"Xi'er?" Gu Yuancheng always felt that Sheng Nanxi was a little abnormal every day, as if she was planning something unknown.

"Pfft! You'll know how spicy it is in a minute!" Sheng Nanxi stood on tiptoe and covered her mouth. Her eyes were rolling around, and she knew what was going on.

"Okay." Gu Yuancheng nodded obediently and followed her example by leaning against the corner of the tent.

Although there were many strong men gathered there, everyone's focus was on the few people in the middle.

It sounds like the supervisor is trying to speed up the progress. The originally agreed one-month construction period was compressed into ten months. This put an extraordinarily heavy workload on everyone.

According to the regulations, everyone had to dig 50 bales of sand that afternoon. Those who failed to meet the standard would not receive any dry food. The stronger workers could barely reach the number, but many weaker ones failed to meet the standard even after trying their best.

The supervisor wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so he not only didn't give those people food, but also verbally insulted the few who dug the least. Unexpectedly, one of them was a little weak and suddenly fainted.

Several civilians who were on good terms with the soldiers asked the supervisor to ask the medical officer to come and see the soldiers. But the supervisor was arrogant and not only did he not help, he also refused to let them leave the camp.

Seeing that the frail migrant worker had not woken up for a long time, the strong laborers nearby were anxious but could not think of a better solution. Suddenly, a tall man stood out from the crowd.

"Mr. Jiang, according to the laws of the Southern Qi Dynasty, we are hired as servants and we are not slaves that you can deduct wages from, beat or insult at will."

"If my cousin is unwell, you have no relationship with him, so naturally there is no reason for you to care. But I, Xue Huai, will not ignore my cousin's life or death. I just found a board and dragged my cousin back to Yunzhong County step by step."

"This journey is nearly a hundred miles, and we passed through many villages. If someone sees me dragging my cousin, they will inevitably come to ask why. Then I will just tell them everything we have experienced in the past few days."

Xue Huai sneered, looking confident:

"For example, although we had agreed to pay them on a daily basis, the Jiang people always found excuses to deduct our wages and board and lodging. Another example was that they promised to complete the project within a month, but they insisted on shortening the construction period to ten days, making us do the work of three people for the price of one person... All of these things need to be explained to the villagers."

"My cousin is weak and he will not be able to hold on if he is dragged back like this. I am afraid that it will attract more people to talk about it and let everyone know what happened here."

"Our prince has always loved his people like his own children, so he would naturally not do anything to mistreat the people. I'm sure he would not be lenient towards those who dare to damage his reputation..."

The man's voice was calm and not aggressive, but every word he spoke was as powerful as a sword.

I have never studied medicine, so I don't know what the condition of my cousin is. I just know that it's best to ask the nearest doctor to check on me. So I had to force the supervisor to give in.

He first stated that he and others were not slaves and should have the rights they deserved; then he backed down and said that he would carry his cousin back, but in fact he was threatening the supervisor, saying that if he pressed further, the matter here would be known to everyone.

Sure enough, the supervisor just stood there and sneered at first, not taking the rough guy seriously at all.

What about withholding wages, shortening the construction period... It was just an order from the surface, and had nothing to do with pressure. But we have been with King Kang for a long time, and we know that the king loves his reputation very much. In order to preserve his own reputation, he often lets his subordinates take the blame.

This kid wanted to go out and make a fuss, but the people behind him specifically took him away to save their reputation and accused him of abusing migrant workers privately!

The supervisor had been bullying others for many years, but this was the first time he was bullied by a rough man. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he whipped the whip and swung it at the opponent.

"How dare you! How dare you, a little commoner, threaten me in person?!"

Who knew that Xue Huai would catch the whip as soon as he swung it.

놛 wanted to whip out the whip to give the opponent a harder blow. But he saw dozens of strong men standing up behind Xue Huai, all staring at him with hatred.

"Brother Xue is right! This is a matter of life and death! You clearly have a military doctor accompanying you, why don't you let him come and check on Brother Yang?"

"It's really impossible. You can just lend us your donkey and go to a nearby village! Why did you force people into such a desperate situation?!"

"Humph! I see you were planning to deduct my wages before, so I won't do this job anymore! If you don't let the military doctor come to save Yang Er, I will follow Xue Huai and publicize your deeds!"

Seeing the strong men coming towards him with ferocious looks, the supervisor realized that there were only two soldiers by his side, as all the members of Prince Kang's guard had gone to eat.

How can the three of us be a match for a group of strong men in their teens?!

The supervisor was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly softened his voice.

"Hehe... 놆... 놆, I was careless. Nothing really matters when it comes to human life. You...you guys, get out of the way first. I'll go to the camp over there and call for the military doctor."

Xue Huai refused to give in. "You stay here and ask the officer next to you to go."

"놆놆놆..." Facing the pressure that 놛 deliberately released, the supervisor did not dare to resist at all and hurriedly scolded the people around him.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you go call a military doctor?!"

Sheng Nanxi hid behind and watched the excitement, her eyes shining with excitement.

Earlier, she heard that Liu Waner's husband went to work near Yunzhong County, but she didn't care much. Who knew that fate would work out so well, and she happened to meet him?!

She had just observed carefully and found that Xue Huai's cousin's chest was rising and falling steadily. He had fainted due to long-term malnutrition and overwork. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his body.

It would be bad if she revived him in front of everyone. It would be better for her to sneak over and give him some medicine.

The little fat girl had been chatting with the pretty sister and had already regarded Xue Huai as half her own. When her heart settled down a little, she began to look at the other person.

The man has dark skin, distinct facial features, a small head and broad shoulders, and is estimated to be 1.9 meters tall. Isn't he a handsome man with two open doors? ! The perfect combination of strength and handsomeness? !

Although his hair was messy and he looked a little unkempt, his temperament was unique and gave him a unique beauty. The small flaws in his body became his unrestrained features.

Hiss, hiss, hiss… What a handsome man and a tofu beauty! Who would have thought that her sister Xi would stir up trouble everywhere and also make a sweet couple? !

She was looking at the handsome boy with great interest, but she heard the little boy's cold voice the next second.

"Xi'er? What are you looking at?!"
