Chapter 846: Bold
The grain in this warehouse must not be opened without the permission of the imperial court, so Yang Chaoying is also a little embarrassed at this time.
He had already sent a message to the capital a few days ago, and he had roughly described the situation in Hangtianfu. He had checked the situation of the embankment before, and found that the embankment looked quite solid on the outside, but there was a lot of information on the inside.
After the reinforcement of the river embankment was completed, the imperial court sent people from the Ministry of Works to inspect it. Why couldn't these people find out that there was something wrong with the material in the embankment? Who believes that there is no greasy thing in this?
Yang Chaoying only took office at the end of last year, and originally thought that Hang Tianfu was rich, but he was a fat man.
He is not such a pedantic person, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. He won't be so greedy, but he won't be so incorruptible, after all, who in this court doesn't stretch out his hand?
If he didn't stretch out his hand, he would be very different.
What he is worried and hesitating about now is that this year's imperial court will strengthen the river embankment, which is a big errand not long after he arrived.
Yang Chaoying was not familiar with this embankment before, so now he knew that he was fooled by the officials sent by the imperial court and the officials under him.
How could he know that these people were so bold that they dared to covet even this kind of silver?
Now that there is a problem with the embankment, he has to walk around without food. When Yang Chaoying thought of this, his face became a little worse.
Even if this matter will implicate him, he will have to report it. Otherwise, once the embankment breaks, it is a trivial matter to lose the black gauze hat, and the life of the family is big!
I hope that what he has done in the past few days will be effective, and the river embankment will be able to withstand the surging river.
"My lord! The imperial court sent a messenger, and at this time he had already arrived at Changtianfu. This is an urgent letter from the Chin Cha, please take a look! ”
There were officials stepping on the mud and walking quickly towards Yang Chaoying.
Yang Chaoying was shocked, and Qin Cha finally came. He hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter and quickly skimmed through it at a glance.
But the more he looked, the more his face sank, and finally his hands trembled with the letter.
He held the letter in his hand and commanded the officer, "Quick! Come home! ”
Chen Zhao, who had changed his clothes and had rested for most of the day, was standing in the study in the backyard of Yingnan Mansion at this time.
Li Taixing, who was sitting at the top, frowned, and then said to Chen Zhao: "This matter has been sent by the official to the Qin Messenger sent by the imperial court this time, this matter is very important, we must report it to the Qin Messenger immediately." Only Qian Huichun committed suicide, why didn't you stop it at that time? ”
Li Taixing's eyes emitted a cold light, and Chen Zhao was shocked in his heart.
"Returning to Lord Li, Lord Qian has made up his mind, and he tried his best to persuade him, but Lord Qian is still indifferent. In the end, he took advantage of the momentary negligence of his humble position and threw himself into the precipice. This is indeed a dereliction of duty, and I ask Lord Li to punish him. ”
Chen Zhao suddenly felt bitter in his heart, and he was actually no wonder about this matter. Qian Huichun has a will to die, can he still stop a person who is bent on death?
Besides, since Qian Huichun chose to commit suicide, it must have been carefully considered. If he doesn't die, he will be liquidated by the emperor in the end, and those people will not let him go.
Why is it that the embankments of other state capitals are unharmed, while those of their Changtian Mansion have burst? The people don't know the reason, they only think that it is Qian Huichun's inaction that will lead to countless deaths and injuries among the people, and the displacement of the surviving people.
Although it is not bad to think so, because Qian Huichun did not prevent it early, it is indeed his incompetence, which is undeniable.
But how many of the other Linjiang state officials can prepare for a rainy day? Isn't it because they have the experience of their Changtianfu that they began to strengthen their guard?
No matter how Qian Huichun goes, this is a dead end. It is better to commit suicide and apologize, and the emperor may be able to spare his surviving family.
It's better to commit suicide and apologize than to be beheaded by the emperor, right?
Li Taixing snorted coldly, "Your dereliction of duty will not be taken care of, and the imperial court will naturally severely punish you later." ”
Li Taixing waited to say more, but he didn't want the steward outside the door to suddenly come in and report.
"My lord! It's an urgent letter from Lord Hu. ”
"Hurry up and get it!" Li Taixing heard that it was an urgent letter sent by Hu Maoshen, so he hurriedly sat up straight.
Chen Zhao felt uncomfortable at the moment, knowing that he would still be dismissed and investigated in the end, but what he was worried about at the moment was not his own safety.
It's been a few days, and his family doesn't know what happened. He thought about it for a while, and planned to leave for Changtian Mansion, while doing his little bit for the people, while looking for his family.
"What? Hum! Li Taixing pinched the letter in his hand and was very angry, and he slapped the book case with a calm face, which startled Chen Zhao who was contemplative.
"How unreasonable! He Hu Maoshen really has a good calculation. Li Taixing was annoyed, so he called him by his name.
Hu Maoshen actually hit them on the head of Yingnanfu, how could he tolerate it? If he takes care of it, there will be a lot of trouble after that.
No, absolutely not!
Li Taixing glanced at the frightened Chen Zhao and asked coldly, "Are you from Changtianfu?" ”
Chen Zhao nodded hurriedly, "Go back to your lord!" Precisely! ”
"As a servant of the Changtian Mansion, what should you be guilty of when the flood comes, but you escape?" Li Taixing pointed at Chen Zhao and shouted angrily.
Chen Zhao's heart froze, he didn't expect Mrs. Li to suddenly attack. But how dare he be disrespectful at this moment?
Hurriedly replied respectfully: "My lord! The lowly duty knows that he is guilty, and he is willing to rush to Changtianfu at this moment to make up for the mistakes of the lowly position. ”
Li Taixing is quite satisfied with Chen Zhao's knowledge, and now Qian Huichun is dead, but someone must take the blame for the matter of the river embankment.
Dead people can't speak, so it's best to use them to carry the blame, but it's also a bit difficult to calculate.
Chen Zhao was originally Qian Huichun's confidant, and he should know some inside information, maybe this person can take advantage of it.
Let Chen Zhao take the blame directly, Li Taixing didn't plan to do so. After all, Chen Zhao is still a servant, he is not in the stream at all, and he can't carry such a banner, this matter is none other than Qian Huichun.
It had been planned before to let Qian Huichun take the blame, but Qian Huichun's suicide was beyond his expectations.
However, the arrival of dead people does not hinder it, but it is more convenient to act.
"Of course you want to go to Changtian Mansion, you are the official of Changtian Mansion, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Li Taixing touched his beard, but after a while, an idea took shape in his mind.
"You adults treat you so seriously, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are his henchman, and what this official said is yes or no?"
Li Taixing looked at Chen Zhao's eyes full of threat, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Chen Zhao nodded hurriedly, "It's not a confidant, but Lord Qian has some errands, and they are all called lowly to do it." ”
His mind was spinning rapidly, and at this moment he could also taste Li Taixing's meaning.
