Chapter 43: Returning Home
He walked over with squinted eyes, a wooden shelf?
The thing was placed a little further inside than yesterday, and it looked like it was freshly beaten, and it was not polished, just a large triangular shelf, very rough.
"Shuhe," he learned to be obedient, didn't shout, went into the kitchen and said to his daughter-in-law, "You go and see, is this our thing?" ”
"What's that?" Wei Shuhe muttered and looked over, and shook his head, his face was not so good-looking.
Another thing I don't recognize? Is it that one again?
She was so angry that she threw the rag in her hand: "Whatever the hell!" Xiao Qizi, go, throw this thing to the big barn! ”
Her nephew Qi Guang hugged the big wooden shelf and went away.
Yan Lingxi had already taken the note here, and sent the wooden shelf to the designated place according to the instructions on the note, and when he saw the news, he wondered, would Xiao Zhan also send this murder weapon to the third room's house?
Fortunately, yesterday I told them not to stay at home no matter what strange things they saw.
She was about to go to the big locust tree to practice with the patrol team, but when she arrived at the place, she didn't see anyone who was in class today. She waited for a while, only to see a teenage boy rushing over to report: "Uncle Li Zheng called you over!" ”
When I was close to Lizheng's house, I heard a commotion, mixed with a few weepings from women.
The noise was so loud that it seemed like the roof was about to be lifted.
There were people on the third floor and the outer three floors of his yard, and Yan Lingxi squeezed in all the way, but fortunately, most people saw that she gave way, so it was not so difficult.
There were also many people in the house, and there was a stretcher in the middle of the hall with a broken leg lying on it.
Oh no, the survey team that went out to find water is all back!
Yan Lingxi walked to the stretcher and squatted down to identify it, the person's face was also bruised and swollen, and he could vaguely identify it.
"Chen Siniu?"
The man replied.
Yan Lingxi sighed, this Chen Siniu is the most capable person in the survey team.
"What's going on?"
Chen Siniu couldn't speak clearly, and a few other survey team members told him about it.
It turned out that Chen Siniu's injury was still beaten by the people of the yamen!
"We have already found a water source, but reported to the government, but the government has been slow to send people, you don't know, the people of Dawazi Village can't wait, they have already died of drought, as soon as the two of us combined, we said that we would dig in private and try, and if it is done, the two villages will be divided in half."
"That's right! Not only did they not send people, but even when we said that we wanted to dig it ourselves, they also pushed and pressed it, and there was no water at all in Dawazi Village, isn't this a life! ”
"It turned out that as soon as we boiled the water out here, we just saw a small puddle coming out, and they came,, they saw us boiling water and said that this water eye is from the county, and we don't count anything at all! We definitely couldn't agree to this, so we quarreled with them, and that bastard master also said that we had broken the law by digging without permission, and we would be sent to prison!
Later, Brother Si Niu was not convinced, so he took us to fight with them, and Brother Si Niu was surrounded by several officials and broke his leg. There were a few good offspring in Dawazi Village, covering us to run, but we never dared to rest, and ran all the way back. ”
The few people who spoke were also injured on their heads and faces, and their expressions were still angry.
At this time, Chen Shulin also came over, and his face was about to turn black into an iron block.
I'm so angry, what is this!
"The government is not in a hurry, they sent someone to watch, just wait for you to dig out the water, so they can pick up the ready-made." Yan Lingxi expressed his reasoning.
Everyone in the survey team looked at each other, and hated the group of things that ate food and didn't do anything.
Chen Siniu was extremely excited when he heard Yan Lingxi's words, grabbed Yan Lingxi, and then said to his daughter-in-law who was wiping tears next to him: "Hu, Hu, I'll get up." ”
Yan Lingxi and the others knew that he had something to say, and they all waited patiently on the side.
Chen Siniu half sat up, and after a while, he said unneatly: "That's how it goes!" I told the officials over there that I knew about the silver, and they said that the Feng county order was afraid that there would be a water source in the report, and the upper authorities would blame him for being inferior to the villagers in a county order, and he didn't know that there was water in his jurisdiction, so he pressed it! ”
His lips moved, and the more he spoke, the more neat he became, his eyes staring at Yan Lingxi and Chen Shulin: "Maybe I just want to throw us all into the prison later, and then swallow this water eye alone!" The people of Dawazi Village are under their rule, and they don't dare to take the lead, so that no one will know that this water belongs to us and Dawazi Village in the future, only that he Feng County ordered the merit in governance! We can't get a drop of water in our village! ”
Yan Lingxi nodded, this person thought clearly.
Thanks to Chen Siniu for not being honest, otherwise they would have squatted in that big prison that would not see the light of day, and I am afraid that in the end, they would have lost their lives.
"Then will that group of officials chase after them and arrest people? Why did my second child become a fugitive? Here's how? ”
There are women who are anxious that they can't do it, and they are weeping here.
"Just, why? Aren't we just looking for saliva, how can we arrest people on official errands...... Woowoo woo ......"
Some even began to cry.
Chen Shulin was annoyed by their whining: "If you have nothing to do, go out first, don't buzz here!" ”
"Not necessarily," Yan Lingxi didn't have time to take care of those people, "Most likely, the government is also bluffing, at this time just got the water source, this Feng County Order is most anxious to report to get fame, we have run away, they can't tell how many people to arrest people across the county, so this matter has to be postponed, and when the water source is almost distributed, they will come to get people." ”
When the governance of the dynasty was chaotic, especially in the Lianxinzhuang area, which was relatively remote, the so-called Tiangao Emperor said this from afar, each prefecture and each county town had a bit of their own meaning, and the officials around the country were not necessarily of the same mind, and it was not easy to arrest people across the county with the few people in the county government.
Moreover, officials don't take these mud legs in their eyes, and they don't pursue them directly when they encounter those who are too big; When you encounter someone whose heart is too narrow, you immediately rush over and kill them all. However, these two kinds of people are in the minority, and if this Feng County Ling is a normal person, he will basically use the previous method.
Chen Shulin pondered and nodded at Yan Lingxi, indicating that he also agreed.
"Then do this, add two more sentry posts five or ten miles outside the village, let's find something to do as a signal, and when we see someone coming from the yamen, we will immediately release the letter, and let the people of the survey team hide in the mountains."
Yan Lingxi did what he said, and ordered the more obedient soldiers in the two patrols: "You two take people to the mountains, pick a few hidden caves, hide some water and dry food, maybe you will need it when the time comes." ”
Chen Shulin did not stop Yan Lingxi's arrangement, glanced at her thoughtfully, and then opened the cabinet and took out some money: "Go, buy some from the villagers, this money will be paid by the public." ”
Chen Shijiu and Li Lingyun took the order and left.
