The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again
Chapter 79: The Great General Returns to Beijing
Fortunately, everyone's injuries were not serious. Old Man Wang did suffer some internal injuries, but he has already vomited out the blood clots, so it's not serious. He just needs to rest for a few days and replenish some nutrition and he will recover soon.
Old man Liu's waist was sprained, and it would take some time to heal. In addition, he had been overworked for many years, which led to a herniated disc. He would have to lie in bed for a few days to recover from the sprain.
The others only had skin injuries. The doctor disinfected and bandaged them, and just kept them away from water.
After treating their wounds, Cheng Laoer wanted to send them back, but was refused. Now that the gang had all been arrested, even if there were other evildoers, they would have retreated by now. Besides, Wei Batian was with them, so he could rest assured.
So Cheng Lao Er followed them. He had experienced too many things today and was too tired. His eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds and he wished he could lie down on the street and sleep with his clothes on.
Everyone slept soundly that night, except for the Wang family, of course. Four words can be used to describe their mood.
It is thrilling, with ups and downs, twists and turns, but no danger.
Boss Cheng and others who were still in Cangwu Town knew nothing about this. He was transporting bricks in the dark with a group of young people and had no idea that there was a huge surprise waiting for him in Pingyang County.
In the middle of the night, they did not lie in bed and sleep soundly like everyone else. Instead, they all wore black clothes and black scarves on their faces, and quietly transported bricks from the brick kiln to the foundation of the brick factory at the foot of the mountain.
It is worth mentioning that after everyone’s unremitting efforts, the tiles were finally fired successfully recently.
At this point, we can finally cover the exposed roof with tiles.
Dawn gradually broke, and a thick white fog, like a soft feather blanket, gently covered Cangwu Town. The loud crowing of roosters rang out, and human voices began to appear in the town. The earth woke up.
The young people of Chengjia Village had just laid down in the makeshift shack when they soon heard loud snoring. Passersby who heard it thought it was a wild animal coming down the mountain.
The workers who came to work in groups in the morning looked at the construction site, which was empty when they left yesterday evening, but was now piled with hills of bricks. They all showed expressions of disbelief.
At this time, Cheng Dafu, who had a good sleep last night, came out to explain with a smile.
"These are the bricks we transported from somewhere else. They arrived last night. Look, everyone has been unloading the bricks all night and is still sleeping now.
Some people were skeptical and secretly looked around, only to find that there were indeed many carriage tracks and horse hoof prints, which put their doubts to rest.
Seeing that they believed him, Cheng Dafu breathed a sigh of relief out of sight of everyone. Fortunately, he was smart and had someone drive a horse-drawn carriage around the area a few times, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain.
Today is the same as yesterday, everyone is allowed to eat first and then work.
Now that we have the bricks, we can divide them out and start building the wall today. The building process is very fast and by the time we finish work in the afternoon, we have built seven or eight factory buildings.
The people in Chengjia Village slept until noon and then got up to work.
First, build a large warehouse at the entrance of the cave, which can be used for loading goods and facilitate entry and exit.
After Cheng Lao Da woke up, he handed over the job of collecting tea oil seeds in the town to Cheng Qi, and he took Cheng Lao Wu, Cheng Wu Niu and five or six brothers from the clan and drove a horse-drawn carriage to Pingyang County to collect tea oil seeds.
In addition to collecting tea oil seeds, there is also the task of going to the blacksmith shop to customize thresher parts. This matter is quite urgent. The original blacksmith in Cangwu Town died in the plague. Helplessly, he could only take the drawings to Pingyang County to have a look.
In the Pingyang County government office, Yuan Qingping had loose eye bags, dark circles under his eyes, and was exhausted, having not slept all night.
Last night, he had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a burst of ghostly howling. He hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to check. It was from the mouth of Constable Yan that he learned that so many shocking cases had occurred under his jurisdiction.
He was so furious that he wished he could torture that group of daring scum to death on the spot. After venting his anger, he fell into deep guilt and self-blame.
He thought he was a good official who was honest, diligent and caring for his people, but he allowed his people to suffer injustice and have no one to turn to for help.
How will he face them tomorrow?
He tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.
After finally making it to dawn, the drum outside the county government office had been sounding and stopping, stopping and sounding again for a long time.
In the court, the people who brought the lawsuit were shoulder to shoulder, and together with the defendant, the entire hall was packed so tightly that there was no room to stand.
There were crowds of people watching outside the gate and the house was packed with people.
The victims felt wronged and cried out to heaven and earth.
In just a few months, this group of villains committed hundreds of thefts and robberies. The most unforgivable thing was that they killed six people. They were several times more evil than the bandits in the mountains.
Yuan Qingping's face was clouded with dark clouds. He opened his eyes angrily, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged with his heavy breathing. He was shaking with anger, and the rage in his chest could no longer be contained. He couldn't help but slam the table and stood up.
Every single incident has evidence and evidence, and the crimes are too heinous to list in detail.
Brother Long and his gang are notorious for their crimes and have committed all kinds of evil. Their crimes are unforgivable. If we simply behead them as a warning to the public, it would be too easy for them and would not be able to relieve the resentment in everyone's hearts.
Several main culprits were sentenced to be executed by slow slicing in the vegetable market three days later, and the others were beheaded.
After the county magistrate made the verdict, there was thunderous applause at the scene. The people cheered and ran around to tell each other, raising their hands in celebration.
Finally, this scourge was eradicated.
When Brother Long and his group heard that they would die a miserable death, they were so scared that they fainted. After the bailiffs dragged them away, puddles of smelly liquid were left on the ground.
All the yamen runners were fined two months' salary, and the county magistrate fined himself half a year's salary, which were used together with the property confiscated from the gangsters' den to compensate the victims.
Yuan Qingping also compiled a file of the entire case and handed it to his superiors.
Originally, his performance in dealing with the flood and plague was pretty good, and he had hopes of promotion. But now that something like this has happened, not only is his promotion hopeless, he may even lose his job.
He took the initiative to explain everything clearly, perhaps things could turn around, but Liu Deyuan was dead, and he didn't know who the court would send to be the new Yinzhou County Magistrate.
Speaking of Liu Deyuan, this guy didn't forget to dig a trap for Zhang Shizhong even when he was about to die.
After Liu Deyuan's death, Zhang Shizhong realized that something was wrong and rushed to the capital with the bodies of Shi Zhenxiang and Liu Deyuan.
Yinzhou County was thousands of miles away from the capital. Even though they rode at full speed and traveled day and night, and encountered several waves of assassins who were trying to kill Shi Zhenxiang on the way, it took the group seven or eight days to get back to the capital.
As early as a few days ago, the emperor's desk was piled with memorials about the general who was stubborn, domineering, slaughtering his colleagues and eliminating dissidents.
Some even said that the general had the army and was plotting a rebellion.
Some people said that the general was stealing and enriching himself, and that the plague was fake, and that his oppression of the people, corruption, and deception of his superiors and subordinates were real.
After all, plagues from ancient times to the present have never been incurable. How come no one in the court, civil or military, was willing to provide disaster relief, but he, a military general, dared to face the plague head-on? In the end, he even found a miracle medicine, and said it was donated by the mysterious Medicine King Valley.
It's ridiculous. I've never heard of Medicine King Valley. He must have made it up.
The civil and military officials became more and more excited as they spoke, as if they had found the truth. In the end, some people even speculated that it was not a plague at all, but a poison given by the general to pretend to be safe.
Zhang Shizhong had just entered the city gate and had not even had time to go back to the general's mansion when he was invited into the palace by the eunuchs waiting at the gate.
