Xu's father is mature, but Xu San is different. He has the most youthful spirit. Any dissatisfaction and disdain he has are vented in his mouth. If you ask him, you will definitely find out a lot of things.

Xu San was abducted. When he woke up, he saw Rong Zhi and Li Shengxi. He had the impression that these two people were people he met during the day. One of them even came to see Xingniang privately.

.

He didn't have a good impression of people in the government. Even if these two people helped him during the day, in his eyes, it was just showing off for nothing, committing adultery or stealing. Otherwise, why would he be kidnapped now?

come over?

Thinking of this, he looked at the two people's eyes, and they became more alert and fierce, just like a small beast in the mountains meeting a stranger.

"What are you doing? What are you trying to arrest me for?" Xu San spoke first.

"We have something to ask you." Rong Zhi first glanced at Li Shengxi, and then looked at Xu San gently.

"Ask me?" Xu San frowned.

Rong Zhi nodded, "I am a patrol sent by the imperial court, responsible for disaster relief and dam construction."

When it came to building dams, Xu San's eyes were full of pain, and he said angrily: "I have nothing to say! All you officials should die."

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and rushed towards Rong Zhi with his teeth and claws bared.

Li Shengxi easily restrained Xu San, "Calm down."

"What's there to say about calming down? None of you officials are good. You still dare to talk to me about building dams. Aren't you afraid of going to hell?" Xu San roared angrily, his eyes widening.

Red, a tear fell silently.

"What's wrong with the dam? Aren't the dams in good repair? Where do you have such great resentment?" Li Shengxi said, seemingly dissatisfied.

Rong Zhi glanced at Li Shengxi in surprise.

"Cultivation is good?" Xu San couldn't help but sneered, and then laughed loudly, as if he had heard some big joke.

Can it be repaired well if the bones are attached to it?"

Rong Zhi was shocked. It was indeed easy to die when building a dam under such circumstances, but according to Xu San, this dead person would definitely not be a simple death.

"Is it so strange that people died while building embankments? Could it be that your family members died?" Li Shengxi said indifferently.

When Xu San heard this, he wanted to attack Li Shengxi, but he was no match for Li Shengxi. "It's not your family that died. Of course you said it lightly. Are you afraid of dying when you say this? You beasts

Ah, when it rains so heavily, we are asked to carry sacks in batches. We don’t even have enough to eat, so how can we afford to carry sacks? But

For those who were not strong enough, they whipped us, beat us and scolded us, and drove us into the water. I don’t know how many people died once the embankment was reinforced. The natural disaster did not take away my second brother’s life, but you beasts did.

He took his life. Why are you not the one who died - why are you still alive? Just because your life is good? Why? Why don't you die!"

He struggled while cursing angrily. Perhaps realizing that he couldn't break away from Li Shengxi, he bit Li Shengxi's hand.

The bite was so deep that Li Shengqi didn't hesitate to grunt. She gritted her teeth and struck Xu San behind the ear with a knife, knocking him out.

"Mrs. Ning." Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxi's hand. There was a row of tooth marks on the white arm, and there were faint blood stains, which showed how hard Xu San had bitten just now.

Li Shengqi raised his hand subconsciously, wanting to touch his neck, and then shook it angrily.

Rong Zhi looked confused, but still asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's just a minor injury." Li Shengxi withdrew her gaze and put her hands behind her back, "What does Rong Xun press think?"

"There is something wrong with this matter. There is evil in Anxia County. Logically speaking, it is very wrong to brave such heavy rain to strengthen the river embankment. And if a lot of soldiers are really borrowed, how can the hungry victims be allowed to go there?"

What to do? And all the men in the family have gone." Rong Zhi frowned.

But what really worries him is not just the matter of reinforcing the river embankment, but also another matter.

Logically speaking, the lie of borrowing troops can be easily exposed, but Zhang Bingsheng still said that he was shrewd and sophisticated, and since he dared to tell this lie, he must be sure that they would not be able to catch him, at least on the surface.

Passable.

If you are so confident, there are two possibilities. The first is that you really borrowed soldiers, but it was just a false shot, and you just dragged the borrowed soldiers to Anxia for a while, and actually did nothing. But this

This possibility is unlikely.

Second, there was no borrowing of troops at all, but a document for borrowing troops was drawn up, and it was just a perfunctory and confusing thing on the surface.

But no matter what the situation is, it is enough to illustrate that officials along the Jiangbei coast protect each other, and they form a huge network of relationships to deceive the court together.

It is not difficult to figure out who the center of this network is.

The situation in the south was worse than they thought.

Rong Zhi thought of this, and Li Shengxi naturally thought of it too. She squinted her eyes and asked, "Did you check the booklet given by County Magistrate Zhang?"

Rong Zhi nodded and quickly handed it to Li Shengxi.

Li Shengxi took a book and flipped through it quickly. When she turned to a certain page, she stopped suddenly and scratched the book with her fingers quickly. She slowed down when she reached a certain column of words, "Look

, Xu Er, was lost during the disaster. But Xu Xingniang told me today that Xu Er died while reinforcing the river embankment. Why did they hide it, or did they sentence Xu Er to death from the beginning? "

Rong Zhi's brows jumped.

"I heard from them that many people died while reinforcing the river embankment, but in this book, there are very few people who died while reinforcing the river embankment. Most of them died from natural disasters." Li Shengxi looked solemn.

Rong Zhi nodded, "Yes... and at that time, before the situation stabilized, Zhang Bingsheng hurriedly asked the victims to reinforce the river embankment. This was not reinforcing. This was clearly asking the people to die. He was not afraid of causing trouble among the people.

Change?"

"In normal times, it may be possible to cause a civil uprising. But after this catastrophe, the people were hungry and Anxia became a purgatory. How could the unarmed victims defeat the soldiers? What's more, if it was a civil uprising, it might be the opposite.

Their intention - if they wanted the people to die from the beginning." Li Shengxi analyzed calmly.

"If it's a gathering for profit, why do they go to so much trouble?" Rong Zhi asked seemingly unintentionally.

Li Shengxi looked at Rong Zhi and said meaningfully, "Then we have to ask the patrol officer."
