fake prince

Chapter 155

Su Ziji was just thinking about it. Suddenly, a beggar hurried over and said a few words to the Ye Daoist. A calm man like the Ye Daoist immediately changed his color: "What, the Nantun Dam burst, and the flood came out. how many villages?"

"Why did you break your mouth?"

"I don't know, it was executed in the middle of the night." The beggar replied and left in a hurry.

Su Ziji's face was so ugly that he stood up after propping up the table, Huang Liangping was dismissed for inspection, and Nantunba collapsed. Isn't this too coincidental?

The two looked at each other, and Su Ziji sat down slowly with a sneer again, and said, "If my guess is right, this Huang Liangping is decisive and a hero. The only problem is that he is inhuman."

The Nantun Dam collapsed, flooding several townships, at least hundreds of people would have died, doing this just to get rid of the crime, it really brought disaster to the country and the people, it is really deadly!

"Now it's up to the imperial envoy, whether he has thought about this and how to deal with it." Ye Taoist said quietly.

Luo Pei is an imperial envoy for river control, and now that the river dam has collapsed, it is a great dereliction of duty.

With this primer, backlash is imminent!

At this moment, Luo Pei was really anxious, he woke up in the middle of the night, and he hasn't slept until now.

"One place in Nantun Dam collapsed, and three villages were flooded in a mess. There is no way to count the dead!" Luo Pei stared at several people: "Long live ordered me to inspect the river defense, but now something happened, and I was punished and suspended. It’s still a trivial matter, the key is how to explain to the court and the people, if you have any ideas, just say it.”

He was already thin, but now he looks a few years older, leaning on the back of the chair and drinking strong tea to refresh himself.

There were not many people in front of him, and when something happened, Tongzhi, the state judge, the governor of the government, and the county magistrate all disappeared, only the eighth-rank follower Qiu Chang, Taoist Liu Zhan, and Zheng Yingci followed.

The crowd didn't speak, just murmured, Luo Peiluo glanced disappointed, pointed at Zheng Yingci: "You are a local, tell me."

Zheng Yingci was called by name, and he didn't rush to answer. After a long time, he said: "My lord, the first thing to do now is to quickly seal the Nantun Dam and reinforce it with a straw bag full of mud. As long as it is sealed, everything will be done." It's much easier to handle."

"The imperial envoy has ordered me to handle this matter." Qiu Changhong's eyes were bloodshot: "I have strictly ordered and supervised the task and mobilized [-] migrant workers. If anyone dares to perfunctory at this juncture, I ask your lord to follow the royal order." The flag beheaded him."

Then he said to Luo Pei: "My lord, something happened to Nantun Dam, which shows that all the dams are unreliable. Now we must immediately urge the provincial treasury to allocate money for water control."

"As for the responsibility, you should report the situation to the emperor. This province has collapsed every year. When you are new here, the emperor will definitely not blame you for this mess."

Only then did Liu Zhan sneer: "It's easy for you to say, Nantun Dam is indeed a trivial matter, but it is a county dam, and it is not difficult to repair it with two or three thousand migrant workers."

"But this matter is very sensitive. My lord has offended many people. If this execution fails, the government and provinces will rush to impeach."

"King Qi will not let go of this opportunity."

"Yes, it's impossible for the emperor to question your lord for this matter, but it's not just Nantunba. If there are two or three, five or six breaches in the province, the impeachment will fall like rain."

"The emperor's patience is not infinite."

Luo Pei was stunned, he had sensed it, got up and took a few steps, then turned around suddenly, and asked hoarsely: "You mean, the Nantun dam collapsed, isn't it natural?"

"It may be natural, or it may be a man-made disaster. No matter what it is, it will be difficult for you and me to guard against it, right?" Liu Zhan couldn't help feeling troubled.

Luo Pei's body trembled slightly, and then he felt that he might be reckless. He dismissed a magistrate at the beginning and broke the official rules. Now that this happened, no one in the surrounding counties dared to approach him.

If someone secretly played tricks, broke the embankment today, and broke the hole tomorrow, it doesn't need five or six times, two or three times, the emperor's thunderous wrath may come.

Even if the emperor endured it, if the prefectures and counties do not cooperate, and the errands are delayed for a long time, the more delays, the more serious the disaster, it is better to dismiss him now!

Just such a small move put him in an unexpected situation. Luo Pei pondered for a long time, and was about to speak through gritted teeth, when Zheng Yingci suddenly said, "I don't believe it!"

The voice of these words was a bit loud, and everyone's eyelids twitched in shock.

"Picking up the embankment has affected a county and a government. Once it is discovered, not only the whole family will be killed, but also the nine clans. The students really can't believe it. How many provincial officials dare to jump like this?"

"Building embankments is difficult, and digging embankments is also difficult. This can't be done by a few people, it must be a group of people." Zheng Yingci raised his voice when he said this: "This time it is considered artificial, but it was a fluke when I was unprepared. If it is successful, once someone is sent to inspect it, how can we dig it?"

"According to the students, it is not difficult to divide the provinces into divisions. The adults don't control the floods by themselves. They are assigned to officials in each province according to the division."

"With shared responsibilities, for the sake of their own lives, these officials, can An not be careful?"

What Zheng Yingci said was forceful, Luo Pei suddenly woke up from the demon, and laughed: "Yes, I panicked and forgot about this."

"Immediately go and find out who the person who picked up the embankment is."

As he said that, Luo Pei turned around with a gloomy face: "However, even if there is no dike digging, the water dike may not be safe. In recent years, the province has collapsed almost every year. Last year, Yihai Prefecture broke the dike, and the water depth Half a zhang, drowned and starved, more than [-] people died, the magistrate was dismissed from office, and served before being assigned to the army."

"If the prefecture and county can't do their best to control the water, I'm afraid this will be my end!"

This is what Liu Zhan wanted to say, but now he can only ask: "Then, what can I do to reverse it, my lord?"

"It's nothing more than betting one's life and concentrating on a thunderous blow." Luo Pei sneered slightly, looking at Liu Zhan: "I still say the same thing, capture the thief first, and capture the king first. Since the dragon palace in Panlong Lake has been restarted, the real person will contact him , let the Dragon Palace restrain the water demons, so that they will not be presumptuous."

"Without the water demon, no matter who dares to jump out, I will not be confused." Luo Pei looked at Liu Zhan closely, and Liu Zhan couldn't help sighing under the pressure of the imperial envoy.

After getting on the imperial boat, it was extremely difficult to get off, so I had to say: "But it may not be easy to contact the Dragon Palace."

"I know it's not easy, but isn't there Huang Liangping?" Luo Pei said lightly, "This man is the magistrate of the prefecture, and he is in collusion with the demon clan, so it's just a blood sacrifice."

"At that time, Dragon Palace will have to accept it, and real people can talk to it."

"Blood sacrifice? In the previous dynasty, there was an example of killing corrupt officials to thank the Dragon Palace, but without asking for an order, kill a fifth-rank magistrate..." The others gave it up, and the eighth-rank official Qiu Chang stood up in shock: "My lord, why don't you Think twice, think twice!"

"Qiu Chang, you are also from the Imperial Academy. This is the first time you have been inspected with me. Let me ask you, in this situation, is there any other choice?"

Luo Peige laughed, and sternly shouted: "You don't have to persuade me, I have made up my mind - Huang Liangping resisted the investigation, not only sent people to assassinate, but also made people dig the embankment, it is really insane, I am for the court and peace. According to the plan of the world, it will be rectified on the spot and complained by the common people!"

This is regardless of whether Huang Liangping did anything or not, he was blamed. Several people present were relieved. Whether it is true or not, at least it has passed the law.
