Chapter 470: The Fate of Judge Zhang
"Your Excellency, what...what is going on? Why did you bring me here in the middle of the night?" Judge Zhang said in a trembling voice.
"What's going on? Lord Zhang, don't you know? Don't you know these people?" Wei Qing pointed at the people kneeling there.
Zhang Tongpan took a look and quickly looked away: "No... I don't know him."
"You don't know them, but they know you." Wei Qing sneered, "They confessed everything about you ordering them to dig the dam!"
"Sir, this is unjust. I did nothing! It was them... they were the ones who framed me!"
Wei Qing slammed his hand on the table. "Zhang Tongpan, do you really think I'm a fool? Don't you know what you've done? As the Tongpan of Water Conservancy, you don't care about the people. It's bad enough you're lazy and idle, but you actually want to interfere! Forget being an official, you're not even worthy of being a human being!"
Wei Qing shouted harshly, emitting coldness and murderous intent.
Judge Zhang was so frightened by this threat that he trembled. Seeing Wei Qing's hand fall on the hilt of the sword, his face instantly lost all color.
This sword has been sharpened, and the first person it killed was the county magistrate of Hegu County!
He doesn't want to die!
Judge Zhang now regrets it very much.
He doesn't dare anymore!
Never dare to do it again!
"Sir, please spare my life. I was wrong! Please spare my life!" Judge Zhang kowtowed to Wei Qing and begged for mercy.
Wei Qing drew his sword, a cold light flashed, and a few strands of hair fell to the ground.
"The flood in Yizhou has affected countless people. Flood control efforts have saved countless civilians. You dare to sabotage flood control efforts. I will remove you from office today and send you to the capital for trial! Come, take you away."
Judge Zhang was so frightened that he almost fell over, with a puddle of yellow water appearing under him.
So he was dragged away like this.
The next day.
Judge Zhang was escorted away by several officers.
The people all knew about Zhang Tongpan's affairs, and they rushed up to spit at him and beat him up.
Wei Qing watched from the side and did not stop it.
This is the consequence of daring to obstruct flood control. He will be watched by those with ulterior motives!
Judge Zhang was beaten and sent to the county half-dead, and then to the capital.
…
Wei Qing returned to his residence to deal with some matters. He could finish the things on hand today. Tomorrow, he planned to go back to Hegu County to see his wife.
He was writing a letter very seriously when he suddenly heard footsteps.
The person who came in tiptoed and made sure his footsteps were very quiet.
Wei Qing pretended not to hear and continued writing the letter.
The man tiptoed into the room and quietly walked behind Wei Qing.
The wind blew, and Wei Qing smelled a familiar fragrance.
Wei Qing couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth into an almost invisible arc.
The next moment, Wei Qing's eyes were covered.
Wei Qing's big hand, wrapped around the small hand covering his eyes, was soft.
"Who is it?"
Wei Qing pretended to think for a moment: "I can't imagine who it is..."
"Why don't you kiss me, maybe I can guess it."
Tangli leaned over and kissed her man on the chin.
Wei Qing's hand fell directly on her waist, hugged her slender waist, picked her up and sat her on his lap.
The difference in their body sizes made Tang Li completely trapped in his arms.
The two looked at each other, both filled with longing.
Wei Qing lifted her chin and kissed her.
This kiss expressed all the longing for you for more than twenty days.
Wei Qing wanted to eat his wife!
After the kiss ended, Wei Qing did not let her go, but rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Wife, I'm so tired~" Wei Qing's voice was full of coquettishness.
Outside the door, Chang Yu originally wanted to discuss something with the imperial envoy, but when he heard these words, he was stunned.
Did these coquettish words come from the mouth of the imperial envoy?
In his eyes, the Imperial Envoy was a tall, cold and tough man with a decisive character and a cold aura. He never thought that he would act like a spoiled child when he was alone with his wife!
Chang Yu found it difficult to connect the imperial envoy's stern face with his coquettish behavior.
Chang Yu took a deep breath.
He heard nothing.
He turned and left quietly.
Tangli reached out and massaged her man's shoulders.
"Thank you for your hard work~"
Wei Qing snorted softly, his wife served him too well.
"Husband, how is the progress of flood control?" Tang Li asked.
She is very concerned about the flood situation in Yizhou and prays every day for effective flood control.
Wei Qing focused on the key points of the water control situation.
"Wife, you really picked up a treasure for me. Chang Yu is really a treasure." Wei Qing said.
Of course he is a treasure. This man is the big shot who solved the flood in Yizhou and his name will be recorded in history!
"Chang Yu proposed building a canal to connect Yizhou, Liangzhou and Qingzhou. I think his idea is great. If this canal is built, it will benefit future generations!" Wei Qing said.
Tangli's eyes lit up when he heard this.
She didn't know much about water control, but if her husband said it was okay, then it must be okay.
And there is indeed a story about building a canal in the novel, but in the novel, Chang Yu's construction of the canal was not going smoothly and was even stopped by the emperor at that time.
Chang Yu also died with hatred in his heart.
It was later generations who completed the construction of the canal.
"Husband, this is a good idea. You must fully support him." Tang Li said.
"I sent a memorial to the capital and wrote a letter to the Prime Minister." Wei Qing said.
Tang Li kissed him on the lips. Her husband was so smart!
Wei Qing also asked Tang Li what had happened in the past few days, and Tang Li mentioned the issue of food.
"As the governor of Yizhou, County Magistrate Lu doesn't care about flood control, and he doesn't care about grain merchants driving up grain prices. He is really hateful." Wei Qing said.
"Yes, you crooked official! He won't even open the granaries to release the grain, saying that all the grain has been distributed for disaster relief," Tang Li said.
Fortunately, there are good people like the Fan family and the Shen family, so the victims did not starve to death.
Wei Qing originally wanted to go back to Hegu County to accompany his wife for two days, but since his wife came, he decided not to go back for the time being.
After he finished writing the letter, he took Tangli's hand and went to the canal to watch everyone building the embankment.
"Sir, ma'am!"
"The Lord and the Lady are here!"
"Hello, my lord, hello, my lady."
The craftsmen greeted each other.
Many of these craftsmen were disaster victims and were very familiar with Wei Qing and Tang Li.
After the two came to Hegu County, they finally saw hope, so they were very grateful to them and were very enthusiastic towards them.
Wei Qing and Tang Li nodded in response to everyone's greetings.
After the two of them left, everyone started talking in low voices.
"The Imperial Envoy and his wife are truly loving."
"Yes, don't you think that when the lady is around, the master seems particularly well behaved?"
"Yeah, it's not that scary anymore. I usually have a cold face and I don't even dare to look adults in the eye."
"What's so scary about adults? They look a bit fierce, but they're very kind. Without them, how could we eat?"
The discussion continued.
