Ying Tianchang

On the second day, Shen Yue went to Ludi and took up the post of Department of River Transportation.

Half a month later, the war between Daying and Witz resumed, and Ren Hui went out to fight in response.

Everyone knows that river transportation is the most expensive item in the national economy and the people's livelihood. In the past ten years, Yingguo has built rivers every day and broke its embankment every year. .

On the one hand, it was blocked by continuous rain and natural disasters, and on the other hand, it was also a man-made disaster. It stands to reason that this money is enough to keep one side safe even if it is used to pack baskets and build embankments. Officials at all levels, like termites in the levee, forcibly emptied this defense line of people's livelihood from the inside.

It was the midsummer flood season at this time, and there were already tens of thousands of deaths and injuries caused by waterlogging in Shandong Province. Shen Yue's appointment this time was to make minimum repairs to the dilapidated embankment before the autumn flood.When leaving Beijing, Shen Yue sat in a sedan chair, but every mile away from the capital, there were more beggars on the side of the road, and when the group of people left the Zhili border, the two sides of the official road were full of disaster victims and starving people everywhere. .Passers-by along the way were all sallow and emaciated, sick and boned, surrounded by mosquitoes and flies, and some even picked up Guanyin soil to exchange babies with the victims.Shen Yue pretended to be ruthless, but he couldn't stand it any longer. He left An Sheng and his servants to help the victims, took An Sheng and galloped on horseback, and went straight to Jining without a moment's rest.

……

Standing at the gate of Liangyuan No. 1 Mansion in Jining, which was temporarily requisitioned by the Department of River Transport, Shen Yue stroked the bald head of a white marble lion, with a sinister sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth. "An Sheng, I always thought that the darkest corrupt official in the Daqing Dynasty was in my house, but today I suddenly discovered that we are still a frog at the bottom of the well."

After several days of traveling, Shen Yue was not only tanned, but his chubby body was also haggard. Coupled with his gloomy expression and sarcasm, he looked like Ren Hui.

An Sheng was scraping the gold-plated nails on the vermilion-lacquered door, and shrank his neck coldly when he heard this, young master, you are too...so sincere.An Sheng grinned in unison, looked around enviously at the glazed tiles on the top of the wall, looked at the stone lion, and praised, "It seems so. Master, the lion's head in front of our house is not so big, nor is it so beautiful. "

Shen Yue smiled softly: "Why don't you take off the lion's head and send it back to the master, so that he can find someone to beat it like that?"

"Okay!" An Sheng was waiting for this sentence. He was very depressed by the situation on the road for the past two days. Seeing the rich and noble atmosphere of this rich family compound, he was even more upset. Slashing the lion's neck with a horizontal hand, the huge stone lion's head flew out three feet in the air!An Sheng rushed out diagonally, and with a soft cover of his sleeve, he brought the lion's head back!He turned his heels around and hugged the stone, "Master, I took it off, who can I give it to?"

Shen Yue pointed casually, "It's up to you, send it to Yuechun Shen Shangshu's residence, don't send it to the wrong place, it's missing a lion's hair, be careful with your head!"

The person who was targeted was the personal bodyguard of the governor of Heyun, and he was sending the supervisor out for the governor. Who would have thought that he would meet such two plague gods, but he was so frightened by the scene just now——Shen Yue showed his waist card early, He didn't dare to resist the chief, he hurriedly waved his hands, "I, I'm just a little guard, I don't know anything..."

An Sheng smiled and threw the lion's head in front of him, without even splashing any stone chips, "Don't worry, my young master is here to repair the embankment, not to manage people. You have enough money to get to the capital, so hurry up and let the air flow." I won’t bother you with reporting the letter.”

The guard stammered and waited to say more, and couldn't turn his head for a moment. The new director was obviously still on the way, so why did he suddenly arrive at his door?Seeing that he was panicking, An Sheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder. The guard fell to the ground in fright, "I'll move it right away and hit the road now!" He said and squatted down to move the lion head. He had practiced kung fu for a few days anyway. He just became a guard of the Governor's Mansion, so he exhaled and spoke quite imposingly, but his face was flushed and he couldn't get up, so he was very embarrassed.An Sheng looked pitiful, sighed and said, "Don't panic, move slowly."

"An Sheng, let's go." Shen Yue looked indifferently, with his sleeves turned back, he strode in.An Sheng stuck out his tongue, took the burden to follow, and said to himself: "The young master was already in a bad mood, but now it's even worse. Governor, you have no choice but to sacrifice yourself to save the people..."

Shen Yue never gave him this chance.

When he entered the flower hall, the governor Zhang Zhiqing didn't know which concubine's room he was hiding in. Shen Yue was just one of his subordinates at this time. Although he came to inspect on behalf of the Holy Majesty, he was just a mere boy, why should he be nervous?Zhang Zhiqing deliberately wanted to give the visitor a bad start, so even though he could hear the servant rushing back, he took a bath and changed his clothes leisurely, and did not appear until after two sticks of incense.

Shen Yue stood in the hall for a long time, feeling a little dry in his heart.A few servants brought tea cups and cakes early and invited him to sit down. Shen Yue shook his head and did not answer. An Sheng saw the murderous intent in his eyes and complained in his heart. This old man surnamed Zhang obviously did not know that the emperor had ordered him to be punished. Still looking tired and lazy like an old fritter, young master, don't get angry and do something to do justice for the heavens, that's not good.

Just when An Sheng was deeply worried about Mr. Zhang's fate, there was a burst of hearty laughter from the corridor. The visitor was tall and handsome, with a beautiful beard under his chin, and he looked dignified and dignified.Admiral Zhang chuckled, and patted Shen Yue on the shoulder quite painfully, "I have known your father for many years, and today my virtuous nephew came here to take up the post, and he didn't even inform me that I am an elder, it is really outrageous!"

However, Shen Yue was too lazy to make friends with him, so he pulled out the upper sword held by An Sheng with his backhand and slashed it in front of him, "Now kill yourself, I will protect your name."

Zhang Zhiqing was astonished, "What are you doing, nephew?!"

Shen Yue stopped talking, but just looked at Zhang Zhiqing coldly.

Seeing the sword is like seeing the king.After a long time, Zhang Zhiqing finally gritted his teeth and knelt down: "My minister Zhang Zhiqing accepts the order."

A strange color flashed in Shen Yue's eyes: "Do you know what your crime is?"

Zhang Zhiqing finished the salute, patted his clothes and stood up gracefully, his face had regained a peaceful look, "I only know how to face the face according to the etiquette, I don't know what the purpose is."

"Oh? Didn't you hear what I just said?" Shen Yue became interested, and slightly raised his head to look around, "The lower official dared to ask my lord, which one of the Five Dragons in the Ten Thousand Bat Garden in Nanmu Hall does not violate the rules? It is rude to receive orders without incense What kind of crime is it to be disrespectful to imperial envoys? Misappropriating state funds, stealing and selling relief supplies—how can you not sentence an adult to beheaded?"

Although Zhang Zhiqing knew that he came with bad intentions, he was still surprised by the meaning of his words. This is... well prepared!If so, why is there no news from Prime Minister Liao? !For a while, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he just bit the bullet and replied: "This place is temporarily requisitioned for embankment work, not my official residence."

Shen Yue said softly: "So, the governor is a very upright official?"

Zhang Zhiqing was taken aback for a moment, thinking that your question was weird, asking me if I am an upright official, how should I answer?

An Sheng naturally knew who cut off Zhang Zhiqing's contact with Jingzhong, and looked at Zhang Zhiqing sympathetically, thinking that you can't answer a single sentence, and the young master's play should start.

At this time there were footsteps outside the door, An Sheng laughed inwardly, these idiots, the time to watch the play was right, Shen Yue ignored the screams of the people at the door, Shang Fang pointed his sword at the sky, and reprimanded in a deep voice Said: "My lord is an upright official, dare to ask about the length of Jining dam? How many disasters are there in the Jinan Prefecture where you are located? How many victims? How many times have you checked the embankment these days? Or do you want the refugees to sue the case to the bottom of the imperial city before you give up!"
