Chapter 155: Nantun Dam Breaks

Su Ziji was deep in thought when suddenly, a beggar came over in a hurry and said a few words to the wild Taoist. Even such a calm man like the wild Taoist immediately changed his expression: "What, the Nantun Dam collapsed and the floods were released.

How many villages have you visited?”

"Why did you collapse?"

"I don't know, it was done in the middle of the night." The beggar replied and left in a hurry.

Su Ziji's face was ugly. He pushed himself against the table before standing up. Huang Liangping was dismissed from his post and reviewed, and Nantunba collapsed. Isn't this too coincidental?

The two looked at each other, and Su Ziji sat down slowly with a sneer, saying: "If my guess is correct, this Huang Liangping is decisive in killing and a tyrant. The only problem is that he has no human touch."

The Nantun Dam collapsed, and floods were released across several villages. At least hundreds of people died. To do this just to get away with it was really a disaster for the country and the people, and it was really killing!

"Now it depends on the imperial envoy, whether you have thought of this and how to deal with it." The wild Taoist said quietly.

Luo Pei was the imperial envoy to regulate the river. Now that the river dam has collapsed, he has greatly neglected his duty.

With this introduction, the backlash is imminent!

Luo Pei was really anxious at this time. He woke up in the middle of the night and hasn't slept yet.

"Nantun Dam has burst at one point, and three townships have been flooded. There is no way to count the dead!" Luo Pei stared at several people: "Long live the order for me to inspect the river defense, but now something has happened, and I have been punished and imprisoned."

It's still a small matter, the key is how to explain it to the court and the people. If you have any ideas, just say it."

He was already thin, but now he looked a few years older. He leaned back in the chair and drank strong tea to refresh himself.

There were not many people in front of me. Something happened, and the magistrate, prefecture magistrate, prefecture governor, and county magistrate all disappeared. Only the eighth-rank official Qiu Chang, Taoist Liu Zhan, and Zheng Yingci followed.

Everyone didn't speak, they just pondered. Luo Pei glanced at it with disappointment and pointed at Zheng Yingci: "You are a local, tell me."

Zheng Yingci was called by name, but did not rush to answer. After a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, the first priority now is to quickly seal the Nantun Dam and reinforce it with straw bags filled with mud. As long as the mouth is sealed, everything will be done."

It will be much easier to handle.”

"The Imperial Envoy has ordered me to handle this matter." Qiu Chang's eyes were red and bloodshot: "I have strictly supervised the task and mobilized three thousand migrant workers. If anyone dares to mess around with the matter at this juncture, I ask the Lord to use the king's orders

The flag beheaded him."

Then he said to Luo Pei: "Sir, something happened to the Nantun Dam, which shows that all the dams are unreliable. Now we must immediately take over the vassal treasury of the province and allocate money for water control."

"As for responsibility, you should report the situation to the Emperor. This province has suffered from collapse every year. If you are a newbie here and encounter this mess, the Emperor will definitely not blame you for this."

Only then did Liu Zhan sneer: "You can put it lightly. Nantun Dam is indeed a small matter. It is just a county dam. With two to three thousand migrant workers, it is not difficult to repair it."

"But this matter is very sensitive. Your Excellency has offended many people. If this execution collapses, the provincial government will rush to impeach him."

"King Qi will not miss this opportunity."

"Yes, it is impossible for the emperor to accuse you of this matter, but it is not just Nantunba. If the province makes two, three, five or six breaches, impeachment will fall like the rain."

"The Emperor's patience is not infinite."

Luo Pei was stunned. He knew what it was like. He stood up and took a few steps. He suddenly turned around and asked hoarsely: "You mean, the collapse of Nantun Dam was not natural?"

"It could be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. No matter what it is, it's hard for you and me to prevent it, right?" Liu Zhan couldn't help but feel deeply troubled.

Luo Pei's body trembled slightly, and then he felt that he might have been reckless. He dismissed a prefect at the beginning, which was a violation of the rules. Now that this happened, no one from the surrounding counties dared to get close.

If someone secretly causes trouble, destroying a dike today and opening a breach tomorrow, it doesn't take five, six, or two or three times for the emperor's thunderous wrath to come.

Even if the emperor tolerates it, if the prefectures and counties do not cooperate and the work is delayed for a long time, and the longer it is delayed, the more troubles will be caused, it is better to dismiss him now!

Just this small moment put him into an unexpected situation. Luo Pei thought for a long time and gritted his teeth to speak. Zheng Yingci suddenly said: "I don't believe this!"

The voice was a bit loud, and everyone's eyelids jumped in shock.

"The embankment has caused harm to a county and a government. Once it is discovered, not only the whole family will be killed, but nine ethnic groups will also be punished. The students really can't believe it. How many officials in the provincial government dare to do this?"

"It's difficult to build a dike, and it's also difficult to tear it down. It can't be done by just a few people, it has to be a group of people." Zheng Yingci raised his voice when he said this: "Even if it was man-made this time, it was just a lucky break when we were unprepared.

If it is successful, once we send people to inspect it, how can we dig it out?"

"According to the students, it is not difficult to separate the prefectures and provinces. Adults do not manage water alone. They are assigned to officials in each prefecture and province according to sections."

"For the sake of their own wealth and lives, how can these officials not be careful?"

Zheng Yingci's words were so powerful that Luo Pei suddenly woke up from his demonic barrier and laughed: "That's right, I was so panicked that I forgot about this."

"Go and find out immediately who is the person who broke the embankment."

As he spoke, Luo Pei turned around with a gloomy expression: "However, even if there is no breach of the embankment, the water embankment may not be safe. In recent years, there have been breaches almost every year in the province. Last year, the embankment broke in Yihai Mansion, and the water was deep.

Half a foot, both flooded and starved, more than two thousand people died. The prefect was dismissed from office and sent to serve in the army."

"If we can't get the prefectures and counties to do their best to control floods, I'm afraid this will be my fate!"

This is what Liu Zhan wanted to say, but now he can only ask: "Sir, what can you do to reverse this?"

"It's nothing more than risking your life and gathering all your strength to strike with thunder." Luo Pei sneered slightly and looked at Liu Zhan: "I still say the same thing, catch the thief first and catch the king first. Now that Panlong Lake Dragon Palace has been restarted, the real person will contact it

, let the Dragon Palace control the water monsters so that they will not run wild."

"Without the water demon, no matter who dares to jump out, I will not hesitate." As he said that, Luo Pei looked at Liu Zhan, and faced the pressure of the imperial envoy, Liu Zhan couldn't help but sigh.

After boarding the imperial ship, I thought it would be extremely difficult to get off, so I had to say: "But it's not easy to contact the Dragon Palace."

"I know it's not easy, but isn't there Huang Liangping?" Luo Pei said calmly: "This person is the prefect of my house, and he has colluded with the demon clan, so he is just a blood sacrifice."

"At that time, Dragon Palace will have to accept it, and the real person can talk to it."

"Blood sacrifice? In the previous dynasty, there was an example of killing corrupt officials to thank the Dragon Palace, but they killed the first- and fifth-grade magistrates without asking for orders..." Others just paid it back, and the eighth-grade official Qiu Chang stood up in shock: "Sir, you are thousands of

You must think twice, you must think twice!”

"Qiu Chang, you are also from Hanlin. This is your first inspection with me. Let me ask you, is there any other choice in this situation?"

Luo Pei giggled and shouted sternly: "You don't have to persuade me, I have made up my mind - Huang Liangping resisted the investigation, not only sent people to assassinate him, but also had people dig up river embankments. He was really crazy. I am here for the sake of the court and the people."

The world plans to rectify it on the spot and let the common people complain!"

Regardless of whether Huang Liangping did it or not, the blame was placed on him. Several people present breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least it was legal.
