"boom……"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was very angry and hit the table with his fist, making a muffled sound.

"What? Only reported it the next day?"

The old guys also frowned.

When such a huge flood occurs, if the county magistrate receives the news and immediately sends out officers and soldiers to carry out rescue operations, more people may be saved.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate not only failed to organize a rescue, but actually beat up the person who reported the news.

This is simply disregarding the lives of those affected by the disaster!

"yes……!"

The old woman nodded firmly at first, but then she realized that several people's expressions were not right, so she calmed down and said, "Of course, I have heard these words too. We are just ordinary people. How can we know the relationship between the government and the government?"

thing!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to work.

The old man still helped them add tea, and then said mysteriously: "I will tell you something again, and I guarantee that your jaw will drop!"

"What's the matter?"

The veterans were also very cooperative and came over one after another, blinking curiously.

"I heard from a tea customer! Some time before the dam burst, he was chopping firewood on the mountain. He could often hear the sound of chisels hitting stones. Following the sound, he looked in the direction of the dam! But he checked carefully.

After a while, he didn't see anyone, so he thought he heard it wrong! But for several days in a row, there was this sound, but no one could be seen! He thought he had touched something unclean, so he never went there again.

It’s time to cut firewood! Within a few days, the dike burst! Do you think it’s strange?”

"When he came to my place to drink tea, he breathed a sigh of relief and said that the dam was definitely abnormal. What kind of curse did it make to make such a sound? In the end, it burst and swallowed the lives of so many people.

!”

When the old man said this, he was very lively and serious. He obviously believed what the woodcutter said.

In this era, the theory of ghosts and gods was very popular.

Not to mention the common people, even the previous Ying Zheng advocated immortality and asked Xu Fu to seek immortality and medicine!

Therefore, anything they cannot explain will be attributed to ghosts and gods!

"Are all these things you said true?"

Ying Feiyu also asked with a serious face.

Not because he believed in these ghosts and gods, but what he was concerned about was that the woodcutter often heard the sound of the chisel hitting the stone!

Doesn't that mean that someone is secretly digging a dam?

It's just that it was hidden relatively secretly and no one discovered it!

If this is really the case, just as Daddy Scumbag guessed, the dam breach was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!

"Of course it's true, that's what the woodcutter told me! But whether what he said is true or false, I have no way to verify, haha...!"

The old man smiled, lifted the lid of the teapot, and found that the tea was gone before he knew it. "Guests, please wait a moment. I'll get you some more!"

"No need!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand slightly.

They have been sitting here for a while. Apart from listening to the old man talking about the flood, they have been eating, and their stomachs are almost full now!

"Lao Zhang, give me the money!"

After pouting at Zhang Han, Zhang Han understood the idea, groped around in his arms, took out a handful of copper coins, and put them on the table.

"Ouch! A few guests, just a little tea, not so much, not so much!"

The old man looked at the small pile of copper coins on the table. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do and hurriedly chased it out.

But Ying Zheng and others took great strides, turned the corner and turned to another street in a short while!

"Alas...! It's better to be rich!"

The old man looked at the handful of copper coins in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Old man, do you think...this group of people seems a little weird?"

The old woman also chased her out, looking at the handful of copper coins in the old man's hand with a little doubt.

"Well! He is indeed different from us ordinary people! He is full of nobility!"

The old man nodded and handed the copper coins to the old woman.

"Then you still tell him so much?"

Seeing that the old man felt the same way, the old woman suddenly regretted having said so much about officials and the flood.

"Hey! It doesn't matter! If they are just passers-by, they will be fine after hearing these words! If they are some high-ranking official visiting the people, these words will just let them know the suffering of our people! After all, we are just stallholders.

, you can tell yourself whether what you say is true or false!"

After saying that, the old man put away the dishes they had just used and wiped away the fallen crumbs on the table.

The rag is expertly placed on the shoulders, waiting for the next customer!

…

After Ying Zheng and others left the tea stall, they were not as calm as the old man who owned the tea stall.

He strode forward without even looking back.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear everything?"

"Nanzhou County Magistrate actually bought it! Bought it!"

"I never expected that our Daqin calendar was so strict that we would actually buy and sell officials!"

After leaving the tea stall, Ying Zheng led everyone and walked far away angrily. After making sure that no one was around, he started to get angry.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. These are just market rumors, and they may not be true!"

"That's right! The official position of the county magistrate is not big or small, but it may not be bought! Even if it is bought, they don't have the guts to delay something as big as a flood!"

"Yes, yes, these are all rumors. They are spread from one to ten and then to a hundred. The more they spread, the more they become more and more evil...!"

Seeing Ying Zheng getting angry, Wang Ben and others quickly comforted him.

If there are many officials in the court, the old guys can just shrink their necks and pretend not to hear.

But this time when they went out, the other ministers accompanying them could only stay with the guards. Ying Zheng did not let them get too close at all.

Now that they are the only ones around, they are the only ones who can express relief!

If you don't say a word, His Majesty will definitely be even more angry, and then even they will suffer!

"The rumors are getting more and more weird? What about someone digging a dam? This was told by the woodcutter himself. It can't be a rumor, right?"

"Well...even if this is not a rumor, His Highness the Crown Prince said that there are no ghosts in this world!"

Zhang Han immediately directed the conversation to Ying Feiyu.

Now only this boy can reduce His Majesty's anger!

"I know there are no ghosts, and it is precisely because I know there are no ghosts in the world that I am angry!"

Ying Zheng suddenly revealed a sharp look that made people shudder.

Knowing that what happened to the woodcutter could not be the work of ghosts, it proves that someone has tampered with the dam!

Of course, ordinary people would definitely not do this. People who can do such things must have a very different purpose!

"Hiss..."

When Ying Zheng said this, the veterans immediately understood the importance of this matter.

It turns out that His Majesty was so angry not just because he bought and sold his official position.

It was because someone had evil intentions and harmed nearly 100,000 people!
