This was the first time that everyone saw Jiang Yifeng so angry. They lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to look at Jiang Yifeng.
"explain!"
Jiang Yifeng slammed the table again and said angrily: "If you dare to hide anything again, don't call me your benefactor from now on. We will have no relationship from now on."
After hearing this, everyone became anxious instantly.
They were unwilling to tell the whole story, mainly because they were worried about causing trouble for Jiang Yifeng, but now that Jiang Yifeng threatened to draw a clear line, they had to tell them.
"I said."
Li Erniu stood up, wiped away his tears, and said: "My benefactor, Laifu was injured by people from Linshui Village. They said that we wash in the river every day and wash away the bark of paper mulberry trees, which pollutes the water source and causes them Many people in the village are sick."
Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng frowned.
Because the population of coal villages is about ten times that of ordinary villages, even if you are careful, you will still produce a large amount of domestic sewage.
In addition, bleaching paper mulberry bark requires continuous flushing by river water, which will indeed bring great pollution to the domestic water supply of downstream villages.
If this is the case, it is really difficult to take people to seek justice. After all, the fault is on their side.
"People in Linshui Village are just farting." The village elder said with anger on his face.
Jiang Yifeng asked: "Old Zhang, what do you mean?"
Lao Zhang looked at Jiang Yifeng and said, "My benefactor, Linshui Village is upstream of Coal Village. How could we pollute their water source?"
"Upstream!"
Jiang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and finally understood why everyone seemed to be wronged.
Water always flows to lower areas. Even if it is affected, it is the villages downstream that are affected. There is no reason why the villages upstream are affected.
Li Erniu cried aggrievedly, "Since the construction of our coal village in Da started, they have looked down on us and called us stinky beggars. If it hadn't been for the floods in Yuzhou, who would be willing to leave their hometown and watch their relatives starve to death on the road."
"At first, they bullied us and we tolerated it. After all, we might really affect them. But as time went by, we found that it was not what we thought at all. They just bullied us as outsiders and wanted to take advantage of us. One copper coin was exchanged for our IOU for two copper coins, but we tolerated it because we were worried that if there was a conflict, it would cause trouble for our benefactor."
"Man, if you cry again I'll break your legs." Jiang Yifeng looked at the tearful Li Erniu, cursed, and said: "You don't have to worry about getting me into trouble. There are so many people in our coal village, so bring someone to I'll kill them."
When everyone saw that Jiang Yifeng wanted to make the decision for them, they were like children who had been wronged outside and met their parents. They couldn't control themselves anymore and shed tears.
They fled from Yuzhou and came to Suzhou. They received countless cold looks along the way. Only Jiang Yifeng treated them as human beings.
For this reason, they are willing to bear the grievance and not cause trouble to Jiang Yifeng.
Then, the village elder Zhang said: "My benefactor, it's okay for us to feel a little wronged. Linshui Village has a backer, and we can't afford to offend him."
Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but ask: "What kind of backing does Linshui Village have?"
Lao Zhang was not very sure and hesitated: "It seems that the magistrate of Qinghe County came from Linshui Village."
County magistrate?
Jiang Yifeng picked his ears and almost thought he heard wrongly, because in his eyes, the county magistrate was worthy of being a backer?
The Zhou Dynasty implemented a system of prefectures and counties, which were, in order, prefectures, prefectures, counties, and townships.
Among them, the largest of the prefectures and counties is the county governor, who is directly controlled by the court. The county lieutenant assists the county governor and is in charge of the military of a county. The county supervisor is responsible for supervision.
There are a varying number of counties under a prefecture and county. Take Jiujiang County as an example, there are nine counties below it. A county magistrate is appointed for households with over 10,000 households, and a county magistrate is established for households with less than 10,000 households. They are in charge of the government affairs of a county and are controlled by the county governor.
Qinghe County only has a county magistrate, which means it has less than 10,000 households and is relatively weak among the nine counties.
For such a thing, he didn't even need to take action himself. He only needed to tell the county magistrate that if the Qinghe County magistrate delayed Meishan's business, he would probably be fired that day.
Of course, in the eyes of these disaster victims, the county magistrate is Lord Qingtian, an unattainable high official.
"well!"
Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself: "It's all my fault. I just want to fool them into doing their jobs. I keep acting miserable and make them think I'm weak. As a result, even if they are bullied, they just swallow their anger. This affects the work too much. It seems necessary to show off your strength a little bit.”
When everyone saw Jiang Yifeng sighing, they thought they couldn't afford to offend the county magistrate. In order not to embarrass Jiang Yifeng, they all spoke up.
"Benefactor, don't take this matter to heart, we will be fine."
"When we see people from Linshui Village in the future, we will stay away and not give them any chance to cause trouble."
"People from Linshui Village come to the village to exchange IOUs. Let alone 1:2, even if it is 1:3, we will exchange it for them."
Jiang Yifeng listened to everyone's words and understood that they did not want to embarrass him. He was moved but also very angry at the same time.
He was moved because the victims were truly grateful to him and were willing to suffer injustice in order not to make things difficult for him.
The reason for the anger is that the people in Linshui Village have no bottom line and would bully these people who have suffered great suffering for a small profit.
It should be understood that in previous lives, when one party was in trouble, all parties supported it, and such a situation would basically never happen.
"Fucking farts."
A ball of anger rose in Jiang Yifeng's heart, and he looked at the crowd and said: "If you were the one who took the initiative to cause trouble, let alone being injured, you would still deserve it even if you were beaten to death. But now that you are being bullied, you cannot swallow your anger. This matter I make the decision for you."
Lao Zhang quickly stopped him, "My benefactor, Linshui Village has the county magistrate as its backer, so we can't fight."
When Jiang Yifeng heard this, he just sneered.
He was just a county magistrate, and he really didn't take it seriously. As long as he wanted to, he could easily get rid of him.
However, he did not intend to ask the county magistrate for help for such a trivial matter, as this would make him appear incompetent.
He wants to use his own method to get the whole thing done.
He has never been defensive about others, because he has the intention to harm others.
As long as you are the one harming others, the one you need to guard against is others.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng said: "I will go back to Su City first and come back at noon. Before I come back, Lao Zhang informed me that everyone should stop working today and all the men should bring their fucking weapons for me. , when I come back from Su City, I will take you to take revenge."
Seeing that Jiang Yifeng was serious about taking action, Lao Zhang quickly persuaded him, "My benefactor, this matter should be discussed in the long term and you must not be too angry."
"Shut up."
Jiang Yifeng glared at Lao Zhang fiercely, "If a young man is not full of energy, how can he still be called a young man?"
