Chapter 104: Trick 2
After the man's reminder, the old man immediately suddenly showed a frightened expression, if this is the case, it means that the person who washed Xicheng in blood is the current His Royal Highness the Prince.
When the man saw the old man's expression, he sighed slightly and shook his head, and continued to chatter: "I don't know if you have noticed, the people who were slaughtered that day were all old, weak, sick and disabled, those people were useless to the prince, and all the people died, but only a ten-year-old Xiaosi survived, you said that if it wasn't for the prince's subordinates, how could the ten-year-old baby of Xiaosi survive?" ”。
"But why did the prince do this?"
"Well, what do you say, otherwise why would you and I come here to work as coolies?"
"What do you mean...... The prince tricked everyone into coming over to do labor? ”
The man was entangled for a long time, and his expression was also a little flustered, and he blinked again and again, and said, "Don't say it again, you see, that old Song is staring at us with a tiger's eye."
The old man swallowed his saliva tremblingly, his eyes glanced back slightly, and sure enough, Lao Song was looking at everyone with a straight face, and when he saw this, the old man almost believed the man's words.
Soon, the version of this story spread throughout the common people, except for Xiao Si. Because they decided that Xiao Si had been bought by the prince.
After hearing this earth-shattering news, everyone gathered towards the man one after another in the airspace, and everyone who already had some identification with him now had already regarded him as a leader, and they all surrounded him, asking for help: "What should I do now?" ”。
I saw that the man's eyes rolled a few times, and he said in a mysterious low voice: "The prince grabbed us here, isn't it just to build a dam, as long as this dam is not repaired for a day, he has to maintain us for a day, and we have to eat and drink for us, as long as we keep dragging the speed of the work to slow down, he will not dare to lift us, so delicious and delicious!" ”。
The man's remarks undoubtedly hit the hearts of the people, who already felt that this project was a very tiring livelihood, and now laziness is indeed a way to save everyone's lives, so why not do it?
In the afternoon, Lao Song patiently gathered the big guys in one place, trying to boost morale, and said, "Everyone completed the project well this morning, and we will make persistent efforts in the afternoon to drag the dam back on track as soon as possible!" ”。
Different from the morning, at this time, everyone had different expressions on their faces, and the enthusiasm for work in their eyes was also less than half, although everyone still pretended to be harmonious, but the momentum was already more than half smaller than in the morning.
Lao Song gritted his teeth, held back the annoyance in his heart, and kept comforting himself in his heart: The people are here to help, and they can't pick and choose, and they can't pick and choose......
Everyone saw Lao Song's reaction, and they were even more firm in their hearts: the prince still needs himself, and he will definitely not turn his face with everyone at this time, as long as the project is not completed in one day, the big guys will have a good life!
So the work of the people in the afternoon can be imagined, the dam Shirao is dragging hard for a day, in the end it is the first little change in the morning, the people in the afternoon are more like wilting children, only complaining bitterly but never working hard, the old Song saw the nest fire, but still endured.
——
At night, a man in a night suit quietly entered Chen Jinsong's study, he knelt down on one knee respectfully, and reported meticulously: "Lord Qiqi, his subordinates are acting according to plan, and everything is going well at present."
"Not bad, go ahead"
"Yes"
After obtaining Chen Jinsong's approval, the man neatly withdrew from the door and ran in the direction of the Xichenghe camp.
Chen Jinsong had a vague smile on his face, if he hadn't killed the guards by himself yesterday, he wouldn't have thought of it, what could be more frustrating than the betrayal of his own people? Chen Jinye, this king wants to see when your dam was built.
——
The days passed, and soon Bai Ju's qi and blood were almost replenished, except for the wound, it would take some time to recover, most of the time, he had already gotten out of bed and moved freely, Chen Jinye was very happy to see that he could come out to the hall to eat.
Since Bai Ju was bedridden, Liu Linger has always avoided herself, so that in the last two or three days, he has eaten alone in the hall, not to mention that she can't meet Liu Ling'er, even if she goes to her room to find her, she always closes the door and says: "Still angry".
Chen Jinye naturally knew that she was not angry for a long time and avoided him, but because she said something ambiguous that night, she was not hiding from the side, it was her own gesture of goodwill.
Just thinking about it, Bai Ju happened to come, Chen Jinye raised his head slightly and ordered: "Bai Ju, you go and call the red girl out for dinner."
Bai Ju was slightly stunned, but he still obediently came to the door of Hongling's room, "Knock knock".
"Who?"
"Red girl, I'm Bai Ju, breakfast is ready, come out to eat"
There was a moment of silence.
"You're going too?"
Bai Ju was slightly surprised, when did the princess start to care about whether I had food or not, and then responded: "Go."
As soon as Bai Ju's words fell, Hong Ling opened the door conveniently, and then did not forget to tease Bai Ju, saying that his arm was wrapped like a zongzi, Bai Ju was angry, and he was about to get angry, so Hong Ling giggled and ran into the hall.
In the hall, Chen Jinye saw Hong Ling running over, and his heart was immediately overjoyed, and even his facial expression softened a lot with Hong Ling's arrival.
Hong Ling came straight to the delicacies on the table, she didn't see Chen Jinye, she ate very happily, Bai Ju followed behind her angrily, and muttered to herself in her heart: The princess just made sure that she didn't dare to make things difficult for her in front of the prince, so she bullied me like this several times.
Chen Jinye, who had a gray nose at Hongling's place, heard Bai Ju's muttering voice, and hurriedly turned around and asked amiably, "What did you say?" ”。
"No, it's okay"
Bai Ju was stunned for a moment and hurriedly waved his hand, and then sat down beside Chen Jinye, Hongling heard Bai Ju's cramped voice, and immediately made up his deflated look in his mind, and he seemed to have a smile on his face.
Chen Jinye turned his face slightly, and immediately caught her smile, then cleared his throat and asked, "Red girl, what interesting things have you discovered?" ”。
Suddenly called like this, Hong Ling was shocked, and the pastry crumbs in her mouth choked before she could swallow it, "cough, cough, cough ......."
Seeing this, Chen Jinye hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat, but Bai Ju had a 'poof' and laughed, seeing this, Chen Jinye's expression stiffened slightly, and a nameless fire ignited in his heart, and after slowly tidying up his face, Chen Jinye sat upright, glanced at Bai Ju coldly, and said, "You are almost recuperating, go to Xicheng River to see the situation in a while."
"Yes"
After Bai Juying came down, he immediately got up and went out of the house, Hong Ling twisted her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "The injury on his arm hasn't healed yet, doesn't this have an effect?" ”。
I saw Chen Jinye looking at Hongling with interest, and said leisurely: "The last time this king was so seriously injured, he also captured three thieves alive."
"But isn't he a little weaker than you?"
The answer blurted out by Hong Ling obviously made Chen Jinye very satisfied, only to see him slightly hook the corners of his mouth and say: "The people of this king, this king knows, and it will be fine."
Seeing Chen Jinye's conceited appearance, Hong Ling shook her head slightly and then buried her head in the porridge water, seeing that Hong Ling was no longer so resistant to contact with herself, Chen Jinye smiled slowly, and her heart became comfortable.
In this way, Hong Ling and Chen Jinye sat idly in the hall for a morning with a conversation from time to time, and soon it was lunch time, and Bai Ju almost stepped on the order to serve the food and returned to the small courtyard, but Bai Ju's expression was indeed a little dignified.
After sending off the two maids, Bai Jucai said: "Lord, when I went to visit Xicheng River today, I found that the project that was set a few days ago has not started until now, I asked Lao Song, Lao Song is also worried, he said that the people have not known what is going on since the first day, and they are tired when they have nothing to do, and the dam stone has been dragged for three days, just a little work, the dam stone has not been touched for half a minute, and now the people are not doing anything well, but they eat more than the craftsmen, and sleep earlier than anyone else, He often said some frustrating words to pick on the child, Lao Song endured it for a long time and didn't lose his temper, he really couldn't hold on, asked me to come back and ask what you mean, see if you want to send the people back and bring them back to Xicheng? ”。
Hearing Bai Ju's report, the leisurely expression on Chen Jinye's face immediately disappeared, how could this be?
"Have you asked Little Four?"
"The subordinates asked, but Xiao Si couldn't tell what was going on, Xiao Si also said that he didn't know what happened to the big guys recently, he always gathered and muttered, but he didn't take anything with him"
Chen Jinye's face was very solemn, and Hong Ling asked, "Didn't the people do it well in the first place?" Is it too bad for you? ”。
I saw Bai Ju slowly shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, Lao Song said that on the morning of the first day, the people were still very scrappy, and at that time the dam stone was still a little moved, as for the body, I don't think it looks bad, and many people are already much better than at the beginning."
Hearing this, Hong Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "In that case, if you say what Xiao Si said, isn't someone blowing some wind in front of the people?" ”。
Hearing Hong Ling's inference, Chen Jinye immediately asked, "Did you ask Lao Song to see if there were unfamiliar faces mixed in the ranks of the people?" ”。
I saw Bai Ju look embarrassed, and then said, "This... There are so many people, I don't even know them all, and I can't see anything in the old Song Dynasty."
"What about Little Four?"
"Haven't asked yet"
"Then let's go and ask for clarification!"
