Chapter 507: The people do not report, the officials do not investigate

Oh, Wang Yugui was surprised when he heard this. What kind of attitude does this foreman have? He is so arrogant, even Zhang Siwen is not as arrogant as him!

"Foreman, is it your master Zhang's intention not to install the fence?" Wang Yugui looked at the arrogant foreman and raised his voice to ask

The foreman heard the question and looked at Wang Yugui: "That's not the case. Our Master Zhang doesn't have the time to take care of such trivial matters!"

He patted his chest and said, "Of course, everything on the construction site is under the charge of me, the foreman!"

"Oh, so it was your idea not to install the fence?" Wang Yugui raised his voice and continued to ask.

The foreman heard this and smiled: "Yeah, so what?"

He rolled up his sleeves, glared at Wang Yugui, and said loudly: "It will be inconvenient for our workers to go in and out and transport things if the fence is installed, so of course I won't install it."

"What's the matter, young master? What does it have to do with you? What's it to you?"

"Of course he has the right to care. He is my friend and speaks for me." Boss Cai at the side could not help but stepped forward and said loudly

The foreman looked at Boss Cai and said, "Oh, Boss Cai!"

"We have been busy demolishing and building houses for these days, and I haven't heard you say anything."

"Why did you listen to that young master's instigation today and come here to cause trouble for us?"

"A few days ago, you were demolishing the house and transporting materials. You had to go in and out, and I didn't say anything to you."

"I used cloth to surround the shop myself, but building a building like this will take more than a day or two."

"It's too dusty today. We sell food in our store. What's wrong with asking you to put up a fence? Shouldn't we do that?" Boss Cai was also angry.

The foreman listened and smiled: "This? Boss Cai, our construction site needs people to come in and out, it is not convenient to install a fence."

"Since you've fenced off the store, we don't need to put up fences, right? You should be a good person and stick to it, haha!"

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'm still busy with my work, I don't have time to chat with you guys."

Having said that, he was ready to slip away.

Wang Yugui and Boss Cai were both stunned. They didn’t expect the foreman to be so rude!

"Okay, if you don't have time to talk to us, then we'll ask the yamen runners to come and talk to you," Wang Yugui said loudly.

Boss Cai also said loudly: "Yes, Painter Xiao Wang, you just watch here, I will go and call the bailiffs now. They are rebelling against him, there is no law!"

"Ha, who are you trying to scare? The government can control everything, but how can it control us building a house on our own land? Haha." The foreman laughed nonchalantly.

Wang Yugui was speechless. This guy was really ignorant and fearless. Okay, I'll teach him a lesson today.

After hearing this, Boss Cai was also furious: "Okay, if you are not afraid, just wait!"

As he said this, he ran to call the bailiff, and soon, he brought over two bailiffs who were patrolling the streets.

"Oh, Painter Wang, you are here too." Both yamen runners knew Wang Yugui, and seeing that he was also there, they greeted him with a smile.

Wang Yugui smiled: "Yes, brothers, this street is a food street. He can't build a house without a fence at the construction site. There is too much dust. You have to take care of it!"

"We must take care of it!" a bailiff nodded hurriedly.

Another one hurriedly explained: "Painter Xiao Wang, we actually noticed this problem two days ago."

"It was just that they were busy transporting bricks, tiles and timber at the time, so we didn't ask them to add fences."

"I thought I'd let them load it after they've transported all the materials!"

"Yes, yes, if you don't report to the police today, we will come to find them too," said a yamen runner.

He turned around and shouted at the construction site: "Where's the foreman? Come here!"

When the foreman saw the yamen runners coming, he hurried over and said with a smile, "It's me, officers. What can I do for you?"

"What's wrong? There's too much dust on your construction site. The nearby businesses and passersby are complaining. You need to quickly put up a fence to block the dust, okay?" the yamen runner raised his voice and said

The foreman listened and looked at the yamen runners: "Hey, two officers, how can there be no dust when building a house?"

"Even if I add a fence, won't the top still be covered with dust? Can I also cover the sky above?"

When Wang Yugui heard this, he was shocked. What the hell is this guy talking about? It's all nonsense!

Just as he was about to interrupt, he heard a yamen runner glaring and shouting, "Just pretend when I told you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"You can block the dust below if you can, but I have nothing to do with the dust in the sky. If you're willing to cover up the top as well, that would be even better!"

"Ah? Hey, officer, what are you talking about? You, you are forcing me to do something I can't do. How can I handle this?" The foreman laughed awkwardly.

Another yamen runner glared at him and said, "Damn it, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Did you get caught in the act? I asked you to add more barriers!"

"I'm telling you, install the fence for me today, otherwise, I'll stop working and fine you tomorrow. I'll resume work when the fence is installed!"

"Ah? Oh, officers, what law stipulates this? I'm building a house somewhere else and I don't need to add any fences," the foreman said anxiously.

A yamen runner shouted: "This is the law of our Wangtian County. The yamen has a clear regulation that building a house must not disturb the residents."

"No one else asked you to install fences. That's their business. Stop talking nonsense to me!"

"That's it. We'll come over tomorrow morning to check. If the fence hasn't been installed yet, you'll just have to wait and go to the government office with us!"

"Okay, that's how it should be"

"That's great, someone is finally taking care of them. We have been eating ashes for days."

"Yes, that's great. We should add a fence because the dust is too thick..."

At this time, many other merchants had gathered around. When they heard what the yamen runner said, the crowd burst into cheers.

After the two yamen runners finished speaking, they ignored the foreman and turned to Boss Cai and said, "Boss Cai, don't worry, we will definitely take care of it for you tomorrow!"

"Okay, thank you, my two brothers, for your hard work."

"Come, have a bowl of wontons in my shop," Mr. Cai thanked them and politely invited the two runners to have wontons in his shop.

The two yamen runners waved their hands and one said, "That can't be done. It's against the rules!"

"Yes, let alone wontons, we dare not even eat a sesame bun. Lord Hai said that we cannot take anything from merchants," another yamen runner also said hurriedly.

As the two yamen runners spoke, they turned to look at Wang Yugui, clasped their fists to him, said goodbye, and then left.

The foreman glared at Wang Yugui and Boss Cai angrily: "Hey, damn it, officials are big mouths, whatever they say is true!"

"Humph, even if I put up barriers, you guys will still have to eat the dust!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the construction site.

Wang Yugui smiled and said to Boss Cai: "Boss Cai, you should have reported it to the police earlier. Look how helpful the yamen runners are."

"It will be handled neatly in a moment!"

"Alas, the morning papers are useless. In fact, they patrol the streets every day, how could they not see what's going on?" Boss Cai smiled bitterly.

He added: "They are also turning a blind eye. It is better to have less trouble than more."

"This is what they call 'if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate it!'"
