On the open space north of the camp in Hebeichuan, there are several piles of hills-like logs piled high and low; The creaking sound of sawing wood is incessant, and a large group of craftsmen are wielding saws, axes, and hammers to trim into wooden strips, planks, and blocks of various shapes.

Amu is one of them, holding a chisel in his left hand and a hammer in his right, chiseling a piece of wood.

Chiseling and chiseling, Amu stopped, looked carefully at his results and sighed, his already embarrassed eyebrows drooped even more, and he looked more and more sad.

On the pile of logs behind him, the donkey, who was holding a greasy dog leg and gnawing vigorously, heard Amu's sigh, stretched out his foot and nodded the latter's back and said, "Hey! Lumps of wood, and sad for your tools? "This donkey was sent by the big battalion to supervise the craftsmen—he was the soldier of the battalion leaders of the Third Hall in Gyeonggi Province, and when the battle failed, he was sent to supervise the work—he and Amu were both native villagers of Awara, so naturally they had a good relationship.

Amu turned his head to look at him, and replied with a bitter face, "Yes! If you don't have these tools at your fingertips, you can do the work, wow! ”

The donkey jumped down from the thick log, looked at the wooden square from behind Amu, and grinned, "It's almost enough, if you can bite together...... This is a goose cart for the army, and it is not a dowry for the new daughter-in-law in the village, so why do you do it carefully? ”

Amu pursed his mouth, "I'm not worried about this...... I'm sorry for my family! It's a pity that it's all sunk in the sea! ”

The donkey handed the leg of the dog in his hand to Amu, "Take a bite?" After seeing the latter dodging and shaking his head repeatedly, he smiled disdainfully and bit hard.

His mouth was stuffed with dog meat, and the donkey leaned over to Amu as if he remembered something and whispered, "Hey, Wood Pimple, are you honest, are you secretly hiding your housework...... I know that many craftsmen have made up nonsense to get these saws and axes, and you kid is the same? Well? ”

Hearing this, Amu's face turned red, and he stood up on the ground, which startled the donkey.

"Heaven is wronged!" Amu shouted loudly, raised the chisel in his hand and handed it to the donkey, "Where can I catch up with my set of goods!" …… It's not easy to use! Am I guilty of making up nonsense for these things? ”

Seeing him shouting out with such a disregard for him, the donkey couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and after glancing at the craftsmen who were curiously looking around, he comforted Amudao, "I'll just ask casually, you're so anxious and white-eyed, as for it?" ”

After speaking, he tore another dog's leg and squinted at Amu Dao, "You said that the ship carrying your family goods was sunk by Mingkou, and I don't believe it!" …… If they have that ability, can we still stop building goose carts here? Huh~~"

This Amu was the first batch of craftsmen to board from Jewupo with 3,000 pioneers, and they were harassed by the sailors of the Fuliao army on the way, and lost several ships, including the one that transported Amu tools; The donkeys were the last batch to be transported from Mokpo, and they hardly saw the ships of the Fuliao Army on the way, and after they went ashore, they didn't even see the shadow of Mingkou, and their ears were full of rumors that Mingkou was incompetent and retracted in fright, so of course they didn't believe what Amu said.

At this moment, the donkey's words seemed to evoke an unbearable memory for Amu, who immediately showed a mixture of horror and pain on his face, "Why am I lying to you...... Don't you know, we were adrift at sea for 4 days, and Mingkou appeared, and the ship was as fast as flying...... The cannon hit so loudly that it was crackling and thudding more lively than the New Year's artillery battle...... At first, we all hid in the cabin and did not dare to go out, but then the soldiers who escorted the ship forced us to catch up on the deck, and as soon as we went up, we saw that a ship was on fire...... The ship burned so hard that half the sky was red...... Mingkou's cannon hit so fiercely, I saw with my own eyes that one of our turtle boats was surrounded by Mingkou's three ships, and it was blown up and sunk! ”

The donkey was still attentive at first, but when Amu said his last words, he interrupted him with a contemptuous smile, "You can talk about it!" …… What is our turtle boat? The whole iron turtle can't be pierced by the Franc cannon! Still blown up and sunk? Huh~~"

Seeing Amu snorting and wanting to refute, the donkey waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let me tell you, Mingkou is a bunch of cowards!" …… This is not what I said, our little Li Duwei told everyone that Ming Kou bullied and bullied these dirt buns on Jeju Island, and if he really met us the elites of the imperial court, then he could only pick up his tail and hide back in the Yuan Forbidden City, just waiting for us to pour into the city to cut off their heads one by one! …… Still don't believe you? Then tell me, if their ship is so powerful, why didn't they see this He Beichuan come and put two cannons? …… I heard from the brothers in the riding camp that now on the east side of the island, don't let alone Kou, you can't even see a few rabbits...... The Ming Kou only dared to show their heads at the head of the Yuan Forbidden City, and let these boys show off their might outside the city! ”

After speaking, he threw the dog's leg that didn't have much meat left on the ground, rubbed his hands on the placket repeatedly, and drooled greedily, "I heard that the good things in the Yuan Forbidden City are piled up like a mountain!" Just pick up a few things and go back to Seoul to make it worth the old nose money...... Our little lieutenant Li said that we can't make the camp, this time we want to let those guys who look down on people see it, and we can also get into battle! ”

"Huh?" Amu was skeptical when he heard this, and subconsciously said, "Even you dare to go into battle?" ”

"Nonsense......" said the donkey, glaring angrily, and just as he was about to teach this fellow countryman who looked down on him a lesson, he heard his chief not far away shouting to him, and he hurried away.

Amu looked at his back dumbfounded, and muttered, "It's really weird, no one believes the truth!" …… Even if you can't hold a gun steadily, you still dare to go into battle? Alas! It's really an old birthday star hanging, it's a long life! ”

"Uncle Shi, I dare to swear to God, Shiyun is definitely not the kind of person he said!"

In Chu Fan's office, Sun Hedou said loudly with a red face, and at the same time his eyes were fixed on Ling Ming, who was silent, and Xiancha stood beside Chu Fan, twisting his fingers to look at this and that.

The second purge of the Internal Affairs Department was finally carried out - the first purge was carried out after Chu Fan's wedding, focusing on the arrest of North Korean spies, the number of people was small and the scale was small, and strict secrecy measures were taken, so there were no ripples at all on the surface.

This second purge is completely different, the spies within the control of the Fuliao army, whether they are sent by Kinoshitamaru, or Dengzhou, or the Zheng family, or even the Tartar spies, are all uprooted - Chu Fan did this so that he no longer had to worry about a fire in the backyard in the upcoming war.

This purge arrested more than 200 people, and the vast majority of them were Mingren, which made the already tense situation even more treacherous - the acquaintances around him suddenly became spies, which always made people feel uneasy.

And those who already have their own circle of friends have aroused even greater commotion and doubts - Chinese have always attached great importance to love and righteousness, and will always try their best to help their friends intercede without knowing the truth.

Shiyun is a typical example of this - as a female teacher, she is loved and supported by those female students, and this support further infects the parents of female students; And most of these parents are the backbone of Ushijima's various groups, so during this time, the pleading and questioning of the female teachers led by Shiyun from Ushijima were overwhelming, making the Internal Affairs Department a little overwhelmed.

And among them, the most powerful voice is from Sun Hedou - he and Shiyun are not just colleagues or friends.

Looking at the third young master of the Sun family who looked like a cockfight, Chu Fan had a headache.

What can I do? (To be continued.) )
