April.

It has rained several times in a row.

Rain cats and dogs.

The Yellow River has entered the flood season ahead of schedule.

In March, the embankment along the river in Guide Province had already begun to be repaired, but due to the sudden rainstorm, the construction had to be stopped, delaying the progress of the embankment.

Today, Li Zihua, the governor of the river, came to Kaocheng, which is a county under the jurisdiction of Suizhou. Ma Guang, who is the governor of Suizhou, went up and down in his heart, and went out to greet and accompany the inspection together with the county order of Kaocheng County.

Li Zihua sat in the shed and ordered his subordinates to go to the embankment to inspect the embankment.

During this period, Ma Guang wanted to talk to Li Zihua several times, but as soon as he came to the shed, he was stopped by the river mark of the governor's yamen.

Ma Guang has no way to eat the closed-door soup, who calls someone a superintendent?

Li Zihua drank tea all day long, although it was raining heavily, but his official robe was not wet at all, Rao was so clean, he still picked up the net handkerchief and flicked his sleeves, and then raised his eyes to look at Ma Guang who was waiting in the rain outside the curtain, and the two officials of Kaocheng County.

At this time, Li Zihua said in a loud voice: "Let them come in!" ”

Ma Guang and the magistrate of Kaocheng County entered together, and the official robes had already been wet, and they had been dripping since they entered. Ma Guang saluted Li Zihua and bowed: "The next official Suizhou Zhizhou Ma Guang knocked to see the platform." ”

On the side, the county magistrate also followed and bowed.

Li Zihua pinched his beard and asked, "You are Ma Guang, the governor of Suizhou?" ”

"Xia Guan is exactly."

Li Zihua nodded and said, "Do you know where you are under your feet?" ”

Ma Guangdao: "Back to the system, it is Huanglinggang in Kaocheng County. ”

"What happened here during the year of Hongji?"

Ma Guang raised his head, and the rain dripped down the black gauze hat, but when he saw him, he said: "In the second year of Hongzhi, Huanglinggang broke the embankment, and the Yellow River moved north to flood the road. ”

Li Zihua pondered: "In the sixth year of Hongzhi, today is the twelfth year of Wanli, so how are you repairing this embankment?" Good no good? ”

Ma Guang lowered his head.

"Why don't you say it?"

Ma Guang hung his head and said, "Xiaguan...... Lower officer, do your best. ”

Li Zihua sneered: "Do your best? ”

Li Zihua ordered someone to pull the curtain, but saw that on the embankment not far from the curtain, dozens of river workers were waving hoes and shovels, throwing away the embankment.

Under the heavy rain, hoes and shovels flew high with dirt.

You don't have to look closely to see something like straw in the dirt.

Li Zihua sneered and said, "Come on, screw Ma Zhizhou to the embankment and take a look." There is also this magistrate, who showed the section of the embankment we left behind to the two of them. ”

So several pacesetters were about to step forward.

Seeing this, Ma Guang hurriedly walked a few steps, kowtowed, and said: "Make the platform, the lower officials should be damned, there is only so much money for repairing the embankment, and the lower officials have done their best, but there is no way to take care of all aspects." If you are negligent, please also ask for leniency. ”

The magistrate was also trembling with fright.

Li Zihua waved his hand, signaled the pacesetter to retreat, and then said, "If a person is not a sage, he can do nothing." If it's wrong, just admit it. Come on, two adults take a seat! ”

Two Taishi chairs were placed on the table.

"Sit!"

Li Zihua nodded, and the two didn't dare to disobey the order, so they sat down next to each other.

Li Zihua said: "You just said that there is only so much money for repairing the embankment, and the implication is that the money allocated to you in the government is not enough." ”

Ma Guang heard this: "What does it mean to make a table? ”

Li Zihua shook his head, left his seat and said, "I'll go back and change my clothes first, Master Gu, you come and talk to them, no, the magistrate of Kaocheng County, you can go back first." ”

Master Gu said yes, and then Li Zihua went aside.

Master Gu whispered a few words to Ma Guang, and Ma Guang's face changed: "Are you asking me to push it all on?" ”

Master Gu smiled and said, "Is there anyone else in charge of the river in the mansion except Lin Sima?" If not, you have to be in front of it. ”

"I've already inquired clearly, you Master Ma has always been on bad terms with Lin Sima, if it happens to him, you will be fine, otherwise you will be fine, have you figured it out?"

Ma Guang's face flushed and said, "Xiaguan, this is ...... This allows the official to think about it first. ”

"Think about it? After a while, Lin Sima and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion are about to arrive, you will confront him? See whose responsibility it is? ”

Ma Guang said: "Yes, the embankment of Huanglinggang is not well repaired, but this is left by the predecessor's mansion, after the embankment was repaired last year, it has been a lot stronger, at least the water is resistant, you can't harm me like this." ”

Master Gu sneered: "Confused, Master Ma, I ask you if the embankment is repaired well, who can say, it is our master of Taiwan." We say that the embankment is good, that is not good, and we say that the embankment is not good, that is, it is really bad. Besides, this embankment is really not very good, do you understand? ”

"You guys." A wave of anger overflowed from the bottom of Ma Guang's heart.

While talking.

At this time, the outside world announced: "Lord Qiyu, Lin Yanchao has arrived in the Defu Mansion!" ”

Li Zihua turned around and looked at him.

And Master Gu also changed color, and said in his heart, Lin Yanchao was not still on the road at this time, how could he come so quickly.

So Master Gu said to Ma Guang: "You think carefully about your future, don't make mistakes." ”

Ma Guang regretted when he heard this, when he first built this embankment, because he was not on good terms with Lin Yanchao, his explanation to him was contrary to Yang Feng Yin.

Now Li Zihua, the governor of the river, made a surprise inspection of the Huanglinggang embankment and ordered someone to put aside the embankment section on the spot to inspect it.

Now Li Zihua wants Ma Guang to frame Lin Yanchao, but Ma Guang doesn't dare.

That's right, he and Lin Yanchao are not on good terms, but he is not stupid, Lin Yanchao was skilled when he was in the Guide Mansion.

He has seen and seen.

The former prefect, Ma Yu, and Gu Ming are already above Lin Yanchao, but what is the result? One by one, Lin Yanchao was dismissed from office and even lost his life. Some time ago, Wu Tong's sentence got carried away, and as a result, he offended Lin Yanchao, and heard that he knelt in the Tongzhi Office all night, and had a serious illness after going back.

How dare he Ma Zhizhou dare to frame Lin Yanchao, thinking that his life is long?

That's when it happened.

The curtain opened.

But seeing Lin Yanchao coming to the canopy, he first glanced at Ma Guang who was kneeling on the ground.

Lin Yanchao saw that Ma Guang's face was pale, and then remembered that someone threw the embankment on the embankment, and suddenly understood.

So Lin Yanchao went straight to the point and said to Li Zihua: "Dare to ask if there is something wrong with the river embankment?" ”

Li Zihua treated Lin Yanchao with another attitude, and smiled at the moment: "It's just a routine, Lin Sima doesn't have to make a fuss." At a meeting, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion went to discuss the dredging of the Jialu River, and the governor asked Lin Sima to take a good look at it. ”

"I see." Lin Yanchao smiled.

Li Zihua and Master Gu were relieved to see that Lin Yanchao had been blindfolded, and they raided the river embankment, but they didn't expect Lin Yanchao to come so quickly.

This was to catch them off guard.

But Lin Yanchao put his hands behind his back, looked at Ma Guang and asked, "Ma Zhizhou, is this embankment really okay?" ”

Ma Guang looked at Li Zihua, then at Lin Yanchao, and suddenly said loudly: "Qi Yu to control the platform, Qi Qi Sima, this Huanglinggang embankment is the negligence of the lower officials, I implore the control of the platform, Sima punishes me!" ”
