In front of the Hall of Manna, on the square.

Qin Huaidao faced the doubts and said with a smile: "General Xu, how dare you lie to this kind of thing?" ”

"That's right, you are also behind the gate, if you dare to deceive, I'm sorry for your father, eighteen taels a year, not to mention the ten taels you earned back, but eight taels more, how can the old man feel unsteady about this kind of good thing?" Xu Shiji still looked at Qin Huaidao in disbelief.

"It's useless to say, come and sign the agreement directly, take the carriage to work, set off in a unified manner at Jinguangmen, one trip a day, including food, the problem of living can not be solved at the moment, I will build a house as soon as possible, and then arrange a set of blue brick houses for one person, the cost price, deducted from the salary every month, deducted in 20 years, and then the house belongs to the individual."

"Give the house back?" Xu Shiji became more and more excited, feeling like being hit by a big pie.

Qin Huaidao corrected: "It's not to give, it's to live first, the cost price is slowly returned, everyone in Qinjiazhuang is treated like this, and the soldiers are welcome to come over at any time, and it is okay not to pull coal to do anything else, but the ugly words are said in front, don't people with suspicious identities, so as not to have accidents in the future." ”

"It's one thing." Xu Shiji didn't know what a mortgage was, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, the old man knows the severity, so he went back and told them that the guarantor is fine." After saying goodbye, he didn't care about the gaffe and trotted away.

Qin Huaidao looked at Xu Shiji with emotion, he was really a good general who loved the people like a son.

Li Jing said with some emotion: "Boy, you have given many people a way to live, and you have also given their whole family hope, the old man thank you for the soldiers." ”

"Don't say that, I'm just going to hire people." Qin Huaidao hurriedly said, although he is indeed sympathetic, but it is natural to pay for labor, not to mention that he needs manpower.

"This is a good deed, and it will be blessed." Li Jing said and waved his hand, signaling Cheng Chumo and the others to leave for a while, and then added in a low voice: "The case of the Red Boat Society has been submitted to Dali Temple for trial, and people are being organized over there to speed up the handling, it can be completed before dark, and at most there will be a result tomorrow at most, Cui Shihai's side?" ”

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "Don't worry, the charges that have been confessed are enough to convict Cui Shihai of capital crimes, it doesn't hurt to try over there, I'll take a look tomorrow, as long as you pry his mouth open, I'm afraid there will be amazing joy, but now he won't say it." ”

"I heard that he is a ruthless character, and he really won't speak easily, are you sure?" Li Jing asked uneasily.

"Trust me." Qin Huaidao nodded confidently, no one could bear it in front of the little black house.

Li Jing saw that Qin Huaidao was full of confidence, didn't say anything, and walked forward, Qin Huaidao hurriedly followed, and said to Cheng Chumo and the others who were waiting: "Are you going back to the house, or are you looking for a place to catch the wind?" ”

Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "It's still early to eat, go to the Supervision Mansion first, and my brother will run an errand under the adults in the future." ”

"And me." Wei Chi Baolin also said: "When you didn't come just now, the saint said that the brothers originally followed you to make meritorious contributions, but in the end they were defeated, and the merits were offset by the merits, and I and Chu Mo and Luo Zhang were transferred to the Supervision Mansion as lieutenants, and several of their positions also changed. ”

Qin Huaidao had already guessed it, and he didn't talk nonsense: "Then let's go, go back to the Supervision Mansion." ”

Out of the palace together.

Qin Huaidao saw He'er waiting anxiously not far away, so he said goodbye to Li Jing, Cheng Chuliang and others, and took Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin up, He'er saw Qin Huaidao coming over happily, but quickly stopped, and glanced at Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin a little nervously.

When there are no outsiders, He'er can let go, and others don't dare, for fear of losing their manners, and losing Qin Huaidao's face, he solemnly saluted and said: "The slave has seen the two sons. ”

Shizi is a specific title, generally used for the eldest son, who is qualified to inherit the title in the future, it is said that Cheng Chumo and the two can completely ignore a maid, but they still shrewdly return the gift and give Qin Huaidao face.

The group walked forward, and He'er followed behind, a heart pounding, nervous.

Qin Huaidao saw that He'er was scared, deliberately slowed down, walked side by side, and said, "Follow along, there are many people, don't be bumped into by others." ”

"Yes, young master!" He'er hurriedly said, her heart was very moved.

Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin saw that Qin Huaidao attached so much importance to He'er, and showed a smile that all men understand, but they wrote He'er down in their hearts, thinking about turning around and letting the ladies in the family move around more.

Passing by the mansion on the way, let He'er go back first, and then everyone continued to hurry, and it didn't take long to come to the Supervision Mansion.

"Your Excellency!"

The guards guarding the door hurriedly saluted.

Qin Huaidao felt that there were more people, so he asked, "How many are here today?" ”

"I'm afraid there are about a hundred, the details are unknown, they are all waiting inside, just waiting for adults."

Qin Huaidao nodded, walked into the gate and saw that there were many people gathered on the open grass, Qin Huaidao continued to come to a wing room, pushed the door in, and said to Cheng Chumo and Wei Chigong who followed up: "There are a total of five hundred people, all of whom are arranged by the two families, you are more familiar than me, but you can't do without rules." ”

"That's how it should be, just let it be arranged." Cheng Chumo said very dryly.

Yu Chi Baolin also agreed: "That's right, friendship is friendship, and things have to be done according to the rules." ”

"It's good that the two brothers have no opinion, a total of five hundred people, select the archers and crossbowmen, form an army alone, ask for a hundred people, if it is not enough, the others will make up enough, this hundred people will be brought by Luo Zhang, and the remaining four hundred people, one and a half of the two of you, go and pick someone."

"Obey!" The two solemnly clasped their fists and went happily, they used to only bring one brigade in Qianniuwei, that is, a hundred people, but now they can bring two hundred people, and they are excited to think about it.

The people are arranged by the two families, so there is no need to worry about not moving the command.

Qin Huaidao came to the backyard miscellaneous room, saw Liu Da who was guarding, and asked, "What's the situation inside?" ”

"There was no movement last night, and today I started slamming the door, asking to see the adults, but I didn't dare to answer, and no one approached here, I've been hungry for so long, do you want to send some food in?"

"Well done." Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction, slamming the door means that the other party is starting to be irritable, panicking, and his mentality is beginning to collapse, at most, he will not be able to bear it the day after tomorrow, and even tomorrow he will have to leave it all.

Locked in a small dark room, without food or drink, you can still carry it, no one speaks, no trial, mentally unbearable, will wonder if you have been given up by the family, whether you want to cut off your head, whether you really fall into a rebellion and affect the whole family, all kinds of cranky thoughts can't stop at all, and fear and worry are infinitely magnified.

Mental torture is worse than physical torture!

Qin Huaidao advised: "Send some water in, don't die of thirst, don't say a word to him, don't answer any questions, come out as soon as you send it, go." ”

"Whoa!" Liu Da hurriedly agreed and hurriedly went.

Qin Huaidao didn't leave, waited for Liu Da to come back, went in with an urn, and soon came out again, closed the door again, let Cui Shihai scold, begged, didn't spit out a word, and smiled with satisfaction: "It's good, I'll send it again in the middle of the night, tomorrow at noon, once in the afternoon and once in the evening, remember, you send it in person, others don't worry, this person has a lot to do, and he must not die, understand?" ”

"Humble duty, remember!" Liu Da said solemnly.

Returning to the wing room from the backyard, bringing the materials written yesterday to the front yard to take a look, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin were still picking people, and after signaling the two to come over, they said: "Arrange everyone's residence, this is the arrangement of arming, rotation and other matters, you two take a look, do it, the security of the supervision house must not be careless, there is no task for the time being in the past few days, improve the interior, let each other get acquainted." ”

Cheng Chumo took it and promised: "Don't worry, we will live here tonight, we won't go anywhere for the next few days, straighten out everything, and ensure that there will be no problems." ”

"Is there something wrong with you? Do you need brothers to follow? Yu Chi Baolin asked.

"It's okay, it's okay to be optimistic about your home, come to Qinjiazhuang to find something if you have something." Qin Huaidao admonished, and walked outside, it was worry-free to have someone who could be trusted to help.

When he returned to the mansion, he asked people to bring the horses and take the ill-gotten wealth towards Qinjiazhuang.

Tomorrow will start transporting coal, Qin Huaidao is uneasy, he always feels that someone will make a move, the supervision of the palace guard is a public weapon of the imperial court, and it cannot be called, so he can only go to Qinjiazhuang to think of other ways.
