19. The red-faced pretty county lord

"I'm going to kill him......" Bai Linglong was already a little out of control at this time.

"Calm down, you go to him now, then he will win......" Li Hugo said,

"Don't you think it's too cheap to kill him all at once?

"What should I do...... What should I do......" Bai Linglong whimpered and couldn't speak.

"Li Yutang colluded with horse thieves to squeeze the good...... As far as I know, he should have had a ledger and some list of goods for the horse thieves, and these things ...... can help us reveal Li Yutang's true face, so that the people of the entire Nalan City know that he, Li Yutang, is a dog, a dog that eats people and does not spit out bones, and makes him discredited, which is more appropriate than killing him, otherwise if he dies...... He may become a hero, after all, in the eyes of the whole city, Li Yutang is a good person, a good general, he is the embodiment of benevolence, he is the messenger of justice. Li Hugo said.

"I ...... I can't. Bai Linglong said,

"I'm just a weak woman, how can I do it?"

"No, you are very strong, you are stronger than anyone else! I have checked you, you used to be the daughter of the head of a certain village, born into a scholarly family, but in order to find your younger brother, you can even endure humiliation and burden, and with this determination, you are already above everyone! If I could, I would like to find out those account books myself, but Li Yutang was too careful, he was wary of everyone around him, including those closest to him...... He obviously has a lot of money, but he won't redeem you, can't you see it?" said Li Hugo.

Bai Linglong's mood stabilized a little: "I can give it a try, but ...... How do I contact you?"

"Me. The Emperor of Thieves came out, and he said,

"You have a small flower pot outside the windowsill, which you usually take care of yourself, if you have any news to get out, wrap the information in oiled paper, and hide it at the bottom of the flower pot, tie a white ribbon around the flower pot, and I will come and take your secret letter. ”

"Okay!" Bai Linglong said without hesitation, her eyes were already full of anger at this time, her brother was her hope for life, and now that the hope was gone, she would avenge her brother's blood revenge for everything.

She slowly raised her head: "Li Hugo, you seem to be very different from before." ”

"Yes. Li Hugo put his hands behind his back, and he smiled slightly,

"People, you have to wear a mask, of course, you have to recognize your true identity, the only thing to note is that this mask can't be worn for too long, otherwise it will grow with the skin, and the fake will become real, and then you will really not be able to go down." ”

"Alright. "Li Hugo walked forward,

"This is the end of the meeting, otherwise if you have been away for a long time, if Mother Zhang sees any clues, it will be bad...... Mother Zhang is mercenary, for money, she will sell everything she can sell, even if it is you......"

"I know. Bai Linglong said slowly,

"Young Master Li, thank you. Bai Linglong respectfully bowed to Li Hugo. Li Hugo no longer stayed, but left the mass grave with the Emperor of Thieves and Jun Xue.

"What are we going to do next?" Jun Xue asked.

"Almost, it's time to create some benefits for the common people. Li Hugo looked at the sky, the sky was overcast and full of dark clouds, but he knew that behind the dark clouds, there was a brilliant sunshine.

It's just that the dark clouds are so thick that they completely block out the sun, which makes the surrounding land look lifeless.

But at this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the dark clouds, and a ray of sunlight sneaked out and sprinkled on the city wall, and the light seemed to be not far away.

"The City Lord's Mansion has recruited workers!" Jun Xue stood at the gate of the city and said,

"Recruit workers, one bucket of noodles a day, the speed of signing up, only recruit a hundred people!" Jun Xue's shout made the vicinity of the city gate immediately boil.

"What? Did I hear me wrong, a bucket of noodles a day?"

"Wait a minute, this seems to be the maid next to the soft rice king shouting, is it playing tricks on us?"

"It doesn't matter if he plays it or not, we won't lose a piece of meat anyway, besides...... If it's true, I can get a bucket of noodles every day!"

The Emperor of Thieves masked and stood beside Li Hugo: "Brother, is this really okay?"

"The first step in pulling the sluggish city of Nalan out of the quagmire is to ensure that the people have enough to eat. Li Hugo walked up, and the simple wooden platform was already full of people.

When people saw Li Hugo, one after another showed disdainful expressions.

"Look, it's the King of Soft Rice here!"

"Sure enough, it's a joke about us, nonsense......!

"Yes, where is there such a good thing in the world, it is said that the city lord's mansion is also very poor every day, how can they be merciful and care about our life and death!" Hearing the surrounding discussions, Li Hugo came directly to the stage, scooped up a bucket of noodles with a gourd scoop: "Of course, I didn't give you rice noodles for nothing, you also need to pay the labor in response, from today onwards, the wasteland ten miles outside the city will officially begin to be reclaimed!" A bold man stepped forward and said, "Okay, you give me a bucket of noodles first!" As he spoke, he took out the burlap bag he had with him.

Li Hugo did not hesitate to fill the burlap pocket: "You are the first, so I will give you a bucket, and then I will give you a bucket!" When the man looked at the slowly filled burlap bag, he trembled with excitement, he grabbed a handful of flour and put it to his mouth and licked it: "It's really noodles!" As soon as these words came out, the people near the entire city gate were boiling.

"Wow, that's such a great thing!"

"Oh my God, it's going to be a hundred, I'm ...... I'm on board, too!"

"Don't squeeze, hey, don't squeeze, I said don't squeeze, my pants are all squeezed off!" the people scrambled to get started.

Li Hugo beckoned: "Line up, there is no noodles in the queue!" After a while, the two large bags of rice noodles have been divided, and the people around who got rice noodles are even more desperately surrounded Li Hugo, and under the leadership of Li Hugo, they came to the wasteland outside the city, if this place is to be used as farmland again, irrigation must be introduced, so opening a ditch is the first step.

Li Hugo has also prepared seeds for a long time, and all kinds of seeds, as long as the water is successfully brought in, the reclamation of this field will not be a problem, and in this way, the problem of grain will be solved.

But it's also a long-term plan.

"Brother, the daily food costs fifty taels, so go on like this...... That's a lot of money. The Emperor of Thieves kindly reminded.

"I know that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Li Hugo said. The Emperor of Thieves sighed: "Madame has done this to you, in fact, I think that you can completely stand on your own, just rely on your brother's ability." ”

"She...... Although she is fierce once, she is not a wicked person in her bones. Li Hugo said, after all, the original Nalan Meng, until the last moment, did not abandon Li Hugo, even if Li Hugo died, she fought to the end and died of exhaustion.

However, what Li Hugo didn't know was that at this time, Nalan Meng, was not far from her, she was hiding behind a tree, she heard Li Hugo's words clearly just now, her face was a little hot at this time, she covered her face, and scolded secretly: "This bastard, so embarrassing words, it is so natural, it is really shameless!" She was about to leave, but she couldn't help but glance at Li Hugo, her lips pursed, and she murmured: "Master, it seems that Hugo has really changed......" The reclamation work proceeded in an orderly manner, and three days later Li Hugo arrived as promised and came to inspect the vicinity of the field, but when he came over, he found that the surroundings were in a mess, and the people were all sitting on the ground, and each one of them was more or less injured.

Li Hugo immediately ran to the side of a white-haired old man and said, "Uncle Zhong, what's going on?"

"Yes...... It's my uncle. He said that since Li Hugo recruited these people, everyone who works here can get some food, so his impression of Li Hugo has also changed significantly.

"Uncle Zhong, why have there been so few people all of a sudden?" Li Hugo said with concern.
