After the kiln opening ceremony is over, the sacrifices and the offering table are removed, and the bricks can be officially fired.

More than a dozen masters who built the kiln factory came again today, bringing with them a lot of brick-making tools. The workers in Chenjiacun followed these masters and started working in style.

There is a clear division of labor for each process of collecting soil, mixing mud, making bricks, drying bricks, stacking bricks, loading the kiln, lighting the fire, and leaving the kiln.

The kiln factory is busy but not chaotic.

Chen Changsheng and Li Zheng walked to Magistrate Bai. Li Zheng was about to kneel down and salute when Bai Xiao stopped him.

"I am visiting privately today, so there is no need to bow so as not to disturb the villagers."

Only then did Li Zheng give up.

Bai Xiao continued, "Mrs. Chen, your three brick kilns are not small in scale. First you said they could produce 600,000 bricks. I was worried that you were wrong. I was convinced after seeing them today."

He looked at the busy construction site, nodded approvingly and said, "I didn't expect that a kiln factory could be built in a small village. It's really not easy. As far as I know, there has never been a village in this dynasty that can build a kiln factory. You are the first one." .Chen Lizheng, you have merit."

When Li Zheng heard this, he felt happy in his heart, but he still said, "Your Majesty the County Magistrate, the credit for this is not mine, Chen Laigen, but should go to Sister-in-law Chen."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Tang Xiaolong from the patrol running towards the kiln factory and the others.

"Uncle Li Zheng, uncle, what's wrong, a group of people came to Zhaojiacun. The patrol team on duty today didn't let them in, so they directly injured people."

"What?" Chen Lizheng was furious, "What are the people from Zhaojia Village doing with these dogs?"

"They asked us to hand over Cai and the others. They are heading to the ancestral hall now."

Li Zheng said hurriedly, "Let's go there too!"

Bai Xiao was puzzled, "Chen Lizheng, what happened?"

While walking, several people told Bai Xiao and Master Zhan the whole story of how the Cai family came to make trouble.

**

Over there at the ancestral hall.

"Uncle Zhao, it's them. They detained my husband and mother-in-law for a day. It's really bullying. They don't take you seriously at all."

The person who said this was Wang Yuqin, the daughter-in-law of the old godly woman. She was tall and thin, with triangular eyes and a mean appearance.

Wang Yuqin waited at home all night yesterday but did not see Zhao Daming and Cai coming back. She thought that someone might have discovered them in Chenjiacun and went to Zhao Lizheng for help early in the morning.

Zhao Lizheng originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Wang Yuqin said that if she didn't save her man, forget about thirty taels.

Zhao Li was rushing for thirty taels of silver, and felt that this was a good opportunity to suppress Chenjiacun, so he led eight strong men straight to Chenjiacun.

"What kind of patrol team are you? You are detaining people from our village for no reason. Get out of here." The strong man next to Zhao Li came up and knocked over the two people guarding the ancestral hall and broke in directly.

When Lao Qianpo, Zhao Daming, and Li Dalang saw their people coming, they immediately found their backbone and became arrogant again.

Mrs. Cai cried loudly, "Li Zheng, you are finally here. My old lady was locked up here all day and night and almost died."

Zhao Lizheng didn't care about her life or death, he only cared about his own money, "Have you got the thirty taels of silver?"

Ms. Cai didn't even get a coin, so she lied and said, "I saw it at Zhao Daya's house. Let's go search it now."

A dozen or so people rushed outside and met with Chen Changsheng and others who came in.

Chen Lizheng said, "Zhao Lizheng, what are you doing? Injuring my villagers in my Chenjia Village is too arrogant."

Zhao Lizheng snorted coldly, "I want to ask you again, why did Brother Chen detain the villagers of my Zhaojia Village?"

Chen Changsheng took a step forward and shouted sternly, "Lao Qian Cai broke into people's houses many times and robbed my things. Yesterday, she even injured my sister-in-law, who is still awake at this moment!"

Her eyes were sharp, and Cai felt guilty looking at her.

"Is this happening?" Zhao Lizheng looked at Wang Yuqin and then at Cai.

Wang Yuqin came over early in the morning and said that Cai and Zhao Daming had been detained by Chenjiacun, but did not disclose the details.

Ms. Cai winced and said, "It was Li Dalang who beat him. If you want to arrest him, arrest him. It has nothing to do with me."

Li Dalang panicked, "It's obviously you. It was you who first encouraged me to come to Chenjiacun with you, and that's what happened."

"I asked you to come to Chenjiacun, and you came? You obviously had evil intentions and wanted to attack that woman, but you injured her." Ms. Cai looked at Li Dalang and continued, "Zhao Li is coming to take me back to the village. , you should be alone in Chenjiacun."

Li Dalang became anxious when he heard that this old godly woman was really not a good person, and she actually sold him.

Since I can't leave by myself, it's better to fight to the death with the old godmother.

"You damn bitch, no one can leave today, I will fight with you!"

He rushed towards Ms. Cai, grabbed her throat, tightened his hands, and looked at the old Qian woman with blood-red eyes.

The onlookers didn't know that Li Dalang would do this. They were all so shocked that they didn't know what to do. For a moment, they forgot to go up to rescue the siege.

The old Qian woman felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe. She kept struggling with her limbs to free herself from the confinement, and she also made a gurgling sound in her throat.

In desperation, he found a stone from somewhere, grabbed it, and threw it into the face of the person in front of him.

Li Dalang saw blood dripping from the middle of his forehead, and he slowly fell to the ground.

"Killing!" Wang Yuqin let out a harsh scream.

The people present were shocked again.

On the contrary, Chen Changsheng and Bai Xiao were the first to react. They reached Li Dalang's side in a few steps. One of them reached for his nose and the other touched his neck.

After a while, the two looked at each other and shook their heads.

People, dead.

Everyone took a deep breath again.

Ms. Cai had just freed herself from the situation of being strangled. She was still cursing and cursing, "You damn bitch, you actually tried to strangle my old lady to death. It's only because of my strength. You bitch, you can't." Send it to the official!"

She took a "tui" sip and shouted to everyone, "Catch this murderer quickly. Don't let him escape. You must testify for me when the time comes."

Everyone: [There is indeed a murderer, but it is not Li Dalang. 】

Bai Xiao stood up slowly, his face darkening, "Come here, take down the murderer!"

He had only been in office for a few days, but a murder occurred under his rule, and the person was killed under his nose. This is too arrogant.

The attendants immediately stepped forward and held Cai down on the spot, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Hey, you arrested the wrong person. I'm not a murderer. I almost had someone kill me. You made a mistake."

Bai Xiao was very angry and shouted sternly, "Zhao Cai is a bold and cunning person. She has no law and kills people in public. Her crimes are heinous. Arrest her and put her in jail temporarily. She will be tried again tomorrow."

Cai woke up instantly, looked at Li Dalang lying on the ground, and said with disbelief, "Did I kill someone?"

Zhao Daming nodded sadly.

His mother killed someone.

It’s over.

It's all over.

~~

I really didn’t want to write about Lao Qianpo and Li Dalang anymore, so I sent them away directly.
