Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Jia Zheng was a little alert. Song He without Li Keba is indeed like an innocent lost domestic dog in need of warmth.

If you show a little more care at this time, you may be able to gain a "loyal dog".

But there is also a possibility that you will be bitten by a crazy stray dog. Each of these possibilities is half and half.

When people face grief, there are five stages, namely "denial, anger, negotiation, depression, and acceptance."

Yesterday, when Song He said coldly that human life is like a piece of grass, he already seemed to accept it. But at that time, his eyes had not yet turned blood red.

Whether these blood-red eyes were the product of anger or depression, it was obvious that they did not conform to the process of grief.

"Maybe, if God has mercy on him, maybe he will be clean after death."

Song He smiled bitterly and moved his hands to his arms.

"Mr. Jia was born into a wealthy family, so he must be different from us. Looking at your hands, you may not have touched anything besides the pen, right?"

Jia Zheng couldn't help but look at his hands. Indeed, the skin of these hands was like gelatin, softer than that of many women who worked hard. Even though there are traces of writing on the index finger and middle finger, the overall look is that of a "slender hand".

Looking at Song He's giant black hand that looked like iron, as if it could crush someone to death if it was stretched out, Jia Zheng took another step back.

He put his hands into his sleeves and looked at Song He more carefully.

"Rich or poor, life and death are the same. My son is slightly younger than you, and he has been gone for almost a year now. Before I went on a business trip, my daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and I still don't know whether the child is a boy or not. Where’s the girl?”

Listening to this, Song He couldn't help but feel sympathy. His hands were also removed from his body.

"It turns out that even rich people have unsatisfactory things. Then why, sir... This river is repaired every year. People usually build river embankments, but it's not as troublesome as your Excellency."

Jia Zheng followed Song He's eyes and looked at the fruits of his labor these days. He sighed in his heart and couldn't help but smile on his face.

"You also said that this river needs to be repaired every year. If it is not repaired properly one year, there will be a danger of flooding."

Jia Zheng couldn't help but tell Song He about his ideas on building river embankments, including the direction of the river, the impact of landform changes, the impact of rats in the fields on the river, etc.

He thought that this would not only help Song He get over his sadness earlier, but also help distract him. At the same time, he could use Song He's influence to persuade everyone to be more attentive when working.

After all, this is for a hundred years.

"If it is overhauled according to my idea, although there is no guarantee that it will not break down for a hundred years, it will be good if it can last for a few more years."

Seeing that Song He was listening seriously, Jia Zheng couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said:

"I know that you guys can be released from prison this year after you finish your work. Since the punishment is replaced by hard labor, you should practice more blessings. This is the real exemption!"

"I think you are a good man, born to achieve great things. Now that you have the idea of ​​​​reforming, you must stick to it. Even if Brother Li is really... bad, if you practice more blessings on his behalf, you can still get him to vote. A good tire."

Hearing this, Song He couldn't help but tremble. He looked into Jia Zheng's kind eyes and felt that it was Xiao Lizi who appeared in the sky to guide him.

The official must have guessed it!

"The master is a good official... but good people are not rewarded well."

Song He didn't even know what he was talking about. He was so confused now that he didn't know what to do.

Logically speaking, he is a bachelor, but now that Xiao Li, who was as close as a brother, is gone, isn't it the time to do whatever he wants? Why did he lose his mind and let others fool him?

"Sir, I have something important to report to you..."

As soon as he said this, the sound of gongs and drums came from the road beside him.

"Master Zhao is here."

Jia Zheng was speechless as he watched the pompous Zhaoxian Lieutenant being sent over by a team of people beating gongs and drums.

"We'll talk about your business later. I used you the day before yesterday, and now I have to say hello to him."

Jia Zheng greeted him.

The official rank of Lieutenant Zhao was much lower than that of Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng was an imperial envoy from the capital. Logically speaking, Jia Zheng could only wait for Lieutenant Zhao to come and pay his respects.

But Jia Zheng did not play by common sense. He was not honest in official circles and wine shops, and worked on the river with his own hands every day like a mud-legged man. This made the officials in Ludi look down upon him.

Being an official doesn't have any official authority, so it's no wonder that I haven't been promoted for so many years!

Although the county captain is not as good as Jia Zhengguan, he is a serious scientific examination. Being assigned to be an official in Ludi fully verified his academic qualifications.

Everyone knew that Jia Zheng was an official appointed by his ancestors, but they just thought that he had no real ability. I was so embarrassed that I didn't dare to get along with my colleagues.

Although Mr. Zhao is a minor official, he is not as good as the county magistrate. After receiving the hot potato thrown by Governor Li, Jia Qinqin, he really dared to take the air.

As a local official, he would never be promoted to the capital in eight lifetimes. Being able to protect your current boss is much better than flattering Jia Zheng.

Therefore, he is not afraid of Jia Zheng at all, and can still find fault with Jia Zheng.

"Your Majesty's previous actions were really difficult for me to do! When we built the river embankment in previous years, how many people were killed? Just because of a child, we wasted everyone's energy. If things were delayed, I can't afford to pay for it. "

County Lieutenant Zhao criticized Jia Zheng as soon as he arrived and questioned Jia Zheng's decisions. Finally, he cried repeatedly and asked Jia Zheng to change the changed system back.

"It's easy for your Excellency to change it. If you leave, where will the money for heating hot water come from? Your Majesty, this is making it difficult for me to be a low-ranking official!"

Jia Zheng had a headache from what he was talking about, and he couldn't say anything. Without good results, this really cannot be compared with their previous regulations.

Jia Zheng had to pull County Lieutenant Zhao to explain the benefits again, but how could Mr. Zhao listen?

He came to see the fun.

Chen San reported that Song He had already followed his request and had the idea of ​​​​taking action. As a local magistrate who specializes in criminal cases, doesn't he have to be at the first scene?

At that time, Song He took action and stabbed Jia Zheng to death. He could immediately order Song He to be arrested and brought to justice, and the murder would be silenced.

When the time comes, he will be both the presiding judge and the witness. All the personal and material evidence are there. Jia Zheng died in the line of duty, so his case can be clearly written.

While listening to Jia Zheng's words, he nodded; while secretly looking at Chen San Songhe, he thought why he didn't take action yet.

There were too many people involved in the river embankment matter, and as a small leader, he had no choice but to do it himself.

"What's going on! Brother Song, are you going to be a shrinking bastard again? Think about who will you live under in the future? How successful it is, the benefits are huge! Don't you want to be Song Yasi?"

Chen San received the message from Master Zhao and became anxious himself. He led people to surround Song He in a hidden place, and wanted to show him how powerful he was.
