Chapter 1264
Li Qiufeng knew that in order to keep himself in Dongliao County, Wang Xiaoyu not only detained Wei Erbao, but also "invited" several famous carpenters inside and outside Dongliao County to Wangjiazhuang. But Xiao Dong and Qin Lao Wu only knew that all the carpenters in the city did not know where to go, and they didn't know that Wang Xiaoyu did it. At this time, I saw Zhuang Ding bringing in more than a dozen people from outside the door, and it was Wei Erbao who walked in front. I saw that Wei Erbao had a blue nose and swollen face, his hair was scattered, and the clothes on his body were also tattered, and he looked extremely embarrassed. Xiao Dong and Qin Lao Wu had always despised Wei Erbao, and when they saw him look like this, they were quite gloating in their hearts.
Wang Xiaoyu smiled: "I will give it back to you with the surname Wei." In addition, these master carpenters I invited to the village as guests, they have eaten and drank, and there is nothing to do at the moment, so I might as well go back with you. ”
Li Qiufeng looked at these dozen or so carpenters, although they were not as embarrassed as Wei Erbao, but they all had sad faces, their eyes were full of fear, and they looked like guests who had been invited, and secretly laughed in their hearts.
When Xiao Dong heard that these people were all carpenters, his heart sank, and his face sank. He stared at Wang Xiaoyu and said, "Miss Wang, I didn't expect that you arrested all the carpenter masters in Dongliao County overnight. The eldest lady has repeatedly embarrassed us, what is it for? If you don't make it clear, Xiao will set foot in Wangjiazhuang today!"
After Xiao Dong finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out his long sword in his right hand. Everyone only felt that the cold light flashed in front of them, first there was a soft "click", followed by a "zheng", and Xiao Dong had already put his sword into the sheath. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Xiao Dong wanted to do when he drew his sword and put it away. Wang Xiaoyu sneered: "The surname is Xiao, do you think that you can scare us by changing a trick?"
Wang Xiaoyu's voice fell, and the sandalwood table placed in the middle of the main hall suddenly split in half, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Only then did everyone know that after Xiao Dong drew his sword, a sword cut the table in half. It's just that his sword was as fast as lightning, and everyone just saw the sword light flashing, and they didn't see clearly how he slashed at the table with his long sword, Xiao Dong had already put his sword into the sheath. The sandalwood table was extremely hard, Xiao Dong could cut it in half with a sword, not only was his martial arts and swordsmanship superb, but the long sword in his hand must also be a sword that sharpened iron like clay.
When everyone saw that Xiao Dong was so powerful, their faces changed greatly. Wang Xiaoyu was even more frightened, secretly thinking that this bastard surnamed Xiao was so hateful, but his martial arts were really powerful. If this sword had slashed not at the table, but at my neck, I would have been in a different place.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu's face turned pale, and he involuntarily took a step closer to Murong Danyan.
Xiao Dong saw Wang Xiaoyu's frightened face, knowing that this little girl finally knew the power of her means, he was proud, and said in a deep voice: "Little girl, if you don't tell the truth, your head will be like this table." Hey, hey, hey. ”
Although Wang Xiaoyu was not convinced, he was also afraid that the long sword in Xiao Dong's hand would cut at him, and he couldn't say a word in fright. Wang Sheng stood aside and watched coldly, although he didn't know why Wang Xiaoyu caught so many carpenters in Wangjiazhuang, but he also guessed that Xiao Dong was also looking for these carpenters. Just now Xiao Dong showed this martial art, and Wang Sheng was also taken aback. Seeing Xiao Dong's eyes showing a fierce light, it seemed that he could burst out and hurt people at any time, Wang Sheng's mind turned sharply, and he came up with an idea. I saw him unhurriedly arch his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao, this matter must be blamed on my eldest lady." The magistrate of Dongliao County, the Yamen, wants our Wangjiazhuang to undertake the construction of Zhong Kui Temple on the Motianling, and we mainly purchase timber bricks and tiles in Liaoyang Mansion and other places, and recruit carpenters, so I will hand it over to the eldest lady to do. I don't know that Mr. Xiao also has to ask a carpenter for help, otherwise he would have invited these masters out a long time ago. ”
Wang Sheng's words were very sincere, and there was no trace of falsification at all. Although Xiao Dong still had doubts in his heart, he couldn't find anything wrong. He had heard that the Yamen of Dongliao County wanted Wangjiazhuang to build a temple on the Motian Ridge, and he saw with his own eyes the mountains of bricks, stones, and wood on the ridge. Wang Sheng said that Wangjiazhuang wanted to recruit carpenters to build Zhong Kui Temple, which is not a lie. Thinking of this, Xiao Dong's anger calmed down a little, and he no longer suspected that Wang Xiaoyu had other plans. He snorted and said, "It's still Steward Wang's refreshment." Xiao only needs one shopkeeper Wei, and the rest of the carpenter masters, Guizhuang keeps it for his own use. ”
Wei Erbao was locked up in the dungeon of Wangjiazhuang for the past two days, and the Zhuang Ding who guarded him beat and scolded him, and did not give him food and drink. At this time, when I heard that Xiao Dong was going to take him away, I was overjoyed. If it weren't for Wang Xiaoyu, Wang Sheng and others standing next to him, he would have knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Dong to thank him.
Wang Sheng didn't know why Wang Xiaoyu had caught so many carpenters and locked them up in Wangjiazhuang, hearing Xiao Dong say this, he was afraid of revealing flaws, so he didn't dare to say more, just nodded, turned his head and said to a Zhuang Ding: "Leave the shopkeeper of Wei, and settle the rest of the carpenter masters to entertain them, and don't be the slightest disdain." ”
He said this on his lips, but he was sweating in his heart. Because he didn't know which of these carpenters was the shopkeeper of Wei, and if Zhuang Ding didn't know, he was afraid that Xiao Dong would see the flaws. The Zhuang Ding agreed, reached out to untie the rope tied to Xiao Dong's arm, and then led the other dozen or so master carpenters out.
Xiao Dong saw that these carpenters had sad faces one by one, and they were tied up by Zhuang Ding with a rope and led out, which can be said to be extremely embarrassed. He thought to himself, what did the butler surnamed Wang say about inviting these carpenters to help build the temple, but looking at the appearance of these carpenters was even more terrifying than being kidnapped by bandits. Most of the time, Wangjiazhuang sent people to forcibly arrest these carpenters and force them to build temples. Not only did they not pay their wages, but they were afraid that they would not even be able to eat.
Wang Sheng saw that there was only one person left among the dozen or so people, and it was naturally the shopkeeper of Wei. Seeing that Shopkeeper Wei was so embarrassed, he thought that he had suffered a lot in the hands of Wang Xiaoyu. He frowned, and said, "You need to use a saw and chisel to do carpenter's work, and if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself." Shopkeeper Wei is really a real person, he doesn't hide his personal interests when he works, and he looks like this, we must not treat him badly!"
When Wang Sheng said this, he turned to a Zhuang Ding and said, "You go to the account office to pay five taels of silver, and then go to Aunt Wu to get a set of clean clothes, and hand them over to the shopkeeper Wei to bring back." ”
The farmer agreed, and walked out quickly. Wei Erbao never dreamed that he could get five taels of silver, and he was overjoyed, the torture he had received in the past two days was instantly left behind, and he thought to himself, if I could earn five taels of silver every day, I would be able to endure it if I lived in Wangjiazhuang for another ten days and half a month!
Xiao Dong had a different mind. He secretly thought in his heart, Wei Erbao was obviously detained by your Wangjiazhuang, and he was still doing this in front of us at this time. It seems that these bastards in the village are all cunning and shameless, and you have to be more careful when dealing with them.
He didn't know that Wang Sheng's words were not intended to deceive, because Wang Sheng really didn't know that Wei Erbao and Zhang Shi and others came to visit Wang Yuanwai and touched Wu Laosi's bad head, so he was detained in Wangjiazhuang.
When Xiao Dong took out his sword, Li Qiufeng's heart froze, for fear that Xiao Dong would be crazy and send out a sword to kill people. Later, when I saw that the two sides did not move, I was relieved. I just saw that Wang Xiaoyu's face was pale, and he was obviously frightened by Xiao Dong's martial arts. Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart that Miss Wang grew up in Wangjiazhuang since she was a child, and she had never met a person with strong martial arts. The king's servants and the people in the Zhuangzi treated her very well, making her less and less aware of the height of the sky. When I met Xiao Dong today, it would be good for her to suffer a little. lest she mess around all day long, and don't know how to restrain herself, and cause even greater disasters in the future.
Xiao Dong arched his hand towards Wang Sheng, and said, "Thank you Steward Wang for your success, Xiao will leave." ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Wang Sheng agreed or not, he turned his head to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Zhu, won't you go back to the dock with us?"
Li Qiufeng saw Xiao Dong's angry face, and knew that Xiao Dong was quite dissatisfied with him. He didn't want to clash with Xiao Dong, so he replied respectfully: "Naturally, I want to go back with Mr. Xiao." ”
Murong Danyan saw that Li Qiufeng was leaving Wangjiazhuang, and he was a little reluctant in his heart. I just know that Li Qiufeng has something important to do, and he can't stay here. She secretly thought in her heart that this good student surnamed Xiao was arrogant, and Brother Li was quite jealous of him. If I want to go to Fusang with Brother Li, I have to settle this surname Xiao first. This person's martial arts are not weak, but it is not easy to subdue him.
