Volume 6 Chapter 11

In a house in Zhulan lane, Jiang Wenhe is sorting out some things.

He was promoted to the deputy governor of Donggang Town, and he was able to change a large house as a rule. After 15 years of working in Donggang Town, he has never changed his residence. He has some feelings about this house. But now he is old and the house is shady. He always feels wet and cold when he lives in it. The house of the town governor is good or bad, and the terrain is the highest in Zhulan lane.

It rained heavily outside, crackling on the roof tiles. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a knock on the door. At first, he thought he heard it wrong. He thought it was so late, and it rained so late that he could hardly support his umbrella. How could someone knock on the door.

But it was only for a few minutes that the knocking on the door became louder and louder. He finally judged that he had not heard it wrong. After a strange murmur, he put on a coat and walked across the yard with an umbrella under the heavy rain.

The rain was so heavy that his umbrella couldn't hold up. He just walked through the courtyard more than ten steps square, and his trouser legs were all wet.

"Lord Lin?"

As soon as he opened the gate and saw the face of the man in front of him, Jiang asked the crane and he suffered again. His intuition was not good.

"Lord Zou?"

Let him immediately Zheng Zheng is, he saw Lin Xi's behind also follow a number of people, one of them is Donggang Town Si Geng Zou Yishi.

Lin Xi collected his umbrella, stood under the eaves, saluted the river crane first, and then said: "Jiang Zhen Du, do you know that there is a river dam in Donggang Town?"

When Jiang Wenhe saw the face of Jiang Xiaoyi and Chen Haozhi behind him, he was stunned and said, "you know, how?"

"This is Chen Haozhi, a villager from sangyuwei. His grandfather participated in the dam construction and the renovation and reinforcement of the barrage 37 years ago." "There may be heavy rain in the next few days, and his grandfather is sure that the river dam may collapse at any time under the current water level," said Chen Haozhi, who nodded behind Lin Xi

"And so on?" Jiang wenhexian is also not familiar with the farming and water conservancy. He can't help turning to look at Zou Yishi.

Zou Yishi, who was originally thin and black, had a dark face but didn't speak for a while.

At this time, in the thunder and rain, Lin Xi said quietly, "because this is an emergency, I would like to ask Lord Zou and I to go to the River Dam immediately for inspection, but Lord Zou thinks that this is outside my authority, and I have no jurisdiction at all, so I asked Lord Zou to come with me and ask the governor of Jiangzhen to make a decision."

When Jiang asked him, he understood why Zou Yishi's face was so dark.

It's really not under Lin Xi's jurisdiction. He was forced by a colleague with no responsibility to come to see the governor in the dark rain, which made no one feel comfortable.

Moreover, Lin Xi has just overthrown LianZhan mountain and Dong zhendu. He has great prestige. Otherwise, the official of the Ministry of industry would not come here with Lin Xi if he closed the door at once.

"Lord Zou?" Jiang Wenhe's face is bitter again. He looks at Zou Yishi's voice.

Zou Yishi's face was full of anger, and he said in a deep voice: "the dam is very stable, and the Xizi river is not rushing. I don't think what an old man in his nineties who has been ill for many years said is credible. In the dark night of such rainstorm, even on the dam, there is no way to judge whether the dam may have problems. "

"Lord Lin?" Jiang Wenhe looks back at Lin Xi. He thinks what Zou Yishi said is very reasonable.

Lin Xi took a look at him and said: "Mr. Zou is not a fool, neither am I, nor are you, Mr. Jiang. The villagers in sangyuwei are not all fools. If that nine ten year old man is really old muddleheaded, then how could the villagers around Sangyu believe him so much? I don't think it's clear until I go there to have a look. "

This Jiang Wenhe is aware that Lin Xi's words are also reasonable, but it's not good for the officials of the Department of torture to force the officials of the Department of industry to do things. Moreover, he thinks that he and Lin Xi may not have Zou Yishi's understanding of water conservancy and other aspects. Since Zou Yishi is not in a hurry, is it really necessary to catch up on such a rainy night?

"Mr. Zou, Mr. Jiang, please think about it yourself." Looking at the river and asking the crane, Lin Xi frowned, and some said coldly: "I'm really only in charge of the house and the prison, but I can't manage the things of the engineering department. But if there is a problem with the river and the dam, many people drown, and I have nothing to do with it, but they are different. If there is no one to report it, and something really happens, you will be dismissed at most, but someone has already reported it. If you haven't dealt with it, I'm afraid that not only will you be dismissed, but at least you will be sent to the border. As for Jiang, all the merits and reputation will be eliminated. "

After a quiet meal, Lin Xi looked at the two humanitarians: "both of them have been in office for a long time. I think they must know better than me. In this court, they are careful to make the Wannian ship. Even if it's just a possibility What is it to be able to avoid a little bit of disaster and catch up in the rainy night? "

"Boom!" One voice.

Just at this time, just a flash of lightning extended down in the sky and made the whole sky bright.

Zou Yishi and Jiang Wenhe are cold at the same time.

"Mr. Zou, be careful. I think it's better to go. I'll go with you. " Thinking of the small flag of Yuhua family that Lin Xi gave to himself, Jiang Wenhe made up his mind and turned to look at Zou Yishi.

Zou Yishi no longer said anything more, silently nodded.

"Why hasn't the mouse come back?"

On a muddy road, five or six farmers were holding umbrellas and stretching their necks to look anxiously.

Among them, there was a bamboo reclining chair, on which lay a bony old man, his legs atrophied, apparently paralyzed for a long time.

Because of the heavy rain, even with an umbrella, the old man's thin blanket was completely wet and was on one side.

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

The old man, whose white hair was thin and sparse, and there were not many left, suddenly became angry, half straightened up, clutching a yellow stick in his hand and beating on his bamboo chair. He cried angrily, "Haozhi can't even do this! You simply carry me all the way! If the dam collapses suddenly, my Chen family can't help it. Even if I die at once, how can I face my ancestors and those who have built the dam together! "

Five or six farmers began to bite their teeth and lift the bamboo reclining chair, one foot high and one foot low on the dirt road.

In the rainstorm, they couldn't see the distance more than ten steps ahead.

I don't know how long it took. There seems to be a strange voice in the thunder and rain.

The farmer stopped in surprise, but in a blink of an eye, a galloping horse appeared in the dark rain curtain in front of him.

Due to the extremely fast coming, the horse rider didn't seem to have expected someone on the road ahead. At that time, he was too late to rein in his horse. With his strength, he saw that the galloping horse, which had broken the rain curtain, was lifted up with two hoofs and stood upright in the air.

"Someone! Stop! "

At the same time, the rider of the horse shouted at the rear, but the sound was very calm.

There was also a sound of strangling behind him, and then several horses appeared in the sight of these farmers.

"Haozhi! Are you back?! "

When he saw the figure of one of the horses sitting behind a rider, the farmer immediately made a surprise sound.

These people are Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi.

The first rider is Lin Xi. At the moment, he can see the wet old man on the bamboo chair.

"I'm Lin Xi from the police station of the town, and I've come to see you all!" Lin Xi fell from the horse, and fell indirectly in front of these farmers and the old man on the bamboo reclining chair. He had already guessed that he was half paralyzed, but now he still let these people carry the identity of the old man walking in the mud in the rain.

As soon as he fell down and gave out a clear drink, he immediately saluted the farmers and the old man with extraordinary solemnity.

The old man was furious, but now he is ecstatic.

"Lin Xi Lord Xiaolin Good! Good! I sang Yu surround these lives and good fields. Good officials help me, but only the fate of heaven! "

"Chen Yangzhi, the old man, once served as the supervisor of the division of labor, your excellency! The barrage is in danger, and a large number of hands and fixed piles are urgently needed! " The old man suddenly had a big drink. He didn't know where his strength came from. He even drank so much that the eardrums of all the people in the audience were buzzing.

"Old Chen and Yunqin's human and financial resources should be used in practice, not in terms of one population. Since we are here today, we are going to keep the dam." The voice of Lin Xi and Qing Yue also sounded again, "but please let us see the evidence."

"Please take me to the dam!" the old man just had a drink and his throat was hurt. At this time, he tried his best to make a sound, which was very variable.

But all could see that he had a clear mind, and had no half the face of an old fool.

"Please show me the way!"

Lin Xi didn't have any nonsense either. He indirectly removed his coir raincoat and put it on the old man. He picked up the old man and jumped back to the horse.

As soon as I rode fast, I broke through the rain curtain, ran on the ridge of paddy field, and rushed to the dam.

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

Several big wooden piles are being driven under the dam. Bags of sand and stones are being filled in straw bags.

The dam is very wide enough to allow two carriages to run in parallel. Although the river water flow is not urgent, it is less than one meter away from the top of the dam, just like a huge washbasin shaking gently. The gentle water flow gives Lin Xi the feeling of huge power impact. I just feel that the dam under my feet vibrates continuously, and a stream of water splashes up, even splashes over the dam.

Lin Xi stood on the dam, holding the old man on his horse. He saw that the river on one side was far higher than the rice field on the other.

In the view of some dam sections, the surface is uneven, so there is a small gap like a bite. This dam is really very old.

"Look, my Lord!"

The old man's variant and loud voice was like crying blood, and then he stretched out his hand.

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

"At that time, the dam was built in 30 steps and one pile, totally 72 piles. It was like 72 giants holding the dam, and then they connected it with beams. I have checked it. Now these fixed piles are rotten, five or six!"

"Your Excellency, the only way to make up for the current situation is to fill these stakes here
