Chapter 43 Build Renyi Hall!
The night breeze was cool, occasionally brushing against Su Jingge's face, as refreshing as silk caressing her skin.
This battle can be considered a victory.
The people exclaimed excitedly:
"President Su is alright, the repairs can continue."
"Thank you, Assistant Manager."
"Thank you, Princess Yongzhu."
Yan Shu looked at the document in his hand, his heart filled with excitement. From now on, they would no longer be mountain bandits or thieves.
They are ordinary, law-abiding citizens.
This is all thanks to Su Jingge's help!
Their eyes gleamed.
Tears of emotion welled up in my eyes.
As An Wanyu brushed past Su Jingge, she gave her a cold, sidelong glance.
The group dispersed.
Su Jingge looked at Xie Mo and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate."
Xie Mo returned the greeting: "President Su, you're too kind. This is what I should do."
Su Jingge smiled slightly: "Lord Xie's actions have won the hearts of the people, and you will be able to handle things more easily in the future."
Xie Mo remained calm and composed, saying, "It is because of the trust that the Assistant Minister has placed his trust in me."
Su Jingge then said, "The first-class roof timber has arrived; we just need to proceed with the construction as normal."
"Next, I will have someone deliver this to Lord Xie's residence..." He returned with his subordinates.
Xie Mowei nodded slightly: "This subordinate will certainly cooperate."
"Would Lord Xie like to join me for a drink at my restaurant?" Su Jingge asked.
Xie Mo politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, Assistant Manager, but my wife is waiting for me at home..."
Su Jingge smiled. The man who accompanied his wife was a good man.
She nodded: "Very well, then I will visit your residence another day to have a chat with you, Madam."
As Su Jingge left, she turned and saw Qingyue, who was being supported by Weishuang and Feijian, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Weishuang, go and invite Doctor Chen to the restaurant."
She nodded to Shuang, then turned and left.
People gathered around him.
"Assistant Manager, how can we possibly thank you!"
All the members knelt down, tears streaming down their faces with emotion.
"Please rise, folks. You don't need to thank me. Since I am a member of Yuxiang County, and I have the ability to make everyone's lives better, I will certainly not let this ability go to waste."
The people dispersed.
The group returned to the restaurant.
Warm yellow light fell on the corner of the table, and the restaurant was brightly lit.
Laughter and cheers
Yan Shu held his wine bowl, looking at Su Jingge with a burning passion in his chest and eyes full of admiration.
"President Su, let me toast you. I am so grateful for your help this time."
The brothers stood up as well, their eyes solemn, unable to contain their gratitude.
“If it weren’t for Assistant Minister Su, we would still be bandits. Bandits have no future. No matter what we do, people will say we’ve broken the law. Even if we use a single blade of grass, people will say we’ve used the government’s resources.”
"You gave us a second chance to be human; you are our great benefactor."
Su Jingge picked up her wine bowl: "Brothers, there's no need to be so polite. You were forced into this situation. I will definitely help you if I can, but... you will have nowhere to go afterward, even at dawn."
Their excitement was dampened once again.
The skinny monkey sighed, "What's the difference between this and a beggar?"
The atmosphere quieted down again, and Su Jingge addressed the crowd: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. I will discuss it with Magistrate Xie. The city needs craftsmen for repairs. If anyone is interested, you can join the city repair work."
"When the project is completed, I will definitely inscribe the names of all the heroes on the honor roll. At that time, the entire surrounding area, from officials to merchants and peddlers, will be able to see everyone's contributions."
Someone's eyes lit up: "This is great! We get paid, we're well-fed, and we even get our names on a monument—isn't that a win-win-win situation?"
"What do you say, brother?" the underlings asked.
The man walked over, tears welling in his eyes, and knelt down before Su Jingge: "Assistant Su, how can I, Yan Shu, ever thank you enough!"
Su Jingge was startled and quickly took Yan Shu's arm, saying, "Brother Yan, there's no need for such a grand gesture."
Yan Shu wiped away his tears: "My life from now on belongs to Assistant Manager Su. You've made me work like a slave, I—"
“Brother Yan, there’s no need for you to be so polite,” Su Jingge said. “You are all heroes. I trust you all. The future glory of Yuxiang County depends on you all.”
"I will not fail in my mission!!!"
Su Jingge added, "Afterwards, I will renovate the old temple at the west end and build a Renyi Hall. In the future, any brothers in the Jianghu who are willing to submit can enter the Renyi Hall, and each brother can participate in its construction. Once it is built, you can move in."
Everyone was moved to tears again: "Renyi Hall? We have a home now, we have a home!"
All the brothers bowed deeply: "We will forever remember Assistant Manager Su's great kindness!"
The powerful sound quickly spread to every corner of the restaurant, and the group grew stronger, with everyone now united as one.
We are one step closer to our goal.
Meanwhile, at the Zhao residence.
"Liu Lang, Liu Lang, something terrible has happened!"
The servants rushed into the mansion in a panic.
"Are you being chased by a ghost? What's the panic? You're scaring me!"
He listened as his servants reported on the day's events.
He jumped to his feet, his face filled with shock:
"Banditry is legal, the evidence is legal, yet my lawsuit has been dismissed??"
He looked at the servant and nodded seriously: "I saw it with my own eyes. The princess ordered that Lord Zhao be punished with six months' salary, dismissed from his post, and investigated!"
Zhao Liu frowned deeply: "Wait, is Su Jingge really that amazing?"
Wasn't I at the yamen hearing this matter this afternoon?
Zhao Zhou later said that the trial was held at 7 PM, but he did not attend because a friend invited him to his home for drinks.
I figured it didn't really matter whether I went or not. After all, it's for building houses for ordinary people, and if I were to fake it, I'd be in big trouble!
How did the situation turn around in just a few hours?
His mouth was slightly open, and his pupils were filled with disbelief.
"Haha." Zhao Liu sat in the chair, looking bewildered, and chuckled foolishly. "You've got some skills, you're quite interesting."
The servant swallowed hard, looking at his sixth son, who seemed to be out of his mind.
"Sixth Brother, what's our next step?"
"You son of a bitch! Zhao Zhou has been dismissed and is under investigation. We don't even know if he'll keep his job."
Zhao Liu stroked the bird's feathers, his eyes half-closed: "This matter... we should not act rashly for now, but wait for the right time."
