Although the past half a month has passed extremely quickly, it has been quite torturous for Yang Zhen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He took a boat every day and walked around outside the Fengshan Water Gate, staring at the big tree blocking the road in a daze from time to time, thinking about where to start and eradicate it. During this period of time, Yang Zhen even had a strange feeling that this tree made him feel tricky more than Feng Bao.

Under the existing conditions, it is indeed a bit difficult to uproot such a large tree that has taken root deep into the mud several feet below the surface of the water. Whether it is felling, or cutting roots, it is obviously unrealistic. But apart from these two starting points, Yang Zhen really couldn't find another way.

After struggling like this for more than ten days, Yang Zhen himself thought of giving up - it was a big deal to find an opportunity to steal Luo Yueying out and bring her back to the capital to get married. As long as the raw rice is cooked rice, are you still afraid that Luo Chengzhang, the old man, will not recognize him as a son-in-law?

Although he did have such an idea of escaping, Yang Zhen still refused to admit defeat when there was still a lot of time. And in his mind, he has already conceived many impractical ways to remove trees, such as constantly hitting the tree with a boat, so that its roots are shaken; Another example is to get some medicine that can cause trees to wither......

Of course, these whimsical ideas can only exist in his fantasies, and he knows that none of them are the right way to get rid of trees: "Maybe it's better to start from the bottom than the other way?" Below? Or is it above? Thinking about it, Yang Zhen's eyes looked a little confused.

Suddenly, a crazy thought flashed out of Yang Zhen's mind. Although this method was a bit strange, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that perhaps this was the most feasible method at the moment. The more he thought about it, the more feasible this method was, so he slapped his hand on his thigh and made a decision: "Someone ...... come."

In only half a day's work, Yang Zhen had already figured out a way to remove the trees in the river, and the matter that he would put it into action the next day, that is, the morning of April 28, was already known to everyone in Hangzhou.

To be honest, even ordinary people are very dissatisfied with this big tree blocking the road on the important waterway, and just want someone to eliminate the harm for the people. Now Yang Zhen suddenly spread the word with great fanfare, which naturally attracted the attention of the whole city, and on the 28th, it was only dawning, and there was already a sea of people outside the Fengshan Gate, and the rich and noble people even prepared a few pleasure boats and painted boats, and came to the roadblock tree, waiting to see how Yang Zhen would implement his tree removal plan.

At the same time, this incident also alarmed the Hangzhou government, and even the prefect also sent people from the yamen to see what was going on. In fact, if it weren't for Yang Zhen's identity here, it would still be unknown whether this thing could be done.

After the sky was bright, several big ships with the unique signs of the Cao Gang slowly came out of the Fengshan Water Gate, and on the first big boat, Yang Zhen and several craftsmen stood intently, and Yang Zhen, who was firm and calm in his eyes, also whispered to the people beside him: "Don't panic, haven't we discussed this matter, it is very likely that this tree will be removed." Think about it, you have made great contributions to the city of Hangzhou, and you can leave a strong mark on the government in the future. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's words, the craftsmen's faces looked a little better. However, when he saw the endless crowd watching the lively crowd on the water and shore around him, he was still a little nervous: "Lord Yang, if this thing can't be done this time, what can I do......

"It must be done, and it will be done!" Yang Zhen's eyes were shining, and he said without hesitation.

"That's it, there is no reason why my second brother can't do things, you just have to let go of your hands and feet and do what he wants!" Cai Yingyang next to him also solemnly agreed. Subsequently, several other brothers of Jinyiwei also supported Yang Zhen in unison, and their tones were extremely firm. They are not only because of their own identity, but also because they know how high Yang Zhen's ability is, so they support Yang Zhen so much.

But among the people in the Cao gang who followed them behind the ship, they didn't have so much confidence. It was Luo Chengzhang, who was also frowning at the moment: "Why did you make such a big battle today?" This kid is too flamboyant. If this matter is done, if it fails, not only will he lose face, but even our Cao Gang will have to lose face...... At this moment, the Luo gang leader really regretted that he had embarrassed Yang Zhen with such a problem.

"Miss, is Yang Gongzi really sure to get rid of this tree?" On the other painting boat, the little maid Lanqin stared nervously at everything around her, and her little hand couldn't help but grab Luo Yueying's wrist and asked in a low voice.

"I have faith in Erlang, he will definitely be able to!" Luo Yueying's face was also a little pale, but the words that came out of her mouth seemed very sure and powerful, which was not only to her sisters, but also to herself.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes around, the boat that Yang Zhen and the others were riding on stopped steadily on the water only a few feet away from the big tree, and then the boatman threw down the huge iron anchor, so that the ship completely stopped in this position. Only the first-rate master of the Cao gang can park the boat so well, close to the target, and not collide with the tree.

However, the people around them didn't bother to pay attention to these details, and everyone watched intently to see what the next performance of those people on the ship would be, and what means they could use to get rid of this scourge.

When several craftsmen took out huge axes and saws from the cabin, came to the tree, and cut down the tree with these sharp tools, everyone was stunned, and then someone exclaimed: "Are you crazy? Cutting off the trunks of trees on the water won't solve the problem at all, it will only make the danger even greater! ”

Under the explanation of some people who understand the matter, the surrounding people also understood the key point, and they also shouted in shock. But by this time, their shouting had no effect, and the craftsmen would not listen to them.

When Luo Chengzhang saw this scene, his mood became even more apprehensive and nervous. He knew that Yang Zhen would definitely have a backhand. However, he didn't know if Yang Zhen could really get rid of the tree. If his next plan doesn't work, the waterway here really won't be able to get through the boat.

On the other side, the people in the government were also stunned. Several times he wanted to come forward to forcibly stop this ridiculous behavior, but Yang Zhenjin's identity as a guard was there, so he really couldn't muster up the courage to give this order, so he could only say ruthlessly: "If you mess up the matter for me, you Yang Zhenfu and we don't dare to offend, but the Cao Gang will definitely not be good!" ”

Under the uneasy and surprised gaze of everyone, the tree, which had been able to thrive even in such an environment, was finally cut down by an axe saw.

"Whoa-" The nearly tall trunk of the tree fell from the sky and landed on the water, splashing a splash. But Yang Zhen, who was splashed by this water, didn't even frown, just put his mind on the four or five feet high wooden stake in front of him.

Yes, after the tree was cut down, there was such a stump left on the water. However, it is very thick, and it looks about the same size as the table used by ordinary people at home.

Several craftsmen all looked at Yang Zhen, waiting for his orders. The latter, after taking a deep breath, nodded vigorously: "Do as I want, but you have to take care of your own safety." ”

Several craftsmen also knew at this time that there was no way out, and after cutting down the tree, the only thing they could do was to get rid of this scourge completely. Either become a hero in Hangzhou City, or become a sinner!

After nodding at Yang Zhen, two craftsmen who were good at hoopping buckets approached first, picked up familiar tools, and quickly raised them around the stump.

"What are they doing here?" Many people asked similar questions with a confused face, but no one could give an answer.

For more than an hour, when the sun was already in the middle of the day, the stump had been raised several feet by two coopers, and from a distance it looked like a large water tank standing on the water.

Seeing that the height was almost high, Yang Zhen shouted to stop. Then he bowed his hand to several other craftsmen around him: "I'm tired of a few people." ”

Those people solemnly saluted Yang Zhen back, and then left the boat with axes and other tools and climbed into the deep "tank".

Then, the people on the shore couldn't see what was going on inside. Only a few boats near the tree saw what was going on—but they saw some craftsmen standing on the stump, digging the wood from the trunk with their tools, just like a farmer digging the ground.

Time passed little by little, and after another two hours, the craftsmen on the stump had dug extremely deep, and even as far as Yang Zhen could see, they had dug below the surface of the water. But because there was still the surface of the tree trunk around them, and the wooden edge support left by the cooper just now, they were not afraid of water entering their position.

At the same time, on the big ship of the Cao Gang not far away, Luo Chengzhang's hanging heart had gradually let go back. There was also a smile of surprise and admiration on his face: "This kid really has a hand." I came up with such an ingenious and unexpected idea. It seems that the problems that have plagued us for many years are finally going to be completely solved today. ”

Although this kind of waiting is quite boring and boring, neither the people on the ship nor on the shore have any intention of leaving. Everyone is expecting a miracle to happen......

It wasn't until the sun was in the west, and it was nearly dusk, that a very tired greeting came from inside the stump: "My lord, it's almost ......."

Yang Zhen called the Cao Gang beside him to operate the boat, and after letting him estimate it, he nodded and said, "Pick up a few masters." I'll leave the rest to my father-in-law! ”
