei has to intervene?
Si Linche turned his head to look at Xiao Wei, if it was widespread, then it would not be a good practice to hand it over to him.
Seeing Si Linche staring at his case file in a daze, the county magistrate thought that he was also thinking about these trivial things after the flood, and couldn't help but appreciate Si Linche a little more, explaining: "These things were reported earlier, but they were just busy with other things, so they have been backlogged for so long."
As he spoke, he took out another volume of the list, and counted it to Si Linche very enthusiastically: "Si Gongzi, please see, what has not been rebuilt now are some remote villages, and there are not many people living there.
"The Si family is the lintel of my Qingyuan City, I don't know if I plan to participate in these reconstructions?"
The county magistrate's question is not provocative, and the implication is just that he hopes that the Si family will donate a sum of money. Si Linche naturally understood, and before he could answer, he heard the county official say again: "Actually, Si Wenyuan came the day before yesterday, saying that he had prepared tile materials and craftsmen, etc., and he could start construction immediately."
"But after being in contact with Si Gongzi for so long, this official is still more optimistic about Si Gongzi, Si Wenyuan is a businessman, only trying to make profits, and his style of action is far less than that of Si Gongzi, if something happens in the future, I am afraid that I will bite the official back."
The county magistrate smiled helplessly: "Besides, most of the things you sent during the flood were Si Gongzi, and Si Wenyuan just threw two bags of rice over, and it was not enough to give the people porridge once, so the official refused him, and wanted to ask Si Gongzi what you think."
Si Linche nodded, the county officials were very busy with Yun Geng's affairs, so he naturally knew that the Si family should give the yamen some help. Besides, isn't it because the Si family can make their business bigger and bigger in Qingyuan City? Either way, it never hurts.
"Naturally," Si Linche said with a smile, "I will do my best."
"That couldn't be better." The county magistrate laughed and said.
After speaking, Si Linche got up and took a pen and ink at the table. The government has the rules of the government, and if someone asks for the family, they must write down the note first. With this certificate, no matter when the time comes, it can be carried out according to the document.
"Your Excellency only needs to ask someone to go to our house with this handbook in a few days." After a while, Si Linche put down his pen and handed the paper to the county official.
The county magistrate is not a person who sees money, but looking at the number on the paper, he can't help but smile on his face. Si Linche has always been careful, in addition to the silver taels, there are many other things, all of which can be cashed, which is a large expense.
The county official took a closer look and hurriedly said, "Si Gongzi has broken the bill."
Si Linche nodded, no longer spoke, but looked inside the prison.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw Xiao Wei drinking water coming out of it, and it seemed that he had just noticed Yun Genggeng and Si Linche, and came over to say hello.
"Lord Xiao, what's going on?" Si Lin Che said.
Xiao Wei put the teacup away and pointed to the dim prison: "It's better to go over and have a look together."
Seeing is believing, and that's fine. Si Linche snorted, and seeing that Yun Geng Geng was about to follow, he remembered the words of the county official, pulled her, and said, "Geng Geng, don't go in yet, wait for me to come out outside."
Yun Genggen took two steps over with some reluctance, and sure enough, a musty smell of blood came to his face, and the wind gusted.
She shuddered, and she was really unwilling to give up, hesitated for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and took out the gas mask she had exchanged before, seeing that Si Linche and Xiao Wei were a little surprised, Yun Geng Geng smiled and said, "I'm wearing this."
