Chapter 22: The Night Breaks


Chapter 22: The Night Breaks Many people already knew that Lin Xi was going to be removed from his post and investigated before he set off from Ludongling in Anniversary Mountain to Donggang Town, but as soon as the Yanlai Zhenjiang Dam collapsed, almost everyone knew that even if this document was issued and Lin Xi was removed from his post and investigated, in a few days, I am afraid that Lin Xi would not only be reinstated, but also promoted higher.

As soon as the dam collapsed, it showed that his judgment was extremely correct, but it was the unfavorable supervision of the officials of Yanlai Town.

Mobilize the manpower of the arrest and prison, and let Jiang Wenhe call the town guards and the treasury silver, which has also become informal, giving up the small to protect the big.

The three burned cells did not escape or kill or injured prisoners, which was negligible compared to thousands of lives and thousands of acres of fertile land.

In the case of Silver Hook Fang, Lin Xi's performance was already amazing enough, and most of the officials who paid attention to Lin Xi in this incident were already just waiting to see what kind of reward would be given this time.

The dam collapsed, the merchant ships of the two big trading houses were affected, many people died, and the officials of Yanlai Town died so many of these particularly important events, the news was transmitted even faster, plus the officials had already issued the documents for Lin Xi's job reduction, and even the documents implicating Li Xiping had been drawn up and were ready to be issued, so the handling of this matter needed to be more quickly.

Yun Qin established the country by force and ruled the country by law, and every official letter issued by the various divisions of the court was not child's play.

If you want to remove officials who have made great contributions, even if you immediately issue an official document to remedy the situation after the removal, then this process is bound to be ridiculed by the people and other provincial officials for a long time, and may even attract severe criticism and impeachment.

At this moment, the lights are shining in the Zhilu County Shoufu because of this incident.

As early as in the pamphlet of the Qingluan Academy, Lin Xi knew that the court system established by Emperor Yun Qin and Dean Zhang was very different from any historical dynasty he had known before.

The entire huge Yunqin Empire was divided into a total of thirty-four provinces, except for the Imperial City of Zhongzhou.

Under these 34 provinces, they are set up according to "counties", "tombs" and "towns", and the officials of each department are distributed within the yamen of each level according to their rank and jurisdiction, and each department has its own responsibilities.

The setting of this "county" is somewhat unique, if there is a military place in the area, then Sanling is a county, if there is no military place, then Wuling is a county, at that time, Lin Xi thought, it should be Dean Zhang not only to ensure administrative efficiency, let Yun Qin's court system go deep into the locality, but also try not to make the administrative structure of the court too bloated.

Zhilu County is the jurisdiction of Ludong, Zhizheng and other five tombs, the county guards the white jade building, is the martial arts from the four products.

At this moment, in the general administration hall of the county guard's mansion, there are several officials wearing official uniforms, but the county guard Bai Yulou has not yet arrived, and one of the principals has a serious face, about thirty years old, it is the official of the five grades, Liu Xueqing, a famous minister of Yunqin who has been famous for his erudition and strong memory when he was young.

"This matter is categorically the Yanlai Town Engineering Division negligently, and the town governor He Zijing eats the consequences of his own evil, and he should quickly set things right, otherwise he will be ashamed of the world and say that I am mediocre."

Liu Xueqing's voice was crisp and very decisive, "Lin Xi doesn't care about honor and disgrace, he is decisive in handling things, and he has made this great achievement, which is enough to reward and improve."

"If it weren't for Lin Xi's insistence, no matter Donggang Town, Yanlai Town alone would probably have thousands of casualties, and this kind of credit is big enough."

"Meritorious service is not divided into young people, and such great achievements should indeed be rewarded and promoted."

The two officials beside him nodded yes.

"I think it's debatable."

At this time, Hong Shenwu, the commander of the county guard, frowned, and said coldly: "The timing of this dam collapse is too coincidental, why didn't it collapse at another time, but it happened to be He Zijing, who had a dispute with Lin Xi, and they just happened to collapse at the right time." ” Although Hong Shenwu is also a Zhengwupin, he is the highest commander of the Zhengwu Division in this county, holding heavy soldiers, listening to his words at this moment, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became tense, and there was silence for a while, and the sound of coughing could not be heard.

Liu Xueqing's brows were also furrowed, Huo Ran turned his head, looked at this military attache with a national character face and a majestic appearance, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Hong, what do you mean by this?"

Hong Shenwu glanced at Liu Xueqing indifferently and said, "As far as I know, when He Zijing and others went to check the dam, Lin Xi was also on the dam."

"What" When Liu Xueqing heard this, the green tendons on his forehead suddenly jumped violently, and the blood rose to his face, and he slapped the chair handle and stood up.

"Smack" The chair was knocked to the ground by him.

Originally, the rest of the officials heard the meaning of opposition in Hong Shenwu's words, and the atmosphere was very tense, but at this time, Liu Xueqing's shot suddenly startled the rest of the officials No one thought that Liu Xueqing would be so angry in an instant.

"Hong Shenwu, I respect you for making a lot of military achievements for Yun Qin on weekdays, I don't want you to be so shameless today" Liu Xueqing's loud shout resounded throughout the hall, "Lin Xi's performance is obvious to all, you still say such things at this time, do you want to say that the dam can be deliberately collapsed I doubt how much benefit you have received from below" "Yes" Hong Shenwu's eyes narrowed, and he also stood up, and looked coldly at Liu Xueqing, who was shouting loudly: "Lord Liu, please pay attention to your words and deeds, I just stated the truth, but you are so out of shape, don't you allow there to be opposition in the court, do you still want to threaten the official?"

As long as the lieutenant generals can reach the top of the seven grades, they are basically cultivators, and they can accumulate good military exploits from birth to death, and Hong Shenwu is the same, although he usually has a white face and is not fierce, but at this moment, his eyes narrowed, and a coldness flashed out of his body, and the rest of the officials suddenly felt a piercing chill, only to feel as if they were in a sea of corpses and blood.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xueqing was even more furious, stretched out his hand, and directly smashed a cup of tea at Hong Shenwu: "Hong Shenwu is because of people like you, so the dam will collapse, will lose thousands of acres of fertile land, and will kill so many people."

There was a breaking sound of "pop", Hong Shenwu didn't expect Liu Xueqing to be so violent and bold, without the slightest defense, he stretched out his hand and smashed the tea cup, but there was a lot of tea splashed on his body, and he was suddenly furious: "Liu Xueqing, if you do this, I will definitely join you."

"Okay, ginseng" Liu Xueqing waved his hand angrily and said, "If I don't reward Lin Xi this time, I will resign myself, and I am an official in the same county as a person like you, it is really not as good as a dog."

"You" Hong Shenwu laughed angrily, although Liu Xueqing's last sentence was clearly talking about himself, it was tantamount to saying that Hong Shenwu was a dog official, "He will only make trouble unreasonably and resign at every turn, what evidence do you have that Lin Xi did not move the hands and feet of the dam" Seeing that Hong Shenwu and Liu Xueqing had fought to the point that the two tigers were fighting each other, and one of them would be injured, the rest of the officials were silent and did not dare to speak out for a while.

At this moment, the footsteps sounded at the door of the Tongzheng Hall, and the white jade building, the county guard of Zhilu County, who was more than forty years old, with skin like white jade, and was dressed as a scribe, walked in.

"White Adult" Except for Liu Xueqing and Hong Shenwu, who were glaring at each other, the rest of the people suddenly stood and bowed in unison as if they were under amnesty.

"You two roaring in the hall, what kind of system, I heard it far away outside" Bai Yulou had no expression on his face, glanced at Liu Xueqing and Hong Shenwu coldly, reprimanded, and his eyes stayed on Hong Shenwu again: "Hong Shenling, you suspect Lin Xi's hands and feet in the dam" Hong Shenwu bowed slightly, nodded and said, "The dam collapsed and Lin Xi left, He Zijing and the others suffered a catastrophe, this matter is too coincidental." ” Liu Xueqing's blood surged up again, but Bai Yulou had already said coldly, "I just think it's a coincidence, so I dare to doubt it groundlessly."

Hearing Bai Yulou's words, Liu Xueqing and the others were shocked, and they heard an unusual meaning.

Hong Shenwu's face sank, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

"I want to ask Counselor Hong to give you a dam, you can do what you can do to make the dam collapse when you want, you don't collapse when you are there, and you won't collapse when your enemies are there."

Bai Yulou looked at him indifferently, and then said coldly.

Hong Shenwu's face was slightly pale, and he couldn't argue for a while.

"When I received the news on a rainy night, I went straight to the river dam, not within the scope of my responsibilities and took it all out, and I was busy day and night."

"I didn't serve in Yanlai Town, but rushed to Yanlai Town overnight to admonish him, and after being rejected, he still went to Jiangba, and nearly 3,000 villagers were evacuated overnight."

"The river dam collapsed, the two boats collided, the landslide, the rocks were like rain, and the first time regardless of the safety of the first rescue, nearly 200 people fell into the water and more than 100 people were rescued by him" Bai Yulou still had no expression on his face, just said sentence by sentence, his tone became more and more cold and stern, "This kind of performance, there are still people who question his character, Hong Shenguang, according to your meaning, he still acts and cheats, then you don't care about your official position, don't care about your life, and show me once in front of everyone."

Hong Shenwu couldn't imagine that Bai Yulou's words were so serious, and for a while, his blood was also on his face, and he roared in a low voice: "Lord Bai, do you mean, as a Yunqin soldier, when I fight on the battlefield, can I take care of my life as an accountant official?"

"You can't argue with that, so you're the one who makes the most of it."

Bai Yulou looked at Hong Shenwu coldly, and said sarcastically: "As a Yunqin soldier, I must know that there is a Yanlai Town Military Academy at the scene regardless of life and death, but when the two ships collided and were in danger, Lin Xi rushed up, and even a young engineer supervisor who happened to be on leave rushed up, but the military academy was so frightened that he turned around and fled to nowhere." ” After a slight pause, Bai Yulou looked at Hong Shenwu and said even more coldly: "The Dragon and Snake front line is tight, if you want to prove that you are not selfish in Lin Xi's matter, and want to prove your character and loyalty and fearlessness, you can just go to the Dragon and Snake front, if I remember well, none of your military exploits have really accumulated on the most dangerous front line." ” "Bai Yulou, what do you mean" Hong Shenwu laughed angrily, "You want to transfer me to the Dragon and Snake Front under the pretext" Bai Yulou didn't dodge his knife-like gaze, and nodded coldly: "That's what I mean." ” "Okay, don't think that you are one level higher than me, you can do whatever you want with me, I'll wait" Hong Shenwu sneered in a biting cold tone, and after speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

"Lord Bai, you have done a great job in this matter."

Liu Xueqing exclaimed happily and bowed to Bai Yulou to make up for it.

"Lord Liu, you are a good person in governing the country, but you must also pay attention to proportions in your speech and temper, in recent years, you have borne the name of madness.

Although you don't care, you have to understand that if you are in power, you can do a lot of things for others, and if you die, it will not only be your misfortune, but also a big loss for me Yun Qin.

Bai Yulou glanced at Liu Xueqing and said, "Everything is for Yun Qin, for glory." ” Liu Xueqing bowed down again to admit his mistake, but at the same time, he and several officials present were puzzled.

Because they know very well that Bai Yulou is honest and upright, but as Bai Yulou said to Liu Xueqing at this time, Bai Yulou has always been a faction in the DPRK that pursues Taoguang and obscurity.

This faction is completely different from the unbending officials, they all pay attention to judging the situation, if they can't force it, they will choose to forbear for a while, protect themselves first, and then slowly pull it back.

They also know that although Bai Yulou usually has a bad relationship with Hong Shenwu, Hong Shenwu's relationship in Zhengwu Division is complicated, and Bai Yulou, who pursues Taoguang and obscurity, and slowly plans, is usually afraid of many things.

However, today, Bai Yulou actually reprimanded Liu Xueqing for promoting his idea of being an official, but he did a different thing, and directly broke with Hong Shenwu to this point.

"My lord, how can Lin Xi decide on this matter" Liu Xueqing walked with Yan Guan, although he admitted his mistake, he immediately straightened up again, looked at Bai Yulou and asked.

"The previous matter was handled unfairly, and Lu Dongling's documents were not issued, and the natural officials took it back and invalidated it."

Bai Yulou glanced at everyone present: "Lin Xi's merit is very important, according to the merit, he can at least be promoted by two levels, to the eighth grade."

Yanlai Town has no leader at the moment, and the affected people need to deal with it urgently, so let Lin Xi temporarily act as the town governor.

Liu Xueqing, what do you think?"

Liu Xueqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "According to the merit, it is enough, but he is too young, he has just been promoted exceptionally, and then promoted two levels in a row, Yu Li is still not in harmony, slowly sharpened, it is good for him, he is promoted to one order, to the ninth grade, and then awarded a medal first, remember the merits, and then make some merits in office, and then promote." ” "Okay, then Lin Xi will be promoted to the ninth grade.

Awarded the Medal of Glory, acting as the town governor of Yanlai Town, and Jiang Wenhe, the acting town governor of Donggang Town, performed well and was officially promoted to the town governor.

Huigu Town Engineering Department supervised Jiang Xiaoyi to upgrade one order.

Bai Yulou waved his hand, "Reward the official document first, and issue the document overnight":
