As soon as Xu Zizhen finished speaking, Su San's eyes widened. Now even Xu Mo understood, and they both said in unison: "No!"
"Otherwise, what better way do you have?" Xu Zizhen asked with a smile on his face.
"No!" Su San gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "But you can't do that, you'll die!"
Xu Zizhen had already thought that Su San's reaction would be fierce, so he could only comfort him: "Don't worry, I will find a way to escape. Don't be so talkative as to whether you will die or not."
"No, it's no!" Su San insisted, "If you insist on doing this, it's fine. It's my turn to distract the golden dog."
Xu Mo gritted his teeth and said, "No, I'll go. My parents are gone anyway, so there's no point in me being the only one alive."
Xu Zizhen smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "But you two are not as famous as me. Well, this matter has been decided. If anyone objects again, I will kill the supervisor now, and then run into the street and shout
I, Xu Zizhen, am here."
"You..." Su San suddenly became angry. Xu Zizhen was clearly playing rogue. If he did this, there would be only one result, and that would be to attract countless golden soldiers in an instant. Moreover, she believed that if she objected again, Xu Zizhen would really dare to do this.
Just a stubborn donkey.
Xu Mo was also discouraged. Xu Zizhen was right. What kind of person he was, the Jin soldiers probably wouldn't want to kill him.
The Jin Bing supervising the work in the distance seemed to have noticed something, and shouted to here: "What are you three doing? Be careful with the whip."
"Ah, yes, yes!" Xu Zizhen replied in a pretense of panic, and then whispered, "I will make preparations secretly, don't worry, let's get to work now."
Su San opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just felt sad in her heart. She was not stupid. Xu Zizhen's words about how to escape were purely to comfort her. Jin Ren had set up this situation early, so naturally it would never be so easy.
Let anyone leave, let alone a celebrity like him, Xu Zizhen.
Xu Mo didn't say anything, but he didn't know what he was thinking about for the next time. A trace of determination seemed to flash in his eyes, as if he had made a big decision.
A few days passed by, and the newly built market slowly took shape with the cooperation of craftsmen and dozens of civilians such as Xu Zizhen. The execution platform at the end of the market was the first to be completed, and in the past few days, those shops were actually opened.
People have moved in one after another, some opening cloth shops, some opening tea shops, and some opening restaurants.
Xu Zizhen didn't even need to guess. These shops must have been ambushed by the Jinren, and I believe that the rebels who came to rescue people would also know about it. However, they could not avoid being ambushed, because they could only force their way in if they wanted to save people.
Here, there is no other way.
In the past few days, Xu Zizhen had gradually perfected his crazy plan after calming down. On the last day before the execution day, he suddenly had a dispute with the craftsmen for unknown reasons. Before the supervisor could step forward to stop him,
By then the fighting had begun.
This conflict came very suddenly, and they started fighting after just two or three sentences. It was unclear who caused the trouble first, but the final result was that they fought in a store that was about to be completed. First, Xu Zizhen and one of them started fighting.
The craftsmen started fighting, and soon he was beating four or five craftsmen. Xu Mo, Su San and two other peasants came to persuade them, but they failed to persuade them. Instead, they collapsed the wall of the shop while pushing and pulling.
Half a noodle.
Wow!
The newly built wall turned into a pile of broken bricks. The movements of Xu Zizhen and the craftsman finally stopped. The people at the scene were all stunned, looking at each other at a loss.
"Damn it, what are you untouchables doing?" The supervisor finally came to his senses, picked up the whip and rushed over. He whipped Xu Zizhen and others indiscriminately, and cursed while whipping, "Grandpa was not paying attention.
Just start a riot and see if grandpa doesn’t beat you to death!"
Several people all turned pale and squatted on the ground with their heads held in their hands, letting him beat him. The whip made a gash on their bodies, but they did not dare to cry. The supervisor gave him more than a dozen severe lashes before he could barely suppress his anger and stopped.
, pointed at several people on the scene and cursed: "Everyone else, get out of here. You guys are not allowed to sleep today. Please wait until I finish it!"
"The villain knows his fault, the villain knows his fault!" Xu Zizhen lay on the ground and begged for mercy. Then he consciously got up and picked up the broken bricks. The craftsmen did not dare to neglect and continued to work.
In the end, most of the shop was destroyed. They said they were not allowed to sleep, but they couldn't start work at night. When the supervisor came to look at it early the next morning, half of the roof was still unfinished. He was beaten and scolded again, but
It doesn't help anymore.
At about this time, the expert yamen servant whom he hadn't seen for a few days suddenly appeared again. He was still dressed as an official today and walked in from a distance from Fangshikou, as if he was inspecting the shops on both sides of the street. Wait.
When I arrived at the only unfinished shop at the end, I was stunned for a moment.
"What's going on?" His face instantly darkened.
The supervisor lost his usual arrogance and trotted up to him and explained in a low voice. However, he did not dare to say that it was caused by a fight between craftsmen and civilians. Instead, he said that the construction period was not calculated accurately and there was a slight delay. He knew that if he said
If a fight breaks out, he will probably be the first to be punished.
The expert yamen officer was obviously very unhappy, but it was a fact that it was too late to complete the work. There was nothing anyone could do about it. He just glared at the supervisor and wanted to curse a few words, but he heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from the entrance of Fangshi. Soon,
Then I saw a group of Jin troops in full armor approaching.
The supervisor's feet were a little trembling, but he still said: "Master Yao, look...if you don't let them continue, it won't be much worse anyway."
Master Yao took a sullen look. The unfinished shop was just south of Xingtai, separated by an open space from Xingtai. Later, the prison official would be sitting in front of the shop. He took another look at the people in front of him.
They were just a few craftsmen. He still had some impressions of Xu Zizhen, but he was frightened half to death when he dug out a dead man's arm that day.
He named three people in a row, which happened to be Xu Zizhen, Su San and a craftsman: "You, you, and you, you continue to lay the tiles, please hurry up!" After speaking, he turned around and walked aside, finding a place to stand.
, but his eyes were already wandering around in the darkness.
Xu Zizhen squatted on the roof and worked conscientiously, secretly letting out a long breath.
The timing is just right, and the next step is to see how many people cooperate with this calamity to plot against each other.
The team of golden soldiers that came in had already lined up and surrounded Xingtai, and the execution platform was also properly placed. At this time, they heard another sound of rumbling cars in the distance. Xu Zizhen's heart suddenly lifted, and his eyes were blank.
He looked over.
…
I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Monkey and all the best!
