Raid

Chapter 149
Xu's father is old and mature, but Xu San is different. He is the most youthful, and he vents his dissatisfaction and disdain. Ask him, and you will definitely find out a lot of things.

Xu San was kidnapped. When he woke up, he saw Rong Zhi and Li Shengxi.He had the impression that these two people were people he met during the day.One of them even went to find Xingniang in private.

He didn't have a good impression of the people in the government.Even if these two people helped him during the day today.But in his eyes, this is nothing more than being courteous for nothing, either adultery or robbery.Otherwise, why would you abduct him now?

Thinking of this, he looked at the eyes of the two, becoming more vigilant and fierce, just like a small beast in the mountains meeting a stranger.

"What are you doing? What are you going to arrest me for?" Xu San spoke first.

"We have something to ask you." Rong Zhi glanced at Li Shengxi first, and then looked at Xu San gently.

"Ask me?" Xu San frowned.

Rong Zhi nodded, "I am an inspector sent by the imperial court, responsible for disaster relief and building dams."

When it came to building the embankment, Xu San's eyes were full of pain, and he said angrily: "I have nothing to say! You officials, go to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and rushed towards Rong Zhi with all his teeth and claws.

Li Shengxi easily restrained Xu San, "Calm down."

"There's nothing to say about being calm. You officials don't have a single good thing. You dare to mention to me about building dams. Aren't you afraid of going to hell?" Xu San roared angrily, his eyes widened. Red, a tear fell silently.

"What's wrong with the dam? Isn't the dam well repaired? Where did you get so much resentment?" Li Shengxi seemed dissatisfied.

Rong Zhi glanced at Li Shengxi in surprise.

"Cultivated well?" Xu San couldn't help sneering, and then laughed loudly, as if he had heard some big joke, "It is well cultivated, can't it be repaired? So many people died, so many people It was built on top of his bones, can it be repaired well?"

Rong Zhi was startled, it is indeed easy to die when building dams under such circumstances, but according to Xu San, this dead person will definitely not be a simple dead person.

"What's so strange about the dead people who built the embankment? Could it be that your family members won't make it if they die?" Li Shengxi said indifferently.

When Xu San heard this, he wanted to attack Li Shengxi, but he was no match for Li Shengxi, "Death is not from your family, of course you are putting it lightly. You are not afraid of dying if you say such a thing? You beasts Ah, in such a heavy rain, we were asked to carry the sacks in batches. We didn’t even have enough to eat, how could we carry the sacks? But if they were not strong enough, they would whip them and beat them again. Cursing again, driving us into the water, and strengthening the embankment once, I don’t know how many people died. The natural disaster didn’t take away the second brother’s life, but you beasts took his life away. Why didn’t you die—— —Why are you still alive? Is it because your life is good? Why? Why don’t you die!”

He scolded and struggled, perhaps realizing that he couldn't get rid of Li Shengxi, so he bit Li Shengxi's hand.

The bite was deep, so Li Shengxi might as well just snort for a moment, she gritted her teeth, and stabbed Xu San behind the ear with a hand knife, knocking him out.

"Miss Ning." Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxi's hand, there was a row of tooth marks on the white arm, and there were faint bloodstains, which shows how hard Xu San bit just now.

Li Shengxi raised his hand subconsciously, wanting to touch his neck, and then shook it angrily.

Rong Zhi looked puzzled, but he still asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's just a small injury." Li Shengxi looked away, and she put her hands behind her back, "What do you think of Rong Xun?"

"There is something wrong with this matter. There is evil in Anxia County. It stands to reason that it would be very wrong to brave such heavy rain to reinforce the embankment, and if you really borrowed a lot of soldiers, how could you let the hungry victims go to the river bank?" What to do? And all the males in the family have gone." Rong Zhi frowned.

But what really worries him is not just the matter of reinforcing the embankment.It's another thing.

Logically speaking, the lie of borrowing soldiers can be easily exposed, but Zhang Bingsheng still said that he is shrewd and sophisticated. Since he dared to tell this lie, he must be sure that they will not be able to catch it, at least on the surface. Passable.

So reassured, there are two possibilities. The first is that he really borrowed soldiers, but it was just a feint, pulling those borrowed soldiers to Anxia for a while, and actually did nothing.However, this possibility is unlikely.

Second, there was no borrowing of soldiers at all, but a document for borrowing soldiers was drawn up, which was only perfunctory and foolish on the surface.

But no matter what the situation is, it is enough to show that the officials along the Jiangbei coast protect each other, and they have formed a huge network of relationships to deceive the court together.

And who is the center of this net is not difficult to imagine.

The situation in the south is even worse than they thought.

Rong Zhi thought of this, and Li Shengxi naturally thought of it too, she squinted her eyes, "Have you brought the pamphlet given by County Magistrate Zhang?"

Rong Zhi nodded, and quickly handed it to Li Shengxi.

Li Shengxi took a book and flipped through it quickly. When she turned to a certain page, she stopped suddenly, and quickly slid her fingers on the booklet. She slowed down when she reached a certain line of words, "Look Xu Er, was lost during the disaster. But Xu Xingniang told me today that Xu Er obviously died while reinforcing the embankment, why did they hide it, or did they sentence Xu Er to death from the beginning?"

Rong Zhi frowned.

"I heard from them that many people died when the embankment was reinforced, but in this booklet, there are very few people who died when the embankment was reinforced. Most of them died from natural disasters." Li Shengxi looked serious.

Rong Zhi nodded, "Yes...and at that time, before the situation stabilized, Zhang Bingsheng hurriedly asked the victims to reinforce the river embankment. This is no reinforcement, it is clearly asking the people to die. He is not afraid of causing people to die. change?"

"In ordinary times, it might cause a civil uprising. But after this catastrophe, the people are starving and Anxia has been reduced to a purgatory. How can the unarmed victims win the battle? What's more, if it is really a civil uprising, maybe it will be the opposite. What they mean - if they wanted the common people to die from the beginning." Li Shengxi calmly analyzed.

"If it's a gathering for profit, why are they spending so much trouble?" Rong Zhi asked seemingly unintentionally.

Li Shengxi looked at Rong Zhi with deep meaning, "Then I have to ask the inspector."
