It was dark, and Zhao Hong could only hear that it was Zhou Xing's voice.

Zhao Hong took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and walked over quickly.

"Cousin, it's a poplar. He still has accomplices, but unfortunately we didn't catch them. They were so inhuman that they wanted to set fire to the girders. Zhao Fugui's youngest son, Zhao Liang, said angrily.

Zhao Liang's temperament is a little similar to Zhou Huo, but he is more frizzy, but he has always remembered that Zhao Hong saved Zhao Ling, and he is also grateful to Zhao Hong for bringing their family to get rich, so even if Zhao Hong doesn't pay him, he is willing to come over to help.

"Let's give this vigil to the people, there are no injuries, right?" Zhao Hong asked.

Zhao Liang hurriedly said: "Just scratch a little skin, it's not a big deal, let's all be honest." ”

Zhao Hong nodded and said, "We can't solve this matter by ourselves, you go back to your father first, no matter who is injured in a while, go to me to get medicine, we are selling medicine at our own house, not bad for this little thing." Don't take small wounds seriously, if they are not treated properly, it is not uncommon to need to cut off arms and legs to save their lives, let's not gamble on this. ”

Zhao Liang was frightened by Zhao Hong's words, and it was the first time he heard that if he scratched his skin, he might become crippled, so he hurriedly responded.

However, Zhao Liang still went home to find someone first, after all, it was not a trivial matter to set fire to the beams of people's houses, and it should be similar to the crime of robbers.

Zhao Fugui soon rushed over, and the people who came were not only him, but also greeted many villagers, and called Yang Laofu'er and his family.

Seeing that the good beams of the house were drenched with tung oil, Zhao Fugui was so angry that he scolded people, but none of the villagers who saw it were not angry.

It is not easy to dig food in the soil, and building a house is a major event in the life of a countryman, and some people have never lived in a new house in their lives, even if they are envious and jealous, they will not do this kind of unconscionable thing of burning other people's houses.

What's more, burning, killing, and looting, that is the behavior of bandits, and they should not appear in their village, and being neighbors with such people will not be able to sleep at night.

"Cousin, for the sake of the reputation of the village, I shouldn't have reported to the official. But this time the Yang family touched my bottom line, our mothers were originally weak, if we take it lightly today, someone will set fire to it in the future, and no one will be able to call the shots if we burn our mothers to death. Zhao Hong deliberately said seriously.

Today's Yang Shugan, no one dares to guarantee whether the Yang family will really come to the Zhao family to set fire to the Zhao family in the future and burn people's lives.

Zhao Fugui naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, he wanted to cover it, but it was not that he didn't give Zhao Hong an explanation. As the village head, he has to be responsible for the villagers of the entire village, so he can't allow a wicked person like the Yang family to exist.

"The Yang family has become more and more indecent in recent years, and they didn't want to smash them for the sake of the villagers, but they dare to do this, that is, they don't care about human life! Zhao Hong, don't worry, this is an explanation for you in the village, and it is also an explanation and warning to the whole village. Otherwise, whoever wants to make a feud in the future will go to set fire to the third watch in the middle of the night, and the whole village will die together. ”

Zhao Fugui swept Yang Laofu'er and his family with cold eyes, disgusted with them.

Seeing that Zhao Fugui was ruthless, Zhao Hong didn't say anything anymore, and estimated that he wanted to drive the Yang family out of Taoyuan Village.

People like the Yang family, all of them are treacherous, lazy, gluttonous, and do not follow the right path, and if they are driven out of the village, they will definitely not end well.

And the beams of the house can't be used, and the Yang family has to compensate, and nine times out of ten, they will use their land to pay, and I don't know if it's enough.

"Cousin, I sprinkled the medicinal powder outside the courtyard, and there is an antidote in the soup that our people drink at night, but the people who come to my house to do evil should be poisoned at dawn. The poison is not fatal, it is extremely itchy, and it will not stop if you don't scratch yourself into a blood gourd. Zhao Hong whispered to Zhao Fugui.

Zhou Xing and the others only caught a poplar tree, and there were people who ran away, Zhao Hong was afraid that Zhao Fugui would not be able to ask, so he gave a reminder.

Zhao Fugui subconsciously took a step back, looking at Zhao Hong's eyes a little complicated, he forgot that Lang Zhong could save people and harm people.

However, Zhao Hong is here to protect herself, and Zhao Fugui can't say that she is not, so he nodded and said: "I know, you have to be careful when you use those strange medicines in the future, don't hurt the villagers." ”

"I know what I know." Zhao Hong touched her nose, she really didn't want to scare Zhao Fugui.

What else can Zhao Fugui, who has been guaranteed, say? Busy arranging people to send the Yang family to the patriarch.

Zhao Hong didn't want to mix, so he turned around and said to the descendants who stayed here: "Thank you for your hard work, move all these wood that has been drenched with tung oil to the outside of the yard, and Ming'er will split them all and burn them as firewood." ”

Because the tung oil was poured on the wood, Zhao Hong didn't dare to use it anymore, and if he accidentally knocked over a fire candle, he might burn the house, which was too dangerous.

Although the younger generations are not as good as the older generation, they are all angry and scolding one by one. Obviously, it was wood bought at a high price, but this time it was all used as firewood, and at least they had to throw away a dozen taels of silver in vain, and it seemed that they were useless, so many people didn't prevent the Yang family.

Ordinary people marry a daughter-in-law, at most four or five taels of silver, that acre of high-quality fertile land is a matter of more than a dozen taels of silver, and even if you build a mud brick house, these woods can build three good houses.

However, it was said that Zhao Fugui's team that bought land and built a house from the town, and when they saw that Zhao Hong was so decisive and magnificent, they were all relieved, for fear that Zhao Hong's insistence on using these timbers would affect their reputation after something happened to them.

"It's hard to find wood that can make beams, my brother-in-law plans to start the house next year, but I have prepared a lot in advance, you are in a hurry to use it, tomorrow I will take your cousin over there to see, if it is suitable, I will pull it over first." Go back and find the right beams and add them to the beams. ”

After the master finished speaking, he thought that Zhao Hong was a woman's family, and some things he might not understand, so he said: "If you don't have time, just give him the silver, and then I will help him Zhang Luo when I meet the right one." ”

Zhao Hong really didn't understand this, and he didn't know that it was difficult to buy house beams, so he hurriedly thanked him.

"Then dare to be kind, go back and build the house, I will wrap a big red envelope for you, but I have to thank you for your kindness." Zhao Hong said briskly.

The master is also a happy person, and after a few polite words, he beckoned his team to come over to help.

Tung oil can't only be sprinkled on the wood, the ground is stained with tung oil, you need to take away the soil, otherwise you will build a house will also smell of copper oil, maybe how many years can be cleaned, and it is bad to live.

Zhao Hong saw that he couldn't help here, so he went to Zhou's house and wanted Zhou Xinghua to help make some hot noodle soup and send it over so that everyone could eat some hot pads after finishing their work.

"You still need to say this, I didn't need me over there, so I came back to cook. In the evening, I don't give them another noodle, cook a big pot of porridge, mix some pickles for them, and scramble some eggs with green onions. Just this food, let them work until dawn is happy. "Zhou Xinghua is busy with her daughters, and there is no place for Zhao Hong to interfere.

"I'll go back and get some bacon and stir-fry some meat." These boys don't have any meat on them, and moving wood is all hard work, and there is no oil and water in their stomachs, so they have to work tomorrow. was rewarded by Zhou Xinghua, Zhao Hong was not angry, and said with a smile: "By the way, call your Zhou Huo back in a while, I have something to tell him to do." ”
