Crossing with Baidu To Farm

Vol 4 Chapter 16: Write a review!

"If this river is open, thousands of people will die?"

Xia Jinhua and Sikong Jue rushed to the scene immediately and saw the stone tablet immersed in the rotten shipwreck. It seemed to be a long time ago.

There used to be an ancient river channel, and a merchant ship sank here. Later, after the river was diverted, the ancient river channel dried up and became a low-lying place. It was not until the recent excavation of the canal that the sunken ship was seen again.

The sunken ship has been almost decayed, and many of its things have been lost, but this stone tablet is the only one left.

A merchant ship with a stone tablet for what?

There must be fraud!

Looking at the content, I knew that someone was blocking the canal.

The ancients were always in awe of unknown ghosts and gods, and they were terrified of the appearance of the stone tablet.

It was too late to want to block the news. The matter spread around the canal construction site, and almost all the workers were discussing it in private.

Some people say that cultivating this canal is a taboo, and those who participate in this canal will definitely suffer great murder.

Some people say that the evildoer has been dug out in the canal, and the evildoer must eat a thousand people before giving up.

There are different opinions, and there is no unified statement, but everyone has a sense of fear about the canal, and the rumors are getting worse. There are even groups of workers who offer to resign.

Sikong Jue stepped forward, looked at the stone tablet again and again, and suddenly sneered, "The means are too low-level."

The North Pole also laughed: "Sikongnan has used this method to frame the boss, but Sikongnan's method is obviously much higher than this person."

It is not uncommon in history for such a warning to drop a stone tablet from the sky. When Xia Jinhua knew that the female emperor Wu Zetian was a talented person, there was a similar warning, which made Wu Zetian almost die.

When Sikong Jue was still the prince, the late emperor accidentally broke into a cave while hunting. Inside the cave, on the stone wall, there were several fonts that no one knew.

The first emperor felt that it was very strange, so he rubbed the font and took it back to the palace for research, but found that it was a popular text in the Central Plains thousands of years ago.

It pointed directly at the seventh prince at that time, Sikong Jue.

Moreover, at that time, Sikong Jue was returning from the barbarians, and he won the battle. He was in control of the military.

He couldn't help but be suspicious of Sikong Jue.

Sikong Jue stroked the stele and said with a smile, "The stele is well made, but the font is unremarkable. The shipwreck happened hundreds of years ago, but the text on this stele is a new language commonly used in the Central Plains."

The history of that text is certainly not that of the sinking captain.

But the onlookers who don't know the truth don't pay attention to the truth. They only know that there is a bad omen from the sky. If the canal is repaired, the gods will be angry, and if they are angry, they will kill people.

Sikong Jue took the stele back and guarded it strictly. The next order should have been to block the news, but he didn't block it either, letting people talk about it casually.

Sometimes, the more blocked it is, the more guilty one appears to be.

The next day, they still went to work as normal. Sikongjue and Xia Jinhua were both supervising the construction site during this period of time. Murong Yan of Yancheng was also there, so was the magic stick.

"Master, look at what happened last night, what happened?" Murong Yan asked the **** stick.

The **** stick pretended to look at the canal project site from a distance, and said inexplicably: "The secret must not be leaked."

Murong Yan lowered her head and smiled, and there seemed to be some dazzling stars in her eyes, but the magic stick never saw it.

The matter of the stele was solved very simply. Sikong Jue ordered the stele to be placed in the place where many workers were working every day, so that everyone could watch.

The stone tablet was very mysterious to everyone at first, but when people looked at it every day, it no longer felt mysterious. Even everyone began to think that the magical power it carried was gone, so there was no so-called sense of fear. .

No matter how mysterious things are, if you look at them every day, the mystery will disappear.

Over time, everyone stopped taking it seriously and continued to do their own work, and the stone tablet was always placed on the construction site.

The person responsible has never been found out. There are people coming and going on the construction site, and the personnel are complicated. There are refugees from the three countries, and there are also locals from nearby villages and towns. It is really difficult to investigate. The person has also been checked many times, and there is no suspicion of committing the crime.

The matter of the stele was revealed just like that. Everything was business as usual at the construction site, there was enough food, and the temporary prefab house was enough, and the wages were paid.

Six days of work, one day off, and gifts for Chinese New Year and festivals, such a good city lord will never be found in this world.

Everyone continued to work in peace.

But there are always people who don't want the construction site to live in peace. Half a month after the stone tablet time passed, one night, the wooden house where the workers lived suddenly caught fire.

The fire was soaring into the sky, it seemed that the sky fire came down, and the residential area of ​​the migrant workers was set on fire in an instant.

Now is the time when the sky is dry and the things are dry. As soon as the fire burns, the house next to it will be implicated in a while, and half of the sky has been burned red after half an hour.

The workers were awakened and rushed out to put out the fire. In the middle of the night, the construction site was very lively.

Busy until dawn, the fire was finally put out, but the fire was too fierce. The construction site was full of wooden furniture, and the water came slowly. As soon as the fire burned, it almost burned a large Row of houses.

The shirtless workers worked all night to put out the fire, but the house was also burnt down, and the few remaining belongings were naturally gone.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, and as soon as the fire was discovered, everyone evacuated in time.

When it was dawn, Xia Jinhua inspected the scene, and the fire started in one of the very ordinary wooden houses.

There were eight people living in the room, all on bunk beds. All eight people escaped, but there were no casualties, but the place where they lived for more than half a month was gone.

The fire came so strangely, when I asked the eight people, they all said that they slept soundly. When they woke up, they found that the room was on fire, and everyone rushed out together.

The Arctic survey site found the fire and the smell of kerosene.

This is definitely a case of deliberate arson!

The eight people were quarantined and examined, and they were all refugees from Aolai Country. There was nothing suspicious. Now in Aolai Country, people from the Tang sect incited an uprising, a war broke out, and a large number of people Displaced and fled to Tanzhou, they are one of the group. In order to facilitate management, people in a region are managed in a centralized manner, living together, and assigning a manager to jointly manage.

These eight people are all with small families, and they are all helpless in Chanzhou. Fortunately, Xiacheng dug a canal and gave them a place to live. If not, they must be living on the streets now.

These people really have no motive.

The review could not yield results, so they were all put back.

The canal was a big deal, so the project couldn't be stopped because of a fire. The canal continued to be excavated the next day, and many of the workers whose houses were burned down temporarily lived in sheds.

But among the workers, there were new rumors.

It was a fire, and God didn't want this canal to be built!

The sky fire and the stone tablet are both warnings. If you continue to dig, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as burning the house, and it is very likely that people will die!

This canal, if a thousand people die, I am afraid that it will not be dug well!

Immediately, there was another panic, and strikes began to appear.

Xia Jinhua knew that the man in the dark had this idea.

The water leaking thing has passed, and the person who started it has not been found out. The new wooden house was built again, and all the workers went to work as usual, but everyone was a little worried. on the head.

The workers were afraid that their work efficiency was naturally not high. There was often laziness on a large scale, and even the supervisors were mentally empty.

This kind of situation continued for a few days, and the leaders of Xiacheng and Yancheng were not seen to refute the rumors.

The canal project is divided into several parts, large and small. The leaders of Xiacheng and Yancheng are stationed separately, and they will meet together for a few days to report the progress.

Sikong Jue and Xia Jinhua usually guard the two construction sites separately. Murong Yan and Murong Ge of Yancheng guard the two sites respectively.

After the stele and the water, the night patrols of several construction sites have been strengthened at the same time.

However, the stele and the running water happened on two different construction sites. The investigation has never been described. There was no monitoring in ancient times. There were many people on the construction site and it was complicated.

When that kind of thing happened, people at several construction sites began to panic, especially the construction site that didn't have an accident. They always felt that the next moment, bad things would happen to them.

A few days later, on the construction site of Matou Village, it was midnight.

At this time, everything was quiet, and the laborers who had been busy all day had already fallen asleep, snoring one after another, and yawning among the occasional patrols.

A few figures took advantage of the night to escape from the workshop and went to a place guarded by heavy soldiers.

That place, even in the middle of the night, is heavily guarded, and the guards are constantly coming and going. If you approach, you will be discovered immediately.

That is the granary of the construction site. Each construction site has a granary. It is the most important place on the construction site and is heavily guarded day and night.

Those few people never approached, but just dug on the ground for a while, dug out a few bows and arrows in the dark, took out thick strings from their arms, put them on the bows, and they became powerful bows and arrows.

Several people took out several small bottles, each took a bottle, and then dispersed.

Those people were obviously well-trained and strong, and after a while, they separated a few points and surrounded the granary.

Seeing everyone shooting arrows with bows, the small bottle just now hung on the arrows.

The first arrow shot out quickly, but the arrow was lit on fire, the tip of the arrow flew out, and just landed in the granary, and the bottle hanging on the arrow also went away, with the tip of the arrow The huge collision caused by the insertion, the bottle shattered, and liquid flowed out of the bottle. When the liquid caught fire, it became a wave of fire almost instantly.

It turned out that the bottle was actually kerosene!

After that arrow, according to the original plan, other people's arrows should also be dispatched, but the person who fired the first arrow waited in the darkness for a while, but no other person shot the arrow.

what happened?

The man suddenly felt bad, threw the bow, and was about to flee, but when he looked back, he found that there were already many people standing behind him, all of them had green faces in camouflage, and the leader was holding a fat and strong man. wolf.

The leader smiled and said, "It can be said that you have been caught."

It was the new foreman, who was said to be Lei and God.

The five dogs in Thor's hands pounced on him, and his huge body pounced on the man. The man was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and almost fainted when he saw such a big wolf rushing towards him.

After a while, several other people were also caught, tied with ropes into a string, and sent to the crowd to be released.

Lei Shen led the five dogs to interrogate, but the first few people were bitten to death, saying that Yancheng sent them to make trouble.

This is too obvious to sow discord. How could Thor get in the way? But obviously, those people are trained experts. Even if they are tortured to extort confessions, they will not let go. Thor directly used the low cost and high cost of Xia Jinhua's 'invention'. The waterboarding in return, those few people are considered recruits.

It turned out to be sent by Broken City!

It is indeed a city break!

In fact, everyone had already begun to suspect that Duancheng was the cause. Besides Duancheng, Yancheng and Xiacheng had no other common enemies.

After interrogation, several people revealed their plans and details. Several construction sites had their people lurking. They forged the stele and set the fire. Several construction sites went their separate ways and tried to destroy the construction of the canal.

But in the other construction sites, they didn't know who was the undercover agent of Duancheng. The city owner of Duancheng sent them out in batches, and they had no contact with each other, let alone the identity of each other.

This Matou Village is Xiacheng's site. The next day, Sikong Jue came from other construction sites, and Thor sent those people to him to deal with.

Thor reported their confessions to Sikong Jue, and a few people knelt in front of the hall and let them fall.

After listening for a long time, Sikong Jue asked the first sentence: "How was the loss last night?"

Thor said: "My subordinates knew that their next target would definitely be the granary, so they kept sending people to guard them and caught these people on the spot. The fire was contained immediately, but there was no loss."

"Well," Sikong Jue nodded and said again, "Show me their attendance sheet."

The so-called attendance sheet was also invented by Xia Jinhua. The names of the workers were registered into a table, ten workers were divided into groups, and the team leader was selected. When the workers went to get off work in the morning and at night, they went to the team leader to sign.

Many workers are illiterate, so they are naturally taught to write their names on the construction site.

Sikong Jue looked at the attendance sheets of those people. They came when they were recruiting workers in the canal. They had been working for almost two months. Anomalies are found only if they are ordinary laborers.

After watching it for a while, the surrounding atmosphere froze for a while. Several spies in the hall broke out in cold sweat. Sikongjue's notoriety has spread far and wide. As soon as Hui Sikongjue opened his mouth, his life would be worse than death.

But seeing that Sikong Jue looked at the attendance sheet for a while, put it down, and looked at the few kneeling people with deep eyes, his eyes were neither cold nor angry, very plain.

Under those unhappy and unhappy gazes, the spies were almost so frightened that they were so timid that they wet their pants.

Sikong Jue was silent for a while before speaking: "It's nothing bad."

They are lurking in, naturally they must be obedient, and dare not let people find flaws.

Sikong Jue pointed to the person who took the lead in shooting arrows and asked, "Are you literate?"

The leader was stunned, raised his head to look at him, and nodded blankly: "Knowledge."

Sikong Jue threw a stack of rice paper from the table at hand, and the majestic internal force accurately sent the light paper to the leader. The strength of that internal force, this kind of internal force, placed in the martial arts of Chanzhou, it is also first-class, and suddenly my heart trembled, and I was almost fainted on the spot by fright.

Another light-hearted word came, and Sikong Jueren got up and left.

"Everyone wrote me a review letter of no less than 800 words, explaining your crimes clearly, kneeling on the construction site and reciting for one day, and going to work on time the day after."

The spies were stunned and looked up at him.

Shouldn't they be beheaded for public display? Even if it wasn't beheading to the public, it should have been beaten.

Sikong Jue was already far away, and Thor looked at them coldly. Seeing that they were still kneeling, he said angrily, "Didn't you hear what the city lord said? Write me a review!"

Wugouzi also howled, and the spy leader trembled with fright, and said shiveringly: "Dare to ask what the review book is?"

...

So, Thor supervised the group of five or six spies for most of the day, urging them to write the review book.

The next day, when everyone got up early to go to work, they saw several people kneeling on the construction site, reading the review book loudly.

"Review. I am xx, male, 21 years old, from Duancheng City, as the captain of the guard team of the Duancheng City Lord's Mansion. I was ordered by the Duancheng City Lord to sneak into the Yanxia Canal on the xth day of the x year. The purpose of the construction site in the village section was to destroy the construction of the canal. On the evening of the **** month, **** and others attempted to burn down the grain and grass storehouses, in an attempt to create public opinion and cause panic at the construction site. The canal project was interrupted. Under the teachings, I feel deep remorse and self-blame for my actions. I hope everyone can give me another chance. I promise that I will never do anything wrong again. I will work **** the construction site and work diligently until the canal project is completed. …”

On the same day, in the canal construction site, several people took turns reading the review book for a whole day, and everyone listened to it for a whole day. , The whole construction site was lively all day.

Only just now did people know that it turned out to be the conspiracy of the city lord of Broken City!

It's abominable!

Those spies read the review book for one day, their voices hoarse, and the next day, they were picked up by Thor again to work.

This time, they were assigned to work in the most demanding places, with fewer breaks, more work, and no pay.

Those people also bit out more than a dozen city-broken spies lurking in the construction site one after another, all of which were organized by Thor into a special labor group, who worked every day amid the scolding and scolding of the crowd. Thor personally supervised, and one of them also Can't escape.

The dozen or so people have been detained at the construction site and used as free labor, and they were not released back to Duancheng until the canal was built.

I thought they would be beheaded when they were caught, but I didn't expect Sikong Jue to save their lives. All the people said that the city owner of Xiacheng is really a bodhisattva!

The perpetrators were also caught in several other construction sites.

The person who forged the stone tablet as a warning was found by Xia Jinhua early in the morning. No matter how well that person was hiding, he couldn't escape the nose of Sangouzi. The person who put the stone tablet could be found along the stone tablet.

Xia Jinhua personally supervised the construction site and kept watch over the person who put the stone tablet. When he thought the limelight was over and started to commit crimes again, he was captured on the spot.

The handling method is similar to that of Sikongjue, the only difference is that the review letter requested by Xia Jinhua is more than 1,500 words...

Murong Yan and Shenbang worked together to capture the spy lurking in their construction site. According to what Xia Jinhua said, write a review book, read it on the construction site for a day, and then detain him as a coolie.

There were nearly ten construction sites, and three or four groups of spies were arrested. There were as many as seventy to eighty people, and all of them became free laborers.

A special meeting was held at each site.

The conference is organized by the heads of the various construction sites, and each person in charge has a speech in his hand.

"The Yanxia Canal is a major plan for the people's livelihood in our two cities. After the canal is completed, it will not only bring more wealth to the people of Yanxia and Xia, but also divert the water from the canal to irrigate crops during the rainy season. , is the destiny, and will definitely not give up halfway because of the interference of some evil forces..."

"We know that there are a lot of underworld forces lurking in this construction site. They are always preparing to disrupt the order of the construction site, trying to make the canal project impossible..."

"We are aware of the existence of these people, and we even know where you are lurking, but the two cities of Yanxia and Xia are based on the purpose of being kind to others. If you dare to step beyond the pond, you will definitely not tolerate it!"

...

The workers suddenly realized that it was the truth of the matter!

What's even more angry is that the person behind the trouble is still in this construction site, and he can't help but hate the evil forces behind it, but he admires the "benevolence and righteousness" of Yanxia and Xiacheng even more, and is more motivated.

In addition, the conference also let everyone know that anything that happens in the construction site in the future must be manipulated by evil forces with bad intentions, and everyone must not believe it.

There are indeed people with ulterior motives lurking in the construction site that have not been caught. After this time, those people no longer dared to act rashly. On the one hand, the defense in the construction site is tighter, and the workers are more vigilant. On the other hand, even if something was done, no one would believe in the nonsense of 'If this river opens, thousands of lives will come'.

Before they were discovered, many spies packed up their bags and got out of the way. If they were caught, they would write a self-criticism and read it for half a day.

It's a trivial matter to poke the spine, and it's a miserable thing to be detained as a free laborer.

The construction site was quiet, and everyone started working together again to try to dig the canal before the rainy season next year.

The construction of several sections of the canal was completed, the construction site was pulled up to the next section of the river, and the laborers followed suit. Sikong Jue once again 'fighted the dragon' and bombed a mountain again. Everyone saw the unparalleled power and unswerving. He believed that Sikongjue was a man from heaven, and he didn't dare to resign from his job again. The progress of the canal was much better than expected.

Xia Jinhua and Sikongjue were working in two canals respectively. Sikongjue had to go back to the city lord's mansion to deal with some things, inspect the construction of the workshop, and read the documents sent from Panlongguan. He could only see his house on holidays. On the one hand, Mrs., she had suffocated him, so she hoped that the canal could be completed as soon as possible, so as to isolate the pain of lovesickness.

It was the so-called 'Sunday' on Xia Jinhua's calendar again. The construction site was on holiday, and Si Kongjue rode his horse to Xia Jinhua's place early in the morning. Now in the north, it can be snowed in winter, but the south is cool at best. .

When I saw Xia Jinhua, she was working hard in the house. The houses near the construction site were all rented out as workshops. The expert foreman and the person in charge lived here, and the rest of the workers had to live in temporary prefabricated houses.

Xia Jinhua lived in a small hunter's house in the mountains, and lived with the female guards such as Huluwa. When Sikong Jue came, he saw that she and the experts of the Green Army's blasting team were studying something.

The blasting team is an important department in the canal project. Many places have to use rubble to excavate. The blasting team has a heavy task and has been busy recently.

As soon as Sikongjue came, Xia Jinhua couldn't wait to introduce to him the new things he made.

Seeing that there was a small iron shell in her hand, a long bar with a lead at one end, shining a black light.

Xia Jinhua enthusiastically introduced to Sikong Jue, "This is called thunder."

She demonstrated it to Sikong Jue and saw that she pulled the lead and slammed the thing on her head, and threw it out fiercely. Her arm strength was considered extremely strong, and the thing was thrown all the way.

I only heard the sound of 'bang', and the thing just exploded, causing the grass and trees to fly, and the smoke of gunpowder everywhere.

Sikong Jue stood up, afraid of the dirt on his body, and said, "Is this something you used before?"

Xia Jinhua nodded happily, that thunderbolt was actually a grenade.

Many people think that grenades are modern weapons, but it is not the case. According to historical records, in the Song Dynasty thousands of years ago, records about 'Tiantianlei' have already appeared, which is the prototype of the grenade. In the 13th century, there were already records. Iron-shell grenades are almost the same as modern grenades, and the wisdom of the ancient people should not be underestimated.

In this era, there has not been a thunderstorm, and Xia Jinhua can just use it to seize the opportunity.

She also made a lot of them, and excitedly introduced to Sikong Jue: "You can also put poison in this thunderbolt, and the effect will be better after it is blasted."

Sikong Jue weighed the grenade and suddenly smiled.

Some people can just taste the power of this thunder.
