Chapter 73: Teacher, Let's Go Home
The county government is sad and misty inside and outside.
The people who heard the news were all stopped outside, and their necks were stretched to look around.
In the lobby, the officials gathered, and they were talking to each other.
Wang Juren was in tears, and he was standing in front of Wang County's official robe.
In just a few days, he seemed to have been drained of most of his life, and there were a few more strands of gray hair on his sideburns.
Ye Lao, who was lying down, his purple fingers were still curled tightly, and the face that had been laughing and scolding had swelled and deformed.
He broke Ye Lao's hand and inspected it, and there was fine sand between the nails.
Ye Chongwen mourned, and a terrible cry came out of his voice: "Grandpa!" ”
He Qingxuan was also hit by five thunderbolts, trembling forward, and pounced on Ye Lao in disbelief, "Teacher......"
When the yacha informed them, they thought they were seeing a living person.
But I didn't expect it to be such a result!
Chen Ping hung his head and knelt on the ground, tears pouring out of his eyes.
After many days of salvage, it took a lot of manpower, but waiting for such a result was like a bolt from the blue.
Even if Chen Ping had been mentally prepared, his chest was still as if he had been beaten heavily, and he was suffocated and unable to breathe.
He knelt down to Ye Lao's side, his throat was sour in grief, and he felt an urge to repuls.
Obviously, a few days ago, there was a dragon and a tiger, and a person who carried a shovel to the ground.
How did you become like this in a blink of an eye?
"Teacher,"
Chen Ping grabbed Ye Lao's robe, "Teacher, you get up...... Get up! ”
But the old man lying there was stiff, his eyes were blood-red, and he lost the slightest bit of anger.
That arithmetic master, dedicated to the people, once treated him like a son, Mr. Ye.
Some of them are gone!
This nightmare scene made him unable to hold on any longer, howled, and finally cried out heartbreakingly.
The three of them trembled, and their hearts were extremely sad.
The immature and mournful voice made those who heard it weep and those who saw it sad.
Some of the officials in the hall couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Ye is really a pity, and the county lord is only afraid....... Alas. ”
"It's still too impulsive," the chief bookkeeper leaned his sleeves and leaned in, muttering in a low voice, "The children of my generation of officials and eunuchs, it takes ten years to make a small reputation, at least you have to survive before you can benefit the people." ”
"I heard that the county respected it to save the people. It's not worth it, aren't you carried away by last year's awards? ”
The colleague next to him glanced at him and lowered his voice, "I don't know if he's worth it, but we're really not worth it." ”
"Oh?" The master bookkeeper was slightly stunned and opened his eyes, "What do you say?" ”
"Do you need to ask?" The colleague gestured and said coldly: "Eighteen lives, who is on the head?" ”
"You and I have our own duties, we shouldn't have participated in this troubled water, we are all county officials who are in a hurry to slow down the people, and they want to fight for a reputation as a eunuch, so they forced us over."
"Ye Lao is the person in charge, and the county is the leader, and now they are dead and missing, and they are all gone. No one above us has a top, and the court is accountable, and it is not us who bear the brunt of the first thing? “
As soon as these words came out, the officials around them became nervous, and the face of the chief bookkeeper also changed.
"Even if the county is dead, isn't there still Huang Xiancheng above? How do you get our little ones? ”
"Huang Xiancheng? He had already resigned in public, although there was no official document, but he never touched this matter from beginning to end, and he might be hiding at home and snickering at this time. ”
"That'...... The compensation that the county zun said before, is it still compensated? ”
"That's what he said, it's none of our business, right? Even if it is compensated, it will have to be compensated by the Ye family and the people of the Wang family......"
Wang Xianling swore that all land damaged by the flood canal would be compensated.
Now that the dam has collapsed and the loss of farmland has not been mentioned for the time being, they may not be able to withstand the life lawsuit alone.
This money, even if the county government is hollowed out, may not be able to fill it.
The words of several people did not avoid suspicion, and they didn't realize that the eyes around them were staring at each other, and the atmosphere became very depressing.
At this time, Wang Juren stood up and reprimanded angrily.
"What are you talking about!"
"The county respects you very well, but now his life and death are unknown, and you don't want to find people, but you care about gains and losses here?"
"Master Tian, when you committed an accident that day, the county respected the net, did you forget!"
Wang Juren had a fiery temper and a fierce voice, and everyone present was stunned.
Tian Zhushu blushed, intending to bend over to dodge.
The officials were also indignant, glaring at the officials in disgust.
"Lord Wang is generous, and he has never treated you badly after working together for many years, and now that he has not found anyone, you are in a hurry to shirk your responsibility, it's too much!"
"That's it! Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the adults must still be alive! ”
Wang Juren has endured them for a long time, if it weren't for the pain of the three children, it is estimated that they would have done it.
Who would have thought that these people had no sympathy and hit the Ye family with their ideas.
Shameless!
Ye Lao worked hard to plug the gap in the ditch, and now the bones are not cold.
None of these people were moved in their hearts, and they still wanted the Ye family to bear the compensation of the people, is this still human?
The officials on the side did not relent: "Dean Wang is also a person, and there is an iron law above the officialdom!" It is common sense that if something goes wrong, someone must be held responsible. ”
Wang Xianling is not here, they are not afraid of this old man.
"We didn't say that the county lord must be dead, but there are indeed eighteen people outside, including people from our county government."
"There are still some people whose bodies have not been found anywhere, and if there is accountability from the higher-ups, how should we deal with them? Can you also learn from these little babies, and you can't bury your head and cry? ”
They stood there like a cold wall, without the slightest warm breeze.
But the faces of the officials were not good-looking.
Lord Wang is an upright official, but Su Ri's attitude is tougher, but he has never treated his subordinates harshly.
Now even though something really happened, but before the first seven arrived, one by one they spoke coldly and turned their faces and didn't recognize anyone.
It's chilling!
Everyone was angry and said one after another.
"It's not too late to talk about this matter in the future, it's important to find the adults first!"
"Yes, find an adult first."
The official looked indifferent, "Of course you have to find it, there are many people waiting outside to ask for money." ”
Wang Juren's face was dark, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the official.
Ye Chongwen's red eyes slashed towards the hall, and he wanted to say something but was held down by Chen Ping.
He Qingxuan, whose tears were still hanging on his face, smiled angrily, suddenly pushed everyone away and walked out directly.
Chen Ping's eyes swept over everyone coldly, stood up and said to Ye Chongwen, "Chongwen, let's send the teacher back first." ”
"The teacher is a reader, he loves to be clean, and he can't walk with mud and sand."
"We'll take him home."
Chen Ping's words made Ye Chongwen's heart slammed.
Yes, to take grandpa home, home......
"Chongwen!" He Qingxuan walked back with the servant, carrying the stretcher, and said heavily, "Let's go." ”
"Don't let the teacher look at these ruthless and unrighteous people."
"Teacher, let's go home!"
Ye Chongwen gritted his teeth and nodded, and carefully helped his grandfather's body onto the stretcher.
When the crowd was about to leave.
The official who had always spoken coldly suddenly glanced out.
In the crowd, a few people immediately walked out.
