478 Ancestral Hall Interrogation
"Young master, those trees and debris have been cleared." Zheng Fu panted and reported to Zheng Peng.
Zheng Peng nodded: "Very good, now that the flood has not receded, send someone to watch, don't let those debris come to hit the bridge pier." ”
"I don't know which one has such a black heart, deliberately cut down the tree in the river, and let the flood carry it to hit the bridge pier, but fortunately, the bridge pier built by the young master is strong enough."
As soon as he thought of the broken holes of those trees, Zheng Fu couldn't beat him angrily, it was obvious that someone deliberately made it bad.
"Steward Cui took someone to check, and I believe there will be an answer soon." Zheng Peng said calmly.
"It's still the young master who is calm, there is such a big flood, the old slave is so scared that he doesn't know what to do, but the young master has nothing to do, calmly tastes tea and eats snacks, this is called the demeanor of the general" Speaking of this, Zheng Fu said excitedly: "It's really good, I didn't expect the bridge piers to be so strong, it's okay to send out such a big flood, young master, this bridge is stable." ”
After the rain, Zheng Fu was first worried about whether there would be a flood, and after the flood, he was afraid of being washed away, and his heart was hanging all the time, and now a heart has finally fallen to the ground.
There is a faint sense of pride in my heart: this strong bridge has its own strength.
Zheng Peng was also anxious about the heavy rain, but the rain was so big, the flood was so big, it was useless to be anxious, it was better to be calm, hearing Zheng Fu's compliment, Zheng Peng smiled proudly, turned around and walked out: "The bridge pier was saved, but the construction site was messed up by this rainstorm, and there was a hanger that fell down, and it had to be built back, which is really a lot of trouble, but God treats me well, if this rain comes a few days earlier, it will be a big trouble." ”
It takes time for the cement to solidify, and the piers on the opposite bank have just been built in seven days, to be honest, the quality of these cements can only be regarded as average, mainly due to the limitations of science and technology, and those special cements in later generations are not comparable.
Some special cement, as long as an hour, or even less than an hour can be completely solidified, ordinary cement can be solidified in about three days, but Zheng Peng pounded out of the cement, to say the least, it takes five or six days, fortunately, the weather has been good, and there is enough solidification time, which can withstand the test.
This flood is like a red furnace fire, which has verified the color of the bridge, and must have silenced many doubters.
Zheng Fu immediately said complimentarily: "That is, the young master is a blessed person, everything is evil, smack, no, there is no fierceness, it should be said that the young master will do everything smoothly." ”
Out of the wooden house, Zheng Peng saw Lao Qi commanding his subordinates to repair the hanger, only to see that they first sorted out the wood that had fallen to the ground, and then began to make marks on the original position of the hanger, ready to rebuild the hanger.
The rest of the people, without any orders, took the initiative to check the materials and clean up the site, and the sky was still drizzling, but everyone took the initiative to stand up and work, and the construction site suddenly became busy.
Zheng Peng nodded secretly when he saw it: This is the charm of people, in front of nature, people seem so small, but no matter how wild the wind and rain, no matter how heavy the wind and rain, as long as the wind and rain pass, as long as the people are still there, there is hope.
The biggest loss was the collapse of a hanger, the original pile of sand outside, washed away a lot, the scaffolding in the river was all washed away, Zheng Peng believes, at most three to five days, everything can be restored to the original state.
"Zheng Fu, Huang San"
"Young Master" The two knew that Zheng Peng had something to order, so they responded in unison.
"Organize the staff, fight for three days to get everything back to normal, and let the kitchen add a chicken to each table tonight, as a celebration of the bridge pier we built has passed the test."
The two agreed in unison, Zheng Fu hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Young master, that waterproof wall, do you want to stop it?" But there is no way to clean up this water. ”
"Waterproof wall?" Zheng Peng paused for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "This pier has been built, why do you want to make it, in fact, it could have been demolished two days ago, it was not demolished, let it continue where it will be, this flood will wash away, but it will save trouble, okay, let's get busy, I asked, there are still two months to the real rainy season, we have to hurry up." ”
Large-scale infrastructure projects, most of them are selected in autumn, the weather is good, the rain is less, Zheng Peng can not wait so long, as soon as the Shangyuan Festival passes, he set off in a hurry, but the ancient traffic is inconvenient, there is a lot of delay on the road, and he went back to his hometown in Yuancheng for three days halfway, and finally returned a batch of materials to Boling together, which took a lot of time.
This early heavy rainstorm is a signal that the project needs to be hurried again.
After Huang San and Zheng Fu went to work, Cui Er, the second housekeeper of the Cui Mansion, came back, and when he saw Zheng Peng from a distance, he saluted: "Congratulations to Gongzi, the bridge pier built by your auspices is really indestructible and stable as Mount Tai, and the old slave is served." ”
After the heavy rain, Cui Er was also worried that the bridge pier would fall short, but now that the flood is no longer threatening, the bridge pier is still standing, and there is no damage from the outside, and he admires Zheng Peng even more.
Zheng Peng didn't care about his compliment, but frowned and said, "Steward Cui, can you get something?" ”
There are a lot of debris in the river, especially a large number of neat trees with neat fractures all of a sudden, it is clear that someone deliberately cut and pushed it in the river, I don't know what the starting point is, but once it posed a threat to the newly built bridge piers, Zheng Peng had to take the risk of sending someone to deal with it, Cui Er volunteered to look up along the river bank to see what the problem was, Zheng Peng waited for his answer.
"Childe, check it out, those trees were originally in the forest next to the Tiger Leaping Stone, and they were pushed down into the river with a sharp weapon, and no one was found when they went, it is estimated that they ran away, what is the starting point is not clear for the time being, please rest assured that Childe will give Childe a satisfactory answer within three days." Cui Er said confidently.
This is Boling, Cui's territory, and Cui Er is confident that he will find out the truth within three days.
There is one thing, Cui Er is not easy to say, when he checked along the riverbank, he seemed to see his own young lady leaving from the Moon Pavilion, where is the Moon Pavilion, and the carriage of the Boling Cui family's bungalow, the strange thing is that there is only a car and no horse, and he has been looking upward, finding traces of cutting down trees, looking around, looking for two footprints that are about to be washed away by the rain, and no one can be found.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Steward Cui's good news." Zheng Peng said with a smile.
Cui Erfu coped with a smile, but secretly thought in his heart: I hope it is not my own family's work, otherwise it will be spread out, but it will make people laugh and be generous, and lose face.
Just when Cui Er was worried, in the ancestral hall of the Boling Cui clan, there were bursts of screams, and I saw a soaking wet house slave lying on the ground, and the two healthy servants each held a leather whip in their hands, whipping constantly.
The leather whip was very strong, and every time it was whipped, it was dipped in the salt water basin next to it, and the salt-stained leather whip was mercilessly whipped on the back that had already been beaten to a bloody pulp, and when it was drawn, the house slave screamed and twitched.
The person who was executed was Ma Liu, who was caught by the cardinal in the forest, and when Ma Liu saw that the matter was revealed, he rushed up with a knife to attack the cardinal, and the cardinal easily subdued him and knocked him unconscious with just a few moves, and then handed him over to the guards hiding in the shadows, so that he could bring the person back first.
The people Cui Yuan sent to protect Lu Shu's side, in addition to the cardinals in the light, there are also people in the dark to protect them, after all, there is only one lone seedling left, so you have to take care of it carefully.
After escorting Lu Shu back, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and it would definitely be inappropriate to hand over people to the government, so they were handed over to the chief housekeeper Cui Da to be sent to the ancestral hall, and asked Cui Yu, the ancestor of the big house, to preside over justice.
Ma Liu is a house slave of the bungalow, and he ran to destroy the property belonging to the third house, and he was also suspected of destroying the bridge that was still being built.
This is considered a family matter, Cui Yu was tried in the courtyard outside the ancestral hall, during the execution, Cui Yu sat directly above the patio, and several elders of the Cui clan of Boling sat below, and then there were representatives of both sides, Cui Yuan was not there, the representative of the third room was the big housekeeper Cui Da, and the bungalow came Cui Chun, who was also Cui Yufang's father.
Lu Shu and Cui Yufang did not appear, both of them were women, nothing serious, and they couldn't easily step into the ancestral hall.
After fifty lashes, Cui Yu asked coldly: "Ma Liu, what is the purpose of your cutting down trees, if you don't want to suffer anymore, it's better to recognize your face, you know the old man's temper." ”
was whipped fifty times, Ma Liu was so painful that he was about to faint, he knew that this matter could not be fooled, he struggled to kneel, and said with a sad face: "Ma Liu is just an insignificant subordinate, even if he borrows two small guts, he does not dare to destroy the master's property, he does not dare to deceive the ancestors, this thing is... It was ordered by the young lady. ”
