Chapter 582
Cui Liang felt a little strange, raised his head and sneaked a peek at the upstairs boat, only to see that there was no sign of the deposed envoy Di Renjie under the guard of honor.

Cui Liang raised his head in doubt, and Wu Wendeng beside him asked softly, "What's going on here?"

Cui Liang shook his head slowly.

Yang Jiucheng on the other side said: "Lord Inspector, you put on a guard of honor, but the deposed envoy doesn't show up. What does that mean?"

Cui Liang glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Calm down, speak carefully."

Before the words were finished, I heard a loud chants from inside the boat: "Master Feng Keyan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is here!"

The three of Cui Liang were taken aback, looked at each other, and quickly kowtowed.

On the second floor of the building, Feng Keyan walked quickly to the center and said loudly: "Lord Inspector, Yangzhou officials, please stand up!"

Cui Liang and others led all his staff to stand up.

Feng Keyan said: "My lords, because of the changeable weather, the deposed envoys are invading your body in the cold, occasionally catch a cold, and are sick, so you can't declare the decree. Therefore, everyone, please return to the government for the time being, and listen to the call! "

The officials were taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Cui Liang took a step forward and said, "Why, Mr. Feng, old man Di Ge is sick?"

Feng Keyan nodded and said, "Exactly."

Cui Liang hurriedly said: "My lord is suffering from illness in Yangzhou, and I feel very uneasy. I don't know if there is any need. I will be there for orders, and I dare not delay!"

Feng Keyan said: "Older Di Ge told me that typhoid fever is really a minor illness, and it can be cured after resting for two days, so there is no need to disturb the place!

Please rest assured, Lord Inspector, I will definitely convey your good wishes to Di Renjie, and there is no need for labor. "

Cui Liang bowed and said: "In this way, Lord Lao Feng will retire and wait for the call."

Feng Keyan cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Di Ge asked me to apologize on my behalf, everyone forgive me!"

Cui Liang and the others all bowed together and said: "Master Di is on the herds for the Son of Heaven. How dare a lowly rank be apologized. Master Di is too humble, such a lowly rank will resign!"

Feng Keyan nodded, turned around and walked into the official cabin behind him.

Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng who were standing next to each other looked at each other and took a deep breath.

Yang Jiuzheng on the side snorted heavily and said, "What a big shelf!"

Cui Liang suddenly turned his head and reprimanded in a low voice: "Speak softly, don't talk too much!"

Yang Jiucheng quickly shut up.

Cui Liang waved his hands at Wu and Yang and said, "Go back."

All the staff followed Cui Liang and slowly exited the dock.

……

The water surface of the Hangou section of the Grand Canal is empty and depressed.

The cold wind howled, and there was silence around the river bank.

In the distance, a solitary flat boat was going down the river. There were a few people standing on the bow and stern decks, pointing and pointing.

The boat quickly came to the front, and standing at the bow were Di Renjie, Zeng Tai and Fang Jiu.

At the stern are Di Chun, Zhang Huan and other guards.

Fang Jiu at the bow said to Di Renjie, "Sir, this is Hangou."

Di Renjie nodded, sighed and said: "Hangou is the throat of the canal, connecting Huai River in the north and Weiyang in the south. In the past, thousands of boats held the water and raced across the mast. Now, boat capsizes happen frequently, the river channel is blocked, and water transportation is not going well. A desolate look."

Zeng Tai said: "My mentor is right. The Hangou is not smooth, the water transportation is stagnant, and the official salt produced by the salt fields in the south cannot be transported to the north. I am afraid that all the counties north of Shanyang will be seriously short of salt."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "So, we must find out the truth about the shipwreck in Hangou as soon as possible, dredge the canal, and restore water transportation as soon as possible.

This time, we got off the boat halfway, and we came here in order to learn about the situation of the shipwreck from the farmers on both sides of Hangou and listen to what they said. "

Zeng Tai said: "Yes. This will definitely help us solve the mystery of the shipwreck as soon as possible."

Di Renjie nodded.

Suddenly, Fang Jiu beside him said, "Sir, look."

Di Renjie turned his head, and saw a dilapidated village not far away by the river bank.

Fang Jiu said, "Sir, that's our Shanggou Village!"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Are there any fiber households in the village?"

Fang Jiu said worriedly: "When we escaped, there were only old and weak women and children left in the village. I don't know what's going on now."

Di Renjie said to Shao Gong who was driving the boat: "Bar the boat to the shore!"

……

The door of the Second Hall of the Governor's Mansion opened with a bang, and Cui Liang, Wu Wendeng and Yang Jiuzheng walked in quickly.

Wu Wendeng closed the hall door and said, "My lord, what kind of medicine is sold in Di Renjie's gourd? Could it be that he really caught the cold by accident?"

Cui Liang shook his head slowly and said: "I don't think so, there must be articles in it. I have heard that Di Renjie will go to the public in a low-level suit every time he handles a case. Could it be that this time he is also pretending to be sick, but actually investigating secretly?"

Wu Wendeng was taken aback and said: "My lord, if he really finds out something, then we will be passive!"

Yang Jiucheng on the side said: "Hey, the two adults are too mediocre. What kind of private visit is just a show.

Now, Wang Zhou is dead, those poor households are running away, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, what big waves can they cause?
At worst, the surname Di said that my Cao Yamen was corrupt to collect the money for protecting the water from the households. At that time, I would put all the responsibility on Wang Zhou and give him a death sentence.

Without evidence, what can he do to me! "

Cui Liang took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Di Renjie is a famous official in the world, do you think he has earned his fame? This man is scheming, cunning and deceitful, he is really a powerful character.

Jiucheng, you'd better curb your frivolity and impetuosity, otherwise, you will suffer a catastrophe, and it will be too late to regret it! "

Wu Wendeng nodded again and again: "Mr. Governor is right. Mr. Yang, you must not be negligent and negligent, and you must be careful."

Yang Jiuzheng grinned indifferently and said, "Don't worry, my lords, I will be careful."

Cui Liang said: "Sun Tzu said: 'If you don't fight, you will be defeated.'

It means that before the decisive battle for the general, you must not only think about how to win, but also assume failure, and think clearly about the reasons for your own failure.

In this way, it is possible to take precautions before the war, pick up the leftovers and make up for the vacancies, so as to make a perfect plan. "

Wu Wendeng tentatively asked, "My lord, what do you mean..."

Cui Liang said slowly: "It means, we need to calm down now and think carefully about whether there are any loopholes in the whole thing."

……

Shanyang is located in the north of Yangzhou, and is the water and land hub of the Huaibei area.

It was noon, the streets were crowded with people, and the shops, taverns and hotels on both sides were very lively.

In the distance, a cloth-covered carriage came along the street, the driver yelled loudly, and Zhanggu Jihu was sitting on the shaft.

The curtain of the carport was lifted, and Lu Jiying showed his head, looking at the bustling scene on the street, with a smile on his face, and said to Ning who was beside him: "Sister Xian, we're here, this is Brother Yu's residence." ——Shanyang County.”

Ning Shi also showed her head, looked around and said: "It's so prosperous. From my little sister's point of view, it is not inferior to Luoyang, the capital of God.

It seems that the eldest brother is really a good county magistrate, and managed a small county so impressively. "
