Chapter 11 The Dry Bones of the River Banks

A magnificent bridge, spanning more than 500 meters, stood for many years, but was completely washed away and collapsed in the overnight flood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info used to be a bridge, now there is only a little residual bridge pier on the cliff on both sides, in addition to this, there is no longer anything.

The thick embankment, which seemed to be strong, was also washed away by the flood, and only a little bit of ruins and broken walls were carried away by the merciless flood.

Now that the flood has receded a lot, the river embankment has also been exposed, look at the traces of this washout, the ferocity of the flood, it is conceivable that all the obstructions have no effect at all, and the momentum of the flood is like a broken bamboo.

With such a surging flood, it is no wonder that the southwest flood is so severe, it is really shocking, and I feel a chill in my back when I think about it.

After carefully inspecting the bridge piers and embankments, he found that the materials used to build and repair the bridges were not up to standard, and they all cut corners. Now it seems that the embankment and the bridge are so vulnerable because the builders cut corners, so that the embankment has no ability to resist floods, and in the event of a flood, the embankment will collapse.

It is really hateful and angry that such a severe flood and so many innocent lives were caused by man. Wuwu's heart is full of anger, such a corrupt official who has lost his conscience, he must be brought to justice, so that he can be worthy of the dead soul.

Xi Yuan looked at Qian Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, has Master Li come here to investigate?"

Shu Qianxiao shook his head and said, "No, the flood has not receded at that time, and the river embankment has not been revealed, so it cannot be checked. ”

"Then how did Master Li find out that this was due to corruption?"

Su Qianxiao said: "After Lord Li came to Zhuqing, he went to visit people's homes everywhere, and it was because of this that Lord Li discovered this corruption, and Lord Li also had a confession left by the visit at that time, which can be used as evidence of corruption. ”

"And where is this confession now?"

"At that time, Master Li had already realized the seriousness of the matter, and he could not find out with his ability, and even if he did, he would not be able to do it, so at that time he was ready to use his death to attract the attention of the imperial court. He handed me the confession and said that the court would send someone to investigate the case in the future, and when the time came, I would give the confession to the person who investigated the case. ”

Carefree stared at the ruins of the bridge and said, "When was this bridge built?

Shu Qianxiao's eyes tilted upward, his right hand touched his right cheek, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It should have been cultivated ten years ago, and the river embankment and the bridge were built by the same engineer. ”

Wu Wu nodded and said, "Then where is this engineer now?

Shu Qianxiao shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, maybe the older people here will know." I think the Seventh Uncle Guild in my courtyard knows that he is a native of this place, has seen a lot of things, and has experienced a lot of things, he should know, and he will know when he goes back at night and asks. ”

Wuwu nodded slightly, and said, "Uncle Seventh is well-informed, and I still have to ask him for advice on many things in Zhuqing." Qianxiao, do you know that there is a treasure in Zhuqing? You have been in Zhuqing for ten years, have you heard of the legend of treasure or ancient tomb?"

Shu Qianxiao shook his head again and again, and said, "I've never heard of this, what's the matter, there is still a treasure in this Zhuqing? Where did you hear about it?"

Carefree pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "I just remembered a strange thing, so I just asked." ”

A few people probed and walked downstream. After walking for a while, I saw many people watching the landslide in front of me. Worry-free and the others had doubts, so they walked quickly to see what was going on.

When Wuwu and the others got closer, they saw a white bone on the ground, which seemed to be revealed because of the landslide, and the white bone should have been buried in the soil, because the flood caused the landslide, and the white bone slid down with the soil. Next to the white bones, there was also a white-haired octogenarian who had a frightened expression, as if he had been frightened, and passed out. There was also a woman next to her, examining the bones.

Wuwu looked at an official in official uniform next to him, and it seemed that he should be a yamen head catcher.

Worry-free like the passing Qianxiao made a look, and the passing Qianxiao understood, stepped forward and saluted like the head catcher, and said with a smile: "Wu Zhutou, what's going on? How could Master Wen faint on the ground?"

It turned out that the one who fell to the ground was the master of the prefect's yamen, Mr. Wen, who treated people very well and had great prestige and reputation in the yamen.

Wu Zhutou saw that it was the death of Qianxiao, and the two were also old acquaintances, so he said: "Just now the old master and I came to investigate the disaster, and suddenly found this white bone, and the old master Wen found something on the white bone, and his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly screamed, and fainted. ”

Worry-free hurriedly said: "What did he exclaim?"

"Oh my God, retribution, retribution, this is the sky that wants to destroy my Zhuqing!"
