On the second day, Li Xing called everyone together again. He also changed into a set of clean and light clothes and led everyone to move bricks together.
Although there are voices of resistance in the team and complaints about the work they have arranged, the work still has to go on.
What's more, in Li Xing's view, prison work is the top priority.
If there is no prison, you will not know where to imprison someone if you arrest them, which will seriously affect your performance.
"Master Li, there is still some work in the accounting office. Can I take a leave first?" As soon as the work started, Ma Qianli started to think about being lazy.
"no."
"well……"
Ma Qianli sighed: "If I had known this, why would I have been in such a hurry to behead my head? There were still prisoners working, but now they are all killed."
"What the hell, even if you are a prisoner, you are still a human being and you cannot continue to exploit him."
"Then squeeze us?" Ma Qianli asked dissatisfied.
"Well……"
Li Xing was severely criticized, and what Ma Qianli said made sense. The county government was really short of people. The current manpower was not enough to support the normal operation of a county, even a small county.
"I'll think of ways to hire some people later," Li Xing said.
"When will we turn back?" Ma Qianli asked.
"Looking back means looking back." Li Xing sighed: "You are not very good at talking."
"Where is County Magistrate Li? We want to see Magistrate Li."
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and chaotic sounds came in.
Ma Qianli hurried to the door, leaned on the crack of the door and took a look, and was startled:
"Sir, you are in trouble. Many people have come here, presumably to settle accounts with you?"
"What kind of account should you ask me for?" Li Xing was also a little confused: "I am an honest and honest official, and I will never bend the law for personal gain. What trouble will there be?"
"Hey, you don't understand this. It's precisely because you are an honest official and never show favoritism that you are in trouble." Ma Qianli said: "Just think about how many people you have arrested recently and beheaded so many people.
I guess many people secretly want you to die."
Li Xing thought for a while: "It makes sense."
At this time, Feng Tianlei also ran over and took a look: "Hey, there are a lot of people coming, there are hundreds of them, and they are holding things in their hands, including wooden sticks, carts, spatulas... Sir, you still
Hurry up and hide."
With a whoosh, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Yang Erlang carried a pole and led the crowd in.
"Master Li, we are all here to help."
"Huh?"
Li Xing, who was about to turn around and leave, stood still again. Things seemed to be different from what Ma Qianli said.
Yesterday, Zhao Lei was asked to find some masons, and the news has spread in the county.
Although there are many criminals in Baihu County, there are still some people who want to live a stable life.
After Li Xing arrived in Baihu County, he carried out several actions one after another, beheading people like melons. Among the people in the market, he was already known as the county magistrate who beheaded people.
Some petty thieves and gangsters on the street can be said to have fled and moved overnight.
The security situation in Baihu County has been greatly improved.
After the news spread yesterday, the entire Baihu County was shocked.
When a county magistrate took office, he didn't hold banquets, didn't find a wife, and tried every means to raise taxes. The first thing he did was to build a prison.
This county magistrate is so dedicated. Where can you find such a good magistrate?
The crowd spontaneously came to the county government to help, and big households in the city donated stones, wood, and mud... The prison was to be built so impregnably that no prisoner could escape.
"Yeah, the county magistrate still does the work himself?"
Someone found Li Xing with his hands covered in mud. The crowd gathered around and pointed at Li Xing.
"Really."
"I have never seen such a good county magistrate before."
"Who isn't?"
Everyone looked at Li Xing as if he were a talking monkey.
Li Xing was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig into a crack in the ground with his feet and get in.
"Captain Zhao, go to the kitchen and boil some water. Thank you for your hard work, fellow villagers."
"Master Li, there is no need to bother, we have prepared these things ourselves."
A man in his fifties stood up. His face was full of wrinkles, and he said with a smile: "Thanks to the county magistrate for your hard work. Don't worry, I am a long-time bricklayer and the best at building houses. I will definitely build the prison solidly."
"
"It's hard work, what do you call me?" Li Xing said.
"My surname is Hong, and I don't have a name. Because I am tall, people call me Hong Da."
"The accent doesn't sound like a local, does it?"
"The county magistrate has a good ear!" Big Hong gave a thumbs up and said: "It has been thirty years since I fled here and settled down here. Now my beard is white and my hair is gone.
"
"Captain Zhao..." Li Xing waved his hand: "Come here."
"No need to bother, we all brought dry food and water. As I said just now, there is no need to boil water for us."
Li Xing pointed at the big man Hong and said, "Caught him."
"ah!"
Hong Daguo and the surrounding villagers were stunned. With a bang, Zhao Lei shackled him, and then turned around and asked: "County Magistrate, why?"
"Hong Tianchou, the gangster who committed murder and swindled goods in Qingfeng Road back then, was wanted by the Ministry of Justice for thirty years. Do you think everyone has forgotten you?" Li Xing looked at the other person and said.
The surrounding villagers were stunned, and one said: "Sir, you must have made a mistake. Old Man Hong is a good man."
"Yeah, yeah, let alone killing people, he wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken."
"It's a mistake. It must be a mistake."
The crowd was talking to each other, but Hong Da was the only one who said nothing. After a long while, he shook his head helplessly: "Sure enough, this day will come sooner or later."
The crowd was startled and took the initiative to distance themselves from Mr. Hong, staring at each other in stunned silence.
Hong Tianhen himself was a son of a wealthy family in the south. He had advocated immortality since he was a child, seeking immortality and Buddhism everywhere, spending gold and silver in vain.
In the end, I ran out of money, made my parents angry, and couldn't find my way out.
Cultivation of immortality is not something you can just do if you want to.
From then on, his character went to extremes. Looking around the world, there was no one who could not be killed.
After many twists and turns, he became a tough gangster on Qingfeng Road, famous for killing people like crazy.
Men, women, old and weak, as long as they fall into his hands, they are all destined to be killed. Some beautiful women were raped by him before they died.
Although he is not good at cultivating immortals, he has been immersed in martial arts for many years and walks alone. The government wanted him for a long time, but they could not catch him.
Until one day, Hong Tianchou robbed a family of three again. In front of the husband, he played with each other's wives and stabbed them one by one. When he killed the three-year-old child, the child didn't cry or make a fuss. He just opened his eyes wide.
Glanced at him.
Just this glance made him feel creepy, as if he had a nightmare and suddenly woke up, only to find that he was covered in blood when he woke up.
Hong Tianchou, who had just woken up from a dream, left Qingfeng Road and washed his hands in a golden basin. He wandered all the way to Baihu County, where he settled down and worked as a common bricklayer.
Thirty years later, with a snap of his fingers, he had almost forgotten what happened in the past, but the child's eyes would appear in his dreams from time to time.
He also didn't expect that someone would help him remember the things he had almost forgotten.
Li Xing also read the official documents on sea arrests from the Ministry of Punishment. Because of his ice thinking ability, he could never forget what he said.
So, I recognized him at a glance today.
Li Xing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard. When the prison is built, you will be the first to move in."
