Today's second watch, there is another watch in the evening, ask for tickets with everyone, ask for fans

~~~

In the inner hall of Xiao Mansion, accompanied by musicians and singers, Xiao Yang feasted and drank with the heads of the Lu and Huang families, listening to small songs and beating beats, with a leisurely and complacent expression of joy.

"Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan don't know how to lift, they dare to help Li Weiguo against us, this time they dig the river embankment, the four of them have suffered heavy losses, see if they dare to be arrogant in the future!"

"200,000 stone disaster relief grain has been burned, and tens of thousands of disaster victims are besieging the county government under the instigation of our people, I am afraid that at this moment, Li Weiguo's little child has the heart to cry to death!"

"Haha, this is all thanks to Brother Xiao's clever plan, is Li Weiguo'er an opponent? Come and give Brother Xiao a toast together! ”

Lu and Huang raised their glasses, Xiao Yang was praised by the two of them, picked up the wine glass and said: "As long as the two virtuous brothers follow me Xiao Yang, you will definitely be indispensable in the future!" Come on, do it! ”

The three of them clinked glasses and were about to dry them when they suddenly heard a hurried shout from outside the door.

"Sir! Big—whoa! ”

Xiao, Lu, and Huang turned their heads to look over, only to see the Xiao family's housekeeper running over quickly, and as soon as he spoke, he was knocked down by the threshold, and a dog grabbed and fell to the ground.

"Haha, seeing that Steward Xiao is in a hurry, he must want to say the word "big joy!"

"Isn't it that the county government has fallen, and Li Weiguo's child was beaten to death by the rebels?"

Lu and Huang had rich imaginations, and immediately made up for what Steward Xiao didn't say.

"It's really a minion who has never seen the world, let the two of you see the joke!" Xiao Yang smiled slightly and played a round for Steward Xiao.

At this time, Steward Xiao got up, shook his dizzy head, and hurriedly said, "Master, something is wrong!" ”

"Uh......"

Xiao, Lu, and Huang, who were toasting to celebrate, were stunned for a moment, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Seeing that the three of them didn't react for a long time, Steward Xiao explained anxiously: "Master, I just got the news that the county master blocked the embankment of the breach!" ”

"What?"

Not only Xiao Yang, but even Lu and Huang were stunned and surprised.

"How is that possible?"

"How can it be possible to block the Yangtze River breach? Could it be that he is the reincarnation of Dayu? ”

Xiao Yang asked three questions in a row, with a look of doubt on his face.

Steward Xiao smiled bitterly: "How dare the old slave lie in front of the master? It's really blocked! I heard that the county magistrate requisitioned more than 200 merchant ships of the Su family, which were filled with sand and gravel earthwork, and then all sank into the breach, which instantly blocked the flood of the Yangtze River, and then tens of thousands of people worked together to completely repair the breach in less than half a day. ”

"Use a sunken ship to block the break, this Li Weiguo really dares to do it!"

"More than two hundred merchant ships, this is the entire family of the Su family, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, just sank like this, this Li Weiguo is really a loser!"

The heads of the Lu and Huang families were so angry that they scolded Li Weiguo for being a loser, but they were actually jealous that the more than 200 merchant ships were sunk and they were really blind, and it would be good if they were given to them.

Xiao Yang's face was dark, and he secretly scolded Lu and Huang in his heart: "What two fools!" How can the loss of 200 merchant ships be compared to the rescue of 200,000 people in Chongming County? ”

Xiao Yang sighed: "Li Weiguo, you really surprised the old man, the old man admitted that from ancient times to the present, there has not been a county order as bold as you, for a group of untouchables, you dare to take more than 200 merchant ships!" It's a pity, what can you do even if you block the breach? The old man burned your disaster relief food, and the Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan families will no longer be able to take out 200,000 stone disaster relief food, and you can't save them even if you love the people. ”

"What Brother Xiao said is extremely true!" Lu and Huang immediately shouted.

"Master, Master Huang, Master Lu, the old slave hasn't finished talking yet!" Steward Xiao continued at this time: "The county master has returned to the county office, I heard that Huang Liang, the warden of the workshop, testified in person, and now the people in the entire Chongming County know that the river embankment was dug by Xiao San'er with people, and the granary was ordered by the lord to set a fire, just now Xiao San'er and others were arrested, it is estimated that there will be officials to come to our Xiao Mansion soon!" ”

"What?"

"How so?"

Lu and Huang's faces turned pale suddenly, and the wine glasses in their hands fell to the ground and shattered.

"Huang Liang Pifu, even you are the old man behind your back?" Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, then became furious, and overturned the table.

The housekeeper said: "Master, the situation is urgent at the moment, did the old slave send someone to seal the third young master and Huang Liang together?" Otherwise, their testimony will be extremely unfavorable to the master! ”

Xiao Yang calmed down, shook his head and said, "Last time, we sent someone to infiltrate the county government prison to kill people and kill people, which has alarmed Li Weiguo, and now it is impossible for him to be unguarded, I'm afraid it won't work." The old man believed that Xiao San'er would not talk nonsense, and that Huang Liang would at most prove that Xiao San'er participated in the digging of the embankment, and he couldn't rely on the old man. ”

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and soon a family member came in to report.

"Master, it's not good, the county lord sent troops to surround the Xiao Mansion, and there are dense people, I'm afraid that there are no less than 10,000 people, rushing in towards the trouble, saying that if you don't open the door for them, you will bear the consequences."

"These damn pariahs, do they still want to smash and rob the Xiao family again? How can this be reasonable, the old man is angry! "Xiao Yang was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and the last time he miscalculated, the Xiao family was smashed and robbed once, although most of the things were recovered, but the loss was still not small, if he did it again, he couldn't stand it.

"Poof!"

The more Xiao Yang thought about it, the more angry he became, a mouthful of old blood spurted out again, and he fainted.

Soon, the gate of the Xiao family was knocked open, Zhang Xiaoliu broke into the Xiao Mansion with heavily armed guards and officials, although there were many members of the Xiao family, but unfortunately they did not dare to compete with the officers and soldiers, especially the guards led by Zhang Xiaoliu were holding foreign guns, no need to shoot, just the bright bayonets were enough to deter everyone.

"Take them all!"

Zhang Xiaoliu gave an order and controlled all the people in the Xiao Mansion.

When he saw Xiao Yang vomiting blood and falling into a coma, Zhang Xiaoliu suddenly pouted and said: "It's a pity, this old man actually fainted, and Lao Tzu is ready to humiliate him for the young master first!" ”

Zhang Xiaoliu secretly complained that it was a pity, and ordered someone to carry Xiao Yang away, and together with the Lu and Huang family heads, Xiao Steward and other important accomplices, they were escorted to the county office, and the others were restricted from entering and leaving.

In the county prison, Li Weiguo looked at the people on the torture rack with a blue face.

This person is Xiao San'er, Xiao Yang's nephew, who led people to dig the Yangtze River embankment and flood Chongming County, causing a tragedy of tens of thousands of deaths and injuries.

Li Weiguo gritted his teeth with hatred and asked, "Have you recruited it?" ”

Zhang Xiaoliu nodded and shook his head, and said, "Xiao San'er's subordinates have all been recruited, claiming that they were instructed by Xiao San'er. It's just that although Xiao San'er admitted that he could do it, he just didn't confess Xiao Yang. This Xiao Yang is Xiao San'er's uncle, like father and son, all the torture tools have been used all over again, he just insisted that he did it himself, and no one instructed him. ”

Li Weiguo frowned and said: "This won't work, if you don't die, you will suffer from it, and Xiao Yang will work hard in vain!" ”

Zhang Xiaoliu glanced at Xiao San'er and said worriedly: "But if he is tortured again, he will die, what if Xiao Yang dies without proof at that time?" After all, Xiao Yang has the Governor of Liangguang above him to support him, and the young master is afraid that he will not be able to kill Xiao Yang without full evidence. ”

Li Weiguo nodded, this was exactly what he was worried about.

He thought about it, and saw that Xiao San'er's face was already unrecognizable at the moment, and he was beaten so much that he couldn't even recognize it, so he suddenly had an inspiration and said: "Yes, go find a prisoner who is about the same size as Xiao Yang, beat his face beyond recognition, and let him replace Xiao San'er, just like this...... So...... should be able to fool Xiao Yang. ”

Li Weiguo gave the order again, and Zhang Xiaoliu suddenly understood.
