I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty - #120 - Chapter 120
Lin Xiu was in Guanyi’s room.
When you open the window, you can see the direction of Jinghe Town.
Look towards the sky.
The thick dark clouds are like blocking out the sun.
Even though he was in Qingshui County, he could still faintly hear the rolling thunder.
“Sir, it really rained in Jinghe Town!”
Zhao Sheng said beside him, with neither sadness nor happiness on his face.
Like Li Si and Zhong Kui, he couldn’t tell whether he felt pity or hatred for the people in Jinghe Town.
Normally, as an official in the government office, he , Yamen.
When handling and investigating cases for the people, personal emotions should not be involved.
Law enforcement should be impartial and impartial.
But who said that Zhao Sheng is also a human being?
Three years ago, Meng Chan encountered all kinds of things.
Of course, the dealer Sanlang was the culprit
, and the people who ultimately led to Meng Chan’s death were not the people who were criticized by thousands of people.
If they could lend a helping hand at that time. Even if he said a few heart-warming words, maybe Meng Chan would not throw himself into the Jinghe River and lose his life.
Except for the banker’s mother and son, those people were really hateful.
How could they know that this heavy rain was not to save the people of Jinghe Town.
Just as Lin Xiu said before, what you sow will reap what you reap.
Lin Xiu shook his head without saying anything more. After closing the window in the room, he turned around and said to Zhong Kui and the others:”Go, everyone go back and rest. We will set off back to Chang’an early tomorrow morning!”
“Yes, my lord!”
Zhong Kui and Zhao Sheng all bowed and bowed and quietly exited the room.
Lin Xiu sat alone in the room without any unnecessary expression on his face.
……
In the afternoon, the sun gradually sets.
About fifty miles outside Jinghe Town, Wang Xi and the others had been following Lin Xiu’s instructions and were in no hurry to go back.
Until this time, the raindrops gradually became smaller.
It’s so sparse that it’s about to stop.
“Sir, it’s getting late, why don’t we go back?”A policeman said next to him.
Wang Xi looked up at the sky, nodded solemnly, and turned back to the carriage.
I don’t know why, but at this time, he became more and more uneasy.
He always felt that something was going to happen. It was about to happen.
But why, he really couldn’t tell.
Seeing that the rain was about to stop, and Lin Xiu had told him before that he could return at sunset, so the team reorganized and headed straight. He quickly returned to Jinghe Town.
Nothing unexpected happened along the way. It wasn’t until the sky gradually darkened and the surroundings became dark that he could see the city gate in the distance.
“Sir, we are about to enter the city!”Someone was outside the carriage.
Wang Xi agreed, but did not poke his head out.
The sky had completely darkened, and Wang Xi did not intend to stay here any longer.
It would be better to return to the city earlier.
However, the team at the Yamen, When we just entered the city gate, we were all dumbfounded when we saw the streets that seemed to be flooded.
Large areas of houses made of mud had collapsed.
Countless debris was scattered on the streets, which looked like a mess.
People were walking on the street.
Some were crying loudly, and some were lying in the water with their eyes closed, and their faces were white with water.
It was obvious that they had been dead for a long time.
Wang Xicai listened to the messy sounds outside. The man who opened the door curtain of the carriage asked:”What happened?”
“Sir, it would be better for you to see for yourself!”
A policeman replied with a cry.
Wang Xi bent over and walked out of the car.
However, when he saw the scene that happened in front of him, he was also shocked.
“This… what’s going on?”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man walked over from the side.
He knelt down directly in the muddy water and cried:”Sir, please save us, sir.……”
After he cried like this.
Many people around him also came to their senses.
In an instant, Wang Xi’s carriage and the officials from the Yamen were surrounded.
Some people knelt there begging for mercy.
Some were holding the bodies of their family members and crying.
There are even some old people talking about retribution and the like.
All in all, Jinghe Town was in complete chaos.
This rain not only destroyed many houses, but also claimed more lives.
0·Request flowers········
Wang Xi felt dizzy.
There was a buzzing in his head, and he almost fainted.
However, at this time, he remembered what Lin Xiu said before.
It turns out that Lin Xiu had already guessed that something like this would happen in Jinghe Town today.
Let him leave the town before noon and hide fifty miles away.
You are basically saving your own life.
But these people in front of me……
“Hurry, go and find out how many people in the town have suffered from this natural disaster. After making statistics, report it to the official. The official will report it to the official overnight and send it to Chang’an to report to His Majesty.……”
After Wang Xi was slightly surprised, he quickly gave instructions to the people around him.
One of the agents nodded yes.
He turned around and took several other government officials with him, and quickly headed towards other parts of the town……………….
Wang Xi said some words to appease these people.
We can only place our hope on the imperial court.
We only need to wait for the above table to be sent to His Majesty so that we can quickly send relief food and materials.
But this Wang Xi can be considered a smart man.
After comforting them, he also told them some truth.
Of course, everything overt and covert revolves around Meng Chan’s incident back then.
After hearing this, these people all bowed their heads and remained silent.
This time, they finally understood what it means that cause and effect will eventually pay off…
And on the other side, in the Jinghe River.
There were also people who reported to the Jinghe Dragon King what happened in the town.
However, when he heard that this heavy rain actually claimed the lives of many ordinary people.
The Jinghe Dragon King was completely dumbfounded.
Sitting there with a pale face, he kept muttering:”It’s over, it’s really over this time.”……”
He originally wanted to reverse destiny and change the timing and number of rain points in order to win this bet.
Who would have thought that things would be so big?
And so many ordinary people died?
Once this matter is known to Heaven, how can I get out of it?
Just as I was thinking of this, a guy walking sideways hurriedly ran in.
I couldn’t tell what the color of his face was, and he said:”Dragon, Dragon King… something bad is going on, heaven, heaven is coming, someone is coming!”
“What?”
Hearing this, the Jinghe Dragon King’s expression changed.
The tea cup in his hand accidentally fell to the ground… _
