Chapter 85 The Glory of Working Men
Just when he was feeling worried, the nightingale came back and brought a special message with her.
"What? The corrupt officials of Qingcheng want to bury the hatchet with us?"
The butcher, who had been sulking the entire time, jumped up on the spot. "What a bastard! He wants to reconcile? He can just chop off his own head and reconcile!"
Yun Qingshui also found it incredible and asked, "What on earth did they say?"
Nightingale said timidly, "They said they've seen how powerful we are and that their previous misunderstanding was caused by some villain. They're willing to compensate us for all our losses and form an alliance with us to jointly deal with the corrupt officials in Changshan County."
"Bullshit, bullshit! Big bullshit!"
The butcher kept cursing and Nightingale didn't dare to say anything more. The other brothers and sisters also thought it was too ridiculous and didn't ask any more questions.
After a few more days, the operation became increasingly difficult, and funds and supplies became increasingly scarce. The brothers even had no money to go to the hospital and could only receive bandaging and treatment in the house.
The monkey shamelessly went to the county hall twice, but the officials in the county hall already knew him and refused to see him. The security guards kept driving him away, and no matter what the monkey said, it was useless.
The County Hall always had only one response: "Wait."
Yun Qingshui couldn't wait any longer and said to Yanshi Liu Henshi, "Go to Changle Town in person and find County Magistrate Lin. You must see him in person."
"If necessary, show him your strength, but be careful not to hurt him. He looks so weak that he can't even withstand your palm wind."
Rock nodded, turned and set off.
At this time, Nightingale brought news from Qingcheng again. This was the sixth time they sent a signal of goodwill. At the same time, in order to show their sincerity, they released some of the imprisoned elderly, weak and sick people, and even brought 10,000 yuan for resettlement.
Although the money is not much, the sincerity is obviously there.
He did not directly propose settlement, but only asked for negotiation.
Yun Qingshui was very hesitant, and his brothers had different opinions. Only the butcher clearly opposed it. Although he was the most dissatisfied with Changshan County in normal times, he was now the most determined to stand on this side.
"Although Changshan County is shit, they at least have some good intentions. The corrupt officials in Qingcheng have done so much evil, and you are going to forgive them?"
"Not forgiveness."
One brother retorted:
"It's just a negotiation. Besides, they released the person and paid him back, so they're showing some sincerity."
"Bullshit!" the butcher yelled angrily, "I'll chop off your head and then bandage your hand. Do you think you're being sincere?"
Yun Qingshui was getting a headache from the noise, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll go. It's just a negotiation. If I don't go, you'll think we're scared."
Sister Yun spoke, and the matter was settled.
Then came the issue of location. The two sides argued back and forth, and finally one side used its trump card and set the location at Dayu Village, which was closest to Hangu Pass, on the condition of releasing Chen Xingtai.
The other party originally requested at least twenty people, but after Yun Qingshui argued, they agreed to only have ten people.
They also only brought ten people and promised not to deploy any security or supervisory guards within a five-mile radius, otherwise the negotiations would be cancelled.
As the leader, Yun Qingshui had to go. He originally planned to select ten steady, strong and personally powerful people, but he couldn't resist the butcher and took him along.
Another thirty brothers were selected as scouts to explore the way ahead to prevent the other side from cheating. The remaining more than three hundred brothers who were slightly injured and had certain combat effectiveness served as rear support.
The time was specifically set at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Before leaving, she specifically instructed Nightingale to return to County Magistrate Lin immediately if any emergency occurred.
The preparations were foolproof, and the group set off towards Dayu Village with high morale.

Although life on the construction site is full of joy, Lin Wen has recently had some troubles.
As reconstruction work progressed, the types of work began to further differentiate, from the initial two or three to the current ten or so.
There would be nothing wrong with this, but the problem is that the type of work Lin Wen does always attracts the most people.
Everyone wanted to do the same work as County Chief Lin, perform the same actions, and shout the same slogans. As a result, when Lin Wen was digging the soil, there were a lot of people digging the soil, but only a few people carrying the soil. As soon as Lin Wen started carrying the soil, everyone went to carry the soil again.
In the end, there was no choice but to agree that everyone would take turns, and no one could spend more than three hours with County Mayor Lin.
Lin Wen made further improvements, so that he took turns working at each job for three hours.
This way everyone is happy and nothing gets delayed.
But now, there are more than a dozen types of work, and Lin Wen can only work for less than an hour in each position, and this is also a huge test for Lin Wen himself.
When he is not in a magic state, he is actually just an ordinary person, and a lazy otaku who doesn't know anything about farming. It is extremely difficult for him to become a skilled brick-moving king on the construction site in a short period of time.
But for the sake of good karma, Lin Wen gritted his teeth and stopped resting. He worked during the day and learned at night. He was determined to practice every type of work and every action until he was proficient, otherwise it would affect his efficiency and delay his good karma.
Because of this, he even lost the time to practice Taoism before going to bed every day. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the bed and could not study any magic system mechanism.
However, Lin Wen himself is also making rapid progress. As long as he adapts to these tasks, I believe his time for cultivating immortals will soon return.
That day, Lin Wen was working hard on the construction site when suddenly a strange strong man appeared and stared at him from a distance.
Lin Wen was sweating profusely, immersed in the passionate exercise, hot bodies and tempting slogans, and ignored him.
After a while, he suddenly ran over, shook Lin Wen's hands, and said loudly: "Chief Lin! You are such a good man!"
Lin Wen looked at him, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. An old farmer next to him pushed him away and said, "Of course, County Magistrate Lin is a good man. Do I need to tell you that? Don't delay our work."
"Hey!"
Lin Wen shouted and hit the foundation pile with a hammer.
"Hey yo!"
More than ten thousand voices echoed, and more than ten thousand hammers hit the foundation piles.
"Hey, working man!"
"Hey, working man!"
"A roar!"
"A roar!"
"The Empire wants it too!"
"The Empire wants it too!"
"Tremble three times!"
"Tremble three times!"
"Yo hey!"
"Yo hey!"
"Do it yourself!"
"Do it yourself!"
"Enough food and clothing!"
"Enough food and clothing!"
“Us!”
“Us!”
"Hey, working man!"
"Hey, working man!"
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
"I'm not afraid!"
"I'm not afraid!"
With the rhythmic slogans, it didn't take long before more than 5,000 piles were driven into the ground.
"Next."
Lin Wen shouted.
"During the rotation, there will be a ten-minute break. Everyone, have a drink of water."
"good!"
More than 10,000 responses.
Lin Wen came back and Bai Xiuyu handed him a towel. Lin Wen wiped the sweat off his head and took the water handed to him by Bai Yatou. He took a big sip and said, "Go over there and distribute it. A few sisters-in-law over there are sick, so there are fewer people."
Bai Xiu Yu smiled gently and said, "Okay, County Chief Lin." She took Bai Yatou's hand, took a towel and water, and went to the other side.
Only then did Lin Wen turn around and look at the strange man.
"What do you want?"
The man bowed deeply to Lin Wen respectfully.
"Headmaster Lin, you are the most people-oriented heir I have ever met. You truly don't look like an official, but rather a more noble person. I now understand that all those rumors about you were spread by those bastard officials. They can't tolerate an outlier among them, someone so dazzling that it will profoundly expose their own corruption, greed, cruelty, and meanness, making them appear so lowly and incompetent."
Lin Wen drank the water in the cup in one gulp and said calmly, "In this world, I am just an ordinary person. Everyone is an ordinary person. No one is born noble. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I have to work again soon."
