The construction of the embankment is in full swing, but some people can't see that the tide is good, and there are small moves in secret.
"Don't worry, master, the slave bought a man who repaired the river embankment to create a mess, so that the Winged King could taste the taste of being in a hurry."
"Do it carefully, don't let people see through it at a glance and burn yourself." The man in the darkness commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, the minion will not let the master down." Respectfully responded, and the voice was a little confident.
"Stand down." The man in the dark didn't make a sound, and laughed with the jade pixiu in his hand, "The little girl should have the appearance of a little girl, if she loses her protection when she goes to Beijing, can she still be arrogant?" ”
"Master, someone has moved." Hongrui entered the house and reported all the information she learned.
"So fast?" It's only been a few days, and being too anxious is obviously a preliminary temptation, and Xi Chao didn't take it to heart.
"Keep an eye on it, find out who is behind it." Xi Chao has a bottom in his heart, and there are only a few hostilities that come up, and the focus is on the back hand, and now he has to find out the attitude of the people in the shadows.
"Yes." Hongrui responded, "Does Doctor Xu need to send more manpower over there?" "In the past few days, the master has been busy with Xu Mian wandering around the city alone, so it is necessary to have a few guards for Xu Mian in order to avoid harm.
"You can do it." The Xi Dynasty threw the matter to Hongrui, and there was the news of the Acropolis delivered today in front of him, and the Yan army didn't look very easy on his side.
Hongrui didn't see the master's orders. Consciously retreat to do the things that have been explained before, and do not disturb the master.
At night, the riverbank was pitch black, and a figure was drowned in the night. Carefully moving towards the embankment, which had already been repaired a third of the way.
It was pitch black all around, and the comers didn't dare to light it up, so they could only find a location in the dark from memory, estimate where it was easiest to put it, hurriedly do what they should do, and quietly leave under the cover of night.
On the second day, everyone started work after breakfast at dawn, and they didn't talk and laugh with their teammates, and few people were lazy. How can they not care about the importance of the dam in their hearts.
Li Da's team was just about to start construction, but the team leader stopped and stepped forward to check the place where it was repaired yesterday, and kicked it up and collapsed. was so shocked that everyone subconsciously retreated far away.
What's going on? Everyone was confused and fortunately didn't start the construction, otherwise a person accidentally pushed it down and killed him, and his eyes fell on the person who led the team, and the team leader noticed that something was wrong first.
The voice was not small, and the people around looked at it curiously. Look, the embankment that was built yesterday has collapsed. Obviously, the good wall mud has dried out, how can it collapse.
The craftsman in charge of this part talked about it, and the matter came too suddenly, and everyone was at a loss with their eyes dark.
"My lord, we are definitely not lazy!" When such a thing happened, the people who made a lot of effort were quite worried.
"We didn't cut corners, repairing the river embankment is a big deal, and we will never do anything that will ruin our conscience." The crowd was indignant and clamored to find the culprit.
"It was deliberately sabotage, and this matter will be decided by the prince." The guards knew the inside story and didn't mean to blame everyone. Let them get back to work and not delay the deadline due to accidents. The flood season can not wait.
When everyone heard that it was none of their business, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and secretly guessed that they were going to be struck by lightning because they had done such a thing.
During the lunch break, Xi Chao summoned everyone to give an explanation about the accident that happened this morning, and Xu Mian followed over to join in the fun, sitting beside the Wing King and looking at the people present.
Without opening his mouth, he just relied on a cold look, which made everyone who was whispering suddenly stop talking, and looked at the place where the Wing King was for no reason.
Sweeping the indignant looks on everyone's faces, his gaze stopped on a person in the crowd, and Xi Chao accurately found the culprit.
The man was furious in his heart, and secretly warned himself to be calm, no one knew that he had done it, and a look without evidence could not explain the problem.
The people around him were not stupid, and when they noticed that one person looked wrong, they were still trembling, and they suddenly flashed in their hearts and connected with the current matter, and their anger erupted.
"It turned out to be your kid's ghost." One person stepped forward and grabbed the man's front placket and shouted angrily, "How can you do this, this is everyone's hard work!" "Kick a man to the ground.
"What are you doing, beating people, is there any royal law!" The man bared his teeth in pain and shouted loudly.
Everyone saw that there were signs of cursing, and there were still people who stepped forward and kicked twice to relieve their anger, how could there be such a bastard thing who didn't care about the lives of others.
The guards entered the crowd and brought the man with a blue nose and swollen face to the front, and the commotion gradually quieted down, and the eyes were focused on the front again.
"Do you have anything to say?" Shio's indifferent gaze shot at the man covered in dirt and described as a wolf.
"Lord Wang, the villain is wronged! The villain didn't do anything, they deliberately framed and beat people, and the prince wanted to make the decision for the villain. The man's body was throbbing with tears that he could not stop, and he looked as if he had been greatly wronged.
Everyone was angry when they heard it, and it was a good mouth to reverse right and wrong, which was really not a thing! Such a villain should be sent to prison and brought to justice.
"Where was the third watch last night?" Xi Chao asked without hesitation.
"The villain slept at home last night and didn't go out." The man's eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at the person sitting on the top, even if he was still young, and the momentum of his whole body made him feel cold.
"Who did you see in South Lane two nights ago?" Xi Chao continued to ask, and there was no joy or anger in his voice.
When the man heard this, the beads of sweat that were the size of cold beans rolled down in his heart, and unfortunately flowed into his eyes, and his stinging eyes hurt, and his heart was very confused and he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that the man couldn't answer, Xichao motioned to Hongrui and said that small fish and shrimp like this are not worth paying too much attention to themselves.
"Two days ago, I met a man who gave you a hundred taels of silver and asked you to do something on the embankment, and it would be better to kill a few people and then make a big deal and cause public anger. After that, the man will pay you another thousand taels as a reward afterwards. "Hongrui spits words clearly and clearly explains the facts.
"How dare the villain wronged the villain, the villain has never seen anyone." The man bit it to death and didn't admit it, but unfortunately the trembling situation was suddenly revealed.
Hongrui threw the confiscated evidence in the man's face. "Your wife has confessed truthfully, and she still wants to deny it!" A fool who doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see a coffin.
The man's heart sank when he saw the evidence, his legs and stomach were weak and he almost fell to the ground, the blood on his face receded, and his lips trembled and he couldn't spit out half a syllable.
"Waste other people's lives for money, how many lives can a thousand taels of silver buy!" Hongrui hated this kind of despicable villain, "You can leave with a large sum of silver, these people who work hard to be a good person for the sake of their families." Because your greed will be harmed by the flood, your wife will be scattered, your family will be ruined, and your filthy silver will be used with peace of mind! ”
The crowd was furious, and they cursed the man for not having a human reality, and severely punished him. This kind of villain should be cut by a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"The prince spared his life, it was really not done by a villain." The man was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, "It's that person who has the intention to threaten the villain and the villain's family." The villain must not do it in order to save his life. Ask the prince for mercy. "Knock knock to seek forgiveness, as for the truth of the words, who knows.
"It's a good one." Xi Chao raised the corner of his lips slightly, and a sneer appeared, "There are many people in the world who are not able to do it, like you, even if you have a hurtful heart, but you can't ask for forgiveness with three words, what is the use of the king's law." ”
Xi Chao lost the patience to listen to people's quibbles, and made a gesture, and the guards willingly drew their swords, and their hands rose and fell. Blood gushed out instantly, and the man's head rolled to the side. The look of horror on his face with his eyes wide open.
This terrifying scene made everyone's hair stand on end, and in front of them, a living person was beheaded, although he had also seen the beheading of a prisoner at the entrance of the vegetable market, as far as the situation in front of him was concerned, it was too fast, so fast that people couldn't react at all, and it was inevitable to be frightened.
"This is a warning, and if such an incident happens, it will end up equally." As soon as Xi Chao's emotionless words came out, he threw a muffled thunder while pulling back everyone's thoughts.
After the matter was dealt with, Xi Chao didn't stay much and took people back, the guards consciously cleaned up the corpses, and everyone returned to the place where they went to work to continue to work.
In the evening, when I went to settle today's wages, everyone gathered together to talk about today's events, and the bloody scene resurfaced in my mind, and I shivered for no reason.
Some people said with fear in their eyes that the Wing King said that if he kills, he will kill people, although the evidence is conclusive and should be handed over to the government to punish him, but it has not reached the point of really killing his head.
Someone immediately refuted after hearing this, no matter how innocent that person is, then our life is not life, fortunately it was found in time, otherwise we would have to go to half a life if we were not stoned to death on the spot, how to live at home in the future, everyone is the pillar of the family, pointing to support the family.
"Yes, if you spare it, who will bear the consequences of others again, this time you will escape a catastrophe, next time, there will be a thousand days to be a thief, a thousand days to prevent thieves." Some people are indignant and express their opinions.
"The Winged King has clear rewards and punishments, and it is merciful to kill his person and not pursue his wife and children." If you are not guilty and your family is already on the open side, everyone should bear the consequences when they do something wrong.
"Think about being really hit, if you don't die, you will be injured, even if you don't have to pay money to see the injury, it's a pity that the current life is gone, how can you find such a good job in the future." A person is very angry when he points to people with different opinions, no matter how ruthless he is, he is cruel to others, he can be more important than his own life, and he must distinguish the time to sympathize with others.
The man's face was flushed, his head was lowered and he was silent, everyone's words made some sense, he took it for granted, and he had no face to see people.
"The river embankment is the hard work of all of us, let's work hard." For yourself and everyone's good days.
As soon as the matter came out, the connector in the dark heard the news and fled, for fear that the Wing King would thoroughly investigate his own life, and he was also a little minion who also took money to do things, but he didn't mean to fill his life, so he should run quickly, the farther away the better, and the rest of the silver was gone.
"People are dead." Unable to hear surprise or carelessness, the man's voice was calm as if nothing had happened.
"The master forgives the sin, and the slave is not in a good position." The people below replied in fear, "The master can rest assured that the tail has been broken, and the Wing King will not be able to find more." "I felt that I was doing it cleanly, and I felt that the Wing King was not so unbearable, and my heart was slightly relieved.
"It's a long time coming, let's go down." Didn't say anything else. The man stepped back, and the man silently tasted tea.
"Master, the one who joins has become an outcast. The wife and children of the dead man took the silver ticket and left in a hurry, so do you need to send someone to follow? Hongrui told the situation and asked the master to decide.
"No, you don't." The Xi Dynasty has no intention of harming the whole family, but it does not mean that it wants to protect the mother and son.
"It's a pity for that kid." Hongrui said that it was a pity, but the look on her face was not like that, as an outcast, even if she was a family member of an unrelated person, she couldn't escape a fate.
"There's nothing good in that family." Hong Ming, who entered the house, answered, "The reputation itself is not very good." Why sigh for such a person. ”
"It's just a joke." Hongrui grimaced at Hongming, "Doctor Xu Xiaotai recently went to Hualou again, isn't it a confidante who has fallen in love." This is terrible, if the door is not right, Imperial Doctor Xu must be angry. As soon as the topic changed, talking about Xu Mian's whereabouts for a few days, he couldn't help but ignite the heart of gossip.
"What do you mean to say about me?" Xu Mian, the main master, is back. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of voices in the house. I can't help but laugh.
"It is said that Doctor Xu Xiaojie met a beautiful girl, and she went to see her every day, and the silver she spent was like flowing water." Hongrui grabbed the main master and quipped, "The master doesn't know yet, you can tell me what's going on, everyone is good to work together." ”
Xu Mian was not displeased, sat down and drank half a cup of tea, and said: "Don't guess, the matter of talented and beautiful people will only appear in the script." In reality, most of the women from Qinglou are concubines, and they can't enter the courtyard of the political discipline. "I knew that a few people would think wildly.
"And what are you going to do in that kind of place?" As soon as the words came out, Hongrui instantly realized in her heart, "Oh." I know, men can't control it, they always have to find a chance to enjoy it. ”
Xu Mian's ears turned red when he was said, and he stole a glance at the old god who was there with a fake cough, and said in his heart, how can this kind of joke be messed up, isn't the Wing King still young.
"Stop." Hong Ming took the corner of his eyes and pulled the red rui, there was no one on his mouth, he dared to say anything, and he didn't look at the age of the master.
Hongrui consciously said the wrong thing, hurriedly covered her mouth, stared at the master with two big eyes, and was afraid that the master's age should have been married, but unfortunately the master's identity did not allow it, and no one dared to teach the master about men and women, and what he said just now was a bit out of line.
Xi Chao looked at Xu Mian, who was not embarrassed, with a smile, especially at a certain part, looking strange.
Xu Mian was quite uncomfortable when his scalp was numb by the Wing King, he had an urge to escape, his face was not more embarrassed than usual, he wanted to say something to change the topic, and inadvertently looked at the deep eyes of the Wing King, and suddenly made a bulge, and the words rolled back into his abdomen.
Xi Chao retracted his gaze, not teasing Xu Mian, he changed the topic and chatted a few words, Xu Mian couldn't stay any longer to find an excuse to slip away.
There was a loud laugh from Hongrui in the house, and Xu Mian, who didn't go far, almost tripped his left foot and fell on his right foot when he heard the sound, but fortunately, the center of gravity was stable, and he really wanted to fall into the mud and not be laughed at to death.
"That's enough!" Hong Ming glared at the lawless Hongrui, and became more and more unattractive.
Hongrui closed her mouth and immediately picked up the sound, her swaying body still couldn't stop laughing, it was so funny, Xu Xiaotai's expression couldn't help but laugh.
Xi Chao didn't blame Hong Rui's behavior, and laughed twice, the scene of Xu Mian running away was really interesting, and it wasn't a big deal, as for that kind of pitiful little expression.
With the unremitting efforts of everyone, the speed of the new construction of the river embankment has been greatly accelerated, and the Xichao is worried about accidents, and the people below are expected to pay more attention.
The night is hazy, the rich businessman Zhang He has been living a few days called a moisturizing, seeing that the construction period of the river embankment is about to end, but he has made a share of the money in it, and he is waiting to climb the big tree of the winged king, anyway, he has a good reputation, and then he has the common sense of the nobles, maybe he can get an imperial businessman, the Xu family is not also from this aspect, seize the opportunity to climb to the sky in one step, and drink a little wine happily, and return to the mansion leisurely, and go directly to the room of the beautiful concubine.
The beauty in Zhang He's heart, and the beautiful concubine turned the clouds and rain for a while, enjoying the service of the beautiful concubine's little hands physically and mentally, and humming unknown songs in his mouth from time to time.
"Master, is this a great event?" The beautiful concubine asked her doubts dibly, thinking in her heart if she had made a lot of money, so she could take advantage of the master's happiness to get such a small sum and save it all as her own private money.
Zhang He didn't care about listening to the concubine, he briefly talked about his own practices and the benefits he obtained, and more importantly, he saw the hope of becoming an imperial businessman.
When the concubine heard this, she chuckled in her heart and beat the drum, and she was going to say something to the master today. After listening to the old man's previous words, his heart suddenly became uneasy.
"Master, does that Wing King really have that much ability?" Today, it was rumored that the Wing King had killed someone, and the concubine was trembling and her heart was half cold.
"You don't understand that. The winged king has become more powerful since the border pass retreated from the enemy and made meritorious contributions, and this big Buddha must be grasped, and the glory and wealth in the future are just around the corner. Zhang He was happy to see his teeth and eyes, although the matter has not yet been completed, the matter is man-made, isn't it?
The concubine secretly said that it was broken, and it seemed that what she wanted to say was not done, but she took the money herself. How is this good for yourself? I was very scared and entangled, and I laughed absentmindedly a few times, but fortunately, the old man drank too much wine and didn't find out what was wrong. After a while, he fell asleep, and he breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about his own business.
That thing will never be done, the concubine is not a dull person, if the lord is valued by the king of wings. Even if you can't be promoted, the emperor will do it. Such a good day is waiting for him, why do you need to do such a yin division, dragging the master to involve himself.
After thinking about it, she couldn't do it for the sake of wealth in the future, and the concubine made up her mind to go to the man tomorrow to return the silver ticket, so she didn't have to do it.
The concubine has never considered the silver tickets given by others, which is so easy to return. The man didn't accept it, he just said that he would let the concubine do something secretly and not kill anyone. If she didn't agree, she would stab this matter in front of Zhang He, and the concubine was immediately frightened. Half-pushed and half-agreed, thinking that as long as no one died, it should be fine, so comforted himself.
One day after lunch, several craftsmen suddenly fell to the ground and shouted that their stomachs hurt, and most of them felt that they had eaten bad stomachs, so they hurriedly carried people to the doctor.
It doesn't matter if you have a diagnosis, two of those people have collapsed, the root cause is Croton, obviously someone deliberately drugged it, fortunately the treatment was timely, otherwise it would really be a human life, or the matter of being pulled to death could not end.
The people who heard the wind came to hear that their hearts were cold for no reason, and not long after they had just disposed of a villain, another one came out who was drugged, and people's hearts fluctuated in an instant, fortunately, it was croton if it was poison, wouldn't it be worse, who was so black-hearted and rotten to do this kind of thing.
"Master, there is a problem with the summer soup, and Hongming has already started to deal with it." Hongrui went back and forth for fear that the master would worry, "The rest of the people were seen by the doctor in batches, and no poisoning was found. As soon as the matter came out, the guards immediately asked about the situation, and they should take care of it, and they carried it out in an orderly manner, living up to the expectations of their masters.
"The same bunch?" Xi Chao rubbed the walnut and thought for a moment, "The technique is not like that, the one before intended to harm people's lives, and now this one seems to just want to cause chaos." ”
"I'm already investigating." Hongrui moves quickly, and no one who follows his master is not clever.
The rich merchant's mansion, the concubine was anxiously waiting, and she couldn't hold her head and called her personal nurse to go out to inquire about the situation.
"I found out that it was a woman who took advantage of the peasant woman who was cooking the soup to relieve the heat and put the croton in, and only that pot had a problem." Hongrui went and returned to the latest news, "The people have already sent someone to arrest them." ”
"Miss is not good, not good." The nurse who heard the news ran back home in a panic.
Only this sentence The concubine was so frightened that she stood up from the chair, and without waiting for the nurse to open her mouth to eagerly inquire about the situation, she suddenly rushed into the house with a team of men who looked like bad officials, took people and left, leaving the nurse who was dumbfounded and left her body.
The concubine was taken to everyone in a daze, there were no extra words, just by doing things, everyone knew that the woman who fell to the ground was the culprit of this incident, and she hated it and gritted her teeth.
"Isn't this the Zhang family's concubine Ma?" Some people are very surprised to recognize the identity of a woman, the Zhang family is a rich businessman, some are silver, and the concubine is Zhang He's favorite concubine, how can he do such a thankless thing, it's too strange.
"A woman's family, not enjoying wealth at home, what kind of business is the chin bean?" It doesn't make sense, how can a businessman, who has nothing to do with the construction of a dam, suddenly do something extremely incomprehensible.
"It can't be the wrong person, right?" No matter how you think about it, I can't think it's possible, but I have a good life, but doing this kind of immoral thing, it's not that my brain is so idle.
"How can the people of the Wing King catch the wrong one." Some people will not believe that they have caught this file wrong.
"The Zhang family is afraid that they will be unlucky because of this woman, and the Wing King will find out that there is no good fruit to eat." No one will sympathize with someone who does something bad.
"Who knows if the Zhang family knows." Guilt or innocence cannot be determined by words alone. I won't kill my head again! "With the first experience, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no second time, didn't the Wing King also say it, and then the same thing will happen.
