Chapter 64: Rebuilding Murong Villa

When Bailijiu and Nuoya and their party arrived in Handan City, there were already craftsmen waiting in Murong Villa.

After Baili Jiu annihilated the Killer Pavilion, he sent a letter to the capital to send all of Nuoya's life experience and the matter of joining the Killer Pavilion to avenge his family. The old general and the old lady inevitably sighed for a while after receiving the peace letter, and specially found several craftsmen who were responsible for the construction of the Murong City Mausoleum to come and assist Bailijiu in rebuilding the mausoleum.

He was annoyed that he could not come in person, and the letter he wrote to Nuoya was full of joy and sincerity, full of remembrance and admiration for his deceased friend Murong Cheng. He blamed himself for not giving Noya the care she deserved over the years, making her suffer a lot of pain and suffering in vain, and told Noah to take good care of her body, and when the mausoleum was repaired, she would definitely come to pay her respects in person.

The two replied to the general's mansion and reported their safety, and Noya repeatedly thanked the old general for his kindness.

Now, Noya's life story has been revealed to the world with the annihilation of the Killer Pavilion, and there is no need to continue to hide it. Baili Jiu accompanied her, prepared incense and candle offerings, and after comforting her parents in the spirit of the sky, she planned to recruit some local craftsmen, in addition to repairing the cemetery of the Murong family, in addition to cleaning up the ruins, and doing a little filial piety for children.

As soon as the two discussed and decided, someone came to report that it was the prefect of Guangfu who handed over a post to meet them.

Handan City is under the jurisdiction of the prefect of Guangfu, because Handan City has been particularly prosperous in recent years, so the prefect's yamen is located in the northeast of Handan City. The prefect's surname is famous, but it is recommended to enter the office, and his political performance is said to be good.

Bailijiu and Noya glanced at each other, and felt that this prefect was psychic. Several people all came by small road, and they didn't make a noise along the way, they kept a low profile, and they hadn't entered Handan City yet, where did they hear the rumors of this road?

Bailijiu had already heard Nuoya talk about what happened in Handan City, and he had a complaint about the government's connivance with Huang Dexing, and was thinking about beating him up, so he groaned a little and announced him.

You Daoju This person looks dignified, with a lion nose and a square mouth, a white face and no beard, but the eyes are a little restless, and the essence is flashing, obviously not loyal. He climbed up from the bottom of the mountain all the way, not panting, his face not red, and he was not the weak scholar who was not diligent in his limbs and had no power to restrain the chicken.

He stepped forward to greet Bailijiu, and naturally first had a polite greeting, blaming himself for not being able to meet him from afar, and did his best to do his best.

There is no place to sit and lie on the villa, the only place to shelter from the wind and rain is that there is an abandoned house next to the mausoleum, I heard the craftsmen from Beijing say that this was originally the residence of the tomb keeper, because of the fear of rumors here, no one dared to come to the errand for a long time, and it has been abandoned for a long time.

A few people stood outside and talked. Bailijiu inquired, only to learn that he was recommended by the prince and had been re-elected for three consecutive terms in Guangfu.

Baili Jiu is not only the major general of Da Chu, but also the prince of the Nine Emperors, You Daoju is respectful to him, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, so he bows down and asks him to stay and rest with Nuoya Zhifu, and hand over all the repair matters to him to arrange.

Baili Jiu politely refused, not wanting to be perfunctory with him, knocking on the mountain and reminding the tiger: "You Governor's Mansion, I heard that there is a gangster named Huang Dexing in Handan City, who is extremely arrogant in the city, and has caused anger and resentment, but is there such a thing?" ”

Governor You was shocked by his words, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and said tremblingly: "Ninth Master Mingjian, that Huang Dexing's subordinate officials have also heard of it, but he is just a little scoundrel in the market. When I go back, I will investigate and secretly visit, and if there is really a violation of law and discipline, I will not spare it. ”

Nuoya knew that these officials were good at being a faΓ§ade, even if Huang Dexing was really arrested, when she and Bailijiu left Handan City, the back foot would be released, and they would continue to intensify their power. In this way, it is better to punish yourself and be angry for the master. Therefore, he waved his hand indifferently and said: "The prefect You Mansion is busy with official business, but it is not enough, just a little punishment and vigilance, and order him not to continue to do nonsense." Otherwise, if you spread it to the top, won't it ruin your name? ”

The prefect of You bowed his head again and again: "Madame has taught you a great lesson, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, and the lower officials will definitely take the admonition of the ninth master and his wife as an epigram, and be vigilant every day." ”

This tour prefect is not only an acquaintance, but also a person who can sneak around.

He glanced around, and continued to persuade with great sincerity: "The environment here is really hard, there is no food pot stove, and there are many mosquitoes in the grass and trees at night. Or, in a few days, the lower officials will order someone to build the house, and it will not be too late to move over. ”

Nuoya refused directly: "Jiuye Jingzhong is busy with affairs, we will finish the repair earlier, so we can return to Beijing as soon as possible, and You Prefect doesn't have to worry about it." ”

The prefect of You pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, please also allow the humble to do your part, and stay in the mansion to help Master Wu and fifty soldiers on the mountain." At the very least, Master Wu is more familiar with Handan City, if he needs to buy any materials, or hire craftsmen, he is more familiar with the road, and more people can run errands and do things. ”

Baili Jiu thought that now is the time to employ people, so he will no longer continue to refuse, and accept it calmly.

The prefect of You immediately respectfully put incense in front of the mausoleum, and expressed his admiration for Murong Cheng sincerely, and then asked his soldiers to quickly clean up the house, return to the city to procure a degree, and explain that the materials needed by the master should be selected to be the best one, and in front of Bailijiu and Nuoya, he handed over a stack of silver tickets to the master, and Yin Yin advised.

Bailijiu only didn't see it, Noya secretly said to himself, this You Prefect is really a human spirit, not only begging for favors in front of Bailijiu, but also not embarrassing to pay bribes, and will be honest in the future.

She secretly said to Baili Jiu: "Could it be that all the officialdom of Dachu is like this?" The prefect of You is just a small local prefect, and he is a little more generous, and I think he is a little too attentive, either a traitor or a thief. ”

Bai Lijiu didn't care about this: "The officials in these places have the most oil and water, do you know how much silver taels they pay every year?" These are just a drop in the bucket, not a stammer, barely just a human relationship. ”

Noya couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Eating people with a short mouth and taking people with soft hands, aren't you afraid that he will have any illegal things in the future and ask for your head?" ”

"It has almost become a common practice for the officials above to scrape a layer of skin whenever they come down. If you refuse, it will make him frightened and unable to sleep. If you want him to stay here every day, haunting you crookedly, slapping your horse, you can return the silver ticket. Baili Jiu smiled and winked at Noah.

Noah sighed, and had to give up. Bailijiu has never been an honest and honest gentleman, he is as cunning as a fox, and what he says always has some truth.

You Zhifu secretly observed the words and looks, and saw that Bailijiu and Nuoya did not have any unpleasant reactions, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground, pretending to be busy for a long time, until it was not early, he said goodbye to the two of them, and went down the mountain with peace of mind.

Master Wu recruited a lot of craftsmen with good skills in the city, began the specific repair work of the cemetery, and cleaned up the burned villa, and planned to build a house, which is not too big, three in and three out, and planted fruit trees around. Noya didn't want the villa to be decayed and desolate, at least, if it would be inhabited in the future, it would still be Murong Villa.

The repair of the mausoleum was jointly undertaken by Master Wu and the craftsmen sent by the General's Mansion. When the old general repaired the mausoleum, it was the master surnamed Tian who was in charge, and he was familiar with the internal structure and layout of the mausoleum.

However, he and Master Wu had a disagreement on the design of the tomb. According to Master Wu's meaning, the mausoleum of Murong Cheng and his wife must be built in an open and magnificent manner, including the underground tomb and the ear chamber must be extremely luxurious, and the preliminary plan is to dig at least five zhang, and the tomb occupies an area needless to say.

For Master Wu's proposal, Master Tian rejected it in one bite, and he thought it through. The first is that Murong Villa was originally built on the mountain, although it is said to be a dirt mountain, but it is extremely difficult to dig down, and the project is too huge and time-consuming and labor-intensive. Second, if the tomb is too large, it will greatly reduce the firmness of the tomb, and in the future, once there are natural disasters such as collapse and landslide, the tomb will also be damaged.

Nuoya felt that what Master Tian said was extremely reasonable, and she didn't want to be too extravagant, she just wanted to repair it simply, so she vetoed Master Wu's proposal. Baili Jiu wanted to show more filial piety and agreed to build the mausoleum more magnificently.

Guan Luo volunteered to stand up at this time, and said nonchalantly: "Problems like Master Tian's concerns are all trivial matters, and I can make the tomb indestructible by adding a few mechanisms to the tomb to consolidate it."

If it weren't for Guanluo saying this, Nuoya really ignored his ability, so naturally he couldn't ask for it, coupled with the master's repeated and sincere persuasion, Nuoya took a compromise and handed over the work of the mausoleum design to Guanluo.

After Guan Luo read the design drawings, but after a little thought, he drew a sketch of the layout of the mechanism in the tomb and handed it to Nuoya for a look, in addition to strengthening the role of the tomb, he also added a ecstasy ladder, a chain crossbow, a gold lock, etc. in the tomb to prevent unscrupulous people from entering the tomb.

Master Tian didn't understand the organ, but he listened to Guan Luo's explanation very subtlely, and after thinking about it, he should come down, choose an hour, and officially start work.

This news spread very quickly in the rivers and lakes, and everyone knew that Murong Yimai still had an only daughter Murong Nuo who was still alive, and after hardships, now he washed the Killer Pavilion with a sword and blood, and he got revenge and returned to Murong Villa to worship his ancestors.

The rivers and lakes that have been calm for a long time are like throwing a boulder into it, and the water waves are surging.
