Throughout the night, Wen Qing tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, waking up several times on and off, which had not happened for many years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wen Qing was so worried that even the two maids, Ruyi and Jixiang, were silent all night. finally survived until dawn, Wen Qing took the excuse to break up the two maids and began to pack up the things she had with her.

Qu Xiaojia was already ready according to Wen Qing's instructions, he had some doubts in his heart, and the words of inquiry came to his lips, but seeing his sister's gloomy face, Qu Xiaojia took it back with a smile.

Qu Xiaoyi begged Qu Xiaojia to go to the yamen to squat, and as long as there was news, he would tell his family immediately. Therefore, early in the morning, Qu Xiaojia hurriedly grabbed a few mouthfuls of rice and rushed to the yamen.

There were many people gathered near the yamen, and some businessmen from the eastern and western cities had already received the news and sent people to investigate. Today's situation is different from the past, in addition to the officials, there are many soldiers in front of the square to maintain order, and the atmosphere is a little more solemn than in the past.

The Ming soldiers did not seem to be accustomed to the way the servants worked, and after standing for a short time, they began to whisper to each other.

Qu Xiaojia found a sunny place and squatted down, looking around from time to time while waiting.

Not long after, a prisoner van came and escorted some prisoners into the yamen. Today's trial is closed to the public, and no one is allowed to enter.

Qu Xiaojia originally wanted to sneak in when the prisoner car entered. But he was stared at fiercely by the guards at the door, and Qu Xiaojia had no choice but to walk aside and continue to wait. Before going out, Wen Qing gave Qu Xiaojia a piece of silver and asked him to act cheaply, but Qu Xiaojia was a little flustered at this time, and he forgot all about Wen Qing's instructions.

After waiting for more than an hour, Qu Xiaojia seemed to hear crying in the yamen, Qu Xiaojia was a little worried, could it be that something happened to Young Master Shen?

Qu Xiaojiadong stood up and looked inside, but couldn't see anything.

The official at the door had long been tired of looking at this restless bun, and at this time, he saw Qu Xiaojia looking inside in a daze, so he sneered: "What do you see, is this the place where you poor ghost came?" If you don't leave, I'll let people drive you away. ”

Qu Xiaojia has always been honest, and when he saw that this official didn't want to see him, he walked aside without saying a word and waited.

"Poor ghost, get out of here, this is not where you came."

Qu Xiaojia was originally a little afraid of dealing with the yamen, but he remembered what Xiao Yi told him, so he raised his head, although he was a little panicked in his heart, he still stared at the yamen at the door and no longer backed down. Although Qu Xiaojia is honest, he is not stupid, he knows that this official is looking for fault.

The official is obviously a well-informed person, he is not afraid of the threat of Tu Baozi's eyes, and by the way, he also shook out a cruel sentence: "Poor ghost, if you look at me like this again, believe it or not, I gouged out your eyeballs." ”

The official spoke loudly, and the people around him were bored waiting, but when they saw that there was a bustle to see, they gathered around them in an uproar.

Qu Xiaojia followed Shen Jia for a few days, and he also gained a little knowledge, knowing that this official was just a watchdog, and he couldn't be too polite to him. After figuring this out, Qu Xiaojia's eyes began to burn, and anger burned in his chest.

"Yo, poor ghost, why don't you get out of the way, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up."

The official picked up the hilt of the knife and suddenly smashed it into Qu Xiaojia's head.

The crowd exclaimed in unison, and seeing that the handle of the knife was about to hit the poor boy in front of them, some people couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and even closed their eyes.

Just when everyone was worried about the poor boy, Qu Xiaojia's body shook, and he took out a silver ingot in his right hand, and smashed it on the head of the official with a bang, and the blood immediately flowed down.

"Holy shit, you dare to go against the government, brothers, come on, there are bandits making trouble! Catch him and the court will be rewarded! ”

When the surrounding Ming troops heard the sound, they immediately surrounded them. The Ming army scattered in formation and was about to capture and kill the traitor in front of them, when suddenly an angry roar came from the yamen: "Stop it!" ”

The clever Ming Jun looked up and saw that it was General He, so he hurriedly grabbed his eager companion next to him and didn't move.

"Xiao Jia, you go and give this bastard another twenty slaps, don't hit it with your hands, it hurts too much, you can use this bastard's scabbard to whip hard."

Qu Xiaojia had already seen Shen Jia standing next to He Shixian, and when he heard Shen Jia's order, he began to roll up his sleeves without saying a word.

The official was an old fritter, and at a glance he could see the two unusual people at the entrance of the ya, as well as the three chief officials standing behind them.

When the official heard that he was going to let this poor boy beat himself, he immediately cried with tears in his eyes: "The adults spare their lives, the little ones should die, the little ones should die, please spare the lives of the adults!" ”

Shen Jia's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, the official howled and wept as he unhooked his scabbard.

Qu Xiaojia is a sincere person and never compromises his work, so in front of hundreds of people at the entrance of the yamen, he slammed the twenty scabbards of the yamen. In the end, there were no more tears left in the officer's crying, his face was huddled together, swollen like a pig's head, and his eyes could barely be seen.

Shen Jia arched his hand to He Shixian and said, "Uncle He, thank you for your help today!" ”

Without waiting for He Shixian to answer, Shen Jia looked back at Yuan Yingtai, Yang Lian, and Xiong Tingbi standing in the yamen, and said coldly: "This is the person you want to be compassionate, when the fall was beautiful, the scenery was a servant for the Tartars, and after the recovery, he turned into a man who continued to bully the weak, fish and flesh people, since you like it so much, I will leave it to you to deal with." ”

Shen Jia called Qu Xiaoyi, and left without looking back from the passage where everyone got out of the way.

The aura of pretending to be 13 is really incomparable, which makes Shen Jia enjoy it very much, especially in front of the three court officials. Shen Jia pondered whether the Donglin Party members back then were also so ashamed to bombard Wanli.

Shen Jia, who rushed home, saw Wen Qing and Qu Xiaoyi, and told the two beauties about his "heroic deeds" with a smile.

It seemed that Wen Qing's face was not good, and Shen Jia asked cautiously, "Senior sister, what do you have to say?" ”

Wen Qing suddenly pounced, and the pink fist immediately beckoned to Shen Jia, and said while fighting: "Beat you to death, you stinky and shameless, I didn't sleep well all night, you still brag to me, you blow, I don't believe you can blow up the house." ”

Shen Jia was shocked, and ran around the yard with his legs, squeezing his eyebrows at Qu Xiaoyi as he ran, asking the reason.

Qu Xiaoyi looked shy, looked at Shen Jia with a red face and laughed in a low voice.

After making trouble for a while, Wen Qing, who was tired of playing, finally lay on the chair and stopped chasing, and Qu Xiaoyi told Shen Jia what happened in the camp yesterday afternoon.

Shen Jia was extremely thick-skinned, and after listening to it, he smiled, and Wen Qing, who was angry, scolded again.

*********

The merchants in the east and west cities of Fushun City did not wait for the news of the person in charge conferring the head, but first saw several unscrupulous merchants being beheaded, and their families being distributed thousands of miles.

The sudden bad news made everyone feel a little uneasy, and some people who reacted quickly have even begun to sell their property.

However, in the afternoon, the government released the latest announcement that the eastern and western cities would reopen in five days, which made the merchants of Fushun City sulk.

In the evening, there was even more exciting gossip that it was said that Shen Jia, the person in charge of the eastern and western cities, coveted the beautiful concubine of the wealthy businessman Gu Hongxi, and did not hesitate to use the power of the government to attack Gu Hongxi, and forcibly robbed the beautiful concubine to the mansion.

For a while, there was an uproar in Fushun City, first of all, the government came forward to refute the rumors, saying that this matter was unwarranted and could not be trusted.

In the teahouse in Beicheng, Fushun, an old man scolded: "What is not to be believed, that is, there is still a real thing, it is really not as good as a beast." ”

Everyone next to him nodded yes.

Ruyi, who came back from outside, also heard the rumors, and she was looking at Shen Jia nervously at this time, while stammering about the rumors she heard.

"This is slander, this is rumor-mongering, I want to settle accounts with these grandchildren!" Shen Jia was furious and paced back and forth in the house.

"Who are you talking to to settle accounts? Do you know who got it? Wen Qing looked disdainful and mercilessly uncovered the scars.

Shen Jia touched his nose and said, "Do you want me to be a turtle?" I don't want to. ”

"Fushun Silver Spear Little Overlord, this is a rumor I just heard, yes, now it is said that you have included other people's daughters in the house, and the family of three is happy." Wen Qing looked at Shen Jia with a smile and said.

Shen Jia's nose was about to be crooked, and he begged his senior sister with a bitter face not to say anything more.

Shen Jia didn't want to hear the rumors that were getting more and more fragrant, but the people in Fushun City were happy, and even the whole city was boiling.

The rumors are vulgar, Shen Jia is shameless, if in other places in the Guannai, there are already people who read books and strive to read. But Fushun is different, since the occupation of Fushun by the Tartars, a large number of scholars have also been forced to flee to Liaoshen and Shenzhou, although some people are angry, but no one petitions.

The Tatars have long implemented a high-pressure terrorist policy in Fushun, which has made there very few entertainment activities in Fushun City, and suddenly released such a hot topic, which instantly became a hot topic on the lips of the whole city.

Shen Jia could only sigh at home, he had just escaped today, and he had sarcastically mocked the three officials, and the two bodyguards were also nowhere to be found, and if he wanted to start investigating the rumors, he really had no way to start. The best thing for him to do at the moment is to sleep and stop paying attention to the rumors.

I slept all night and was in a good mood. However, Wen Qing came over and told him that the current rumor has become that Shen Jia worked day and night under the service of the two daughters, and his tired legs could not stand, so he could only shrink at home to rest.

For a moment, Shen Jia had an urge to smoke people, but looking at Wen Qing in front of him, it seemed that he would not let himself be treated like this, so he had to give up.

Shen Jia stood near the window in a daze, looking ahead in distraction, and was silent for a while.

After a long time, Wen Qing walked over, gave Shen Jia a hug gently, and said with relief: "Okay, don't think about it so much, for the sake of me giving you a hug, think about other things, don't lose your sense of proportion for this kind of thing, I don't want to lose my life for such an inexplicable reason." ”

Smelling Wen Qing's body fragrance, and hearing Wen Qing's soft words for the first time, Shen Jia was suddenly a little moved, senior sister is senior sister after all, and she will always stand on her side.

Rumors are still flying all over the sky, and no one cares about the Fushun government coming forward to refute the rumors, and more people are paying attention to the fragrant rumors.

After Shen Jia regained his mind, he no longer cared about this matter, but focused more on the test of cement samples

The cement sample was tested well, achieving the expected hardness and adhesion. Shen Jia told Wang Erhu that he needed to expand the scale of cement production and that he needed to build at least ten cement calcining kilns. When the cement kiln is completed and accepted, Wang Erhu and a group of craftsmen will be officially employed.

Shen Jia gave them a variety of choices, such as choosing two taels of silver every month, or one tael of silver plus 1.5 stone rice, or three stone rice. Grain was a hard currency outside the war, so most people chose one tael of silver plus 1.5 stone rice.

Although this level of wages is very low compared to those in Kannai, it is still absolutely attractive compared to the poor people who have been displaced outside Kansai.

Shen Jia originally had two thousand taels of silver tickets by Wang Fatzi's side, and the day before yesterday, Wang Fatzi sent someone to send another nine thousand taels of silver tickets, which was obtained after selling three mirrors in Shenyang according to the previous discussion. Shen Jia has always lacked a sense of the overall situation of money, and felt that with so much silver in hand, there should be no problem in using it for half a year.

Grain can be picked up from the warehouses captured by the Ming army, and in the future, it is planned to use cement to repair the city wall and build part of the fortress, and these expenses will be paid for with the grain of Fushun City.

Whether it is Chen Ce or He Shixian, as long as they hear that they are begging for food, they will give them approval without asking, and this style once made Shen Jia ecstatic.

However, when Shen Jia saw the steady stream of food from Liao and Shen, he felt that these old foxes had fallen for it. Although the people in the city are short of food, they will definitely not be able to defend the Ming army in Fushun in the future, and they are already working on food reserves.

In this case, Shen Jia simply used the name of building the city to continuously extract grain from the warehouses captured by the Ming army as an advance payment for ordinary workers and craftsmen.
