Chapter 257: I will not let you fall into the mud
Jiang Fuguang was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth: "Why?" ”
Isn't that what he asked for? Why did he say he was not happy when the opportunity came?
"I don't want to make you fall into the mud." Ji Ruxuan's eyes were dark.
"Half and half choices have always been the most dilemma, no matter which decision it is, it is a big gamble," Jiang Fuguang suddenly didn't dare to look into his eyes, she lowered her head, "I just made the choice that I thought was right." ”
"Didn't you think about yourself at all?" Ji Ruxuan asked in a hoarse voice.
"I have thought about it," Jiang Fuguang chuckled, "From the moment I stood on the embankment, I thought that the order of the small diversion was wrong, and His Majesty wanted to condemn him, and if I exposed the Hou of Cheng Anhou as a guilty person, the courtiers would think that I framed the Hou of Cheng An in order to shirk my responsibility and slander the officials of the court, and the crime would be increased by one degree." ”
No one will believe her words anymore, because she is guilty, and all the evidence she has collected cannot be used as evidence in court to testify against Cheng Anhou.
Qi Dang will also be severely suppressed by the Cheng'an Hou family, and no one can help her.
She will bear the consequences of all the disasters.
"The Hou Mansion of Cheng'an will get away with it." She sighed softly.
"In that case, why are you ......" Ji Ruxuan's throat choked.
"Therefore, I plan to hand over the evidence to Wen Yiqian, and he will secretly present it to His Majesty." Jiang Fuguang continued.
Ji Ruxuan sneered: "So what, in addition to being a father, he is also the son of heaven, the small diversion has expanded the disaster, at this time Your Majesty has taken out these evidence, and the courtiers will also think that this is Your Majesty's selfishness and wants to shield you, but it will help the prestige of Cheng'an Hou, and the establishment of the reserve is unresolved, and the hearts of the people in the government and the opposition are fluctuating, and it gives them the opportunity and excuse to establish the reserve." ”
Therefore, even if the evidence of Cheng'anhou's destruction of the embankment is in the hands of His Majesty, he will not make it public.
will not give Jiang Fuguang justice.
"You're right," Jiang Fuguang didn't refute, but said, "Cheng'anhou's pride is only temporary, and His Majesty will make a fuss about the next private salt matter, which will lead to the destruction of the embankment." ”
The evidence of smuggling obtained from Wang Youcai was enough to drag Cheng'an Hou into the water.
"But it will take a long time, it will be too late...... "You yourself have taken all the responsibility for the disaster, and you have fallen from heaven into the mud."
Even if the truth is revealed one day, you will bear everything, and all the guilt that should not be borne by you.
"I know." She said.
Ji Ruxuan's hands trembled.
"Xin'an County still has a chance," she said softly, "I know that there is still a chance, but in order to protect my own interests, I can't give up this side of the water and soil." ”
"This side of the water and soil, generations of people have given birth to many people, this side of the people are industrious and simple, they have been harvesting mulberry, raising silkworms, weaving, farming, paying taxes, and serving for generations, how much contribution has they made to the Southern Dynasty, how can they be discarded?"
"How can you bear it?"
"Okay," Ji Ruxuan let go of his hand, "I'll help you." ”
"Jun Xuan!" Jiang Fuguang raised his head suddenly, but was scalded by his blazing gaze.
"I will not let you fall into the mud," Ji Ruxuan said softly, "The potion that Wang Youcai destroyed the embankment before can achieve the goal of destroying the embankment quickly." ”
Wang Youcai originally planned to destroy another embankment, so he prepared enough potions and hid them in the secret room of the widow's house, which is currently in the county office.
"I didn't expect that this was originally something that was going to harm me," Jiang Fuguang chuckled, his eyes a little desolate, "but now it has done me a great favor." ”
Ji Ruxuan didn't speak.
"Before, I was only five points sure, but with the potion of destroying the embankment, I can add another two percent." Jiang Fuguang smiled, "Even God is on my side." ”
Ji Ruxuan walked out under the umbrella, turned around and walked into the rain curtain, and found Wen Yiqian, who was arranging a small diversion not far away.
Jiang Fuguang held an umbrella and looked at his slender figure, in the dim rain curtain, like a craggy mountain rock, it was so solid and tough.
She was suddenly not afraid.
Yue Ting took the garrison army and went to several villages in the small diversion to evacuate the people.
There are mountains all around, and the evacuation is quick.
Ji Ruxuan and Wen Yiqian led the garrison and the villagers, found the best location, and began to dig and divert the raging river water to nearby villages, reducing the pressure on the embankment and lowering the water level.
At night, the dam water level dropped to a safe position.
The villagers cheered, and they all collapsed from exhaustion.
Jiang Fuguang's body was weak for a while, and a batch of sacks happened to be sent to the dam, and the garrison soldiers were busy packing the bags, and they didn't dare to be careless.
Ji Ruxuan and Wen Yiqian have not yet returned.
They led people to guard the weir mouth, keeping an eye on the water level at any time, and once the water level crossed the safety line and there was an uncontrollable tendency, they would immediately break the mouth and divert the water.
However, in the middle of the night, the water level rises sharply again.
Jiang Fuguang inspected the dam, looked at the drawings of the embankment, and pointed to one place: "At this execution port, another small diversion will be carried out." ”
Wen Yiqian persuaded: "Eldest princess, the heavy rain is still falling, the water level is still rising, and another small diversion can only last for three or four hours at most, in case the rain intensifies, it will be too late to carry out another large diversion." ”
"The first time the small diversion flooded three villages, this time it will flood five villages," Jiang Fuguang closed his eyes and said in a dumb voice, "Go ahead and do it!" ”
Wen Yiqian had no choice.
After the second small diversion, the water level dropped again, but the villagers were not happy, and continued to build embankments and block the weir mouth, hoping that the next time the water level rose, they could hold on for a little longer.
Time ticked by.
June 13th, the hour of the hour.
It's dawn.
Jiang Fuguang had been on the dam for a day and two nights, and the water level had begun to rise again after two hours of continuous decline.
As soon as the water level rises above the safety line again, she will order the evacuation of all villagers, away from the dam, and order a large diversion.
The heart is no longer suffering and pressure all the time.
Jiang Fuguang looked up at the sky, the rain was still falling, not decreasing, not increasing, it was these rains, along the waterways that extend in all directions, kept converging into a stream, flowing into the Huigang Dam, flooding.
Li Zheng came over to persuade her: "Eldest princess, go and rest for a while, natural disasters are ruthless, if the dam is flooded, it is also God's fault that God does not open his eyes, not the eldest princess." ”
Wang Dagui also came over to persuade her: "Eldest princess, if you drown, you will be drowned, we believe in you." ”
Qin Jiangzhou also said: "Eldest princess, you have done your best, you should have a good rest, recuperate, and meet the more cruel disasters in the future, hundreds of thousands of people in Xin'an County rely on you." ”
“……”
Everyone was trying to persuade her.
Jiang Fuguang suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness all over her body, her feet staggered slightly, and the whole person spun around.
"Eldest princess......" exclaimed from all around.
Can't faint, can't faint, Jiang Fuguang bit his tongue hard, and said weakly: "I, I'm fine, help me sit, sit down." ”
