Chapter 35: Woe
Bao Qing took advantage of the wine and was just about to do a good deed with Zhanfang. How do you know that Bao Qing seems to be born with two hearts. The desire was burning here, and his hands were groping in front of Zhanfang's chest for a while, but he was thinking nonsense in his heart.
The embankment material in the east of the city looks pretty good, it's quite strong, and it's all the shops of big families in Changchang County, so it's not easy for the Li family to mess around. Why did this burst the embankment? Could it be that there were victims in the south of the city to reinforce the embankment, and the flood had no choice but to consciously choose the east of the city to burst the embankment?
Although it is possible, this reason is too far-fetched. That Qin master was really troublesome, and he actually mobilized his own soldiers without authorization.
Bao Qing looked at Zhan Fang, who was extremely impatient at this time, and saw that Zhan Fang's hands were tightly protected, and he couldn't show it at all.
Bao Qing couldn't help but think in his heart: "I'll see how long you can protect your hands!" So he said: "Xiaofang, you don't have any clothes on you, and your face is still so red, don't you feel ashamed!" ”
Sure enough, when Zhanfang heard this, she felt embarrassed, and hurriedly withdrew her hands to cover her face, not daring to face Bao Qing.
"Haha, this is the sound of the east and the west! I can't protect it now! Bao Qing was very satisfied, and he was just about to do a good deed. At this time, he suddenly stopped all movements, his face was solemn, and he muttered in his mouth: "The sound is striking the west!" How I didn't think of it! Not good! I'm afraid something will happen to the embankment in the south of the city! ”
"Xiaowen, come on!" Bao Qing didn't care about Zhanfang, and hurriedly shouted.
Saying that Zhan Zhao asked what was wrong outside the door, Bao Qing shook his clothes, looking slightly anxious.
"Master Bao! No, brother-in-law! When are you going to propose to my eldest brother! "It's Zhanfei who speaks.
"What?" Bao Qing was slightly surprised, and his head didn't react.
Zhan Zhao was displeased, this bag of adults obviously seemed to have just taken advantage of his sister, and he also lifted his pants when he came out. This is pretending to be confused in the blink of an eye?
"Brother Bao, what are you doing in there with Sister Zhan! I heard Sister Zhan's screams! Bao Liuwen asked at Bao Qing with her two white front teeth exposed.
As soon as he said this, everyone present was embarrassed. That Zhanfang originally planned to come out, but after hearing this, he was so ashamed that he hid in the room and didn't come out.
"That, don't get me wrong, my waist is not very good, Miss Zhan just helped me beat it!" Bao Qing lied and never blushed. But seeing that Zhan Zhao was displeased, he hurriedly continued: "I am looking for you to come here, there is something important. I pondered, I am afraid that something big will happen in the south of the city tonight, and it seems that someone has made a noise. ”
"Oh? Give the dummy? Zhan Zhao saw that it was a serious matter, and he couldn't help but look serious.
"Brother Bao? You mean that Li Jiujin? Bao Liuwen asked.
"I think so! This Li Jiujin's background is very complicated. To date, I don't even know what exactly he wants to do! The Lu family in Luzhou was wiped out, and the murderer must basically be this Li family. And not only that, we found out that the Lu family has been secretly investigating the Li family. This makes me strange, at present, it seems that the backstage of the Li family is Li Hai, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and the backstage of the Lu family is Lu Xiangye. If you want to say that the two should be entangled in the court, why did the two senior officials of the court and the central government put this entanglement in the Li family in Changchang County. Bao Qing said in a deep voice.
"This Li family is so complicated? Why don't I visit the Li family at night tonight to see what they do? Zhanzhao asked.
"My biggest concern tonight is the Seongnam Embankment! What I'm afraid of is that Master Qin has transferred all the people to the east of the city to repair the embankment, and the south of the city may burst the embankment tonight! ”
"Brother Bao, are you saying that the embankment in the east of the city was deliberately broken? The purpose is to divert everyone's attention and lure the soldiers and victims of the south of the city to the east of the city? Bao Liuwen asked.
"It should be so, you guys, in the past, they used to make a water ghost and scared many people into not going to the south of the city. Now, because of our active disaster relief, there are many victims in the south of the city, and it is inevitable that there will be many people. Perhaps, they find it inconvenient! So lead them all away! ”
"This, what do they want to do?" Zhanfei couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Why don't we go to the south embankment of the city tonight, and Zhan Daxia will go to explore Li's house!" Da Niu, you follow me and help me transfer troops at any time. Bao Qing commanded.
Just then, there was a sharp knock on the door outside. Bao Qing's heart tightened, afraid that something bad news would come.
When the door opened, seven or eight figures crashed in. The big cow carried a lantern and took a photo, led by Bao Hong, the county commander of Changchang County.
"Dad, why are you here!" Bao Liuwen asked.
Bao Hong didn't speak, but the light shone on Bao Hong's face, and Bao Hong's face was pale, like a mourning woman. When he saw Bao Qing, he put his hands on Bao Qing's shoulders and said in a mournful voice: "Disaster, great disaster!" After saying that, he sobbed in a low voice.
Bao Qing thought that something might happen, and the lantern of Da Niu shone away, and the seven or eight people accompanying him were all the officials of the county government, including the Qin master book and Qian Zhutou. However, they all looked sluggish and pale.
"What the hell is going on? Dad, you say! Don't scare me! Bao Liuwen asked anxiously when she heard this.
"Lieutenant Bao, two hundred pieces of disaster relief official silver have disappeared in our Changchang County. It's over, it's over! Master Qin sighed.
"If you lose it, you lose it, what is our responsibility! The most worried is the officers and soldiers who escort the official silver. Why are you doing this? Besides, they escorted the official and did not inform our county and asked our county to send someone to assist. In this way, we can pretend that we don't know, or we will be over! What are you panicking about? Bao Qing said lightly.
"You! This time, I'm afraid that the heads of the county's officials will fall to the ground. I'm afraid I'm going to affect Xiaowen. Ay! Bao Zhixian sighed.
Seeing this, Master Qin explained: "The big ship escorting the disaster relief money sank mysteriously in our long-term county section of the Nanqi River, and the officers and soldiers on board are afraid that they will not survive. Do you know? This shows that there are a large number of bandits in our county. Isn't this a remiss on our part? And at this time, it has been eight hundred miles of urgent express, or in a few days, the court will know. I heard that the emperor reduced the amount of money in the palace in order to raise these two million disaster relief money, you said that he knew such news, what will we do? ”
"Joke, this bandit may be passing by! Can you blame us? Bao Qing was a little dissatisfied.
"Yes! Maybe it was the Mizhou Xiangma who did it, didn't they wander to Luzhou a while ago? Qian Zhutou interjected.
"You pig! Didn't you say that the silver ship that was escorted sank? The Michigan Ringing Horse is a horse, not a boat! What nonsense. Besides, the Mizhou Xiangma has never intercepted the official bank, not to mention the disaster relief money to save the people! Zhanfei said dissatisfied.
"You guy, how can you curse! Is that thief a relative of yours? Lord Bao, look at him! Qian Zhutou was a little dissatisfied.
Bao Qing didn't want to drag Zhanzhao and them in, shook his hand, and said, "Why are you coming to me?" I can't help it! Bao Qing thought to himself, it's a big deal that he can run away, so follow Zhanzhao and them to be a ringing horse. Last time they talked about sending a military advisor, and it was just right to go by themselves. What's more, I can be with Zhanfang every day.
"Lieutenant Bao, you can't escape! You have always had a lot of ideas, so you didn't know the county to take us to find you, you know? The embankment in the south of the city burst, and the flood rushed across the porridge shacks of the victims outside the city. Except for the victims who built a dam in the east of the city, the rest fled! Master Qin said.
"What? Bursting embankment in the south of the city? So why didn't we feel it on our side? I'm close to the levee. Although Bao Qing had long expected that something would happen in the south of the city, he was still slightly surprised when he heard the news. The Zhan Zhao people over there glanced at each other a few times with a little understanding.
"It's still a small section of the south of the city in previous years. On your side is the upstream, and the embankment is the lowest part of the city in the south of the city, and all the water is pouring out. Master Qin said.
"Don't tell me, the place where Guanyin wrecked is at the embankment half a mile away from me!" Bao Qing asked lightly.
"That's right! That's where we just came from! Bao Hong said.
Bao Qing was taken aback when he heard this, his face changed suddenly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Let's go, I want to think about it!" ”
Just waited for those officials to disperse, but Bao Hong pulled Bao Qing aside.
"Bao Qing, what happens to me! You have to help me take care of Xiaowen! Bao Hong instructed.
"If you have an accident, I guess something has happened too, how can you take care of it!" Bao Qing said helplessly.
"Take Xiaowen away! To take care of her for the rest of her life, she has been without her mother since she was a child! That southern bandit Zhanzhao is in your house, you have nowhere to hide, so take Xiaowen to him! Bao Qing didn't expect that Bao Hong seemed to know himself very well.
"Don't get me wrong, my wanted portrait of Zhanzhao! Also, Qian Catcher is actually my person. You listen to me slowly, my time is running out. In fact, as early as eight years ago, there was a case of theft of official bank in Changchang County, and he also disappeared in the same place. ”
"What? It's also half a mile away on the Nanqi River? ”
"Yes, I was also here as a magistrate that year, and Xiaowen's mother died of fright at that time. Back then, what was missing was three million pieces of silver, but it was just the military expenses collected by Jiangnan. The emperor has not yet been in power, and the queen mother was furious when she found out and wanted to kill all the officials in the county. Later, that person actually stepped in and helped us. I also obeyed the instructions and served as the magistrate of this long county for so many years. ”
"Huh? And such a thing? Who is that person helping you? Bao Qing asked.
