The night was already deep, and half of the crescent rose from the sky to the east, hiding in the treetops and protruding their heads. The sky was shining with stars, like pearls, and a river of heaven was traversing across the middle.

The wind blows from the Yellow River, with coolness and earthy air, floating on the land on the bank of the Yellow River.

Li Chan looked up and sucked a mouthful of wind from the Yellow River into his stomach, looking at the stars in the sky. He stood in the courtyard of the Sanhuang Temple, under the silver ginkgo tree, and remained motionless for a long time.

He entered the officialdom and his father went early. The difficulties encountered in the officialdom were beyond the reach of the Jinshi people like Xu Ping. The setbacks that Xu Ping encountered were not worth mentioning in Li Chan. He started as a county magistrate, struggled for more than ten years, and had almost never made any mistakes and had outstanding political achievements, so he reached the current position of being a magistrate. As soon as Xu Ping became the magistrate, he served for two and six years, and then he was promoted rapidly and was already a servant in his twenties.

The civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty were planned by thousands of people, how many people could be servants? Li Shen didn't dare to think that he could have such a day. But he never gave up hope, and he still moved forward step by step.

When he was in office as the magistrate of Yanshan County, he opened warehouses and released grain, mobilized large households to Zhou Ji, distributed bran to the poor, and saved countless families. It was the beginning of his start in the officialdom. Disaster relief is worse than disaster prevention. It is based on this understanding that after many years of thinking and practice, Li Shen launched the Qingmiao Loan. Including Li Di, who was sentenced to Mengzhou, he admired and actively supported his achievements. Unexpectedly, he encountered a nail in Xu Ping.

Just now, Li Shen could feel that Xu Ping did not agree with Qingmiaodai from the bottom of his heart and believed that it would basically not play any role. All arrangements are focused on Qingmiaodai and should not cause bad consequences.

I was really wrong? Or was it because of the timing that Xu Ping encountered some things in the year of disaster? But wasn’t the original intention of launching a bill of rice dump loans to prevent disasters?

Li Shen closed his eyes and felt his heart was irritated.

In any case, I would do it first as Xu Ping ordered. Not to mention the duties of inspecting the rivers and inspecting the local area, the identity of the Sansi Deputy Envoy of the Salt and Iron Envoy of the Sansi forced Li Shen to do this. The embezzlement of money and materials was strictly speaking, it was embezzling the money and grain stored in the Sansi. The matter was big or small. Li Shen's fate in the officialdom was already in the hands of the Sansi. What could Xu Ping be under the Sansi?

Xu Ping did not spend any more time on this matter. It is now very clear, and the process is not complicated. Li Shen issued a Qingmiao loan to the local area for disaster prevention. As the protector, Jiang Dayou was unwilling to be in vain because the households fled and his money was lost in vain. According to the convenience of the previous practice, he let his subordinates pretend to be a public servant in Heyin County and go to other places to arrest the fleeing farmers. Xu Ping didn't want to know who is right and who is wrong. Most of the things in the world cannot tell whether they are right or wrong. He just needs Li Shen to figure out the situation in Heyin County and not delay the opening of the canal after the autumn.

As for the previous matters, find out which one is a crime and establishes a law and discipline. If you should get rid of the board, then hit the board, if you are fined, you will be fined the property, if you are confiscated, you will be confiscated, if you are confiscated, you will be confiscated, if you are confiscated, you will be confiscated, if you are confiscated, you will be beheaded. The matter ends here, and you will be ignored.

Li Shen can make the decision on all this, Li Di will not let go, even the Criminal Department and the Transportation Commission have only the duties of supervision. Everyone is here, so they should be done neatly.

The next morning, Xu Ping got up and washed up. As soon as he left the room, he saw Li Shen standing outside the door.

After greetings, Li Chan asked, "I don't know what instructions are required this year?"

Xu Ping said: "After breakfast, I will take people to inspect the river. You stay in the Sanhuang Temple, and I will send a few people to you. Today, I will first interrogate the escaped Sun Fengnian family brought on the road and the three people pretending to be public officials, and remember the confession. What is the situation? You must figure it out. - By the way, the people with the surname Sun should not make things difficult for the people. It is not a last resort. Who will leave their hometown? They are all pitiful people."

"I remember it."

After instructing Li Shen, Xu Ping to have breakfast. After breakfast, he took Lu Fang and others to the Yellow River to continue to explore the rivers along the way and figure out the geological conditions.

After seeing off Xu Ping and his party, Li Shen called a follower and said to him: "Go to the county magistrate Yao to see what happened today. Come back to report me. By the way, tell him by the way, let him write a letter to me every day in the future."

The follower Ying Nuo turned around and left the temple gate and headed towards the county town not far away.

As Yao Zeguang's immediate boss, not to mention Xu Ping is here, he is just himself, Yao Zeguang should get up early every day to ask for advice. Xu Ping has already left the house, and there is no sign of Yao Zeguang. Li Shen was very dissatisfied.

After giving all the instructions, Li Shen then breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Mengzhou official who brought him around: "Go and move a table and a few chairs to mention Sun Fengnian's family!"

The public official crossed his hands and said that someone went to move tables and chairs, and they separated the two of them together with the bridge and road army left by Xu Ping, and went to the side room next to him to bring Sun Fengnian and his wife and Sun Erlang out.

Sun Fengnian returned to Heyin County with Xu Ping and his party. He was entertaining his family with food and drink every day, but no one came to ask a question, and he was inevitably uneasy. He heard someone calling him to ask questions, and he felt even more frightened.

When I arrived at the ginkgo tree in the yard, I saw an official in his thirties and forties sitting on a chair behind the table. There was a table next to him, and someone was sitting there holding paper and pen. Five or six people stood on the other side, and they were all seen as the public in the yamen. They looked fierce.

Sun Fengnian walked forward tremblingly, and someone standing aside shouted loudly: "When you see the judge from this state, why don't you come forward and salute quickly!"

Sun Fengnian shivered, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, saluted and said, "Small Min Sun Fengnian, have met the judge."

Li Shen looked at him and said in a deep voice: "You are Sun Fengnian, a native of Heyin who fled with his family? Get up and talk."

Sun Fengnian thanked him, stood up, stood with his family, and looked carefully at the judge behind the table.

Mengzhou is too close to Xijing Henan Prefecture, and ministers from the court often come to serve as prefects. At this time, the civil affairs of the state are decided by the judge. As the people here, Sun Fengnian is not surprised, knowing that the official in front of him is the largest official in the state, and he is in charge of the life and death power of these common people.

Li Shen coughed gently and asked in a deep voice: "Sun Fengnian, why did you escape with your family? But I had borrowed the Qingmiao loan from the government and was unable to repay it due to the disaster, so I fled to avoid debts?"

After hearing this, Sun Fengnian widened his eyes and said loudly: "Officials, what Qingmiaodian is, I have never heard of it! My family moved because the harvest was not good this year, so it was really difficult to survive here. I heard from those who were running on the boat in the Yellow River that Kaifeng Prefecture is short of staff, and there are also land stewards to recruit people to go there to find a way out!"
