Chapter 187: Singing on stage
On this day, Cui Jie was connecting several of the most stubborn wealthy families, and agreed to give him a face together after Qiu Ming returned to Dengzhou again, and no longer be submissive to him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone was talking happily, and suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar from the west of the city, and everyone looked at each other, could it be that Qiuming was mad and had begun to attack the city?
Cui Jie hurriedly found Laixi, but saw that the city wall in the west had been demolished by the guards and a big hole, and Ju Kong was smiling and holding his hands behind his back and was standing by the cave directing the work. Cui Jie grabbed Ju Kong's chest and shouted: "Ju Wuwu, you destroyed the city wall, but do you want to rebel?" ”
Ju Kong shook Cui Jie's hand away with a smile on his face: "County Lieutenant Cui, I'm cowardly, but I can't withstand your scare." I am carrying out Qiu Xiancheng's order, he said that there are too few gates in Dengzhou, which is inconvenient for people to enter and exit, and in order to improve people's livelihood, he specially ordered me to open another city gate. ”
Cui Jie was so angry that his whole body trembled: "Bastard, how can such a big thing be decided by his small county, all of you will stop me." ”
As soon as he said this, the crowd watching the excitement next to him didn't agree, it turned out that Dengzhou had always been a poor and small city in the county, so only an east gate was set up to enter and exit, and it could also concentrate on defending against bandits. Before the arrival of Tyuming, even this east gate was also a few pedestrians, and the merchants in the past all went straight to the Tangtou City of Wuli Mound, and even the flies were not willing to fly to Dengzhou City.
Since Tyumen moved Tangtou City into Dengzhou City, there are many more business travelers in the city, and the residents in the city have quickly improved their quality of life.
The surging crowd has brought dividends, but also brought many problems, for example, the city gate, or the same size, or the same number of soldiers on duty, but the flow of people in and out of the city gate is growing at a rate of 100 times and 1000 times, so the speed of entering and exiting the city gate is also slowed down at a speed of 100 times and 1000 times.
The people complained, and when they went to the county office, they just said haha to the county order: "This matter is in charge of the county Cheng, let's talk about it after Qiu Xiancheng returns from the front line", so the people looked forward to Qiuming's early return.
Now that Qiu Xiancheng is back, and as soon as he comes back, he will begin to solve the problem of the city gate, what a good official, but why does County Lieutenant Cui still want to make an obstacle from it? During this time, I heard that he and the county were not on good terms, was he preparing to stir up the matter? Thinking of this, everyone clenched their fists and roared angrily at Cui Jie together.
Cui Jie saw that he was angry, so he had to let go of Jukong, but he still sneered and said: "You guys are just doing nonsense, I think when Qiuming falls, how long can you jump?" ”
Seeing Cui Jie leaving in a gloomy manner, Ju Kong said loudly to the cheering crowd: "Thank you folks for speaking up, in order to complete it quickly, I hope everyone will work together to speed up the progress of the project." Of course, I can't treat everyone badly, and I will be rewarded with a penny for every brick I move. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers who ate melons had already rushed to support the construction of the city gate. Ju Kong smiled slightly, now the Tyumen series is making money every day, although it may not be as good as the heritage of the old wealthy families, but as long as this development momentum is maintained, I believe that more business travelers will gather in Dengzhou, and there will be a lot of money in the future. In comparison, the small money spent today can speed up the construction period, and secondly, you can take the opportunity to give some small favors, so why not do it?
After the city gate was almost built, Jukong arranged to set up a high platform outside the west city, everyone was puzzled, anyway, there was money to take, not to do it in vain, and some smart people speculated whether it was to celebrate the new opening of the city gate, ready to set up a stage to sing a few days of drama? Thinking of the free drama to watch, everyone's hearts are on fire, and their motivation is a little higher.
The high platform was quickly erected, and after a while, the people on the platform shouted in panic: "Oh no, there is a horse team coming this way, everyone go and run for your life." ”
The people in the audience were about to flee into the city in a hurry, and Jukong shouted: "Don't panic, this is the return of Qiuxian Cheng's troops, and he is going to hold a public sacrifice at the gate of this city, I hope everyone can stay and watch the ceremony." ”
Public sacrifice? What is that? But Jukong's next words immediately dispelled everyone's doubts: "Those who participate in the whole ceremony will receive a reward of twenty yuan each." ”
The people were boiling all of a sudden, and they rushed back to the city to call their friends and drag their children and daughters out to earn these quick money, and those who remained on the stage cried: "Wait for me, everyone, wait for me to come down first." Jukong laughed and said, "Don't hurry, don't hurry, take your time, the public sacrifice will be ready for a while, you climb down slowly, don't fall." ”
Twenty yuan, you can buy two or three buckets of good rice in Dengzhou, even if you are not a rich family with bad money, you will come out to join in the fun when you hear such a novel drama as the public sacrifice, and when Qiu Ming led four hundred horses to the high platform of Xicheng, almost half of the people in Dengzhou City also rushed over.
These cavalrymen were all sons of Dengzhou, and the people were still familiar with them, and there were even some relatives and friends, who complacently pointed out their familiarity to others in the crowd. But they were soon stunned, these soldiers had only been gone for a few months, but they gave the impression that they were a different person, if these armored cavalry were elite soldiers in the past, now they were more like a tiger, a knife, and a powerful ghost returning from the depths of the Nine Shadows.
There were a few family members anxiously looking for their family members in the queue, but they never saw that familiar face, thinking of the word public sacrifice, their hearts suddenly tightened, could it be that something happened?
Tyumen grimaced his horse through the chattering crowd, and wherever he walked, it began to become silent. He walked slowly, and there seemed to be an icy aura emanating from him.
The faces of the onlookers changed greatly, and they all thought of earning the twenty dollars, but they didn't expect Qiu Ming to be a demon king who killed people without blinking.
Some people wanted to run back to the city, but now they couldn't run away, not to mention the armored cavalry eyeing them, and said that the hundred guards guarding the city gate were not easy to break through. Just when some people were immersed in remorse and fear, they saw Qiuming on the high platform take off his helmet and kneel, and kowtow three times to the people in the audience. (To be continued.) )
