"Sir, it's not good!"
Mond started shouting as soon as he entered.
Zhao Hao was sitting in the yard with a confused look on his face, and subconsciously said: "What's wrong?"
"Sir, today I asked someone to go to Daejeon Lingfu to look for Heifu. The person who came back said that he did not find Heifu in Daejeon Lingfu. He wanted to further inquire about Heifu's whereabouts, but the people at Daejeon Lingfu did not let him in at all. .”
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhao Hao was confused and continued to ask: "Did the person who went there say he is mine?"
"I told you!"
Mond sighed: "I also specifically told him not to report to the Tingwei Mansion, but to say that he is yours, Young Master!"
"Hey, this is weird."
Zhao Hao smiled in surprise.
If ordinary people go to Daejeon Lingfu, it is normal for people from Daejeon Lingfu to stop them from entering.
But based on his status in Xianyang, there were very few people who refused to give him face. This time, even though his name was reported, he was actually blocked from entering. It was really unjustifiable.
But Zhao Hao then asked, "Where's Hei Fu's house? Have you sent anyone to check it out?"
"As soon as this happened, I sent someone to Heifu's house, but it turned out that Heifu's house was empty. According to the neighbors next door, Heifu hadn't been home for a long time!"
Although Mond looked panicked, he still told what happened clearly.
However, Zhao Hao did not hesitate at all, and immediately stood up and said to him: "Let's go to Datian Lingfu to see what's going on!"
"Here."
Mond promised.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at Daejeon Lingfu in a carriage.
"You two, stop!"
As soon as they got off the carriage, they were stopped by the guard at the door: "I wonder what happened to the two of you when you came to the Datian Lingfu?"
"Are you blind? I didn't know we were."
"Eh!"
When Mond saw that he and Zhao Hao had visited Datian Lingfu in person, but were actually stopped by the gatekeeper, and the guard didn't even recognize Zhao Hao, his anger suddenly rose.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao stopped him in time and said politely: "I am Zhao Hao, the thirteenth prince. This is Cao Cao from the Tingwei Mansion. I came to Datian Ling's Mansion this time to ask for help from Datian Ling. I hope I can handle it for you." Communication!"
"It turns out to be Young Master Hao!"
The guards looked at each other, then bowed respectfully to Zhao Hao, and then raised their hands and said, "It's unfortunate that the young master is here. The Order of Datian is in the Zhisu Neishi Mansion. If he is not here, the young master can go to the Zhisu Neishi Mansion to find him."
"Not here?"
Zhao Hao frowned and didn't think much. He asked the guards about the location of Zhisu Neishi Mansion, then said goodbye to them and took Mond to Zhisu Neishi Mansion.
However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as they stepped off the carriage, they were stopped by the guards of the Zhizunai Shifu.
Just as they were preparing to explain to the guards, they happened to see Ota Ling coming out.
"Ota, please stay!"
The first time Zhao Hao saw Da Tian Ling, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
When the guard saw this, he could no longer stop him, so he let Zhao Hao in.
Ota Ling heard someone calling him and quickly turned his head to look.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, his face changes drastically.
Seeing that he hesitated a little, he pretended not to hear and wanted to leave, but Mond stopped him in front of him with three steps and two steps at a time.
"Hehehe"
Datian Ling laughed a few times: "I didn't expect to meet Young Master Hao here. I'm really happy and congratulated. I wonder what Mr. Young Master Hao does?"
"Ling Da Tian is really a noble man who forgets things. Could it be that he doesn't know the purpose of this young master's coming here?"
Zhao Hao glanced at Datian Ling and asked with a half-smile.
Hearing this, Ota Ling twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
But Zhao Hao said again: "I came here specifically to find Da Tian Ling. I wonder if Da Tian Ling still remembers that one of my subordinates was assigned to Da Tian Ling's mansion and he hasn't come back yet?"
"Oh, so that's what happened"
Da Tian Ling suddenly nodded and said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say, but..."
"But what?"
"But that person can't be given to Young Master yet. His task is to teach the craftsmen of Datian Lingfu to bake cement. He can't leave until the cement is successfully made. Young Master, please wait!"
Zhao Hao: "."
What does it mean that you can’t leave until the cement is successfully made?
In other words, until now, after such a long time, cement has not been successfully produced?
Is this a fucking joke?
The concrete has been produced, but you are telling me that the cement was not made successfully?
Do you really think I am a stick? Can I fool you at will? !
Seeing the frosty look on Zhao Hao's face, Datian Ling couldn't help but smile: "Young Master may have misunderstood. What I mean is that there are still craftsmen in Datian Ling's mansion who have not learned how to make cement. After they all learn how to make cement, it will not be too late to return it to the young master."
"snort!"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao snorted coldly and said with a stern face, "I still have some important things for Hei Fu to do. You ask him to go back with me first. After finishing my work, I will lend you those lessons." artisan!"
By saying this, he has given Daejeon Ling a lot of face. After all, the concrete mixing station of Daejeon Lingfu has been supporting him in the renovation of Xianyang recently.
However, when Ling Da Tian heard his words, his expression changed, he stopped his smile, and said solemnly:
"Sir, it is His Majesty's order to let your subordinates teach the craftsmen of Datian Lingfu. Now that the craftsmen have not fully learned how to make cement, you want to take them away. Are you trying to resist the order?"
"I think you are His Majesty's son, so I will give you a bit of mercy. Don't think that I am easy to bully!"
After saying that, he bowed his hands and said coldly, "I have official business to attend to, so I won't be here to accompany you!"
"how?"
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Does Ling Datian think that this young master has no official title and is unworthy of you to point your fingers at me?"
"Although my father had a decree for me to send people to teach the craftsmen of Daejeon Lingfu to make cement, my father did not say that I would hand over my young master's people to Daejeon Lingfu;
Since I have sent someone to Daejeon Lingfu, my father's will has been fulfilled;
It has nothing to do with me as to whether the people in Datian Lingfu have fully learned it;
If you are wise, please return my son's people, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences! "
"Zhao Hao!"
Hearing this, Ling Datian opened his eyes wide and shouted sternly: "Don't think that because His Majesty is not in Xianyang, you can be lawless. We, the Qin Dynasty, govern the country according to the law and will not tolerate your wanton behavior. Come and have him kicked out by me!"
The guards around him couldn't help but look embarrassed when they heard Datian Ling's words, but they did not dare to disobey Shangguan's order, so they could only bite the bullet and gather towards Zhao Hao.
Mond's face darkened, and he immediately shouted: "How impudent! Who of you dares to be rude to the young master?!"
After saying that, he took the lead and reached out to pinch Ota Ling's wrist. With a twist, he immediately lifted Ota Ling's arm onto his back.
"ah"
Da Tianling screamed, and his whole body bowed like a cooked river shrimp.
At this time, Linghu Fan, the internal historian of Zhisu, heard the commotion and hurriedly ran out and raised his hands to Zhao Hao: "Young Master, calm down your anger. Young Master, calm down your anger. If you have something to say, let's let Da Tian Ling go first."
"Ah!"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he chuckled, turned to look at Linghu Fan, and said jokingly:
"It's such a coincidence that Zhi Su Neishi has come. Why, why don't you let people back down?"
"this"
Linghu Fan hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Mond's palm slightly folded.
"ah!!"
Ling Datian screamed again and shouted quickly: "Get back, get back quickly, everyone get out of my way!"
Upon seeing this, the guards all looked at Linghu Fan, who waved his hands helplessly and watched the guards retreat.
After the guards all returned to their original positions, Zhao Hao nodded to Mond, who relaxed his palm lightly, and the screams of Ling Datian immediately disappeared.
However, Order Da Tian did not feel happy about this. As soon as he regained his breath, he yelled at Mond, "Sister! Let me go quickly. Do you know what the crime is for kidnapping a court official in public?"
At this time, Mond didn't care whether he was guilty or not. As long as someone dared to be disrespectful to Zhao Hao, he would not hesitate even if it meant risking his life.
But I heard him say sternly: "I have just joined the Tingwei Mansion, and I am also an official of the imperial court. Whether I am guilty or not, it is not up to you to decide, it is up to the Tingwei Mansion to decide!"
As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were fights between officials. Moreover, the literati in the pre-Qin period did not pay attention to a gentleman's words but not his hands, but his ability to take action and never act blindly.
Of course, that was before the First Emperor took charge. Anyone who dares to be so presumptuous in front of the First Emperor now is simply seeking death.
"Young Master, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. Look at so many people watching. What if it reaches His Majesty's ears?"
"This is a matter between Ota Rei and I. Don't worry about the history of Sumi. Just do your work."
Zhao Hao waved his hand impatiently, completely ignoring Linghu Fan's kind words, and turned to look at Datian Ling: "Take us to find someone now, otherwise you will suffer!"
"ah!"
Datian Ling screamed again and quickly said: "Go, go, I will take the young master right away."
After saying that, he subconsciously looked at Linghu Fan and saw that Linghu Fan's lips were slightly open and he stopped talking.
Obviously, he didn't want to conflict with Zhao Hao because of this matter.
After all, Zhao Hao helped him solve the food requisition crisis some time ago.
Moreover, Zhao Hao was determined to retaliate, and he did not want to offend Zhao Hao easily.
Even if Zhao Hao built a new tax bureau and took away some of his power, making him dissatisfied, he still did not dare to have a direct conflict with Zhao Hao.
In this way, Zhao Hao took Mond and Datian Ling and left the Zhisu Neishi Mansion without any hindrance.
"Sir, we are here."
Not long after, Zhao Hao and his two men arrived at the door of a house under the guidance of Datian Ling.
Mond kicked the door open very unceremoniously. The scene inside the room made his eyes turn red and he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao walked directly into the door without saying a word.
I saw Hei Fu and several other craftsmen tied to pillars respectively. There were large and small holes in their clothes, and there was horrifying blood stains on them. It was obvious at a glance that they had been tortured.
"Son."
"Master!"
The people in the room woke up instantly when they heard the sound of the door being kicked. They looked around and found that it was Zhao Hao. They couldn't help but look overjoyed.
However, there was no joy at all on Zhao Hao's face. Instead, he was full of anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Is this why the Order of Datian did not allow me to take people away?"
"Misunderstanding"
Hearing this, Ling Datian's expression changed drastically, and he quickly explained: "Young master, you have misunderstood. This is because they have been unable to teach the craftsmen in my house for a long time. I thought they were slacking off on purpose, so I gave them a little punishment. It is not what you think! "
"Young Master is wronged!"
A craftsman who was tied to the pillar heard Da Tian Ling's words and hurriedly complained to Zhao Hao; "Master Mingjian, we are not slacking off, but they don't follow our instructions at all. The lime is used before it is soaked, and the ash is not passed through." Sieve and burn;
They blamed us when they failed, saying that we slacked on them and didn't teach them well, and then they tied us up and beat us. Master, we were wronged! "
"Oh? Is that so? Ota Ling?"
Zhao Hao was filled with rage, but his face remained calm as he asked Da Tian Ling.
When Datian Ling saw that Zhao Hao was sincerely fighting against him, he no longer hid it and said solemnly:
"Zhao Hao, although you are hiding your Majesty's story about transforming Xianyang, I, the Datian Lingfu, have always given you full support. Do you really want to have trouble with my Datian Lingfu because of a few craftsmen?"
As he spoke, the speed of his speech gradually slowed down, and he said meaningfully: "Before this matter gets too serious, you let me go, and I let them go, too. From now on, we will never touch the river again. What do you think?" "
"this"
When everyone present heard Ota Ling's words, they couldn't help but look at each other and closed their mouths knowingly.
Even the craftsmen who had complained just now were silent.
At this time, Heifu, who was originally unconscious, slowly woke up, opened his two swollen eyes, and looked up at Zhao Hao, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
After surviving the battlefield, he did not return to his hometown, but lived with the Mohist craftsmen who took him in.
Although the Mohist craftsmen taught him a lot, they also made him understand a lot.
As the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, officials began to treat craftsmen less and less as human beings. Even in arsenals, general offices, and central military buildings where craftsmen gathered, officials often beat and scolded them.
Nowadays, craftsmen working for the imperial court are becoming more and more like animals, and they no longer receive the treatment that talents from the Six Kingdoms received when they entered Qin.
Even if Zhao Hao had treated them preferentially and even paid them wages and provided food, they still felt that Zhao Hao was so kind to them because he needed them. When one day he no longer needs them, they would become what they were before.
Therefore, it was impossible for Zhao Hao to offend an important official of the court for them.
"Let me go quickly!"
Zhao Hao was too lazy to talk nonsense to Datian Ling and directly asked him to release him.
Da Tianling spitted at the corner of his mouth and said angrily: "Zhao Hao, you have to think clearly and don't make any mistakes!"
"Self-mistaken?"
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm afraid you think too highly of yourself!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and slapped him: "Let him go!"
"You——!"
Ota Ling, who was so angry after being beaten, was about to say a few harsh words, but Mond suddenly twisted his head back, causing him to scream in pain and gasping for breath: "Let him go."
Soon, Heifu and the others were removed from the pillars.
Zhao Hao quickly stepped forward to explore their injuries and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are the injuries serious?"
"fine."
Hei Fu smiled brightly, and suddenly pulled the wound on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but grinned and said, "They are just superficial wounds, you can't die."
"Zhao Hao, I have already let him go, now it's time to let me go, right?"
Da Tian Ling stared at Zhao Hao with his eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Hao.
He didn't know why Zhao Hao did this. They were just a few insignificant craftsmen.
However, when Zhao Hao heard what he said, he bared his teeth and smiled: "Why is Ling Datian so anxious? There is still something to trouble Ling Datian!"
