C3660 (1/2)
Yi Cong whispered a few words into the ears of his trusted aides, and the direct descendant left the boat with orders!
The horse galloped south along the river embankment, suddenly alerting the villagers hiding on the north side of the embankment. These timid villagers had long been scolded as frightened birds by the bailiffs everywhere.
Add to that the endless ice-breaking work, many people fell asleep as they laid on the ground.
The sound of hooves suddenly sounded out, waking up the villagers who were dozing off. Some of the nervous commoners narrowed their eyes and shouted, ”I didn't peek, I didn't peek …” ”Don't kill me …”
Like in a dream, or simply a fake corpse, the villagers wearing tattered cotton-padded jackets turned their heads and ran as fast as they could, shouting like ghosts!
There was a second one. These villagers had originally been scared out of their wits, but at this moment, it was as if the entire village was going to explode!
Before the yamen runners could react, Yi Cong's trusted guard on the embankment immediately picked up the hunting bow on the back of the horse. With a ”bam” sound, the bowstring let out a low, trembling sound.
Whoosh … A streak of black light flew towards the back of the sleeping villager!
Puchi … The bloody arrow pierced straight through his heart!
The Sleeping Demon disappeared in an instant, and when the villagers finally woke up and saw the blood shooting out of their hearts, they wanted to scream out in pain, but all they could spit out was blood.
”Who dares to make a ruckus!?” Kill without mercy! ” The guard on horseback put away his hunting bow and continued to urge the horse forward.
It was only at this point that the yamen runners who were maintaining order finally came to their senses. These people usually bullied the common people, but when they met the imperial bodyguards, they were scared to the point of peeing their pants.
The whip suddenly lashed out, ”Damned cheap bones, I told you not to make a sound, you're all dead!”
”Kneel …” They were all lying on the ground, and no one was allowed to make a sound! You don't want to live anymore? ”
”You still dare to cry? Even if it was your own father who died, you still had to endure it! Does your whole family not want to live anymore? ”
Even the families of the dead had to hold back their tears, not even daring to make a sound.
Everything was a small interlude, the nobles on the fleet didn't know what had happened at all. Zai Chun had always been in a meeting, while Yi Cong had always been watching the scenery by the river.
Weng Tonghe was in the middle of writing the figures while Qing San Ye was calculating the accounts … Everyone had their own things to do, and no one paid much attention to the world beyond the river bank!
A river bank, a mass of thousands! You are on the other side of the river, and I am on the other side.
After all, the Qing Dynasty had ruled this country for more than two hundred years. They definitely did not have the ability to create modern industries, but the ability to kill, burn, and smash black bricks was a set ability.
That night, a serious shooting case happened in Northern Industrial Zones.
It had only been four hours since Tongzhi stayed in the special region. The most exciting thing during these four hours were of course, the direct confrontation between the workers and the emperor.
The foreman, Xin Jian, had become a hero. In their favorite restaurant, the Erwei Restaurant, this hero was highly sought after by everyone. Not long after, he had gained a jin of lotus flower white.
People were grouped into groups, and people with different personalities all had their own headquarters. Those workers who worked honestly after work would go back home to find their wives and children for dinner and rest, while these workers who loved to read books and read newspapers and had radical ideas would usually meet after work at the Second Veteran's Shop.
The dishes were not expensive and the taste was good. He could order a dish of pork head, peanuts, spiced beans or something like that and order some wine. He would order a steamed bun and a sedan chair after eating.
