Chapter 196: Frontier Turmoil

Chu Qing sat on the high position of the lobby, looking down at Wang Lizheng who was kneeling on the ground, and the villagers outside the courtyard glared at him angrily with the most vicious eyes.

Everyone loudly announced all the evil things he had done in the past few years, especially the unconscionable things he had connived at his two sons.

Wangjia Village has been farming for generations, and finally the talented Wang Lizheng in the village has appeared, and everyone has watched him grow up.

After Wang Li Zheng went to Lizheng, even though he did a lot of wrong things, everyone chose to stand on the same line with him, there were not many literate people in the village, and most of the villagers relied on Wang Lizheng to bring Wangjia Village out of the ravine.

But they didn't expect that the blind tolerance was exchanged for Wang Lizheng's endless torture, and stealing official silver was the last line of defense in the hearts of the villagers.

Everyone doesn't plan to defend this thing, they want to talk about the suffering they have suffered for more than ten years.

Chu Qing asked the villagers to tell Wang Lizheng's inaction, abuse of power, and injuring people, and instructed Wang Duo to register on the side.

Wang Duo took a small notebook and wrote down the villagers who came to complain one by one.

Wang Lizheng sat on the ground blankly, his eyes were dilated, he finally figured it out, it turned out that everything was set up by Xu Xiaoxiao.

But he couldn't figure out how Xu Xiaoxiao knew about his private box, and how he sneaked into his house to exchange the silver ticket.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he turned his head to look at the Qin clan in astonishment, and the Qin clan at this time slowly raised his head and showed an evil smile.

That smile was full of triumphant joy.

"It turned out to be you slut, you and I killed you."

Wang Lizheng, who had figured everything out, suddenly got up and took out a dagger from his arms and threw himself towards the Qin clan, just as he was about to reach the Qin clan.

Wang Duo on the side quickly pulled out his sword and stabbed at Wang Lizheng, the sword pierced through the lower abdomen, and blood gushed out.

The villagers outside the courtyard screamed in panic when they saw this, everyone fled in all directions, and Qin's eyes widened in horror as he saw Wang Li, who had a hideous face, slowly falling.

Chu Qing took out a handkerchief from his arms in disgust to cover his mouth and nose, and he strode out of the door.

The villagers outside the door saw Chu Qing retreat in fear, for fear that he would also become a revenant under the sword.

"Don't be afraid, Wang Li is trying to assassinate this king, so he was killed by the guards, and now the official silver has been found, this Wang Nian has made a merit in planting cotton in Wangjia Village, and he will be exempted from punishment."

When the villagers, who were still in a state of panic, heard that Wangjia Village did not need to be involved in the incident, everyone immediately had a light smile on their faces and happily hugged each other.

Wang Lizheng's matter ended successfully, and Xu Xiaoxiao was satisfied lying on the couch studying the drawings of the textile factory.

Chu Qing sat beside her and drank tea, "The land of the textile factory has been found, and it is not far from the villa where Liujia Village is located, but it will not be too time-consuming to rebuild." ”

"No, it's just a simple build, I've already planned the blueprints." Xu Xiaoxiao handed over the drawings of the textile factory to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing put down the teacup and took a closer look, I have to say that Xu Xiaoxiao is still very talented in designing architecture, according to the drawings, it is indeed much simpler, and the space used is also very large.

Just as the two were discussing the next matters, Shopkeeper Zhao and Shopkeeper Huang appeared outside the door.

"Looks like you're having a good time, aren't you?" Shopkeeper Zhao entered the courtyard and looked at the buildings in the courtyard with great interest.

"Lao Zhao, Lao Huang?" When Liu Qiaoer pulled Chu Chu and Tie Zhu out of the room, she happened to see the two of them entering, and she was very surprised.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, shopkeeper Huang, why are you here?" Xu Xiaoxiao saw a familiar face and felt like a world away.

Shopkeeper Zhao came to Chu Chu with his hands behind his back and picked her up, taking over the burden of the little guy behind him, "Chu Chu, you're hungry and thin, come here and take these to eat." ”

Chu Chu took the burden with a smile, then broke free from the arms of the shopkeeper Zhao, pulled the iron pillar to the coffee table on the side, and happily opened the burden.

Shopkeeper Huang saw Chu Qing's respectful luggage, "Lord Wang." ”

"Shopkeeper Huang, it's been a long time." Chu Qing smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to help, he had stayed in the barracks recently and didn't go out, if he hadn't received Xu Xiaoxiao's news, he would have stayed in the barracks now.

"That's right, the front line has been routed by the Turkic army recently, and your military camp is also busy." Shopkeeper Huang remembered that he learned about the front line from his old partner, and he couldn't help but feel sad, it seems that Zhou Guo is about to be in chaos, and Xin'an City must be safe.

Chu Qing has indeed been defending Xin'an City recently, in order to prevent the Turks from easily attacking Xin'an City, he also plans to build another high wall, but the construction of the high wall is cumbersome, and it is approaching winter soon, so it is not a simple thing to do.

"Has it been a mess out there lately?" Xu Xiaoxiao listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but interject, she wanted to prepare the supplies for the winter as soon as possible, and rarely paid attention to things outside the city.

"Yes, there is a big chaos, our army was attacked by the Turks, suffered heavy losses, and has retreated to Wu'an City."

"I also heard Kai'er say something about the capital, and now the people in the capital are panicking, and many rich businessmen have planned to flee, and it seems that many people have chosen the destination in Xin'an City."

"In Xin'an City?" Although Xu Xiaoxiao understood the intention of the rich merchants to flee, there were many fiefs that Zhou could choose, why did he choose Xin'an City, which was recognized by Zhou as a vast and sparsely populated and barren area.

"I guess I received the news that we are too peaceful here." Chu Qing also didn't know much about the affairs of the capital, and the capital hadn't sent someone over to inquire about the news of the Chu State for a long time.

He was worried that the state of Chu was in danger, so he placed him in the mansion, and under normal circumstances, he was not allowed to go out.

As long as the state of Chu is safe, as for how the capital thinks, he doesn't want to care, and he can't care about it.

"Then if you let these rich businessmen in, I'm afraid that Xin'an City will be in chaos."

"That's right, once the rich merchants enter the city, other people will gather here when they hear the news."

The worries of Shopkeeper Huang and Shopkeeper Zhao are also a little worry, it will be winter soon, and there will be a shortage of materials, if you let the rich businessmen come over to add chaos, it will only make the situation more serious.

"Lord Wang, it's better to build an extra layer of high walls as you said." Judging from the current situation, similar to Xu Xiaoxiao's situation in the last days, the only way to save himself is to build an extra layer of high walls to resist attacks from outside.

Chu Qing was stunned for a while, pursed his lips and thought, "This ....."

"Don't worry about the funds, we'll figure it out." Shopkeeper Zhao also agreed with Xu Xiaoxiao's statement, and now he is not thinking about their personal safety, but about the safety of tens of thousands of people in the entire Xin'an City.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing made a final decision, "Okay, then we will build a high wall." ”
