Ma Tianlai was dragged and thrown outside by Shen Wei. Shen Wei looked at him coldly, "Come here, tie this guy up and send him to the square. Your Majesty will order his head to be beheaded!"
"Yes!" Although everyone didn't understand what was going on, the Qilin Guards were not used to this matter. They took the rope and tied Ma Tianlai up. Ignoring his cries, they directly pulled him towards the square!
Shen Wei looked at the people outside, "Does anyone know where this official's home is?"
A man in the crowd raised his hand "I know!"
"Please show me the way!" Shen Wei said very politely.
"No problem. This guy usually treats us very harshly. I already dislike him! Come with me!" The villager led Shen Wei towards Ma Tianlai's home.
Shen Wei turned to look at the Qilin Guards and said, "Twenty people come with me!"
"Yes!" Twenty Qilin guards immediately followed Shen Wei. How big can a village be? After walking less than two hundred steps, they arrived at Ma Tianlai's home. The villagers pointed to the door with two stone lions at the door. " This is Ma Tianlai’s home!”
Shen Wei looked at the stone lion at the door with disdain in his eyes, "How dares a small seventh-grade county magistrate to place a stone lion at the door? How outrageous! Go in!"
"Yes!" The Qilin Guards didn't knock on the door. The three of them slammed the door hard with a loud bang. The door opened and everyone poured in!
At this time, a woman about thirty years old walked out of it. She had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a pair of small eyes. She looked mean and mean. "You are brave. Do you know where this is? You dare to break in? You don't want to live anymore." ?"
Shen Wei came over and said, "Is this Ma Tianlai's house?"
"You know, why don't you get out of here right away?" the woman screamed!
Shen Wei snorted coldly, "Catch him and gag him, his voice is too ugly!"
"Yes!" Two Qilin Guards came over and wanted to arrest someone, but the woman was still very angry. She showed her Nine-Yin White Bone Claw and grabbed one of the Qilin Guards on the back of his hand. Four blood marks instantly appeared on his arm!
When the Qilin Guard saw that it was okay, he was not polite and kicked him out. The woman's body flew out in an instant, like a baseball that was thrown out. After hitting the wall, she didn't recover for a long time. gas!
Does Qilin Guard care about her? He grabbed her directly, tied her up with a rope, tore off a piece of her clothes, stuffed it directly into her mouth, and the woman was taken away!
The Qilin Guards entered the mansion and started a search. In the end, they captured a total of sixteen people including family members and servants. Not to mention anything else, this horse was really capable of giving birth to three children in total. The oldest was fifteen years old and the youngest was seven. age! Caught them all!
Huangli Village was bustling now. The county magistrate and his family were arrested, and they heard that they were going to be beheaded. This caused a sensation in the whole village. Everyone came to see the fun, but Ma Tianlai and his family were all tied up. Throw it onto the square.
When Zhao Mingqing came to the square, he saw three floors inside and three floors outside. There were almost a thousand villagers. Zhao Mingqing was very polite, "Everyone, give me a chance, let me in!"
When everyone saw that the official was coming, they immediately got out of the way. Zhao Mingqing walked into the square. Looking at Ma Tianlai again, his face was as gray as a dead person, and his wife was still angry there. Seven of them were dissatisfied and eight of them were dissatisfied. Unhappy, a pair of small eyes stared at Zhao Mingqing, his mouth was blocked and he screamed!
Zhao Mingqing snorted coldly and opened her mouth, "I want to see what she has to say?"
"Yes!" Shen Wei reached out and opened the woman's mouth.
Just as he pulled the cloth away, he heard the woman shout loudly, "Who do you think you are? How dare you arrest me? Do you know who my cousin is?"
"Oh? I didn't see it, but he has a background. So tell me, who is your cousin? It scared me to see if he could fly!" Zhao Mingqing said with a sneer.
"My cousin is the prefect of Shaoyang Prefecture, a dignified fourth-grade official. If you want to live, let me go quickly!" the woman screamed loudly.
Zhao Mingqing turned to look at Shen Wei. Shen Wei burst out laughing. The other Qilin Guards also started laughing, and then thousands of officers and soldiers also laughed. The scene was a bit ridiculing!
When the woman heard this, she thought to herself: Why are all these people laughing? How is this going? Something felt wrong in my heart: "You...why are you laughing?"
Zhao Mingqing stopped laughing and turned to look at Shen Wei, "No wonder you are so arrogant. It turns out there is someone in the housekeeper! Remember what she said, and remind me when you finish your work and return to the capital. I will go to the emperor to read a copy of him!" "
"Yes!" Shen Wei lowered his head and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground. "I just didn't have time to introduce you to you. This is the left minister of the Ministry of War at that time, Lord Zhao Mingqing. He is a third-rank official! And this one!"
Shen Wei pointed at Li Hanrui, "He is a second-rank general in the current dynasty. Who is not more senior than your cousin? How can you have the face to scream again!"
"Me? This...?" The woman was dumbfounded when she heard this. She didn't expect to meet a bigger official today, and her expression changed instantly!
"You still don't know why you are being arrested, do you? It's very simple. In order to deprive the government of the relief money sent to the disaster area, your husband Ma Tianlai broke the only bridge in order to get the funds to repair the bridge, blocked the relief team, and demanded Imperial officials, this is a serious crime that has implicated the nine clans, and you will all be punished on the spot today! Do you have anything to say?" Shen Wei shouted loudly.
The woman panicked for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know about this! It was all done by him and has nothing to do with me!"
"It has nothing to do with you, but do you know what the nine implicated tribes are? Come, prepare for execution!" Shen Wei shouted.
"Yes!" More than a dozen Qilin guards came out, showing the swords on their waists, and they all stood beside Ma Tianlai and his family.
"Cut!" Following Shen Wei's command, a dozen Qilin guards raised their knives and dropped their swords. A dozen heads fell to the ground in an instant, and blood spurted out more than a meter away!
Everyone was desperately trying to deliver goods to the disaster area, but someone actually blocked the team in such a bad way. It was really abominable! The moment these dozens of heads fell, everyone felt a breath of evil in their hearts!
Zhao Mingqing stood on the square and gave a fist to all the villagers. "Dear villagers, we are a team going to the disaster area to deliver life-saving food, but now the only bridge you have out of the village has been smashed. I wonder who has a way to help us?"
"Now people in the disaster area are starving to death every day. If we arrive one day earlier, they will have life-saving meals one day earlier. I beg everyone, who has any idea? Please come out and speak out?" Zhao Mingqing shouted.
After all the villagers heard this, everyone understood in their hearts, but building a bridge is not something ordinary people can do! Everyone was talking about it, no one knows this?
Shen Wei sighed, "It would be great if the young master were here at this time. He is smart and must have a way!"
When Zhao Mingqing heard this, he didn't frown. He thought that that bastard was far away in Hangzhou, and the day lilies would be cold by the time he came! This is how to do?
Just when Zhao Mingqing was worried, a man came to Zhao Mingqing: "Sir, I remember there was an old man in our village. His name is Cao Liangcai. He was a very good carpenter when he was young. I heard that he also built bridges. How about we go there?" Please ask the old man?"
"Okay, where is this old man's home?" Zhao Mingqing was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.
"Not far, right over there, we'll be there as soon as we say it!" Everyone followed Zhao Mingqing and rushed to Cao Liangcai's house!
When I came outside the yard, I saw a yard built with wooden stakes. There were some free-range chickens running around in the yard! Zhao Mingqing knocked on the door, "Old man, are you at home? May I ask?"
It was not long before I saw an old man in his seventies walking out. He was wearing a gray-blue coat, his clothes were all patched, and his head was full of white hair. Although he seemed to be quite old, he was still energetic. They are very full, they are all farmers, and their bodies are quite strong!
When the old man opened the door and took a look, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. He saw hundreds of people surrounding him outside and wondered what was going on. Why did so many people come suddenly? Seeing an imposing man in front of me, I asked, "Are you looking for me?"
Zhao Mingqing nodded politely, "Old man, I'm here to help you!" Zhao Mingqing didn't waste any time and said everything in one breath. "Now we are all in a hurry to deliver supplies to the disaster area. Can you help us at the end of the village?" Build a bridge there!”
When the old man heard this, his face was full of sorrow, "Oh, my lord, how can building a bridge be so easy? This horse is so wicked, how can he do such a thing?"
"Who says it's not the case? We have no other way now, so you have to think of a way anyway!" Zhao Mingqing said.
Everyone asked the old man to help find a solution. After hearing this, Cao Liangcai sighed, "It's a bit difficult to build a bridge, but if you go over and make a temporary wooden bridge, you can give it a try!" "
When Zhao Mingqing heard that the old man had a solution, he immediately smiled and said, "Sure, old man, if you have a solution, it would be great! What do we do?"
Cao Liangcai looked at the east end of the village with a thoughtful look on his face, "We need people for this matter. How many people do you have?"
"two thousand!"
"That's it, no need! Listen to me, sir. The bridge at the end of the village is three feet long, about ten steps. There is a century-old tree in the woods to the east of our village. Now in order to save people, we don't care about anything else. You Go and have this tree cut down and carried back!" Cao Liangcai said.
"This? I want to ask, that villager knows this tree and can help my men lead the way!" Zhao Mingqing shouted.
"Everyone knows this, I will lead the way!" said a man.
"Sure! Li Hanrui, take the people and go do it immediately!" Zhao Mingqing said.
"yes!"
"Wait a minute, although this tree is important, we still need to embrace twenty big trees and bring them back together!" Cao Liangcai said.
"Did you hear that?" Zhao Mingqing asked.
"It's clear, I'll go right away!" Li Hanrui took off his armor and started looking for someone to cut wood on the mountain!
Cao Liangcai looked at the people in the village, "Don't be idle, everyone. It's an urgent matter. Anyone who has a carpenter or an ax or a sickle at home can come and help!"
"Okay!" The villagers supported the team that was transporting the money. Every household sent someone to help, and this huge project began to get busy.
Li Hanrui led 500 people to cut wood on the mountain, and then used dozens of horses to transport it back. Cao Liangcai came to the broken bridge and looked at it. He sighed, "Dozens of people came and smashed the remaining broken bridge here. One If you don’t stay, dig out a downward slope under your feet!”
There were a lot of people. Dozens of people took out hammers and axes and smashed the remaining bridge heel, smashing all the stones and wooden piles on it. Then they used shovels to angle it downhill. Li Changlin gave the order to smash the other side as well. Then dig out an uphill angle, and now the entire river forms an inverted trapezoid!
After the wood was brought back, everyone took a look and said, "Hey guys, this big tree is only one foot in diameter. It is a century-old tree. Such a big tree should not be sawed off if it was not to save people." Li Changlin immediately Ordered to saw every one foot, a total of three sections were needed!
Everyone began to saw the wood. After the wooden piers with three sections, one foot long and one foot thick were sawed, Li Changlin led others to cut off all the branches outside the three wooden piers, and dug out a one-meter-diameter wooden pier in the center. Hole, no one knows why, and no one dares to ask!
At the same time, other villagers were asked to cut off all the outer branches of the twenty relatively thin trees they had just brought back, and then split them in half from the middle. Hundreds of people began to get busy.
After finishing the work, Li Changlin ordered all three large wooden piers to be pushed into the river. The three wooden piers were lined up on this side. Each wooden pier was one foot in diameter. When three of them were put together, they were three feet tall, and the middle The large hole with a diameter of one meter can allow water to pass through smoothly!
Although Cao Liangcai later asked people to fill the area between the wooden piers on both sides and the river bank with gravel and soil, and then compacted it with wooden piles and boulders. After everything was done, several shapes of the wooden bridge were also formed, and then twenty large wooden bridges were laid out. Split the tree in the middle, take the most obvious part in the middle, and nail rows on the three wooden piers!
