Hundreds of ragged men walked from a distance, carrying wood, two people carried one, the size of the bowl, and the length of the logs two or three meters long bent everyone's waists.

A pair of people carrying wood walked to Gu Zhenhua. The young man walking in front looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. His body was shaking and his forehead was constantly dripping. Suddenly, his feet slipped, his body slipped, and the heavy wood also smashed. If the wood fell on his body, he would inevitably have broken tendons and broken bones.

"ah!"

Just as everyone around was screaming, a big hand stretched out, and Gu Zhenhua decisively clamped the wood with his arms to stop the momentum of falling. When the young man who fell to the ground raised his head, the log was less than a foot away from his head. If the person in front of him had not saved him, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Thank you, sir!"

The young man struggled to get up and kowtow. At this time, the plainclothes guards behind hurried over and took the logs from Gu Zhenhua's hand.

Gu Zhenhua helped the young man up and asked, "How is it? Didn't you fall or hurt?"

"No, it's okay, sir, the young man has to move wood. If it's too late, the boss will be punished again!"

The young man said, and got up in a panic and limped to the front of the log. When he lowered his head, his body suddenly leaned forward and fell to the ground again.

"It's all like this, why are you doing? Hurry up and see the doctor!"

Wu Kaijie hurriedly approached and hugged the young man in his arms. He bought it unexpectedly, as if it was only sixty or seventy kilograms at most, all of which were bruised. When he fell down, the cushion on his shoulder also fell down, revealing a large area of ​​bruises, red, swollen and tall skin, and blood oozed out.

"Hey, what an old child, it's just a sin!"

Wu Wu Shouye also came closer and reached out to take the young man. He said, "I'll send him to my house first, and let the doctor treat him quickly."

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly followed a group of men who moved wood with young men to stop Wu Kaijie.

"You wait first, the little one has something to say."

"What did you say?"

"Masters, there are two people who move wood. If you take him away, only the small ones will be left. If you can't move over, the boss will blame me, but it will take my life! You can't save one, you will harm one!"

Wu Kaijie frowned and said, "You don't have eyes, you're going to die, and you still want to work?"

"A person has a dead debt. A few days ago, his father broke his leg when he was moving the wood. As the saying goes, father's debts and sons pay off. This is the rule set by Mr. Shen, and we can't do anything about it!"

"Nonsense!" Wu Kaijie said: "The Zhongshan King clearly stipulates that only the spare labor is under the control of the merchants. Judging from the child's situation, I'm afraid he hasn't been a child yet. Why should he let him work!"

The man was also anxious when asked, "How did I know what the bullshit prince had made? I just knew that it was because of him that we all became slaves to the Shen family. We were tired every day. If we had known this, we might as well shave our hair and follow the Tartars. Maybe it would be better!"

"You dare to talk nonsense, don't you think I'm..." Wu Kaijie raised his fist and was about to hit him.

Gu Zhenhua reached out and grabbed him, smiled at the man, "You are right, help others to the end, how about I'll follow you to move the wood?"

When the man saw that Gu Zhenhua was taller and stronger than him, he laughed dryly: "That's great. Just look at your outfit, I'm afraid I can't endure hardship!"

Gu Zhenhua ignored him, but rolled up the leather robe and placed it on his shoulder. He stretched out his hand to carry the wood.

Wu Kaijie hurriedly said, "Boss, let me leave it. You can't do this job!"

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand, "Don't even think about running away. Go find a wooden man to carry it, so as not to have a corpse position and eat!"

"Why!"

Wu Kaijie, Fang Jianming, Wu Shouye and others looked at each other, and did not dare to refute. They just snatched a piece of wood from other civilians and trotted behind them.

These libas look interesting. Each of them is wearing better clothes than the other, and they are actually fighting to find a grudge. Could it be that their heads are burned out?

Gu Zhenhua didn't care about the strangeness of these people, and his heart surged. Speaking of which, he also started a business in his previous life, and knew the madness of capital. But Gu Zhenhua always thought that the short-term problem would not be so big. Even if he had let go for more than ten years, created enough wealth, drove away the Qing Dynasty, and went back to restrict it, it would be fine.

It’s only now that Gu Zhenhua woke up that no matter when the beasts arrived, they would eat meat!

If you don’t find a way to control it, the young man just now is not the first, let alone the last one, and even several generations will have to pay a heavy price.

The logs on the shoulders are heavy, but what is heavier is how to complete the original accumulation, so that the people can pay less and minimize the smell of blood!

I followed the civilians to the wooden workshop of the Shen family. The people here obviously didn't know that something happened to the Shen family, so they still worked diligently to accept the wood they sent.

These men sent the wood inside and piled it on the ground casually. A manager with a goatee counted the number and nodded with satisfaction.

"Let me listen. By the end of the year, there are more people purchasing furniture and more shipments. You have to deliver it three times a day. If anyone can't do it, just wait to go to jail!"

An older man heard this and simply sat on the ground.

"If you have the ability, just send me to prison. Eating a bite of jail is better than being exhausted to death!"

"Old guy, put away your hooligan style, let me tell you, this is the rule set by Mr. Shen. The coal mine works for eight hours a day. If you don't want to move wood, go to the coal mine. Don't think that I didn't remind you, it's just a meal in the world and a job in the underworld! Whether you can hold on depends on luck!"

As the manager said, walking through the crowd, he sneered, "Don't complain. I'll send it twice now, just once more. Can you still kill me? You must be as strong as this one, I think it's okay to move it four times a day!"

The manager walked to Gu Zhenhua, looked up and down, and smiled and said, "This friend, don't you look like Liba?"

"Didn't it seem like you said? I'm also carrying wood!"

The manager laughed: "I have a little temper. I think you are good, otherwise I will do this. I will appoint you as the leader of these people and take care of them. Whoever dares to be lazy and cannot bring the wood three times will beat me hard and kill me!"

Gu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and said, "What if he beat him to death?"

"Hahaha, you are an amateur. These Libas say nicely, but they are just a group of two-legged animals. When our Master Shen contracted the farm from the court, they became Mr. Shen's servants, and they could be driven by them. Do you dare to disobey? The yamen wants to listen to the Supervisory Yuan, and even if they make trouble, they will have to An Guojun. Don't forget that An Guojun is eating our Mr. Shen's military pay, so how can he not do anything for us?"

The manager was swaying and sighed to the sky: "The King of Zhongshan is so wise. In the past, these mud legs were guarding the fields, and our workshops could not attract people. Now it is different. They all have to listen to us. The power of life and death is the most important thing, who dares not accept it..."

"Shut up!"

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the door of the workshop. Shen Degong, a man in his seventies, actually surpassed the limit of human beings, spread his legs, and reached the point where he was sprinting at a speed of 100 meters. He swung the crutch in his hand and smashed it hard.

"Beast, you want me to destroy the nine clans, and I will beat you to death!"

Two or three crutches hit the guy's face, his nose bridge collapsed, his front teeth were knocked away, and his face was covered in blood.

"Master, you are crazy about gaining and losing your heart? Why are you fighting villains? The young one is doing your business for you!"

Shen Degong's strength was also exhausted. He suddenly fell softly to the ground, crawling in front of Gu Zhenhua with all his body protruding.

"Prince, it's my fault that I make mistakes. Please let me go and punish me. Leave a way out for the Shen family!"

Prince!

When all the folks present heard these two words, they were so scared that they quickly cleared their ears, for fear of hearing them wrongly. This tall young man is the king of Zhongshan!

The man who carried the wood with Gu Zhenhua just now had the biggest eyes. What did I just say!

He suddenly swung his hand and slapped himself in the mouth.

"Make you talk too much, make you seek death, make you fart..."

Gu Zhenhua was too lazy to look at Shen Degong, but he snorted coldly from his nose. At this time, Yan Yingyuan also rushed over from outside.

"Prince, Bei Zhi has ordered the investigation of all the industries of the Shen family, and their family wealth is used to compensate the civilians for the losses. In addition, Lu Boshun also investigated and dealt with immediately. No one involved can be let go!"

Gu Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Yan, you all come with me."

They arrived at a clean house, and everyone sat around, their faces were very gloomy.

Wu Kaijie said first: "Prince, Shen Degong has lost all his conscience in doing these bad things, especially the crimes are unforgivable. He dares to blame you. He thinks that severe punishment must be punished. Not killing is not enough to calm the anger of the people and not enough to safeguard the prince's reputation!"

Gu Zhenhua was surprisingly calm. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Wu Kaijie, when it comes to killing corrupt officials, the one who kills the most fiercely is Taizu of this dynasty! But the first county magistrate took the skin and daylily, followed immediately, killed the second one, and the third one remained the same. At the end of the killing, even he suspected that he was. The corrupt officials were constantly killed. Can the profiteering businessmen be killed? "

Yan Yingyuan frowned: "What the prince said is, but he must not stop killing and cannot ignore it. But most of the Anguojun tax revenue depends on these workshops and these taxpayers. It's really a dilemma!"

Gu Zhenhua said: "We should strictly enforce the law and discipline. King Shen Degong will not let it go, but the workshops cannot be reduced, and taxes cannot be reduced!"

It's indeed a dilemma!
