Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 898

[Chapter 522]

Chapter 522: Insincere and most helpless

After breaking up with Li Bai, Wang Wei didn’t go to the inn to rest either. It was raining heavily. When passing by a grocery store, he went in and bought a bamboo hat at a high price and put it on his already wet head. At least you can keep the rain out of the way to avoid getting sick.

He walked along the street and walked into the widest main road. It didn’t take long before he saw the location of the Hongnong County Office. There were two yamen guards at the entrance. To be precise, it was a pleasure.

A shed was erected at the entrance of the yamen, and the air was ventilated from all sides. Because the shed was large, the yamen sitting inside would not be swept away by the wind and rain.

The light smoke with the smell of meat flew out of the shed erratically, and the strong aroma of cumin was inhaled into his nose. Even Wang Wei, who had just eaten for a short time, planned to eat again.

The appearance of Wang Wei did not attract the attention of the two yamen. The two continued to bake delicious food there. The beef chunks the size of eggs were passed through by the sticks and turned back and forth on the charcoal fire. The oil dripped down and came out. If there is no movement, sprinkle a little salt lightly to make the oil run faster. When the cold wind blows, it will not have a good taste.

“Good life, good enjoyment.” Wang Wei, who stood at the entrance of the yamen, praised softly, and then continued: “Who said how difficult it is to pour rain? Light smoke and white mist drifted. It is like blood charcoal red and oil yellow, don’t mistake Xianting In the human world.”

“Good poem, come here, make another one, and reward you with a skewer.” The yamen heard the voice, raised his head, and praised the skewer of meat that had not been grilled in his hand.

“Thank you, I won’t be in a hurry to eat the meat. Can the county official be here? This official has been ordered by the emperor to inspect the place. Wang Wei is also.” His face was darker than the sky.

Talking, he walked into the shed, took out his identity certificate from his arms, and showed it to the two yamen.

The yamen, who had just spoken, paused, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and leaned his head to watch nervously. After only a few glances, he determined that the identity of the other party was not a fake, and grinned awkwardly, “Uh, I don’t know if the adults came here, but before Shi Yuan greeted him. , and please forgive me.”

The other yamen next to him had a good look, and hurriedly handed Wang Wei a few skewers of meat that had just been grilled, and said with a shy face: “Sir, try it, the fresh meat is fragrant, the little one will go to inform you immediately, Wait a minute, wait a moment.”

Wang Wei looked back at the half head of a child who was hiding in the corner not far away, squinted his eyes and looked at the bodies of the two yamen, the muscles at the cheekbones were upward. Moved, showing a sad and smiling expression, silently took the meat skewer, squeezed out cumin from the condiment box next to it and slowly sprinkled it on the meat skewer, took a bite first, and turned back to hide there. The child beckoned and raised the skewer.

The child who couldn’t stand the temptation of the meat skewers flashed out,

stepped on the water with two small feet* instead of the ground, and flew over with the waves all the way. First, he turned his head to look at the remaining yamen, and saw that the yamen did not make a sound, let alone never. Staring, he raised his face and asked, “For me?”

“Let’s eat together, okay?” Wang Wei handed over two strings.

“Okay.” The child happily

took it, opened his mouth to take a bite, and suddenly “Bah, it’s undercooked on the inside, and burnt on the outside, I’ll come.”

He grabbed the skewer, added his own, put it on the stove again, took out a pair of small scissors from his body like a juggler, and cut off the charred meat with a few quick strokes, turning the skewer smoothly with one hand, and the other Sprinkle the seasoning on the side from time to time and sprinkle it on the skewers.

It didn’t take too long for the skewers to be grilled, and as soon as he smelled it, Wang Wei noticed that it was much better than what he had just smelled

. Before I entered the county, I opened a barbecue restaurant. Let me tell you, in fact, it is not good to use fresh meat directly when grilling meat. If there is blood and water is not clean, it should be ‘simmered’ first, and I don’t know who cut the meat. Yes, cut it along the stubble, it is easy to be roasted after roasting, and the heat is not uniform, and you chew your teeth. Today you invite me to eat, and when the flood passes, my shop reopens, and I will invite you to eat again.

” After speaking, he took two breaths, blew the smoke away, looked at the color of the meat, nodded with satisfaction, and handed back Wang Wei’s meat skewers just now.

Wang Wei’s mood suddenly improved a lot. Not because of the child’s ability to make kebabs, but only for the optimistic spirit of the child, he opened his mouth wide, bit down a piece, and nodded while chewing, “It’s delicious, good skill, I never thought about it. Meat skewers are also so knowledgeable, your family cooks barbecue, do you still like to eat them?” The

child returned with a natural expression, and nodded again: “I love to eat, my family loves to eat skewers, my father said , I don’t like to eat meat skewers, I absolutely can’t sell them to others, because I like it, so I study it, so I am pious.”

Wang Wei was stunned when he heard the child’s words. Hearing such a remark, no wonder the child’s face did not show that kind of overly concerned look. It turns out that people are rich, there is no doubt about this, let the child know that the meat skewers that they don’t like will never be sold to others. My lord, can the business be bad?

Thinking like this, Wang Wei asked the child, “Is the family okay now?

” More than 100 sheep are gone, chickens, ducks, and pigs, the loss is even greater, the most important thing is that the county school is full, I can’t squeeze in, and many classes are left behind.”

“Well, don’t worry, everything will be fine, etc. The flood has passed, and your cattle and sheep have returned.” Wang Wei comforted.

“That’s not it, it’s not a natural disaster, it’s a robbery. The magistrate of Honglu Water has been sturdy, so how could it be washed away? In fact, we know that the magistrate Yan was short of money, so he dug the river, and then took our The money and livestock were taken away, listen to what people have to say…”

“Little brat, shut up, and you will die if you talk nonsense.” Before the child could finish speaking, the yamen who stayed behind roared loudly, his eyes widened, and he started Roll up your sleeves and look like you’re going to hit someone.

“Humph.” The child hid behind Wang Wei and stuck his head out, “The ruler is the boat; the common man is the water; the water carries the boat, and the water capsizes the boat, you seal my mouth, and An Neng seals the world’s people. heart of?”

“It’s very, very good.” Wang Wei nodded again and again, and a kind of admiration for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan rose in his heart. This is the result of Chaoyang’s action. The politeness of the child he met at breakfast now opens his mouth It is the fact of allusions, which is entirely due to Chaoyang’s actions.

When I was an official in the locality, I heard that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan from Baoxin County had come up with a Chaoyang operation, but they were just two children who were bored and would not become a climate. Who knows that in the entire Tang Dynasty, as long as there are businessmen in the place There is a school of Chaoyang Action, and the merits are immeasurable.

“This lord, don’t listen to his nonsense. The magistrate is dedicated to the people. However, this year’s rain is very heavy, and the magistrate is unable to return to the sky. It is hard to think about tea and rice every day.” The

yamen quickly explained to Wang Wei, his face was Sad expression.

Wang Wei is no longer a novice, and he relies on a hot-blooded young man to do things. How can he not know the truth? What he can do now is to meet with the yamen officials first, learn as much as possible about the situation, and cooperate with Li Bai to gather intelligence outside together. Report to the court at that time.

‘No wonder His Majesty did not send helpers to the two of them. Hongnong County is now monolithically run by local officials. How to arrest people?

If they are caught by force, they will be besieged by the local yamen.

‘

Wang Wei thought that he had understood the difficulty of the emperor, and secretly sighed.

He turned around, patted the child’s head, and said against his will, “Go, I believe that the county magistrate Yan is worrying about your affairs and trying to find a solution. To understand the difficulties of one parent, the river must not be built enough. Firm, go back to your family, it is estimated that the county magistrate will have a solution soon, go, ah.”

“How can it not be firm? That’s…”

“I know, go, no matter who repairs it, there will always be negligence. When the time comes, everything will be fine.” Wang Wei didn’t let the child continue to talk, he picked up a few grilled skewers, put them in the child’s hand, and pushed the child’s shoulder to let him go away.

The child’s big eyes were full of puzzlement. Seeing the man who should be an official pushed himself, he angrily threw the skewer of meat on the ground, “I know, there is no good thing for an official, I know, I know. ”

Looking at the small figure running into the rain, Wang Wei’s mouth was tightly pursed.

“I don’t know that Lord Wang is coming, the lower official is late, forgive me, forgive me.” At this moment, the gate of the yamen creaked open, and a thin man was greeted from inside.

“Don’t catch a cold, don’t catch a cold. If you are seriously ill, you will get an injection. It hurts. I’ll take medicine to prevent it now.”

The others also drank the medicine prescribed by the team’s doctor, and they were not drinking sweet, so the doctor had no time to coax them.

With a casual swipe of his sleeve on his mouth, Xiaobei pointed forward to “forward.” The team waded in the direction she pointed.

Walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, a river appeared, Xiaobei glanced at Sister Xiaozhu blankly, Xiaozhu looked around and said, “A tributary of Honglu Water, this river is called Hongyuan River, and it is Hongyuan River. The main river of the village, it seems that there must be something wrong with the Honglu River, and this place is submerged.”

Xiaobei nodded convincingly, since Sister Xiaozhu said it was the Hongyuan River, it must be correct, Sister Xiaozhu not only paints Well, the map drawing is also very good, and the sense of orientation is very strong.

The person in charge of the observation next to him said at this time: “Little Lady Xiaobei, there is a bridge in front of it, but unfortunately it was submerged by the water, leaving only a bridge deck, half hidden under the water, so you can walk over it.”

“Then look for it .

Go to the high place, go.” Xiaobei took the umbrella of the person next to him, held it by himself, and walked there under the protection of everyone.

As soon as it stopped at a ‘big earth slope’ beside the bridge, the water level of the river suddenly rose, and there was another flood peak upstream. If you look closely, you can also see dead pigs, dead dogs with bloated stomachs floating in the water, and others. There are countless branches and straw sticks.

“No, the bridge is going to be broken, and a big tree has been washed down.” When Xiaoyuan was watching with a telescope, he saw a large tree canopy floating in the upstream river, thinking that there were tree roots falling below. Not completely indulgent, he slanted and slammed into the small bridge.

Xiaobei and the others were startled. The tree was as thick as two adults’ arms. Such a sturdy tree was rushed by the water. One could imagine the consequences of hitting the bridge.

The crowd watched as the big tree hit the small bridge that was submerged in water.

‘Boom, click’ Everyone felt that the ground under their feet trembled a few times, and then looked at the bridge, all eyes were straight.

I saw that the tree that hit the bridge was in direct contact with the bridge and broke down, and part of the upper part, with white stubble, hit the place where the bridge deck was.

The place blocked by the tree is blocked by the existence of the tree, which prevents the water from directly passing the bridge deck. Where the bridge is exposed, a large gap can be vaguely seen, and there are several small gaps. As for the smaller gaps, it is not. Know.

But even so, the bridge is still intact.

“Ah? This is also possible? Who built the bridge? It was flooded, hit by a big tree, and still able to hold on?” Xiao Bei’s eyes straightened and he stuck out his tongue.

Immediately, two people in the team disregarded the rushing water, jumped down, and swam to the spot where the bridge exposed a column on the bank, put their heads in and touched it, and then held on to the bridge railing and shouted to Xiao Bei: ” It has the words ‘the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, Xia, built for the exchange of village schools, clank construction group.'” During the

speech, the man’s face was obviously proud.

“Sigh” Xiaobei waved his little fist excitedly, “I knew that the most sturdy place must be repaired by my house, the building is sturdy and strong.”

Others are also proud.

The person in charge of the management was puzzled at this time and said: “According to this, the water conservancy project of UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com Honglu Water should also be repaired by our family’s construction group. Profits are used to build the main body or supporting facilities for the local school. In this case, how could the embankment burst?”

“Yes, yes, how can it be broken? Did the construction team cut corners? I borrowed their courage.” Xiaobei followed suit. puzzled.

“There must be something that is not known to outsiders. We will talk about it after the investigation is over.” Xiaoyuan helped.

A group of people waited for a quarter of an hour on the soil slope, and the Hongfeng passed by, and then they continued to move forward. When crossing the bridge, they carefully looked at the place where they were hit by the big tree. There were two steel bars that were directly smashed. There are also a few bent, little finger-thick iron wires braided with broken stubble, pebbles and small pieces of broken cement.

The main body of the bridge cracked a large gap, and the gap cracked all the way to the bridge, but even so, the bridge still crossed the river and did not collapse.

The group walked across the bridge with the arrogance of Zhang Wang’s family, and continued to move forward in the muddy water. After another half an hour, they saw a three-story building in front of them. In the sound of water, there was a faint recitation.
