After breaking up with Li Bai, Wang Wei didn’t look for a rest in an inn. When he passed by a grocery store under heavy rain, he went in and bought a hat at a high price and put it on his already wet head. At least he could keep the rain from getting on. Get ill.
I walked along the street again and walked into the widest main road. After a short time, I saw the county government office in Hongnong County. There were two government officials guarding the door. It was enjoyment to be precise.
A shed was set up at the entrance of the Yamen to let the wind ventilate from all sides. Because the shed was large, the yamen sitting in the middle would not be swept by the wind and rain.
The light smoke with the smell of meat fluttered out of the shed suddenly, and the strong scent of cumin was inhaled into the nose. Even Wang Wei, who had only eaten for a short time, planned to have another meal.
The appearance of Wang Wei did not cause the two government officials to pay more attention. The two continued to grill delicious food there. The beef chunks with the size of an egg were passed through by a sign and flipped back and forth over the charcoal fire. The oil dripped down and made a chick. Sprinkle a little bit of salt lightly to make the oil rise faster. When the cold wind blows, it will make you feel different.
"Good life, good enjoyment." Wang Wei who stood at the entrance of the yamen sighed softly, and then continued: "Who can say how difficult it is to rain? The light smoke and white mist floated. Like blood, red, oil, yellow, don't miss Xianting. in the world."
"Good poem, come on, make another one, and reward you with a bunch." Hearing the sound, the yavier raised his head and waved the unbaked meat skewers in his hand in praise.
"Thank you, the meat is not in a hurry. Can the county officials be there? The official was ordered by the emperor's grace to inspect the place, so is Wang Wei." Wang Wei tried his best to hold back the pistol he took out of his arms and fired twice. Impulsive, his face darker than the sky.
While speaking, he walked into the shed, took out his identity certificate from his arms, and showed it to the two bureaucrats.
The yaman who had just spoken had a meal, swallowed two saliva, and looked nervously over his head. After only a few glances, he confirmed that the identity of the other party did not appear to be fake, and grinned in embarrassment. Welcome, please forgive me."
The other yaman next to him didn’t look bad, and quickly handed Wang Wei a few skewers that had just been grilled, and said with a shy face: "My lord, you taste the fresh meat, it smells good, the younger one will go to inform you immediately. Wait, wait."
Wang Wei looked back at the half of the head of a child who was hiding in a corner not far away. He squinted his eyes and looked at the bodies of the two servants. The muscles at the cheekbones moved upwards, revealing a sadness. With a smile on his face, he silently took the meat skewers, and then squeezed out cumin from the seasoning box next to it and slowly sprinkled it on the meat skewers. After taking a bite, he looked back and waved to the kid hiding there. Meat skewers.
The child who couldn't stand the temptation of the meat skewers came out, stepped on the water alternately with two little feet, and rushed over with the waves. He raised his small face and asked, "For me?"
"Let's eat together, okay?" Wang Wei passed two skewers.
"Okay." The child took it happily, opened his mouth to take a bite, and suddenly "Bah! Who baked it, the inside is not cooked, and the outside is burnt, I will come."
The child couldn't help but snatched a few skewers of meat from Wang Wei's hand, added his own, and put them on the stove again. He fetched a pair of scissors from his body like a trick, and squeezed the scorched meat a few times. Cut it off, flip the skewers smoothly with one hand, and sprinkle the sauce on the skewers with the other hand from time to time.
It didn't take too long for the meat skewers to be grilled. After just smelling it, Wang Wei found that it was much better than what he had just smelled. He looked at the child in surprise and asked, "Wa, how can you grill it?"
"I opened a barbecue restaurant before I entered the county seat. Let me tell you that it's not good to use fresh meat directly when grilling. If there is blood and water is not clean, it should be'simmered' first, and I don't know if this meat is. Whoever cuts it, cut it along the stubble, it will be easily broken after a bake, and the heat is uneven, and it becomes stuffy when chewing. Today you invited me to eat. When the flood passes, my store will reopen and I will invite you to eat it again."
After the child had finished speaking, he took two breaths, blew the smoke away, looked at the color of the meat, nodded in satisfaction, and handed back Wang Wei's meat skewers.
Wang Wei's mood suddenly improved a lot. He didn't know how to cook kebabs for the sake of his children, but for the optimistic spirit of the children. He opened his mouth wide, bit down a piece hard, and nodded as he chewed: "It's delicious, good skill, never thought about it. There is also such a knowledge about grilling a kebab. You make barbecue at home, do you still like to eat it?"
The child returned with a natural expression, and nodded again: "I love to eat, my family loves to eat kebabs. My father said, you can’t sell kebabs you don’t like, because you like it, so Study, so pious."
Wang Wei was stunned when he heard the child's words. He just thought that the child was pitiful, so he recruited him to eat meat skewers once. He didn't expect to hear such words. No wonder the child didn't show such a caring look on his face. People are rich. Don’t doubt this. Let the children know that the meat skewers they don’t like will never be sold to the adults. Is the business still bad
With that in mind, Wang Wei asked the child: "How is my family now?"
"Not good!" The child shook and said, "A lot of money is gone. The three hundred cows and more than 500 sheep bought last month 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 there are many courses left."
"Well, don't worry, everything will be fine. When the floods pass, your cattle and sheep will come back." Wang Wei comforted.
"No, it's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster. The magistrate of Honghe River has been able to cultivate well, so how could it be washed away? In fact, we know that the county magistrate is short of money, so he dug up the river and then took our money. Snatching domestic animals, I heard people say..."
"Little boy, shut up, and talk nonsense about your life again." Before the child finished speaking, the remaining government officials roared, their eyes widened, and began to roll their sleeves as if they were about to hit someone.
"Huh!" The child hid behind Wang Wei and poked his head out "The monarch, the boat; the commoner, the water; the water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat. You seal my mouth, and you can seal the world." The heart of the people?"
"Extremely extreme." Wang Weilian nodded, and a feeling of admiration for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan rose in his heart. This is the result of Chaoyang Action, the politeness of the child he met during breakfast. Now the child opens his mouth. It is the fact of allusions, and it all depends on Chaoyang Action.
When I was an official in the local area, I heard that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in Baoxin County made a morning action. They only regarded the two children as boring, and it would not become a climate. Who knows that now the entire Datang, as long as there is a place for merchants There is a school of Chaoyang Action, with immense merit.
"This lord, don't listen to his nonsense, the magistrate is dedicated to the people, but this year the rain is very heavy, the magistrate is unable to recover, and it is difficult to think about tea and rice every day."
Ya Ya hurriedly explained to Wang Wei, with a distressed expression on his face.
Wang Wei is no longer a fledgling boy. How can he not know what he is doing with his passion. What he can do now is to meet with officials in Yamenzhong first, learn as much as possible, and cooperate with Li Bai to gather information outside. , And report to the court at that time.
"No wonder your Majesty didn't send him a helper for the two of them. At present, Hongnong County is run by local officials and it is hard to get in. Even if you follow two or three hundred people, it is useless and there is no evidence. How to arrest people? If they are arrested forcibly, they will be besieged by the local government."
Wang Wei thought he understood the emperor's difficulties and sighed secretly.
Turning around, touching the child’s head, he said contrary to his will, "Go, this official believes that the magistrate Yan is worrying about your affairs and trying to find a way. To understand the difficulties of one parent, the river must be insufficiently built. Firm, go back to your family, I guess the county magistrate will have a solution soon, go, ah."
"How can it be loose? That's..."
"I know, go, no matter who fixes it, everything will be fine when there is always negligence." Wang Wei stopped the child to continue speaking, and took a few grilled meat skewers and stuffed them in the child's hand. Push the child's shoulder to let him go away.
The child’s big eyes were filled with puzzlement. Seeing this person who should be an official pushed himself, he threw the meat skewers on the ground angrily. ."
Looking at the small figure running into the rain, Wang Wei's mouth was tightly pressed.
"I don't know if Lord Wang is coming, the next official is late to welcome, forgive me, forgive me." At this moment, the yamen door creaked open, and a thin person came out from inside.
…
"Don't catch a cold, don't catch a cold. If you are sick, you will get injections. It hurts. I will take medicine to prevent it." Under the heavy rain, Xiaobei poured a bowl of Banlangen granules and licked his mouth, sweet.
Others also drank the medicine given by the team doctor. They were not drinking sweetly, and the doctor did not hesitate to coax them.
With a random touch on his mouth with his sleeve, Beckham pointed forward to "go forward." The team waded in the direction she pointed.
After walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, a river appeared. Xiaobei looked at sister Xiaozhu blankly, and Xiaozhu looked around, and said: "A tributary of Hongpashui, this river is called Hongyuan River, which is Hongyuan. The main river of the village, it seems that there must be something wrong with the Hongsheshui, and this place was submerged."
Xiaobei nodded convincingly. Since Sister Xiaozhu said it was Hongyuanhe, she must not be wrong. Sister Xiaozhu not only draws well, but also draws maps very well, with a strong sense of orientation.
The person who was in charge of the observation next said: "Little Lady Xiaobei, there is a bridge in front of it, but unfortunately it was submerged by water. Only one bridge surface is left, half hidden under the water, and you can walk across it."
"Then find a high place and walk over." Xiaobei took the umbrella of the person next to him, held it by himself, and walked towards it under the protection of everyone.
As soon as I stopped at a "big soil slope" beside the bridge, the water surface of the river suddenly rose, and there was another flood peak upstream. If you look closely, you can see dead pigs and dead dogs with swelling bellies floating in the water. There are countless branches and sticks.
"No, the bridge is going to be broken, and a big tree was washed down." When Xiao Yuan was looking at it with his binoculars, he saw a large canopy floating in the upper river water, thinking that there were tree roots falling below. , Did not fully lay down, leaning towards the bridge and slammed into it.
Xiaobei and the others were scared. The foot of the tree was thick and thick with two adults. The tree was rushed by the water. You can imagine the consequences of hitting the bridge.
The crowd just watched the big tree hit the bridge that was submerged by the water.
"Boom, click!" Everyone felt the ground under their feet tremble a few times, and then looked at the bridge, all eyes straightened.
I saw that the tree hitting the bridge buckled at the place where it was in direct contact with the bridge, and a part of it hit the bridge deck with white stubble.
Because of the existence of trees in the place blocked by trees, it prevents the water from directly surpassing the bridge deck. Where the bridge body is exposed, you can vaguely see a large gap and several small gaps there. As for the smaller gaps, knowledge.
But even so, the bridge still remains undamaged.
"Ah? This is okay? Who built the bridge? It was flooded, hit by a big tree, can it still be braced?" Beckham's eyes straightened and he stuck his tongue out.
Two people in the team immediately ignored the rushing water, jumped down, flopped and swam to a part of the pillar exposed on the shore of the bridge, plunged their heads in and touched them, and then leaned on the bridge railing and shouted to Becky: "It has the words "In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, Xia, it was repaired by the village middle school, Zhengzheng Construction Group. "
As he spoke, there was a trace of pride on this person's face.
"Hmm!" Xiaobei waved his small fist excitedly: "I knew that the strongest place must have been built by my house, the clank building, the iron bone clank."
Others are also proud.
The person in charge was puzzled at this time: "According to this, the water conservancy project of Hongsheshui should also be repaired by our construction group. Usually, the local project is completed and the profit is used to build the local school. The main body or supporting facilities, if this is the case, how can the bank break?"
"It's a drop, it's a drop, how can it be broken? Did the construction team cut corners? I borrowed their courage." Xiaobei also wondered.
"There must have been something unknown to outsiders. I won't talk about it until the investigation is over." Xiao Yuan helped.
A group of people waited for two quarters of an hour on the soil slope, the Hongfeng passed, and then they continued to move forward. When wading across the bridge, they looked carefully at the place hit by the big tree. There were two steel bars that were directly broken. There are also a few bends, and a lot of nets made of thick iron wires with little fingers exposed stubble, and there are scattered pebbles and small pieces of crushed cement.
The main body of the bridge cracked a big crack, and the crack continued to the middle of the bridge, but even so, the bridge was still on the river surface and did not collapse.
The group walked across the bridge with the arrogance of the Zhang family's own family, wading through the muddy water, and continued forward. After half an hour, they saw a three-story building in front of them. Amidst the sound of water, there was a faint movement of clear recitations.
