Chapter 281

"Don't worry, old man. The emperor has punished those people." Xu Qing clapped the old man's hand at this time. He didn't know what to say, because if he told the villagers that the person who embezzled the money from the dam was the Prime Minister of the Dynasty and the empress's father, the Emperor just changed his position.

Presumably, after listening, the villagers will have no hope for the future, so they said so.

"Lord Xu, did the emperor really make you governor of the capital?" What else did the old man want to ask, he was interrupted by his aunt.

Xu Qing nodded to everyone at this time.

After the confirmation, the people were very happy, and then said in the crowd, "with Lord Xu as the governor of our capital, we people can rest assured that the emperor is really discerning."

"That is to say, in the future, with Xu adults leading us, our life will definitely get better and better."

The villagers are now talking about it.

Xu Qing listened to what the villagers said, and his smile was frozen.

He knew that the Emperor didn't have what the people said. Tens of thousands of people died in the flood, but their Emperor just transferred the position of prime minister LAN.

And Jiandu dam was all supported by Shuo Hou. Although the emperor appointed himself as magistrate, there was no follow-up measures, and the money for disaster relief was not mentioned!

But now the relatives are so happy that he can't bear to tell them about it.

Next we can only see the harvest of the potatoes they planted. I hope they can survive this winter.

Then a voice came from the crowd, "let's be quiet first."

When we heard that, we all looked behind us. This is Li Ming, Xu Qing's right-hand man.

When he saw that there was a crowd gathered here, he came here and approached. Only then did he know that Xu Qing had come back, and he was also named magistrate by the first volume of the emperor. He was not happy.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Ming went to Xu Qing and said, "my Lord."

Then turned to the villagers and said, "villagers, Xu adults have been on the road for many days, let adults hurry back to rest."

"Ouch, that's it. We're all just happy." After listening, we can't help clapping our thighs.

Then someone said to Xu Qing, "my Lord, I'm sure you're very tired. Go back to have a rest."

"In that case, I'll go back first." Xu Qing said with a smile.

Then Xu Qing got on the carriage and went to the residence of the magistrate.

When he got to the place, Li Ming walked forward at this time. "Here you are, my Lord."

"Well." Xu Qing, in response, lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

Then I looked at the door, only to see the previous plaque hanging on the door askew, the head of the door is still bound with spider webs, which is very depressed!

Li Ming then went to Xu Qing's side and said to him, "my Lord, the family members of the previous magistrate may know that when you go to the Imperial City, you will be killed, so they moved away overnight."

"Well, go in." Xu Qing nodded, and then went inside.

Entering the courtyard, there was still no scene of the past in the courtyard. Xu Qing went straight to the magistrate's hall without stopping.

When he walked into the hall, he saw that the plaque with four characters of "bright mirror hanging high" in the center had fallen down and was covered with a thick layer of dust.

At this time, Xu Qing stopped at the front of the plaque, then flicked the dust on it with his hand. The flying dust could not help choking Xu Qing's cough.

Seeing this, Li Ming hurriedly stepped forward, "Sir, let me do it."

At this time, Xu Qing raised his hand and signaled that he would not use it.

Then Li Ming backed away.

Then Xu Qing cleaned up again. Before long, the four big characters appeared in his eyes.

Li Ming and others later hung up the mirror again.

Then several people began to organize.

Before long, the hall of the Yamen was cleaned.

At this time, Xu Qing went forward and looked at the bright mirror hanging on his head for a long time. Then he sat down.

Then gently touch the startling wood on the right.

The title of his magistrate was exchanged for thousands of lives in the capital.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the emperor's way of doing things, he was familiar with how big a storm the common people could turn over. He knew that his arm could not twist his thigh, so he took the position of magistrate.

He knew that the Emperor just didn't want him to do anything else. After all, it was a domestic scandal.

Now that he is in this position, he knows that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders. The only thing he can do now is not to forget his original intention to do more for the people, so that the people of Jiandu can spend this disaster year!

Thinking of this, Xu Qing straightens out the startling wood and then beckons Li Ming to come.

Li Ming then walked forward and arched his hands and said, "my Lord."

"And the others?" Xu Qing then asked Li Ming.

Li Ming replied, "Zheng Qiu is on the dam, and several others help some old villagers go to the fields."

"Well, how about the dam now?" Xu Qing nodded and then asked Li Ming.

Then Li Ming said, "master Liang Cheng is in charge of the work, and master Xiao, the son of shuohou, pays the workers on time every day. Everyone is full of energy. Now the dam is almost finished."

"OK, go to the dam." After hearing this, Xu Qing could not help smiling, then stood up and said.

I saw Li Ming saying, "my Lord."

"What's the matter? What else can I do for you? " Seeing this, Xu Qing looks at Li Ming and asks with a slight frown.

Then Li Ming opened his mouth and said, "you must be very tired when you are running all the way. I think you should take a rest."

"Haha, it's OK. I'm bored all the way. I'm just going to have a look." Xu Qing said with a smile.

Li Ming wanted to say something at this time, and was interrupted by Xu Qing

"Yes, my Lord." Li Ming nodded and followed Xu Qing out of the Yamen.

And those who followed Xu Qing, the subordinates that the Emperor gave Xu Qing, looked at each other and went to the inner hall.

Just now, I have come all the way. It really needs to be cleaned up!

Jiandu dam.

"Hurry up, take these things over quickly. Today we must finish this one. Everyone hurry up." At this time, Liang Cheng is commanding everyone.

It's not that he is in a hurry. Although the temperature of the capital is much warmer than that of the Imperial City, it's also in the late autumn. According to the past experience, he looks at the sky. After a few days, it will rain. In the late autumn, it will rain for a while.

Take advantage of the good weather, and build the dam before the rainy day, so as not to delay the construction period.

At this time, Xiao Mu also received a letter from shuoling, which stated that if Xu Qing arrived at the capital, he would turn over the affairs to him and let him go directly to the frontier fortress!

Xiao Mu's eyebrows were not wrinkled after he saw it. It must be something happened to the frontier fortress.

But Xu Qing didn't hear about his return from the imperial city.

At this time, Xiao Mu collected shuoling's letters, walked out of the tent, and decided to ask Zheng Qiu on the dam.

Zheng Qiu also joined in at this time, helping to carry things. At this time, he saw Xiao Mu standing on the top waving to him to signal his passing.

Seeing this, Zheng Qiu waved for him to go right away.

Then Zheng Qiu put down the things in his hands and said to the people beside him, "I will come when I go."

Then he ran to Xiao Mu.

"Young master Xiao, what can I do for you?" Zheng Qiu then patted the dust on his body, then went to Xiao Mu and asked.

Xiao Mu then said with a smile, "it's OK. Have you received Xu Lizheng's reply, or when he will arrive at Jiandu?"

"No, but Li Zheng has been there for so many days. I think he will be back soon." Zheng Qiu then shook his head and said to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded.

Then Zheng Qiu asked again, "but what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal. Go ahead and do it." Then Xiao Mu patted Zheng Qiu on the shoulder and said.

Just at this time, Zheng Qiu looked at Xiaomu behind him and pointed to him, "childe Xiao, Xu Li is coming back."

Then he ran to Xiao Mu.

Xiaomu turns around at this time. Indeed, Xu Qing and Li Ming are coming here.

"Li Zheng, you are back. Just now, Mr. Xiao is still asking me when you will be back." Zheng Qiu then ran to Xu Qing and said with a smile.

Li Ming then coughed twice behind Xu Qing's back, and then looked at Zheng Qiu and said to him in a low voice, "now adults are not Li Zheng, but the governor of the capital, the emperor Yufeng."

"Magistrate, the emperor's royal seal, so our Li is going up, and it's still magistrate!" After hearing this, Zheng Qiu didn't respond for a moment. He looked at Xu Qing doubtfully and asked.

Xu Qing nodded to it.

Seeing this, Zheng Qiu's face was full of joy. Then he quickly knelt down on one knee and arched his hands and said, "I'll see you."

"Get up quickly, and you'll get rid of all these frivolities." Xu Qing then said to Zheng Qiu.

"Thank you." Zheng Qiu just stood up.

At this time, Xiao Mu came over, heard what Zheng Qiu said, and then he greeted him with a smile. Then he arched his hands and said to Xu Qing, "congratulations to your excellency, someone is the governor of the capital, which is the good news for the people of the capital."

"Where are you, young master Xiao? I should have done it for the common people." When Xu Qing heard what Xiao Mu said, he couldn't help waving his hands.

Xiao Mu then said, "Lord Xu is too modest."

"Ah, these days are very tiring for Mr. Xiao." Xu Qing then said.

Xiao Mu shook his head. "It's just arrangement and supervision!"

"I heard that young master Xiao asked me if I had returned to the capital, but what was the matter?" Xu Qing then thought of what Zheng Qiu had just said and asked Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded at this time, "yes, sir Xu, could you take a step to talk?"

"Well." Xu Qing nodded and followed Xiao Mu to the tent!

When he arrived in the tent, Xiao Mu motioned for Xu Qing to sit down, and then handed the letter he had just put away to Xu Qing.

At this time, Xu Qing took over his heart, opened it and looked at it. His brow could not help wrinkling. Then he asked Xiao Mu, "but what happened to the frontier fortress?"

"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing!" Xiao Mu then shook his head and said to Xu Qing.
