I can see the book of life and death

The dam thing is too simple, beyond my expectation.

Even a person who does not understand water conservancy engineering can feel as long as he stands on the dam that the dam is like an old man and will collapse with a random gust of wind.

I don't need to collect much data. The entire dam is filled with data. As long as someone from above comes to inspect it, problems with the dam can be discovered.

I gave the old man a tael of silver, and he kowtowed heavily to me. His two sons went to the county government to complain, but they both died on the road.

There are no young people in the family, and there are no descendants.

He was already in a state of waiting for death. I wanted to help him but was unable to do so. I gave him a few silver coins. It was just my morality and conscience that warned me.

I never expected to be treated so seriously by him.

I felt ashamed and left in a hurry.

Compared with the problem of dikes, the problem of granaries is not that big.

I just used an excuse, saying that I wanted to buy a batch of grain to make wine, and I easily found a way to enter the granary, which is the most important weapon of the country and cannot be entered by outsiders.

The situation inside the granary is also frightening. There is not much food in the granary used for disaster relief and war preparations.

I don’t know how much food needs to be stored for emergency war preparations, but I also know that something is wrong.

After some insinuation, I learned that the largest granaries were empty.

Most of them were sold to grain merchants in Jianyi and even several counties around Hongdu Prefecture.

This is already an open secret in Jianyi, just like the dam.

No one cares.

No, it's not that no one cares. People who care about them can't speak and can only remain silent, so no one cares.

I collected information in quite detail, describing and explaining in detail the conditions of each granary as well as the damage to the embankments and the several areas where there have been collapse gaps over the years.

Then he traveled over the mountains to Longxing Mansion and secretly made dozens of copies of the information.

I lost several copies in Longxing Mansion, but kept one copy and gave it to a storyteller, asking him to describe the old man who died petitioning and his son.

Dozens of other copies were distributed randomly.

The matter is made public, so even if the higher authorities want to cover it up, or the Jianyi County Magistrate has multiple protective umbrellas, there is no need to worry, someone must be responsible for this.

Things did change, but not in the way I expected.

The storyteller of Longxing Prefecture was arrested for spreading rumors and misleading the public.

Dozens of documents were confiscated, and the incident was quickly put down.

I tried to distribute the information again, but no one dared to pick it up. I even got killed and was almost surrounded by officers and soldiers.

If it weren't for my outstanding martial arts skills, I would have died on the spot.

I overestimated my importance and also overestimated the importance of data.

But things haven't changed.

After returning to Jianyi, I heard that the embankment was undergoing extensive construction work and seemed to need to be repaired, which lasted for several months.

This gave me some comfort in my depressed heart. Although the incident subsided, it seemed to have attracted the attention of the county magistrate.

At any rate, he was still afraid of something happening and finally used some of the money used to build the dams for their original purpose.

Overjoyed, I secretly found the broker from whom I had purchased food again. I thought he would not dare to sell war food at will.

It turned out that the price had only increased by 20%. The broker said slightly unfavorably: "Some time ago, I don't know who went to Longxing Mansion to spread some rumors, which caused a big impact on the business, and the authorities were strict... As a result...

Our prices have to be raised a bit.”

The food purchased this time was at the largest granary in Jianyi.

Well, I heard from the broker that in order to cope with the inspections from above, the grain merchants in Jianyi moved the grains in their warehouses to the largest granaries in Jianyi.

So the transportation fee will be a little more.

I'm all stupid.

What makes me even more stunned is that at the back, the operation of the dam is also the same.

There is a section of the embankment that is about one kilometer long. It is built solidly and solidly. The embankment is right on the roadside and can be seen by everyone around. It appears to be unusually solid.

But having learned from the experience of the granary, I don’t want to believe that the county magistrate is willing to bleed so much.

I walked forward for a few more miles, and sure enough, it was exactly as I expected.

For several miles it was dilapidated and dilapidated, and even a small section had been dug out in some sections.

The dam materials built by the predecessors were quite good. The county magistrate probably wanted to save money, so he demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, and built a section of the facade project, but other sections...

Soon after, people from above were sent down to inspect the area, and everyone was happy with the results.

Everything is just a rumor. Han Qiong, the magistrate of Jianyi County, worked hard to govern the country. He was very considerate and dedicated to the sake of the people of Jianyi County.

The grain in the granary is piled up like a mountain, and the dikes are strong and tall.

The county magistrate Han Qiong, on the other hand, had a poor family. The reason why he was slandered was because when he built dikes and stored grain in the granary, he offended local wealthy families and was not tolerated by others.

Zhang Mingtu couldn't stand the announcement posted by the county magistrate.

That would piss him off to death.

When things progressed to this point, Zhang Mingtu was able to understand what the head of the Zhang family who was killed for rebellion said before his death.

Everything in front of me was dark.

The magistrate of Jianyi County and the big families in Jianyi join forces to deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates. Who can be their opponent?

I spent a lot of time hiding my identity and collecting a lot of information.

It turned out that my efforts were in vain.

No, it's not wasted effort.

Mr. Storyteller, I was imprisoned because of this, and during the subsequent investigation, I heard that the old man whose two sons died was taken away by people from the county government and beaten to death on the spot.

I can't see any light in this world.

When Zhang Mingtu saw this, his heart was also shrouded in a heavy cloud.

The road ahead is really dark, with no light in sight. If he was born like this, he could still endure the fact that he has never seen the light and just treat himself as a blind person.

The old man who was guarding the village was the one who had long accepted his fate.

But Zhang Mingtu had seen the light, so living in darkness made it even more unbearable for him.

I endured silently, practicing martial arts while looking for new opportunities.

But I never expected that things would suddenly turn around two years later.

A clerk in the county government collected a lot of information about the county magistrate Han Qiong, including bullying his superiors and subordinates, embezzling money for building river embankments, and reselling grain for war preparations.

In front of the inspection envoy of Jiangnan West Road, he handed over many materials.

Things have changed in Jianyi.

The county magistrate was dismissed from his post and investigated, and all relevant persons were imprisoned.

It turns out there is still light in this world.

I thought I was the only light, but I didn't want anyone to shine like a torch.

Things started unexpectedly and ended unexpectedly.

The people were applauded, and for half a month, Jianyi was enveloped in laughter and laughter.

Even when I'm at home, I can't help but smile.

The old man Jiu knew about it, but was laughed at in a low voice by the old man Jiu.

"The sky has never changed!"
