After a night of thinking, Tang Jianqiu already had an answer in his heart.

I'm not sure, but I'm glad that there's a guess now, and it's best if I can deduce from it.

However, Tang Jianqiu, who lived in the post house, pushed open the door, only to see Fang Xiaoyu running towards him.

"My lord! Good news, the rain has stopped! ”

Fang Xiaoyu didn't even have time to rest, and hurriedly reported this important matter to Tang Jianqiu.

"It's also a good thing to convene all local officials to deal with the floods, especially the prosecutor and the governor of the river, and they must not be absent!"

Tang Jianqiu remembered that Qiao Yunsheng had experience in this area, and if they could come with him, they might be able to deal with this disaster earlier.

It was the second year of the Apocalypse, when Qiao Yunsheng was free, he led the crowd to build the Yonglai Dike of the Yellow River to protect the villagers on the riverbank, and he was sure that Qiao Yunsheng would do better than himself.

Tang Jianqiu borrowed the token of the Beizhen Fusi Zhen Fu Envoy to him, because he knew that Fang Xiaoyu was only a hundred households, and if he didn't rely on it, he was afraid that they would be dissatisfied;

"Yes!"

Fang Xiaoyu clenched his fists and left, and then rushed to the notification as fast as he could.

After that, Tang Jianqiu decided to go to the local county government in person, because there was one thing he hadn't figured out yet;

……

Until the next day, after Tang Jianqiu came to the Shimen County Ya, the Shimen County Commander immediately changed his attitude, and his way of speaking was also polite, for fear of offending Tang Jianqiu.

"Why does Lord Tang have time to come to the county office? Come in. ”

"There are still some incomprehensions about this flood in this town, and I hope that the county will make adults solve their doubts." Tang Jianqiu said in an ordinary tone, but it was such words that made Shimen County Ling break out in a cold sweat.

The Shimen County Commander was flattered, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Lord Tang, don't say that, isn't it a humiliation?" ”

"Then there is Lord Lao County to lead the town in."

"That's natural, Lord Tang, please."

"Please."

Under the leadership of Shimen County Order, Tang Jianqiu walked in.

He was not restrained, and sat down under the greeting of the Shimen County Order.

Just now, Tang Jianqiu noticed that this Shimen County Order seemed to be a little unnatural, as if there was something annoying, and he actually made a joke:

"Lord County Commander, you don't need to be nervous, this town can't help but have a few questions I want to ask you here, and I won't eat people, do you say yes or no?"

Although Tang Jianqiu said it as usual, it was no less than a medium pushed into the abyss for the Shimen County Order, which made him panic.

"Yes, yes, what the adults said is extremely true, it is that the lower officials are too worried, and if the adults have any questions, just ask."

Shimen County Ling was in a cold sweat, as if under huge pressure, he tried his best to resist the urge to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Since this town has been ordered to investigate the flood case, he has not been involved in the affairs of this river, so I hope that the county magistrate can help more."

Seeing Tang Jianqiu speaking so politely, the Shimen County Commander was a little uncomfortable for a while, but he quickly reacted, and hurriedly said: "Lord Tang is laughing, if the adult needs to be lowered, he will do his best!" ”

"In that case, Lord Prefectural, why don't you tell me frankly?"

Tang Jianqiu's very casual words made the heart of Shimen County Commander mention, so that he was a little uncomfortable.

"My lord, what do you mean by that? Xia Guan didn't understand. ”

What Tang Jianqiu said just now was just to test this Shimen County Order, but he didn't expect him to have such a redundant action, so it was either out of weakness or something to hide.

Tang Jianqiu already had three points of certainty in his heart, and then glanced at the Shimen County Order sitting in the seat, and his tone was calm:

"Judging from your appearance, you must have been in office in this stone gate for many years, although it is not at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but you also know the rivers in this place well, I don't know what this Zhenfu said is right?"

"This ......"

Shimen County Commander's eyes dodged, obviously with the intention of evasion, and it was such an unintentional action that made Tang Jianqiu more determined.

"As a local county magistrate, you are a thief with a weak heart or you have something important to hide, if you have nothing to do, it is hard to believe it."

Tang Jianqiu has always been used to speaking straightforwardly, and it would be difficult for him to hold it like this all the time, so it would be better to spit it out.

"This ...... Lord Tang, the lower official ......"

The Shimen County Commander was about to open his mouth to explain, but was stopped by Tang Jianqiu, and he made a move to stop.

"Lord County Commander, now that the Shimen flood has destroyed the wealth of hundreds of people, Your Majesty is heartbroken, so I will find out the cause and find out the culprit.

If you don't report it, in the future, this town will find out the truth, and this town will be included in the list of corrections and punishments! ”

Tang Jianqiu listed all kinds of criminal evidence in Shimen County's order, and wanted to do both soft and hard, but he still pretended to be confused.

Shimen County Ling was in a cold sweat, and he wanted to hide it, but under the pressure of Tang Jianqiu, he had to tell all kinds of stories about the case.

"Since Lord Tang was sent by His Majesty to investigate the fraud, it is natural that he can't hide it from Lord Tang."

If the other party is a civil official, he can still fight him with his mouth, but this guy is a martial artist with brute strength, and if he really makes a move, he is afraid that he will suffer.

"The prefectural magistrate is not quick to say."

Tang Jianqiu still has a certain amount of patience now, and his tone is relatively friendly.

The Shimen County Commander bowed down to show respect, "Yes, according to the knowledge of the lower officials, the blockage of the river is the main cause of the flood. ”

"Oh? How so? This Shimen River is dredged every year, is it the responsibility of negligence? ”

That's all he can think of at the moment, although he doesn't know much about the river, but he has some grasp of this.

"Not really, that's because the river has narrowed!"

Shimen County Ling was heartbroken, and his tone of voice was also a little helpless, as if there was a biggest stone pressing on his heart, and he couldn't breathe.

After hearing this, Tang Jianqiu's eyebrows flashed with incomprehension, and he was puzzled: "The river is narrowing? Although this town Fu doesn't understand the reason, it's the first time I've heard of the narrowing of this river, so you can tell it carefully. ”

"Don't hide it from my lord, most of the middle reaches of this place are all the mansions of rich businessmen and magnates, but in order to boast of their wealth and compete for the long and short, most of the mansions in this stone gate have built buildings and water pavilions, so they occupy the river!"

Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu slapped the table angrily, the anger in his heart was like a dam collapsing, he couldn't bear it anymore, he hadn't been so angry for a long time.

"Nonsense! It is really unreasonable to ignore the lives of the people for the sake of luxury for a while! How many places does this occupy in the Shimen River? ”

The more Tang Jianqiu thought about it, the more angry he became, no matter what the identity of that person was, or what his purpose was, he would punish that guy according to the law!

The Shimen County Commander thought for a moment, and then said truthfully; "There are about 30 places, and they don't usually have any impact.

But now the heavy rains have caused the river to swell and block the flow of water in the middle reaches, causing the water level to rise upstream, which caused the levee to burst. ”

"Is that what really caused the floods?"

It's not that he doesn't believe in the Shimen County Order's ability to handle cases, and if that's the case, it's also possible.

Shimen County Ling nodded, this time he didn't dare to lie anymore, because he knew what kind of person Tang Jianqiu was, it was even more terrifying than a man-eating demon!

"That's right, as for the use of lowly materials, I have also sent someone to check, and there is no suspicion of cutting corners, and the establishment of the building water pavilion is the main reason for the heavy rain in Shimen County."

Tang Jianqiu's eyebrows lowered, and while thinking, he put his eyes elsewhere, so he brought out the doubt in his heart:

"There is one thing that the town can't understand, this rainy season happens every year, and even heavy rain is a common thing, but there are not a few tragedies caused by the establishment of a water pavilion without permission, as for the reason for this, more detailed?"

"If you go back to your lordship, this building and water pavilion are all newly built."

The more he talked about the back, the more pressure he put on, and it was because of this that he couldn't talk about it.

"So, what is the capacity of the river? Is the flow of water blocked? Even if you, as the local county magistrate, don't know about it, you should contact the local water superintendent, everything is under control, how can you approve the expansion of the cover? ”

This is what Tang Jianqiu really can't understand, no matter who or what identity it is, it needs to be approved, and why is it so if you know the stakes?

"What's really distressing is that those new expansions haven't been sent for review at all!"

Tang Jianqiu couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this, he got up from his seat as soon as he "soared", and his voice became a little louder.

"Isn't that illegal private construction? If this is the case, why not force demolition in accordance with the law? Conniving at illegality is a crime of dereliction of duty, and the county magistrate wants to defy the law? ”

Tang Jianqiu's words undoubtedly sentenced Shimen County to death, how could he withstand such a fright? Begging for mercy again and again:

"My lord! Don't dare! It's just that those who illegally build privately have backers behind them, or rich businessmen who have good friends with each other, and they really don't want to wade into this troubled water! ”

How could this be if it wasn't for power? There is a way that the official level crushes people to death, not to mention that there is more than one high-ranking official.

In this regard, Tang Jianqiu showed a disdainful attitude, he was a person who was not afraid of power.

"Heh, no matter what official position he is, he shouldn't ignore the laws and regulations of the imperial court!"

"The humble position is just a small order from Qipin County, how dare you fight against this high-ranking official in the court? This is undoubtedly an egg to hit a stone! ”

The Shimen County Commander could only vent his bitterness to Tang Jianqiu, and he couldn't help himself in many things.

Only then did Tang Jianqiu understand that the Shimen County Order was not a corrupt official who had lost his conscience, and he had a trace of pity for him.

“…… I understand what you mean, you also want to act in accordance with the law to demolish illegal buildings but don't dare to offend them, if you really have the heart to eliminate the cheats, you will help this town to deal with it and expose this matter! ”

"But isn't Lord Tang afraid of offending the powerful because of this?"

This is what Shimen County Commanders are currently concerned about, they are by no means ordinary officials.

Even if it is for the sake of Tang Jianqiu being an official, he will give some face, and he will hold a grudge because of it.

Tang Jianqiu really didn't care, "How can this town come to investigate the fraud on the order of the Holy Lord, but how can it not be based on the truth?" Even if you offend the powerful because of this, what is there to fear?

Even if you lose this black yarn because of this, you must deal with this matter! But I still have to bother you to put forward relevant supporting evidence, if something happens, this town will take care of it! ”

With Tang Jianqiu's words, Shimen County's mood is a lot better;

"That's natural, since Lord Tang said so, the officials are willing to lead the officers and soldiers in the palace to fully cooperate, and the courage of the adults is really admirable."

"The county magistrate has an overreputation." Tang Jianqiu said.

"In that case, how about sending someone to make a copy of the flood situation, and then send it to Lord Tang tomorrow?"

After all, this will also take a certain amount of time, and he knows that Tang Jianqiu is in a hurry to use it, so he can only sort it out as quickly as possible.

"That's good, then you're in for it."

"What you do is just a matter of duty, and you don't dare to work hard, so please wait patiently for Lord Tang."
