Hangzhou, which later became the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was even more dilapidated, and it really didn't look like a place for the government to work. In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1071), Su Shi went to Hangzhou to serve as a general judge (equivalent to the deputy mayor), and found that the houses of the state government were "all tilted, and there was a fear of overwhelm every day". Hangzhou was the capital of Wu Yue during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, when "the official houses are all precious and giant trees, known as majestic", but after entering the Song Dynasty, "more than 100 years, the lawsuit is not able to repair, and can not bear to be demolished into a hut, the wind and rain rot, the day will be ruined". The magistrate had no choice but to work and live in this "decadent" state office. Su Shi served as a general judge in Hangzhou for three years, and moved to another state at the end of his term, during which he failed to repair the state government.

This is also the later practice of "officials do not repair the government", which continued to the later Ming and Qing dynasties.

Although the old practice of "officials not repairing the government" had various drawbacks, such as the habit of causing local officials to follow the rules and get by, it was even more "abnormal" to be dilapidated to the point of collapse like the Hangzhou official office. However, there is no doubt that the traditional governing philosophy behind the "government does not repair the government" is sympathetic to the people's wealth and people's strength, and that the education budget is ranked before the government repair project.

Just like the things of this big lake village, haunted, haunted......

No matter which dynasty it is, it will not be promoted. Officials usually procrastinate, drag their term of office, and then pass it on to the next one. And the next term will hide until the end of his term. Anyway, this is the problem of the previous term, not theirs.

From their point of view, they can't handle it, so they don't deal with it anymore, and when it ends naturally, there's nothing wrong with it.

Just like the attitude of some officials towards the disaster. Basically, you can hide it until you can't hide it anymore.

It's not that they have any intrigues, it's just that they prefer a "peaceful and prosperous world" without disease and disaster than to find and solve problems.

If nothing happens, they are all good comrades of Jiayou. Once something happens, if they can evaluate the mean, they are already in the middle of the court.

What the hell is this, what kind of demon appears, this is a more serious problem than a natural disaster.

Confucianism talks about the way of a gentleman, and the road is not left behind. But now, don't say that the road is not left behind, even the demons and monsters have come out.

What are you trying to do? Do you want to smear the big guy?

The Great Song Dynasty is a scholar and a doctor in the world. Are you trying to say that the bigwigs have a problem in power?

Cultivating a ya, Su Shi is so famous, but he didn't succeed. As soon as the demons and monsters come out, basically this magistrate can be sentenced to death.

The Great Song Dynasty just doesn't kill civil officials, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't toss. Assign to a remote place, and you will be confessed for a lifetime.

"If this is true. The Judge must impeach them for their inaction. ”

After hearing about Dahu Village, everyone understood that this estimate might be true. Bao Zheng even wanted to impeach officials for their inaction.

That's his nature. He doesn't care what the reasons the officials have, or what the unspoken rules are.

In this case, the poor people will not be able to talk. So they cleaned up.

Fortunately, only one room is broken, and the other rooms are all in good condition. It's just some moisture, moldy moss. Sweep it, light it on the fire, and the room will be warm.

However, the room was warmer, but as the night fell, a ghostly atmosphere became stronger.

The village is like a ghost village, shrouded in yin energy.

With the appearance of this yin qi, they are constantly dispersed, gathered, twisted, and terrifying. The moon was obscured by the influx of black clouds, revealing only a faint halo of darkness from behind the thick clouds. The wind swayed high in the treetops, making a slow, slamming sound. It looks like a sea of desert-like trees moving overhead, setting off the quiet night. In the wind, you can clearly feel the meaning of the arrival of yin qi, a little bit of it, suspended in the air, it is dew or ice chips, it is not clear, but when it touches the skin, it will arouse a small goosebump.

"Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

The poor people were puzzled, and the fire was closer.

"Your Excellency. There was not much food to eat in the village. Only some fish and shrimp. At this time, Old Man Luo took Murakami to offer fish and shrimp.

This dedication, whether it is Bao Zheng or not, Gongsun Ce and Wang Dynasty Ma Han all looked at Shen Shi.

Is there a problem with this fish and shrimp?

Didn't they say at the beginning, when there were no demons and monsters in this lake, the fish and shrimp were plump, the aquatic products were abundant, and the supply to Bianjing could be said to be in short supply. As a result, the villagers of Dahu Village are able to catch a lot of fish every year, and they are relatively wealthy, but since a few years ago, they have not been able to fish.

So, here's the problem. Where did the fish and shrimp come from in a village where there is no way to fish?

Shen Shi looked at the fish and shrimp brought by the villagers of Dahu. It's real fish and shrimp, very fresh, even fresh from the lake.

There is no problem in sending people to kill fish and remove their gall, or to roast or boil them.

The only problem is the villagers.

"You're saying they're ghosts? they're dead? yes, they've had no income for a few years, they're going to die. Listening to Shen Shi's words, Gongsun Ce judged.

Shen Shi didn't answer, but looked at Bao Zheng.

Whether it is a human or a ghost, Bao Zheng is more professional.

Bao Zheng groaned: "If they are dead, they are ghosts." Then during the day, and the sun, they shouldn't dare to come out. ”

Bao Zheng didn't say what they were, but talked about his understanding of ghosts, and then asked Shen Shidao, "What do you see?"

Shen Shi shook his head. He could see the yin qi and ghost qi on the villagers, and he could even say that he couldn't see the anger they should have, but it was really too early to say that they were ghosts.

This village is so quirky.

Shen Shi thought about it for a while and started talking to the village elder again.

"That day was terrible, the dark clouds were black and oppressive, the lightning flashed and thundered, the wind blew very strongly, the roofs were lifted, but there was no rain falling, such a strange weather old man I have never seen in my life, how can there be dry thunder, no rain. ”

Old man Luo was holding a bowl of fish soup, foaming at the stars, and he looked a little excited: "This situation lasted for a full day and a night, and everything calmed down the next day." ”

He clearly enjoys storytelling. If someone listens, it's even more important to play it.

"But after that day, the big lake in the village came out of youkai. ”

"I remember that the first to have an accident was Zhang Xiaoqi, he was an expert in fishing in the village, and he could use his hands to grasp it. Fishing on the lake, I heard from the people on the fishing boat nearby that a huge wave suddenly appeared on the lake and overturned the boat, and Zhang Xiaoqi disappeared in a blink of an eye...... At first, I thought it was just an accident, but I didn't know that more and more people died later. Everyone said it was haunted. Later, someone was sent, and the monk and Taoist priest were also invited. According to them, there is a huge black fish in the lake. This is the son of the dragon king, and here he is punished. It's not a demon, so they can't get rid of it. ”
