When Zhao Hao's father and son heard the news and rushed to Beitabang, it was already the middle of the night.

At this time, the torrential rain was still pouring down, but the torches were shining brightly on the embankment. The people in the county are almost out of their nests to prevent any more enemies from sabotaging.

Under the guidance of Pan Jitao, hundreds of people urgently repaired the damaged river embankment.

As soon as he saw the two of them, Pan Zhongcheng had to roar angrily: "It's too bad, it's just too bad!" They should all be poured into concrete and built into the embankment! ”

"Is the damage bad?" Second Master Zhao asked hurriedly. According to experience, the first wave of flood peaks arrived at dawn, and at this time there was a problem with the embankment, but it was necessary to die.

"Not really, it can be fixed before dawn." Pan Jitao sneered and said, "A group of Hanhan, holding a chisel? If the head wants to dig the embankment, it is like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and a toad wants to eat swan meat. ”

"Whew, I'm scared to death." Zhao Shouzheng's expression was relieved, and he turned back to his son with a sober face and said, "I thought it was going to be over." ”

"Not really." Zhao Hao replied casually, in fact, he was not worried about the embankment. Concrete made of high-quality Portland cement mixed with iron powder, at least in this era, has only one word to describe it, and that is 'invincible'.

But Zhao Gongzi's face was still very ugly, and he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the Xu family's quest for peace was just a delaying tactic, so it only stopped for a few days, and he actually poisoned himself again!

In Zhao Gongzi's opinion, there is only one Xu family who has such a big enmity with him and such a powerful enemy.

He is not afraid of provocations by others, and he is also willing to strive for a more favorable situation in the struggle.

But this matter completely crossed his bottom line, how could there be such a vicious person in this world?

Could it be that when the Xu family moved this thought, they couldn't think of the consequences of the embankment breaking? The flood will instantly inundate the nearby villages, and how many unsuspecting people will die?

Although they failed in the end, it was just a lack of ability, and it did not change the nature of their evil deeds!

The so-called 'all evils are led by creation'. In Zhao Hao's view, even if it is an attempt to sabotage, only the specific executor can get a reduced punishment.

As for the mastermind who is hiding behind the scenes, he has completed all his criminal acts, and naturally he should be punished severely without any discount.

~~

After making sure that the embankment was okay, he separated from Zhao Shouzheng.

Dad wanted to stay on the embankment, and Pan Jitao carefully checked whether there was any damage elsewhere in the embankment, while Zhao Hao came to the Dragon King Temple a few miles north of the embankment.

The inside and outside of the Dragon King Temple were also as bright as day, and hundreds of gunmen battalion gunmen were on guard.

In order to prevent an accomplice from robbing the prisoner, Zhao Hao put the third batch of thirty veterans of the Qi family army who came to defect here.

Seeing Childe coming, the gunman guarding the door hurriedly saluted and got out of the way.

Hearing that Yanei arrived, Xiong Dianshi hurriedly came out and welcomed Zhao Hao into the main hall.

Maybe other people in the county still don't know much about Zhao Hao, and even think that he is just an ordinary, motherless little yaman who loves to revolve around his father.

But Lao Xiong is a person who understands, and knows that Zhao Erye is in charge of the whole county, but Zhao Gongzi is in charge of Zhao Erye, so he naturally has to maintain respect for this Yanei.

As soon as Zhao Hao entered, he saw two and a half children, sleeping on a straw mat.

"It's these two dolls, the gang of thieves who found them." Xiong Xiasheng said, kicking the older child's ass. "Get up, Childe has come to see you."

"Oh?" The boy was Miva, and he sat up with his sleepy eyes rubbed.

"Go back to sleep." Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "Let's talk about it later." ”

After speaking, he and Xiong Dianshi went straight into the apse, leaving only Miwa with a confused face there in a daze.

Who's this? Why did you call me up? Why don't you talk to me? So why bother me to sleep?

~~

Before he entered the apse, he heard the sound of beatings and screams from inside.

"How many of them are there?" Zhao Hao asked as he walked.

"I said there were twenty people, but only sixteen were caught, so I should have run four sentry posts." Xiong Dianshi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:

"When arrested, four more resistors were killed, and two were seriously injured. So there were only ten of them on trial. ”

"That's right." Zhao Hao knew that the four unlucky eggs were beaten to death by the angry Minzhuang.

But in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, this is never delved into.

In fact, even if 400 years later, the legal system is more sound, dog thieves and cattle thieves who commit crimes in the countryside will definitely be beaten to death after being caught by the masses.

If you die, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

So whatever Xiong Dianshi said, he believed it.

When I entered the apse, I saw the ten survivors hanging from the beams like a row of roast ducks hanging from the oven.

The topless Minzhuang were torturing them, and rattans, wooden sticks, leather whips, candles, and the like were all in battle, beating them to cry and cry for their fathers and mothers, and scream wow.

"These thieves are very hard-mouthed, and they refuse to confess, so they can only be tortured." Xiong Dianshi didn't know much about Zhao Gongzi, lest he be frightened by the scene in front of him.

"We have all recruited, and we have beaten ......" prisoners covered in bruises, and there was a weak protest.

"If you don't tell the truth, you should fight!" Xiong Dianshi snorted coldly and explained to Zhao Hao: "These guys have confessed to each other before, saying that they are hired homeless people and don't know anything. ”

"The result?"

"It's all lying." Xiong Dianshi said hatefully: "They all have calluses on their right hands, which are left by holding knives all year round. They have strong hips, calluses on their inner thighs, and are apparently riding horses all year round. ”

As he spoke, he sneered and said, "Ordinary soldiers can't get a horse to ride. How can a person who can ride a horse all day be reduced to a homeless? ”

"Makes sense." Zhao Hao nodded, a little impressed by this Xiong Dianshi. Unexpectedly, in addition to being a madman for repairing embankments, he is also good at his own work.

"Who does Uncle Xiong think they are?"

"There could be two kinds of people. A soldier or a private guard raised by a wealthy family. Xiong Dianshi lowered his voice and said: "No matter which one it is, the identity of its owner is not trivial, and the name must be like thunder." ”

Zhao Hao nodded, becoming more and more sure of his guess, then turned his head and looked coldly at the gang of 'roast ducks in the oven', and said softly: "It's useless to have a hard mouth, this son already knows who your master is." ”

Wu Baihu and the others, who had a blue nose and swollen face, reluctantly raised their heads and looked at this little child who jumped out of nowhere.

"You are from Huating," I heard Zhao Hao state in a firm tone: "Your master's surname is Xu." ”

Many of the 'roast ducks in the hanging oven' couldn't help but open their mouths, and their squinted eyes still shone with amazement.

"Do you want me to go on?" Seeing this, Zhao Hao became more and more confident, hugged his arms and said: "If this son says everything, you won't have to recruit." ”
