Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 246

Wei Zhi wanted to return to Beijing from here. Of course, local officials wanted to give him a farewell banquet. I thought Wei Zhi would refuse. Who knew he should go down.

Not to mention the governor of mianzhou, Fu county magistrate was happy and tried his best to order several tables of wine and vegetables in the best restaurant in the county. Master Bai arrived in the county this afternoon. He had just met Lord Wei. He looked at Lord Wei in surprise, but didn't speak.

Many people drank too much at this banquet, and master Bai's face was flushed. Instead of living in other hospitals in the county, he chose to live in the same inn as Wei Zhi.

In the dead of night, master Bai appeared in Wei Zhi's room.

Wei Zhi picked up master Bai who was kneeling on the ground and said, "since I promised you, I will do it naturally. After you see me off tomorrow, wait on the turn. "

Master Bai was relieved and bowed back to his room.

But he was not calm.

When he arrived at the county town from his home this afternoon, Wei Zhigang came back from the last seriously affected village. He came forward to ask for an audience, but the other party didn't seem surprised at all.

With so many squires and local tyrants accompanying him, he not only remembered his name, but also called out the place where he now lives. Even when he said that he invited him to visit Qili Village alone, he smiled meaningfully, and then agreed without asking more questions.

At that time, master Bai thought that Lord Wei knew something.

Now he is more certain.

He said he wanted to return to Beijing, but he had to quietly go to Qili Village with him. Although this is in line with his interests, does it mean that Lord Wei knew everything at the beginning, and even saw everything that happened in Qili Village these two days?

Is he trustworthy?

The thought just flashed by, and he settled down slightly.

It should be credible. He is not even afraid of saints. Will he be afraid of these officials in Yizhou?

In Yizhou, the biggest is the king of Yizhou.

Unless Wei knew he was going to rebel, why would he collude with local officials and vassal kings?

Master Bai comforted himself.

Early the next morning, Wei Zhi's team was ready to go. Wei Zhi got into a carriage and said to everyone, "the summer harvest is coming. There are a lot of work to do after the disaster. I won't waste your time. Go back."

This is impossible. Officials led by the governor of mianzhou must send people to the shilichangting.

Both the parents and officials sent them. Of course, the squires and local tyrants who came with them would not fall behind, so they followed one after another.

The mighty team went on the road, went to the official way, and arrived at the ten mile Pavilion. Wei Zhi sank his face and said, "if you send it off again, I can't go."

The governor of mianzhou was embarrassed when he heard the speech. He didn't like the plague God to stay, so he stopped and said goodbye to Wei Zhi in the ten mile Pavilion.

Master Bai followed the local gentry and tyrants to see Wei Zhi off, and then said goodbye to the prefects of mianzhou.

County Magistrate Fu turned to discuss something with him, but no one was found.

Master Bai hurried back to the village and waited at the turn of the county into the mountain road. However, in less than a quarter of an hour, Wei Zhi rode with two bodyguards from another road.

Master Bai was relieved and was about to salute. Wei Zhi waved his hand and said, "master Bai doesn't have to be polite. Let's go first."

"Yes."

The two quickly rode to Qili Village. Of course, they soon arrived at the entrance of the village in less than two quarters of an hour.

At this time, Daji just handed the confession to Liu, "except the man in the room on the right, the other two are willing to sign the confession."

Liu nodded, wrapped the confession in oil paper and put it in a box.

She was about to say something. The housekeeper reported outside the door: "madam, the hall master has brought a distinguished guest."

Liu immediately got up and said, "send everyone to the backyard, restrain the servants, let them not walk around, and ask the hall master to take them to the front hall. I'll go now."

Liu didn't even bring Mammy and the big girl around him this time, only Daji.

When Liu arrived, Wei Zhizheng stood at the door with his hands on his back, looked at the flowers in front of the hospital, heard the sound of footsteps, and turned to look.

Master Bai immediately introduced, "Sir, this is my aunt. Her family name is Liu. My cousin was a Jinshi in the first year of Dazhen and later became the magistrate of Shu county."

In the front hall, there were only master Bai, Wei Zhi and the two bodyguards he brought, as well as Liu Shi and Daji.

Liu did not speak immediately after the salute. Daji glanced at the bodyguard brought by Wei Zhi and stepped back first.

Wei Zhi nodded to his two bodyguards. There were only three people left in the hall.

"The old lady has something to say now."

Liu's Bento knelt down.

Wei Zhi quickly reached out to help her. Liu refused and looked up and asked him, "Sir, Qianwei weir shouldn't have burst this time. Tens of thousands of innocent souls who died under the flood shouldn't have died."

Wei Zhi sighed, grabbed her arm tightly, helped her up, and then stepped back: "I know."

As soon as they heard this, Liu Shi and master Bai knew they were right.

For six years, Liu had no way to complain. He didn't even dare to expose his grievances. Now he finally has a way to talk.

Liu couldn't help crying.

Wei knows: "the flood in Yizhou is very serious. Your majesty is very angry. In particular, the maintenance of Qianwei weir has only been completed in the past two years. No, to be exact, the project of Qianwei weir has only been completed in one year and eight months."

"This flood is due to summer rainstorm, but if the flat flume is not silted up, the Feisha weir is fixed, the flood is stronger, and the gold dike does not collapse, this will not happen. Maybe it can't stop the flood, it is mostly flood overflow, and there will be no flash flood."

The dike burst was so urgent and fierce that the people downstream were washed away without reaction.

Therefore, in Wei Zhi's view, this is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.

"When I was investigating the construction of Qianwei weir, I found that in the second year of Dazhen, Bai Qi, the magistrate of Shu County, once wrote a letter and wanted to hire labor from other places to repair the golden embankment. However, he was beaten back at the governor of Yizhou before he delivered it to the capital."

Wei Zhiben shouldn't have known about this, but he had to say that Bai Qi was careful enough and Wei Zhi was careful enough. When he checked various account books and case files in Shu County, he found that Bai Qi's work diary had no specific content, but wrote the date and the title of the fold up.

A normal but abnormal letter.

Normally, when migrant workers are in urgent need of water conservancy projects, they will indeed hire or dispatch some workers from abroad to support them;

The abnormality is that Qianwei weir is very large. Because it is in disrepair for a long time, the preliminary design project life is three years.

Dazhen began to allocate funds in the first year of the year, and it took another year and seven months to complete when Bai Qi turned up. Later, it turned out that the repair work was longer, and it lasted until the autumn of two years ago.

For such long-term water conservancy projects, people from all counties in the state usually take turns to serve and work here, and rarely dispatch workers from other places so early.
