Chapter 62 [Vengeance] (Part 2) for the Whocool Alliance
Xu Qinglian had never been so embarrassed in his life. He took a deep breath of the air with the strong smell of urine, forced himself to calm down from the confusion, squeezed out a stiff smile and said: "I'll get up and drink water...
I accidentally spilled it..." The description becomes darker and darker, which means that there is no three hundred taels of silver here.
Guo Shouguang was quite clever, so he bowed his hands and said, "Sir, change your clothes first, and we'll wait outside."
Hu Xiaotian had no intention of leaving, he still stood there with a smile, staring at Xu Qinglian's crotch with his two sneaky eyes. Xu Qinglian was so angry that he wanted to dig out this guy's eyes alive. He said in a bad mood.
: "What else can you do when you come back?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's a small matter. Your Excellency asked me to repair the Qingyun Bridge, but do we have any money? If we allocate it to the people, there will definitely be complaints and the people will not be able to make a living. I have come up with an idea for a charity sale. Maybe I can raise some money. I don't know.
What do you think, sir?"
Xu Qinglian's patience has reached its limit. He just wants this hateful boy to disappear in front of him as soon as possible. He said impatiently: "You can decide on the idea you come up with yourself. You don't need to ask me for advice."
"Sir, do you mean to support or oppose?"
Xu Qinglian's anger was on the verge of exploding. He glared at Hu Xiaotian and said: "Support, I support. As long as you can repair Qingyun Bridge, I don't care what method you use."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled: "Thank you for your trust, sir. I will take my leave now!"
As soon as Hu Xiaotian left, Guo Shouguang didn't dare to stay. He followed Hu Xiaotian's footsteps and went out, holding up his own oilcloth umbrella. When he found Hu Xiaotian waiting for him at the door, Guo Shouguang thought about being kicked in the black by this guy and felt it from the bottom of his heart.
Shivering. He nodded slightly to Hu Xiaotian and wanted to leave, but Hu Xiaotian stopped him: "Lao Guo!"
Guo Shouguang looked around and saw that there was no one else. Lao Guo designated him as his address. He coughed and said, "What are your orders, Mr. Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "You are responsible for all the announcements in the Yamen, right?"
Guo Shouguang hummed.
Hu Xiaotian said: "There are rumors everywhere in Qingyun that I proposed to force each household to donate five taels of silver. I drafted an announcement and gave it to Mr. Xu, but it has not been posted yet. Are you obstructing it?" He asked
Guo Shouguang didn't need to be polite at all.
Guo Shouguang said with a bitter face: "Master Hu, how can you say this? I have never seen any announcement, how can I post it widely?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I still have one here." The guy handed the prepared announcement to Guo Shouguang: "You also heard what Mr. Xu said just now. Mr. Xu has been ill for the past two days and asked me to take full responsibility inside and outside the yamen.
Should you cooperate with me on this matter?"
Guo Shouguang said: "When you are a low-ranking official, you should obey your orders."
Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "Let's do it as soon as possible. If Mr. Guo continues to delay my matter, I will go to Mr. Xu to discuss it with you."
Guo Shouguang was just talking about theory. Who is afraid of whom? But Hu Xiaotian probably had no intention of arguing with him, so he turned around and headed towards the court. When Hu Xiaotian left, Guo Shouguang thought about it and turned back, returning to Xu Qinglian's room.
The county magistrate had already changed his wet pants and was making the bed. Xu Qinglian had not done this kind of thing personally for many years.
Seeing Guo Shouguang coming back, Xu Qinglian couldn't help but became furious. The anger he had just suppressed suddenly exploded: "What else do you want?"
Guo Shouguang looked innocent and sighed: "Sir, I am here for this announcement..."
Xu Qinglian said angrily: "Don't ask me. You go ask him!"
"Can……"
Most of the county government officials went home to fight floods and rescue operations. The few who stayed in the county government did not listen to the instructions of the new county magistrate. Hu Xiaotian could only go to the prison cell. Six strong men were selected from the prison cell.
Strong prisoners, none of these six prisoners are repeat offenders. In fact, there are no repeat offenders in the Qingyun County prison cell. They were all caught for trivial matters and could not afford to pay the fines, so they could only sit in prison honestly.
Zhou Batian is one of the special cases.
The reason why Hu Xiaotian took six people away was to provide cover for Zhou Batian. He pretended to let these prisoners go to the embankment to help protect the embankment. In fact, he released Zhou Batian.
The rain still showed no sign of letting up. In just one morning, the water level of the Tongji River had risen a lot. After receiving the news, more than ten government officials from the third class arrived. Hu Xiaotian organized them into three groups to patrol the dam.
, these six prisoners were also divided into various groups by him.
Hu Xiaotian asked Murong Feiyan to call Zhou Batian under the temporary rain shelter, pointed to the stool beside him and said: "Sit down!"
Zhou Batian smiled, his tall and burly body still standing there: "I don't dare to sit in front of adults!"
Hu Xiaotian cast his gaze outside at the hazy world made up of dense rain lines, and sighed softly: "This rain has been very heavy. Many places in Qingyun City have already been flooded. If there is a problem with the embankment, we don't know what to do.
What a disaster it caused."
Zhou Batian said: "The water surface is still five feet away from the embankment. Even if such heavy rain continues for two days, there will still not be a big problem."
Hu Xiaotian said meaningfully: "We are not afraid of natural disasters, we are afraid of man-made disasters!"
Zhou Batian said: "Sir, are you worried that someone will take this opportunity to destroy the river embankment?"
Hu Xiaotian pointed to the Qingyun Bridge in the distance. The Qingyun Bridge could be blown up. It was hard to say that these thieves would not attack the embankment.
Zhou Batian said: "Sir, there is no need to worry. If the embankment is damaged, the road from Qingyun to Honggu will be washed away. This is definitely not the result that those people want to see."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why did the horse thieves from Tianlang Mountain blow up the Qingyun Bridge? What other secrets do you know?"
Zhou Batian smiled and said: "My lord is really very curious. The horse bandits in Tianlang Mountain are by no means as simple as you think. If you offend them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get a good night's sleep during your stay at Ren Qingyun."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I always feel that your current name is much more powerful and evil than Zhou Mo."
Zhou Batian said: "So if Zhou Mo dies, Zhou Batian can continue to live."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why did the bandits from Tianlang Mountain blow up the Qingyun Bridge?"
Zhou Batian did not answer Hu Xiaotian's question, but slowly squatted down, grabbed a straw stick from the ground, and chewed it habitually with the moisture of the rain.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Hutou Camp is a famous elite division in Xichuan. I have checked your past records, and it can be said that you have numerous military exploits. With a hundred well-trained brothers, you should not have been defeated by that group of horse thieves.
's subordinates."
Zhou Batian's face showed an expression of extreme pain. He covered his huge head with a pair of big hands, and his breathing became obviously heavier: "There is a traitor! He poisoned our food. Poor my brothers are being ambushed.
He was even unable to pick up a weapon..." His eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth to control his emotions.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Has the news been leaked before you went to Tianlang Mountain to suppress the bandits?"
Zhou Batian slowly shook his head and said: "It is not to suppress bandits. The purpose of our trip of 100 people through Tianlang Mountain is to escort the young prince of South Vietnam back to his country..."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked. He had never heard anyone talk about this before.
Zhou Batian said: "The young prince of Nanyue was sent to Dakang as a hostage twelve years ago. The King of Nanyue wrote many times to implore His Majesty to show mercy. He was seriously ill at the beginning of the year and mentioned this matter again. He wanted to see his youngest son in his lifetime.
, Your Majesty, considering that the Nanyue Kingdom has bowed its head for many years and paid tribute every year, he finally showed mercy and sent someone to send the Nanyue Prince back. We were ordered by Mr. Li to escort the Nanyue Prince and his entourage to the border of the South Vietnam Kingdom, but we did not expect that there would be
Tianlang Mountain was ambushed."
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Where is the Prince of South Vietnam now?"
Zhou Batian slowly shook his head and said: "Since the ambush that day, we have lost news about him. Later, I got a message saying that His Majesty changed his mind and rejected the request of the King of Nanyue. I think this matter
It is most likely related to the ambush, and I am afraid that the South Vietnamese prince is in danger."
Hu Xiaotian finally understood why Zhou Batian wanted to remain anonymous and hide in Qingyun's cell. This matter was not trivial. Even his future father-in-law, Li Tianheng, the founding father of Xichuan, could not protect them. Only then did three people escape by chance.
The beheading of soldiers from Hutou Camp.
Zhou Batian said: "I can't let those brothers die in vain. The reason why I stay here is to cut off Yan Kui's head with my own hands and use his blood to pay tribute to the souls of my brothers."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Have you been waiting for the opportunity?"
Zhou Batian said: "Ever since they blew up the Qingyun Bridge, I knew that the opportunity had finally come. They must have been planning a robbery. The purpose of blowing up the Qingyun Bridge was to bypass Qingyun County. From this point, it is not difficult to conclude that they
There must be collusion with officials within the Qingyun County government. This robbery must be a major case. If you blow up the Qingyun Bridge and attack in Honggu County instead, you can break away from the relationship and put all the responsibilities on the officials of Honggu County.
On the body."
"Who are they trying to rob?"
Zhou Batian shook his head and was about to speak when he saw a group of soldiers approaching. He quickly got up and walked away. Hu Xiaotian looked up and saw County Captain Liu Baoju coming with twenty soldiers.
Hu Xiaotian and Liu Baoju had never interacted before. He stood up and greeted each other. Liu Baoju also had a spring breeze on his face and walked into the thatched pavilion with a moist breath. He cupped his fists and saluted: "Master Hu, I heard that the flood situation in Tongji River is urgent.
That’s why I brought people here to support me.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Liu is really a timely help. I am worried about the shortage of manpower here, so I temporarily transferred six prisoners in the cell to help."
Liu Baoju pointed to the twenty soldiers behind him: "These people are all my subordinates. Sir Hu only needs to dispatch them!"
