Chapter 40: Wang Mazi is arrested

The first thing in front of Ye Zhen now is naturally to build a new house, and everything else has to be a little later.

As long as there is no chaos on Mrs. Wu's side, she doesn't have to worry too much about it for the time being, just wait quietly for the news.

Although the drawings drawn by Ye Hao are quite complex, they do not occupy a large area, and the complex is the internal structure.

Therefore, the amount of work on the brick kiln side is not large, at most it is to add a few more walls to the house and isolate a few rooms.

When Ye Hao showed the drawings to the brick kiln manager, the other party promised that it would take them no more than fifteen to twenty days to build the main body of the house.

The rest of the work has to be left to the bricklayers and carpenters, and the brick kiln is not part of their job no matter what kind of decoration you need in your house.

During the period of building the house, although the work was not very complicated, Ye Hao's family had to help.

Therefore, since the start of building the house, Ye Hao has stayed at home and has never left.

On the third day of catching the brick thief, the main messenger named Wang Mazi was still wandering around the county.

He didn't know that the theft of bricks had been exposed, and he was still thinking about where to find a seller of green bricks.

Among the gang of brick thieves, only Wang Hu knew Wang Mazi, and the others didn't know who it was.

And the brick stealing was caught by someone, where do they, the little scoundrels who often steal chickens and dogs, dare to make a big splash?

One by one, they have been honestly huddled at home for the past few days, and they dare not go anywhere.

One is to recuperate, and the other is afraid that the other party will retaliate in the future.

Especially Wang Hu, this incident made him very angry, so he didn't report to his cousin, but secretly looked forward to the other party being caught.

Such a shameful thing, even if it is a brick kiln with green bricks, will not be loudly proclaimed.

Therefore, even though they had sent people to look for Wang Mazi's traces on the streets, they still did not alarm the other party.

"What bad luck! Why don't these people have any guts? Isn't it just a few bricks? It can be so cheap and not let go! ”

After spitting on the ground, Wang Mazi walked out of a family with a depressed face, and while talking, he was carrying the garbage on the side of the road with his feet.

In the past few days, he has been walking in front of the doors of those who have built brick houses in the county, and as soon as he sees people, he will come up and ask the other party if they want green bricks.

There are few families in the city who can build houses with green bricks, and these families are not short of money, so Wang Mazi naturally didn't dare to send it to let people find out that they were reselling green bricks.

His target is to put the house of the ordinary gray brick house, trying to attract the other party with low prices.

In his opinion, even if the price of a green brick is cut at half of the price, it can still be earned.

The left and right were stolen by Wang Hu's people, and there was no cost, and he could still make a lot of benefits.

But he didn't expect that in the past few days, he hit walls everywhere, and no family was interested in the low-cost green bricks in his mouth!

Wang Mazi, who was walking on the street, was extremely dissatisfied and irritable, since he was driven out of the brick kiln, he also lost the way to make money, and he has been living on the money he took from his parents in the countryside for the past few days.

In the past, when he was still working in the brick kiln, he had a place to rest, but now he has to rent a very cheap house in the city every day, and the dark and damp feeling makes people uncomfortable.

"If you can't find anyone to buy it, just go to Qingcheng next door to try your luck!"

Wang Mazi thought secretly, and unconsciously walked to the door of the hut he rented.

As soon as he looked up, he saw two familiar people standing in front of his house, as if looking around.

His heart suddenly tightened, and he turned his head and ran!

It can be said that it was too late and that it was too fast, and the workers of the two brick kilns had already seen him, and they chased after him without saying a word.

Speaking of which, Wang Mazi was able to enter the brick kiln purely because he was abducted and deceived, and he got in by chance.

Not only is his popularity poor in the brick kiln, but his physical strength is far inferior to others.

In addition, he has been busy looking for people to sell stolen goods in the past few days, he has not enough food and clothing, and his steps are vain, and he was caught by two strong workers within a hundred meters.

"Humph! Dare to run?! ”

The first person to grab Wang Mazi snorted angrily, and slapped the other party's face.

The other person was not polite at all, and directly twisted his hand behind his back, so that people could not escape.

Wang Mazi, who was subdued, screamed in pain, and hurriedly begged for mercy in a low voice:

"Ouch! Two good brothers! Lighter, lighter! ”

"Lighter? You're thinking pretty beautifully! ”

The one with the worst temper among the two sneered, and slapped him in the face several times, beating him to the ground, unable to distinguish the north and south directions.

After beating up and getting angry, the two escorted Wang Mazi, who was about to be knocked unconscious, to the direction of the brick kiln.

"Just this guy, the two of us have been running around outside for two days, and we have to be scolded by the steward! If I don't teach him a good lesson, it's really hard to express the anger in my heart! ”

The worker who did it earlier said to his brother, who also nodded when he heard this, and looked at Wang Mazi with a rather unkind look.

The two of them were indeed brick kiln workers, and they were also brick kiln thugs, and in addition to their work, they were occasionally sent out to do some other work.

After learning that Wang Mazi was the main messenger behind the brick stealing, the brick kiln manager hurriedly called someone out to arrest him.

It's just that Wang Mazi doesn't have a good relationship with other brick kiln workers on weekdays, so he can't even inquire about his whereabouts, so he only sends a few more people to look for clues everywhere.

This matter can be big or small, the steward naturally didn't dare to provoke Mochizuki Tower, and he didn't catch anyone in a hurry for a few days, and the people below also suffered a lot of anger.

Therefore, after the two caught the person, they escorted the person back to the brick kiln while taking the time to vent their anger.

When the group arrived at the brick kiln, Wang Mazi was beaten to the point that his face was swollen like a pig's head.

"This is the mastermind behind the brick stealing?"

The middle-aged man sitting in the hall next to the brick kiln glanced at Wang Mazi who was pressed to the ground, frowned slightly, and immediately waved his hand.

"Send it to Steward Li, what this person does is up to the head of the household."

The man in the brocade robe didn't want to take another look, so the two of them sent Wang Mazi away again.

"The owner, since the person has been caught, then this matter should be fine!"

The man was also followed by a little old man with a beard, who was looking at each other with a smirk.

The man in the fancy dress didn't speak, just nodded silently.

When Wang Mazi was sent to Ye Hao's house by donkey cart, it was already two hours later.

At this time, it was getting late, and the workers of the brick kiln were already eating dinner and preparing to go back.

After arriving at the construction site, a person jumped out of the donkey cart first, explained his intention to the steward Li, and then returned to the donkey cart.

As soon as Ye Hao finished eating, she saw the brick kiln steward walking towards her with a smile.

"Mrs. Xie, you've been waiting for a long time, we finally caught that Wang Mazi and sent it today."

As soon as his words landed, two workers with tall oxen and horses dragged a man who did not know whether he was alive or dead into the courtyard.

The two dragged Wang Mazi in front of Ye Hao and threw it casually, and after a "bang", Wang Mazi, who was thrown on the ground, woke up slowly.

This great movement also alarmed the others, and the women and brick kiln workers present all turned their eyes.

"This is that Wang Mazi? It's really good to look like a thief, no wonder you can do such a thing! ”

"It's really a bear's heart and leopard's guts, dare to commit a crime in our village, and you must not spare him easily!"

The women who came around pointed at Wang Mazi on the ground, and it was difficult to hide their anger and disgust between their words.

Steward Li arched his hand at Ye Hao and said:

"Mrs. Xie, we have already caught him and brought him over, as for how to deal with and punish him, it's all up to you!"

Looking at Wang Mazi, who was beaten on the ground and couldn't see his human appearance, Ye Hao was silent for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Xie Yunshu beside him.

Although the other party is indeed not authentic, she is not guilty of this in her heart, just a beating, right?

Xie Yunshu saw the unbearability in her eyes, and frowned slightly, but this time she was unwilling to let the other party be merciful.

They are now in a remote wilderness, surrounded by danger, and if they show too weakness, they will only be bullied.

He was willing to let go of the previous thieves, firstly because of Ye Hao's attitude, and secondly because Lin Bin had already beaten them.

As far as Lin Bin's ruthless hand is concerned, in less than ten days and half a month, those little thieves must not think about it.

But this Wang Mazi is the mastermind behind this matter, and he only suffered a little flesh wound, he will not let go of the other party easily.

"Let's put him in the firewood room first, and then starve for a few days."

Coldly uttered the punishment, and his words were supported by all the women present.

After receiving the signal from Steward Li's eyes, the two workers hurriedly carried the people again and walked to the most remote room in the courtyard.

Seeing that Xie Yunshu insisted on punishing Wang Mazi, Ye Hao opened her mouth, but still did not refute it.

She knew that she was a little too virgin, but as a modern person with a good quality education, she couldn't treat human life like the ancients in front of her.

After silently sighing in her heart, Ye Hao still forced herself to accept Xie Yunshu's arrangement.

Excessive kindness will only bring disaster to herself, and she has to be responsible for those around her.

Seeing that the person was closed, Steward Li breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said hello to Ye Hao's family, and left with the workers.

And those village women, after helping Ye Hao clean up everything, also left one after another.

There were also some warm-hearted people who asked Ye Hao if she needed her own man to come over and help look at Wang Mazi, but the other party refused.

With Lin Bin, a powerful existence at home that has regained his combat effectiveness, what kind of movement can these little scoundrels who even have three-legged cat kung fu do?

"If you want to survive in this world, you can't be overly kind, that will only be used."

Ye Hao, who was lying on the bed in a daze after washing, suddenly heard this sentence, she turned her head in a daze, but saw a person who surprised her.

Lin Bin, who was standing beside the bed, looked indifferent, but his ink-like eyes exuded a calming light.

Ye Hao, who came back to her senses, squeezed out a helpless smile on her face and nodded slightly.

She also knows in her heart that the times she is in are different now, and she can't bring her previous thoughts into her current life.

"I know, but I still want to have my own bottom line."

She could accept Xie Yunshu's punishment of Wang Mazi in the afternoon, it was just starving, and it was not too serious.

But if the other party directly offered to hurt the other party at that time, she couldn't guarantee that she would retreat.

Looking at Ye Hao's clear eyes, a complicated look flashed in Lin Bin's eyes, and the hand hidden under his sleeve was quietly clenched.

But soon, he let go of his hand again, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in an inaudible voice:

"I hope you can stick to your heart."
