Chapter 235: Encountering the Dead Under the Kiln
"Oh, yes, yes" Knowing that his life was safe, Liu Fu's hanging heart instantly felt better, and there was still a chance to turn things around, as long as he saw Long Xiang or Lu Su, his misunderstanding could be solved.
Liu Fu followed Feng Zhong silently forward, straight to the west of the smoking city, and finally stopped in front of a brick-making workshop, and the brick-making workshop manager went out to greet him when he heard the news.
After seeing the ceremony, Feng Zhong pointed at Liu Fu and said: "This person pretends to assassinate history and cheats, and is punished for working here according to the rules, do you know what to do?" ”
"The end will be saved." The steward clenched his hands into fists. The brick-making workshop, cement workshop and other government-run workshops involved in the construction were all under the jurisdiction of the craftsman battalion, and the steward in front of Feng Zhong was his soldier, bringing Liu Fu here for easy supervision.
Seeing that Feng Zhong was about to leave after explaining, Liu Fu hurriedly asked, "No. General Feng, you want me here."
"Hefei people only talk about pragmatism, don't say I don't give you a chance, if you want to leave with all your tails, don't cheat and play tricks during the work period, and reform it here, what will you do to tell you the rules." Feng Zhong patted Liu Fu on the shoulder, turned around and left with his entourage, Liu Fu suddenly became a brick-making coolie from the history of assassination.
Liu Fu used to be a subordinate of Peng in Xudu, and all he did was paperwork with a pen in his hand, but in the brick-making workshop, his palms were basically mud, and it was still a work that consumed physical strength and sweat.
After only one day of work, Liu Fu felt the hard work of the grassroots workers, there were guards and supervision inside and outside the brick factory, and the workers would also expose laziness and other behaviors, and there was almost no possibility of escape, let alone seeing Long Xiang or Lu Su.
After working in the brick factory for three days, Liu Fu was so tired and sweaty in winter that his arms trembled when he ate at night.
Thinking that he would have to hold on for nearly 100 days, he was really afraid that he would die of exhaustion in Hefei, and that kind of death was more wasteful than his predecessor Yan Xiang.
With the idea of giving it a try, Liu Fu asked for a manager to transfer to a position on the grounds of physical discomfort. He thought about it all night, and on the fourth day, he was really transferred to be the easiest potter.
Hefei new city construction, Long Xiang stopped all the construction in the city, those new to Hefei, were arranged to work on the construction site outside the city, the craftsmen of the brick-making workshop in the city, except for a small number of similar to Liu Fu this kind of 'fine work', most of them are full-time brick craftsmen, easy jobs can not be outsiders.
Lu Su also burned the kiln in Hefei, and suffered under the kiln in the summer, but this position in winter is poor, if there is no Long Xiang to secretly open the back door, Liu Fu is not qualified to go to the kiln in winter.
Kiln firing is a technical job, Liu Fu got rid of physical troubles, but suffered ruthless suppression mentally, because he met an old man under the kiln.
The old man didn't seem to recognize Liu Fu, but when he saw that the person who came swallowed saliva and didn't speak, he frowned and reminded: "What are you doing stupidly?" It's not time to change shifts, so I can't find anything to do, so I'm going to move firewood. ”
"Sir? Is it really you? Why is it here" Liu Fu was excited for a moment and shook You Heng's hand. You Heng pulled out his left hand and showed a puzzled expression: "You are."
"Liu Fu, Liu Yuanying, when I sent Mr. out of Xudu, I had a relationship with you." Liu Fu pointed to his enthusiastic introduction, and when he saw You Heng in the brick kiln at this time, he actually had a feeling of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country.
Unexpectedly, the great talent who was only open in Xu Du in the past showed no mercy in the second sentence of the meeting.
"It turned out to be Liu Peng's genus, what? Did Cao Mengde kick you out of Xudu? ”
"Ugh no." Liu Fu waved his hand, bowed his head and said, "Cao Sikong recommended me as the assassin of Yangzhou."
"Yangzhou Thorn History?" You Heng looked at Liu Fu with a beard, three days of work made him embarrassed, and he couldn't see that he was a Confucian scholar.
"Yangzhou thorn history kiln to observe the people's feelings? If Cao Mengde has a trace of love for the people, there will not be so many rebellions under his rule" In the face of You Heng's ridicule, Liu Fu explained embarrassedly: "Mr. is really funny, the Hefei guard mistook me for a fine work, so I came here"
"Gong is Cao Cao's person, it's not as good as fine work, Long Yunqi is really a wonderful person" You Hengyan shook his head and put a piece of wood into the kiln.
Liu Fu heard that You Heng praised Long Xiang, but he was dressed poorly and was burning the fire under the kiln, so he sat cross-legged and asked curiously, "Is Mr. You familiar with General Long?" Can you bring me a message? ”
"Let me bring you a message? What to bring? You Heng frowned noncommittally. Liu Fu hurriedly stood up, bowed and said: "I came to Hefei this time alone, I wanted to surprise General Long, but it was self-defeating and caused a misunderstanding, and the imperial court really wanted to give him the post of Lujiang Taishou."
"Lujiang is in the hands of the Sun family, Cao Mengde is really calculating" You Heng smiled coldly, looked at Liu Fu and shook his head sarcastically: "Liu Thorn Historiography Liu Jingsheng can't succeed, but he fell here to burn the kiln, which is self-defeating and the words are appropriate." Liu Fu endured the embarrassment and bowed again: "The officials and people of Hefei can't recognize me, God is fortunate to meet Mr. You here, can you please testify for me?" ”
"According to the practice of Hefei, it is recognized or guessed to be a fine work, and it can only be released after three months of labor, and Liu Tingshi estimates that he has only been here for a few days, and it is not easy to get free." Seeing that You Heng was no longer sarcastic, Liu Fu hurriedly threw a 'painting cake' to the other party: "With Mr. Lao's help, I will be grateful when I correct my name, I will go to Huainan alone, and there are still many positions in the state capital." With Youheng's cleverness, he naturally understood the sound outside the strings, he was unexpectedly not angry, only nodded slightly and said: "I was also punished for burning the kiln here, if you want to go out, you have to wait for the end of the penalty period" Liu Fu asked curiously: "How long has Mr. been here?" You Heng snapped his fingers as if calculating: "The specific day is not calculated, it is estimated that there are more than two, almost three months, in short, as soon as the penalty period comes, the steward will remind you."
"Isn't that a few days?" Liu Fu smiled when he heard this, thinking that as long as You Heng was willing to help, he would be able to stay up for a few more days and be free, but then an incredible answer came.
"No, I might be out later than you." Seeing You Heng shaking his head and denying it, Liu Fu's face suddenly changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Isn't Mr. teasing me?" ”
"Teasing? Why? ”
"I look at Mr. dressing, it does look like he has worked for dozens of days, since Hefei is limited to March, why do you say that you go out later than me?" You Heng's clothes were shiny, as if they had been coiled into pulp, and Liu Fu stared at him directly, wanting to wait for a reasonable answer.
"Although the practice is three months, my penalty period is a special case, and there is a period of six months" I saw You Heng spread his hands, as if to say that my reason is reasonable?
"Six months?" Liu Fu swallowed his saliva, and said in his heart, "Have you dug the ancestral grave of Longxiang?" But he guessed that it was You Heng's mouth that caused the trouble.
How can this person have Corporal Cao Sikong Lixian, you should. Seeing that You Heng didn't answer, Liu Fu bowed again: "Since we are out of the kiln before and after, we need Mr. Lao to testify at that time, and we will definitely repay it well."
"How are you going to repay it? Give the history of Yangzhou to you? ”
"How can the imperial court appoint each other? Sir really can joke."
