Chapter 11 I'll take care of it


In a house in Zhulan Lane, Jiang Wenhe was tidying up some things.

He was promoted to the acting governor of Donggang Town, and he was able to change to a large mansion as usual.

He has served in Donggang Town for fifteen years, he has never changed the place where he lives, and he has some feelings for this house, but now that he is older, this house is more shady, and he always feels wet and cold when he lives in it.

The rain outside was very heavy, crackling on the roof tiles, suddenly, he seemed to hear a knock on the door, at first he thought he had heard it wrong, thinking that it was so late, and the rain was so hard that he could barely hold an umbrella, how could someone still knock on the door.

But after only counting the hours, the knock on the door became louder and louder, and he finally judged that he had not heard it wrong, and after muttering some strange things, he put on a piece of clothing, held an umbrella, and walked through the courtyard in the pouring rain.

The rain was so heavy that his umbrella couldn't hold it a little, and after walking through the small courtyard more than a dozen steps square, his trouser legs were all wet.

"Lord Lin" As soon as he opened the door and saw the face of the person in front of him at a glance, Jiang Wenhe suddenly had a bitter face, and his intuition was nothing good.

"Lord Zou" What made him immediately stunned was that he saw that Lin Xi was followed by several people, one of whom was Zou Yishi, the Si Geng of Donggang Town.

Lin Xi accepted the umbrella, stood under the eaves, and saluted Jiang Wenhe before saying, "Governor Jiangzhen, do you know that we have a dam in Donggang Town?"

Jiang Wenhe saw the faces of Jiang Xiaoyi and Chen Haozhi behind him clearly, and was slightly stunned, and said, "I know, how?"

"This is Chen Haozhi, a villager from Sangyuwei, whose great-grandfather participated in the construction of the dam and the renovation and reinforcement of the barrage 37 years ago."

Lin Xi nodded at Chen Haozhi behind him and explained: "There may be heavy rainstorms in the next few days, and his grandfather is sure that the barrage may collapse at any time below the current water level." ” "There is such a thing" Jiang asked Hexian who was also unfamiliar with this farming and water conservancy matter, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zou Yishi.

Zou Yishihei, who was originally thin and black, had a calm face, but he didn't speak for a while.

At this time, in the midst of the rumbling thunder and rain, Lin Xi continued to speak calmly, "Because of the urgency of this situation, I want to ask Lord Zou and I to go to the barrage dam to inspect immediately, but Lord Zou thinks that this is outside my purview, and I have no authority at all, so I asked Lord Zou to come with me and ask the Governor of Jiangzhen to decide." ” Jiang Wenhe suddenly understood why Zou Yishi's face was so dark.

This is indeed not within Lin Xi's jurisdiction, and being forced to see the town governor by a colleague who has no responsibility in the dark and heavy rain will not be comfortable in anyone's heart.

Moreover, this is also because Lin Xi has just overthrown Lian Zhanshan and Dong Zhendu, which is very prestigious, otherwise this official of the Ministry of Engineering would probably close the door immediately, and he would not come here with Lin Xi at all.

"Lord Zou" Jiang Wenhe's face became bitter again, and he looked at Zou Yishi and said as if inquiring.

Zou Yishi's face was a little angry, and he said in a deep voice: "The dam is very stable, and the flow of the Xizi River is not urgent, I thought that what a ninety-year-old man who had been bedridden for many years was not credible.

In the dark night of such a rainstorm, even when you reach the dam, there is no way to tell whether the dam is likely to fail. ” "Lord Lin" Jiang Wenhe turned his head to look at Lin Xi again.

He felt that what Zou Yishi said was very reasonable.

Lin Xi glanced at him and said, "Lord Zou is not a fool, I am not a fool, Lord Jiang, you are not a fool, and those villagers in Sangyuwei cannot all be fools."

If the ninety-year-old man is really old and confused, how can so many villagers in Sangyuwei believe him so much, I think it is reasonable and justified, it will only be clear after going there to see it. ” "This" Jiang Wenhe felt that what Lin Xi said was also reasonable, but it was very bad for the officials of the Criminal Department to force the officials of the Ministry of Industry to do things, and it was very bad for him to spread it, and he also felt that he and Lin Xi might not have Zou Yishi to understand in terms of water conservancy and other aspects, since Zou Yishi was not in a hurry, did he really want to rush over on such a rainy night "Lord Zou, Lord Jiang, please think for yourself."

Lin Xi looked at Jiang Wenhe and hesitated, frowned, and said a little coldly: "It's true that I'm only in charge of the arrest room and the prison, and I can't take care of the affairs of the engineering department, but if there is a problem with Jiangba and many people are drowned, it has nothing to do with me, but the two are different."

If no one reports it, something really happens, Lord Zou, you will be dismissed at most, but someone has already reported it, if you don't deal with it, Lord Zou, I'm afraid that Lord Zou will not only be dismissed, but at least he will be assigned to the border pass, as for Lord Jiang, it is certain that all the fame will be removed. ” After a slight pause, Lin Xi looked at the two of them and said, "Both of them have been in office for a long time, and they must know better than me that in this court, they are careful to make the ship of ten thousand years."

Even if there is only the slightest possibility, as long as you can avoid a little disaster, what is it to rush some way in the rainy night?"

"Boom".

At this moment, a bolt of lightning spread down in the air, brightening up the entire sky.

Zou Yishi and Jiang Wenhe's hearts were cold at the same time.

"Lord Zou, be careful, I think you still have to go.

I'll go with you.

Thinking of the small flag of the Yuhua family that Lin Xi handed over to him before, Jiang Wenhe made up his mind in an instant, turned his head to look at Zou Yishi and said.

Zou Yishi didn't say anything more, and nodded silently.

"Why hasn't the rat come back?"

On a muddy road, five or six crop men held umbrellas and craned their necks anxiously.

Among them, there was a bamboo chaise longue, on which lay a scrawny old man with atrophied legs, apparently paralyzed for a long time.

Because of the heavy rain, even if he held an umbrella, he couldn't stop it, and the thin blanket that the old man was originally covering was completely soaked and was left aside.

"Smack" "Smack" The old man in the twilight, whose white hair on his head had been thinned and there was not much left, suddenly became furious, stood up half-straight, grabbed a yellow wooden cane in his hand and knocked on his bamboo chair, and shouted angrily: "Haozhi can't even do this thing, you just carry me all the way, if this dam collapses suddenly, the people of my Chen family know but can't do anything, even if I die immediately, what face will I have to see my ancestors and those who have built the dam together."

Five or six farmer men gritted their teeth and began to lift the bamboo deck chairs, one foot high and the other low, walking on the dirt road.

In the torrential rain, they couldn't even see clearly the distance of more than ten steps ahead.

I don't know how long it took, but there seemed to be a faint strange sound in the thunder and rain.

The farmer stopped in amazement, but in an instant, a galloping horse suddenly appeared in the dark rain curtain in front of them.

Because of the extremely fast coming, the rider on the horse did not seem to expect that there was someone on the road ahead, and it was a little too late to rein in the horse for a while, and under the force, he saw that the galloping horse that had broken the rain curtain was actually strangled and his hooves flew and stood upright in the air.

"Someone stopped" The rider on the horse shouted at the rear at the same time, but his voice was very calm.

Behind him, there was also a sound of horses stopping, and immediately, several more horses appeared in the sight of these crop men.

"Hiroyuki, you're back" When they saw the figure of one of the horses sitting behind a rider, the farmer immediately let out a sound of surprise.

This group of people is Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi and others.

The first rider was Lin Xi, and at this moment he had clearly seen the old man drenched on the bamboo chair.

"I'm Lin Xi of the town police station, Master Gengzou of the Ministry of Engineering and Lord Jiang of the town governor have all come" Lin Xi fell from his horse and landed directly in front of these crop men and the old man on the bamboo recliner.

He had already guessed the identity of the old man who was already half-paralyzed, but at the moment he was still carrying these people in the rain and mud.

As soon as he fell down and let out a clear drink, he immediately saluted the farmer and the old man with unusually solemn dignity.

The old man had been furious, but now he was in ecstasy.

"Lord Lin Xi Xiaolin, take care of my Sangyu to surround these lives and fertile fields, there are good officials to save them, just look at the destiny of heaven" "Old and decrepit Chen Yangzhi, once used to be the supervisor of the Ministry of Engineering, all of you are in danger of blocking the river and dam, and urgently need a large number of manpower and fixed pile wood" The old man suddenly shouted, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so that the eardrums of everyone present were a little buzzing.

"Old Chen, Yun Qin's human and financial resources must be used in practice, and they can't be used by one person, since I am here today, I have to defend this dam."

Lin Xi Qingyue's voice also sounded again, "But please let Elder Chen let us see the evidence." ” "Please, my lords, take me to the dam quickly" The old man drank violently, his throat was already a little injured, and at this time, when he spoke with all his strength, his voice was already very mutated.

But everyone could see that he was sane and clear, and he didn't look like he was old and confused at all.

"Please show me the way" Lin Xi didn't have the slightest nonsense, he directly took off his robe, draped it on the old man, picked up the old man, and jumped back on the horse.

As soon as he rode a fast horse, it was the current moment, broke through the rain curtain, galloped on the ridge of the paddy field, and rushed to the dam.

On the dam, there are hundreds of young and strong laborers shouting and rushing.

Several large wooden piles are being driven under the embankment.

Bags of sand and gravel are being filled in straw bags.

The embankment is extremely wide, enough for two carriages to go in a row, although the river flow is not urgent, but on this river dam, it is less than one meter from the top of the river dam, just like a huge basin swaying, the gentle flow of water is to Lin Xi's huge force impact feeling, only to feel the dam under his feet trembling again and again, a stream of water splashes, and even splashed over the dam.

Lin Xi stood on the dam, helping the old man to sit on the horse, and he saw that the river on this side had far exceeded the height of the rice field on the other side.

In the line of sight, some dam sections have uneven surfaces, and even small gaps like they have been bitten.

This dam is indeed extremely old.

"Look, my lord" The old man's mutated, high-pitched voice rang out like weeping blood, and he stretched out his hand straight.

Lin Xi and the others saw that in the middle of the dam that the old man had ordered, there was a deep hole the size of a tank mouth, and the rainwater could not be stored, and it seemed to be constantly seeping into the dam body.

"At that time, this dam was a pile of 30 steps, a total of 72 piles, just like 72 giants stopped this dam, and then connected it with beams, I have already inspected it, and now these fixed piles are five or six rotten."

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the current water potential, it is possible not to collapse only by making up for these piles, or even behind the weak point of this dam, and then digging out the piles and filling in the sand and gravel to reinforce them."

Seeing these holes, feeling the tremor of the dam, and then seeing the panic of the hundreds of young and strong laborers who were desperately running on the dam, Zou Yishi's face turned white in an instant, he turned his head to look at Jiang Wenhe and Lin Xi, and felt a little lost: "This fixed pile wood needs a certain length, and incomplete pine wood cannot be used."

It is impossible to make up the cost of the company in a short period of time. ” "If the cost of the engineering department is insufficient, use the cost of other divisions first, if it is still not enough, ask the firm to borrow the governor of Jiang Town first, and you let Zhu Siye and them also come to help, if the manpower is not enough, the army will be transferred."

Lin Xi took a deep breath and said slowly and calmly: "All the consequences are borne by me." ”:
