"What's going on in Longxi Huangsha? Why did the wind and sand suddenly rise in a good way? How much impact did the yellow sand have on the people? Why did Wang Zhiming and others not report what they knew about and let the yellow sand spread? ”

Shi Jianduo promised to explain everything, and Wang Ben immediately asked.

A series of questions made Shi Jianduo not know which one to answer first!

"Lao Wang, don't be too anxious, this guy only has one mouth, let him speak slowly......!"

Zhang Han gave Shi Jian more kicks on the ground, "Don't sit paralyzed on the ground, get up and talk!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu!"

Shi Jianduo was already frightened and weak, and struggled several times before he staggered up and sat on a nearby chair.

"Hey! It's really a kick on your nose and face, it's good to get you up and talk back, and you even sit down! ”

Zhang Hanqi's nose was crooked, and he just wanted to reach out to pull him down, but was stopped by Wang Ben, "Okay, sit down, sit down, quickly explain the matter clearly, let's go and send a telegram back to Your Majesty!" ”

"Hmmm! It's ......! ”

Zhang Han nodded and gave him a blank look, "Hurry up!" ”

"The climate of our Longxi is dry, and the land is not fertile, since Wang Zhiming took office, he has been cutting down many mountains in the jurisdiction year after year! Without trees, the land is even more barren, those loess are all leaking out, plus this year's lack of rain, those barren land even grass has not grown much, a strong wind, directly yellow sand raging! ”

"Only a few villages were affected by the storm, but if we deal with it in time, we can still control it! However, as soon as Wang Zhiming and others discussed, they knew that His Majesty paid attention to environmental protection, and had not mentioned indiscriminate felling for a long time, and if they reported it, they would definitely have to find out that they had cut down the mountain, so they decided not to deal with it, and only transferred the affected people! ”

"How do you know that the wind and sand are blowing bigger and bigger, and the scope of the impact is getting wider and wider, many counties under the jurisdiction have been affected by the wind and sand, and the county commanders have come to the city, found the county guard, and asked to report to the governance, but they were reprimanded by Wang Zhiming, let them go back honestly, and take care of their own affairs!"

"I'm afraid that these county orders will write and report to themselves, and then send people to threaten and bribe, and finally appease all these county orders!"

After saying so much in one breath, Shi Jianduo seemed to have a dry mouth and licked his lips.

"Go! Get some clean water! ”

In order to find out the truth of the matter faster, Zhang Han shouted towards the door.

The guards received the order and hurried to do it.

A moment later, a pot of freshly fetched cold water arrived.

Shi Jianduo glanced at it, and didn't seem to want to drink it!

"What? I have to boil it for you and put some tea leaves? ”

Zhang Han understood as soon as he saw his posture, this was disgusted that the water had not been burned, and immediately said in a strange manner.

"It's good to drink some! During the march, it was common for the soldiers to not see water for two or three days in a row! Not to mention such clean well water, at that time, even the muddy water in the horseshoe nest on the ground had to be picked up and drunk! ”

Wang Ben also kept rolling his eyes at him and scolded him for being hypocritical.

"If you don't want to drink it, it's okay, the pot of tea on the table is ready-made, just serve it to you!"

Zhang Han turned around and transferred the pot of poisoned tea to the small table next to Shi Jianduo, and said angrily.

"No, no, no! No need, I'll just drink cold water! ”

What is in the water that he knows best, and can he still live after drinking it?

Then you really won't be able to see your parents, wife and children!

After that, he grabbed the kettle and poured it into his mouth.

After drinking a stomach of cold water, the whole person was much sober.

"Since he has pacified all the county orders, why did Luoyang County still send a letter to Xianyang?"

Wang Ben asked.

"I heard that the wind and sand in that county are the heaviest, and the county order is also to protect the lives of myself and my family, so I played, and was told by the county lieutenant who took the advantage! Wang Zhiming prepared for a while, immediately went to Xianyang, and after settling the matter, he turned back again! After that, the county order played disappeared, and the county lieutenant sat in the position of the county magistrate! ”

After that, the wind and sand continued to increase, and a few days after the county lieutenant was promoted, a sudden wind raged at night, and the entire county government was buried in the yellow sand. I guess he's dead! ”

Shi Jianduo recounted some of the things he knew.

"As far as you know, how many of the twenty-one counties in Longxi have suffered from yellow sand?"

Zhang Han and Wang Ben listened with anger and pity.

It is the inaction of the county guard and the county order that is angry, and it is the innocent people who are sour!

If it had been replaced by a responsible official, it would not have led to this tragedy!

"Not to mention more than 10 counties and more than 100 villages! But the most serious ones are Lüyang, Didao, Xixian and Langan! The wind and sand have been blowing for so long, it is estimated that it has become a desert! ”

Shi Jianduo's eyes also showed a trace of regret.

"!"

Wang Ben cursed angrily.

This means that Wang Zhiming is not around, if he is, he must be torn up on the spot!

"What about the victims? People won't just wait for the yellow sand to be buried, right? There must be escapes, where are all these people? ”

Zhang Han asked.

"At the beginning of the yellow sand, the people thought that the blowing would be over for two days, and no one took it seriously, and when they reacted, the yellow sand had no knees, and it was very difficult to escape, not to mention that there were some people who wanted to bring their livestock, and it was even more difficult to walk! Some fled to the next county, and some fell into the yellow sand and died directly on the way to escape! ”

When Wang Zhiming learned that the people had begun to flee in all directions, he immediately sent troops to control them, encircled them all in Dingxi and Tianshui County, and forbade them to enter and leave! And ordered that as soon as the counties found homeless people, they would be sent there immediately, and no escapes were allowed! ”

"Those people finally arrived at a place where there was no wind and sand, and it was not too far from home, thinking that they would stay here for a while and then go home when the wind and sand passed! I don't know that the food given by the county every day is pitiful, even if it is not enough to boil porridge, I know that I was deceived, but it is too late to escape at this time! ”

Shi Jianduo revealed a lot of news in one go.

"The blood letter received by the reporting department was sent to Xianyang after these people tried their best to escape!"

Zhang Han said in a heavy tone and with a frown.

"Yes! In the face of many blockades, I don't know how the people arrived in Xianyang, and I don't even know if they are alive now! ”

Thinking of the obstacles that might be encountered on the road, Wang Ben hated the root of his teeth.

"These people have no way to sue, they must have lost confidence in the imperial court, so they didn't dare to go directly to the Xianyang County Ya to sue, but they handed a bloody letter to the reporting department!"

Zhang Han empathized and guessed the psychology of the people during this time.

At first, I definitely thought that the imperial court would come up with corresponding policies, but I didn't expect that they would be locked up, restricted their activities, and blocked their way to complain.

How disappointed these people are with the court!
