Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 744

Ye Yan hates the protection of officials and officials the most. If there is really a collusion behind this, he is not a person who is afraid of trouble, and he will definitely uproot it.

"By the way, his two concubines can't be let go. When they were arrested that day, they scratched me twice." Xiao Ke said angrily.

Hearing this, Ye Yan and Changqing laughed out loud.

"One is prosperous, one is both prosperous, and one is damaged. Those two women are not virtuous people, so they have to be punished!" Ye Yan emphasized his tone, trying to calm Xiao Ke down.

"That's fine." Xiao Ke then sighed in relief.

Xiao Ke sincerely felt that villains and women were difficult to raise, and the ancients never deceived me.

Ye Yan went to the prison to interrogate the magistrate, and before that he sent Chang Qing to investigate his background.

"My lord, I know I was wrong!" The magistrate saw Ye Yan approaching, knelt down on the ground and shouted.

The bodyguard hurriedly stepped forward to block Ye Yan, Ye Yan gave him a sideways glance: "Now I know I'm wrong? It's too late."

"Li Wu, tell me, you are young and promising, and you became the magistrate, what is the current situation?" Ye Yan said indifferently.

What Changqing investigated was that the prefect Li Wu did not collude with anyone.

At first, he was also a good official who cared about the common people. Later, the official became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more greedy for glory and wealth.

Li Wu was born in poverty, studied hard for many years, and later worked hard to become a magistrate, but was blinded by material things and lost his heart.

"My lord, I was also confused for a while, please give me another chance." Li Wu kowtowed and begged.

Ye Yan knew that Li Wu's becoming extravagant and corrupt had something to do with his two concubines.

It's just a big man, being influenced by such two superficial women, I'm really sorry for his past sufferings.

Ye Yan claimed that he did not have a holy mother's heart, and Li Wu in front of him also looked miserable.

"You look so sincere now, and it's easy to make people feel unbearable." Ye Yan said word by word.

"But do you know how many people have starved to death outside because of your ridiculous inaction?"

"I can't help them." Li Wu started to shed tears.

Li Wu showed pain on his face, and lowered his head in shame: "I originally thought to enjoy this period of time, but who knows..."

The corrupt life carries an attraction, and Li Wu gradually fell into it.

Ye Yan sneered: "Have fun for a while, Li Wu, as a parent of ordinary people, you actually say such absurd things."

After being told by Ye Yan, Li Wu wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Li Wu was originally not bad at heart. When he first became the magistrate, he was also full of enthusiasm. Later, he became obsessed with wealth and beauty.

"My lord, I have committed a heinous crime, but I beg your lord to let go of my two concubines." Li Wu gritted his teeth and said.

Changqing rolled his eyes, how could there be such a brazen person, a nest of snakes and rats, and showing off the affection of the Gu family.

"Sir, I'm sorry to the common people!"

Before Ye Yan could speak, Zhifu bumped his head to the side.

Changqing glanced at Ye Yan, who shook his head helplessly.

"It's dealt with." Ye Yan waved his hand and left the prison.

"Does this make him cheaper?" On the way back, Changqing wondered.

Ye Yan smiled and said, "Everyone is dead, we have nothing else to do, we can't flog corpses."

"Even if he feels that he has harmed the people, he will die several times!" Chang Qing still felt puzzled.

"How to deal with those two women?" Chang Qing asked.

"Leave it to Nanjiang and let them deal with it according to the law." Ye Yan was too lazy to deal with these Yingyingyanyans.

Only Ye Yan knew that Li Wu's heart was broken when he mentioned the book he read.

Ye Yan regretted not being able to deal with him personally, but the current ending is not bad.

"It's hard to keep your original intention." Ye Yan felt less angry and more regretful.

The matter of the prefect was completely resolved. After the new prefect took office, everything was taken care of very decently.

The food in the granary was originally scavenged by the prefect from the common people, so there is not much left.

Looking around, the land here has been barren for a long time.

Ye Yan thought about it, the common people must not live without food for a day.

Immediately, Ye Yan sent a revised letter to Nanli, and transferred Nanli's food to the emergency.

Nanli received Ye Yan's handwritten letter, and Xiao Ke personally delivered the letter, and packed the food overnight.

The local people only regarded Ye Yan as a living Bodhisattva, and followed him wholeheartedly.

Ye Yan and Chang Qing had a thorough understanding of the situation here. This place is located in the west, and there is a shortage of water.

Coupled with the fact that the land had been idle for too long, Ye Yan thought that the first thing to solve was the drought here.

Ye Yan learned that the water sources here are far to the east, one is in the east and the other is in the west, so the water must be diverted.

After clarifying the geographical location of the entire town, Ye Yan, Chang Qing, and Xiao Ke used their knowledge reserves to quickly calculate the shortest road.

When the people knew that Ye Yan was going to dig ditches, no one complained, and they followed Ye Yan to do it.

In just two days, the water transfer route was opened, and Ye Yan led the people to transport the water from the east to the west.

The land is moistened, and the problem of drought is easily solved.

In this way, the people's lives were guaranteed, and other water channels were opened bit by bit, completely solving the drought.

The situation in the county has improved a lot, but the former prefect made the people suffer so much that the situation could not improve for a while.

Previously, Ye Yan only saw those people who were eating chaff and swallowing vegetables, and he was determined to make a good repair on the land.

The local economic situation has fallen to the bottom, and everything is being suppressed.

"Changqing, outside of this county, we still need to check carefully and find out more details." Ye Yan suggested.

Changqing nodded: "Yes, I also think there are still many problems in this county."

This is what Ye Yan is most worried about. He hasn't fully understood the situation around the county.

Xiao Ke was preparing to prepare the carriage when Ye Yan stopped him in time.

"No need, let's walk." Ye Yan waved his hand.

Thinking that the people outside were suffering, Ye Yan couldn't bear to go there in a carriage.

Under the guidance of Ye Yan, the new magistrate established many soup kitchens.

Many frail people were unable to take care of themselves for a while, and relied on the care of the officials to relieve them a lot.

At this moment, Ye Yan's bodyguard suddenly reported the situation.

"My lord, let's take a step to speak." The guard said with some embarrassment.

Ye Yan's own people didn't change their faces when encountering things. Looking at the guard's face, something must be wrong.

"What happened? But there's something wrong with the river?" Ye Yan asked.

The guard replied: "My lord, everything in the river is going well, it's because a town outside the county is sick."

After Ye Yan heard it, his heart skipped a beat.

Disease is no small matter, once it expands, it can kill everyone.
