Chapter 427: Finding a Way to Govern
() Because the dam was broken, most of the people in the prefecture woke up in the middle of the night, and of course there were some people who did not wake up and were drowned by the water that rushed up at once, and then they were swept away.
Many people walked to the higher terrain on the mountain and watched the water rise little by little.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the rain became heavier, and the people of the prefecture who did not go up the mountain were shrouded in heavy rain.
The county magistrate rushed up, wearing only a pair of mattresses and trousers, and dragging a delicate woman.
As soon as they arrived on the mountain, the county people's originally low mood was suddenly amused, and those who were afraid of the county order before also took advantage of the night and did not know who was who, and said loudly: "The county commander always has such a quirk, which is really immoral." ”
The county magistrate was soaking wet, wearing only a close-fitting pair of mattresses, and his hair was messy, so he scolded angrily: "Believe it or not, I will arrest you all and put you in prison tomorrow." ”
As soon as his words came out, the crowd fell silent for a while, and finally burst into a loud laugh, probably because everyone was in trouble here, and everyone forgot about tomorrow for a while.
"You wait." The county commander's angry voice was muffled by the crowd, and then he scolded his subordinates: "You people who don't have long eyes, don't you know which clothes to give me?" ”
The subordinate who followed behind was also wearing only one piece of clothing, and under the terrifying eyes of the county order, he could only drag it down and hand it over to the county order.
But the county magistrate didn't appreciate it at all, took the clothes and sneered: "If I didn't have clothes, I wouldn't have worn these torn clothes, it's ugly to death." ”
Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan were also in the crowd, and naturally they also heard these words, Bai Rong was a little sympathetic to the housekeeper who took off his clothes, but sometimes he could only sympathize.
Gu Ziyuan didn't care about being reserved whether he was married or not, and hugged Bai Rong tightly in his arms, the mountains here are the kind of southern hills, and it is difficult to find a cave to hide for a while.
The people of the county rained on the mountain all night, and did not run down until the water had receded.
After Gu Ziyuan returned home, he simply cleaned himself up, and then went to the county to organize people to build a dam.
The strong men in the county were originally reluctant, but when Gu Ziyuan said that if the dam was not repaired, it might affect the future sowing or harvest, they were all persuaded and followed.
Gu Ziyuan didn't actually have to pay them wages in the first place.
However, he also knew that agitation was not a long-term solution, so he agreed to give them three cents a day as a salary for repairing the dam.
At one time, the young people of the county came to sign up to participate in the dam repair, but fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and after the heavy rain that night, the sky cleared, and the dam repair work was in full swing.
Bai Rong obviously found that Gu Ziyuan had lost weight, and she really wanted to let Gu Ziyuan rest for a day, but she didn't open her mouth after all, she just paid attention to letting Gu Ziyuan eat more food to nourish her body every day.
Bai Rong used to be skeptical when he saw the officials who had done their best to serve the people in the history books, but now it seems that they are all real, and the things recorded are far from expressing the contributions made by their predecessors.
Soon, with the efforts of Gu Ziyuan and the strong men in the county, the dam was repaired a little bit, using the most advanced construction method at that time, and it was expected that it would not be a problem to use it for fifty years.
The people in the county also have a different opinion of Gu Ziyuan because of this incident, and Gu Ziyuan is usually welcomed by people on the street.
Compared with Gu Ziyuan's good popularity, the county order is not better. After that night, he became the joke of the county.
Although he tried it, he couldn't talk about it, and there were countless people who laughed at him behind his back.
Now that Gu Ziyuan has made such a big splash in the matter of repairing the dam, the county commander is so jealous that he is going crazy.
Just as he was losing his temper at the house, a mysterious man found him.
"You hate Gu Ziyuan too, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't be so embarrassed."
The mysterious man suddenly appeared, he covered his face, and his speech did not fluctuate, and the county order was shocked the moment he just spoke.
"Who are you?"
The county magistrate took a step back, although he was ridiculous, but he was still very good at identifying friends and foes, otherwise he would not have been in front of the county magistrate of Panjia County.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that we have some common enemies."
The mysterious person is Chen Quan, who made people break the dam, but I didn't expect that although it rained a lot here, it was also fast, and it didn't flood the county at all, and of course it wouldn't hurt Gu Ziyuan.
That night, in fact, he was also in the crowd, not far from Gu Ziyuan, but unfortunately there were too many people there, and it was not a good place to sneak attack, so he let Gu Ziyuan go.
Do you mean that you want to join forces with me to deal with Gu Ziyuan? ”
As soon as the county commander heard that the enemy of the mysterious person turned out to be Gu Ziyuan, he couldn't care about the fear in his heart and asked.
"Yes, I'll lend you manpower, and then you're organizing people to kill him."
After the mysterious man finished speaking, the county order hesitated.
In his opinion, Gu Ziyuan is an official of the imperial court after all, and if he dies here without explanation, it will have nothing to do with him.
"What are you afraid of? As long as Gu Ziyuan dies, who knows that you did these things? Chen Quan saw the hesitation on his face, and secretly scolded in his heart, but he still said kindly: "As long as Gu Ziyuan dies, people here can only listen to you, do you still want them to continue to laugh at you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, he immediately stepped on the sore foot of the county order, he had been ridiculed by the people in the county for several days, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Chen Quan's plan.
Near the dam being repaired, Gu Ziyuan was even more diligent in running here, he had to watch it be repaired before he could rest assured, and sometimes he even forgot to go home for dinner.
Bai Rong had no choice, and he was worried about Gu Ziyuan's body, so he could only cook a meal and send it to him.
When they were attacked, Gu Ziyuan had just come out of his labor, and before he could take the food from Bai Rong's hands, he rushed out of a group of people and drew his sword towards Gu Ziyuan.
Gu Ziyuan's reaction was also enough, pulling up Bai Rong was a dodge, but there were too many of them, and Gu Ziyuan had just been freed from labor, so he soon fell below.
Those assassins took advantage of Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan's inability to dodge to speed up the pace of the attack, and then Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan were both injured.
The strong men who built the dam with Gu Ziyuan originally resisted together, but later found that there were too many attackers, so they fled while the masked man attacked Gu Ziyuan, and for a while only Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong were left.
Seeing this situation, Song Yuyu's people came out of the dark to help, but after all, there were too many sneak attacks, and they were beaten and retreated.
Gu Ziyuan grabbed Bai Rong's hand tightly and found that her hand had become cold.
Gu Ziyuan was distressed, and felt more and more that the assassin in front of him was hateful, and he didn't know where the strength came from to knock down the two assassins in front of him.
Bai Rong also practiced some taekwondo in his previous life.
