Chapter 82 What a profit! (Second update!)

Dragon boat water on the fifth day of May.

This proverb mainly comes from the south. This is a special weather in southern China. At this time every year, the south will be very humid, with heavy rains that can even last for the whole month.

But at this time, the north is probably still a bit cold, but this year's Bianjing is different. Since May, Bianjing has become hot, and the rain has been continuous. By late May, the major rivers in Kaifeng have

The ditches are full and the rivers are full, and some low-lying areas are even flooded for many days.

After Zhang Heng studied every day, he would stand on a high place to look at the water level of Yingxiang Pond, then secretly calculate it before going back.

On this day at the end of May, the rain suddenly became heavy again, as if a big hole had been poked in the sky, and the Milky Way poured down from the sky. On this day, Zhang Heng held an umbrella and went to the heights to go to Yingxiang Pond.

I took one look and thought to myself, "It's about time."

As he expected, Jia Changchao sent someone to pick him up that night.

In Jia Changchao's office, many people had already arrived. Jia Changchao introduced them as the general magistrates of Kaifeng Mansion, the general magistrates, the officials who recorded affairs and joined the army, etc. Almost all the leaders of Kaifeng Mansion were here.

After Zhang Heng arrived, he was placed behind Jia Changchao. When the other leaders saw Zhang Heng, they all had smiles on their faces, presumably knowing who Zhang Heng was.

Many of the leaders didn't discuss anything, they just chatted about things casually, some official anecdotes and the like. On the other hand, the Recorder joined the army and kept receiving the information collected from all over the place. After reading it, the leaders exchanged a few words and recorded

The meeting listened, but in the end the order was issued. In such a relaxed atmosphere, by the second half of the night, no one came to report.

An action that was like a whirlwind ended with laughter and laughter, and the results were quite brilliant.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Jia Changchao stood up and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and then said with a smile: "Today's action was quite successful, everyone has contributed. I will write a memorial to ask for credit from the officials. When the time comes, please

Sign your name too."

Tong San and others quickly stood up and thanked him, and then dispersed.

Jia Changchao looked very tired, but the look on his face was exciting.

He has accomplished such great things when he first took office. This is a great credit to him. With this credit, he is already qualified to continue to move up the ranks.

Jia Changchao patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder and just said: "You are very good, really very good. Work hard and strive to be named on the gold list next spring. Now, go back and have a good rest. Just get up and study hard tomorrow!"

Then Jia Changchao sent Zhang Heng back to Taixue.

Zhang Heng followed the people and flexibly avoided the dangerous buildings. As he passed the courtyard, there were shouts, screams, cries of pain, scolding and other sounds. Zhang Heng was curious and looked around. There were longing figures inside, and from time to time someone shouted "doctor"

Come quickly and save lives.

There was a faint flow of rainwater in the yard, and there was a lot of blood mixed in it. Then there were rows of humanoid objects covered with rags in the hall. At first glance, there were probably dozens of them, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

The coachman who led him out said: "Saburo, you'd better stop reading. It's late at night and you'll have nightmares when you go home. You're a scholar, so don't get close to these things. Don't get hit."

Zhang Heng said with a solemn expression: "How will the government support the families of these warriors who died?"

The coachman laughed softly and said, "Sanlang doesn't have to worry. Their family is now blessed. They died, but they benefited the whole family."

Zhang Heng said in surprise: "Is the imperial pension so generous? Why did I hear that the imperial court is not very rich..."

The coachman whispered: "The imperial court's pension is nothing. The entire Wuyou Cave was confiscated this time, and all the wealth in the Wuyou Cave for hundreds of years was confiscated. This is a lot of money!"

Although the adults have to eat the biggest portion, we errand runners also have a share, especially our dead colleagues, who will get the largest share besides the adults.

Tsk tsk, that's a lot of money, enough for their family to live happily for more than ten years... If I hadn't been unable to hold a knife or a gun, I would have wanted to go there, and I wouldn't be afraid of dying, and my family would have been able to live a happy life. Good times."

Zhang Heng couldn't help but be stunned.

After returning to Taixue, Zhang Heng took a bath carefully and lay on the bed. Listening to Zhang Zhangshu's snoring, Zhang Heng stared at the beams with wide eyes, but smiled slightly.

This time, more than a few hundred people died because of his idea. Seventy or eighty people died in the government office alone. Many had their arms and legs broken, and some were carried away by the turbulent sewage in the ditch. few.

And those scum in Wuyou Cave died more. Those who had no time to escape were probably suffocated to death inside, or were swept to the bottom by the surging Bian River water. After the flood receded, they would be as if they were drowned by the flood. Drowned rats are usually found in a ditch somewhere.

Those who were lucky enough to escape were either captured, or more often had their necks stabbed with steel knives, their heads cut off, and left to pray for merit. The government office did not need many lives.

——Too many people living is a waste of food!

Of course, there are many people who were drowned inside and had their heads cut off after they came out. There are also many people who have been wronged. They may have been abducted and trafficked, or they may be poor people who are trying to make a living inside...

However, more people were saved.

What Zhang Heng heard at the scene was that thousands of people had been rescued, and more people would be rescued in the future according to the list. More importantly, for the time being, the rats in the worry-free cave were basically eliminated, and the people of Bianjing were at least You can live a good life for several years.

Zhang Heng suddenly remembered the people he saw in Wuyou Cave that day:

The abducted children had their legs and feet broken, were forced to do tricks, beg, and some were even cut into sticks and put in urns...;

The woman who forced a smile to welcome guests was obviously not willing. Considering the frequent cases of missing women in Bianjing, one can imagine where these women came from...;

Walking inside, you can see people with their mouths gagged and bound, and their heads cut off with steel knives at any time...

They may have died a long time ago, or died during this activity, or they may have been rescued, but they are no longer accustomed to life on the ground, and may be despised by their families... But at least there won't be so many in the future. People suffer the same fate as them!

Zhang Heng gradually closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became calmer, and the sound of rain outside became more urgent.

In the dream, he took a piece of paper and wrote a line of words on it - Bianhe River flooded Wuyou Cave!

On the first day of June, the sky was bright and clear.

Zhang Heng and his two brothers finished grabbing Taixue steamed buns and were about to go to class. The driver from the government office came over to find him, pulled him to a corner, and quietly handed him something. Zhang Heng opened it and saw that it was a When I saw a house deed, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This is?"

The coachman laughed softly and said: "The house bought by a rat somewhere on the ground was inspected. You have done a great job this time. The governor knew that your three brothers only had two houses in Bianjing, so he decided to buy one for you.

The yard is your reward, you can accept it with confidence, everyone will recognize it."

Zhang Heng couldn't help but be stunned.

Well, the gold belt for murder and arson belongs to yes.

And this is only a benefit on the surface, the secret benefit is that this time he also won Jia Changchao's appreciation, the promise of solving the test, and... two confidants who came from the worry-free hole!

That’s a lot of money.

It will be put on the shelves on December 1st. After it is put on the shelves, it will be updated as much as possible every day. Everyone can enjoy it, okay?
