Volume VI Chapter 8 Prefect

Su Zhuo didn't think much about it, and jumped into the water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 With both hands, he grabbed the two teenagers, threw them aside, and threw them to a slower part of the current. However, there were many people who fell into the water, and Su Zhuo could not save them all. In addition, the current was so strong that even he could barely stand.

Suddenly, a small boat sailed in front of him, and a man on the boat shouted, "Young man, get on the boat quickly!" and stretched out his hand to pull him.

Su Zhuo turned his head and saw that it was Qiu Gongren, the prefect of Licheng. He grabbed Qiu Gongren's arm and jumped into the boat.

Qiu Gongren pulled him onto the boat, and before he had time to speak, he first commanded the surrounding boats to rescue the person who fell into the water. After a while, more and more small boats came from outside the city, and the boats were standing with sergeants in iron armor. A young general was standing on a boat first, and suddenly saw several victims crowding into the boat, and shouted. With a snort, all the armor soldiers pulled out the steel knives at their waists.

When the victims saw this situation, they were shocked and did not dare to riot anymore. After this fright, the scene was immediately brought under control, and the officers and sergeants did not stop receiving the victims on the boat and transporting them to high places.

Qiu Gongren breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned back to Su Zhuo and said, "This young man, thanks to you!"

Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "Where, it's just a gesture!"

Qiu Gongren motioned to prop the boat to the side of the road, and the two climbed onto the roof of a shop on the street. Qiu Gongren asked, "I don't know what to call the young man?"

Su Zhuo took out the waist card again and said, "I am Liu Wentian, the head catcher of Chang'an Right Street!"

Qiu Gongren frowned, as if he had some impression of the name, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He asked, "It turned out to be Liu Zhutou, I don't know why you came to Licheng?"

Su Shu said: "Don't hide it from Governor Qiu, I came to Licheng to track down a case." This case is somewhat implicated with Cao Liyi, a member of the Ministry of Labor!"

He deliberately said Cao Liyi's name, and sure enough, when Qiu Gongren heard it, he was obviously taken aback, and asked, "What is involved?"

Su Zhuo pretended to hesitate and said: "We suspect that Cao Liyi has done something in the river embankment project!"

Qiu Gongren slapped his face and said angrily: "I guessed that this was the case! The water conservancy of the Yellow River began at the beginning of the year, and the embankments built were about 10 zhang wide, so how could they be so vulnerable and collapse as soon as they were rushed? Moreover, as soon as Cao Liyi heard that the Yellow River had burst, he disappeared. I think I knew that I couldn't escape the blame, so I hid!"

Cao Liyi disappeared, and Su Zhuo already knew. While the two were talking, the young general jumped up from the boat and landed on the roof where the two were standing. Su Zhuo was secretly shocked, the boat was several feet away from the roof, but this person was able to jump over, and his martial arts were really good.

Su Zhuo couldn't help but glance at the young general, only to see that he was about thirty years old, dressed in plain clothes, with hard eyebrows and heroic spirit. When Qiu Gongren saw him, he hurriedly saluted: "General Wei!" There seemed to be some fear of this person in his words.

The man let out an "um", looked at Su Zhuo, and asked, "Who is he?"

Qiu Gongren hurriedly introduced the two to each other: "This is Chang'an Liu Zhutou." Liu Zhutou, this is General Licheng Tunwei, General Wei Shengwei!"

Su Zhuo didn't recognize him, and bowed. Wei Sheng glanced at him, didn't raise his hand, and snorted in his nose, which was considered to have said hello. Su Zhuo didn't realize that he was so arrogant, and he was displeased, but he didn't want to say anything.

Wei Sheng said suddenly: "Licheng City is high, and the victims along Jishui and the Yellow River will inevitably flock here. Is Governor Qiu ready?"

Qiu Gongren said respectfully: "Yes, yes, the lower officials will do their best!"

Wei Sheng snorted and said, "This is the best, now that Cao Liyi is afraid of crime and absconding, the burden of disaster relief will fall on our heads!"

As soon as the words fell, three or five people in official uniforms supported them and ran closer. Qiu Gongren and Wei Sheng couldn't help frowning when they saw a few people. Those few people were like chickens in soup, and when they saw the two of them, they knelt down and said, "Wei ...... General Wei, Qiu Governor's ......"

Wei Sheng sneered and said, "Aren't you the little officials who follow Cao Liyi to control the water? Aren't you on the embankment along the river? I can't imagine that you can run fast!"

The men were too shaky to speak. Wei Sheng said loudly to Qiu Gongren: "Governor Qiu, this general still wants to command the Wei army to dredge the flood, and he has left!"

Qiu Gongren clasped his fists and saluted until Wei Sheng's figure disappeared. The little officials always knelt on the ground, not daring to speak. Qiu Gongren glanced at them and said coldly, "Where is Cao Liyi now?"

The people looked at each other and said, "Villain...... The villain has just escaped death, and I don't know where Lord Cao is......"

Qiu Gongren snorted and sneered, and said, "Then you naturally don't know about his corruption and bending the law, which led to the flood?"

Several officials knew that he was talking back, and they couldn't help but tremble and couldn't speak. Su Zhuo stood aside and thought secretly: "These people are Cao Liyi's subordinate officials, Cao Liyi's everything, they have to implement everything, why don't you know what Cao Liyi has done!"

One person said: "Governor Qiu's ...... What did Lord Cao do, villain...... The villain really doesn't know!"

Qiu Gongren snorted heavily, but there was no evidence at this time, and Cao Liyi himself could not be found. He was about to speak, when he heard a few people suddenly running not far away, so he ran and cried: "Lord Qiu, you want to be the master of the small people!"

Qiu Gongren glanced at the fat man running at the front, and immediately frowned. At this time, it was already completely dark, and Su Zhuo only saw a few fat black shadows running this way one by one, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a few businessmen dressed in silk and with big bellies.

One person ran forward, knelt in front of Qiu Gongren, hugged his legs, and cried: "Please Lord Qiu be the master for us......"

Qiu Gongren said impatiently: "You get up first, what happened?"

The man said, "My lord, just now a group of bandits came to the villain's house and opened the granary. Those grains of mine...... They were all snatched away by the homeless...... I beg your Excellency to send troops to arrest the bandits!"

Several people next to him also echoed it, either the granary at home was robbed, or the door of the rice shop cloth shop was opened, and the goods in the store were missing. Su Zhuo was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that Yan Linglong and they had already succeeded! As long as they were properly placed, these things could alleviate the urgent needs of the victims at the moment.

Qiu Gongren snorted, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Are there any dead or injured people?"

The man shook his head and said, "That's not true, those mud legs just grabbed some food......

Qiu Gongren said loudly: "Boss Hu, my manpower is now all in the disaster relief and resettlement of the victims, where is there anyone to take care of your home and nursing home? Besides, now that the Yellow River is overflowing, stretching for thousands of miles, there are more than 10 million victims. You don't want to use some of your savings to help people, but you still come to me to show you the door?"

Boss Hu and the others listened to the angry scolding, trembling, and didn't dare to say more. Su said clumsily: "Lord Qiu, these cases don't sound like robbery by disaster victims, but they seem to be organized by someone." I think it may be the act of the heroes of the rivers and lakes to rob the rich and help the poor......"

Qiu Gongren nodded, thinking deeply, although he was in the officialdom, he did not support such an approach, but he had no time to take care of it at the moment. He said to those people: "If you don't go back quickly, just protect your family." This time it can only be used as a financial disaster!"

Boss Hu heard him say this, where did he dare to say it again, but he left with a promise. Qiu Gongren turned around and saw that the few officials were still standing there, and his heart was even more irritable, and he scolded: "Now that the disaster has been completed, why don't you go to the disaster to rescue people quickly, what can you do standing here!"

A few people were busy and ran away as if they heard the holy decree. Su Zhuo couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "These people have a lot to do with it, so let them go, will it be fine?"
