Chapter 681: The Woodcutter's Words
"Bang ......"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was very angry, and slammed his fist on the table, making a muffled sound.
"What? Escalating the next day? ”
The veterans frowned as well.
In the event of such a big flood, after receiving the news, if the county immediately dispatched officers and soldiers to carry out rescue, perhaps more people would be saved.
Unexpectedly, this county man not only did not organize a rescue, but beat the person who reported the news.
This is simply disregarding the lives of those affected by the disaster!
"yes......!"
The old woman nodded firmly at first, but then found that the faces of several people were not quite right, so she relieved herself, "Of course, I have also heard these words, we are just ordinary people, how can we know about the affairs between the government and the government!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and went back to work.
The old man still helped them add tea, and then said mysteriously: "I'll tell you one more thing, I promise you that your jaws drop!" ”
"What?"
The old goods were also very cooperative, and they came over one after another, blinking curiously.
"I heard from a tea guest! Some time before the breach of the embankment, he was chopping wood on the mountain, and he could often hear the sound of a chisel hitting the stones. But he looked carefully, but he didn't see anyone, thinking that he had heard it wrong! But for several days, there was this voice, but I couldn't see anyone! He thought he had come across something unclean, so he never went there to chop wood again! Within a few days, the levee broke! Do you think it's weird? ”
"When he came to me for tea, he breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the levee was absolutely abnormal, and that it was cursed to make such a sound, and finally broke down and devoured so many people's lives!"
When the old man said this, he was very serious, and it was obvious that he believed the woodcutter's words.
In this era, the theory of ghosts and gods was very popular.
Not to mention the common people, even the previous Yingzheng also advocated immortality, and asked Xu Fu to ask for immortal medicine!
So, as long as it is something that they can't explain, it will be attributed to the ghosts!
"But what you said is true?"
Ying Feiyu also asked with a straight face.
Not because he believed in these spirits, but because he was concerned that the woodcutter often heard the sound of chisels hitting stones!
Doesn't that mean that someone is secretly digging a dam?
It's just that it's hidden and hasn't been discovered!
If this is really the case, as the scumbag guessed, the breach of the embankment this time is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
"Of course it's true, that's what the woodcutter told me! But whether what he said is true or not, then I can't verify it, haha......! ”
The old man smiled, lifted the lid of the teapot, and found that unconsciously, the tea was gone, "A few guest officers, wait a minute, I'll go and add some more to you!" ”
"No need!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand slightly.
They have been sitting here for a while, except for listening to the old man talk about the flood, they have been eating, and now their stomachs are almost full!
"Lao Zhang, give money!"
Towards Zhang Han, Zhang Han understood, groped in his arms, took out a handful of copper coins, and put them on the table.
"Oops! A few guest officers, just a little tea, either so much, or so much! ”
The old man looked at the small pile of copper coins on the table, and was so excited that he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly chased it out.
But Yingzheng and the others strode into a meteor, and after a while, they turned around and turned into another street!
"Alas......! It's good to be rich! ”
The old man looked at the handful of copper coins in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Don't you think, old man...... These people seem to be a little weird? ”
The old woman also chased after her, looking at the handful of copper coins in the old man's hand, slightly puzzled.
"Hmmm! It's really different from us ordinary people! A piece of luxury! ”
The old man nodded and handed the copper coin to the old woman.
"And you still tell him so much?"
Seeing that the old man felt the same way, the old woman suddenly regretted that she had just said so many things about officials and floods.
"Hey! Anyway! If they were just passers-by, they would have passed away! If any of them are a high-ranking official who visits the people, these words are just enough for them to know the suffering of our people! Anyway, we're just a stall, and we'll tell if what we say is true or false! ”
With that, the old man put away the dishes they had just used and wiped the crumbs off the table.
The rag is skillfully placed on the shoulder, waiting for the next guest!
……
After Ying Zheng and the others left the tea stall, their mood was not as calm as that of the stall owner and the old man.
Striding forward, without even looking back.
"Do you hear that? Did you hear it all? ”
"Nanzhou County Cheng, it was actually bought! Bought! ”
"I really didn't expect that my Great Qin calendar is so strict, and there is even the behavior of buying and selling officials!"
After leaving the tea stall, Ying Zheng took everyone and walked out a long way in a huff, making sure that there was no one around, and then he began to be furious.
"Your Majesty is angry, these are all market words, not necessarily true!"
"Yes! The official position of the county is not big, but it is not small, and it may not be bought! Even if they bought it, they didn't have the courage to delay such a big thing as a flood! ”
"Yes, yes, these are all rumors, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes......!"
Seeing that Yingzheng was angry, Wang Ben and others hurriedly comforted.
If it is above the court, there are many officials, and the old goods just need to shrink their necks and pretend not to hear.
But when they went out this time, the other ministers who accompanied them could only stay with the guards, and Yingzheng didn't let them follow too closely at all.
At the moment, there are only a few of them around, and only a few of them can say relief!
If you don't say a word, Your Majesty will definitely be even more angry, and even they will suffer when the time comes!
"The more it spreads, the more evil it becomes? What about the digging of a dam? This is what the woodcutter told him personally, it can't be a rumor, right? ”
"Uh...... Even if this is not a rumor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there are no ghosts in this world at all! ”
Zhang Han immediately led the handle to Ying Feiyu.
Now this kid can make His Majesty's anger lessen!
"I know that there are no ghosts, and it is precisely because I know that there are no ghosts in the world that I am angry!"
Ying Zheng suddenly showed a sharp gaze, which made people shudder.
Knowing that what happened to the woodcutter could not have been done by a ghost, then it proves that someone had done something to the embankment!
Good and dignified, ordinary people will definitely not do this, and the purpose of people who can do such things is definitely not simple!
"Sizzle......"
Ying Zheng said this, and the old people suddenly understood the importance of this matter.
It turns out that His Majesty's thunderous anger is not just because of buying and selling officials.
It's because someone tried to do something wrong and harmed these nearly 100,000 people!
