"My lord, this weir can't be blocked, the old man begs you!"

"That's right! Once the weir mouth is blocked, I will have no harvest when I wait for the crops, and the whole family will starve to death! ”

……

More than 20 honest crop men immediately begged, their eyes full of tears, and they looked at Lei Changjiang sincerely.

Now that the government is dredging the Nanliu River, it will definitely rebuild the dam, which will inevitably block the weir mouth and destroy the already fragile water conservancy system. Once the farmland is deprived of water for irrigation, their hard work for the year will not be rewarded.

But it cannot be said that the people are ignorant and have no long-term vision.

In the lives of many people, they have a meal or a meal, and they don't know what will happen next year, who will talk to you about the future. Most importantly, many of them are tenants, and they may starve to death if they have a small harvest.

Lei Changjiang is in his forties, he is from a poor family, he is full of enthusiasm, and he is an official who wants to be the master of the people. Even some conscientious officials may have to soften their hearts when they see this scene, let alone an official with a full sense of justice like him.

It's just that Lei Changjiang's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and while he cared for these people, his mouth was still tightly closed, because he knew that he couldn't agree to this request.

If the Nanliu River is allowed to flow poorly, if it does flood this year, most of the farmland in Hepu County will have to be flooded.

At that time, with the urine of the profiteers in Luo Bancheng, the price of rice in Lianzhou City will inevitably soar. The people of Hepu County will be in dire straits, either by selling their land and property to make a living, or by selling their children and daughters.

As soon as he thought of this, he shook his head slowly, and said very firmly: "Dredging the Nanliu River, benefiting the people of Hepu County, and benefiting future generations, this is a strategy for a hundred generations, and this government is imperative!" ”

When he said this, Lei Changjiang was also moved, and his eyes were full of tears at the same time. He didn't have any selfish interests, and at this moment, he longed for the understanding of these people.

Woo......

The people are undoubtedly more vulnerable, and seeing Lei Changjiang's persistence, an old man actually cried silently.

Huang Zhutou had already been impressed by Lei Changjiang's personality charm, and when he saw Lei Changjiang's statement, and saw the old man's "cozy attitude", he immediately pointed to the people who were blocking the road and hated iron and steel: "Don't think I don't know, many of you have become tenants, once there is a flood this year, you will wait to sell your sons and daughters!" ”

Huang Zhutou's words stabbed a certain pain point, and the crowd fell silent.

And it is true that they have been reduced to tenants. It's just that they are even more unfortunate that ordinary people still have the opportunity to sell their fields to survive, while they can only count on the harvest of crops in the fields.

It was still the voice of the gangster before, but it suddenly shouted and instigated: "It wasn't a flood the year before last, but didn't we live well?" Don't listen to his alarmist words, if this weir mouth is blocked, we will really wait for death. ”

"Can't let the weir mouth be blocked!"

"You can't rebuild the Nanliu River!"

"Let's go together, we can't let this dog official cut off my life!"

……

But at this time, first a few gangsters responded, and then the people blocking the front also raised their fists and shouted slogans. The black crowd rushed towards Lei Changjiang and the officials, and the powder keg seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

"Protect your lords!"

Huang Zhutou saw that the scene began to get out of control, and he suddenly panicked.

But it is not the ordinary people who are worried about these riots, but the ruffians and hooligans who are mixed in, and even the disguised Lian Zhouwei. With the more than 20 yacha he carried, he couldn't suppress the other party at all.

If it had been placed in the past, the people of Lian Zhouwei would definitely have come to help. Only this time, Lian Zhouwei is simply the initiator behind the scenes, how can he come to help?

"Haha......"

Luo Bancheng, who was dressed in silk and satin, was tall and standing calmly next to him with shackles, looking at this chaotic scene proudly, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

Lei Changjiang looked at this chaotic scene, his heart was both angry and hateful, and when he heard the piercing laughter, he turned his head to look at Luo Bancheng and said angrily: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I said it a long time ago! The water in Lianzhou Mansion is very deep, if you dare to touch me, you will definitely be drowned in the water! Su Bancheng didn't look like a prisoner at all, and looked at Lei Changjiang with a proud face.

Huang Zhutou covered his forehead and ran over, and said with an anxious face: "My lord, you get out of here quickly!" There are a lot of practitioners among them, and my brothers and I can't resist it! ”

As he spoke, one of them was beaten and fell in front of them, coughing up blood in his mouth.

"Governor Lei, this law is not to blame the public! If you want to live, I advise you to get out of here quickly, or you'll make a big joke! Luo Bancheng's face looked even more proud, and he said half intimidating and half threatening.

"My lord, let's go!" Huang Zhutou exchanged a look with Luo Bancheng, and then persuaded with an anxious face.

Lei Changjiang is in a struggle, once these "chaotic people" take the opportunity to get rid of him, the court is afraid that it will be dealt with in a low-key manner, and it will definitely not fall the blame on Luo Bancheng, the culprit.

Now, he should have chosen to run away and leave this place of right and wrong. It's just that if he really escapes, it will undoubtedly be a kind of cowardice, and next time he wants to implement any big policies, this kind of scene will appear even worse today, and he, the prefect, will really have no prestige at all.

But at this time, I saw a movement at the West City Gate, and a team came in a mighty way.

In addition to the "Leizhou Prefect" and "Guangdong City Boshi Promotion", there are also conspicuous "Daming Wenkui" and "Ambergris Incense Purchased by Order".

Zhao Yong led more than a dozen subordinates, beat horses and walked in front, encountered this chaotic crowd from a distance, and immediately slapped his horse forward.

It's just that Chen Baihu, who was leading Lian Zhouwei to look at the bustle, greeted him warmly: "Zhao Tongzhi, long time no see!" ”

Syllable!

Zhao Yong raised the horsewhip and whipped it heavily on Chen Baihu's body, and the horsewhip immediately pulled out a blood mark on Chen Baihu's neck, and Chen Baihu, who felt the blood on his neck, looked at the other party incredulously.

It is true that his military rank is lower than that of Zhao Yong, but he is subordinate to Lian Zhouwei and is a close confidant of Commander Luo. Even if it is to teach a lesson, it will not be the turn of the new acquaintance of Leizhou Wei, and it is a whip for no reason.

"Are you so impatient that you dare to stand in my way?" Zhao Yong glanced at him contemptuously and said coldly.

Chen Baihu looked at the blood stains on his palms, and immediately squinted his eyes and threatened, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" Although his military rank is lower than that of the other party, here in Lianzhou City, he is even confident that he can kill the other party.

And as he spoke, the twenty-odd Lei Zhouwei behind him immediately showed malice on his face, as if he was waiting for Chen Baihu to give an order.

"Where?" Zhao Yongpi didn't smile, looked at him coldly and said: "Lin Tiju was ordered to purchase ambergris here, you are a small hundred households dare to block the road, believe it or not, Ben Tongzhi will kill you with a knife now?" ”

Yes!

Hearing these words, those banner troops who originally wanted to stand up for Chen Baihu immediately withered. The matter involves the emperor, how dare they stop it, even if they are cut off by Zhao Yong, they will die in vain.

Chen Baihu was stunned for a moment, looking at the honor guard from far and near, and swallowed and foamed.

If it is said that in the entire western Guangdong, the most feared person is not the soldier Han Shisheng, but the king of Lin Yan, who has killed countless people. Now, the purchase of ambergris has made his status reach its peak.

"The last will participate in the lifting!" Chen Baihu saluted in a proper manner to the guard of honor that came to him, and lowered his head honestly.

The team didn't stop and headed towards the chaotic crowd.

Zhao Yong arrived first, and shouted loudly to the chaotic crowd: "You have heard clearly!" Lin Tiju was ordered to purchase ambergris here, whoever dares to block the road will be killed!"

First, I saw a group of soldiers in armor, and then saw the honor guard with brown umbrellas, so many people chose to stop.

"Participate in the adult lift!"

When Lin Haoran, who was wearing a fourth-grade official robe, walked down from the sedan chair, whether it was ordinary people, ruffians and hooligans, or those yacha chasers, they all saluted in a proper manner.

I have to say that the name of Lin Lei Gong has already resounded throughout western Guangdong. In addition to the much-talked-about reversal of the case for the people, there are also some exploits in getting rid of pirates, which makes them feel impressed by this Lin Lei Gong who was born in Wenkui.

"See Lord Lin!" When Lei Changjiang heard that Lin Haoran was coming, he was very happy, but he was a little ashamed. If it weren't for Lin Haoran arriving, I'm afraid he would really have to flee and become a joke for the entire Lianzhou Mansion.

Lin Haoran looked at Lei Changjiang, and he was also very helpless in his heart. But I don't know whether to scold Lianzhou Mansion for being too deep, or to blame Lei Changjiang for his inaction, so far he can't control the situation in Lianzhou Mansion.

But at this time, an old man suddenly knelt on the ground, crying bitterly and said, "Please Lin Leigong be the master for us!" We know that repairing the Nanliujiang River is beneficial to the century, but the disaster is in the present generation, this Nanliujiang cannot be repaired, please be aware of it! ”

"Woe to the present generation, but where does this begin?" Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and he turned his head to look at the dark-skinned old man.

The old man was also a little bold, and looked at Lin Haoran very calmly and said: "First, once the water source is intercepted, we will have no water for irrigation, and the fields will be harvested!" ”

"This house understands!" Lin Haoran nodded slowly, knowing that this was a difficult point, and it was also the biggest contradiction in this conflict.

The old man found that Lin Haoran was very gentle, so he said seriously: "The second is conscription. The Nanliu River has been silted up for many years, and this will certainly be a big project, and once the imperial court agrees to dredge, we will have endless servitude. ”

It really can't be said that the people are stupid, in fact they are very shrewd.

Many people are proud of Beijing's status as the world's number one city, but they don't know how much blood and sweat has gone into this great achievement.

In order to build the city of Beijing, the construction began in the fourth year of Yongle, and it was not completed until the death of Zhu Di in the twenty-second year of Yongle, and millions of people were conscripted every year across the country.

On the way to move to Beijing, the new capital, Zhu Gaochi has such a record in the "Records of Mingrenzong": At any time, you can see the homeless people tossing and turning in the ravines, and the people are digging wild vegetables in the field with baskets. I walked into the homes of these people and found that both men and women were "dressed in knots without taking cover", and even the stove in the house had long since collapsed.

Now that the Nanliu River is to be dredged, they think of forced labor, the voluntary labor that pays hard but gets any remuneration for their labor, and even if they die, they don't get a coffin.

Lin Haoran thought of this, but he didn't take the second point into account, he sighed lightly in his heart, turned his head to look at Lei Changjiang and asked, "Lord Lei, what do you think?" ”

Lei Changjiang's eyes flashed, but he suddenly stepped forward, and no one could have imagined the next move.

saw that he lifted the hem of his official robe, and knelt down towards the people in front of him.

This scene immediately shocked everyone present. They have always knelt for officials, but now the prefect has actually knelt down for these untouchables, which has never happened before.

"My lord, what's wrong with you!" A scribe thought that Lei Changjiang was caused by a fall, and stepped forward to help him up.

Lei Changjiang's hand waved back, stopping the scribe's action.

He took off the black gauze hat with both hands, solemnly held it in front of his chest, raised his head and looked at the people sincerely: "The matter of dredging the Nanliu River is not considered by this official, and I apologize to you here!" ”

As he spoke, Lei Changjiang actually kowtowed on the ground.

"No!"

The old men are all simple people, and the reason why they are making such a fuss today is because they are instigated, and they are to live. Now watching Lord Fuzun kneel down for them, and take the initiative to kowtow to admit their mistakes, it immediately made many people's eyes wet.

In their hearts, they don't want a good official like Lin Leigong, they just want a prefect who can uphold justice. But now, the prefect has far exceeded their expectations.

But the atmosphere was soon destroyed, and Lei Changjiang's words suddenly changed: "It's just dredging the Nanliu River, which is a great thing for the people of Hepu to never be flooded, and it is a great thing to benefit future generations, and this thing must be done!" ”

This......

Some people heard that Lei Changjiang was so stubborn, if it weren't for Lin Lei Gong here, he would really want to kill him directly. The originally touching scene has also become less touching.

Lin Haoran shook his head gently, Lei Changjiang undoubtedly wanted to do things for the people, but he seemed to be "more courageous and less wise".

"Don't let him fool you! He is no different from other dog officials, he still wants to cut off everyone's life! The voice of the gangster from before came out again, hiding in the crowd and speaking loudly.

Lin Haoran's face straightened, and he looked in the direction of the sound source and said, "Who is talking, stand up!" ”

"It's him!" I have to say that Lin Haoran's prestige is indeed higher than Lei Changjiang.

After a while, a young man with a thief's eyebrows and a rat's eye was found out, but it was a well-known gangster in the city.
