Recruitment is going very smoothly. All kinds of workers and tenant farmers can be provided with enough money.
As for the monk, with the Jiu Zhu brand, it will naturally become more popular.
After three days of screening, Wen Qingzhu finally selected thirty monks and three thousand workers and tenant farmers.
The monks could be taken away immediately, but the workers and tenant farmers needed to make some preparations, so Wen Qingzhu issued them an identity card.
Before leaving Dezhou, Wen Qingzhu finally asked someone to bring Liu Guang up.
As soon as he saw Wen Qingzhu, Liu Guang immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, please convict me. I failed to do what my lord ordered me to do."
During the three days they stayed, the Jia family directly booked the inn opposite Baiyun Temple.
The Lu Jiajun only left 500 people to control the situation, and the rest went outside Dezhou City to help patrol.
So Wen Qingzhu is now sitting in the lobby, looking down at Liu Guang, with a smile on his lips: "You did not hesitate to delay the matter I gave you, but I came here in person and completed the matter in just three days. What do you, Liu Guang, do for food?!"
In the last sentence, Wen Qingzhu's nasal voice increased.
Kneeling Liu Guang was sweating profusely. He was in a state of confusion, but he still replied calmly: "Sir, isn't it the end of the year? There are too many things going on in Texas, and I really can't handle it."
"If it's too busy, I'll send you someone to help." Wen Qingzhu interrupted him ruthlessly, "I sent a letter to the capital three days ago. The new arrivals will come by mid-November at the latest, so you do Be prepared."
Liu Guang's hands were gripping the ground tightly. He seemed to be refuting, but with Wen Qingzhu's identity, who dared to refute her words!
After struggling in his heart for a long time, he finally accepted his fate: "Thank you, sir."
After leaving the inn, Liu Guang sat in the sedan chair, leaning on the cushions with his hands in his sleeves.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes with a fierce look and said in a low voice: "You forced me to do this."
In the inn.
Wen Qingzhu frowned more and more as he looked at the news coming from his subordinates.
The problems in Texas are not much less than those in Yunzhou.
After nightfall, Wen Qingzhu sat in the room with Dezhou Planning.
Suddenly, the light inside the lampshade flickered, and the shadow of the pen holder swayed.
Beidou, who was standing in the main room, immediately ran to the window, opened the window and looked around carefully.
The surroundings were deathly quiet, without any sound.
Soon, the lamp shadow shook again.
Wen Qingzhu immediately stood up and looked around.
Has Liu Guang decided to take action
Suddenly, an arrow shot towards Beidou.
It was nailed to the pillar with a bang.
There was a note tied to the end of the arrow.
Wen Qingzhu walked over, took it off and looked at it. It said: Leave the city immediately.
She walked to the window and looked outside, feeling something was wrong.
Does this mean something will happen here
Wen Qingzhu looked at Beidou and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Beidou, who had always been alert, shook his head at this moment.
He was surprised that no one or anything else was close here.
Can't even feel Beidou
Wen Qingzhu turned around and prepared to go back to the desk.
Unexpectedly, I saw something extra on the table—a wooden pony.
For some reason, the wooden pony was facing Wen Qingzhu's side, with two black eyes, as if it could see people, looking at her quietly.
Wen Qingzhu felt that the wooden pony was very strange, giving her an indescribable feeling of discomfort.
"Beidou, take out the arrow! Throw it at the wooden pony and see."
Beidou did as he was told.
With a hiss, the arrow flew over.
But that little wooden pony's body was bent a lot!
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu's hair stood on end!
What is this!
Wen Qingzhu immediately stepped back and ordered: "Go! Get out of here!"
Without any hesitation, Beidou carried Wen Qingzhu on his back and jumped out of the window.
As soon as I landed, I found that there was no one in the yard!
A chill rose from the soles of my feet.
This is where she lives, there is no way there is no one there.
The most important thing is that the surroundings are so quiet!
Wen Qingzhu had goosebumps all over his body. He was back to back with Beidou and was wary of his surroundings.
Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu felt as if someone was watching her.
Looking up, he saw that the wooden pony that was on the desk was actually standing on the edge of the window. Its head was slightly lowered, as if it was looking at Wen Qingzhu.
"What is this!" Cold sweat broke out in Wen Qingzhu's palms.
Beidou behind her was also nervous, something was wrong here!
No one answered Wen Qingzhu. Beidou couldn't speak, but if he strained his throat, he could still make a whooshing sound.
"Ho ho! Ho ho!" Beidou suddenly grabbed her hand and reminded her.
Wen Qingzhu squinted towards Beidou and saw a paper figure that looked like a servant, holding a kitchen knife and walking this way.
"I'll go!" Wen Qingzhu had read many fairy tales.
Now she kind of came to the book.
There are moving paper figures and a Trojan horse that shoots arrows at her. It's strange that no one else is around!
Wen Qingzhu tried to call someone, but no one responded at all.
Cold sweat fell from his forehead drop by drop. Wen Qingzhu had never felt that time was so slow.
Seeing the paper man getting closer and closer, Wen Qingzhu said: "Beidou! Go and grab the kitchen knife! Be careful not to touch the paper man!"
Before he finished speaking, Beidou moved and reached out to grab the kitchen knife.
With a strong pull, the arm of the paper man was torn off, and at the same time, the kitchen knife easily reached Beidou's hand.
Wen Qingzhu stared at the paper man closely.
His body shook rapidly, and a ball of fire suddenly appeared on his body, which was burned to ashes.
"What's going on?" Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked behind him, and a vague figure suddenly appeared.
This is a human!
In the darkness, a clear voice came: "Don't worry, sir. I was sent here by Mr. Wu to help you. These things are basically not dangerous, as long as you wait until dawn."
"Mr. Wu?" Wen Qingzhu wanted to ask, but that man had disappeared.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was no other movement around.
When Wen Qingzhu looked up unintentionally, he found that the wooden horse on the window edge had also disappeared.
Looking at the surrounding environment, the courtyard, the grass and trees, the bluestone slabs, the courtyard door, and the huge moon above my head.
There was no wind tonight, and the moon was surprisingly big and round—
"No! Today is neither the fifteenth nor the sixteenth! Today is the twenty-fourth! It should be the waning moon! How can it be a full moon!"
Wen Qingzhu stared at the moon, and the creepy feeling in his heart emerged uncontrollably.
Looking around, she tried to take a step, but there was still the sound of her footsteps.
Perhaps because of this weird moonlight, Wen Qingzhu felt that the surroundings were very bright, and every tree and plant was clearly visible.
The man just said there was no danger, and now almost an hour has passed, and there is indeed no danger.
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes, and suddenly a familiar shout came from far away.
"My lord! My lord! Where are you?"
"Lord Wen!"
"Lord Wen!"
Among these sounds, there were also the sounds of panicked and hasty footsteps.
Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes suddenly, and those voices suddenly disappeared.
She seemed to understand something and whispered a few words to Beidou.
Then Wen Qingzhu took out a small bottle from his sleeve, which contained a red powder.
Beidou carried Wen Qingzhu on his back, and they both closed their eyes at the same time. She uncorked the bottle in her hand, and as Beidou moved, the powder slowly came out.
After they closed their eyes, the sounds came again.
Following Wen Qingzhu's instructions, Beidou walked that way step by step, while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Not long after, Beidou encountered a threshold.
As soon as he stepped out, all the sounds suddenly appeared in his ears.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes, he saw Lu Jiajun looking for him with a torch.
Soon, they also discovered him and quickly gathered around him.
The leader asked: "Sir, why are you here in the woodshed?"
Wen Qingzhu looked back and saw that behind them was a yard where firewood was piled.
She patted Beidou on the shoulder, and Beidou put her down.
When he walked out just now, Wen Qingzhu calculated Beidou's steps, and they walked a distance of three feet.
Wen Qingzhu walked back, right in the middle of the Chai Fang Garden.
Someone also came in from outside the door, and one of them asked doubtfully: "We looked here twice just now, why didn't we see you?"
Wen Qingzhu explained: "I have always been in the courtyard where I live."
In a hurry, she returned to the yard where she lived, and what she saw was blood and corpses all over the yard.
At this moment, Lu Jiajun was counting the number of people.
The captain who was following him said: "Sir, an assassin appeared here about an hour ago. When we arrived, we found that your Excellency was not there. We thought you had been captured by them, so we fought hard and captured a few alive. , but they confessed that they did not arrest the adults.”
"So there are two groups of people?" Wen Qingzhu walked in step by step, looking at the messy vegetation with either footprints or blood stains on it.
The captain followed unhurriedly: "From the current point of view, it should be so, but my subordinates don't understand. I have been guarding the door. How did you get captured?"
Hearing his words, Wen Qingzhu stopped, turned around and replied: "Beidou and I have been in the yard all the time, we just jumped from upstairs to downstairs, and we didn't leave during the period."
"But...but we found you in the woodshed." The captain was a little confused.
Wen Qingzhu thought deeply: "Didn't your subordinates just say that they searched both sides of the woodshed carefully and saw no one?"
Without waiting for his answer, Wen Qingzhu told him his experience with Beidou, and asked Beidou to bring up the kitchen knife.
The captain looked at the kitchen knife in his hand. There was a piece of white paper wrapped around the handle, and he felt horrified: "No, it can't be. How is such a thing possible?"
Looking at the waning moon in the sky, Wen Qingzhu did not explain, but just ordered: "Send this kitchen knife to Tang Qin and let him investigate it carefully. I think I need to stay in Texas for two more days."
After a busy night, the news of Wen Qingzhu's assassination spread quickly.
Liu Guang hurried over and knelt down to apologize.
Wen Qingzhu was leaning on the wicker chair with a blanket covering his body.
She lazily opened her eyes, looked at Liu Guang and asked, "I heard before that a Taoist Immortal came to your Texas state. I heard that he could spread the beans and make soldiers into soldiers. Have you seen Master Liu?"
Liu Guang, who was looking at the ground, felt his heart tightening and his mouth was so dry that his voice was trembling: "How is this possible? If an immortal comes here, of course he goes to the capital. Dezhou is just a small place, why? There will be immortals.”
There were so many flaws that Wen Qingzhu didn't even bother to point out directly.
She quickly mobilized her people last night, arrested many people, and interrogated them all night long, and finally got some information.
It's just that Liu Guang still doesn't admit it.
Then she had no choice but to use her trump card: "Go and invite Mr. Liu's beloved son."
Soon, a six-year-old boy was led out by a maid.
When Liu Guang looked at it, he felt as if his throat was being strangled.
At this time, Wen Qingzhu stood up from the wicker chair, waved to the little boy and said, "Come here, sister will give you candy."
Xiao Na ran over in a hurry, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly looked at Liu Guang and said, "Why is daddy here? Why is he kneeling down? Did he make a mistake?"
"No, I am your father's boss. I am a senior official, so he has to kneel."
After a brief explanation, Wen Qingzhu took out a candy, handed it to the little boy and said, "Tell me, what did you see your dad doing yesterday?"
