Ren Pingsheng took advantage of the night to entangle with the iron sword that was now heavy again for a long time, and the stumbling out of the sword was still bumping and bumping, which was unreasonable.

The person who taught him the way of the sword is no longer in the world, and even if he is alive, so what? Father's Sorrowful Heavenly Sword Dao has never been practiced to the point of double perfection, let alone entered the bottleneck of the imperial qi. According to his father, before his father died, he was probably also an ordinary cultivator.

Therefore, this embarrassing dilemma can only be broken through by one's own efforts;

dragged his tired body back to the Golden Knife, tiptoed open the door, and crept back to his room. Master Liu Ajin, who was dragged by Ren Pingsheng to strike iron day and night, and was tired all day, slept very soundly, and never noticed that the young apprentices often did not return at night.

Moreover, after Ren Pingsheng tossed like this all night, the next day, he still got up earlier than him Liu Ajin. The door of the Golden Knife is always the first to open on this street.

So early this morning, Ren Pingsheng got up and washed as always, and was about to open the door.

"Don't open it. Liu Ajin's voice came from behind, with a little yawn, "Let's take a look at the situation first, last night, a well-informed merchant gave a letter, and the people in the Zhengfu will arrest labor everywhere today." ”

Ren Pingsheng leaned against the door and quietly opened the crack in the door to look out. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen saber warriors, riding tall horses, knocking on the doors of shops along the street.

Look at the outfit of the team of martial artists, it is the official Wuding of the main mansion in Longmen Town.

"The leader is surnamed Fu, and we all have to be called Fu Da Bantou. Liu Ajin leaned over and looked out along the crack in the door, and saw that the officials were in the front of a store in the distance, pulling people out, "Close the door first." We have to think about it. ”

It turned out that on the side of the new city wall, the construction period was urgent, and the shortage of people was getting bigger and bigger, and from this year onwards, the labor of all the people below the nationality level of the city had to be changed from one month to two months.

The fact that Fu Dapan led his subordinates to climb out of the warm kang and warm the quilt before dawn and came out to recruit the people was another mystery; how could they be so desperate on an ordinary business trip?

In the open, labor is collected in earnest, but in secret, all these black workers must be gathered. Whether or not these people are released after two months of regular labor depends on the need. If the head of the people over there is still nervous, then casually give a crime of a serial crime, and approve another year and a half of labor reeducation.

If you encounter no serious people who come to talk about it, it is better to find someone at will, open a price, and give these black workers a slave registration, which can be regarded as getting a serious identity for people.

Therefore, once these people patronize the Golden Knife Record, Ren Pingsheng is here, but it will be very dangerous.

Master Liu looked anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in the store, thinking hard about countermeasures, and didn't notice that Ren Pingsheng had gone back to the room alone.

Just as the sound of hooves outside was approaching, Liu Ajin was at a loss, but he saw the young apprentice wearing a green shirt and coming out of the room.

Ren Pingsheng carried the roll of straw mats that came to the store on his back, a small burden, without saying a word, and walked straight to the door.

Liu Ajinwu was stunned in place, and when he was surprised and inexplicable, he saw that the door of the store had been opened, and in front of the young man in green shirts, more than a dozen tall horses outside the door could block the door.

"It is said that you are recruiting labor?" In the past six months, Ren Pingsheng, who had never said half a greeting to the merchants in the store, actually took the initiative to open his mouth to the group of officials.

The leader of the man, rolled the saddle and dismounted, one hand naturally clinging to the hilt of the knife at his waist, and his expression was majestic, "Yes, call your boss out." ”

"No need," Ren Pingsheng said, "I'm fifteen years old, Peixiu came from there, my family died, and fortunately Boss Liu took me in." So, he and I have been able to do this year's hard labor, and I have borne it alone. ”

The dignified-looking official had bright eyes, rolled his eyes a few times, and said with a smile on his face: "Young man, you are not old when you are ambitious. It's all for Emperor Taitian, let's go. ”

After that, he greeted his colleagues behind him, "Arrange for this little brother to be in the ranks, don't tie it up." ”

After the horse team, there were already twenty or thirty strong men with their hands tied and connected in a long rope.

Seeing Ren Pingsheng calmly walking into the ranks of the strong men, the leading official raised his thumb and smiled: "Today, people's hearts are not ancient." There are really not many people with such a heart. ”

The strong men of the horse team walked slowly in the alley, and those officials and martial artists didn't even look at the old man who was standing by the door with a sad face.

Ren Pingsheng knew that with Liu Ajin's ability, in the face of these wolf-like tolerances, he could come up with a fart solution? Since he had to make the old man uncomfortable in the end, it was better to simply do it.

What's more, after months of confusion, he suddenly figured out one thing.

The world is long, Lao Tzu has no worries, why do you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head!

At the construction site near the north gate of the new city wall of Tongchuan, the progress of the construction period has been accelerated a lot as new teams of people continue to join. With the sharp increase in the number of people, the houses on the construction site are gradually overwhelmed.

It's just that during this time, the construction sites on the southeast, north, and west sides of the new city wall are not very peaceful......

In the camp where Ren Pingsheng was located, there were more than 300 people, and there were only two cooks in that room. The food supply was really stretched, and then a plump young woman with a black face was caught from somewhere, and put it in the room to help.

The woman, half a month later than Ren Pingsheng, is really a good hand in the room, usually chopping wood and carrying rice, not losing to the two sturdy male cooks. She rarely speaks, and she doesn't have a good face for anyone.

Besides, that black charcoal face, even if it is smiling and smiling, can it be so good?

How others should be, Ren Pingsheng has never been interested. At last year's Songkran Festival, I saw that fanatical and excited face in the Temple of Heaven Square, and now people all over the world have a hateful face in his eyes.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Brother Yu Zi, who has no shortage of friends there, and the murderous silver pond will be yellow and white.

It's just that these people who look pleasing to the eye must have been thousands of miles away.

Thinking of the high-rollers who traveled far away, looking at the bustling beings in front of him, Ren Pingsheng was squeezed to the long table by the crowd behind him. He, along with all the hateful-looking beings, carried a large porcelain bowl.

Which black charcoal woman, with her eyes lowered and her expression cold, quickly stirred the spoon in the cauldron, filling the big bowl in the hands of these hungry men one by one with a spoonful of slimy things;

When it was Ren Pingsheng's turn, the eyes that had always been lowered on the black charcoal face finally lifted it, and a pair of watery eyes came out, which was extremely incommensurate with the cold and dark face.

After a spoon, Ren Pingsheng found that the things in his bowl, the combination of meat and vegetables, seemed to be slightly better than others; He wouldn't squeeze out half a smile on the woman's face because of this.

"Poor, young, okay-looking, but mute. The woman said coldly. If you change the spirit of an ordinary teenager, you will definitely not be able to stand it.

Ren Pingsheng walked away silently and gave the other party a sluggish back.

Working in the house is no easier than the coolies who move bricks and stones in the city and down the city. Those who come first have more skills and have great responsibilities, and those who come later have little qualifications and are well-spoken, then they must be doubly diligent.

So after the food was usually distributed, the two men and men walked bare-chested, touching their bellies full of oil and water, and telling some meat jokes along the way. The cups and plates in the room are messy, of course, they should be the responsibility of the newcomer.

The black charcoal woman never complained, washed and brushed, cleaned up slowly, and never cut corners. It's just that every now and then, there's always something annoying.

The overseer of this battalion is a greasy middle-aged man with a big belly. It is said that this person is a relative of the Masa in a certain area of Tongchuan City. And no matter what his status is, people with official backgrounds are not something that this group of bitter people can afford to provoke.

This greasy middle-aged man, on weekdays on the construction site, will hold a parasol and lie on a rocking chair, supporting the group of supervisors under him, like a wolf and a tiger. In the construction site, there are lazy or disobedient people, who often have to be beaten up, and even the occasional beating to death is not a big deal, but will only make others more obedient.

It's just that whenever the twilight is dull, the overseer will become quite diligent, and every day he will be punctual and fixed, and go to the house to help. On the construction site, there are of course not a few young and strong women. It's just that for some reason, the greasy middle-aged man is the only one who has blue eyes for the black charcoal woman in the room.

On weekdays, when there were many people, he didn't seem to have anything unusual about this woman. But whenever the sun was quiet, and the woman was busy in the room, he would come over and take a hand on the side.

The greasy middle-aged is certainly not just a woman's hand.

On the chest of the busy woman, the bulging clothes swayed and swayed, and he could always look straight in his eyes. Restless hands, they can't help but swim.

It's just that this black charcoal woman has a very strong temperament, and she never lets him succeed. In a hurry, the woman would even copy a kitchen knife in her hand, with a posture of a dead fish breaking a net.

That greasy middle-aged is not without some means. It's just that if you make a joke and be seen, it's not good after all, so I've endured it so far, and I've always been just able to get over it, my mouth is dry, and I'm full of unwillingness.

"Ah Lian, I see that you are such a helpless woman, young, and it is not a way to go on like this. Why don't I help you get a civil registration in Tongchuan City? If there is a family that can be relied on, in this life, food and clothing are worry-free, that is for sure, and a diligent woman like you wants to live a decent life, it is not a difficult thing. The greasy middle-aged man choked on his saliva, squinted his smiling eyes, and chattered.

"As long as you have this idea, tell my brother, things will be very easy. As for the things that cost money, brother, there is a ......"

These old tunes were repeated, and the black charcoal woman had already heard calluses in her ears, and her expression became more and more indifferent. The greasy middle-aged hot face and cold ass had to go out stupidly.

There is a board between the shed and the house, and even if you can't see it, the wall has ears, and there is really no way to do anything else.

When the black charcoal woman was busy, the night was already thick, the moon was in the sky, and the whole construction site was full of rows of board house sheds, the lights were dim, and it was silent.

After all, there are still a few female workers in this kind of construction site, so the female workers' sheds are also remote.

When the woman left the dormitory, she had to walk through the gate of the new city wall and walk a short way, which was the place where the female workers lived.

In the cave of the city gate, the stars and moon were dull, and it was dark and gloomy. The woman walked outside the door, lit a pine that had been prepared in her hand, and walked inside. In the corner, a fat figure suddenly flashed, and with just a wave of his hand, he knocked down the pine light in the woman's hand.

In the doorway, it was instantly pitch black. The woman only felt a burst of extremely heavy breathing, which spurted straight to the back of her head. I wanted to run away, but my waist was already hugged by a pair of powerful big hands.

The strong body attached to the woman's back was very hot, especially between the waist and hips, which was pressed against a hard object, which was very uncomfortable.

Seeing that the woman could no longer break free, the man finally had his hands free and tore her clothes. At this time, the woman did not panic, nor did she know what skills to use, but as soon as she turned around, she got out of the arms of the strong man and ran away.

On the second day, the overseer, who had risen early, found the fat body of the greasy middle-aged man lying in the doorway, and the egg-sized pebble embedded in the skull, which had been dead for a long time.

The news spread, and the entire construction site exploded in an instant.
