Chapter 82: August 15

On the evening of 14 August, Yang Shenjin was reporting to Li Linfu on the situation of the afternoon interrogation in the Buzheng Square in the west of the imperial city, the house of Li Linfu on the right.

Li Linfu raised his head, and the fingers of his right hand habitually tapped on the desk, which was a small movement when he was thinking, and the transcript sent by Yang Shenjin was placed on the desk.

"Why do you want to involve Yang Taizhen's matter?" Li Linfu asked Yang Shenjin, his voice was flat, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

"The reason why the lower officials thought that the reason why the Holy Lord would let our three divisions try such a small case was to return justice to the hundred officials, and besides, presumably the internal guards had already reported the case to the Holy Lord. Since this is the case, the lower officials think that it is better to reveal the facts of the case to the world, so that the saint and the hundred officials can see our determination to investigate the case. Yang Shen replied with righteous words.

Li Linfu stared at Yang Shenjin for a moment, but Yang Shenjin still looked righteous and awe-inspiring, Li Linfu suddenly smiled and said: "Ming'er is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I won't keep you today, go back and rest!"

"Enxiang should also rest early, and the next official will retire!" After Yang Shenjin finished speaking, he said goodbye to Li Linfu and went out.

"Kaiyang, what do you think?" After Yang Shenjin left, Li Linfu turned to Qian Yi and asked.

"This man...... I'm not honest!" Qian Yi said carefully.

"Yes, it seems that he still has other thoughts, and the lessons of more than a year are not enough!" Li Linfu said with a smile, with a hint of essence in his eyes.

Also in the house of Li Shizhi, the left prime minister in Buzheng Fang, a similar conversation is also going on at the moment.

"Proprietor, whose person is this Yang Shenjin?" asked the old man's staff beside Li Shizhi to Li Shizhi.

"I don't know, when he came out like this, I was also confused by him!" Li Shizhi shook his head and said.

"It seems that this time Li Gonu has stolen chickens and rice!" The old man smiled a little gloatingly, now it was just a secret conversation between the two, and the old man also let go of the superficial respect for the right minister.

"Alright, don't take care of other people's houses! we're still in a lot of trouble!" Li Shizhi interrupted the old man's excitement.

"Lao Zheng, go and send a message to the third child of the Yang family, saying that I will hold a banquet on the 'Furong Building' tomorrow, and invite him to come. Li Shizhi continued.

"Yang Zhao, the proprietor is really a clever plan!" Zheng Lao also understood.

This Yang Zhao is not a stupid person, I will remind him tomorrow, he should know what to do. Li Shizhi smiled and said.

August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon has not yet risen in the sky.

Yuzhang County, Poyang Lake, Changshan Island.

More than ten days have passed, and the construction on Xiashan Island is in full swing, and even in this festival, there are still many workers busy on the construction site. There are some buildings left over from the past on the island, and the anxious merchants have been the first to settle in and do some business for the workers, and the merchants who have come from the surrounding areas have also gathered on the island to negotiate with those profitable families about renting shops, and more merchants who are farther away are still on the way, and the geographical advantages of the Truong Son Islands can be seen. After all, holidays only belong to those officials who live in the temple, and these people living at the bottom, whether they are lifu or businessmen, are still struggling for their livelihoods.

Peng Ze led the villagers to build their new homes, all the green bricks and blue tiles, and the villagers' progress was very fast, even far exceeding the Xiashan Island full of workers.

For no other reason, in the northernmost part of Changshan Island, a place called "Grandma Cave of Savage Mountain", smoke is billowing at the moment, and dozens of big men are still wearing thick clothes and a strange mask on their faces on a hot day. The mask is very large, and there are two glittering pieces of things in the position of the two eyes, and the thick dust on it is wiped off by hand, and it is actually a glass worth a thousand gold! The mask is directly opposite the mouth of the place where a long bamboo tube is inserted, the bamboo tube is filled with granular bamboo charcoal, the whole mask is very well sealed, but after wearing it, the breathing is very smooth, and the dust flying in the sky seems to be just the annoying flying flotsam in the summer reeds, which is harmless.

As for whether anyone would break the mask because of greedy glass, Xu Chen had already expected this, it was not that the glass was worthless, but just the stupid words of burning mud. In fact, it was very simple, Xu Chen just told them that if they wanted to burn the materials used by the gods, they could only wear the masks used by the gods, and for these simple villagers, these white lies were far less harmful to their beliefs than those shocking truths, and of course they were more effective. Now, after each day's work, they will run to the lake, carefully wipe the dirt in every crevice of the mask, and then treat it as a treasure until the next day's work begins.

Every time they put on a mask, they will always have an indescribable pride, but there is also a blasphemous pleasure after defiling the fairy treasure, some people are right, the Chinese people have no faith because the Chinese people are pragmatists, which god works they worship that, and only when they need to use it.

The villagers now need the materials used by these gods, and they will naturally be grateful to this god, and when the gray mud mixed with sand and gravel is poured into the foundation or roof, the simple eyes of the villagers are full of worship and awe for this god.

And the immortal they worshipped did not have the slightest immortal aura at the moment.

Xu Chen is now busy in the kitchen, the same structure of blue bricks and blue tiles, and the walls inside the room have been specially asked by Xu Chen to be brushed with a layer of white ash by the craftsmen, although it is not as delicate and shiny as the house where the future generations lived, but it can also make the house look more clean and comfortable. After the house was built, Shi Lei clamored to move in, ignoring the stove Xu Chen built in the house, and later Xu Chen had to let the craftsmen build several of the same houses for the brothers to live in.

Now this kind of indoor white house is still only inhabited by teenagers on the entire island, and of course Tang Yuan and his wife are also inhabited. Just kidding! Now the layer of porcelain scraped inside the house was all painstakingly developed by Tang Yuan under Xu Chen's narration, and as soon as the experts came out, the things that came out were naturally not comparable to the white ash made by a layman like Xu Chen.

However, when Xu Chen righteously told his brothers what he said, what came to the minds of the young people was the "literate element" who was stabbed to death by his eldest brother on the night he attacked Sun Batian.

I don't have time to pay attention to the young man with strange expressions and those fanatical villagers, isn't it just some cement and glass! In the land of Jiangxi, the composition of the soil is very complex, and in the mountains in the south, there are rare earth ores that are as valuable as gold in later generations, and it is too simple to find out some ingredients for firing cement and glass!

Xu Chen got up before dawn today, rushed into the kitchen and has been busy until now, and the materials that have been prepared for more than ten days have also been taken out in one go. Mixing the noodles, stirring with eggs, kneading them into a circle, and putting them in a special oven, Xu Chen began a long wait.

An hour later, a familiar aroma wafted out of the oven, and Xu Chen hurriedly took out the things, not moon cakes, but things that are indispensable for today's day, of course, only for Xu Chen. Wrapped the cream made of some fresh milk that he had finally obtained with a layer of cloth, opened a small opening at the bottom, Xu Chen evenly smeared the cream, and then wrapped the jam made from crushed fresh fruit with the same cloth and wrote the words "Happy Birthday" on the white cream. Finally, the cut fruits were put on the table one by one, and finally, a fruit cake was done.

"Cauldron, I want to eat!" The foodie Shi Lei stood outside so stupidly, his fingers stuck into his mouth and kept sucking, saliva was left all over the ground along his arm, and seeing that Xu Chen was ready, he immediately said inarticulately.

Shi Lei was asleep, but the aroma wafting from the kitchen made him sleepwalk up, and followed the fragrance to the kitchen door, and Shi saw that the eldest brother was seriously busy inside. When Shi Lei saw the eldest brother's focused expression, he knew that the eldest brother was doing something very important, and Shi remembered that the eldest brother had not been so serious even two days before he came to Changshan Island. At this time, if you go in and disturb the eldest brother, you will definitely break the dog's leg! No! It's a human leg!

So Shi Lei had to stand at the door stupidly and watch, his face was not washed, and his teeth were ...... He had just brushed his saliva several times, and he was grumbling with hunger, but he still refused to move half a step, and the sweet aroma of the cake had long since made him forget that he had to eat a lot of breakfast every day.

"Do you know these words?" Xu Chen pointed to the words on the cake and said to Shi Lei.

"Know!" Shi Lei trotted in, glanced at his eyes, and quickly nodded and said, but his eyes could no longer leave the cake.

"Do you have a birthday today?" Xu Chen asked lightly.

"No......" Shi also understood what the eldest brother meant, and shook his head dejectedly and said.

So, Shi raised his head and looked at Xu Chen with a resentful expression.

Xu Chen saw the stone as it was now, his hair was fluffy and uncombed, his fingers were still in his mouth and kept sucking, saliva kept flowing down his hands, and there were still eye feces left in the corners of his eyes......

"Alas......" Xu Chen sighed, then picked up the knife on the table, carefully cut a piece in the corner of the cake, and hurriedly trimmed it with cream, and then packed it in a wooden box, lifted the cake, and walked away without looking back.

Nowadays, Shi is really more and more able to use his cuteness and cuteness, pretending to be weak, Xu Chen is really afraid that if he doesn't leave, this hard-won cake will not be able to be brought out.

Xu Chen trotted all the way to the house where Tang Yuan and his wife lived, and he didn't change the clothes on his body, and his green shirt was covered with red, green, and white stains everywhere, colorful everywhere, and even his face was covered with white flour. There is no concealment, anyway, this is also a testimony of my hard work, and it is not a fraud, and I can't let myself show it in front of others!

"Uncle, aunt, the thing is ready!" Xu Chen muttered from afar.

"Xiao Chen, what is it? I came here early in the morning. Tang heard Xu Chen's voice and walked out of the kitchen next to the house and asked Xu Chen.

After more than ten days of getting along, under Xu Chen's deliberate expression, Tang Yuan and his wife no longer had the original vigilance against Xu Chen. Through guò continued to understand, Tang Yuan and his wife found out that Xu Chen was an orphan, and just a few months ago he was still begging around for a living, and in this short period of time, he led a group of teenagers who were also orphans to break through a great career. is really sad and heroic, and it can be said that it satisfies the tastes of Tang Yuan and his wife at the same time. After going back and forth like this, Tang Yuan and his wife actually had a kind of care for Xu Chen like a nephew.

"Auntie, let me sell it first, and then I'll talk about it later, what about my uncle?" Xu Chen raised the wooden box in the book and said mysteriously.

"Okay, I'll talk about it later, your uncle is still sitting there thinking about your chess game yesterday!" Tang said to Xu Chen with a smile.

The two immediately entered the house and saw Tang Yuan sitting on the chair sent by Xu Chen in a daze at a pair of chessboards on the table, the chessboard was not black and white, although Xu Chen could also play Go, but he was really not proficient. Moreover, Go is suitable for playing with the elderly, and against Tang Yuan, who is in the prime of life, this fierce chess is more enjoyable.

So, Xu Chen deliberately used bamboo and wood to make a pair of chess and ran to Tang Yuan, and after explaining the rules clearly, within a few games, Tang Yuan fell in love with this feeling of being on the battlefield. It's just that whenever Tang Yuan picked up the chess piece high and was about to press it down to eat the piece, the remaining burrs on the chess piece would prick him upset, and after a few handfuls, Tang Yuan finally couldn't bear it, dropped the chess piece, and said to Xu Chen: "Wait!" and turned his head and left.

Within a few hours, Tang Yuan came back with a pair of chess made of porcelain, a master is a master, the white luster, the soft touch, and the Chinese characters on it like iron painting silver hooks, all made Xu Chen admire.

Although Tang Yuan knew that this was Xu Chen's sycophant, this feeling of doing what he liked was really cool!

"Xiao Chen, come on, I have figured out a way to crack your chess game yesterday!" Tang Yuan saw Xu Chen walk in and hurriedly said.
