As soon as Zhang Shisan turned around, he saw that Xia Xun's face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and his legs were trembling slightly.
It turned out that he was not afraid, but he was just holding on, and he couldn't help laughing at himself for being suspicious, so he said leisurely: "Dead people are ignorant and ignorant, what is there to be afraid of, the really terrible thing is not death, but life is better than death."
Do you know what it's like to pour hot water on a person, he will let out a terrible ghost-like scream, and even after three days and three nights, his terrible voice will continue to echo in your ears, whether you are awake or asleep.
Boiling water was poured on his body, and then the rotten flesh was brushed off layer by layer with an iron brush, and the blood was watered until he revealed Sensen's white bones, and the scene was like hell.
And then there's the hook of the intestines, which is a very interesting punishment, you need to use an iron hook, and you need to know a very good skill to hook the intestines out of the lower body, and the prisoner is tied there, and he can only watch as a part of his body gets farther and farther away from him, farther and farther away, and he will feel that his stomach is gradually empty, and his belly is deflated little by little But I don't like such a complicated punishment, I took my father's job at the age of thirteen to join the Jinyi Guard, serving under the command of Jiang Xuan, and later, in fact, the simpler the punishment is used, the more refreshing it is, when I torture people, I only need an iron hammer, first inserted into the furnace to burn red, and then the prisoner is stripped naked and tied to the torture bed, no tricks are needed, just the red-hot iron rod, to the fleshy place on the prisoner's body, the iron hammer responds to the sound, he can't struggle, but every piece of meat on his body is beating desperately, he will use all his strength, let out a terrible scream, green smoke rises from the wound, blood and grease gurgling out of the wound, hehe" Zhang Shisan laughed nervously twice: "Our Jinyiwei is divided into Nanzhen and Beizhen, Beizhen is external, Nanzhen is internal, for those Jinyiwei personnel who have violated the law and are disobedient, the criminal law patterns of Nanzhen Fusi are as wonderful as those of Beizhen Fusi, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you obediently listen to my orders, you will have merit and no fault, and you will not have the opportunity to enjoy Jinyiwei's punishment." ” The corners of Xia Xun's eyes twitched suddenly, but he quickly regained his composure.
Zhang Shisan took the corpse out and said casually: "This woman's name is Tingxiang, Yang Wenxuan spent two hundred yuan to buy it from Cuiyanlou in Tai'an Prefecture, when Yang Wenxuan was assassinated, she was next to her, and she was the one who witnessed everything, so I slaughtered her."
Since Yang Wenxuan is safe and sound, then Tingxiang must have a reason to say when she dies, so I brought her here."
The corpse was carried by the two of them to the rolling Gushui River, Zhang Shisan glanced at Xia Xun uneasily, and asked, "I just taught you, I remember everything."
Xia Xun nodded heavily, and Zhang Shisan smiled: "Very good, be smart, and act according to the plan." ” He turned around and took two steps, suddenly remembered something, looked back and asked, "Do you know the surname Shui?"
There are few people in Jiangnan who don't know the surname Shui, not to mention that when they met for the first time, Xia Xun was carrying a string of fish caught with his bare hands, so Xia Xun did not hide this, and replied calmly: "I understand, my surname Shui is very good, and I can catch fish with my bare hands." ” Zhang Shisan shook his head slightly and said: "But Yang Xu doesn't understand the surname Shui, he is completely a landlubber, you must remember this, don't show any flaws after falling into the water, from today on, in front of people who are familiar with Yang Wenxuan, you must pay attention to the fact that you don't understand the surname Shui." ” "Yes" Zhang Shisan suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"
Xia Xun shook his head, and Zhang Shisan smiled bitterly: "Yang Xu knows how to ride a horse, and his riding skills are very good, it seems that after arriving at the Unloading Stone Mountain, you have one more thing to learn." ” Xia Xun watched Zhang Shisan's figure go away, and only then did he squat down next to Tingxiang's corpse until he completely disappeared into the jungle.
He gently lifted Tingxiang's head, the girl's neck was soft, and her skin was cold to the touch, even though she had become a corpse, her beautiful face and moving body still had a considerable attraction to men, and you can imagine what a charming stunner she should have been when she was alive.
Xia Xun sighed softly: "Listen to Miss Xiang, when you are reincarnated, take a good look at it and find a good family in the next life."
He gently wiped the eyelids of the girl Tingxiang, but the eyes were still wide open, Xia Xun stared at the palpitating eyes, and after a while, he whispered: "The girl's life is hard, I am also hard, you and I can be said to be sympathetic, I know that the girl will not be blind to death, if you have a spirit in the sky, please bless me." ” His hand wiped it down lightly again, and he didn't know if it was because the stiff skin of the listening girl had begun to melt and relax, or if her unwilling soul really understood Xia Xun's words, and the eyes that made people palpitate finally closed.
Xia Xun lifted her body and gently pushed her into the river, watching her float into the distance, until her figure disappeared completely, then he took off his robe, and jumped into the water with only a pair of calf nose pants, he soaked himself all over, wiped a handful of water marks on his face, and suddenly shouted: "Help, help."
There is a Linjiazhuang two miles down the river, and the land protection of Linjiazhuang is called Lin Wudou.
Xia Xun, who was struggling in the water, was dragged up by Zhang Shisan and others who rushed to the news, and then the group quickly rushed to Linjiazhuang, and found the land security under the leadership of the villagers, and explained to him that he passed through this place with his female dependents.
Seeing that Xia Xun made such a generous move, Lin Laohan smiled, immediately collected the five treasure money, beat the gong and drum to call out all the people of the village to go out, and looked down the river.
After more than an hour, the people in the village found the corpse of Tingxiang who had been hooked by a craggy strange stone at a fork in the river where the water was slower and the river was shallow.
Tingxiang is a concubine that Xia Xun bought back from Qinglou for two hundred treasure money, and life and death will not attract much attention, plus there are land guards and many villagers to prove that she drowned, so the tolerance sent by the county government only made a simple record, and Tingxiang's death was naturally set as a very common case of drowning.
Not to mention that if there is a case in their own jurisdiction, even if it is subsequently cracked, it will be evaluated by a district that is not appeased, which is very unfavorable to the future promotion of the county lord.
Zhang Shisan bought a thin coffin, collected Tingxiang's body, and paid the local villagers to bury her in the green hills near the left, and the group continued on the road, and it was not easy for a life to go.
In the evening, they rushed to the stone unloading shack.
The stone sheds are under the north ridge of the stone dumping mountain, and the quarry of Xia Xun is built under the east ridge, which is only more than ten miles away from the village.
The heavy rocks of the unloading stone mountain are stacked, the peaks and peaks are green, the mountains are connected with the mountains and the mountains are continuous, the mountains are connected by the mountains and the mountains, the mountains are steep and the mountains are extremely difficult to climb.
The most natural resource here is stone.
Yang Xu's construction of a quarry here at the beginning of the year was not a whim, the fundamental reason was because the King of Qi wanted to rebuild the palace.
The king of Qi has only been in Qingzhou for 14 years, and it stands to reason that the palace is newly built, and there is no need to repair it, let alone rebuild it, but Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, has been back from a trip to Beiping, and he has the idea of rebuilding the palace.
Between the vassal kings and the vassal kings, the policy of "the king does not see the king" was adhered to, and there was generally no chance to meet unless the royal family was reunited during the Hajj, but there were exceptions, that is, when the emperor was ordered.
Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, was once ordered to lead his troops from Shandong to cooperate with Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to crusade against the Northern Yuan, so he had the opportunity to enter Beiping and saw the palace of the fourth brother Zhu Di.
Yan Wangfu is built on the basis of the palace of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the scale is grand, the momentum is majestic, among all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, the Yan Wangfu is the most magnificent, Zhu Laoqi saw the fourth brother's palace, just like the old rich man in the countryside once he went back to the city, saw the grandeur of the big family in the city, and immediately his eyes were hot, and when he returned to Qingzhou to see his own palace, there was quite a little bit of the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Treasure Hall and the poor feeling of the land temple, how to look at how not pleasing to the eye.
At that time, Yang Xu, who had been reused by him, took the opportunity to trick him into rebuilding the palace of Qi under the instruction of Feng Zongqi.
Zhu Yuanzhang first refused on the grounds that the court was nervous, and wrote a letter to warn his son that greed was like a flame, and if he did not curb it, he would burn the prairies; Desire is like a flood, and if it is not contained, it will be monstrous.
Although the spring at the bottom of the well is not full, it can be used every time, greedy and extravagant, it is bound to be unappeased all over the world, and as a prince, it is necessary to accumulate the surname of virtue, and think that the world is an example. ” Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, is a very rigid person, once he makes up his mind, he will not return.
Seeing his father's letter, he was unwavering, and immediately replied to complain about the bitter water, saying that his palace had a large population, and how simple and narrow the palace of Qi built on the site of Longxing Temple was, and how inconvenient it was to live, and guaranteed that the imperial court did not have to pay the surname once, and he could first use his own money to pay for the expenses, etc., and his words were very well-behaved and sincere.
Zhu Yuanzhang is strict with himself and strict with others, he himself is an extremely frugal person, even if he is an emperor, he is never willing to be extravagant in all aspects, and he also requires the officials, but for his son, he has the common disease of most old people, doting and loving, seeing that his son is pitiful, his heart is also a little sour, so he agreed.
Building a prince's mansion requires a large amount of stones, Yang Wenxuan is close to the water, so he took over this business, but if he buys stones from elsewhere and then transports them to Qingzhou, the cost is really not small, and the profit he can earn is not much, so after hearing that there are many stones in the unloading stone mountain, Yang Xu simply invested in building a stone yard here.
When Xia Xun arrived at the stone yard, a large number of stones had been piled up under the hillside, and they were neatly stacked, which was to be shipped to Qingzhou in the near future.
On the cliffs, on the slopes, there are still many swarthy people still working.
The steward Lao Wang brought seven or eight foremen to stand at the foot of the mountain to greet him, and when he saw Xia Xun arrive, he immediately greeted him with a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said diligently: "The little one has seen the owner." ” Xia Xun asked Zhang Shisan to take the handle, jumped off the car, glanced at the mountain, and said with a smile: "Get up, you are very diligent, it's almost dusk, and you're still doing things." ” Steward Wang nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the owner is so trusted, the little one dares not to serve the owner, please, your residence has been cleaned, please." ” Xia Xun came here to unload the stone mountain, the main purpose was to find a reason for himself to temporarily avoid returning to Qingzhou, and at the same time, during this time, he had to make all kinds of preparations to pretend to be Yang Wenxuan here, but since he came under the guise of inspecting the quarry, he couldn't ignore the progress of the project here, so as soon as he had dinner, he immediately met with the big and small stewards of the quarry.
When Xia Xun arrived, it was already after dusk, and it was already dark after dinner, but the lights in the hall were not bright, and the oil lamp was deliberately placed close to the stewards, Xia Xun sat on the dimly lit upper seat, and asked the stewards about the recent production of the quarry: "Steward Wang, the first batch of stones in the field, but they must be supplied to the Qi Palace, and it must not be delayed, how is the progress of the quarrying now, is there enough manpower?"
Steward Wang hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Don't worry, the workers have done a good job now, and the speed of quarrying has increased by two percent compared with the beginning of the year."
The manpower is also sufficient, and at least 100 strong laborers have been recruited in the field in the past two months, and according to the instructions of the owner, each person is paid 100 yuan a day, and the salary is good, so naturally no one will cherish his strength.
Besides, there are also foremen watching, there are really those who steal and play tricks, once they find out, they will be sent away immediately. ” "Yes, yes, although the owner can rest assured, our quarry will definitely not miss the start of the palace, the king is dedicated, and the brothers are all working hard."
As soon as the king's steward spoke, all the foremen responded with a tongue.

Speaking of which, Yang Wenxuan is indeed a generous proprietor, and in his quarry, each worker is paid 100 wen a day, which is very fair and kind.
You must know that at that time, a county magistrate of Zhengqipin, a year's salary was only 45 taels of silver, and the salary of a horseman in the yamen was 40 taels a year, which was about 30,000 yuan in later generations, which was about the same as the county master.
It's just that the 45 taels of the county order are net income, and his housing, travel, attachés, food and clothing expenses are all paid and subsidized by the imperial court, and the groom does not have these treatments.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a poor child, and he hates corrupt officials the most, in his opinion, being an official is not to make a fortune, and the income gap between civil servants and ordinary people should not be a world apart.
Although the workers of Yang Wenxuan's quarry work hard, but a hundred yuan a day, the total income of a year's work is actually almost the same as that of the "driver master" in the yamen, such a generous treatment, for those croppers, of course, is a very cherished opportunity, as long as the stewards do not respond to their duties and manage strictly, in order to keep this job, it is indeed impossible for the workers to steal and play tricks.
Zhang 13 immediately heard the problem, and interjected: "Steward Wang, I remember that there are not many young and strong laborers in your village, at the beginning of the year, Gongzi recruited workers at a high price of 100 yuan a day, and all the people who can be used in your village are here, and there are not so many people to work, why is there suddenly more than 100 strong laborers now, don't you pretend to be public and private, and arrange all your relatives and friends who are three relatives and six deceased, old, weak, sick and disabled, if I find out that you don't work or eat vacancies, delaying the big event of Gongzi, hum" :
