19. Red-faced pretty princess
"I want to kill him." Bai Linglong was a little out of control at this time.
"Calm down, if you come to him now, then he will win," said Li Hugo.
"Don't you think it's too cheap for him to kill him? Can you swallow what she did to you?"
"What should I do?" Bai Linglong was sobbing that she couldn't speak.
"Li Yutang colluded with horse thieves and exploited good deeds. As far as I know, he should have an account book and a list of goods for horse thieves to come and go. These things can help us reveal Li Yutang's true face and let the people of Nalan City know that Li Yutang is a dog, a dog that eats people but does not spit bones, which makes his reputation discredited. This is more appropriate than killing him. Otherwise, if he dies, he might become a hero. After all, in the eyes of the whole city, Li Yutang is a good person, a good general, he is the embodiment of kindness, and he is the messenger of justice." Li Hugo said.
"I can't do it." Bai Linglong said,
"I'm just a weak woman, how can I do it?"
"No, you are very strong, you are stronger than anyone else! I have checked you. You used to be the daughter of a village chief and were born in a scholarly family. But in order to find your younger brother, you can even endure humiliation. With this determination, you are above everyone else! If possible, I am willing to find those books in person, but Li Yutang was too careful. He was wary of everyone around him, including the one he was closest to, and he was obviously rich, but he refused to redeem you. Can't you still see it?" Li Hugo said.
Bai Linglong's mood stabilized a little: "I can give it a try, but how should I contact you?"
"I." The thief came out and he said,
"There is a small flower pot outside your windowsill, which you usually take care of. If you have any news to spread, wrap the information in oil paper, then hide it at the bottom of the flower pot, tie a white ribbon around the flower pot, and I will come over to take your secret letter."
"Okay!" Bai Linglong said without hesitation. Her eyes were full of anger at this time. Her younger brother was her hope for life. Now that the hope was gone, she said that she would avenge her younger brother's blood revenge.
She slowly looked up: "Li Hugo, you seem to be very different from before."
"Is that right?" Li Hugo put his hands behind him, and he smiled slightly.
"A man must wear a mask. Of course, you have to recognize your true identity. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that this mask cannot be worn for too long, otherwise it will grow with the skin, and the fake ones will become real, and you will really not be able to go down by then."
"Okay." Li Hugo walked forward,
"The meeting ends here. Otherwise, if you have been away for a long time, if Zhang Ma can see any clues, it will be bad. Zhang Ma is a profit-oriented person. For the sake of money, she will betray everything she can sell, even if it is you."
"I know." Bai Linglong said slowly,
"Young Master Li, thank you." Bai Linglong bowed respectfully and bowed to Li Hugo. Li Hugo no longer stayed, but left the mass grave with the thief Junxue.
"What will we do next?" Jun Xue asked.
"It's almost the same. We should give the people some benefits." Li Hugo looked at the sky. The sky was gloomy and dark clouds were everywhere, but he knew that behind the dark clouds was the gorgeous sunshine.
It’s just that the dark clouds are too thick, completely blocking the sunlight, which makes the surrounding earth look lifeless.
But at this time, a gap suddenly appeared in the dark clouds, and a ray of sunlight sneaked out and sprinkled on the city wall. The light seemed to be not far away.
"The City Lord's Mansion has recruited workers!" Jun Xue stood at the city gate and said,
"Recruiting workers, one bucket of noodles every day, the registration speed is coming, only one hundred people are recruited!" Jun Xue's shout immediately made the city gate excited.
"What? Did I hear it wrong? One dou every day?"
"Wait a minute, this seems to be the maid next to Ruanfenwang shouting. Will he be fooling us?"
"No matter whether he is playing or not, we won't lose any piece of meat if we play. Besides, if it is true, we can get a bucket of noodles every day!" The entire city gate was in full swing.
The thief emperor stood beside Li Hugo in a mask: "Brother, is this really OK?"
"To pull the recession of Nalan City out of the mud, the first step is to ensure that the people can eat." Li Hugo walked up, and the simple wooden platform was already full of people.
When people saw Li Hugo, one of them showed a look of contempt.
"Look, it's the King of Soft Rice!"
"It's really a joke on us, it's nonsense! Let's go."
"Yes, there is no such good thing in the world. It is said that the city lord's mansion is very difficult every day, so how could they be compassionate to our lives and death!" Hearing the discussions around, Li Huguo came directly to the stage and used a gourd to scoop up a bucket of noodles: "Of course it's not for you to give you rice and flour in vain. You also need to work responsively. From today on, the wasteland ten miles outside the city will officially begin to be reclaimed!" A bold man stepped forward and said, "Okay, give me a bucket of noodles first!" As he said that, he took out his linen bag.
Without hesitation, Li Yuguo filled the sackcloth pocket: "You are the first one, so I'll give you a bucket and give you another bucket!" When the man looked at the slowly filling the sackcloth pocket, he was trembling all over excitedly. He grabbed a handful of flour and put it on his mouth and licked it: "It's really a dough!" As soon as these words came out, the people around the city gate were boiling.
"Wow, there's such a big good thing!"
"Oh my God, there are only one hundred people, I will join in too!"
"Don't squeeze, hey! Don't squeeze, I said don't squeeze, my pants were squeezed out!" The people rushed to compete.
Li Huguo greeted, "Line in line, there is no noodles in the line!" Soon, two large bags of rice and flour had been divided, and the people around him who got the rice and flour surrounded Li Huguo. Under Li Huguo's leadership, he came to the wasteland outside the city. If this place is used as farmland again, irrigation must be introduced, so ditches are the first step.
Li Huguo had already prepared seeds, all kinds of seeds. As long as water is successfully transferred in, the cultivation of this field will not be a problem. In this way, the problem of food will be solved.
But this is also a long-term plan.
"Brother, I have to spend fifty taels of food every day. If this continues, it will be a considerable expense." The thief reminded kindly.
"I know, it's better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish." Li Hugo said. The thief sighed: "Madam has treated you like this. Actually, I think you can start your own business, just rely on your brother's ability."
"Although she is fierce, she is not a villain at heart." Li Hugo said. After all, the original Nalan Meng did not abandon Li Hugo at the last moment. Even if Li Hugo died, she would fight to the end and die exhausted.
However, what Li Yuguo didn't know was that at this time, Nalan Meng was hiding behind a tree not far away. She could hear Li Yuguo's words clearly. At this time, her face was a little hot. She covered her face and cursed inwardly: "This bastard, such embarrassing words are so natural, so shameless!" She was about to leave, but she couldn't help but look at Li Yuguo. Her lips stammered and murmured, "Master, it seems that Hugo has really changed." The reclamation work was proceeding in an orderly manner. Three days later, Li Yuguo arrived as promised and came to inspect the field. However, when he came over, he found that there was a mess around. The people were sitting on the ground, and each of them was more or less injured.
Li Yuguo immediately ran to a white-haired old man and said, "Uncle Zhong, what's going on?"
"Is it a son-in-law?" he said. Since Li Hugo recruited these people, everyone who worked here has been able to get some food, so his impression of Li Hugo has also improved significantly.
