Chapter 47 Midnight farce
Zhao Liya went home to draw pictures while running to the scene, where to stack, where to squeeze sugar, where to store various tools, build warehouses everywhere, set up offices and rest places everywhere, open doors everywhere, build value houses, where Build a soaking pond. And so on.
Draw the blueprints, go to the site to compare them, discuss with Hu Ling, Uncle Ruan Gui, Li Zheng, etc., revise the drawings, try to be as comprehensive as possible, and start work without any omissions.
Anyway, there is plenty of time!
Don't panic in terms of manpower, and it will definitely be done before the busy autumn harvest. Building materials such as bricks, tiles, wood and stones are not in a hurry. People from Zaihu Village have come forward to help. It is very convenient and trouble-free to buy these things, and they can also get a very suitable price.
In the middle of the night, every household in the village was sleeping soundly, when suddenly there was a shrill scream that soared into the sky, startling the dogs of the dog owners in the village to bark wildly, and countless people were woken up by disturbing their dreams.
"what happened?"
"What happened?"
Many people lay on the bed and listened attentively, terrified, and many people simply put on their clothes and got out of bed, went out, and followed the direction of the screams.
I ran into neighbors on the road, and everyone was a little bit more courageous, talking and walking together.
It was Zhao's yard that made the shriek.
At this time, the Zhao family had opened the courtyard door, lit oil lamps and fir tree torches filled with fat and burned for a long time.
When everyone arrived, Zhao Xiang, Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Widow Qu were tying up people.
Bundled with hemp rope thick as a thumb, there are six young men on the ground who are 17 or 18, and the maximum is no more than 234. Their mouths are all stuffed with straw balls. Come, woo woo woo, struggling desperately, but unable to speak.
"This is-"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this!
Zhao Xianghong cupped his hands at everyone, "Please be a witness, neighbors, these thieves sneaked into our house at night over the wall, trying to steal. People in our house are timid, and most of them have no strength, so they have been very nervous all the time. Be careful, because you are afraid that you will be missed by thieves. No, there is a layer of thorns under the wall in the yard every night. These people don’t know it. They were all injured when they jumped off, so we took it down.”
Everyone looked, and by the light of the fire, they saw the thorn bushes laid under the inner wall of the courtyard. Imagining the scene after jumping from such a high wall, they couldn't help their scalp numb and hissed.
"My God, this is too miserable!"
"Huh, you deserve it!"
"Yes, you deserve it!"
"Thanks to the Zhao family being cautious, otherwise wouldn't it be too bad? My family has to be more careful in the future."
"Yes"
The Gu family also came, and they were dizzy with anger when they heard Zhao Xiang's narration and accusation.
The Zhao family is really sick, right? Who would go to the trouble of spreading a layer of thorns under the walls in the entire yard at night? They can't possibly know that someone is coming tonight, which means they do it every night! Are you sick? How sick!
There are also these people who boast so much that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth, and they pat their chests to say that it is a piece of cake, but the result? That's it?
Even if you are pricked by thorns, don’t you have the strength to resist? How could it be so easily tied up?
Mr. Gu naturally wouldn't know that the reason why these people were easily **** was thanks to the easy-to-use Ruanjin powder given by Yu Xiaofang.
Although the name of this medicinal powder is so popular, the effect is really not a joke!
Mr. Gu naturally couldn't let these people fall into the Zhao family's hands so easily, so he stepped forward and said loudly: "These people broke into the Zhao family today, and whoever they will break into tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Yan Village is a threat. I will ask clearly and give everyone an explanation! The second child, the third child, and the rest of you will go over to help and take these people away."
"Slow down!"
It is naturally impossible for the Zhao family to let them take people away so easily.
If these people weren't brought in by the Gu family, they wouldn't believe it if they were killed!
Not only did they think so, I'm afraid that many of the surrounding villagers also knew it, but they dared not say it because of the vicious and domineering Gu family.
Boss Gu's eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, he entangled Zhao Liya tightly, and said coldly: "What do you mean? I have the final say on the affairs of the village."
"But they sneaked into our house, we naturally have the right to deal with it, so let's report to the authorities."
"Hey this—"
The crowd became agitated. As soon as someone opened their mouths, they were interrupted by Boss Gu's cough of "cough, cough!", and Boss Gu sneered: "What are you talking about? You want to report to the authorities?"
"right!"
Boss Gu "haha!" smiled, "If you really want to report to the official, then go ahead. This is even better, I don't have to worry about it. Why don't you go now, and walk to the county town, it's almost the right time."
Zhao Liya thought for a while, discussed with her father and Hu Ling for a while and nodded: "Okay, let's go after we clean up."
Boss Gu glanced at everyone: "It's okay, let's go."
Everyone dared not listen to him, and soon left.
Before some left, they looked at the Zhao family members a little hesitant to speak, but they were obviously afraid of Boss Gu, and no one dared to say anything.
Boss Gu said coldly: "This matter is related to the safety of the entire Yan Village. I will go to the county seat with you, and I will not be relieved until I see you enter the county seat with my own eyes."
Zhao Liya smiled: "Okay!"
She said with a smile that was not a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so caring!"
Boss Gu snorted coldly and ignored her at all.
Zhao Liya didn't care, and soon, the whole family was tidied up, Zhao Liya, Zhao Xiang, and Hu Ling went to the county town with the thieves who had been bundled into rice dumplings and gagged.
It’s midnight, and the rooster has already crowed. Although the eastern sky has not yet lit up, the Venus hangs low, and the silver light is deserted. Obviously, it is estimated that it is past four o’clock at this time, and the sky will soon will gradually brighten.
In addition to the fact that there was just such a commotion in the village, it was expected that the Gu family would not do anything else at this time, so Zhao Liya and the others felt relieved to leave.
Walking unhurriedly all the way, when I saw the high city wall of the county town from a distance, the sky gradually became brighter.
Brother Gu did not leave, but watched Zhao Liya and the others leave.
After confirming that they entered the city, the brothers left.
Gu Lao Er gloated: "These idiots really think they are something! This time they are the ones to suffer."
Boss Gu: "Smartness is misunderstood by cleverness. Don't they think they are smart? Hah!"
When a criminal sues a good citizen, no matter whether it is justified or not, he must first be hit with a 30-big killing stick. If the final verdict is a false accusation, he will be imprisoned for three months.
The Zhao family probably never dreamed of such a rule, right? Otherwise, the reporter wouldn't talk about it.
