Chapter 281 (1/2)

”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.”
