Chapter 81
Si Xiucheng is preparing to draft the report and needs to stay at the post station for a few days.The Ministry of Criminal Justice is still hearing the case and will issue a verdict in the near future.It is said that someone was sentenced to death, and Languang County was in chaos.
Weisheng opened up the second trick in his bag.
Le Zhengying has figured out the timing, he just needs to do it step by step, but some things need to be started in advance.
After watching it for a long time, Weisheng really admired Le Zhengying's intelligence and scheming.Tuanba Tuanba burned the clever plan, and went to the Yamen to find the prefect.
Recently, the prefect was frightened by Jin Yiwei's thunderous tactics. When he heard that Weisheng was coming, he immediately put aside his business and went to entertain him. He was very attentive in serving tea and snacks. There is something I want to tell you, you can do it quickly, it will benefit the country and the people. When I report it to the emperor, it will be considered a political achievement."
The prefect asked respectfully, "I don't know what achievements Mr. Xin is talking about?"
"The Shuhe dam has been built for a long time, and the silt has accumulated. It's time to clear the silt." Weisheng tapped on the table and said in an unquestionable tone, "The whole road is dredged, starting from Huazikou."
The prefect hesitated: "This... river dredging is indeed a good thing that will benefit forever, but it will cost a lot of money."
"At that time, you will find your own way, you just have to do it wholeheartedly."
The prefect didn't dare to be negligent, and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."
Weisheng chatted with him again, and left easily.The next day, all counties in Languang County posted notices to recruit dredging workers, with good remuneration, thousands of places, three days to recruit all, and the next day to start work.
Weisheng calculated the time, um, it was just right.
Just waiting for the birthday of the old lady of the Wu family.
Si Xiucheng concentrated on writing the report, and Jin Yiwei also relaxed and searched restaurants all over the city to have a good time.Cangdoushan rested for several days before he fully regained his energy. The boss gave too many pastries and let Yi Cheng bask in the sun every day to practice, so he lived a leisurely and comfortable life.
The grain merchants probably also felt that the wind had calmed down, and the business continued as usual.The Wu family began to hold birthday banquets with drums and gongs.Coincidentally, a concubine of the eldest son of the Wu family gave birth to twins, and the birthday of the elder of the Wu family happened to be full moon. The full moon wine and the birthday banquet collided with each other, and the joy was added to the joy. Naturally, it was going to be a big one, and the invitations were distributed widely in advance.
Weisheng and Si Xiucheng received the invitation, Si Xiucheng didn't want to go, Weisheng was very interested: "I don't know what else to eat."
Cang Doushan pursed his lips and smiled: "I heard that the Wu family came from the north, and the cook in the family is good at making pasta. Then you can have a good experience."
"Is there any stuffing in it?"
"This...you always want to eat meat!"
The Wu family was a vassal of the Han family, but they had a lot of ostentation. On the day of the birthday banquet, two huge vats were placed at the entrance of the street in front of the house, thousands of taels of silver were invested, and one tael a pack of red paper.Filled with water flush with the mouth of the tank, the water quickly dyed a light red, the Wu family is proud, and the silver placed at the door of the house is picked up casually, and it doesn't cost a penny to eat at the door.
"Too much money is useless." It is impossible for Weisheng to rob others for a few taels of silver, and he looks envious from a distance.There were at least a thousand people around the giant vat, and there was a huge crowd of people, scrambling to get the silver in the vat.The person who had snatched the money walked into the gate of Wu's house with a smile on his face, and the housekeeper raised his voice and shouted: "Today's birthday, everyone is happy! One person is only allowed to get a piece, everyone has a share!"
Really rich.Weisheng sighed, but it was a pity that it would dissipate like smoke in a blink of an eye.
He took Cangdou Mountain into the banquet hall of the Wu family, and inside was a scene of extravagant luxury. The Wu family dug a canal to divert water, and temporarily built a large lake. A floating bridge and floating islands were built on the large lake. One floating island can hold five Eight Immortals tables, and the floating bridge is winding. Folding, connecting the various floating islands, the maid who is as graceful as a fairy wears orchids on her head, and walks past the fragrant wind pavement.There are several artificial giant lotus leaves on the surface of the lake. Musicians and dancers play and sing on the lotus leaves, singing and dancing.There is also a gorgeous painting boat covered with gold pieces, magnificent like a fairy palace, slowly swaying.
"Is that really all gold?" Weisheng was dazzled by the ship, the golden light was shining, and it was full of the smell of copper that made people jealous.
"That's right." The well-informed Cang Doushan was also surprised by this golden painting boat. Such a big boat is covered with gold sheets inside and out, and I don't know how much gold it will cost.
When the silver in the giant tank outside was exhausted, the guests took their seats one after another.The venue gradually quieted down, and the musicians also lowered the tune.
Suddenly the sound of firecrackers was loud, and the fireworks rose into the sky, exploding all over the sky, colorful, overwhelming the stars and the moon.Everyone clapped their hands in admiration, and looked up to watch the fireworks explode one by one.The Wu family set off 280 fireworks, 31 firecrackers in a row, and the sound was as loud as thunder, which lasted for a long time.
"Hey, they're all eating and drinking. It's just the two of us doing this kind of hard work." In the Wu family's other courtyard, the two brothers stood on the cloud platform and scooped out the water in the giant tank bucket by bucket, smelling the wind. The smell of wine and meat made my stomach growl even louder.
"Is there anything you can do, hey. Don't be discouraged, didn't the manager say that? After finishing the work, there will be meat and eggs for supper at night, and you can eat any good dishes left over from the banquet, and you will be paid extra wages, not bad !"
"Also." The boss moved his sore arm and continued to fish.
When the scoop was almost bottomed out, the boss suddenly found something at the bottom of the tank: "Second brother, come over and see what kind of thing it is?"
The second child looked at the mouth of the tank for a while, and exclaimed: "Boss, it's a man! Someone drowned in it, quickly pick him up!"
The boss brought a few bamboo poles with hooks and a fishing net, pulled the corpse out with the fishing net, and put it on the ground. It was a thin and small boy, curled up, as if sleeping in the ice and snow, his body was still soft.The boss straightened his body, saw his mouth was bulging, opened his mouth and said, "Hey, there is a bag of silver in his mouth."
The Wu family only allowed one person to take one bag. The young man was probably greedy. He took one bag into his mouth and jumped into the vat to fish for money. He didn't want the money to go too deep into his throat and block his windpipe, so he just drowned in the huge vat.
The eldest brother wanted to dig out the money, but the second child hit him: "Are you crazy? You dare to take money from a dead person! Aren't you afraid that he will ask for your life?! This child died so pitifully, we just burn paper and pray to him." Hurry up, don't let the manager find out."
The boss is reluctant to part with money, let alone his own life.Under the moonlight, the young man opened his mouth slightly, his eyes were bulging, and he looked really penetrating.The second child covered him with a flowery bed sheet, randomly counted paper money and said obeisance, and muttered a series of things that were none of my business, who should be turned to whom should he turn to.Wrap it in a fishing net and throw it into the ditch.
This canal is the waste soil canal when the Wu family dug the lake, and it is also the canal where the back kitchen dumps garbage. The water is full of chicken feathers, duck feathers, and rotten vegetable leaves. A bloody water is wrapped in garbage, flowing slowly, and finally flows to Shuhe.
During the banquet, the old ladies of the Wu family walked out of the golden light boat one after another, and the concubines pushed out the twin sons who were sleeping in the rocking car.The servant boy took the golden scissors and cut a small triangle on the corner of each person's clothes, preparing to make hundreds of clothes, and saved a basket of rags.When everyone was rejoicing, suddenly a gust of evil wind blew most of the baskets of rags onto the lake, everyone lost their colors and talked a lot.
A giant lotus leaf suddenly moved, drifting slowly towards, covering the lake covered with pieces of cloth, the music changed, beaming with joy and high-pitched passion.Everyone also relaxed, they should eat and drink.
Weisheng gloated: "God can't see the Wu family being so arrogant."
Cangdoushan took a sip of the mushroom soup: "Don't lie about good and bad things."
Hehe, Weisheng picked up a big five-spice pig's trotter with his chopsticks, and started to chew on it.
Beside the Shuhe Dam, workers pulled away truckloads of foul-smelling silt. After several years of repairing the dam, the silt was so deep and thick that it smelled so bad that many people were fumigated. up.
There are also many things in the mud. Those who were lucky found the previous generation of porcelain from the mud, and some people picked up dull gold bracelets, which were golden when they were fried.Therefore, the workers are all motivated, hoping to fish out something good from the mud.
Li San'er is the hardest worker among all the workers, but he can't get anything, which makes the workers laugh at him, saying that next time they get something, they will give it to him directly, and there is no need to work so hard.
"Bah!" Li San'er didn't care about them helping him, he wanted to get something good by himself, so that he could gain prestige.
The mud was poured from the small trolley into the big one. Li Saner scraped the inner wall of the trolley with a bamboo board, but found nothing. Disappointed, he went to push the next trolley. On the way, he tripped over his foot. He thought there was something under his feet. What a good thing, I immediately dig it up excitedly, the workers around found him digging, and joked: "Oh, hard work pays off." Help him dig it up.
The more I dug, the more I felt wrong.
He dug out a long thing and washed it with water: "Oh my god! Dead man!"
Everyone jumped long and looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to move.Li San'er thought that he had dug up Fugui, but never thought that it was a dead body, and his eyes were red.
"What's the matter, what are you doing standing here?" The supervisor strode over and glanced at the black corpse, "Look, you are frightened! Isn't he just a dead man! Every year, the sea in Shu River goes away! I'm afraid What, move away quickly! You, you!" The supervisor ordered two people to move the corpse, and it happened to be on Li San'er's head, and Li San'er felt even more unlucky, so he reluctantly lifted the corpse and dried it in the open space Li San'er accidentally took a few more glances at the open space, and found that the corpse was wrapped in a fishing net, and it didn't smell very bad. He had a bold idea in his heart: this person might not be dead. How long will it be?
The other person who carried the body hurried away as soon as he put it down.Li San'er squatted down and untied the fishing net, and peeled off the messy bed sheet, revealing an immature face with his eyes closed.
The face is still good!Li San'er suddenly became excited, quickly took off the bed sheet and threw it aside. The dead man's clothes smelled not only of corpses, but also of chicken feces. Li San'er searched his pockets, but found nothing. Yes, it seemed to have something in it. I found a branch, pried open my mouth abruptly, held my head up and looked left and right under the moonlight: there was a red paper bag!
Today, Wu's family held a birthday party and set up a vat of heavy silver. Li San'er knew about it. Unfortunately, he went late and couldn't squeeze in. It was almost time to start work, so he came back helplessly. He was still thinking about the longevity silver in his heart. Cheng, what a windfall!He pried his mouth to the maximum, stretched out his hand to hook the red paper bag, but if the hook was not hooked, the red paper bag was pushed deeper and deeper.In a panic, Li San'er used all his strength and almost stuffed his whole hand in. The branch broke suddenly, and the dead man's mouth closed violently.
"Oh my god! Help... help! Help me! Help—"
