After a while, Wu Liangjin came out of the house, holding a broom in his hand, and cleaned up in the yard quietly. Then I cleaned up the house. After working all day, the houses in the Wu family's courtyard were bright. Seeing that Wu Dacheng and Mrs. Wu were very satisfied, Wu Liangjin asked them for wages.

Mrs. Wu said, you are looking for Governor Wu.

Wu Liangjin wiped his forehead sweat and looked at Wu Dacheng, but did not speak.

Wu Dacheng said with a straight face, do you still want to be paid? If you and six other gangsters rob a boatload of soybeans on the Chibi River and kill people and steal goods, I just need to report to the official, and you will be arrested at that time. Then a sharp gaze burst out and forced Wu Liangjin to continue, you have committed this kind of crime that hurts heaven and reason, if the government arrests you, you must be killed. Tell you, you just work hard with me, and make a living! I won't denounce you, read that you have the same surname as my Wu, and it is difficult to write a Wu character in one stroke, so I have the right to protect you, you have to respect yourself, if you want to turn (commit) evil, I'm sorry, going to the guillotine is your only way out.

Wu Liangjin was shocked and stammered, I ......

Wu Dacheng said, what am I? Did you admit it, did you confess, and want to retract it?

Wu Liangjin whispered, no. Governor Wu, I want to say that I don't want the money for yesterday's or today's work.

Wu Dacheng raised his voice and said, in the future, when you do things in Wufu, I will give as much as I want, if you don't give money, you don't fight, but things must be done well! Remember?

Wu Liangjin replied helplessly, remembering.

Wu Dacheng said, just remember it, I, Wu, will keep you safe!

At this moment, in the Wujiazhuang public hall, Wu Dacheng, Wu Patriarch, and Tian Fu, the construction contractor, sit on the east and west sides of a square table; On the north side of the table sat several squires against the wall; On either side of the public hall sat a row of road builders dressed in soap-colored clothes and bridge builders dressed in blue clothes.

At this time, Wu Dacheng handed over the triplicate road construction contract that was being revised to Tian Fu for a look.

Wu Dacheng looked at Tian Fu and said, You can also modify it.

I read it, so there is no need to modify it. Tian Fu spoke simply.

Wu Dacheng took the road construction contract in triplicate from Tian Fu's hand, handed it to the patriarch Wu, and said in a more respectful tone, you are the head of the clan, please take a serious look.

Patriarch Wu said, OK. Then he read the contract one by one according to the order of the above articles, and then said, this is it. and returned the road construction contract in triplicate to Wu Dacheng.

Wu Dacheng picked up the brush on the table and signed his name in turn at the end of the contract in triplicate, signed it three times, and then pressed it with his thumb in the spare box of red ink, and then pressed his handprint on the signature of the contract, and also pressed it three times. So he pushed it to Tian Fu and said, Boss Tian, it should be signed by you and your fingerprint.

Tian Fu hesitated for a moment and said, can Governor Wu change one of the clauses slightly?

Wu Dacheng asked, which one?

Tian Fu said that the fourth article, which reads "before the start of construction of 500 meters of township road, half of the total amount of the budget subject matter is advanced for construction, and all payments are made after completion", can it be changed to "500 meters of township road before the start of construction according to the total amount of the budget subject to pay, and the balance of 20% is paid together after completion and acceptance"?

Wu Dacheng said directly, no. What if I give you 80% of the total amount of the target and you cut corners? It was originally a good deed for me to donate money to build roads, and even if I did a good deed, I couldn't do it hastily. If I do what you say now, I will basically give up the initiative, and then I will appear passive. He glanced at the patriarch Wu on the other side and said, Patriarch Wu, did you say?

Patriarch Wu said knowingly that the Wu Governor's Mansion was very reasonable, so he would do what the Wu Governor's Mansion said, and don't be instigated. Looking at Tian Fu again, he still had a hesitant attitude. He said hard words unceremoniously, Boss Tian, do you do it or not? If you do it, sign the contract and press your fingerprint; If you don't do it, I'll hire another contractor right away, and there will be many people who want to take care of it!

As soon as Tian Fu heard it, he said unequivocally, do it! Immediately according to Wu Dacheng's appearance, he signed his name one by one on the triplicate contract, and pressed his handprint, also three times each. After that, he pushed it in front of Wu Dacheng.

Wu Dacheng took the triplicate contract and said seriously, Patriarch Wu, you, as the notary of the whole village, sign the closure.

Patriarch Wu did not sign immediately, stood up and bowed to Wu Dacheng and Tian Fu, and then straightened up and said, Governor Wu, on behalf of the whole clan, I thank you for your donation to build a road for our village, so that everyone can travel.

Wu Dacheng then bowed to him and humbly said, ashamed! When I was in office, I was busy with the cumbersome government affairs in the government and could not take care of the construction of my hometown. Now that the old man has returned to his hometown, he can't make a big contribution to his hometown, so it is also appropriate to build a road and build a bridge.

Speaking of this, Wu Dacheng smiled slightly, and changed the topic, Boss Tian, this 500-meter rural road is built by your road builders, and I believe that you will complete the task with quality and quantity.

Tian Fu stood up and bowed to the Wu patriarch in return of the courtesy, and began to say, I will never live up to the expectations of the Wu prefect, the Wu patriarch and the people of the whole village, and I must build a good road that can stand the test of time.

Patriarch Wu looked at a few squires and said, ranked squires, just now Boss Tian expressed his attitude, and his attitude was very good. I signed it on behalf of the notary of Wujiazhuang. After speaking, he immediately signed the contract in triplicate and pressed his handprint.

A squire stood up and asked, "What about the bridge?"

Wu Dacheng replied that the contract for road construction had only just been signed, and the matter had to be dealt with one by one.

The squire sat silent.

At this time, Patriarch Wu separated the contracts in triplicate, kept one for himself, and handed the other two to Wu Dacheng and Tian Fu respectively.

Tian Fu held the contract up and waved it like a flag at the road builders on the side, and smiled as a victor. He looked at a big man in a row of road builders and said loudly, Foreman Zhou.

Yes. Foreman Zhou, who answered in response, walked out of the queue.

Tian Fu began to lecture, the contract has been obtained, and you can lead the team to break ground now.

Foreman Zhou said, OK! Then he turned and shouted to a row of road builders, stand up!

So a line of road builders immediately stood on one side of the court.

Foreman Zhou made a powerful gesture and shouted, let's go! He led a row of road builders out of the court with high spirits.

Wu Dacheng took the lead in applauding, and thunderous applause immediately resounded in the courtroom.

After a while, the bridge construction contract in triplicate was also signed one by one according to the procedure, and the fingerprint was pressed. Then Tian Fu gave a mobilization speech to the work of building a row of bridges.

After that, foreman Qian, who was also a big man, responded positively, and led a row of bridge builders to walk out of the court with great interest.

Wu Dacheng took the lead in applauding again, and thunderous applause rang out in the public hall.

Three months later, Wujiazhuang's original yellow mud road was built into a 500-meter-long gravel road. Patriarch Wu is leading the villagers to set off firecrackers on the gravel road to celebrate!

Four months later, a tall arch bridge was erected over the original 10-meter-wide river channel in Wujiazhuang. The Wu patriarch is leading the villagers to drape the arch bridge with red and hang colors to pray for blessings!

On that day, the weather was fine and the wind was beautiful. A temple is being built on the western slope, and the construction team is busy.

A mage chants a mantra to a temple that has not yet been completed.

Several monks dug a pit at the intersection of the western slope and erected a road monument. There is a line of eye-catching inscription engraved on it: Wu Dacheng of Wujiazhuang donated money to build a temple, and his merits are immeasurable!

One night half a year later, Wu Dacheng, who had fallen asleep, snored like thunder, waking up Mrs. Wu, who was sleeping soundly. She yelled, annoying, snoring like this, how do I sleep?

In the black rumbling, touching Wu Dacheng's skin was sweaty, she quickly turned over and got out of bed, lit the candle, and took a dry towel to gently wipe the sweat on Wu Dacheng's body.

At this time, Wu Dacheng's snoring became quieter, and Mrs. Wu blew out the candle, lay on the bed, and slowly fell into a light sleep. Suddenly, I heard Wu Dacheng's shout of "Ahhh

Mrs. Wu was completely awakened, and immediately sat up and asked: What's wrong? What's wrong?

In the dark, she heard Wu Dacheng say in a hoarse voice, madam, it's over, it's over, the bull head and horse face have detained my soul.
