Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

It has been many days since Tang Zisheng received the news from the general. At this time, the heavy rain outside has already subsided, and it will stop in three or two days.

However, the rain stopped and they couldn't go down the mountain. The flood this time was so severe that it almost completely submerged Cang'er County. Miao went down the mountain to check the situation a few days ago, and almost flooded the mountainside.

Fortunately, the rain has lightened in the past few days, and the water level is slowly receding depending on the situation. It is estimated that the rain has stopped upstream, otherwise the water level will not recede so quickly.

And Tang Zisheng was waiting at this time. He was trapped on the mountain these days, and he didn't know what was going on in Qingcheng.

Although the soldiers he left in the village were sure to be able to keep Qingcheng safe, they were not afraid of [-], just in case.

Now that the rain has lightened, he can also temporarily escape to the refuge in Baihe Village, but he doesn't know the mountain roads, so it's impossible to go by water in such a situation, so inspector Miao has to lead the way and walk with him. trip.

"My lord, in fact, if you are worried about Brother Xu, let us go for a walk, why take the risk by yourself."

Inspector Miao felt that a rich man like Mr. Tang must have been spoiled and raised. Mr. Tang's quick mind does not mean that his body is good. If something good or bad happens to him when he ventures on the mountain road like this, then he will be guilty of a serious crime.

"It's raining these days, and I'm here in the county to appease the people in the county. But I don't know what's going on in the village. Now that the rain has subsided, I should go and have a look." Tang Zisheng did this with one stone. Yes, although it is a bit selfish.

"That's true. You are the backbone of the people in the county. Even if it rains for several days in a row, there are not many troubles. I don't think it will work in the village. If someone is really messed up, they will definitely be punished by my subordinates." I caught them, and then they will all be taken to mine for me.”

There are troublemakers in the backcountry, and Cang'er County is a real fit. This time, it will be trapped in the mountains under heavy rain. It is not impossible for some people to make troubles, but fortunately, the soldiers he trained must still have some skills.

"That's a good idea." Tang Zisheng originally arranged for the people in the prison to work with those who had never committed murders. He was afraid that some people who had been sentenced to death would break the jar and do something to retaliate against the society. common people.

Fortunately, now that mining is out, those who have committed crimes can go to work and manage them uniformly, and if they perform well, their sentences can be appropriately reduced.

"My lord, you need to be more careful on the road ahead. The water level before is probably higher than the section we're walking on. Some places may have been loosened by water bubbles. You must always be careful of the road under your feet." Inspector Miao stepped on the soft foot On the soil, there are trees in the mountains and forests, which can hold the soil firmly.

But the soil has been soaked in water for so long, and a lot of the soil has been soaked, and it is not as firm as before when you step on it.If one accidentally stepped on the air, it would be dangerous to wrestle in the mountains.

"Well, I can save it." Tang Zisheng also walked through the mountains after the rain. In fact, the soil is not bad. If the road is made of stones, it will be even more annoying. In such a humid air, moss is easy to grow on the stones. If one accidentally steps on it But it was a big fall.

Don't ask him how he knows.

It takes half an hour to go to Baihe Village from the county, but it takes a shortcut to take a mountain road, and it takes about three quarters of an hour to get there.

If it wasn't for Tang Zisheng and the others because it was still raining, they had to walk carefully, it would only take faster.

"Qingcheng, you have been worrying all these days, what are you worrying about?" Xu Yingle has been resting these days, and the two thick quilts that Qingcheng brought were laid on the dried straw to sleep, and it was not cold at all. So his condition never got worse.

It's just that his elder brother's brows haven't been relaxed since the disturbance between some people in the village and the soldiers, which made him, a father, also worried.

Xu Qingcheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Daddy can drink the medicine for today. Seeing that the rain is about to subside, it must not be long before the water will recede. When the time comes, Master will come to see you and find me If I don’t take good care of you, then Master will definitely get angry with me.”

"If my condition worsens, it has nothing to do with you. It's not God's arrangement. When there is a flood, this is the only situation where I live. If it wasn't for Tang Xiaozi's arrangement, I might not even die." Xu Ying prevaricated happily he.

"Father, where are you talking?" Xu Qingcheng knew that he had offended his father, and hugged him tightly, "Didn't I find something unusual? I thought I was thinking too much, so why bother to tell my father to worry along with me."

"Then what are you bothered about?"

Seeing that Xu Qingcheng couldn't hide it, he had no choice but to tell the whole story about what happened before, and discussed with his father with some uncertainty after speaking, "It's just some guesses, maybe I've overthought, otherwise I won't see you for so many days." Someone else is doing it."

Xu Yingle shook his head, "It's best to think about such things. Although Wang Da and Wang Er are generous, they have never used real swords and guns. What's more, those who are still soldiers, no matter what Wang Da and Wang Er are. You should still be afraid of being a soldier."

"So Daddy also thinks that someone instigated them to use the knife that time?"

"Naturally." Xu Yingle suddenly remembered, "Before you said that when Wang Dawang Er was arrested, someone stopped you and told you not to report to the police but to open an ancestral hall to solve it, but there is such a thing."

Xu Qingcheng nodded, "It's two clan elders in the village, but I blocked them back."

"Then have you ever thought that these clan elders are the ones who are instigating, how many of the other boys have the ability to make Wang Dawanger listen to what they say, let alone a few bastards in the village besides Wang Dawanger.

They may not know the punishment for failing to grab food.But they are so confident that there must be someone behind them to support them. "

When Xu Qingcheng heard Xu Yingle's words, he suddenly understood. No wonder he asked these people to be interrogated before. Their mouths were as smelly and hard as the stones in the latrine. They insisted that they just wanted to eat enough to make them confused.

And although those clan elders were blocked by him, he could see a few people gathering together to discuss something every now and then, maybe this matter had something to do with Wang Dawang Er and the others.

"But the clan elders can't beat the government no matter how face-saving they are. If Zisheng really wants to punish them, what should they do?"

"Qingcheng, you have to know a truth. Whether a father sues the son, no matter whether it is right or wrong, the son is wrong in the eyes of others. And the son sues the father, let alone the father's fault, even if the son sues the father, it is a huge mistake."

This principle also applies to the elders and younger generations in the same village.

Xu Qingcheng understood that no matter whether the clan elders could save Wang Dawang Er and the others, Wang Dawang Er couldn't change his words. If you admit it, maybe Wang Dawang and the others will add another crime to their crimes.

At that time, they offended the clan elders, and the life of their family members in the village will be difficult in the future. It seems that these bastards are not unsmart, but they are not used in the right way.

"Since that's the case, I can only inquire about Wang Dawang Er and the others who have contacted those elders." No matter whether there is evidence or not, Xu Qingcheng has to find out this person.

"You can look for it, but don't let them find out, otherwise they will think of a sinister way to deal with you at this time, and you will be hard to guard against." It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. There is always some truth in what the predecessors said.

"Well, I'll be careful, Daddy."

"Brother Qingcheng, Master Tang is here." Brother Mu shouted at the top of his voice before even entering the cave, and he seemed to know that Xu Qingcheng missed the county magistrate very much these days.

Xu Yingle saw her brother's face was full of joy, and she didn't act as a stumbling block, so she gently pushed away her brother who was holding him, "Go, you haven't seen each other for quite a while."

Xu Qingcheng lowered her head and tried to hide her smile, but her brows were filled with joy, so there was no way she could hide it, so she had to whisper, "Then I'll go out first, Dad."

"Go." Xu Yingle also came over at this age, how could he not know the feeling of lovesickness.

Xu Qingcheng nodded and trotted out the door, but before he could reach the door, he ran into Tang Zisheng who came straight to him.

"Why are you so careless? Did it hurt?" Tang Zisheng held the man's shoulder, looked down at Qingcheng's face with concern.

Of course, this kind of strength is not painful. Xu Qingcheng shook his head and hugged Tang Zisheng. It had been a while since he hadn't seen him. He missed him so much.

"Sorry, I just came here now. These days are going well. No one is making trouble." Tang Zisheng also hugged Qingcheng lightly, and patted Qingcheng on the back.

"No." Xu Qingcheng didn't want them to talk about business as soon as they met, he wanted to get closer to Zisheng.

Tang Zisheng smiled secretly, it's rare for Qingcheng to be childish, and he also let Qingcheng hold him like this, but they were standing at the entrance of the cave, and there might be many watching villagers watching from outside, and Qingcheng would be buried on his shoulders to watch No, but I'm afraid I'll be ashamed and annoyed when I realize it later.

"Let's go in. I haven't visited Uncle Xu for a long time. Is Uncle Xu in good health recently?"

After being reminded by Tang Zisheng, Xu Qingcheng remembered where he was standing, and immediately withdrew his hand and led him into the house. As long as he can't see, no one will see him outside.

It is true that Xu Qingcheng is deceiving his ears and stealing his bell.

"Uncle Xu." Tang Zisheng was pulled closer to the cave with a smile on his face. Firewood was burning in the cave, and because the cave entrance was not sealed, it was not choking.

"Boy Tang, come here." Xu Yingle became more and more satisfied the more he looked at Tang Zisheng. It was a blessing for his brother to meet such a good person in such a place.

Tang Zisheng thought of the letter sent by the general. At least he was on his father-in-law's side. When the father-in-law came, he still knew that he would call his father-in-law, so that his father-in-law would not be frightened when the time came.

"Uncle Xu, a letter came from the general, saying that the imperial court sent Prime Minister Yan to Xizhou as an imperial envoy, and he will be in Xizhou soon."

The news went through many twists and turns, and it took a lot of time on the road, not to mention that Cang'er County is surrounded by water, so it is even more difficult to send a message.

From the imperial city to Xizhou, it would take ten days at most, and seven or eight days at least. With the speed at which Yue Zhang came to Xizhou, it must be a day and night journey.

However, it will take some time to get to Xizhou and the road to Cang'er County, and the disasters along the way are probably not small.Since they came for disaster relief, they couldn't go straight to Cang'er County.

When Xu Yingle first heard the news, his heartbeat slowed down a bit, and then he acted nonchalantly, asking indifferently, "When will he arrive?"
