Chapter 77 Furious
Jin Sui walked around the city again, no, half a circle. The other half of the city wall was still emitting a foul odor, so it was impossible to get close.
The place where the Zheng family set fire was left with scorched earth and ruins, and many makeshift houses collapsed in the disaster.
The entire border town is becoming increasingly dilapidated. Let’s put it this way, the old city area that used to look like it had been bombed in the Middle East now looks like it had been hit by a missile.
It was so dilapidated that it seemed impossible to repair it. If his strength allowed, Jin Sui would have wanted to raze the entire city to the ground and rebuild it.
What made her even angrier was that half of the houses in Tuantianying had collapsed, and Captain Liu led a group of elderly, weak, women and children to clean up the residential area.
Because all the young and strong people went to work in the fields, the collapse of the house would not freeze people to death for a while, but the damage to the crops would lead to starvation to death.
After hearing this, Jinsui hurried to check the tomato and potato seedlings, but was very angry because half of the seedling beds were destroyed.
Captain Liu came to apologize, saying that he had not taken good care of the nursery. Later he heard that more than a dozen people were injured in their efforts to defend the nursery.
Jin Sui called Huo Zian and asked him to supervise the Zheng family members to work. Everyone who could get up should come out to work and start working immediately! When he asked what else was lost, he heard Dave's crying and complaining. Hei Hu translated it and realized that most of the fertilizer in his cellar was gone.
But it was not destroyed by the Zheng family, but was used to splash the Zheng family.
The fertilizer that was supposed to be used to fertilize the fields is now used to "water" the city walls.
It was such an interesting conversation that Jin Sui wanted to pinch his nose and asked him to take people to tear down the city wall that was covered with manure and use it as fertilizer.
Tell Captain Liu again that all the dirty and heavy work in the Tuntian Camp will be done by the Zheng family. Anyone who dares to disobey will be beaten to death!
My God, ever since I came to the border town, I have been racking my brains every day thinking about how to build the city better.
After much difficulty, things started to improve. Roads were being repaired, city walls were being built, and houses were being built. However, the Zheng family's battle to recruit people made the border town return to the pre-liberation era overnight.
Jin Sui returned to his residence angrily. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He first asked Cheng Yu, "How about we take some people to attack the Zheng family?"
Cheng Yu, who was always brave, was shocked by the prince's idea: "No, Prince! If we enter Yanzhou City, the enemy will not only be the Zheng family."
Jin Sui asked again: "Has Hao Duojin sent a letter?"
Cheng Yu shook his head: "No, I heard that the plague in Luocheng is still spreading, and it is very difficult to send the news out."
Jin Sui was not concerned about Hao Duojin, but Gu Changxiao, Grandpa Ling and Jin An. If the news from Luocheng could not be spread, could the news from Yandi be spread? What if they still didn't know that she was pretending to be the King of Li? Jin Sui was just overthinking this. Gu Changxiao and the other two not only knew that she was pretending to be the King of Li, but were also rushing to Yanzhou at full speed.
He even kept an eye on the aftermath of Prince Li snatching Zheng's concubine. Within a few days, new developments spread.
The head of the Zheng family was infected with an evil disease, so the Zheng family went to the border town to snatch a concubine and fought a fierce battle with the King of Li. As a result, the Zheng family was defeated.
Not only did he fail to get the beautiful concubine back, but the man who went there was also detained by the King of Li and forced to do hard labor in a border town.
Gu Changxiao is very supportive of the latter point.
The Zheng family didn't take the King of Li seriously at all. Even if they detained him and made him do hard labor, or even killed him all, they would not blame Taoist Xiao Ji for his cruelty.
What he cares about is the first point. Why would the Zheng family take the risk to snatch the beautiful concubine when the head of the Zheng family is almost dying of illness? How beautiful is the woman that makes the Zheng family and the King of Li fight so hard? But because Master Ji insisted that he would guarantee with his life that his grandson would never snatch the beauty, there must be another hidden reason! Gu Changxiao used his secret guards to investigate. Although he did not find out the truth about the Zheng family, he found out that some noble families in Yandi even buried living people with them.
He especially liked to bury his beautiful concubines with him.
Gu Changxiao deduced the truth of the matter. The beautiful concubine of the Zheng family should have been buried alive. Taoist Xiao Ji accidentally learned about it and saved the girl.
After hearing this, Grandpa Ling slapped his thigh and said affirmatively:
"That's right! My grandson is kind-hearted. Even if he is afraid of being exposed, he will not ignore such a thing if he knows about it."
Jin An chimed in, "That must be the case. My brother is bold and soft-hearted. When he first met Brother Gu, he would risk his life to save him, so he would naturally save an innocent woman."
The two of them were doing their best to speak up for Jin Sui, fearing that Jin Sui might get into trouble again, and then Gu Changxiao would have no choice but to execute her, the fake King Li.
However, what Gu Changxiao cared about at the moment was not what Taoist Xiao Ji had done with his identity, but that the Yandi nobles dared to bury a living person with them!
Until now, this news has not spread, and what has been spread is how the King of Li has been doing atrocities in Yandi.
It can be seen that the Yan gentry were united in concealing the truth on this matter.
Gu Changxiao was angry at the Yan nobles' audacity and recklessness in not abiding by Xia laws, and sad at the court, or the emperor's inaction.
The emperor was on high alert against his son, but he indulged the gentry and never paid attention to the matter of clipping the wings of the gentry.
At this moment, Gu Changxiao actually felt that the ridiculous things that Taoist Xiao Ji had done were very satisfying.
If it were him, he would handle it in another way, but he would definitely not be able to get rid of his hatred as well as Taoist Xiao Ji did.
He once again assured Grandpa Ling that he would not pursue the matter that Taoist Xiao Ji had done when he was pretending to be him.
No matter what happens, he will protect Taoist Xiao Ji and be grateful for her life-saving grace.
The very next day after he said this, a new piece of news spread and Gu Changxiao regretted it.
"How dare she? She robbed Zheng's concubine to save people, so that's fine. But how could she mess with Yan's legitimate daughter?"
I heard rumors in the market that the eldest daughter of the Yan family was deeply in love with the King of Li.
Jin An didn't understand why Gu Chang Xiao was so angry, and asked seriously: "If my brother really married a girl from the Yan family, then when you go to Yanzhou, you will have a wife, how great!"
Grandpa Ling rushed forward again and covered his grandson's mouth, smiling flatteringly, "Misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding! Sui Sui would never mess with a woman."
Gu Changxiao closed his eyes in anger, not wanting to see the grandparents and grandchildren.
What a bold Ji Sui!
You stole Zheng's concubine. If you two are in love with each other, I will help you get together when I arrive.
But you provoked the eldest daughter of the Yan family, and used your identity as the King of Li. Now the whole Yan area is filled with rumors.
You want me to clean up the mess?
What he was more worried about was that Ji Sui would get carried away, be blinded by beauty, and really marry the girl from the Yan family.
Wouldn't he have a green head then?
He accepted this daughter-in-law, and he will be cuckolded for the rest of his life.
If he doesn't acknowledge it, wouldn't that force the Yan family to rebel?
Gu Changxiao was going crazy.
He stood up suddenly: "No, Master Ji, we have to go separately. Gu must get to Yanzhou as soon as possible."
Grandpa Ling looked at the soldiers outside who were checking for strangers and walked away separately, but he and his grandson couldn't move a single step.
Moreover, what if Gu Changxiao ran to Yandi in a rage and killed Suisui to silence him? Grandpa Ling hurriedly pushed Jinan to hug Gu Changxiao's thighs, and he blocked the door himself:
"Your Highness, I'm telling you the truth. Sui Sui has absolutely no chance of having anything to do with the Yan family girl."
"because……"
Between saving Jinsui's life and losing face, Grandpa Ling chose the latter.
