Fan Sihai and the other three were shocked. How could this be the emperor's will?
"Sir, will the emperor help us?" Fan Sihai asked suddenly.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just do your own thing and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked!" Gu Yongnian said with a gloomy expression.
Fan Sihai knew that he had violated a taboo, and quickly knelt on the ground: "My lord, I know my fault despite my humble position!"
"Remember, your lives were not given by Dayan, but by Beimang!" Gu Yongnian looked at the three of them and said, "Without me, your family would have died in the war!"
"I will obey your instructions, and we will die for Bei Mang!" The three of them knelt on one knee and kowtowed to the north.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your own thing!" Gu Yongnian waved his hand.
The three of them stood up, bowed to Gu Yongnian, and left the Gu Mansion.
Just as the three of them walked out of the main hall, the housekeeper hurried in.
"Master, Prime Minister Qu has sent someone over to ask you to come over and have a talk."
"I know, let them go first, I will go by myself in a while." Gu Yongnian waved his hand.
He didn't need to think about what Qu Zhongyi wanted to ask him to do. After all, Hu Shichang's matter should have come to an end!
…
Xu Mansion, Zheyang County
When the imperial edict appeared, Mo Dongsheng and others rushed here.
At this moment, there are not enough seats in the main hall of Xu Mansion. Even Wang Ruan and others are standing because there are so many people here this time. Not only are there a few people from the new city construction, but even the eleventh and other people are among them.
"Brother Xu, nephew Xu Quexian really guessed this right. What should we do next?" Mo Dongsheng was the first to ask.
Xu Maocai didn't know what to do. He immediately looked at Xu Que. After all, this guy summoned them to discuss the matter last night, and the imperial edict came today...
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him again, Xu Que was very depressed. He didn't think of any good solutions at the moment, or in other words, none of these solutions would work!
After all, the people who came here were granted a title by the emperor. If they dared to stop them, they would die in the hands of the dog emperor without the help of the Beimang army.
"Don't look at me, there's nothing I can do!" Xu Que spread his hands and started messing around.
Hearing what Xu Que said, Mo Dongsheng and Xu Maocai were speechless. They did not expect that those delicate hands had already turned to make clouds and rain...
"How about I report it directly to the emperor?" Mo Dongsheng thought again and again.
"It's useless. Not only will you not be able to cure Gu Yongnian if you report it now, you will even be dismissed by the emperor!" Xu Que explained helplessly.
"Isn't it true that Gu Yongnian is not that meticulous?" Xu Maocai asked.
"I don't know," Xu Que said, "But how do you report it? Is it just a suspicion? If a suspicion can punish a crime, then this Great Flame will be in chaos..."
"You brat, I asked you to come up with a solution. Tell me this. You are the cause of this. Hurry up and come up with a solution for me." Xu Maocai shouted angrily.
cut!
Xu Que rolled his eyes at his father, then closed his eyes and continued to slump...
In fact, it is useless to doubt anyone now unless evidence can be produced. As long as there is evidence, this crisis can be easily resolved. But the other party is so thief, not only is he sophisticated in doing things, even Xu Que, a time traveler, cannot see through the other party's layout...
Xu Que lamented in his heart, is this the ancient regime? This is too scary...
He didn't underestimate anyone, and he didn't dare to ignore the intelligence of these people, but he couldn't figure out how the other party could do it without leaking!
"Let me say, it's better to let the uncle come back first. After all, only his official seal can suppress Fan Sihai, and as long as the uncle's official seal is deployed, no matter how hard Fan Sihai tries, he can't escape from Zheyang County's control." Wang Zhuo said.
Li An immediately said: "No, the eldest master cannot move at the moment. If he withdraws from Yangcheng's defense line, the Beimang army will be able to break through Yangcheng!"
"What about letting General Ma Guanxing enter Zheyang New City?" Chen Qi asked.
Li An objected again: "General Ma is even worse. His official seal is guarding Yangcheng. If it is Zheyang County, do you think Zhang Feng can defend Yangcheng with his official seal?"
"My dear, if this doesn't work or which one doesn't work, why not just kill that Fan Sihai!" Wang Ruan cursed angrily.
Everyone was silent because no one dared to do this! After all, there is an imperial edict on his body. If they take action, it will probably take less than half a quarter of an hour for the dragon seal to arrive in Zheyang County. By then, they will all be buried with Fan Sihai...
When everyone was silent, Xu Que's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and said with a smile, "Yeah, just kill him!"
Everyone looked confused. What were they talking about?
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Fan Sihai came with an imperial edict. If we take action, we will be buried with Fan Sihai!" Xu Maocai was furious.
"Dad, who told you that we were going to kill Fan Sihai?"
"Just now, didn't you say you killed Fan Sihai? Why now..."
Before Xu Maocai could finish his words, Xu Que interrupted with a smile: "Dad, don't say this nonsense. I didn't say to kill Fan Sihai. We are protecting each other, and the demon clan is the culprit!"
Hearing what Xu Que said, everyone was stunned. Where did the demon clan come from?
Li An suddenly laughed, and everyone was even more confused when they saw Li An laughing...
Li An bowed to Xu Que and said, "The young master is indeed very smart. Li admires him very much!"
"Uncle Li An, you are exaggerating. My nephew was suddenly awakened." Xu Que stood up with a smile and returned the greeting.
what's the situation?
These people were completely confused and had no idea what riddle the two men were trying to solve...
"Li An, do you know what this kid is going to do?" Xu Maocai asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Second Master, this matter cannot be discussed. Fan Sihai is dead. Let's continue discussing other matters." Li An cupped his fists and smiled.
After hearing Li An's words, everyone looked at Xu Que and then at Li An. Now they were really involved.
Suddenly, Mo Dongsheng seemed to understand something and said quickly: "Okay, this matter is over. Let's let Xu Que tell us how to defend this new city wall."
As Mo Dongsheng brought the topic to city defense, everyone also turned their attention to Xu Que. After all, the city wall had been completed, and the next step was to discuss how to defend it.
Xu Que didn't intend to hide it. He directly explained the advantages of the twenty-five-meter-high city wall. As for the hollows under the city wall, he also explained in detail the role of it.
After listening to Xu Que's explanation, everyone realized that the city wall actually had so many functions, which was completely beyond their imagination.
"Do you have any questions?" Xu Que asked.
"Sir, what if they improve the catapult?" asked Zhao Shi, the foreman of the ironworks.
"That's a good question." Xu Chuanmao nodded and said, "Do you remember what I asked you to build?"
"Of course I remember, the old factory is still forging those things." Zhao Shi replied.
"Actually, that thing is used to counter catapults. As long as all the parts are assembled, it can easily crush Beimang's catapults!"
Hearing what Xu Que said, Uncle Liu immediately thought of Xu Que's drawing. At first, he was confused about what it was, but now he understood it.
"Sir, according to your thing, we can make at most three now. Is this feasible?" Liao Qing asked.
"Three is enough. After all, Beimang will arrive in more than a month!" Xu Que replied with a smile.
In fact, Xu Que could build more, but he couldn't chill the hearts of the refugees. He had promised to build them residences before, so now the main project was still on building houses.
These houses are not given for free, but are implemented in accordance with modern real estate treaties. The houses that the refugees live in are called relocation houses, and they have to pay half of the housing price. The houses built for the people of Zheyang County are called commercial houses, and they need to pay the full price. before you can check in.
What should refugees do if they don’t have that much money? It's very simple, loans. Xu Que is now the creditor of more than 100,000 refugees!
