Chapter 6 There is indeed a lot of water in the courtyard

After eating, the local people and Kaifeng began to work again.

Zhang Zhong originally planned not to go to Yamen today, it was too late, but Zhang Xiaobao was going, he wanted to see what was going on there, and if he found out earlier, he could find a little deal to deal with it, and move in as soon as possible.

The four of them didn't want to go, they felt sleepy after a day of tossing, but looking at the hundreds of people with weapons around Zhang Zhong, they were afraid that Zhang Zhong's assassination history that would dare to do anything would cause them harm, so they could only stand up and be sleepy and go towards the yamen together.

The government office of Luzhou is in Wulei County, not far from the county government, usually in this situation, the officials in the county government will be very uncomfortable, especially the county order, which should be the biggest official in the county, but in the end they still have to listen to the orders of the government office, and they can't play the prestige they should have at all.

But Luzhou here seems to be the opposite, the original assassin Shi hopes that his yamen can be far away from the county yamen, he only has fifty government soldiers, but there are one hundred and fifty government officials in Wulei County, the sky is far away, and it doesn't matter whether it is a county or not, it is still equipped with weapons, these weapons are bought by the county commander Zhang Yi himself, as for where he got the money, it is simple.

The group walked for nearly two hours, first passing by the county yamen, from the outside it looks almost very dilapidated from other places, fortunately the door did not fall, but you can see the two-storey building inside, built well, this should be the county order's home.

Corrupt officials, this is Wang Juan's idea, a county order, or a county order in such a remote place, relying on Yu Lu wants to repair the building, dream of it, the family is really a little capable, who would run here to be a county order? This is different from Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong is promoted from seven to four, and others will not do it if he finds a good state.

The group continued to move forward, walked out for about half an hour, the government office appeared in front of them, the low wall is made of mud, the paint color of the door has almost fallen, there are insects on it to eat out of a small hole, look inside through the wall, the place is also not small.

It's a pity that there is no two-story building, and at this time there is no one to be seen except for a few miscellaneous people, who are sitting next to a fire and eating, and the rest of the place is dark.

Directly let people open the door, a creaking and squeaky sound came, and with a bang, the door was completely opened, and the people who were doing miscellaneous inside greeted them, and the reason why the door could be opened just now was that they didn't latch it at all.

Several people saw Zhang Zhong's clothes through the lantern on Zhang Zhong's side, and immediately knew who was coming, and invited him inside while saluting.

Zhang Zhong first came to the hall of the house to handle cases, walked to the side of the table and looked at it, there was a layer of ash on it, it seemed that there was nothing to do for a long time, and then turned to the study, the study was empty, not to mention the book, not even a few few, from the traces on the ground, you can know that the predecessor moved all the things that could be moved, what kind of poverty does this have to be?

Then go to the signing room and other places to see, it is also empty, Zhang Zhong shook his head helplessly, knowing that it is not easy for others to be officials, these things will either not stay, and the ship will bring new ones, no wonder the officials are greedy, poor, it is not easy to become an official, not greedy, what to socialize, what to give the family a good life.

Maybe only those officials who are really willing to do things for the people are less greedy, and there are children from big families, don't be greedy, just for political achievements, although they are not from a big family, but they have a lot of business in their own family, and they are greedy for thousands of dollars, even if it is tens of thousands, it is better to take advantage of the leisure time to rest more.

After seeing the office of Fuzhong, I walked back again, and the back was the same as Huayuan County at the beginning, the kind with a yard set on it, it may be that the land here is not valuable, and the courtyard group behind is more than twice as large as Huayuan County.

It's dark, walking with a lantern, you have to pay more attention to your feet, this place is okay, there is no bluestone pavement, but there is some sand, both sides of the road are bare, no flowers and plants are planted, two kapok trees are set up in the yard, go out a few steps, Zhang Zhong found that something is wrong.

There was water here, and by the light of the lantern it looked sparkling, and when I entered the courtyard, I couldn't settle down, and when I looked at the next room, the paper on the window had already been torn by the wind and rain, and only some small pieces were glued to the window frame.

"This room seems to be uninhabited, there is a lot of water, it is damp enough, and the same should be true for other places, right?" Zhang Zhong asked the miscellaneous man.

"Back to the master's words, it's true, I don't know why, there is always water seeping out here, people live in such a place, it will be very uncomfortable, if the master's family has money, it is better to buy a house outside, Shi Thorn Shi has always wanted to buy a house, but unfortunately has not saved enough money."

The miscellaneous man replied respectfully, he saw that the new assassin was accompanied by so many people with weapons, and he felt that he should be rich.

"Well, this matter is not in a hurry, you all go around to take a look, the people of the strong seedling protection team, Xiaobao and Juan Juan will go around with me elsewhere."

Zhang Zhong didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly asked his son and daughter-in-law, separated the others, and walked back with a group of people.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan glanced at each other, squatted *** dipped his fingers in some water, took his tongue ***, and said twice: "It's not seawater, there is no bitterness and saltiness at all, it should be groundwater seeping up, you need to ask others, how fast is the infiltration."

If it is often groundwater seeping up, it means that the terrain here is low, and if the terrain here is not low, it can still seep up, then it means ......"

"It means that there is pressurized water below, and you can make an artesian well, Huzi, go and ask the miscellaneous people, what is going on here." Wang Juan judged on the basis of Zhang Xiaobao's words.

Huzi ran out, and after a while, he came back and reported: "This place is higher than the other places, and there is usually water five feet high in the house, and the wall has been built so high that the water will no longer seep out at that height, but in this way, other places will seep up, whether it is fast or not, and it is not slow to say slow."

The original appointment was to dig more ditches, but found that after digging more, the water came out more, and the surrounding places were all wet, and there were many residences next to the yamen, and the people were unwilling, so they filled it again.

Also, there is a river three miles away from here, and the original assassin wanted to dig a river to pass, but the four judges in the yamen disagreed, saying that they were using the money of the yamen to work the people and hurt the money, and the county order of the county also told the people that they were not allowed to come to help, so the people did not dare to come, not to mention that they really couldn't get the money to let people work. ”

Huzi stepped aside after speaking, and then there was nothing to do with him.

Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and Zhang Zhong walked back together, and when they got to the back, they saw that there was a ditch, and the water from all over the place gathered together, flowing out along the ditch, and when they pushed open the corner door at the back, they could see that the water in the ditch was flowing in the direction of several households, and then they went forward, and these families dug the ditch themselves and led the water to other places.

"I understand, there is no infrastructure here at all, the heavy rain falls, the rain flushes the ditch in any way, I really feel sorry for him with the surname Shi, Assassin Shi is such a big official, let him be regarded as such a situation is not an ordinary person."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't have to follow down to know what was going on, so he wondered how that person became a assassin.

"Didn't you listen to what Huzi said, the assassin wanted to do something, those four people stopped first, and then the county order threatened the people, and his family didn't have much money to let people do private work, so they dragged it like this, these people are bad enough, it depends on the situation that the four judges and Zhang Yi united to bully the assassin history."

Wang Juan was analyzing on the side, which meant telling Zhang Xiaobao to hurry up and find a way, otherwise your father would also be bullied.

Zhang Xiaobao pursed his lips disdainfully: "Let me see who dares to use the original method on our family?" This place is settled, how nice it is to have an artesian well, dig down from the unimportant courtyard next to it, build a pond, and then connect it to the river three miles away, living water.

Think about it again, the assassin doesn't have much money in his family, but he still keeps fifty government soldiers privately and builds weapons for them, why is this? Does the fact that it costs a lot of money to support those people mean that he is afraid that his life or that of his family will be threatened? So who could threaten his life? ”

"The officials don't dare, and the county order won't let the officials do this kind of thing, but people outside dare, especially to his family, it is estimated that the person has a relationship with Zhang Yi, that is to say, when someone threatens the life of the assassin family, the officials will not come forward, and they can't count on it at all."

Wang Juan then added, this kind of thing is very common, it looks confusing, and it is very simple after knowing it, if you want to blame it, blame this thorn Shi for his poor ability, and powerful people will clean up the other party.

Zhang Zhong listened on the sidelines, and also felt that this was the case, but he was not afraid, his family had a lot of money, and he didn't care if the money was enough to raise a few hundred people, and there was also the palace guard of the little waiting master, and his family would not be harmed.

When Zhang Zhong's family analyzed the matter and decided to live in Fuzhong, more than a dozen people in the yamen of Wulei County also got together to discuss things.

"Zhang County Order, I heard that the new assassin history is not ordinary, there is money in the family, and there are many people around to protect him, is the previous method not easy to use? Or give him some of the saltworks, or some of the other precious tributes? ”

A man who was half a head taller than others and had a thin body sat on the futon opposite Zhang Yi and said to Zhang Yi.

"Rich in the family? said that you can take out tens of thousands of pieces at will, do you believe this? Don't use the previous threatening method in a hurry, find a way to find him tomorrow, find an opportunity to give him a thousand yuan of flying money, and see what will happen to him? ”

Zhang Yi didn't believe that Zhang Zhong's family could be so rich, and he was ready to test it first, which was a treatment that his predecessor did not have.
