Lei Yue Longmen

The main purpose of this trip is to investigate the flood resettlement case of Chongyang County, Chongyang County, Jiangbei. Is there any place where the censor participated in the performance? Officials withheld money for disaster relief.

Chongyang County is located on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Zhuohe River. The overall terrain is relatively high. There is still a considerable distance between the counties in the south of the county and the Zhuohe River. Therefore, whenever there is a flood in the Zhuohe River, the counties in the south of the county are the must-go for the victims. place.The imperial court also took many counties in the south of the county as resettlement points for the refugees in the whole county, and distributed money and food for relief.And send a supervisory censor to inspect the officials on a regular basis.

The cause of this incident is that the disaster relief money distributed by the supervisory censor to the three counties in the south of the county last year did not match the actual amount of money received by the victims, and there may be government embezzlement.

In the name of imperial envoys, Li Jingxi and his party are actually trying to secretly find out whether the censor's participation in the performance is true or not.

Li Jingxi is quite like a sister. She went to the countryside in low clothes to find first-hand information, and went to the most remote and remote refugee villages.When the road was blocked by heavy rain and the mountain road was slippery, everyone worried about her safety and advised her to stop.The little girl would respond with a sentence "If I change my sister today, I will definitely continue to move forward", and even Cen Zhu had to look at her with admiration.

"What are you laughing at?" On the way back, the second princess saw a faint smile on the corner of Cen Zhu's mouth many times, and couldn't help asking.

"What are you not laughing at?" Cen Zhu shook his head with a smile. He didn't say anything about himself? Did Li Jingxi laugh when he couldn't understand the local accent when he was talking to fellow villagers? .

"You're obviously smiling! Don't think I? You can't see it!" Li Jingxi laughed at her very annoyingly, feeling annoyed.

"No, I just didn't expect the second princess to be such a virtuous corporal, approachable and approachable, that's all I admire!"

"Do you see how grateful you are?"

"It doesn't look like it?" Cen Zhu said innocently, holding the horse behind, spreading his hands.

"Like you big-headed ghost!"

"Good, good! I? I never lie! The princess has completed two months of tasks in one month! How can it not be admirable!"

"Tch, it's all because the father underestimates people. Just such a small matter? How could it take two months? If it wasn't for the continuous rain in this county, I can get it done in half a month!"

Cen Zhu just laughed when he heard the words, smelling the sweet mountain air after the rain, his mood was extremely cheerful, "It's so fast, I didn't expect a month to pass in the blink of an eye! Princess, let's choose a date and return to Beijing as soon as possible!" "

"Tch, I know you can't wait!" Li Jingxi despised her, grabbed the skirt of her chest and shook, "I? What are you doing? Me? Why do I feel that this place is wetter than Jiangnan!"

"This is the flood season of the Zhuohe River, and it will dry up after a while!"

The two of them trekked through the mud for half a day and finally returned to the inn.Go back to your room to wash and change clothes.When he came out, the young master was already sitting in the living room.

Li Jingxi: "Then the magistrate of the two counties caught you?"

Wu Jingchai was even more bragging than her: "That's right, Ben? Lord Marquis went out and smashed the imperial envoy's seal on the case, even the king of heaven, I will be arrested without a fight!"

Li Jingxi: "Just brag!"

Wu Jingchai: "Don't believe it, people have already escorted the capital, and they will arrive soon, don't believe it? Wait and see!"

Seeing his proud look, Er? Princess pouted.

Wu Jingchai grinned: "What about you? Is this last county still corrupt and dereliction of duty like the previous two counties? Tell me? The prison cars are all ready! Just wait? Dressed up!"

Li Jingxi despised him: "You still keep yourself? Sit down!"

"Finally, there is still a decent county magistrate among the three southern counties in this county. Otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out, and the emperor will be so angry!"

Wu Jingchai was surprised that there were still people who survived: "Hey, this is a great fruit? What's the name of the only remaining county magistrate?"

Cen Zhuo said: "It's called Hua Jinpeng! The magistrate of Nanshan County has only been in office for a year! The reputation of the people is very good, and this time, only the refugees resettled in Nanshan County received money that is exactly the same as the standard promulgated by the imperial court!"

Wu Jingchai laughed and said, "Hua Jinpeng? It seems that this person will have a great career in the future!"

There was not much time to prepare, and the group set off for Beijing early the next morning.Just after leaving Nanshan County, the weather finally cleared up one day, and then it began to rain heavily. The horses and chariots got stuck in the mud and couldn't move.They had no choice but to get out of the car and take shelter under a tree. The guards pushed the car out of the mud pit in the rain.

Cen Zhu held his umbrella and said, "No, I? See that the rain is going to get bigger and bigger. We'd better find a place to shelter from the rain, and wait until the rain stops before we go on our way! The frost has already fallen, and getting drenched in the rain is a no-brainer! "

At this time, the subordinate came down to report: "Young master, there is a ruined temple not far in front!"

Li Jingxi appealed: "First? Forget about the carriages and horses! Let everyone go to the temple to shelter from the rain!"

When he arrived at the temple, the young master was shivering from the cold: "It's already frosty, why is it still raining, what the hell is this!"

Cen Zhu looked at the rain curtain outside: "I don't know! This year's flood season seems to be very long! If it continues like this, I? I'm worried that the two dikes of the Zhuo River will not be able to hold it!"

Li Jingxi asked, "Will there be a flood?"

Cen Zhu said: "I don't know, I can't be sure!"

Wu Jingchai was dumbfounded: "Are you kidding? The beginning of winter will be in half a month. If there is a flood at this time, it will be difficult for the refugees to resettle. They can only suffer from the cold outside!"

Cen Zhu frowned: "That's the reason! How about it, when the rain stops, you continue on your way. I? Go to the north to see!"

"Are you going alone? No, you have to go with everyone!" Li Jingxi said firmly.

Wu Jingchai: "Are you two crazy? Even if there is a flood, it's not up to you and me to take care of it! That's a matter for the governor of the river and the local government office! You can't take care of it if you want to! Go and stop God Let the turbid river not flood?"

Li Jingxi: "You can't say that, just in case it can help! I believe, if my sister is here, she will definitely go."

"Don't do this!" Wu Jingchai yelled at her, "Sister Huang has been patrolling the Zhuohe River all year round, and she has experience and methods! What do you have? You will only add to the chaos if you go!"

"I?……"

"Young Master is right!" Cen Zhu echoed, "Second Princess is a precious person, and she must not be in danger. If the Zhuo River really bursts its embankment, then the entire south bank will become a dangerous place. It is better to leave quickly. For good!"

Seeing that both of them were blocking her, Li Jingxi sat alone by the fire and said nothing!

After the rain stopped, it was already dark.The village in front was still far away, and the road was difficult to walk when it rained, so everyone had to camp here and rest for a night.

After sleeping until midnight, Li Jingxi woke up and heard movement outside the temple, so he opened the curtain.Stepping over the legs of the sleeping guards and walking to the gate of the temple, he saw Cen Zhu leading a horse outside the gate and bidding farewell to Wu Jingchai and others.

In the rainy night sky, the stars are sprinkled, which is particularly clear.The shadow of the mountains in the distance and the end of the road seem to be clearly visible.

"Brother Cen really wants to leave?"

"Yeah, there are two during the day? It's hard to leave when the princess is here!"

"Too!"

"Second? The princess will trouble the young master to take care of her! I will take my leave!"

"Take care all the way!"

The clattering horseshoes galloped into the night in the muddy water. Wu Jingchai turned his head and saw Li Jingxi standing at the door, looking at the direction Cen Zhu left? Xiang lost his mind for a long time.Walking over, "Don't look, everyone is gone!"

Li Jingxi clenched his fists and murmured, "Who watched it? Me? I'm just looking at the moon!"

It took two days for Cen Zhu to gallop on a fast horse to reach the south bank of the Zhuo River. Along the way, she met many ordinary people who fled early. She knew the situation might be bad!When we got to the embankment, we saw many peasants strengthening the embankment on both banks.The sandbags were piled as high as a person, and the rolling river was still rising like crazy.

"No way! These sandbags can't hold up at all, and they will be washed away sooner or later!" Someone shouted loudly on the embankment.

"We don't have enough manpower! We need to send more manpower to widen the beach! I don't believe it. If we pile up two or three feet of sandbags, it will collapse!"

"But we don't have enough manpower!"

"Then go to the village to find it!"

"The young and strong men from the nearby villages are here!"

"Then go where there are people? Look for it! Find as many as you can!"

"But, there is no one left! Those who can come have come, and those who cannot come have fled!"

"I? Don't care, you give me? Find a way to get someone!"

At this time, a young man with outstanding appearance came to meet him, and he cupped his hands and asked, "Is your Excellency Qiu Zhiru, the county magistrate of Xiashan County?"

The magistrate who had just scolded me, "I am right! I wonder if my lord is...?"

"This is Cen Zhu, the right servant of the household department. I happened to pass by this place on business. I learned that there is an emergency on both sides of the Zhuo River. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Cen, sorry for your disrespect!" The county magistrate hurriedly wiped his wet hands on his body, and bowed his hands to return the gift, "Xiashan County encountered the extremely long flood season of the turbid river, which has not happened in ten years, and the river's water soared. Stay! The county is short of manpower, I wonder if Mr. Cen can rescue him?"

"What about the nearby county?"

"All the counties and counties along the banks of the Zhuohe River are hardest hit. Now that everyone is overwhelmed, how can they help?"

"That's it, me? Go upstream and see if you can find someone to help!"

"Then please!"

Cen Zhu rode his horse upstream and found that the front line of the south bank was already extremely busy, and everyone who could be used was used, but there was really no one to be found.She had no choice but to turn around and go downstream.

I don't know how many hours of running wildly, and suddenly saw in front of me? There is a very long team, the number of people is more than a thousand, marching from north to south.Judging by the formation, it should be officers and soldiers!Cen Zhu was overjoyed and hurried forward to inquire.

Inform the headed forerunner of the history and identity, and inform the urgent situation on the south bank of the Zhuohe River.Then first? The officer didn't say a word, turned around and ran towards the carriage in the middle of the queue, got off the horse, and knelt down to pay respects!

Seeing this battle, Cen Zhu thought, what a grand gesture!

Not long after, a figure in black robe stepped out of the carriage, his face could not be seen clearly from a distance, but his figure was burly and tall!Wearing a black crane cloak with large sleeves and a silver tiger pattern, and a square?

The visitor stepped on the horse directly from the front of the car, and led two or three guards to the front of the team.Glaring at Cen Zhuo, the horse under his crotch was half a head taller than Cen Zhuo.The horse backed away in panic, Cen Zhu couldn't hold it back, so he had no choice but to get off the horse and control it.

"You are Cen Zhu?"

Unexpectedly, that man's voice was very elegant, not as imposing as his appearance!

When Cen Zhu turned his head, he saw a very stern and majestic pale face sitting on a horse!

"Exactly! I don't know who you are?"

The visitor looked up and laughed, with a gray hair stretching into the hat, "You don't know who Ben? !"

Cen Zhu's whole head exploded, staring straight at the person coming, he even held his breath!

"You are, Tu Yuanshan!"

"Bold! The name of Marquis Dingguo is also something you can call!"

Cen Zhu tensed his masseter muscles and clenched his fists, he could almost hear the crackling of his own bones!

Tu Yuanshan!

She swears at her father and enemy!

The chief culprit of her family's ruin!

Whether he is tall or short, fat or thin, finally, today, he can see clearly!

He looks quite different from Tu Yunkai. Although they both have a square face with Chinese characters and fair complexion, the corners of Tu Yunkai's eyes are always raised arrogantly, while this Dingguohou is just the opposite, with the corners of his eyes tilted upwards. The eyes are slightly drooping, showing an upside-down character.Half of the eyeballs are buried under the eyelids vigilantly, like a wolf lying in the grass, quietly scanning the prey in sight.

"Hey!" He raised his horsewhip to interrupt his subordinates, "Master Cen and Ben Hou are officials in the same dynasty, calling a name is not too much!"

Then he turned around and ordered everyone: "The whole army obeys the order, put down unnecessary vehicles, horses and luggage, the third team will stay in charge of guarding, and the rest will follow me? Go ahead? Go repair the embankment!"

Then again? Urging Cen Zhu with an unpredictable look, "Lord Cen, lead the way!"

Because of the joining of more than a thousand regular troops from northern Xinjiang, not only the levee in Xiashan County has been consolidated, but also neighboring counties have benefited a lot.In the evening, news came from upstream that Huang Shiliang, the governor of the river, had successfully diverted and released the flood, and the water level of the Zhuohe River began to gradually drop.

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked Tu Yuanshan one after another.

"Without the timely rescue of Marquis Dingguo this time, I? The counties on both sides of the Zhuo River would not have survived the flood discharge. Lord Marquis has made great contributions to saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the river!"

Although flattering was indispensable in it, Cen Zhu still felt very complicated when he heard the enemy's life-saving deeds!

"Everyone is too famous. Saving people is saving oneself? If a disaster hits both sides of the Zhuo River and the people die, I? The Northern Frontier Army will still inevitably be transferred to the disaster relief! It will not be as easy as it is now!"

"Having said that, I still want to thank Lord Hou for taking the initiative! I don't know why Master Hou came to this place?"

"Oh, something happened in Beijing, Ben? Hou has to rush back to deal with it."

Everyone thought that what he said was about Tu Yunkai's matter, "Your Majesty's matter, I'm an official? I've heard it, and my heart is full of regret and sorrow. I also ask Lord Hou to express his condolences!"

"Everyone's kindness? Hou Xin accepted it. The dog's fortune is poor, and he has no chance to receive it. If he knows it, he will be relieved."

Cen Zhu thought to himself, what could cause alarm? Ding Guohou?Even when his son died and his wife went crazy, he could use the busy military affairs at the border as an excuse not to return to Beijing in time to visit.It took a month to return to Beijing. Could it be because of Tu Yunkai's death?

It's getting late, Ben? Hou has to go back to rectify his army, and continue on his way, so I'm leaving! "

"Master Hou, go slowly!"

"Master Cen, do you want to go with me?"

"No, the officer has other things to do."

"Then Ben? Hou won't stay any longer, so farewell!"

Watching Tu Yuanshan lead his army away, someone among the officials suddenly said: "Hey, have you heard? Someone sued Tu Yuanshan recently!"

"Sued?"

Everyone seems to have heard Tianfang? Night tales, gossip enthusiasm? High, "How did you sue? Who is so bold?"

"He's from Prince Dun's Mansion. He's not famous. Before his name? I've never heard of it. His name is Qin Liang!"

Cen Zhu was shocked!

"Why sue?"

"Why else? It was twenty or ten years ago? When Cen Zhi didn't point out the burial sites of those victims, I heard that Qin Liang did! There are more than ten places!"

"Really? Isn't that conclusive evidence!"

"So what? Do you think it wasn't conclusive twenty? Ten years ago? It's not just what it should be!"

"You mean... oh, me? The Lord is in decline!"

Cen Zhu got on his horse and hurried to Beijing!Before Tu Yuanshan arrives in Beijing, we must stop the brother's "suicide" behavior!He is so stupid!That matter has long gone beyond the scope of justice and injustice, it is a struggle for rights!A mere Qin Liang, how can he compete with the entire Tu family and the East Palace!
