Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 162 Seems Unwise
Zou Yi left Zhou's residence and got into the carriage, still indignant.

"Arrogance!" He slapped the side of the car with a slap, his face still full of anger.

Just now he thought that he was old and respectful, and he was very respectful, but he didn't want the old things to sell the old by relying on the old, and dared to humiliate him by talking inside and outside!
The so-called Ling Yin who destroyed the family, the county magistrate who broke the family!

Even though Zou Yi has spent many years in Zhulin County and his career as a subordinate official, he has already developed a disposition of resignation, but after becoming a county with the power to control life and death, he feels angry when he sees an old man humiliated.

This is the mentality of bureaucrats, work hard, and live a decent life!
"Master, where are we going now?" The official outside the carriage asked loudly.

"Go to Li's house." Zou Yi said in a deep voice.

He still doesn't believe it, none of the eight families in Fengle County is sensible, and as for this week's family, sooner or later it will fall into his hands!
Not to mention that Zou Yi continued to visit the family of the prefect in Fengle County, but said that Wu Deben left Zhou's residence, got into the carriage with a serious face, called the servants, the carriage turned around, and the rain curtain was pushed away, and gradually drove away.

Returning to the house, Wu De's face was still full of worry, he walked into the flower hall and sat down.

"Master is back." A woman dressed in jewels and elegant manners is Wu Zhang. She walked to the side and said with a smile: "Didn't you go to see Mr. Zhou today? You can marry Zhou's family for Yuanzhi's marriage." Have you agreed on a wedding date?"

"Oh, it's been agreed, it's just..." Wu Deben sighed heavily, his lips moved for a while, and finally he swallowed the words in his throat.

It is really not suitable to discuss with his wife about outside affairs.

At this moment, the bead curtain rattled, a slender catkin raised a corner, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in yellow skirt walked out slowly. Said: "Daddy, your brows are furrowed, but it's not going well?"

The girl's shoulders were slender and her waist was slender. Under the two curved eyebrows, her almond eyes were looking forward, and her voice was clean and crisp. It fell into Wu Deben's eyes, but her heart was full of satisfaction.

The most proud thing in his life is to have such a well-educated, gentle and dignified daughter.

Wu Xianzhi is good at poetry and calligraphy, and is good at Danqing. As for the way of qin music, he also dabbles a lot. It can be said that he is proficient in everything.

"Xianzhi, you have always been broad-minded and sensitive. As a father, I have a little more doubts about this marriage, and I am going to ask for your opinion." After talking about his experience, he frowned and said, "Being a father always feels vaguely inappropriate, but I can't figure out why."

Under the dark eyebrows of the young girl Ru Chunshan, a pair of clear eyes are like Xiyue, showing a hint of thought, "The reason why Daddy thinks it's wrong is probably because Mr. Zhou doesn't have much respect for the king?"

"Well, there is a part of it, but Su Jun is young, and his kindness has not spread widely in counties and counties. There is not much respect between the Zhou family's words, but it is not a big deal. It shows that the Zhou family does not regard Wei's father as an outsider." Wu Deben mused He nodded and said.

Wu Xianzhi lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said again: "Daughter heard daddy often mentioning that the new prince is not as generous and benevolent as the previous one. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has behaved rashly and harshly, and daddy is worried. Thinking, I'm afraid it originated from this."

Wu Deben nodded, and said: "Because of this, thinking about Yuan Gong... Yuan Niquan was prominent in the court and the public, and I don't know how many people admired him, but now he is dead and his family is extinct, it is really embarrassing, my lord No matter what, in terms of this kind of heart and power, it's not something you can insult arbitrarily. I'm afraid that Mr. Zhou will act like this..."

Wu Xianzhi frowned, and said: "Mr. Zhou has always been very savvy in his work. In several other companies, he is often called "Silver Fox". What kind of support does he have?"

Wu Deben was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "It's just what kind of support can make him not afraid of the wrath of thunder."

Wu Xianzhi shook her head lightly, and said: "No matter what kind of support it is, it can't quench thirst at a distance. It seems unwise for Mr. Zhou to do this."

In her opinion, no matter how confident she is, in the face of monarchy, she should at least be submissive. How unwise is it to humiliate Zou Yi openly and secretly today?
If the young prince descends with thunder, no matter how much Mr. Zhou is behind him, what can he do in such a hurry?
But Zhou Guangji didn't think so. From the information he got, Zheng Guo came here in a big way, this time with the idea of ​​destroying Su. The other prefectural families in Fengle County advance and retreat side by side, and Su Zhao can't help him in a short time.

Wu Xianzhi thought for a while, then guessed: "Zhou Laoxu has some secrets, it's just that the relationship between my Wu and Zhou families has not yet reached the point where it can be fully revealed."

Girls usually stay in the boudoir, and their knowledge is limited. They can use the information they have to deduce some truths.

Wu De was also thoughtful on his face, and asked: "Then this marriage?"

Wu Xianzhi was silent for a moment, then said in a clear voice: "You can wait for a while, wait and see, and then make plans."

"That's the only way to go." Wu Deben said with a deep gaze and sighed.

In Yangping County, on the embankment of the Hong River, the dark night fell, covering the entire land. However, the entire Honghe embankment was full of people, and the pine oil torches were lit up, like a continuous undulating fire dragon. "The sound of water flow kept ringing, the turbulent Honghe River, the rushing white river, were swirling and rushing forward.

Thousands of county soldiers, civilian husbands, and craftsmen wore coir raincoats and bamboo hats, busying themselves, either lifting stones, or holding trowels, or carrying lime, as the stones were piled up with mud, the trapezoidal river The embankment gradually increased by half a foot.

In this fairy world, there is a complete set of technology for building dikes and weirs. Not to mention other things, Jiangyan, the capital of Qin in China, has stood tall for thousands of years, so the wisdom of the ancients must not be underestimated.

Su Zhao's mana was in his eyes. Looking at this scene, he sighed, turned his head to the silver-haired girl beside him, and said, "An'an, how about leaving it to you?"

"What is it?" The silver-haired girl asked curiously.

Su Zhao said: "Examine the river embankment with your spiritual sense to see if there are any cracks seeping water. If you find them, mark them with a picture. Later we will find a way to dive into the river and close the cracks."

All embankment breaches often start from some small cracks, forming pipes, and then the torrent hits, and the cracks gradually become larger, and finally the embankment is washed away, causing a flood disaster.

Of course, if the cracks are discovered in advance, Su Zhao can call some of the monster soldiers from Jianchen Lake to dive to plug the leaks.

An An nodded when she heard the words. She knew that the safety of the river embankment was very important to Su Zhao, so she didn't delay, just cast the spell and disappeared in the distance.

"Peng Ji, walk on the embankment with me alone." Su Zhao watched An An go away, feeling relieved, and turned to Peng Ji who was holding an umbrella beside him.

The two monarchs and ministers went all the way north along the embankment, and as far as they could see, they could see reed tents set up everywhere on the embankment, steaming from the cauldrons, and craftsmen were eating meals in the reed tents. Not to mention rich, mostly vegetarian dishes and corn.

At this time, the officials at the side, seeing Su Zhao, hurried over with a group of small officials, bowed and saluted, "Pan Zhuo, the humble Fengle Commandant Cao, has seen the lord."

Because Su Zhao, the prince, was stationed on the embankment, none of the subordinate officials of Fengle County dared to sit in the back, no matter if it was Cao Guan, the chief secretary, or the long history, they all came to guard.

Moreover, Su Zhao had already passed down an order before, one official guarded a section, and if something went wrong, he would come to see him first!
Wei Cao is an official in charge of expropriating corvee. At the moment, he is taking Yamen servants and jailers to patrol around.

Su Zhao nodded to Pan Zhuo, pointed to the steaming cauldron, and said in a deep voice, "Pan Weicao, the work of harnessing the river is heavy, but most of the meals are vegetarian dishes, and meat is rarely seen. Craftsman How can you stand it?"

Wei Cao, surnamed Pan, felt his heart twitch, almost instinctively, and said, "Go back to your majesty, and provide meals for the craftsmen. Originally, it belonged to Li Hu Cao, the chief of the Li family. Let people call him because of his humble position."

Su Zhao looked pale and nodded.
