Chapter 151 The Strong Laborer Delivered to the Door
The Shen family's secret has never been a secret to Xue Yongan.
On the first night they met, they opened their hearts to each other and talked about almost everything they needed to reveal.
Now when mentioning the General's Mansion, Xue Yongan instantly thought of Yang Yucheng.
"This person is on good terms with the Shen family because of Earl Kangping, but the Xue family has been defeated. Even if they are rehabilitated in the future, it will be difficult for them to make a comeback."
A person like Yang Yucheng should never do useless work.
Chen Chunxing heard his doubt and winked mischievously, "Haven't you heard of this saying?"
Xue Yongan concentrated.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women."
Xue Yongan was stunned.
"Yang Yucheng, having spent half his life in the military, was destined to rise to a high position, but he was also destined to have a difficult time in love."
"You mean... him and the Queen?"
Seeing the hatch being pushed open and a little carrot stumbling in, Chen Chunxing shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything."
“…”
Xue Yongan was not the kind of person who liked to imagine things, but at this moment he frowned in confusion.
Anyone who listens to only half of the gossip will feel uncomfortable!
Ah Jiu stopped under Shen Chunxing's gaze and said timidly, "Someone is chasing the boat on the shore... There are so many people... They are so fierce..."
This sounded strange, but Chen Chunxing slapped his forehead and remembered it instantly.
When the two walked out of the cabin, they saw a group of familiar people in khaki clothes.
"Girl! Miss Shen! You can't just abandon us!"
"We agreed on something! If you lie, you'll go to hell and have your tongue pulled out!"
There were ghostly howls from the shore.
Chen Chunxing glared at Xue Yongan angrily, pointed at him and said sadly: "Just do evil!"
“…”
Eradicate all evil.
It's a pity that he passed away so early.
Xue Yongan glanced at the shore, and a group of people immediately fell silent, all panting and chasing after the flower boat.
Chen Chunxing couldn't bear the persistence.
"I said, the garrison has already withdrawn from Jiufeng... Lord Xue is leaving too. Why do you really want to go back with us to farm?"
These people acted like rats when they saw Xue Yongan, and only dared to respond in a loud voice when they heard Chen Chunxing shouting.
"Girl! Life in the mountains is so hard! Before, the imperial court was too busy to care about us, but look at what's happening now. Just a few random people have wiped out most of the village."
"We little minions can survive for a while, but can we survive for a lifetime?"
"Farming is so great! You can do it yourself and have enough food and clothing... At least you don't have to worry about losing your head when you fall asleep!"
"Please give me a chance, girl! I really want to be a good person!"
A group of burly men were crying and begging to be his younger brothers. Chen Chunxing couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he waved his hand and asked someone to find a place to dock the boat.
It's not that it's corny, but the acting is so realistic that she admires it.
What kind of remote and poor place is this narrow village? No one would know it if I told them!
Even if these people are afraid of Xue Yongan, there is no reason for them to rush over, right?
But judging from his expression, he doesn't seem to be faking it.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be extra careful, but Chen Chunxing was different.
She has never been wrong.
Therefore, faced with this group of strong laborers who volunteered to work for us, we could only accept their help with a smile.
No matter what the other party's intentions are, there is no reason to refuse the benefits that are delivered to your door.
The ship docked.
A few people simply got off the boat with their luggage. The river flows south and does not pass through Honglu County.
Yang Yucheng's arrangement was simply because he didn't want Prince Li's people to know the whereabouts of those children.
Now that they have left the city, they have to walk the rest of the way on their own.
Chen Chunxing smiled at the leading man and said, "Actually, in our place, we also have to worry about losing our heads."
The man said with a flattering expression, "How can it be the same? Under Master Xue's rule, only bad guys have to worry about their heads. We have to be good citizens in the future!"
Chen Chunxing snorted coldly: "It's better to do what you say."
Not wanting to embarrass the other party, she scanned the crowd and found that there seemed to be more people than expected.
It looks like a crowd from a distance, and it is still a crowd when you look closely.
Chen Chunxing raised an eyebrow, "How many people have you gathered?"
"Not much, not much..." the man replied, "Just a few hundred more..."
Chen Chunxing was silent.
Wow, that’s twice as much as what was said before!
She sucked her teeth and smiled with a forced smile: "You have robbed Jiufeng's family fortune? Is there anyone else left on the mountain?"
The population in ancient times was not as dense as it is today. If a stronghold had more than a thousand people, it would be worthy of the court's special attention.
"Yes, there are...but not much." The man hesitated to speak.
He has no words to say!
Long before Xue Yongan came, the village was broken up by fighting over the iron mines. Later, when the imperial court sent people, half of them were killed. Now, most of the people who can come here alive do not like fighting and killing, and they have kept their lives by hiding from place to place!
The man is in charge of intelligence among the Nine Peaks, so he can know things that are difficult for others to know.
The iron ore only suddenly appeared after Magistrate Xue took office...
Internal strife was also secretly instigated by someone during this period...
As for the garrison, there is no need to mention it. They came here openly to help County Magistrate Xue clear the obstacles!
At first he was just skeptical, but after risking his life to stop Miss Shen a few days ago and getting a brief moment of peace, the man realized that if he wanted to survive, he had to go to Honglu County!
Hundreds of people, but only two horses.
I don't know whether Yang Yucheng, the old fox, did it on purpose or really forgot, but he didn't even leave a mount for Xue Yongan.
When a group of people met, one of them was looking at the ants, while the other was staring at the sky.
Finally, it was Xue Yongan who spoke up: "If you want to be a good citizen, then follow me on your own. If you don't have the willpower... and remember, this place is not far from Honglu County. I may come back again in the future."
He was having trouble finding any laborers right now, so how could he let it go?
The bandits were trembling with fear, and they all patted their chests and said: Even if we have to run our legs off, we will crawl to Honglu County!
Seeing your companions’ necks twisted like chickens is enough to shatter all your beliefs.
Master Xue is not an ordinary master, he is the King of Hell who has come down to earth!
With more people, things could be done more easily. They quickly made a crude two-wheeled cart on the spot. They tied the horses to it, put the children on it, and the job was done.
Although it's a bit bumpy, let's just go on.
As long as you can reach the nearest town, you can rent a vehicle from a horse shop.
We didn’t walk far.
Suddenly, an angry roar came from behind.
“Where are you going!”
Chen Chunxing was sitting on the cart controlling the horse. She didn't turn around when she heard the sound. It sounded too familiar to her.
But when the bandits heard this, they were furious. They thought it was their former companions who came to block their way, so they started grabbing their weapons without thinking.
"Hey, let me see which little jerk dares to come and pick a fight now. You think my neck is too stiff, right?"
No matter how many people come, they are not enough for Master Xue to pinch, but when it is time to show off, you still have to rush to show off!
