Tingzhou.
The impact of the earthquake on Tingzhou was not that great.
Although a lot of houses were damaged, there were no cracks in the ground, no poultry were killed, and not many people were injured.
After this period of reconstruction, Tingzhou has now been completely transformed.
Looking around, most of the buildings in the city are two-story buildings.
Like Xizhou, solar street lights are installed on both sides of the main street.
At night, these lights will light up automatically.
Even in every two-story building, every room has a light.
Just turn on the switch and it will be as bright as during the day even at night.
Not only is it brighter than candles and kerosene lamps, it is also safer and free of charge.
In the past, most people would not even dare to imagine such a day.
But now, they are actually living such a life.
Although Li Junyan had been away for some time, with Sun Er in charge and able to contact Li Junyan every day, there was no trouble.
Although Sun Er was busy, he was happy in his heart.
Being able to share the prince's worries and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, Sun Er's life has not been lived in vain!
Sun Er stood in the shrine of the goddess, holding a stick of incense in his hand, kneeling devoutly to the statue of the goddess, muttering something.
"Please ask the goddess to bless the prince, bless Xizhou and Tingzhou, and bless a good corn harvest——"
Before he could finish his words, he heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.
Sun Er opened his eyes instantly, thinking that something was wrong. He quickly stood up, put the incense into the incense burner, and turned to look at the door.
At the same time, a man ran in with an anxious look on his face.
"Master Sun, when the people were inspecting today, they found a large area of corn that had been harvested!"
Sun Er's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he couldn't stop burning with anger.
"Come on! Take me to see it!"
These corns have been protected as if they were the apples of everyone's eye, from the time they were seedlings until now.
Not to mention mowing, even when weeding and spraying pesticides, they have to be very careful, for fear of accidentally damaging the leaves and damaging the corn.
Seeing that the corn has grown to the height of a person's chest and has also produced ears and corn cobs, everything is moving in the right direction.
It will only take another month or two for the corn to mature, but some people are secretly harvesting it at this time.
Who is so bold?
Are you looking for death?
As Sun Er thought about this, his expression became more gloomy and he ran even faster.
When he arrived outside the Temple of the Goddess, Sun Er jumped on his horse.
"Lead the way!"
The man who came to report the news also got on his horse, raised his whip and whipped the horse hard on its butt.
The horse felt pain and neighed as it ran forward.
Sun Er hurried to catch up, his mind full of all kinds of guesses along the way.
A quarter of an hour later, we arrived at the destination.
Before Sun Er got off his horse, he saw that there was a missing piece of cornfield.
The corn grows in large fields, very neatly.
Now that a piece is suddenly missing, it is really conspicuous.
Sun Er dismounted with a sullen face and examined the area carefully, "The marks are very recent, they must have been made last night.
Who was the person who patrolled this area last night? Why didn't they find anything unusual?
One acre of corn was harvested.
But because corn grows tall, it is not easy to transport the corn from this field quietly.
It takes at least half an hour from harvesting the corn to transporting it away.
But the patrol teams were arranged only fifteen minutes apart.
That is to say, if there is a patrol team passing by here now, then after a quarter of an hour, the next patrol team will pass by here, and after another quarter of an hour, another patrol team will pass by here.
The patrols are arranged so densely in order to prevent those with ulterior motives from doing anything sneaky.
But what Sun Er didn't expect was that under such circumstances, the corn was still stolen.
How did you steal it?!
Sun Er was furious and looked at the people around him. "Tell me! The patrol team on duty last night were all there! Why didn't anyone notice anything unusual?"
Seeing that Sun Er was extremely angry, no one dared to hide it anymore.
Cheng Hongsheng bravely stepped out and saluted Sun Er, "Sun... Lord Sun, everyone's been extremely tired lately, and since nothing has happened so far, we've... lengthened the patrol intervals a bit."
Sun Er laughed in anger, "You guys are quite opinionated. You dare to make a decision on such a big matter by yourself.
Tell me, how long did it take?"
Cheng Hongsheng lowered his head even lower. He didn't dare to look at Sun Er at all, nor did he want to answer, but he had to answer.
"Two...two hours."
Sun Er's eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked Cheng Hongsheng, sending him flying backwards.
There were some people standing behind Cheng Hongsheng. They were unable to dodge and were directly hit by Cheng Hongsheng, falling to the ground together.
A group of people fell to the ground, but no one dared to cry out in pain and quickly got up from the ground.
Cheng Hongsheng even trotted over to Sun Er and said, "Lord Sun, please calm down. We are all really tired. We don't mean to be lazy!"
"You still dare to quibble!"
Sun Er said this and raised his foot again to kick the man out.
This time, before Cheng Hongsheng could get up from the ground, Sun Er said, "Take all the guards who were on duty here last night to the open space outside the city gate. Have everyone stop what they are doing and go watch the execution!"
-
A quarter of an hour later, Tingzhou became an open space outside the south gate.
