Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 117 Hate Hands Have No Power of Life or Death
On behalf of the county magistrate Yan Ying!
When Chen Qingsi heard the name and saw the strength of his kowtow and the sound of his wails, which showed that there was no hint of being bedridden, Chen Qingsi immediately felt the urge to kill him.

The power of nature is endless.

However, compared with natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, droughts, and earthquakes, snow disasters cause the least damage.

At least that's the case for Jiangnan.

Typhoons, floods, droughts, and earthquakes are beyond the reach of human power.

Snow disasters are indeed possible, and with proper prevention, the damage can be minimized.

Just like in Qingxi County, people stocked up on firewood in time and cleared the snow on their roofs in time to avoid the dangers of snow disasters.

Moreover, the collapse of houses due to snow is not like an earthquake. There is not much reaction time, and there will be a process.

Even if Jiangnan has no experience in resisting snow disasters, if officials suddenly face such a disaster and are caught off guard and mishandle it, they can effectively control losses by learning lessons and summing up experience.

However, all officials in Tonglu County were afraid of taking responsibility and cowered away, causing half of the houses in the entire county to collapse.

The casualties are countless.

In order to survive, the people organized themselves to fight against the snow disaster.

The bad guy is the leader of a gangster with a criminal record.

He has been promoted as a leader, which shows how exaggerated it is for the officials in Tonglu County to shirk their responsibilities.

If only one of these people stood up, they wouldn't be like this.

This was the first time that Chen Qingsi hated that his power was so low and his official position was so low.

If he had Xu Yushi's power, he would behead all the officials headed by Yan Ying at this moment to offer sacrifices to the people of Tonglu County who died in vain.

As a local official, it is a crime to be mediocre, lazy and negligent.

But he was only a seventh-grade county magistrate. In an emergency, Master Xu Yu, as the governor of a state, had the power to give Chen Qingsi temporary control of Tonglu County, but he had no power to give him the power of life and death.

and so……

In an instant, Chen Qingsi put on a smile and stepped forward to help Dai County Prime Minister Yanying up.

"I can't do it, I can't do it! Yanxian Cheng is quite old and is still sick. Don't catch the wind and cold. Yanxiancheng came at the right time. I'm new to the county. I'm not familiar with the place and I'm confused about many things. , I need the help of someone who knows the details. I wonder how Yan County Cheng is doing? Can he hold on?"

Yan Ying was overjoyed when he heard this.

Master Xu Yu promoted him to acting county magistrate, responsible for temporarily handling the county's government affairs. Before his buttocks could get hot, Yan Ying encountered a rare snowstorm in the south of the Yangtze River, which immediately confused Yan Ying.

There is a saying that goes well, what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers.

Ji Wen was selfish, and the team members he trained were just like him, and they were also extremely selfish people.

Yan Ying saw that the snow disaster was so terrible and that he lacked the prestige to take on a big job for the first time. He was worried that he would be unable to cope with it, that his reputation would be ruined and that he would lose his hard-earned status. In a hurry, he came up with the idea of ​​pretending to be ill for a while. idea.

As a result, the snow disaster became more and more severe. Countless houses in the city were collapsed by the snow, and the granaries in the city were turned into ruins. People starved to death, froze to death, and were crushed to death by the snow. It was out of control.

At this point, Yan Ying was even more afraid to come out.

But he himself also knew that if he really couldn't get his head out of his head, when he was held accountable afterwards, he would be indispensable.Even if the crime does not lead to death, the official position cannot be kept.

Yan Ying hunkered down at home, anxious and angry. She was really worried. Until today, when she heard the people shouting "County Magistrate Chen is here," the medicine cured her illness in an instant.The name of Mr. Qingxi Chen Qingsi is now known to everyone in Jiangnan. His talents and strategies for governing the world have long become a legend.

The opportunity to make amends is right in front of you.

Yan Ying didn't care about anything else and rushed to help wrapped in a quilt.

At this moment, hearing Chen Qingsi's enthusiastic invitation, he said excitedly: "My subordinates are willing to listen to County Magistrate Chen's orders."

Chen Qingsi was heartbroken, but she still greeted him with a smile and helped him up.

Xi Junmai couldn't help but frown as he watched. If someone like Yan Ying had been his soldiers, he would have been killed eight hundred times.

Liu Hai was not angry either, but he did not dare to say anything because of his low status, thinking that Chen Qingsi was deceived by Yan Ying's acting skills.

Chen Qingsi was not polite and asked Yan Ying to count how much food was left in the county.

Yan Ying left in a hurry.

Chen Qingsi also asked Liu Haixie to count how many people were still in the city, how many were strong and how many were old and weak.

Liu Hai bowed and left quickly.

When there were only two people in the county government office, Chen Qingsi stopped smiling and said, "Captain Xi must be surprised by my attitude towards Yan Ying."

Xi Junmai thought for a while and said, "There is one thing. If it were someone else, even cutting him off with a knife would not be enough to vent his anger." He then added, "But someone feels that County Magistrate Chen has his own considerations."

Xi Jun buys this big boss and has been trapped in Jiangnan for many years. He has smoothed some edges and corners. He can't speak politely, but his ability to say nice things has also improved to a certain extent.

"Yes!" Chen Qingsi said angrily: "I also chopped off his heart. What could I do? Cut off his head with one knife and fight for his life?"

Xi Junmai couldn't speak anymore. If Yan Ying was from his army, he would definitely kill him with one blow without saying a word.

The problem is that the other party is Dai Xian Cheng, whose status is not low. Even if he is asked to chop, he will not dare to chop.

Chen Qingsi said coldly: "If Yan Ying keeps pretending to be sick, there is really nothing we can do to stop him, and the court will not beat him to the end. Who can be free from illness? But he is too greedy, thinking that we are here, I can control the disaster and do meritorious service in the hope of acquitting myself. That's embarrassing. When I express my merits, I will record all his achievements in detail. The people above are smart and can see his behavior of evading responsibility. Even if If you don't die, you have to shed your skin. Hey, Captain Xi is waiting and watching, and Yan Ying is not the only one who hastened to deliver it."

Xi Junmai blinked his eyes, feeling a chill go up his spine, and thought to himself: No wonder Lu Yuan told him not to mess with the literati, how could he cope with this trick of laughing and deceiving people.

As Chen Qingsi expected, after Yan Ying passed away, the officials in Tonglu County who disappeared one by one appeared out of nowhere again.

They were not embarrassed at all and used various reasons to explain their previous behavior.

Chen Qingsi still responded with a smile, arranging them to do trivial matters, but he handed over the really key matters to Shi Wuzi and Liu Hai, especially Liu Hai and the group of people who led the people to save themselves with him.

In times of crisis, Fang showed his true qualities as a hero.

No matter what Liu Hai has committed before, he can stand up at this most critical time and lead the people to fight against the snowstorm, which shows the responsibility of a man.

As Chen Qingsi thought before, snow disasters are not as helpless to deal with as typhoons, floods, droughts, and earthquakes.

As long as it is handled properly, with sufficient manpower and reasonable deployment, losses can be minimized.

Chen Qingsi and Xi Junmai worked together to control the bad situation in Tonglu County.
