Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Storm of Bridge Repair (1)

Wu Jin was pulled out of the pawnshop by Huang Fugui before he could freshen up, "You go and tell them, the bridge should be built stronger, in case it collapses, I am the person responsible!" ”

"Fifth uncle, there is no problem, what are you worried about?"

Wu Jin had no choice but to walk out of the pawnshop, and he saw Yang Jingzhou, the proprietor of Yang Ji Restaurant, and Xu Da, the shopkeeper, running panting from afar.

"What's wrong, Shopkeeper Xu?" Wu Jin asked with a smile, he knew Shopkeeper Xu, but he didn't know Yang Jingzhou.

One of the biggest characteristics of the shopkeeper Xu is that he is steady, he is not sure about anything, he will never talk nonsense, the last time Wu Jin invited Heimi to eat at Yang Ji Restaurant, he saw it, so when Heimi came to raise money to build the bridge yesterday, his first reaction was to think that this matter was Jin Fu Ji doing tricks, but he had no evidence, and the bridge was not repaired at the door of Jin Fu Ji pawnshop, it could only be said that it was possible, so he would rather be scolded to death by the owner yesterday, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

When Shopkeeper Xu saw Wujin asking him, he pointed to the front, "The owner wants to go and see the temporary bridge!" ”

At this time, Yang Jingzhou's shout came from the side of Hu Min Lane, "You can't repair it here, it should be next to the old bridge!" ”

It's a bit too embarrassing to shout like this, and the shopkeeper Xu originally ran over, but when he heard the owner's shout, he hesitated.

The craftsmen who repaired the bridge were busy, no one paid attention to him, they only recognized the owner of the bridge they repaired, Yang Jingzhou shouted and shouted, no one paid attention to him, he came back angrily and anxiously, Huang Fugui smiled with a gloating face, "Yang Dongzhu, I sympathize with you!" ”

Yang Jingzhou glared at him angrily, and said to the shopkeeper Xu: "Let's go!" ”

"Where is the owner?"

"I'm going to call a meeting of everyone to discuss this!"

Wu Jin shook his head, the first guy who didn't know the current affairs........

........

The next day was the eldest brother Weiming's move, Wu Jin naturally wanted to help, after a busy day, he naturally stayed at the eldest brother's house at night, and the next time, the sister-in-law Qi Xinlan's brother and sister-in-law came to congratulate the housewarming, and Wu Jin was not easy to leave, so he had to stay at the eldest brother's house for another day.

It wasn't until the third day that he hurried back, the carriage stopped at the Eight Immortals Bridge, he got out of the carriage, and instinctively looked at the temporary wooden bridge, which was also what he was most concerned about, and he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that a bridge made of logs had appeared on the Zitong River, Wu Jin couldn't believe his eyes, was it really repaired? He walked forward slowly, the bridge in front of him was about three feet and five feet wide, it was a kind of flat bridge, there were guardrails on both sides, it was more simple and practical than the previous Baxian Bridge, it was more than enough to walk two carriages together, but it was not completely repaired, and more than 20 bridge repairers were busy under the bridge.

This is really unexpected, although it is relatively simple to build a temporary wooden bridge, but this is too fast, he offered the condition that it will be repaired in five days, he already thinks it is difficult to do, but he didn't expect it to be completed in two days, is it really because of that additional condition?

He set an additional condition in the bridge repair contract, and for each day in advance, he would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and at this rate, it would be repaired tomorrow morning, money! It's an amazing thing.

Wu Jin patted the railings on both sides, it was the kind of long and straight square wood, all of which were pine, and he stomped on the railings again, still not moving, and the construction was very strong.

In fact, the so-called temporary is only a pretense for the outside world, and after the old bridge is demolished, this temporary bridge will continue to be strengthened and thickened, and it will become a formal bridge, and no new bridge will be built.

Wu Jin looked east again, a hundred steps away the Eight Immortals Bridge was still standing, people came and went, he couldn't help but laugh proudly, according to this progress, the old bridge can be demolished tomorrow afternoon.

"Wu Jin!"

Huangfugui was standing by the river watching the master repair the bridge, when he suddenly saw him at a glance, and hurriedly beckoned to him, "Come here, I have something to look for you." ”

Wu Jin was also about to ask the fifth uncle about the situation, he slowly walked across the bridge, "Fifth uncle, what's the matter!" ”

"Here you go!"

Huang Fugui pulled him into the pawnshop and dragged him to the inner room, and then said nervously: "Last night, Yang Ji Restaurant convened a meeting of more than 20 shops, saying that it was to prevent the construction of a temporary bridge on our side. ”

This was expected by Wu Jin, and it was strange that the other party was indifferent, he smiled and asked, "Then did they discuss any countermeasures?" ”

Huang Fugui shook his head, "I don't know, they didn't call me, I only know that they had a meeting on the third floor of Yang Ji Restaurant, and it took nearly an hour, and I felt that everyone's opinions didn't seem to be unanimous." ”

Wu Jin doesn't care much about this now, and now it's not the time for conflicts, he is more interested in why the bridge is built so quickly.

"Fifth uncle, why was the new bridge repaired in two days, you are watching it every day, you should know the reason!"

Huang Fugui smiled a little proudly, "You really asked the right person, only I know about this matter, I also asked them yesterday foreman, how to repair it so quickly, the foreman refused to say at first, and then I invited him to tea, he told the truth, it turned out that they were also building a bridge in Qingpu Town in the south, and it was almost built over there, because we had a reward here, they dismantled all the bridges that were built overnight and moved them intact, so they built them so quickly." ”

"I said! How was it built so quickly, it turned out to be ready-made. ”

Wu Jin laughed, he then understood what the reason was, at this moment, there was a sound of running footsteps outside, and the guy Lao Qi ran in, "Shopkeeper, a group of county officials have come, and they are going to Xinqiao." ”

It's a coincidence, as soon as he came back, the officials came, and Wu Jin immediately stood up and said to Huangfu Gui: "Fifth uncle, you bring the official approval, I'll take a look first!" ”

He walked briskly outside.

A group of officials came next to the new bridge, about a dozen people, led by Zhou Zhutou of Weiyang County, Zhou Zhutou was born as a samurai, and was recorded as a fifth level in Weiwei Temple, he is also a well-known role in Weiyang County, and he has been the head of Weiyang County for ten years, arresting thieves and thieves, and maintaining law and order in the county, almost everyone in Weiyang County knows him, and he has a high prestige especially among businessmen.

Early this morning, Yang Jingzhou came to him, saying that someone had built a new bridge on the Baxian Bridge, and wanted to break the feng shui of the Baxian Bridge, and asked him to stop it.

Yang Jingzhou is very thick in honoring him during the New Year's holidays, and Zhou Zhutou can't get in the way of this face, so he has to take someone to take a look first.

More than 20 craftsmen are drilling into the belly of the bridge to check rivets, some are reinforcing piles, and seven or eight craftsmen are putting a huge pine wood of five or six zhang in a rope and slowly lowering it from the bridge deck.

More than a dozen people dressed in red and black tolerance clothes, with knives at their waists, and the servants walked over quickly under the leadership of Zhou Zhutou, they were sturdy, their eyes were fierce, the long knives on their waists made them all domineering, and they walked with their chests held high, with a domineering momentum, they were the heavens of Weiyang County, in their eyes, these 20 or so bridge repairers were just sheep to be kneaded by them.

"Which of you is the head? Come up and meet me! Zhou Zhutou asked sharply.

The county government was about to arrive, so that the craftsmen who repaired the bridge were a little frightened, they stopped one after another, and an old craftsman in his forties walked ashore and said tremblingly: "The villain is the foreman. ”

"Who told you to build the bridge? What about the approval for the bridge repair? Show me! ”

Zhou Zhutou's voice was fierce and vicious, and a pair of leopard-like eyes stared viciously at the foreman who was repairing the bridge, and the foreman trembled with fright, and stammered and replied: "Yes... It was the proprietor who asked us to build the bridge. ”

"The owner? Who are your owners? ”

"Zhou Zhutou, I am the owner."

A clear voice suddenly sounded behind him, Zhou Zhutou turned his head suddenly, only to see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy standing behind him, looking at him with a smile, he recognized it at a glance, it was the teenager who did the gambling, he involuntarily took a step back, the last time he was ordered by Zhang County to arrest the teenager, and as a result, he suffered a dark loss, this teenager's strength is very great, and he can't deal with it at all.

"It's you!"

Wu Jin arched his hand, still smiling, "I didn't know it was Zhou Zhutou last time, I was offended!" ”

Zhou Zhutou knew that this young man had a lot to do with Su Tingshi, but he didn't dare to offend, so he bowed his hand and returned the salute, "I received a report that someone was building a bridge here without authorization, so let's check it out, it's official, and there is no other meaning." ”

"Oh-"

Wu Jin let out a long sigh, "Zhou Zhutou is dutiful and admirable, but the word 'unauthorized' seems to be inappropriate." ”....... (Keep asking for tickets!) Ask for a ticket with a small abacus and a basket! )
