In fact, Cheng Biting Jin's character is good, but he is a little cheap, and under everyone's peace, Pei Renji also agreed to this family business.

As for Pei Cuiyun, after this period of getting along, he has already developed a good impression of Cheng Yanjin.

Hearing my father and mother mention the marriage, I also agreed shyly.

Just when Wagang was holding a wedding, Yuwen Chengdu, who had not shown up, also took refuge in Li Zitong, the king of Fengming.

This Li Zitong was also born in a poor family, but he did not steal or rob, he lived by fishing and hunting, and sometimes even helped the same poor people.

Such a person has a very great personality charm.

After his uprising, many people enthusiastically supported him, and a powerful force was formed in a short time.

After getting the three fierce generals of Yuwen Chengdu, Wu Yunzhao, and Wu Tianxi, he quickly expanded his power, led his troops to cross the Huaishui River in the south, and united with Du Fuwei in Jiangdu.

Subsequently, Li Zitong occupied Hailing, proclaimed himself the king of Chu, and appointed Le Botong as the left servant, Li Baiyao as the internal history servant, and Yin Qian as Taichangqing.

When the news reached Luoyang, Yang Guangda was furious and sent Qiu Rui and his son to lead 100,000 troops to suppress the thieves.

In Runan, Liu Wen did not show up every day, which also made Ma Shumou suspicious.

It is said that the Wagang thieves have a relationship with the King of Song that cannot be pushed away, could it be that this time Pei Renji conquered Wagang, and the King of Song also went? Otherwise, with Pei Yuanqing's ability, who else can defeat him? ’

With this idea, Ma Shumou began to try, but every time Zhou Qing blocked back.

He couldn't help but become more and more suspicious.

On this day, he found a reason to come to Liu Wen's line again to tempt.

"General Zhou, something big happened this time, you can't stop me!"

"If something happens, you're going to find a way. Didn't King Song say it, he is only responsible for supervising, and digging the canal is your business. If there is a problem, you can solve it, and if you can't solve the problem, you have to solve that problem yourself. If you really have no problem, then the king of Song will exercise his power of supervision and be the first to ask you Uncle Ma for the crime! ”

"It's not...... General Zhou ......"

Ma Shumou's face was full of bitterness: "This time it's different, this time there is a boulder in the mud, and those people really can't move it......"

"What do you mean?!" Zhou Qing glared at him and said, "You mean, let the dignified Song King Chitose go to the mud to move stones for your Uncle Ma!" ”

As soon as he said this, the group of soldiers outside the line immediately looked at him with unkind eyes.

"No, it's not ......"

Uncle Ma waved his hand again and again: "That's not what the last general meant, the last general ...... Ah! General Zhou, you can do it, let me report to King Song. ”

"No, King Song said, no one can disturb you."

"Zhou Qing!"

Ma Shumou suddenly turned his face: "I am the governor of Kaihe appointed by the emperor, an official of the imperial court, even if I enter the palace to face the saint, the guards in the palace must report immediately, you are just a small general, why stop me!" ”

"This is the dictation of the king of Song......"

"Is King Song bigger than the emperor!"

"Yay, boy, you're excited with me, aren't you?" When Zhou Qing saw him like this, he also lost his temper.

"You are a small general, you dare to snub the court officials, today I will let you see the ability of the governor of the capital!" After Uncle Ma finished speaking, he punched and hit.

He knew that Zhou Qing was Liu Wen's close minister, and he didn't dare to move him.

Zhou Qing was originally good at martial arts, and with the blessing of the Yellow Turban Lux Card, his skills were far better than in the past.

Uncle Ma's kung fu of the three-legged cat was not enough to see in front of him, and he was beaten fat, and Uncle Ma was beaten and shouted again and again.

"Zhou Qing, let go of me! You dare to beat the officials of the imperial court, don't you want to die! ”

A few of his entourage soldiers hurried forward.

The men who were outside the line immediately surrounded them.

Seeing that something was about to happen, Liu Wen's somewhat angry voice came out of the line.

"Enough!"

Hearing this voice, Zhou Qing stopped, and Ma Shumou didn't dare to scream.

raised his head and took a look, only to see a woman beside Liu Wen, although she was wearing a veil and couldn't see her face clearly, her eyes were extremely charming.

This woman is Pei Cuiying, and Luo Xian'er has returned to Huayin.

When Ma Shumou saw her, his face couldn't help but change.

Scream: Oops! King Song hasn't shown up in the past few days, it turns out that he is a golden house treasurer! I'm afraid that my good deeds that broke him will be very inappropriate.

Without waiting for him to speak, Liu Wen said: "Let's go, go to the construction site and have a look." ”

Ma Shumou's face changed again.

The reasons just now were all made up by him, and at this moment, in the mud, where is there any big stone?

He has a clever subordinate who is quietly preparing to slip away, and goes to arrange the arrangements first.

"Stop!" Several gatekeepers shouted: "What are you going to do!" ”

Immediately, everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

Liu Wen frowned, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Chitose, he sneakily wanted to slip away just now."

"Let's go?" Liu Wen snorted: "What do you think of me as a place?" Come as you want or leave as you want? ”

Ma Shumou was about to cry after hearing this.

He understood that Liu Wen's words were punns, but he was actually saying it to himself.

I have no choice but to pretend to be stupid and remedy it later.

In any case, he is a court official appointed by the emperor, and he can't do anything with himself.

……

For such a long time, Liu Wen came to the construction site of the canal for the first time.

It is said that it is digging a canal, but in fact, it is just dredging the river that was dug before.

Otherwise, the national strength of this Sui Dynasty alone is not enough to dig out a large passage through the north and south.

However, even the dredging work is not simple.

In this era, there were no cars or excavators, and the silt in the river had to be dug up manually before being picked out.

I saw that these people were one foot deep and one foot shallow, and they all walked slowly, and their bodies were already covered with mud, and they couldn't distinguish between men and women.

It's past the middle of winter, but it's still very cold.

These people look hot and dry, but in fact, they are all fighting hard, plus the living treatment is not good, out of ten people, it would be good if two or three could survive.

What's even more hateful is that Uncle Ma still feels slow like this, and even lets people hold whips and keep pumping like animals.

Liu Wen's face was gloomy.

Ma Shumou was also very worried in his heart.

"What about the boulder?"

"This, this ......" Ma Shumou could only open his eyes and make up nonsense: "Chitose, it may be that these people have moved away." ”

"Oh, moved away, yes, yes."

"Thank you Chitose for the compliment." Uncle Ma said with a smile.

"Fart!" Liu Wen suddenly shouted: "Where did you move?" Why don't I see a single boulder as far as I look? The boulder that I needed to be informed to move was suddenly gone! ”
