After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 177: The Dark Game Falls (Part )
Zhu Xianzhi covered half of his face which was numb and painful, thinking to himself that Marquis Yongning had a close personal relationship with the second prince, Prince Rui, so he had the opportunity to talk to the person sent by Prince Rui.
He had previously promised the aides sent by King Rui from the capital that after marrying Lin Luoling, he would try every means to swindle Lin's gold, silver, jewelry, shops and other valuables and hand over 70% of them to King Rui, who would then find an official position for Zhu Xianzhi in the capital.
Now that he has divorced Lin Luoling, if King Rui knew about this, he would surely be furious, and he and Marquis Yongning would become enemies again.
After hearing that the eldest prince, Prince Jin, asked him to dig a dam, he grasped at a life-saving straw and asked, "I didn't mean to refuse. I just want to know if you can protect me and find me an official position in the capital if I work for your Highness Prince Jin?"
The man sneered, "It's a blessing to be able to protect you. What? You dare to make conditions when working for His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"
Zhu Xianzhi waved his hands repeatedly, fearing that the man would take his life in a rage. Although he was a seventh-rank Du Shui Cheng, he knew very well that if the secret guards sent by King Jin wanted to kill him, they would make sure to make it look foolproof and make him appear to have committed suicide.
He said, "I will certainly work hard for the King of Jin, but I don't want to stay in Jingxuzhou anymore. Didn't you just say that my uncle and I have become enemies? Although his official position is not as high as mine, he has been in Jingxuzhou for so many years and has secretly worked for the second prince, King Rui. If he wants to harm me, I can't do anything about it."
The man snorted coldly and said, "We'll talk about this after you finish this matter."
Before the voice fell, the person disappeared.
Such skills made Zhu Xianzhi gasp.
In fact, since he took over the post of Du Shui Cheng, he discovered that the previous Du Shui Cheng had drafted a report stating that there were cracks in the mountain dam and that it needed to be rebuilt by digging holes.
However, the previous Du Shui Cheng was hastily transferred, so this matter was put on hold.
Therefore, on the next day, Zhu Xianzhi copied the report drafted by the previous Du Shui Cheng and submitted it to Cao Peng, the governor of Xuzhou in Jing.
Cao Peng just glanced at him indifferently and told Zhu Xianzhi with a forced smile that this matter should be reported to the Du Shui Si.
Zhu Xianzhi didn't know the specific process and had no one to ask, so he thought the matter was not under Cao Peng's jurisdiction, so he ordered someone to send the report as quickly as possible to the Du Shuisi in the capital.
After returning home, the man in the nightgown crossed his legs and sat in a wide chair, drinking tea leisurely. After hearing what Zhu Xianzhi said, a gleam of brilliance flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he said in a calm voice:
"You can make the decision on your own for such a small matter. Submitting the report is just a formality. I'm afraid it will take three to five months before we get a reply from the Waterworks Department.
If that's the case, what will you do if His Royal Highness Prince Jin blames you?"
Zhu Xianzhi thought what the man said was very true, so he ordered people to start digging the dam the next day.
But he didn't know that if Du Shui Cheng wanted to dig a mountain dam, he should report it to Cao Peng first and then to Du Shui Si.
In the previous life, the Du Shui Cheng never reported the matter of digging the mountain dam at all, but received the order from the King of Jin and ordered people to dig the mountain dam privately.
The reason why the previous Du Shui Cheng drafted a report on the reconstruction of the mountain dam in this life was because he obeyed the order of King Jin and made Zhu Xianzhi the scapegoat.
Zhu Xianzhi, who had never served as an official, was not familiar with the position of Du Shui Cheng, which led to him happily becoming the scapegoat.
Cao Peng received an order from King An and summoned all the villagers who would be affected by the disaster to go to the North Mountain to dig a cave.
Lin Luoling also asked Biyou to go back to the Lin Mansion and tell Jiang Feng that the villagers in the village that would be submerged by the flood were also sent to Beishan and put up for sale at a low price.
Upon learning of this, Prince Jin and Prince Rui naturally secretly sent people to buy the manor that Lin had put up for sale.
Before we were happy for three days, the heavy rain came as expected.
It started out as a drizzle, but by noon it was getting heavier.
Before nightfall, there was a loud "boom" and the flood broke through the cracked dam and rushed down.
In just three hours, five or six villages were flooded and houses were destroyed.
The villagers who had been forcibly taken to Beishan before finally realized what was happening and knelt down, saying:
"I was wrong to blame Governor Cao. If it weren't for him, my family of three generations and more than 20 people would have been washed away by the flood."
"Inspector Cao must have been sent by God to save us, otherwise how could he have predicted the future?"
……
There are all kinds of chatter about everything.
But what they said was all about expressing their gratitude to Governor Cao for saving their lives.
Some people even say that Cao Peng is a god sent down from heaven to save the world from disaster.
When King Rui learned that the mountain dam had been washed away and the two farms he had just bought were flooded, he was furious and killed the two aides who had made this suggestion.
The Prince of Jin was extremely angry. He had been recruiting soldiers and buying horses in recent years and was not well off to begin with. Not only did he ask his mother for a thousand taels of silver, he also asked the Princess to go back to her mother's family and get a lot of silver, enough to buy three farms.
All three villages were submerged, and the mountain dam was also destroyed by the flood. Not to mention being able to break the dam and rob the tomb to get the gold, silver and jewelry, I'm afraid that the coffin of the princess in the ancient tomb would have been washed away by the flood.
This is simply a case of losing both the wife and the army.
The King of Jin was so angry that he had a high fever that night and ordered his butler, "You go to Xuzhou in person and kill Zhu Xianzhi for me!
No! I will tear him into pieces!"
