Chapter 244: Second Base
"Ah", the early morning of the Huang family was broken by a string of high-pitched screams.
"Murdered!"
A series of shouts quickly stirred up the entire Huang family, and by the time Huang Hongyi arrived at the courtyard wall with a few stewards, it was already for the maids on several floors inside and out.
Although they have all come through hard times, no one has ever seen so many bloody corpses in front of them.
"Master, it's Qi Meng", Huang Hongyi heard that the steward who came forward to check came back to report, and his eyes were immediately shocked.
"How did you die?"
"All of them died by slitting their throats, with a single stab, and there were no other scars on their bodies."
Huang Hongyi gasped, and yesterday's figure came to his mind.
Yesterday, he was still worried that the Liu family would retaliate, but he didn't expect the revenge to come so quickly.
was able to put the corpse into the Huang family unknowingly, and the power of the Liu family should not be underestimated.
I originally thought that the Liu family was a small family, and as long as I used a little means, I could clean it up, but now it seems that this matter has to be discussed in the long run.
But......
Huang Hongyi looked at the corpse on the ground, and the corners of his mouth relaxed, it seems that the Liu family doesn't dare to do too much.
"Master, are we going to report to the official now?" , The steward of the Huang family saw that Huang Hongyi was in deep thought, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
"What kind of officials do you report, everyone has provoked us, are you still afraid of these officials? Send someone to buy a few coffins and bury them directly. ”
The steward of the Huang family chuckled in his heart, it seemed that his master knew something, but he didn't dare to say much, and trotted all the way to arrange things.
Wu Demeng took a few people to keep an eye at the door of Huang's house all morning, and finally saw a group of family members sneaking around and pulling a few thin coffins and came back without moving.
Seeing that the Huang Mansion fell silent, Wu Demeng had no choice but to take someone back to report Liu Xi's life.
"Hehe", Liu Ximing listened to Wu Demeng's return, it is not surprising, it seems that Huang Hongyi has admitted it.
Liu Ximing sneered in his heart, and he remembered a famous saying, "Anyone has the right to start a war, but only the victor has the right to end the war." ”

"Line up, dare to cut in line, be careful with my whip."
Wang Xiaoshu glanced at the staff on duty who was yelling beside him, and took his tray and followed the crowd forward.
This is the rear of the inspection compound in Hexi Town, where the duty personnel transferred from Liujia Village have arranged a large tent to house the old and weak women and children captured from Bailongzhai.
Wang Xiaoshu is one of the captives, he is only 13 years old this year, although he was also forcibly recruited into the water bandit team after being caught in Bailongzhai, but because of his young age, coupled with malnutrition and poor development, he only did some miscellaneous things in the cottage.
It was precisely because of this that he escaped the catastrophe at the beginning of the month, and with the testimony of several villagers, he was finally removed from the bandit team and spared prison.
Wang Xiaoshu heard that the group of people who were imprisoned in the county government were either going to be beheaded or had to be forced into hard labor, so he didn't want to turn over in this life.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoshu couldn't help but be grateful to the young master of the Liu family, the big guy was supposed to be taken to the county for disposal, but the young master of the Liu family was kind and gave everyone a way to live.
After these days of contact, Wang Xiaoshu felt that the Liu family was different from ordinary squires and landlords, although the housekeeper who was responsible for maintaining order in the town also beat people, but they only took action because others did not follow the rules.
Normally, there is nothing to oppress the people, which makes Wang Xiaoshu, who is used to hearing the older generation tell about the evil things of those landlords, with a good impression.
Although the conditions in Hexi Town are average, they can be well fed and clothed, and now the Liu family only asks everyone to do some light work of cleaning and sewing, so people's hearts have slowly stabilized.
The captives, who had already fallen into despair, began to have a little hope for life, and heard that Liujia Village was a blessed land on earth.
The village is full of high-rise buildings, and the water in them comes at a moment's notice, and the road surface is smoother than that of Hexi Town.
All the work in the village is paid by the Liu family, and more importantly, I heard that all men and women of school age in the village can read and write.
At that time, when they heard the person on duty say this, the prisoners couldn't believe it, who would have thought that with more and more people coming from Liujia Village, these news would continue to be confirmed.
What's more, news came out from the inspection compound later, saying that the reason why the prisoners were placed in Hexi Town first was only because they were worried that there would be lawbreakers inside.
After all the verifications are completed, as long as the work performance is positive, honest and trustworthy, they can be arranged to live in Liujia Village in the future.
This is a terrible moment, the captives have unconsciously become more energetic, and everyone's mental outlook is getting better and better.
Wang Xiaoshu couldn't help but tighten the plate in his hand when he thought of this, he had to perform better, maybe he could be transferred to Liujia Village in the future.
In addition to the resettlement of prisoners, the integration of Liujia Village into Hexi Town has also been carried out smoothly.
With the majesty of the battle of Bailongzhai, the townspeople of Hexi Town can be regarded as knowing what kind of existence the inspection department has been by their side for several months.
Therefore, when Liujia Village sent people to negotiate the purchase of land around the town, several wealthy families in the town did not even dare to put a fart.
However, the Liu family's approach opened the eyes of the townspeople of Hexi Town, and they actually bought these hundreds of acres of land at the market price, which is really strange.
Everyone knows what kind of virtue the heroic squire is in this year, and everyone is a little confused by the operation of the Liu family.
However, seeing that they were even relocating these women and children, and the strict discipline of the Inspection Department in the past few months, the townspeople who had been a little fluctuating quickly settled down and continued to live here with peace of mind.
But the changes in the town are getting bigger and bigger day by day, not to mention the tents behind the compound of the Inspection Division.
Even in the town, there have been many craftsmen with rulers measuring everywhere recently.
Some bold people stepped forward to inquire, and it was said that the young master of the Liu family wanted to replan the entire Hexi Town, and all the houses would have to be rebuilt at that time.
"I'm a good girl, this Liu family is too generous."
In this way, some people with active minds immediately thought about it, according to the Liu family's style of acting, will they lose money when they demolish the house in the future?
In just ten days, someone in the town has quietly begun to buy the houses of the townspeople.
Fortunately, Yongkai found out quickly, and promptly convened all the staff of Hexi Town to hold a meeting, on the one hand, to announce the Liu family's complete control of Hexi Town, of course, nominally based on the Inspection Division.
On the other hand, the future plan of Hexi Town was announced to all the townspeople, and Liujiacun Commercial House will build a number of shops and inns and other business places in the town, striving to include the whole town's population in the governance system.
There were originally more than 15,000 people in Liujia Village, and although the pace of taking in displaced people has been greatly slowed down due to financial reasons, the number of people has still increased by 1,000.
After Liu Xi ordered the construction of Hexi Town as the second base, the administrative system of Liujia Village was quickly launched.
One or two administrative personnel are even more gearing up, and they all want to be transferred to Hexi Town.
No one is stupid, Liujiacun has Chen Yiding and Liu Xihe as supervisors, and they have to be pressed down to some extent when they do things.
But Hexi Town is a virgin land, not to mention the establishment here, and it is easier to make achievements.
It was the town of Hexi that soon ushered in its second wave of immigration, a total of 1,000 workshop workers who had worked in construction were relocated here, and the entire town of Hexi was instantly transformed into a large construction site.
According to Liu Ximing's plan, Hexi Town will be used as the export base of Liujia Village.
In the future, all the delivery of goods will be completed in Hexi Town, which can effectively avoid the leakage of Liujiacun's technology, and at the same time cover up the development of Liujiacun as much as possible.
So at the beginning, Hexi Town was built as a port city, as for the construction model, although Liu Ximing has not engaged in urban planning, but we have also played a lot of simulation business games.
After the planning, Hexi Town is like a C-shape, with a port and residential areas in the middle, and several forts have been added to the left and right sides to form a protective circle, and a city wall about two zhang high will be built on the edge of the city in the future.
The entire Hexi Town covers an area of about three square kilometers, which is comparable to the average small county town.
