Chapter 128: Diverting water into the city and hiding from the sky and the sea

Everyone's eyes fell on Zheng Xinghe.

The latter straightened out his thoughts, coughed a few times and said, "If you want to talk about something related to the people of the city, there is indeed one thing, but this matter has been going on for some years. ”

"Don't ink, get to the point." Jiang Wujian said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xinghe looked at Li Changfeng and asked, "Three years ago, there was a great drought in South Vietnam, Lord Li should still remember it, right?" ”

"Of course I remember, but wasn't that drought over soon?" Li Changfeng said.

Zheng Xinghe shook his head and sighed: "That's just the surface...... In the past three years, there has been very little rain in South Vietnam, and many rivers have dried up, but there is no drought again. ”

"Let's not talk about the distance, after the drought three years ago, the canals in Baiyue City have been in a slump......

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng seemed to remember something, so he interrupted Zheng Xinghe's words and said: "I still remember this, the water source of Baiyue City mainly relies on underground water veins, and at that time you had a problem with the water veins, but if I remember correctly, the department sent a feng shui master to help you see it, right?" It also helped you find a new source of water. ”

Zheng Xinghe nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, it is precisely because the Lord of Fengtiansi helped us find a new water source that we built a lot of construction and built new channels, but ......"

Li Changfeng: "But what? ”

Zheng Xinghe: "Master Li still remembers Liuhu, right?" ”

"Naturally, I remember, I heard that it was because the feng shui master's surname was Liu, so you named him by his surname."

"It's true, Liuhu Lake is the new water source of our Baiyue City, but originally there were several villages in this place, because we dug up the underground water veins and caused torrents, so we have today's Liuhu."

"Lord Zheng, what do you want to say?" Li Changfeng was also a little impatient, Zheng Xinghe said that he knew for a long time, and there was no point at all.

Seeing that Li Changfeng and Jiang Wuji's faces were full of irritability, Zheng Xinghe finally stopped abducting and saying:

"The water of Liuhu Lake can't be used, because Liuhu Lake is evil, there are water ghosts!"

"But it's okay now, after Chongyang, the lower officials will order the sluice gates to be opened and the water will be released, and the canals in the city will be full again, and the people will no longer need to worry about water in the future."

Li Changfeng frowned and muttered: "The matter of water sources is indeed closely related to the people of the city......

"That's natural, but apart from this matter, Xia Guan really can't think of when the people of the whole city will be involved." Zheng Xinghe dropped this sentence, and his eyes fell on Jiang Wuji, who had a heavy face and locked eyebrows.

Drought, canals, villages, lakes, water ghosts, underground rivers, after the Chongyang Festival, water is brought into the city......

These are several key pieces of information that Jiang Wujian extracted from Zheng Xinghe's words.

Especially when talking about the underground river, Jiang Wujian couldn't help but think of the strange ancient tomb before, and there was also an underground river in that ancient tomb.

Judging from the flow of water at that time, the volume of this underground river was very large......

When Jiang Wujian was thinking about these things, Jiang Zhiyu and Cao Li on the side looked at each other and thought of each other.

But this matter also involved the idea of roe deer owls, so Jiang Wujian did not speak, and the two of them would definitely not take the initiative to mention it.

After a while, Jiang Wujian raised his eyes to look at Zheng Xinghe and asked, "What is the matter with the water ghost you are talking about?" Since there are water ghosts, why do you have to open the floodgates to release water after Chongyang? ”

Zheng Xinghe scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Many people disappeared when the canal was built, and later they all became drifters, just in Naliu Lake. ”

"And every time, there will be a woman's cry in Liuhu, some people even see a woman in white floating on the lake, and some people even say that the water in Liuhu is not water, but blood! Coupled with the fact that the fortifications were not smooth, there was naturally a saying of water ghosts. ”

"During this period, I also invited a lot of masters, but to no avail, until not long ago, a Taoist master who traveled here came to help, and then he accepted the water ghost and solved the urgent need of the lower officials."

Li Changfeng looked displeased and said, "This kind of thing, why don't you report it to Fengtiansi?" ”

"Hehe......"

Zheng Xinghe sneered: "Fengtiansi has already helped Baiyue City find a water source, if everything has to be done by Fengtiansi, then what is the use of the county guard?" ”

"Then do you know if something goes wrong in this matter, can you keep the position of the county guard?" Li Changfeng asked sharply.

The two of them started with a sentence of you and a sentence of me.

Zheng Xinghe apologized and complimented, while Li Changfeng was only angry because he didn't report the evil matter to Fengtiansi.

Just as the two of them were spitting around, Jiang Wuji, who had cleared up some of his thoughts, opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Zheng, you just said that there were originally several villages in Liuhu, right?" ”

Zheng Xinghe nodded and replied, "Lord Hui, yes." ”

"What about the people in the village?"

"Naturally, I moved somewhere else, and my lord asked what was going on?"

Jiang Wuxi didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Is there a subsidy?" ”

"That's nature."

"What is subsidized? Where are those people now? ”

"Master Jiang, what exactly do you want to say?"

"All you have to do is answer my question."

"This, this ......" Zheng Xinghe's face turned red, and a lot of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing this, Jiang Wujian knew that his conjecture was right.

This goods embezzled the demolition money issued by the imperial court......

Jiang Wujian patted Li Changfeng on the shoulder and said, "Regarding the matter of the water ghost in Liuhu, Lord Zheng didn't want to report it to Fengtiansi, but he didn't dare to report it. ”

Li Changfeng stared at Zheng Xinghe and didn't speak.

According to the urine nature of this world, Jiang Wujian said with a calm face: "In addition to embezzling official silver, Lord Zheng should have killed a lot of people, right?" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Xinghe was stunned at first, and when Li Changfeng slapped his ink sword on the table, the latter was directly paralyzed by fright and sat on the ground, trembling all over.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zheng Xinghe said with a panicked expression: "No, no, I didn't, I didn't kill anyone!" It's them who don't leave, and it has nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me! ”

"It's those untouchables who want to die, and I'm doing all this for Baiyue City! It's all for Baiyue City! ”

"Please two adults Mingjian, two adults Mingjian!"

Jiang Wuji kicked away Zheng Xinghe, who was holding his right leg, and then looked at Li Changfeng with a smile and said.

"The county guards harm the people, and Liuhu is haunted by the water, but you Fengtiansi don't know, and it seems that Fengtiansi is not as solid as the top and bottom."

Hearing this, Zhu Yao on the side puffed out his cheeks and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! ”

As for Li Changfeng, his face was already pale, and he couldn't wait to directly cut the fat pig kneeling on the ground with a sword!

But Jiang Wujian knew that Li Changfeng's anger was not because of the people who died in vain, because he had no mercy.

His anger should come from Zheng Xinghe's corruption, and someone in Fengtiansi deliberately concealed this matter!

The atmosphere was a little tense, but he Jiang Wujian didn't care about these things, so he said: "I just casually mentioned it, Lord Li should go back and deal with these things, it's better to go to Liuhu Lake for now." ”

As soon as the words fell, a cry came from outside the courtyard.

"Lord Zheng, the lifting of the great god has begun."
