Han Xiang

Chapter 236

"Oh yes yes"

Knowing that his life was safe, Liu Fuxuan's heart felt better in an instant, thinking that there was a turning point in the matter, as long as he saw Long Xiang or Lu Su, his misunderstanding would be resolved.

Liu Fu followed Feng Zhong silently, heading straight for the smoky west of the city, and finally stopped in front of a brick factory, the brick factory manager heard the news and went out to greet him.

After seeing the ceremony, Feng Zhong pointed to Liu Fu and said: "This person pretends to be an assassin and commits fraud, and he is punished to work here as a punishment. Do you know what to do?"

"The end will save you." The steward clasped his fists.

Brick workshops, cement workshops, and other government-run workshops involved in construction are all under the jurisdiction of the Craftsman Camp. The steward in front of Feng Zhong is his soldier, and Liu Fu was brought here to facilitate supervision.

Seeing that Feng Zhong was about to leave after explaining, Liu Fu hurriedly asked, "No, General Feng, you want me to be here."

"People in Hefei are only pragmatic. Don't say that I won't give you a chance. If you want to leave, you have to leave. Don't steal and play tricks during the working period. Make a good reform here. He Guanshi will teach you the rules."

Feng Zhong patted Liu Fu on the shoulder, turned around and left with his entourage. Liu Fu changed from a governor to a coolie making bricks.

Liu Fu used to work as a subordinate in Xudu, and all he did was clerical work with a pen in hand, but in the brick workshop, the palms of his hands were basically mud, which was still labor-intensive and sweat-intensive.

After only one day of work, Liu Fu felt the hard work of the grassroots workers. There were guards and supervision inside and outside the brick workshop, and the workers would expose laziness and other behaviors. There was almost no possibility of escape, let alone seeing Long Xiang or Lu Su.

After working in the brick workshop for three days, Liu Fu was so tired that he sweated profusely in winter, and his arms trembled when he ate at night.

Thinking that he still has to persist for nearly a hundred days, he is really afraid that he will die of exhaustion in Hefei. That kind of death is more wasteful than his predecessor Yan Xiang.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Liu Fu approached Manager He for a transfer on the grounds that he was unwell.

Manager He thought about it all night, and on the fourth day, he was really transferred to work as the most relaxed potter.

The construction of the new city of Hefei started, and Long Xiang stopped all construction in the city. Those newcomers who arrived in Hefei were all arranged to work on the construction site outside the city. Except for a few "fine craftsmen" like Liu Fu, most of the craftsmen in the brick workshops in the city He is a full-time brick maker, and the easy job cannot be done by outsiders.

Lu Su also fired a kiln in Hefei, and he suffered under the kiln in summer, but in winter this position was a good job. If Long Xiang hadn't secretly opened the back door, Liu Fu would not be qualified to work in the kiln in winter.

Kiln firing is a technical job. Liu Fu got rid of physical troubles, but suffered ruthless mental oppression because he met an old friend under the kiln.

The old man didn't seem to recognize Liu Fu, but when he saw the person swallowing his saliva and didn't speak, he frowned and reminded: "What are you doing in a daze? It's not time to change shifts yet. If you can't find something to do, go move firewood."

"Mr. You? Is it really you? Why are you here?" Liu Fu was excited and held Mi Heng's hand.

Mi Heng pulled out his left hand, showing a puzzled expression: "You are."

"Liu Fu, Liu Yuanying, when I sent my husband out of Xudu, I met you once."

Liu Fu pointed to his enthusiastic introduction, seeing Mi Heng in the brick kiln at this time, he felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Unexpectedly, the great talent who used to rely on his talent in Xudu would show no mercy in the second sentence he met.

"It turned out to be Liu Yan's family, what? Cao Mengde kicked you out of Xudu?"

"Uh no."

Liu Fu waved his hands, bowed his head and said, "Cao Sikong recommended me to be the governor of Yangzhou."

"The Inspector of Yangzhou?"

You Heng stroked his beard and looked at Liu Fu. Three days of hard work had made him embarrassed, and he could no longer be seen as a Confucian scholar.

"The governor of Yangzhou went to the kiln to observe the people's sentiments? As long as Cao Mengde has a heart of love for the people, there will not be so many rebellions under his rule."

Facing Ni Heng's sarcasm, Liu Fu explained awkwardly: "Mr. is really funny, the guard of Hefei mistook me for Xi Zuo, that's why I came here."

"Gong is Cao Cao's man, it's not that careful work is better than careful work, Long Yunqi is really a wonderful man"

You Hengyan shook his head after saying that, and threw a piece of wood into the kiln casually.

Liu Fu heard that You Heng praised Long Xiang, but was wearing simple clothes and lighting a fire under the kiln, so he sat cross-legged and asked curiously: "Mr. You are very familiar with General Long? Can you tell me a word?"

"Let me bring you a message? What?" Mi Heng frowned noncommittally.

Liu Fu quickly stood up, bowed his hands and said, "I came to Hefei alone this time, and I wanted to give General Long a surprise. Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating and caused a misunderstanding. The imperial court really wants to appoint him the post of Lujiang prefect."

"Lujiang is in the hands of the Sun family, Cao Mengde is really good at calculating."

Mi Heng smiled coldly, looked at Liu Fu and shook his head sarcastically: "Liu Inspector Liu Jing failed to learn Liu Jingsheng, but fell here to burn kilns, self-defeating and appropriate words."

Liu Fu endured the embarrassment, and bowed his hands again: "The officials and people in Hefei don't recognize me. I am lucky to meet Mr. You here. Can you please testify for me?"

"According to Hefei's practice, if it is recognized or guessed as a secret worker, it will take three months of hard work before it can be released. Governor Liu estimated that he has only been here for a few days. It is not easy to be free."

Seeing that Mi Heng no longer spoke sarcasm, Liu Fu hurriedly threw a 'painting cake' to the other party:
"With Mr. Lao's help, I will be grateful when I get my name corrected. I will go to Huainan alone, and there are still many positions in the state capital."

With Mi Heng's intelligence, he naturally understood the implication. Unexpectedly, he didn't get angry, but nodded slightly and said, "I was also punished to burn the kiln here. If I want to go out, I have to wait for the punishment period to end."

Liu Fu asked curiously, "How long have you been here, sir?"

You Heng broke his fingers and seemed to be counting: "I haven't counted the specific days, but I guess there are more than two. It's almost three months. Anyway, when the penalty period comes, the steward will remind you."

"Isn't it a few days?"

Liu Fu smiled happily when he heard it, and thought that as long as Ni Heng was willing to help, he would be free after a few more days, but an incredible answer came immediately.

"No, I might go out later than you."

Seeing Mi Heng shaking his head in denial, Liu Fu's face suddenly changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Could you be teasing me, sir?"

"Teasing? Why did you say that?"

"From my point of view, Mr. dressed up as if he had been working for dozens of days. Since Hefei's custom is limited to March, why did he say he went out later than me?"

Mi Heng's clothes were shiny, as if he had been panned, Liu Fu stared straight at him, wanting to wait for a reasonable answer.

"Although the usual practice is three months, my penalty period is a special case, which lasts six months"

I saw Mi Heng spread her hands, as if to say, is my reason reasonable?
"Six months?"

Liu Fu swallowed his saliva, thinking that you have dug Longxiang's ancestral grave?But he guessed that it was You Heng's cheap mouth that caused the trouble.

How can this person have Cao Sikong Lixian Corporal, you should.

Seeing that Mi Heng kept silent, Liu Fu cupped his hands and saluted again: "Since we have left the kiln one after another, I will trouble you to testify, sir, and I will definitely repay you."

"How do you plan to repay? Give the governor of Yangzhou to you?"

"How can the imperial court appointment be compromised? Sir, you can really joke."
