"I'm going to kill him..." Bai Linglong was a little out of control at this time.
"Calm down, go find him now, then he will win..." Li Hugo said, "Killing him all at once, don't you think it's too easy for him? Can you swallow what he did to you? Is this the tone?"
"What should I do... What should I do..." Bai Linglong sobbed and couldn't speak.
"Li Yutang colluded with the horse thieves and squeezed the good... As far as I know, he should have an account book and some lists of goods for the horse thieves, and these things... can help us reveal Li Yutang's true face and let the entire Nalan City Everyone knows that he, Li Yutang, is a dog, a dog that eats people without spitting out their bones. It is more appropriate to discredit him than to kill him. Otherwise, if he died... he might become a hero. After all, now In the eyes of the whole city, Li Yutang is a good man, a good general, he is the embodiment of kindness, and he is the messenger of justice." Li Yuguo said.
"I... I can't do it." Bai Linglong said, "I'm just a weak woman, how can I do it?"
"No, you are strong, you are stronger than anyone else! I checked on you and found that you were the daughter of a village chief and came from a scholarly family, but in order to find your younger brother, you were even able to bear the humiliation and bear the burden. That's all. Determination, you are already above everyone! If possible, I would like to find those account books myself, but Li Yutang is too careful. He is wary of everyone around him, including those closest to him... He is obviously rich, But he refuses to ransom you, can't you see it?" Li Huguo said.
Bai Linglong's mood stabilized a little: "I can give it a try, but... how should I contact you?"
"Me." The Thief Emperor came out and said, "There is a small flowerpot outside your window sill. You usually take care of it yourself. If you have news to spread, wrap the information in oil paper and hide it. Tie a white ribbon around the bottom of the flower pot and I will come and get your secret letter.”
"Okay!" Bai Linglong said without hesitation. Her eyes were filled with anger at this time. Her brother was her hope of living. Now that hope is gone, she will avenge her brother's blood no matter what.
She slowly raised her head: "Li Huguo, you seem to be very different from before."
"Really." Li Hugo put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly, "You have to wear a mask. Of course you have to know your true identity. The only thing you have to pay attention to is that you can't wear this mask for too long. Otherwise, if the face grows together, the fake thing will become real, and then you really won’t be able to leave.”
"Okay." Li Yuguo walked forward, "Let's end the meeting here. Otherwise, if you leave for a long time, it would be bad if Zhang Ma sees any clues... Zhang Ma is a profit-seeking person. For money, she will do anything. Sell everything she can, even you..."
"I know." Bai Linglong said slowly, "Master Li, thank you."
Bai Linglong bowed to Li Yuguo respectfully.
Li Yuguo no longer stayed, but left the mass grave with the Thief Emperor and Jun Xue.
"What should we do next?" Jun Xue asked.
"That's about it. We should create some benefits for the common people." Li Yuguo looked at the sky. It was gloomy and full of dark clouds, but he knew that behind the dark clouds, there was brilliant sunshine.
It's just that the dark clouds are so thick that they completely block the sunlight, making the surrounding land look lifeless.
But at this time, a gap suddenly appeared in the dark clouds, and a ray of sunlight sneaked out and fell on the city wall. The light seemed not far away.
"The City Lord's Mansion is recruiting workers!" Jun Xue said while standing at the gate of the city, "Recruiting workers, one bucket of noodles every day, the speed of registration is so fast, only a hundred people are recruited!"
Jun Xue's shout caused the area near the city gate to boil.
"What? Did I hear correctly, a bucket of noodles every day?"
"Wait a minute, this seems to be the shout from the maid next to the soft rice king. Is she playing a trick on us?"
"It doesn't matter if he's playing tricks or not, we won't lose a piece of meat anyway if he plays tricks. Besides... if it's true, we can get a bucket of noodles every day!" The whole city gate was boiling.
The Thief King masked himself and stood beside Li Yuguo: "Brother, is this really okay?"
"To pull the depressed Nalan City out of the quagmire, the first step is to ensure that the people have enough to eat." Li Hugo walked up, and people were already standing around the simple wooden platform.
When people saw Li Huguo, they all showed expressions of disdain.
"Look, it's the Soft Rice King here!"
"You are really making fun of us, what nonsense! Let's go, let's go..."
"Yes, how can there be such a good thing in the world? It is said that the city lord's mansion is very poor every day, how can they be so merciful and care about our life and death!"
After hearing the discussions around him, Li Huguo came directly to the stage and scooped up a bucket of noodles with a gourd: "Of course the rice and noodles are not given to you for free. You also need to work accordingly. From today on, outside the city The reclamation of ten miles of wasteland has officially begun!”
A bold man stepped forward and said, "Okay, give me a bowl of noodles first!"
As he spoke, he took out the linen bag he had with him.
Li Huguo filled the linen bag without hesitation: "You are the first, so I will give you a bucket, and I will give you another bucket!"
When the man looked at the slowly filling linen bag, he was trembling with excitement. He grabbed a handful of flour, put it to his mouth and licked it: "It's really noodles!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone near the city gate became excited.
"Wow, it's really such a great thing!"
"Oh my god, there are only a hundred people. I... I will join in!"
"Don't squeeze, hey! Don't squeeze, I told you not to squeeze, your pants are squeezed out!"
The people began to scramble for it.
Li Huguo greeted: "Queue up, those who jump in line will not be given face!"
Not long after, the two large bags of rice and noodles had been distributed, and the people who had received the rice and noodles surrounded Li Huguo. Under the leadership of Li Huguo, they came to the wasteland outside the city. If this place is to be used as farmland again, irrigation must be introduced. So trenching is the first step.
Li Huguo had also prepared seeds a long time ago. All kinds of seeds. As long as the water is brought in smoothly, the reclamation of this field will not be a problem. In this way, the food problem will be solved.
But this is also a long-term plan.
"Brother, food costs fifty taels per day. If this continues... this is a lot of money." The Thief King kindly reminded him.
"I know that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." Li Huguo said.
The Thief Emperor sighed: "Madam has already treated you like this. In fact, I think you can establish your own business, just rely on your ability, brother."
"She... although she was fierce, she was not a bad person at heart." Li Yuguo said. After all, the original Nalan Meng did not abandon Li Yuguo until the last moment. Even if Li Yuguo died, she would fight to the end. Died from exhaustion.
However, what Li Yuguo didn't know was that Nalan Meng was not far away from her at this time. She was hiding behind a tree. She heard Li Yuguo's words clearly, and her face felt a little hot at this time. She covered her face and cursed secretly: "This bastard, he said such embarrassing words so naturally, how shameless!"
She was about to leave, but she couldn't help but glance at Li Hugo. She pursed her lips and murmured: "Master, it seems that Hugo has really changed..."
The reclamation work was carried out in an orderly manner. Three days later, Li Yuguo arrived as scheduled and came to inspect the fields. However, when he came over at this time, he found that the surroundings were in a mess. The people were sitting on the ground, and each one of them was more or less stained. Slightly injured.
Li Yuguo immediately ran to a white-haired old man and said, "Uncle Zhong, what's going on?"
"Yes... it's my uncle." He said. Since Li Huguo recruited these people, everyone working here has been able to get some food, so his impression of Li Huguo has also changed significantly.
"Uncle Zhong, why are there so few people all of a sudden?" Li Huguo said with concern.
