Chapter 162: River Affairs (5)
Nian Qianyao's words made Li Luquan collapse to the ground in fright, leaving only two eyes that were still a little energetic. Reading the book// But the tent man was still a little bold, and he mustered up a lot of courage at the moment, but he still trembled and said: "Fourth prince, for the sake of my uncle, just spare the little ones." ”
Yin's face sank, and he said: "Ye is just a shell now, but he can't afford to be the word prince." When Mr. Bookkeeper said this, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with him, but he was choked back by Yin? Bao Zhu saw the eyes handed over by Nian Qianyao, and then said: "You can still protect you as your uncle? God is pitiful, once this disaster comes, I am afraid that the one who will suffer the most will be the chief manager Li! You have read books, but do you know the old things about Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian? This dynasty learned from the previous Ming Dynasty, and the most taboo eunuchs were lawless! The young master served as a guard in the palace, and over the years, he has seen how many eunuchs who were beaten to death by random sticks being carried out to feed the dogs! Still worried about your eldest master saving his life? Jokes, do you know that if the official Yan wrote a letter to impeach Li Dequan for conniving at his brother to transgress the system? Rampant in the township, your eldest master will also be beaten into a piece of rotten meat!" Mr. Bookkeeper was suddenly silent.
After a long time, Li Luquan was relieved. With a squeeze of his eyes, he actually howled like a woman, which made Baozhu annoyed for a while, and snorted heavily, only to scare Li Luquan's cry back. Yin? looked at the ball of meat in front of him, and said angrily and funny: "Come on, Lord believes in Buddhism, what he wants is to save people's lives, and win the creation of a seven-layer floating slaughter." I can't see others like this. Since they have summoned you today, they will show you a clear way, and you will not listen to you. ”
When he said this, in Li Luquan's ears, it was tantamount to fairy music, and he immediately cheered up, knelt down in an orderly manner, and said, "But according to the orders of the fourth elder brother." Reading //"
Seeing that Yin was silent, Nian Qianyao smiled knowingly and said, "First give those things that are out of control, such as the door of your house, the plaque, the sedan chair, etc." Second, don't see the heavens and the government together. If those officials hadn't asked your uncle, they would have been able to have a good relationship with you because of their background as two scholars? Those things in your family that have exceeded the rules, and you say that those officials are as confused as you? Have you ever thought about why they didn't remind you? This is a card in their hand! When the day really comes to turn their faces, it will be a great sin to meet the situation. In my opinion, it's better to make less trouble for your uncle, and it's better to be a rich man in An An's life. Third, be kind to your neighbors. Don't think that it's great that your family has a five-grade general manager, and you are so sure that others don't have any relatives and friends who are officials in Beijing? If you are in a hurry, even if you are a flat-headed commoner, you can go to Beijing and knock on the drum! If the imperial historians hear that it is a case that can bring down the head of the palace maids, they will understand that they will tell you, and they are afraid that the momentum will be greater than calling Hanako to see the silver!"
Listening to Nian Qianyao's vulgar and straightforward words, he almost laughed out loud, and the tea he had just brought to his mouth choked into his throat, causing a cough, and he hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief. Thinking that Li Lu is all white, he can only understand the words.
Sure enough, Li Luquan listened to Nian Qianyao's words, nodded desperately, and when he heard the end, his fat lips deflated twice, with some crying, and said: "Fourth elder brother, two masters, the golden mouth and jade words of several of you, the little ones dare not disobey." But this is good for the neighbors, small, small...... , these days have probably offended people. ”
Although the three of them knew what he was talking about, they pretended not to know on the surface. Nian Qianyao deliberately asked with a gloomy face, "What have you done?" After Li Luquan shuddered and told him about the forced demolition of people's houses, Baozhu smiled and said, "This is also simple, but I want you to spend some money." Then, Baozhu leaned over and whispered a few words in Li Luquan's ear. After Li Luquan heard this, the expression on his face was extremely bitter, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. Seeing Baozhu's eyes, Li Luquan couldn't help but shudder and nodded reluctantly.
Seeing that the matter had been completed, Nian Qianyao glanced at Yin, and when he saw Yinshan nodding slightly, he coughed lightly and said, "You still know the general situation, and the bodhisattva heart of the fourth elder brother is finally not in vain." Li Luquan only breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and hurriedly kowtowed three times, and said: "Yes, yes, the fourth elder brother saves the little family, this kindness is small in my heart, and I will repay my life well." Yin? Zhengse said: "There is no need to repay the service. Ye said, since you are Li Dequan's brother, Ye didn't treat you as an outsider, and it is human nature to help with something. I won't tell you anything, my lord came here to control the river. The prince is the elder brother in charge. The lord has seen that the flood is huge, or it is in the area of Baoding Mansion. If this matter can be successful, it will be a great plan to benefit the people, and it will also be good for your Li family. Listening to Yin, the tone was really like having a family affair with an acquaintance, but Li Luquan was a little dazed, so he said with a smile: "What the fourth elder brother said is true." The small one is flooded almost every year. If the flood comes, won't the small family's fields and shops be flooded?"
"Ah," the two hundred and five bookkeepers also came and immediately continued, "That's why my lord is going to build the embankment." ”
Yin smiled and asked casually, "How long has your family built a dam?" Before Li Luquan could answer, the bookkeeper interjected again: "It's about two miles away." It made Li Luquan feel angry in his heart, and he could only think hatefully when he returned home, he must have gotten rid of this unobtrusive account room.
Yin asked again: "How long is the line of the Yanchu River in this county?"
The bookkeeper finally noticed Li Luquan's dark face, hesitated for a moment, and did not open his mouth again. Nian Qianyao joked: "Since Second Master Li is a local squire, he should naturally know the answer?" Even if Li Luquan was stupid, he guessed the intention of Yin's words just now, weighed it for a moment, and finally said with a horizontal heart: "The local Yanchao River is more than 20 miles. The little ones have thought about it, they are fellow villagers, and the little ones can't just take care of their own family. The small ones are willing to contribute money and efforts to the court and the local people to build dikes and benefit the township. ”
"Very good!" Yin? Hearing this, he praised and said: "If the Li family can do this, I will ask the emperor to order this embankment to be named 'Li Jiadi' in recognition of the righteous deeds of your two Li family brothers! At that time, it will not be you who will touch Li Dequan's light, but Li Dequan's light." After that, he personally helped Li Luquan to get up. With the support of today's prince, Li Luquan, the direct teacher, smiled, and suddenly felt that the bones of his body were not double.
At this time, a few people sat down with the guests, and let the shopkeeper heat up the wine and food, and during the banquet, Nian Qianyao told Li Luquan and the two not to reveal Yin's whereabouts without authorization. After eating indiscriminately for half an hour, Li Luquan confessed and left with a smile on his face. Through the window of the private room, they saw Li Lu giving up the sedan chair and panting and taking the people away, and the three of them smiled committally and breathed a sigh of relief.
