Building bridges
And Ma Tianlai was dragged and thrown outside by Shen Wei, and Shen Wei looked at him coldly, "Come on, tie up this guy, send me to the square, and the adult will order to cut off his head in a while!" ”
"Yes!" Although everyone didn't understand what was going on, Qilinwei was not used to your matter, so he directly took the rope and tied Ma Tianlai, ignoring his crying, and directly pulled him to the square!
Shen Wei looked at the people outside, "Does anyone know where this official's home is?" ”
A man in the crowd raised his hand: "I know!" ”
"Lead the way!" Shen Wei said very politely.
"No problem, this guy usually treats us very harshly, and I already see that he is not pleasing to the eye! Follow me! The villagers took Shen Wei and walked towards Ma Tianlai's house.
Shen Wei turned his head to look at Qilinwei, "Twenty people come with me!" ”
"Yes!" Twenty Qilin guards immediately followed Shen Wei away, how big can a village be, and after walking less than two hundred steps, he arrived at Ma Tianlai's house, and the villagers pointed to the gate with two stone lions at the door of a house, "This is Ma Tianlai's home!" ”
Shen Wei looked at the stone lion at the door, his eyes were very disdainful, "A small seven-grade county order, dare to place a stone lion at the door?" It's rampant! Get in! ”
"Yes!" Qilinwei didn't knock on the door, the three of them directly slammed the door with a loud bang, the door crashed open, and everyone poured in!
And at this time, a woman about thirty years old came out of it, with a sharp beak and monkey gills, a pair of small eyes, and she looked snarky, "You are bold, do you know where this is?" Dare to trespass? Don't want to live anymore? ”
Shen Wei walked over: "Is this Ma Tianlai's house?" ”
"You know why don't you get out of here?" The woman screamed!
Shen Wei snorted coldly, "Grab it, your mouth is blocked, the voice is too ugly!" ”
"Yes!" The two Qilin guards came over and were about to arrest someone, but the woman still had a big temper, and directly showed the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, grabbed the back of the hand of one of the Qilin Guards, and four blood marks instantly appeared on the arm!
Qilinwei saw that this was okay, and he was not polite, and kicked it out directly, only to see the woman's body fly out instantly, like a baseball that was hit by the wall, and he didn't breathe for a long time!
Kirin guards her that? grabbed it directly, tied it up with a rope, and then tore off a piece of the corner of the woman's clothes and stuffed it directly into her mouth, and the woman was taken away!
And Qilinwei entered the mansion, launched a search, and finally caught a total of sixteen people even his family and subordinates, not to mention anything else, this horse can really give birth, a total of three children, the oldest is fifteen years old, and the youngest is seven years old! All of them are caught!
Now Huangli Village is lively, the county order and the family are arrested, I heard that they will be beheaded, and the whole village is a sensation, everyone came to see the excitement, only to see Ma Tianlai's family was tied up and thrown to the square.
When Zhao Mingqing came to the square, he saw that there were almost thousands of villagers on the third floor and three layers outside, and Zhao Mingqing was very polite, "Everyone, let me in!" ”
As soon as everyone saw that the official was coming, they immediately got out of the way, Zhao Mingqing walked into the square, and then looked at Ma Tianlai, his face was as gray as a dead man, and his daughter-in-law was still angry there, seven disagreed and eight were angry, a pair of small eyes stared at Zhao Mingqing, and his mouth was blocked and he shouted!
Zhao Mingqing snorted coldly and opened her mouth, "The official wants to see what she wants to say?" ”
"Yes!" Shen Wei stretched out his hand and opened the woman's mouth.
Just as I tore open the cloth, I heard the woman shout loudly, "What are you?" How dare you arrest me? Do you know who my cousin is? ”
"Oh? I didn't see it, it's still a person with a background, so tell me, who is your cousin? See if you can fly and scare me! Zhao Mingqing said with a sneer.
"My cousin is the prefect of Shaoyang Mansion, a dignified four-grade official, if you want to live, let me go quickly!" The woman screamed loudly.
Zhao Mingqing turned his head to look at Shen Wei, Shen Wei laughed, the other Qilin guards also began to laugh, and then thousands of officers and soldiers were also laughing, and the scene was a little ridiculous!
When the woman heard this, she said in her heart, why are these people laughing? What's going on? I feel a little wrong in my heart, "You...... What are you laughing at? ”
Zhao Mingqing stopped laughing and turned his head to look at Shen Wei, "No wonder you are so arrogant, it turns out that there are people in the housekeeper!" Remember what she said, and remind me when I return to the capital after finishing my work, I will go to the emperor to visit him! ”
"Yes!" Shen Wei looked down at the woman kneeling on the ground, "I didn't have time to introduce to you just now, this is the left squire of the military department of the dynasty, Zhao Mingqing and Lord Zhao, the official worships the three products!" And this one! ”
Shen Wei pointed at Li Hanrui, "It's the second-rank general of the dynasty, which one is not bigger than your cousin's official position?" What kind of face do you have to shout again! ”
"Me? This......? The woman was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she didn't expect to meet a bigger official today, and her face changed instantly!
"I don't know why I arrested you, do I? It's very simple, your husband Ma Tianlai, in order to deprive the imperial court of the disaster relief silver sent to the disaster area, smashed the only bridge, in order to ask for funds to repair the bridge, block the disaster relief team, and ask for the official silver of the imperial court, this is a big crime of the nine clans, and today you will all be corrected on the spot! What do you have to say? Shen Wei shouted loudly.
The woman panicked instantly, and shook her head vigorously, "I don't know about this matter!" He did it, and it has nothing to do with me! ”
"It's none of your business, but do you know what the Nine Clans are? Come on, get ready for execution! Shen Wei shouted loudly.
"Yes!" More than a dozen Qilin guards walked out, showing the treasure knives on their waists one after another, and all of them stood beside Ma Tianlai's family.
"Cut!" With Shen Wei's order, more than a dozen Qilin guards raised their swords and fell, and more than a dozen heads fell to the ground in an instant, and blood spurted out more than a meter away!
Everyone desperately tried to transport to the disaster area, but it turned out that someone blocked the transportation team in such a bad way, which is really hateful! The moment these dozen heads fell, everyone had a bad breath in their hearts!
Zhao Mingqing stood on the square and hugged his fist to all the villagers, "Villagers, we are a team that went to the disaster area to deliver life-saving food, but now the only bridge you have out of the village has been smashed, I don't know who has a way to help us?" ”
"Now people in the disaster area will starve to death every day, we arrive a day earlier, they will eat a life-saving meal a day earlier, I ask everyone, who has a way? Please come out and tell us? Zhao Mingqing shouted loudly.
After all the villagers heard it, everyone understood it very well, but this bridge building is not something ordinary people can do! Everyone is talking, who wouldn't do this?
Shen Wei sighed, "It would be good if the young master was here at this time, he is smart, there must be a way!" ”
When Zhao Mingqing heard this, he wrinkled, and said in his heart that the muddy egg was far away in Hangzhou, and when he came, the daylily was cold! What can I do?
Just when Zhao Mingqing was anxious, a man came to Zhao Mingqing, "My lord, I remember that there is an old man in our village, his name is Cao Liangcai, he was a very powerful carpenter when he was young, I heard that he also made bridges, why don't we go and ask him to ask the old man?" ”
"Cheng, where is this old man's house?" Zhao Mingqing was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"It's not far, it's over there, just as you speak!" All of them followed Zhao Mingqing to Cao Liangcai's house!
When I came to the outside of the yard, I saw that there were some free-range chickens running around in the yard built with wooden stakes outside! Zhao Mingqing knocked on the door, "Old man, are you at home?" Excuse me? ”
There was not much time, and I saw an old man about seventy years old man walking out, wearing a gray-blue coat, his clothes were patched, and his head was full of white hair.
When the old man opened the door, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, only to see hundreds of people outside, and said in his heart, what's wrong? Why are so many people here all of a sudden? Seeing a man in front of him, Lao Tzu asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”
Zhao Mingqing nodded politely, "Old man, I'm here to ask you for help!" Zhao Mingqing didn't talk nonsense, and said everything in one breath: "Now we are all in a hurry to send supplies to the disaster area, can you help us build a bridge at the end of the village!" ”
When the old man heard this, his face was full of sadness, "Oh, I said, my lord, how easy is it to build a bridge?" This Ma Tianlai is too lacking in morality, how can he do such a thing? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? There's no other way around us now, so you'll have to figure it out anyway! Zhao Mingqing said.
After Cao Liangcai heard it, he sighed, "It's a little difficult to build a bridge, but let you go over and make a temporary wooden bridge, you can give it a try!" ”
As soon as Zhao Mingqing heard that the old man had a way, he immediately smiled: "Cheng, old man, if you have a way, it is naturally better!" You say, what are we going to do? ”
Cao Liangcai looked at the east end of the village, with a slightly thoughtful expression, "This matter needs people, how many people do you have?" ”
"Two thousand!"
"Alright, I don't need it! Listen to me, my lord, the bridge at the end of the village is three feet long, about ten steps, and there is a century-old tree in the woods east of our village. Cao Liangcai said.
"This? Ask, that villager knows about this tree and shows my men the way! Zhao Mingqing shouted.
"Everyone knows this, I'll lead the way!" A man said.
"Done! Li Hanrui, you take someone to do it immediately! Zhao Mingqing said.
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute, although this tree is important, you still need to hold twenty big trees in your arms and bring them back together!" Cao Liangcai said.
"Do you hear that?" Zhao Mingqing asked.
"Clear, I'll go!" Li Hanrui took off his armor and then began to find someone to go to the mountains to cut wood!
Cao Liangcai looked at the people in the village, "Don't be idle, everyone is not idle, there are carpenters at home, axes and sickles to help!" ”
"Good!" The villagers were very supportive of this team that carried the food money, and every household sent someone to help, and this huge project began to get busy.
Li Hanrui led five hundred people to the mountains to cut wood, and then transported them back with dozens of war horses, Cao Liangcai came to the broken bridge to take a look, and sighed, "Come dozens of people, smash the remaining broken bridges here, leave no one behind, and dig out a downhill terrain here under your feet!" ”
Some people took out hammers and axes to continuously smash the remaining heel of the bridge, smashed all the stones and wooden stakes on it, and then used a shovel to take out a downhill angle, Li Changlin ordered to smash the opposite side as well, and then dug out an uphill angle, and the whole river formed an upside-down trapezoid!
After the wood was transported back, everyone looked at it, good guy, this big tree has a diameter of one zhang, it is not a hundred-year-old tree, such a good tree, if it weren't for saving people, it really shouldn't have been sawed off, Li Changlin immediately ordered that every other zhang be sawn, a total of three knots!
Everyone began to sawn wood, and after the three wooden piers were sawed one zhang long and one zhang thick, Li Changlin led people to cut off all the branches and forks outside the three wooden piers, and dug a hole with a diameter of one meter in the center, no one knew what this was, and no one dared to ask!
At the same time, the other villagers were asked to cut down all the small branches outside the twenty relatively thin trees they had just brought back, and then split them in half from the middle, and hundreds of people began to get busy.
After doing a good job, Li Changlin asked people to push all the three big wooden piers into the river, the three wooden piers are lined up on this side, each wooden pier with a diameter of one zhang, and the three are erected together to be three zhang, and the hollowed out one-meter diameter hole in the middle can let the water flow through smoothly!
Although Cao Liangcai later asked people to fill the places on both sides of the wooden piers and the river bank with gravel and soil, and then tipped them with wooden stakes and boulders, after all were done, several shapes of the wooden bridge also came out, and then split the twenty big trees from the middle, took the most explained place in the middle, and carried out a row of nails on the top of the three wooden piers!
