Magistrate Fang Daxian, who accidentally "killed a thief", came out of the county government guest house and walked slowly towards the inner government office, but met Fang Yingshi head-on halfway.
I only heard Fang Yingshi say: "Brother Qiu, you were in there just now, so I went to the dining hall to eat first. Anyway, this is already the county government office, so I don't think anything will happen. I just waited around after the meal, but nothing happened."
Brother Qiu, please go back to the inner office. I was a little worried so I came to look for you again."
Fang Yingwu criticized with some sadness and anger: "Don't be so careless next time!"
The two of them walked to the inner office together, and Fang Yingshi asked again: "I heard that the eunuch Shang Ming was defeated by Brother Qiu in a fight, so... I wonder if you can bring my child back?
It turns out that he was Shang Ming's godson and could still enjoy the glory and wealth. Now that Shang Ming has fallen, leaving the child to wander outside, with his life and death unknown, and maybe sold into slavery, I feel bad."
Fang Yingwu nodded: "That's a problem, and your thoughts are humane. Shang Ming's mansion has been sealed. In the next two days, I will find out who is responsible for searching the house, and then I will see what method is used. I will try my best.
But for!"
After returning to the inner office, Fang Yingwu washed up and went to bed. After calming down his mood, he tossed and turned and rethought his plan.
Madam He made a good point. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wan Shoufu's original intention was not to protect Dai Jin, but to use Dai Jin to gain an opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The ultimate goal was to install one of his own.
In other words, if I helped Li Yu in a big way, I would obviously directly offend Wan Shoufu. I had a lot of conflicts with Wan Shoufu in the past. Fortunately, Liu Mianhua took care of me, and everything went smoothly.
Now that Liu Mianhua is not in the capital, it's better to take it easy while being under the nose of Wan Shoufu. It doesn't seem cost-effective to directly offend the first assistant for such a small profit. Shouldn't we be too active in this matter?
After all, Wan Shoufu is different from Shang Ming. He must fight to the death with Shang Ming for Wang Zhi. That is related to his fundamental interests. But for Wan Shoufu, it is a different situation. It seems that he has no need to fight for the sake of meeting him only once.
Li Yu went to be cannon fodder.
What's more, although Shang Ming looks powerful, in fact, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace can only depend on the emperor's thoughts, and he has an asymmetric advantage. As long as he provokes the emperor's sensitive nerves, Shang Ming will be in trouble immediately. But Wan Shoufu's identity is a
The prime minister of the country has a much more solid foundation than Shang Ming. It is impossible for him to be defeated by a blitzkrieg like this. He cannot fight an asymmetric war like he did against Shang Ming.
Fang Yingwu recalled what Wang Yue said. Li Yu, the right deputy censor of the capital, was a fellow villager of Li Zi Province, a favored alchemist, and hinted that Li Zi Province would support his fellow villagers.
So even if he doesn't have his own platform, Li Zhongcheng may not be able to achieve success... Fang Yingwu thought about it and finally decided to only provide Mrs. He's accusation to Li Yu and let Li Yu use it himself. This will help
When you get to Li Yu, you don't have to show up directly to avoid offending others.
However, Fang Yingwu, who was worried about gains and losses, was also worried that if he backed down in the face of battle, he would dissatisfy Li Yu and cause trouble for Xiang Chengxian to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate? No matter what, he always had to find a reasonable excuse.
Suddenly there was a thunder outside. Fang Yingwu turned over and sat up. He had a way to avoid the dispute!
In mid-July of the 17th year of Chenghua, there was a sudden heavy rain in the capital for days. Coupled with the water flowing down the west mountain, the city, especially the south city, was severely flooded. Hundreds of houses were damaged. The deepest water accumulated up to three feet.
However, it is said that the terrain of the capital city is high in the northwest and low in the south. Originally, when Emperor Taizong Wen built the capital, many drainage ditches were built along the terrain. During the flood season, the water would be discharged along the ditches to the Yongding River and other places.
But in the past sixty years, the population has multiplied. The population of the capital has increased by an unknown amount. It is not uncommon for people from the powerful to the common people to occupy ditches and fill up the land. As a result, the ditches are blocked and waterlogging occurs frequently during the flood season. This is what happened this year.
, but the trouble seemed to be more serious.
As mentioned earlier, the three most important situations for the emperor are military situation, disaster situation, and civil commotion. Now that there is a disaster situation on the side of the chariot, the emperor immediately issued an edict and urgently mobilized the Ministry of Industry, prefectures, and capital camps to do their best to dredge the area.
Ditches release water.
After the imperial edict was issued, the Street Office of the Ministry of Industry, Wanping County, Daxing County, and several military commanders and ministers supervised the work separately and directed the sergeants and officers to clear the ditches.
Among them, the area belonging to Wanping County is in the Xuanwumen area. The county magistrate Fang Yingwu was not afraid of the rain, and went to the front line of the project to direct the project, and even took the lead in digging soil and carrying burdens. In ancient times, Dayu controlled the floods without entering the three countries, but now there is the county magistrate for five days
Not going to the construction site... It's a pity that there is no imaging equipment these days, so the glorious image of Fangzhi County cannot be preserved immediately.
Lou Tianhua sneaked to the construction site with an umbrella, grabbed Fang Zhixian, who was shouting and shouting, and reported quietly: "The painter said that it is always raining outside and he cannot paint on the spot. He has to wait until he goes back to paint.
.I just need to find another time to copy the face of the proprietor."
Fang Yingwu was worried and asked: "Can that person do it? Can't his painting skills be realistic? I want meticulous brushwork, not freehand brushwork. Also, is there really no so-called Western painting in the capital at the moment?"
Lou Tianhua patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, proprietor! This painter also worked as a priest in the palace and was good at figure brushwork. He just left the palace when he got older and wanted to earn some pension money!"
Fang Yingwu was chatting with Lou Tianhua when he suddenly heard someone yelling: "I'm so exhausted, I won't do it anymore!" They turned around and saw a few sergeants not far away dropping their belongings.
He greeted the people around him aggressively.
However, it was said that the imperial court urgently mobilized a large number of sergeants from the Beijing camp to serve as labor force. Fang Yingwu had hundreds of sergeants under his command, and together with the temporary conscripts from the county, it was barely enough.
Lou Tianhua had rich experience and frowned: "These arrogant soldiers want to gather together to cause trouble again! The proprietor must deal with it carefully!"
Fang Yingwu did not panic and asked calmly: "Why do you think they are making trouble?"
Lou Tianhua analyzed: “It’s difficult to determine the specifics, but based on past examples, there are no more than three reasons. One is that the fortifications are too hard and tiring, and they are unwilling to do it; the other is that they want to take the opportunity to argue for some benefits; the third is that some people
Instigating collusion behind the scenes and deliberately going against the proprietor."
Sure enough, as Lou Tianhua expected, after someone took the lead in shouting, two to three hundred people dropped their tools one after another, gathered together and walked towards Fang Yingwu.
Fangzhi County brought dozens of county government officials, who were scattered in various sections to serve as supervisors. Seeing this, these government officials also gathered together to protect Fangzhi County in the middle. This surprised Lou Tianhua. The county government officials had their own thoughts.
There are many times when we are thinking, but it is rare when we are united like this. My boss’s dominance is quite good. (To be continued...)
