76. The black hand behind the scenes
I've been thinking about a question, in officialdom, what is the source of this kind of mutual tilting between people?
Is it a benefit? To actually be able to get to where you are now, what you get is enough for a lifetime.
So is it an official position? Maybe, maybe not, because of the blow to A, it may not necessarily be B who benefits, and it is likely that he made a wedding dress for someone else.
So I think that the source of all this is the desire in the human heart, which is the original sin.
Buddhism says that people have seven emotions and six desires, and these seven emotions are joy, anger, worry, fear, love, hatred, and desire. In my opinion, this is the driving force behind all of a person's good or bad behavior.
As long as people live, there are seven emotions. If you want to make this disappear, there is only ...... Let him stop thinking.
It has been three days since Mo went to reconnoitre, and it is impossible for the construction of the Great Wall to be stopped because there is a problem.
On the afternoon of the third day, Mo suddenly found me and whispered a few words in my ear.
I didn't say anything, I didn't even have an expression, I just squinted and looked at the people who were working like ants below in the howling north wind. Secretly made up his mind. Ye Sizhong next to me glanced at me silently and did not speak. He knew that every time I put on that look, something was going to happen.
Today, too, is no exception.
When night fell, all the people returned to the camp and began to finish their meal. Today, I asked Qian Sili to instruct the baggage camp to increase the vegetables and meat for these people, and to add food and rest. There was jubilation in the camp, and some people even said that working here is better than eating at home, and they are willing to work here for the rest of their lives!
I smiled slightly, and told them that as long as they worked hard, the court would not regret treating everyone who could be loyal and do their best.
The camp is even more lively, their requirements are really not high, every day after work, it is enough to have food and vegetables, if there is occasional wine and meat, it is like the New Year. Rejoice, sing.
A half-year-old child named Xiang Youchen, who came with his parents to participate in the wage-labor of the construction of the Great Wall, although he was still young and only half of the labor, but he always tried his best to do what he could, and this child was lively and interesting, and his mouth was clever, which really added a lot of joy to the construction site.
However, because of the troublemakers behind them, these simple, kind, and hard-working people, they are always facing the danger of casualties, and heaven cannot tolerate it! Heaven is intolerable!
I smiled and looked at them with pleasure, but my heart grew colder and colder to the filthy people behind me.
When everything was quiet, I heard two rat chirps outside the window, and knowing that Mo had arrived, I went out through the window and quietly ran to the target with a few people who were already waiting at the top of the wall.
I was wearing a night suit, and for the convenience of my movement, I only carried the flying knife given to me by my master, and I formed a line formation with Mo and the Nine Ghosts and Zhengxiao, and ran silently on the eaves. Suddenly, Mo stopped and made a gesture.
I also stopped with the Nine Oni Masataka, and through the bright moonlight, I saw a dark shadow looking around, sneaky, into the house where we had placed the ropes.
I motioned to go down and see what he was going to do. The three of us jumped lightly down the wall, barely making a sound.
I always kept the high speed of the cold crystal recipe, and the energy in my body was like a turbulent ice flowing, and the more ice the energy, the hotter my body became, making me feel that the cold wind that was already difficult seemed to become warm. Transporting the ape degree again, such jumping up and down is really like walking on the ground.
The cat leaned over and approached the window to ensure that the shadow would not enter the house through the paper window or by the moonlight. I motioned for them both to follow me around to the northwest side of the house, where the moonlight did not shine, and there would be no shadow in the window!
The three of us were still in a line, and after the cat walked around quickly, I dipped my fingers in the spittle and gently poked a hole in the window paper! As for the Nine Ghosts Masataka and Mo, this business is even more familiar than me, and I don't know where to go, so I don't need to teach at all.
I leaned my face close to the hole, squinted my left eye, and looked with my right eye at what was going on insideβthe rubbed the fire and lit a small candle, stuck it in the candlestick, and held it in my hand. Silently, he walked forward until he reached the place where the ropes were stacked together.
He crouched down, put down the candlestick, pulled out from behind him something that looked like a knife and a saw, pulled a rope, and pulled it out a few times, about a third of the way down! Back and forth! Back and forth! It's like sawing wood, trying to cut through it!
He saws very skillfully, and he should make sure that the rope does not break. After about five minutes, it seemed that he had finished his work on the rope, holding the broken rope in front of his eyes, and looking closely at the candle flame.
After looking at it for a while, he seemed to nod, then put down the rope, took out a bottle from the burden behind him, poured something on the broken part of the rope, as if it was a black liquid, and then rubbed the semi-solid liquid at the broken point with his hand.
After a long time, Fang was very satisfied with the rope put down, threw it back to its original position, and set it up.
I looked at it by candlelight, and the color of the liquid was almost the same as the black rope, and after he dealt with it like this, if the foreman didn't pull and check it carefully tomorrow, it was estimated that there was no problem with the rope at all!
It seems that they have noticed what I am doing to the foreman, and that I am scrutinizing every rope. In order to cope with the inspection, they have come up with new ways to fight us!
How many times did the nine ghosts Zhengxiao and Mo give me a look, meaning that they couldn't do it? I shook my head, today I want to see what he wants to do and what he can do!
The figure finished the hands and feet of the ropes, and stuffed the four ropes into the tools of the two teams. In this way, two of the four ropes tied to a long stone have problems, and as long as one is broken, it will cause a chain reaction, and there is no need to make all four problems at all!
How vicious the intentions!
The shadow quietly extinguished the candle. He put the remaining half of the candle back in his arms, sneaked to the door, listened to the sound of breathing and the soft sound of the door, and he put his ear to the door and listened for a while.
Of course, the three of us will not be discovered by him, this amateur level, tsk. So he gently opened the door of the storeroom, walked out lightly, looked left and right, and gently closed the door and locked it.
The shadow had been in the darkness for a while, and two patrolling guards crossed in front of him, and there seemed to be a soft bird's cry outside the backyard wall, and the shadow began to trot towards the wall.
It seems that he still has accomplices! The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and Mo glanced at me again, and I made a gesture, meaning to follow them closely and not to startle the snake.
The black shadow ran to the wall, and a rope was thrown off the wall, and the black shadow climbed the rope, and its body was perpendicular to the wall, and the two * walked upwards in place! Looking at his skills, he can be regarded as a practitioner, but that's it.
The black shadow went up to the wall, and together with another black shadow that appeared on the wall, gently pulled back the rope, and the two of them turned over and jumped off the wall. And they didn't even notice the three of us who had been lurking around them, quietly watching and following them closely.
The two black shadows carried a small burden on their backs and walked briskly in front. The three of us followed them quietly, like shadows, and followed them through the woods in front of the barracks, watching them enter a private house not far from the Badaling Pass City, halfway up the mountainside.
Sneaking up, we leaned closer to the window again to hear what the two guys had to say.
I only heard a soft sound and a clang, and it was estimated that the two people were unloading the tools on their bodies, or changing their clothes.
When they reached a safe place, they no longer remained silent, and only heard a rough male voice say: "Li Youhuan, your method is so good!" I took this black putty and wiped it on the rope, and I couldn't see the broken hole at all! β
Another voice that was extremely ugly, as if the night owl was calling, said: "That's, otherwise it's the soldier!" β
At this time, I heard a relatively soft, obviously proud voice say: "This kind of trivial matter is not enough to worry about!" Remember, both of you, these words that have been said here, go out and rot in my stomach! If you let Master Wu hear a hint of wind...... Think of the heads of your whole family! β
Two ugly voices hurriedly resigned.
Master Wu? I think about it carefully, in the current DPRK, only Wu Yihuang, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, is this surname, and the one who was called Li Youhuan just now is also Lang Zhong of the Ministry of War.
At this time, I only heard the ugly voice and asked, "Brother Li!" Isn't the person who built the Great Wall also a member of your military department? Aren't you lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot? Why don't I understand? β
The rough voice laughed a few times, seemed to pat the shoulder of the person who spoke just now, and said with a smile: "If you can figure it out with your pig brain, then you won't be the champion earlier?" Although I don't know much about it, I know that Brother Li's arrangement must make sense. We have money to take, and we ask what we are doing with so much? β
The soft voice seemed to be satisfied with the rhetoric, and smiled: "Count you as acquaintances!" You just need to know that we are doing things for Master Zhang! Don't go out on a business trip, or you'll ...... Hum! β
The two voices were resigned.
Lord Zhang? Although there are countless officials surnamed Zhang in the DPRK, I can be sure that there will be only one person who will make a move at such a time, and it will be so vicious - Zhang Siwei, a scholar of the Zhongji Temple, Zhang Juzheng's sworn enemy, and the next first assistant in history!
Sure enough, there are wronged and debtors, and under all these various appearances, in the final analysis, it is still a cruel political struggle!
I secretly made up my mind that even if it wasn't now, one day I would have to pay the price for Zhang Siwei!
Speaking kung fu, the two of them seem to have cleaned up their homes. The ugly voice said: "Brother Li, then the two of us will go back first!" If it is seen at dawn, it is not beautiful! β
Li Youhuan's voice said: "Walk carefully!" Don't go wrong! And don't forget what I said! β
The two happily said "hey"! I heard two consecutive slight metal sounds - it should be Li Youhuan who threw a money bag to each of them. The two of them walked to the door with great gratitude, opened the door, turned around and said goodbye, and walked quickly into the night.
Li Youhuan didn't go out, but waited, and when he heard the two of them walking away, Fang said with a smile to himself: "You know too much, don't blame me!" Is Lord Zhang's money so easy to collect? β
After speaking, I gently knocked on the table or stool with two "tuk tuks"! I heard a "hula" sound, and I hurriedly looked in through the punctured window paper, only to see that the pavement on the earthen kang had been lifted, and two people came out of it, both wearing night clothes! Judging by the skill, it is considered agile, at least above the two just now!
The two of them were holding short knives in their hands, covering their faces, and they looked fierce, looking like they were here to clean up the battlefield!
Yo he! I also met my peers!
Li Youhuan waved in the direction where the two of them left just now, the two nodded, ran out of the house quickly one after the other, and chased murderously in the direction of the two just now!
I hurriedly made gestures, signaling the Nine Ghosts Masataka and Mo to follow these two people and act at the right time. And myself, I am still staring at Li Youhuan who is still in the house!
No matter how cunning the fox is, sooner or later it will show its tail!
Wait! Look at how justice is pronounced!
Of course, I am referring to my righteousness!
