Chapter 41: The Scene of the Crime
And I don't know if it was Zhao Tian's heart that moved the heavens, or what, the rain gradually decreased, and this continuous drizzle also seemed to make people's mood soothe a lot.
Zhao Tian turned his head and faced all the soldiers and the people who had just been recruited:
"You are all heroes of Taihang Mansion, I hope everyone can have a sense of responsibility, after all, the safety of parents and children is in your hands, the future of Taihang is in front of us, and it is urgent to build channels, I will not say more, Taihang Governor, you take your people to stay here, and my people will go upstream with me."
Those who stay here should note that during the rainy season, the river rushes into the plains and often overflows; When there is not enough rain, it can cause drought. In order to turn harm into benefit, the general principle of the Taihang embankment project is simply "build a dam to divide water, build a canal to divert water". Dividing the river into two streams, one of which flows into the plain, can not only divide the flood and reduce the disaster, but also divert water to irrigate the fields and turn harm into benefit, such a large-scale water conservancy project, to build is very difficult.
Moreover, the water flow is turbulent, the water potential is huge, and it often breaks the embankment, and a large amount of sediment carried from the upstream is also easy to accumulate here, raising the riverbed and aggravating the flood! Therefore, we need a lot of people to dig rocks and open the mountain, and start the first shot of the Daxing embankment project. Because of the hard rocks, the start of the project was very slow.
Therefore, it is necessary to dig some trenches in the rock first, put firewood and grass, and ignite the fire to make the rock burst, which will speed up the excavation progress!
Zhao Wei gave an order: "Okay, now everyone acts separately, and the people upstream come with me!" After explaining a series of events, Zhao Tian led everyone to start the project!
Everyone took action! Those who held axes and carried pickaxes, everyone's expressions were serious, and they were full of enthusiasm after listening to Zhao Wei's encouragement.
"Everyone pays attention to safety, engineering is very important, life is more important, after all, a good body can work hard! Thank you for your hard work" Zhao Tian did not flinch, but accompanied everyone! Looking at the getting lighter and lighter rain, Zhao Tian was very happy, and Zhao Wei was also relieved!
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, the project was constructed as scheduled, and the appropriation that Zhao Wei applied for from the imperial court was also in place, and according to the previous practice, the flood season in Taihang would generally last for about half a month, so everyone did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Zhao Wei could have sat in the government office, but he chose to go into battle in person and work with the migrant workers, and Zhao Tian has always accompanied Zhao Wei, but Zhao Tian always felt inexplicably nervous and secretly uneasy in his heart.
Today is drizzling again, and Zhao Wei learned that Zhao Tian was still upstream, so he sent someone to let Zhao Tian come back.
"Go and get the young lady back, don't let her get out in the rain and freeze!"
Zhao Wei ordered his subordinates, but he was also watching from the embankment! It's just that he has a house here, which is relatively better than Zhao Tian's environment!
"Miss, the master ordered us to take you back." The person sent bowed and did not dare to look directly at Zhao Tian
"I know, your father said that I will go back later, and I will go back when this side is stable." Zhao Tian doesn't want to go back yet, she wants to watch here, because there is always a feeling of uneasiness in her heart!
"Miss, don't be embarrassed about the little one, the little one is also ordered to do something, please Miss Let's go back!" Zhao Qian wondered why this person was so difficult.
"Okay, I know, wait for me to say a few words first" Zhao Tian bypassed his entourage and raised his head and arched his hand, "I hope everyone will do things seriously, after all, this is about the comfort of the people, don't be sloppy, retire first, if there are any difficulties on the way, send someone to the prefect's mansion, I will come over immediately!" Then he turned around and walked away with his entourage!
The soldiers who repaired the channel also sincerely admired this Zhao family's daughter-in-law! I can't imagine that I am so smart! It's the appearance of a fairy again, but it's a pity that if it's a daughter, if it's a man, she must have something to do!
"My lord, the young lady has gone back to the house to rest, and the adults should go back too, but the wind and cold are not good, and the body is important." A man in green said that Zhao Wei had never seen this person, thinking that he was a subordinate of the prefect, so he followed back without much thought!
But it didn't take long for something to happen, and before Zhao Wei's ass was hot, a cronie outside hurriedly rushed in.
"Report!" A black-clothed guard with a knife knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said in a panic: "My lord is not good, there is a problem with Taihang Dike." ”
Zhao Wei was shocked, and Zhao Tian on the side was also shocked, he was really afraid of something!
"What's wrong?!" Zhao Wei remembered and trembled: "Come soon!"
The guard was in a hurry, and actually stammered a little: "That's it, it's ......."
Seeing this, Zhao Wei was about to open his mouth to scold, but when Zhao Tian saw this, he immediately helped up the kneeling guards and asked softly: "This little brother, what's wrong with this Taihang Embankment?" ”
I learned from the guards: There are many cracks in the Taihang embankment, and water seepage has begun in some places, and there is a great possibility of the embankment bursting!
When Zhao Wei heard this, he immediately collapsed on the chair, and slapped the chair with both hands, if it weren't for the strength of the chair, he would have broken it.
As soon as there is an accident on this embankment, even the progress of the project will be greatly reduced, Zhao Wei is very annoyed, so many people on the embankment are building day and night, and there are so many supervisors, what are they doing to eat!
Zhao Wei rushed to the scene overnight! Zhao Tian was not at ease, and followed Zhao Wei together, after all, this matter also had something to do with her.
Seeing the situation at the scene, Zhao Wei frowned, Zhao tilted his heart, there were obvious traces of crime in the cracks of the embankment, these cracks all have a feature, and there are neat digging marks in the center, which is obviously dug out with a pickaxe, and someone did it deliberately! But who has nothing to do to make trouble, this Taihang embankment is a matter of tens of millions of lives!
"Your Excellency!" A guard appeared out of nowhere.
The guard also saw that it was artificial, and looked at Zhao Wei: "My lord, this may be a child who is ignorant.......
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Wei reprimanded sharply: "Which child has such ability, it is obvious that someone did it on purpose!" ”
Zhao Qian seems to have thought of a place with Zhao Wei, this matter is not so simple, but she is not sure whether this is for her, or the officialdom dispute, for Zhao Wei!
Zhao Tian looked at the side, there were many people with ulterior motives around, and the guards who suddenly appeared just now, he didn't look like a good stubble, Zhao Tian had an idea.
"Daddy, what do you think, no matter how slow this project is, it is impossible to repair only this, after all, there are so many people, and there are still many big and small mistakes!" Zhao Tian was no longer sure who the other party's target was, and she didn't want to startle the snake.
Zhao Tian squeezed his eyebrows at Zhao Wei as he spoke, and motioned for Zhao Wei to cater to her, but Zhao Wei looked at Zhao Tian and winked at him, but he was a little confused: "Qian'er, what's wrong with your eyes!" Do I want to send you back? ”
Zhao tilted his head, it turned out that this era didn't understand this code!!
"Hehe...... Zhao Tian smiled awkwardly, pretending to rub his eyes: "It's okay, it's okay, my eyes are in the sand." ”
"Oops! That's right, Daddy! Zhao Tian suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh? What's wrong!? Zhao Wei looked at Zhao Tian with a puzzled expression.
"Oops! It's amazing! As he spoke, Zhao Tian pointed to the crack on the embankment: "This crack is in the center of the embankment, and it is also the most serious, if you don't ignore it, I'm afraid the whole Dati will be in danger" What's wrong with the embankment!?
This Zhao Wei is the second monk is puzzled, looking at this crack, although it is not small, but it is not as serious as Zhao Tian said, why does Zhao Tian exaggerate it?
When Zhao Wei was about to express his opinion, Zhao Tian dragged Zhao Wei over: "Daddy, the soup cooked in the house is about to be mushy, let's go back quickly!" ”
Zhao Wei was even more confused, he didn't come to solve the matter, but he wanted to go back and do something, but Zhao Tian immediately gave him a gesture and made a look, Zhao Wei immediately understood!
Zhao Wei cleared his throat, pretending to be pretending, and catered to Zhao Tian: "That's right! This soup contains cordyceps given by the emperor, which is very precious. ”
Zhao Wei looked at his close cronies: "It's dark, it's not safe, you go back together and protect the safety of Miss!" ”
Then Zhao Wei said in an official tone and pointed to the unknown guard: "You are guarding here, and I will send someone over later!" ”
Before the words fell, Zhao Wei and his party pretended to leave, and with a whoosh, they all hid in the dark, and the group of guards of unknown origin began to mumble quietly.
And none of them noticed that in the dark night, there was a pair of eyes staring at all this! Even Zhao Tian didn't notice it!
