Chapter 19

Huang Dashan said everything in one go. After he was fired by the original owner, he felt resentful and vowed to take revenge on the original owner.

He went to the provincial capital to hang out with him, met the current He Liang through layers of relationships, and became one of his subordinates.

Huang Dashan returned to Huangjia Village some time ago, and heard that the night market in the county is very lively, and the girl he likes, Wang Yan, is also setting up a stall in the night market.

When he was a policeman, he often went to harass Wang Yan, but Wang Yan didn't like him who did evil, so he never agreed to him. He wanted to use * several times, but Wang Yan had a very strong personality. That's why he didn't succeed.

After finally getting the chance to be appreciated by He Wenliang, he didn't want to miss any chance of revenge, so he urged He Wenliang to bring a large team over.

Things were as he had imagined, but he guessed the process right, not the result.

Li Mo called the master over: "Master, write down their crimes and ask them to sign it."

The master handed the loss list to Li Mo, and after a rough calculation, it was 1500 taels of silver. The good news is that no one was seriously injured, it was just a skin trauma, and it will be fine after ten or eight days. Wang Yunlai suffered a little serious injury, but Not life threatening.

Li Mo said on the spot that the injured people don't have to go to repair roads for a few days, and they can rest at home to recuperate.

Li Mo took the list and asked He Wenliang: "A total of 3000 taels of silver, should I give it now, or go to your family to get it?"

He Wenliang looked frustrated: "Big, big, man, I only brought 1000 taels, can you allow a few more days?"

Li Mo: "It's fine, you can just be a guest in our cell in Songjiang County. When you get the money, you will be released."

In the end, He Wenliang sent two men who were slightly injured to go home to collect the money, and the others were all put in jail.

The prison has not been lived in for a long time, and there are cockroaches and mice everywhere, and the environment is extremely bad.

Before entering the prison, Li Mo invited He Wenliang, the only doctor in the county, to treat his leg injury. Of course, he had to pay for the medical expenses himself.

After such a commotion, the night market could no longer continue, and everyone closed their stalls early and went home.

It seems that the night market will need to send people to strengthen patrols in the future, otherwise it will be too late to regret if there is another accident.

Li Mo mentioned the recruitment information to Song Min, and asked him to pay attention to whether there are any suitable road construction personnel. First recruit five people. The most important thing is that there is insufficient funds, and he dare not recruit too many people, for fear of making mistakes. Can't afford wages.

Tomorrow morning, we will go to the foot of Niutou Mountain to blow up the rocks. We have notified the village head that the work will not start until tomorrow afternoon, for the safety of the personnel.

Zhang Zhongping will also suspend operations for one day tomorrow. Except for the purchase of sweet potatoes and the people in the workshop, all other staff will go to help.

A few people who couldn't go had an opinion: "My lord, why don't the workshops and those who buy sweet potatoes stop working for a day tomorrow, we also want to go to see the excitement."

Everyone has never seen gunpowder, and they all want to see the explosive power of gunpowder.

When Li Mo conducted experiments, he found remote and uninhabited places, and no one had ever seen them.

If it wasn't for road construction, Li Mo wouldn't want to let gunpowder come out at all. The lethality is too great, especially in this era of cold weapons. If someone uses it, the consequences will be disastrous.

Li Mo yawned: "Yes, I will deduct all your wages."

A few people: My lord, why are you so stingy?

Li Mo went back to the backyard to sleep first, and the others followed suit.

Only a few yamen servants who couldn't go left looked at each other in blank dismay.

Those in the prison have been selectively forgotten by them.

Li Mo felt that she hadn't slept for long, when she was woken up by Lier, who said that He Wenliang's family had sent someone to bring money.

Disturbing Qingmeng really owed a yawn. After dawdling for a while, Li Mo yawned and went to the front yard.

Song Min, Master and others have already arrived at the scene. Although everyone is very tired, they cannot lose their aura. We are not afraid of the He family bringing so many people.

Seeing Li Mo appear, before she could sit down, a middle-aged man hurried forward, first saluted, and then apologized: "Master Li, the younger one is He Zhi, the housekeeper of the He family. My young master has caused trouble for you. , the master asked the younger one to pick the young master home, this is a trivial matter, I hope Master Li will accept it with a smile."

As he spoke, he handed several banknotes to Li Mo with both hands.

Li Mo took the bank notes, with a face value of 1000 taels, four in total.

Li Mo raised his eyebrows, being so polite, and they were able to come up with 4000 taels of silver at once, it seemed that the other party was probably another fish and meat person.

After receiving the money, Li Moren woke up immediately and stopped yawning.

On the counter, he pretended to ask, "Butler He, what does this mean?"

Butler He apologized: "Master Li, the extra part is for your tea." After speaking, he gave everyone a knowing look.

Butler He went on to say: "My master said that the young master will not do anything when he is young. I hope Mr. Li will hold his hand high. In the future, the He family will definitely discipline him strictly."

In fact, what Master He meant was to first get He Wenliang out of Songjiang County, and then settle the account later. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let alone he is not a gentleman.

Li Mo said to Song Min: "Song Min, go and invite Mr. He out."

Song Min: "Yes."

He Wenmin had only been in prison for two or three hours, as if a century had passed, when he saw Butler He, he was closer than his own father.

Before he could speak, he started howling: "Housekeeper, why did you take so long to come, woo woo woo, I'm so miserable, my leg is broken, woo woo woo."

Butler He looked at He Wenliang, who was usually gentle and gentle, but now he had this ghostly appearance, almost unrecognizable, with grass clippings all over his clothes, messy hair, and bloated cheeks. The point is, he was actually recited by someone. His feet were wrapped in a white cloth, and both sides were clamped with wooden boards.

Steward He suddenly felt a little dizzy, he was angry, it seems that the people who reported the letter did not dare to tell the truth, the master thought that the young master just got into trouble and was caught, otherwise, the master would definitely go out in person, even if the superiors blamed it , the master is not afraid, no one can hold back seeing his son being beaten like this.

Then look at the servants, all with bruised noses and swollen faces, people who are not very familiar with them can't recognize them at all.

He was furious in his heart, this Li Mo was just a small county magistrate, he dared to torture the He family's precious golden lump like this, he wrote down this hatred.

Anger was burning in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. If this Li Mo suddenly changed his mind, it would be troublesome.

He Wenliang had a lot to say to Steward He, but from the corner of the eye he noticed that Li Mo was looking at him with a half-smiling expression, which made him tremble in fright, and urged Steward He to leave quickly.

The group came and went in a hurry.

The 1000 taels on He Wenliang's body were seized by Li Mo in the early morning. Adding the 4000 taels just now, the total is 5000 taels. The compensation to the common people is at least 2000 taels, and there is still a balance of 3000 taels.

You have to think about it, where will the money be used?
educate?medical?Basic?

"My lord?" The master's voice interrupted Li Mo's train of thought.

Li Mo gave him an unhappy look: "What's wrong?"

I saw the master grimacing: "My lord, when Butler He went out just now, his face changed suddenly. My lord should be careful."

But Zhang Zhongping said wildly: "Master, you are afraid of things, what are they? Don't tell me that Mr. He's official position is higher than that of adults. Besides, we are not afraid of them even if they dare to come. Songjiang County is our territory. If you dare to come , see if I don't beat him up."

Others followed suit: "That's right, if you come again, you'll beat him until he kneels and begs for mercy."

The master was so angry that he pointed at them and cursed: "What do you know, you know how to fool around."

Song Min stayed in the yamen for the longest time. He understood the master's worry, and stepped forward to persuade Li Mo: "My lord, it is said that villains are hard to guard against. My lord should be careful."

Li Mo stuffed the banknotes to the master: "Okay, I listen to you, be careful these days, soldiers will block you, and water will flood you."

Look at the weather outside, it's almost dawn, and you won't be able to sleep for a long time when you go back to sleep, so it's better to go to Niutoushan early.

A group of people didn't eat breakfast, so two carriages and two ox carts set off like this.

It's been a few days since I bought the car, and it's the first time Li Mo got in the county government's carriage. It's wobbly and uncomfortable.

Zhang Zhongping was driving the car. There were only the two of them and the gunpowder in the car. For the safety of others, they were not allowed to come and rub the car.

It was notified yesterday that this section of the road will be closed for construction this morning, but only Songjiang County and the villages along the border can be notified, and those coming from other places cannot be notified, only warning signs are written on both sides.

After arriving at the destination, four people were sent to stand guard in the direction of the provincial capital, and the four were in the direction of Songjiang County.

Song Min led Li Mo to the place where the gun holes had been laid in advance yesterday. There were five holes in total, all of which were constructed according to Li Mo's drawings.

Li Mo was worried that the effect of the gunpowder was not very good, so he made a few more.
