Chapter 178
Xu Yong and the others were dragged to repair the concrete road. When they saw the flat concrete road for the first time, their eyes widened.
This... is also amazing.
The people who brought them to work acted as masters once, proudly showing off, "This is also developed by the Qingping County Lord, and it was only by this merit that he brought the whole family to the emperor's pardon."
Since the arrival of the county head of Qingping, Liangcheng has undergone tremendous changes, and many poor people can have a full meal.
Just repairing the city gate with cement, building roads, and building houses has solved many manpower problems. Everyone is very grateful to the county owner.
Xu Yong looked at each other with complicated expressions.
"How long will this take to fix?"
"The county magistrate of Qingping said that if you want to get rich, you need to build roads first. She meant to build cement roads all over Xiliang."
The main roads in the city and the official roads outside the city have been built with cement roads, which will not be muddy when it rains, and it is convenient to walk.
Xu Yong is so desperate, when will he be repaired?
Busy from morning to night every day, not a moment of leisure, tired is really tired, every night as soon as touch the bed, fall asleep in seconds.
But the food is okay, three meals a day are vegetable meat buns and bone soup.
Moreover, watching the cement road is built little by little, it is very fulfilling.
However, Xu Yong has great ambitions, how can he be willing to build cement roads for the rest of his life?
After working for half a month, it was already the limit, so he fled with his companions.
In the dead of night, a few people sneaked out without knowing it, and ran out a few miles away smoothly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
"Actually, I think it's interesting to build a cement road."
"It's a bit promising, okay? We're people who do big things."
A Jin suddenly said, "If I steal the cement formula, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal?"
Everyone was silent, Xu Yong sighed softly, "It makes sense, but unfortunately, the recipes are all in the hands of the Mu family."
The surname of the man who built the road was Mu, and it goes without saying that he knew that he belonged to Mu Wanqing's clan.
Sets are almost useless.
Wu Ren shook his head, "Forget it, let's run first."
A voice suddenly sounded, "Where are you going?"
"Go..." As soon as Wu Ren turned his head, he was so frightened that he lost his mind, "Ahhh."
A group of officials stood not far away, "Running so slowly, slower than a turtle."
Everyone wanted to cry but was caught.
Some people still want to struggle to the death, "Master, we are going to the... thatched hut. I can't see the road clearly in the middle of the night, and we are going in the wrong direction."
Even if you have walked out of the camp for a few miles, you have to insist on talking nonsense.
"That's right, that's it."
"Idiot." The officials were too lazy to talk to them.
"Take it all away."
Several people screamed in grievances, and the official was very speechless.
After they were done, they threw them at the camp where the cement was being repaired and walked away.
The people knew that they were running away, and their faces were incredible, as if to say, how can there be such a fool?
A few days later, several people's injuries recovered and they began to organize to escape.
However, halfway through, they were stopped again, and they were whipped again and thrown back to the camp.
After repeated cycles, in the end, Xu Yong and the others were completely rotten.
"I want to see the county magistrate."
The official scoffed, "Is the county owner the one you want to see?"
Xu Yong said firmly, "She will definitely meet us."
What he said was firm, not killing them, but pumping them again and again, more like a tame process.
Haven't you seen everyone's ambitions from the beginning, and now they are all discouraged?
"Wait."
Wait, wait, wait for more than half a month, everyone who waited was desperate, and was taken away.
This time, they saluted respectfully, "I have seen the county owner."
Mu Wanqing sat on the main seat without calling out, flipping a pamphlet in her hand, "Xu Yong, the side branch of the Xu family in Liangzhou, the family is rich, his parents are still alive, two brothers and one sister, two years ago with the main branch. The children fought over a prostitute and fell out, and were expelled from the family."
Xu Yong raised his head fiercely, his eyes extremely stunned.
Mu Wanqing continued to recite, "Wu Ren, was born in a wealthy businessman's family. When he was five years old, his father died unexpectedly, and his family fell into a downfall. He was a rascal."
"A-Jin, the son of β‘β‘, his father is ominous, and Wu Ren is inseparable..."
Following her words, Xu Yong's faces became paler and paler, and they were terrified.
Their old bottoms have been turned out, and the investigation is clear.
Mu Wanqing exposed everyone's family background, "I'll give you a chance to tell the truth about what you've done in the past six months."
Gouzi's legs softened and he knelt down for her, "I... didn't do anything, I'm wronged."
Mu Wanqing's brows and eyes were cold, "Pull it out and cut it."
The official came to pull the person immediately, and the dog was so frightened that he hugged the nearest Xu Yong, and refused to let go.
Xu Yong was hugged so tightly that he was about to die. "The county lord spare your life, I said, I'll just say, we are... wanting to sway public opinion."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was surprisingly quiet, and his companions all looked over with disbelief.
How dare you tell the truth? Don't want to live anymore?
However, Mu Wanqing was very calm, as if she had guessed it long ago, "Why did you choose Liangcheng?"
Xu Yong simply smashed the jar and threw it, "The Du family's army has gone to the front line, Liangcheng's defense is empty, Du Shuai has been seriously injured again, and the dragons have no leader..."
Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, "This reason is not enough to convince me."
Xu Yong took a deep breath, who would have thought that he would be planted in the hands of a woman.
"Someone asked us to come to Liangcheng, saying that Liangcheng is the city government of Xiliang, the political and military center, and has a special meaning. No matter how many small towns we win, it is not as meaningful as winning Liangcheng."
Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, "He also said he would help you take down Liangcheng, right?"
Xu Yong's heart skipped a beat. If he hadn't had a bit of rationality, he would have suspected that Mu Wanqing was the mastermind behind this operation. How could she know everything? "β¦β¦Yes."
Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, colluding with each other and using each other, "Who is that person?"
Xu Yong confessed honestly, and he couldn't hide it anyway, "The man was covered with a face towel, and we don't know his origin."
Jiang Tongzhi, who was listening in, was very disappointed, but Mu Wanqing was very indifferent. Since she dared to reach out, she would catch that person sooner or later.
"Just for this, it's a light crime to punish you for treason who has access to a foreign country."
Ah Jin was the first to howl, "Treason? The county magistrate, we were wronged. We really didn't know it was a foreigner."
"Really don't know? Or pretend not to know?" Mu Wanqing's eyes were full of contempt, "During the national disaster, the Du family's army rushed to the front line to fight with blood, and countless hot-blooded men threw their heads and shed their blood to prevent the enemy from stepping into the border. You are guarding this country, guarding the countless people of Qi, but you are stabbing a knife in the back, what is this not a traitor?"
"You all think that you have great ambitions, and you dream of achieving great things, but you don't even have the most basic feelings for your family and country, you are just some careerists who are greedy for profit, and you have high ambitions and self-esteem. Can't go."
Xu Yong and the others couldn't raise their heads when she said that, and their faces turned blue and white.
Their plan was quite thorough, but unfortunately, their opponent was Mu Wanqing.
Liangcheng is Mu Wanqing's territory.
The moment they made their move, Mu Wanqing directly killed them, "Those who regard the common people as fish and meat, even if they are successful for a while, will eventually be liquidated by the common people."
The hearts of several people were shocked, and the scared Suosuo trembled. Is this to liquidate them?
Xu Yong grabbed his palm with his right hand and tried to calm himself down, "County Lord, Xu only wants a chance to commit crimes."
If they didn't want to use them, they would have been dragged out and chopped.
This is their only chance.
Mu Wanqing didn't go around in circles, and directly ordered, "You are very good at deceiving people. Then, go and attract refugees from other places."
"What?" Xu Yong suspected that something was wrong with his ears.
"Bring all the refugees here, how many are there? Liangcheng needs manpower for construction." What Mu Wanqing didn't say was that manpower is also needed to fight wars.
The state of Qi was originally a system of garrisoning troops, the people in leisure time, and the soldiers in wartime.
Xu Yong and the others were dumbfounded, with a look of doubt about life.
"So, we fought for a long time to give you a head?"
They worked so hard just to fulfill Mu Wanqing? Damn, the reality is so cruel, don't want to live anymore, woohoo.
Mu Wanqing looked at them coldly, "It's not that stupid."
Xu Yong didn't understand a bit, "Since you have the intention to take refugees, why don't you make an announcement to the public, as long as there is food, the refugees will flock here."
"Hey." Mu Wanqing looked like an idiot, I don't even want to talk to you, "Lidong, tell them."
Li Dong, who was standing behind her with his hands down, was agitated for a while, but tried his best not to show any traces.
"First of all, there is a tacit understanding between localities and they cannot interfere with the affairs of the other's jurisdiction."
Everyone knows this.
"Secondly, some things can be done silently, but not openly, and the talk will be left behind."
The refugee issue is very sensitive, and there are many contradictions between accepting and not accepting.
"Again, the current situation is turbulent. Once we make an announcement, people will be questioned for bad intentions."
Will it be suspected that it means to act independently? This juncture is too sensitive.
Wu Ren hadn't reacted yet, "But, if we go to bring the refugees, other places will know about it."
Li Dong had a strange look on his face, "You did it. What does it have to do with our county head? What does it have to do with our Liangcheng government? We are forced to accept it, and we want to solve problems for the court."
Xu Yong and the others were stunned. Damn, didn't this make them take the blame? They are restless ambitions, and Mu Wanqing is a good person who saves the suffering?
Wu Ren's whole person is not good, "It's even more shameless than us..."
Mu Wanqing glanced over coldly, "What did you say?"
Wu Ren fought a cold war, and immediately changed his tone, "The county magistrate is wise and wise, I'll wait for the service, we'll do it well, be a cow and a horse for you, saddle before and after."
Come down first, and when he leaves this ghost place, who cares what he does? He is so witty.
He wants to stay away from this devil, and he doesn't want to see her in this life.
Mu Wanqing saw through his mind at a glance and shook her head slightly, wanting to get rid of her control? What are the Spring and Autumn Dreams?
"Then remember your own words. If you dare to play tricks in secret, I will make you regret being born in this world."
"The most difficult thing in this world is not to seek death, but to seek death if you cannot survive." Mu Wanqing raised the information in her hand, with a faint hint of suffocation in her eyebrows, "And I have thousands of ways to rectify you, even if you If you flee to the ends of the earth, you will not be able to escape from the palm of my hand."
Xu Yong and the others were trembling, desperate, helpless, and weak.
