The recruitment process is going well, all kinds of workers and tenant farmers, as long as the money is enough.

As for the monk, there is a signboard of nine candles, which is naturally more popular.

After three days of screening, Wen Qingzhu finally selected thirty monks and three thousand workers and tenant farmers.

The monks could take them away immediately, but the workers and tenant farmers needed to prepare, so Wen Qingzhu gave them a kind of identity badge.

Before leaving Texas, Wen Qingzhu finally asked Liu Guang to be brought up.

As soon as he saw Wen Qingzhu, Liu Guang immediately knelt down: "Your Excellency, please surrender, the lower official did not do what the adult ordered." ”

In the three days that they stayed, the Jia family directly chartered the inn opposite Baiyun Temple.

Lu Jiajun only left 500 people in the town, and the rest went to the outside of Texas to help inspect.

So Wen Qingzhu is now sitting in the lobby, looking at Liu Guang condescendingly, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "You didn't hesitate to delay the time for what you ordered, and I came here in person, and it only took three days to finish this matter, what are you Liu Guang doing?!" ”

In the last sentence, Wen Qingzhu's aggravated nasal voice.

Liu Guang, who was kneeling, was sweating profusely, and he was now in turmoil, but he still replied in an orderly manner: "My lord, isn't this the end of the year?" There are too many things in Texas, and the lower officials are really too busy. ”

"If you're too busy, I'll send someone to help." Wen Qingzhu interrupted him ruthlessly, "I sent a letter to the capital three days ago, and by mid-November at the latest, the newcomers will come, so you get ready." ”

Liu Guang's hand clutched the ground, he was very similar to refute, but Wen Qingzhu's identity, who dared to refute her words!

After struggling inwardly for a long time, he finally accepted his fate: "Thank you, sir." ”

Leaving the inn, Liu Guang sat in a sedan chair, leaning on cushions, his hands in his sleeves.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said in a low voice: "You forced me." ”

In the inn.

Wen Qingzhu looked at the news from his subordinates, and his brows became more and more furrowed.

The problems in Texas are not much less than those in Yunzhou.

After nightfall, Wen Qingzhu sat in the room, sitting on the Texas plan.

Suddenly, the light in the lampshade flickered, and the shadow of the pen shaft shook.

Beidou, who was standing in the hall, immediately ran to the window, pushed open the window to take a look, and carefully looked around.

It was deathly quiet and there was no sound.

Soon, the shadow of the lamp shook again.

Wen Qingzhu immediately stood up and looked around.

Is this Liu Guang's decision to do it?

Suddenly, an arrow shot towards Beidou.

Nail it to the pillar with a thud.

A note is tied to the tail of the arrow.

Wen Qingzhu walked over, took it down and took a look, it read: Get out of the city immediately.

She walked to the window and looked outside, feeling very wrong.

Does that mean something is going to happen here?

Wen Qingzhu looked at Beidou and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Beidou, who had always been vigilant, shook his head at this moment.

He was strange that there was no one or anything else approaching.

Can't even feel Beidou?

Wen Qingzhu turned around and prepared to go back to the desk.

I don't want to see one more thing on the table at a glance - a wooden pony.

For some reason, the direction that the wooden pony was facing was actually Wen Qingzhu's side, with two black eyes, as if he could see people, looking at her quietly.

Wen Qingzhu felt that the wooden pony was very weird, which made her feel an indescribable discomfort.

"Beidou, you pull out the arrow! Throw the wooden pony and see. ”

Beidou did as he was told.

With a thud, the arrow flew over.

But that wooden pony turned out to be crooked a lot!

At this moment, Wen Qingzhu's hairs stood upside down!

What a thing!

Wen Qingzhu immediately stepped back and ordered: "Go!" Get out of here! ”

Without any hesitation, Beidou picked up Wen Qingzhu on his back and jumped out of the window directly.

I just landed, and I found that there was no one in the yard!

A chill rose from the soles of his feet.

This is where she lives, and it can't be that there is no one.

The most important thing is that the surroundings are too quiet!

Wen Qingzhu got goosebumps, and Beidou was back to back, vigilant around.

Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu felt as if someone was watching her.

Looking up, the wooden pony on the desk was actually standing on the edge of the window, its head bowed slightly, as if looking at Wen Qingzhu.

"What is this?" A cold sweat broke out in Wen Qingzhu's palms.

Beidou behind her is also nervous, something is wrong here!

No one answered Wen Qingzhu, Beidou couldn't speak, but if his throat was strong, he could still make a ho-ho sound.

"Ho-ho! Ho ho! Beidou suddenly grabbed her hand and reminded her.

Wen Qingzhu squinted his eyes and looked over to Beidou, and actually saw a paper man who looked like a slave, holding a kitchen knife, walking this way.

"I'll go!" Wen Qingzhu has seen a lot of mythological stories.

Now she's kind of in a book.

The paper man who can move, and the arrow her Trojan horse, there is no one else around!

Wen Qingzhu tried to call someone, but no one responded at all.

Cold sweat slipped down his forehead drop by drop, and Wen Qingzhu had never felt that time had ever slowed down.

Seeing the paper figure getting closer and closer, Wen Qingzhu said loudly: "Beidou! Go grab the kitchen knife! Be careful not to touch that paper figure! ”88

Before the words fell, Beidou's figure moved, and he reached out and grabbed the kitchen knife.

Pulling hard, he directly tore off the paper man's arm, and at the same time, the kitchen knife easily reached Beidou's hand.

Wen Qingzhu stared at the paper figure tightly.

His body shook rapidly, and a fire suddenly appeared on his body, which was directly burned to ashes.

"What's going on?" Wen Qingzhu looked back behind him, and a vague figure suddenly appeared.

This is a person!

In the darkness, a clear voice came: "Don't worry, my lord, I was sent by Mr. Wu to help you, these things are basically not in danger, as long as the adults wait until dawn." ”

"Mr. None?" Wen Qingzhu still wanted to ask, but that person had already disappeared.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was no other movement around.

When Wen Qingzhu unintentionally looked up, he found that the wooden horse along the window had also disappeared.

Looking at the surrounding environment, the courtyard, the grass and trees, the bluestone slabs, the courtyard gate, and the huge moon overhead.

There was no wind tonight, and the moon was surprisingly large, and it was round—

"That's not right! Today it's not fifteen and it's not sixteen! Today is twenty-four! It should be the last quarter moon! How could it be a full moon! ”

Wen Qingzhu stared at the moon, and the creepy feeling in his heart appeared uncontrollably.

Looking around, she tried to take a step, and the sound of her footsteps was still there.

Perhaps because of this strange moonlight, Wen Qingzhu felt that the surroundings were very bright, and every grass and tree was clearly visible.

The man just said that there was no danger, and now that an hour has passed, there is indeed no danger.

Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes, and suddenly a familiar shout came from a distance.

"My lord! My lord! Where are you? ”

"Lord Wen!"

"Lord Wen!"

Among these voices, there are also the sound of panicked and hurried footsteps.

Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes suddenly, and those voices disappeared abruptly.

She seemed to understand something, and whispered a few words to Beidou.

Then Wen Qingzhu took out a small bottle from his sleeve, which contained a red powder.

Beidou carried Wen Qingzhu on her back, the two of them closed their eyes at the same time, she uncorked the bottle in her hand, and with Beidou's actions, the powder slowly came out.

After they closed their eyes, the voices came again.

According to Wen Qingzhu's instructions, Beidou walked towards that side step by step, while being vigilant around.

It didn't take long for Beidou to encounter a threshold.

As soon as he stepped out, all the voices suddenly appeared in his ears.

As soon as Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes, he saw Lu Jiajun looking for him with a torch.

Soon, they also spotted themselves and quickly gathered around.

The leader asked, "My lord, why are you here in the firewood room?" ”

Wen Qingzhu looked back and saw a yard stacked with firewood behind them.

She patted Beidou on the shoulder, and Beidou put her down.

When he walked out just now, Wen Qingzhu calculated the pace of Beidou, and they walked a distance of three zhang.

Wen Qingzhu walked back, and it happened to be in the middle of the firewood garden.

Someone also came in from outside the door, and one of them wondered, "We also looked here twice just now, why didn't we see the adults?" ”

Wen Qingzhu explained: "I have always been on the other side of the yard where I live. ”

Hurried back to the courtyard where she lived, and saw the blood and corpses all over the yard.

At this moment, Lu Jiajun is counting the number of people.

The captain who followed him said: "My lord, about an hour ago, there were assassins here, and when we arrived, we found that the adults were not there, thinking that you were captured by them. ”

"So it's two batches?" Wen Qingzhu walked in step by step, looking at the chaotic grass and trees, which were either footprints or bloodstains.

The captain followed unhurriedly: "At present, it should be, but my subordinates don't understand, I've been guarding the door, how did the adults get arrested?" ”

Hearing his words, Wen Qingzhu stopped, turned his head and replied, "Beidou and I have also been in the yard all the time, but we just jumped from upstairs to downstairs, and we didn't leave during the period. ”

"Yes...... But we found you in the firewood room. The captain was a little confused.

Wen Qingzhu pondered: "Didn't your subordinates just now say that they searched both sides carefully in the firewood room, but they didn't see anyone?" ”

Without waiting for him to answer, Wen Qingzhu told him about his experience with Beidou, and at the same time asked Beidou to bring up the kitchen knife.

The captain looked at the kitchen knife in his hand, and there was a piece of white paper wrapped around the handle, and his heart was terrified: "No, it won't, how can this kind of thing be possible?" ”

Glancing at the last quarter moon in the sky, Wen Qingzhu didn't explain, but just ordered: "You send this kitchen knife to Tang Qin here, let him investigate it well, I think I need to stay in Texas for two more days." ”

After a busy night, the news of Wen Qingzhu's assassination soon spread.

Liu Guang hurriedly came and knelt down directly to plead guilty.

Wen Qingzhu, who was leaning on a rattan chair, was covered with a blanket.

She opened her eyes lazily, looked at Liu Guang and asked, "I heard before, you have a Daoist immortal in Texas, I heard that he can scatter beans into soldiers, another day, Lord Liu has seen it?" ”

Looking at the ground, Liu Guang's heart tightened for a while, and his mouth was so dry that his voice was trembling: "This, how is this possible?" If the immortals come here, of course, they will go to the capital. Texas is just a small place, how can there be immortals. ”

There are so many flaws, Wen Qingzhu didn't bother to point them out directly.

She quickly dispatched her men last night, arrested many people, interrogated them all night, and finally got some news.

It's just that this Liu Guang still doesn't admit it.

Then she had no choice but to make a killer move: "Go to Lord Liu's beloved son, please." ”

Soon, a six-year-old boy was led out by a maid.

When Liu Guang looked at it, he only felt that his throat was like a person pinching it.

At this time, Wen Qingzhu stood up from the rattan chair and beckoned to the little boy, "Come here, my sister will give you candy to eat." ”

Xiao Na still ran over, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly looked at Liu Guang and said, "Why is Daddy here?" How did he get on his knees? Did you make a mistake? ”

"No, I'm your father's boss, and the official is older than him, so he has to kneel."

After a brief explanation, Wen Qingzhu took out a piece of candy and handed it to the little boy and said, "Tell me, what did you see your father doing yesterday?" ”
