Chapter 117: The Calm Before the Storm

The master led people to look along the river with great fanfare.

The people who built the river also knew that Mo Xuan was missing, and gathered around Zero One one by one.

"Mr. Zero One, is Lord Mo Xuan really not here? Washed away by water? ”

"Mr. Zero One, we're not working, let's help you find adults."

Looking at the familiar faces, Zero One couldn't say the feeling, at this time his face was full of stubble, and his eyes were full of red bloodshots, not only him, but even other people.

It's been days, and the adults haven't come back, and they haven't found it, but they don't want to give up.

The god-like adults will definitely come back, and they will definitely be happy when the adults come back.

Zero One patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, "Don't worry, the adults will definitely come back, we have already sent someone to find it, and so is the government office." ”

"You can carry out waterway construction with peace of mind, the adults used to value this place the most, so we must stick to this place and wait for the adults to come back."

The person in front of him felt a little better, turned around and went back to work hard, holding back a lot of energy in his heart, he must do a good job, and the adults will definitely come back.

On the county lord's mansion, the servants were cautious one by one, for fear of touching the moldy head of the master's house.

The house has been depressed, the master is missing, the lady is sick, and the young master Rui'er is duller than usual.

He heard about it, he heard that his father was missing, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, his mother was sick, and he had to be sensible and not cause trouble for his family.

Yunshang's mood became more and more irritable, from the initial confidence to the current apprehension.

Why hasn't your husband come back? Did something really happen? Or is something delayed? It is said that the husband is injured, is there any medicine to take? Is it better?

Seeing that people are getting thinner and thinner, the small kitchen is changing its way of cooking, but it has no appetite.

Yunshang looked at the gloomy sky outside, "Is it going to rain again?" There won't be any more flooding! ”

Yunshang muttered to herself, and the grandmother behind her glanced out the window and sighed silently.

"Madam, don't worry, the master will definitely come back!"

Yunshang nodded, she also kept comforting herself, her husband would come back, it would be fine, but how long would it take for someone to come back?

In the past, she didn't like rain and felt stuffy, but now she is disgusted, disgusted with rainy days, and has a shadow in her heart.

"Madam, the porter came to tell you, the master is here, do you want to see me?"

The master has been here several times in the past few days, Yunshang has only seen it once, and the rest have been in poor health and have not seen him again.

Yunshang frowned in disgust, "Tell him that I am not feeling well, and send someone to ask the master, can the county master be found?" After so long, what do the servants eat? If you can't find anyone yet, don't blame me for going to the government. ”

Mama nodded, she didn't feel inappropriate, if she didn't want to see it, she wouldn't see it, Mrs. is a woman, her husband is missing, and she has only had a seizure until now, which is already sensible enough.

As soon as the words were learned from the master, the master was relieved, it seems that the county master really didn't come back.

The master smiled bitterly and said to the little maid in front of him, "Please rest assured, Madame, I will do my best." ”

Hearing the reply, Yun Sheng couldn't help but snort coldly, "Why don't you say that you can't find anyone, and you come to see you?" Is this sure that the husband will not come back? ”

Hearing the small tone of resentment, Mama just didn't hear it, just complain, just complain, as long as you don't hold it in your heart.

As if he got the news, the master began to take action, re-wooing wealthy businessmen from all walks of life, and playing up and down.

Sent people to grasp the process of waterway waterwheel terraces, and even had to discharge all the floodwater from several flood discharge sites.

However, after a few tests, the few people sent out were not sure, and they opened an opening from above, but the river flowed out and almost washed people away.

didn't dare to move blindly, so the master had to give up first.

Thinking of Zero One and the others, he couldn't help but be greedy, how good would it be if these people could be used by them?

It's a pity that those people are loyal and have no possibility of rebellion, if they really rebel, will he dare to use it?

The location of the flood discharge cannot be opened casually, so we can only turn our eyes to the waterway, and send a lot of people to go there, and the progress is much faster.

Zero One is not refused, at this time it is a time when there is a large shortage of manpower, and it is sent to the door in vain, how can it not be used?

The master stared at the prison, he regarded the waterway as his political achievement, and it was also a vote to the imperial court, of course, he did not give up the rest.

The Tian family was suppressed by the Li family at this time, and the business declined, and the Li family's daily income was red when he saw it.

At this time, he didn't know that the barbecue was thought of by the county lady, and he just wanted to grab the business.

He asked Zhang Chao and the others to pay attention, and there was only one way to think of it, poisoning.

When someone dies, the tavern owner must be interrogated and sent down to the dungeon, and they have a way of prying open a person's mouth.

The master agreed, and handed it over to Zhang Chao directly, and he didn't need to go out in person for a trivial matter.

Find the sufferer, find the work, find some witnesses, and it will be done.

Li Hao has been in a very bad mood recently, and when an adult has an accident, he always feels that there is no protective umbrella, and he even wants to close down for rectification.

He knew his family's business, and someone must be watching, and the master and wife also asked him to be careful.

Sometimes he thinks that if he doesn't teach the recipe ingredients, the business, and the family, then he can exit safely.

Father woke him up, the Li family got the favor of the county lord and the formula of the lady, if he gave up this business at this time, it would be equivalent to standing in line again.

Can the master treat him sincerely? If the county master is fine, can he, the county master, want it?

So no matter what, he can only stand up, no matter what happens, he can only stand on the side of the county master.

Last night, the lady specially talked to him and gave him a reassurance, "Husband, don't worry, we will never hold you back." ”

"You can do it with confidence, I believe that those people will have scruples, and they will not compromise the entire Li Mansion, we are your backing, do whatever you want, do it!"

The lady smiled and persuaded him, and Li Hao suddenly burst with pride.

He has always been timid, otherwise he would not have been attached to Tian Dagongzi before, and when he became a live target, he almost wetted his pants.

Now he suddenly feels that he is not afraid of anything, he wants to follow his own heart, and it will become.

Lixian County is not big, some people want to deal with Li Mansion, some people have already heard the rumors, and those who want to stand in line have already stood in line, and the rest are still waiting.

In the past few days, there are surprisingly few guests, there are not a few tables a day, the chefs are very idle, and someone reported to Li Hao.

Li Hao was silent for a while, it seems that these people are about to do it, tell people not to care, just pay more attention.

They can't prevent it if they want to, they just wait for someone to take the initiative.

It's like the calm before a storm, tense and oppressive, but unavoidable.
