Chapter 101: Filling the Pit
Although Su Zhiyuan's movements were very light, Banxia was still awakened by the blanket pressed on his body, looked at Su Zhiyuan with sleepy eyes, and said softly: "Xianggong~"
Su Zhiyuan gently patted her back: "Good, sleep for a while." ”
Banxia grabbed Su Zhiyuan's arm and got up, rubbing his eyes: "I've been sleeping for a long time, it's dark!" ”
Su Zhiyuan helped straighten out Banxia's "chicken nest head".
Banxia nested on Su Zhiyuan's shoulder: "How about Juzicang?" ”
"In another month, people will be able to live, and now they can only be wronged to make do in a small courtyard."
Su Zhiyuan rented a yard nearby and hired the people nearby to take care of the children, of course, he was paid.
"Today, 11 people were selected, five young strong men, and six women," Banxia took the initiative to talk about recruitment, "In addition, a cook and a warehouse manager are needed, can there be suitable candidates for Xianggong?" ”
"There is a Master Zhang in the Qianzhou School, who invited himself to be the warehouse chief, and his knowledge and character are all first-class."
"It's good to decide."
"The cook is also a key position, does Madame have a suitable candidate?"
Banxia thought for a while and said with a smile: "I don't know how Yu Niangzi's cooking skills are?" ”
Su Zhiyuan rubbed her head: "It's a good candidate, I hope the cooking is delicious." ”
"I've got to try it tomorrow."
"Knock, knock"
Mama Su stood outside the house: "My lord, madam, where is dinner today?" ”
"The main hall."
"Yes, sir."
The two walked hand in hand, even though they have been married for many years, they are still in love. The people in the house have gone from being unbelievable at the beginning to being accustomed to it now.
Dinner was simple, two bowls of noodles and a plate of braised pork.
Su Zhiyuan picked up a piece of meat and put it in the Banxia bowl: "The lady has lost weight recently, eat more." ”
Banxia subconsciously pinched his fleshy face: "......"
Seriously?!
"Xianggong, do you want to go to Yu's house with me tomorrow?"
Su Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "I have to go to a nearby village!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Su Zhiyuan put down his chopsticks: "It's been so long, it's time to fill up the abandoned pit!" ”
"It's time to fill in," Banxia held Su Zhiyuan's hand, thought about it, and added, "Tomorrow, the prime minister will bring more servants." ”
"Don't worry." Su Zhiyuan patted her hand comfortingly.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Su Zhiyuan hurriedly set off with a few servants.
"My lord, where are we going first?"
"Go to Longevity Village."
Horses ran through the streets, breaking the silence of the morning, and by the time the group arrived at Changshou Village, it was already dawn.
When the early peasants in the fields saw this battle, they gathered together and whispered: "Why are there so many servants, who is in trouble?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't heard of anything big in this village!"
"Let's go check it out!"
After a few people discussed, they packed up their farm tools and chased after them along the trails of horses.
This chase was chased to the abandoned pit in the middle of Changshou Village and Changfu Village, and many villagers gathered around from afar to watch the excitement.
"What are they doing here?"
"Who knows, is it that they are looking for abandoned babies in the pit again?"
An elderly farmer said: "Some time ago, I came to see it every day, I came to look for it every day, and the survivors were able to take it away, and now Lord Zhizhou has explicitly forbidden the abandonment of babies, otherwise it will be dealt with according to law, who would dare to throw children openly!" This time they must have something else to do. ”
"Hey, look, what are the servants doing with shovels?"
"They're going to fill in the pit!" Someone in Changfu Village was dissatisfied, "Why did you fill in the pit?" ”
When Su Zhiyuan heard this, his eyes were cold: "Why can't you fill it!" ”
The man was speechless for a while, and said strongly: "You just can't fill in, even if you are an official, you can't bully people like this." ”
The people of Changfu Village have always been arrogant: "Yes, you just can't fill it in, bully us people, right?" Are we not afraid of you? ”
Su Zhiyuan's eyes seemed to have a sharp blade slashing: "This abandoned pit belongs to Changfu Village?" ”
"It's from our village, and we've worked so hard to fill it in."
"It turned out that you dug it," Su Zhiyuan sneered, "According to the laws of our country, the people are not allowed to abandon babies at will, and if it is serious, they will be beheaded!" How dare you dig the pit of discarded children in the open? ”
"You fart," the people from Changfu Village looked arrogant, "Lao Tzu has never heard of this bullshit, don't come here to scare us!" ”
"Bold," a servant poked a shovel into the mud, "If you dare to speak filthy words to Lord Zhizhou, you will be punished with a cane for twenty!" ”
"Lord Zhizhou?" The man looked at Su Zhiyuan in disbelief, "Are you Lord Zhizhou?" ”
Su Zhiyuan ignored him: "Twenty canes will be punished and executed immediately." ”
The official got the order of the adult and stepped forward to arrest the man, and the man struggled desperately: "Dad, second uncle, third uncle, save me!" ”
The official kicked him on the knee: "Shut up, what kind of body is the big man shouting." ”
The people of Changfu Village have always been united, everyone is a community of interests, and there are more or less blood relations, at this time, seeing the people of Changfu Village being punished, or in front of the people of Changshou Village, the face is a little unbearable.
But Lord Zhizhou is standing here, and the common people are afraid of being officials, especially those who are young, and they dare not act rashly.
But! The "old bones" of Changfu Village don't think so!
More than ten years ago, when the previous governor was still there, it was because of the "unity" of Changfu Village that even the people in the government did not dare to touch them at will.
As long as they grasp the "degree" and be tough at the right time, the adults in the past turned a blind eye.
As soon as the village chief of Changfu Village was about to speak, he heard Su Zhiyuan say to the official next to him: "Has this person participated in the Fushougou project?" ”
The official kicked the man: "My lord asked, did you participate in the Fushougou project?" ”
The man trembled: "No, I didn't choose it." ”
"Is there you in the barn?" Su Zhiyuan then asked.
The man's eyes flashed, and he didn't speak.
Su Zhiyuan looked at the official and said, "Go and check, if there is him, settle his salary, find someone to replace his position, and in the future, any instructions issued by the government will not allow him to be hired." ”
The man panicked, but he still had a stiff mouth: "I didn't make a mistake, why don't you use me!" ”
Su Zhiyuan glanced at everyone present, and finally fixed his eyes on the village chief of Changfu Village, and he didn't know whether to tell him or the people on the ground: "Those who misconduct will never be hired!" Do you understand? ”
No one present dared to answer, the silence was terrible.
Although it was a wilderness and there were no boards, the officials still had a way to carry out the execution, and they used shovels instead of boards, so that the man cried and cried for his mother, and the sound frightened the birds in the woods.
"Fill the pit!" With Su Zhiyuan's order, shovels of dirt filled into the abandoned pit, those dirty past, innocent and weak lives were about to be buried in the ground.
The bones are buried, the body is warm, they are not cold!
I hope that in the next life, you will grow up healthy and happy, and you will have the love of your parents and relatives.
