Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 72 The crisis is imminent (two chapters in one)

When Zheng Quchi saw that he agreed, his brows were filled with joy.

Thinking back to when she took on a project in the architectural design institute, after the leader entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, she finally achieved a promotion and a salary increase by virtue of the opportunity to strive for the top performance. The mood now is probably similar to that at that time, and the goal has been achieved. A big step.

Although this leader is not that leader, the risk factor of working under him is Chengton's increase.

She pursed her lips, a little nervous, but she was appointed by him as a project engineer, so she still had the courage to propose the "remuneration" she expected.

"Thank you, General, for your trust, but General... If I repair the city wall, can I make a small request to you?"

Yu Wencheng was a little surprised, after all, not long ago he had defined the name "selfless" for her, but now he suddenly became a "philistine".

He deliberately lowered his laughter, and the smile on his lips deepened into a dangerous arc: "Sang Xuanqing, you haven't even laid a stone on the wall yet, and you dare to make a condition with this general?"

He has seen a lot of people who are proud and proud, but it is the first time in his life that he has seen someone like her who can't wait to make "requests" to him as soon as she takes office.

When other people outside the door secretly heard this, their hearts tightened suddenly, and they suddenly became anxious and worried.

"General, if you don't get upset all of a sudden, just cut Sang Xuanqing in half with a single sword."

"If Sang Xuanqing is hacked, does anyone of you know how to make that clay cement? Or can you listen to and read the piles of scriptures she said before?"

After a moment of silence, they couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed in, trying their best to save Zheng Quchi's life from the general.

One human head, two human heads, three...all fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Please calm down, general."

You must leave Xiao Sang, a fat dog, with his life!
They deliberately knelt between Zheng Quchi and the general, hoping that the general would stop killing her and finish her off.

As long as you can calm down and think about it, in the current situation - the craftsman in charge was shot and seriously injured, the fortification has been stagnant due to various difficulties, and the craftsman is scarce, etc., she still dares to face the difficulties. Go up, organize the fortifications in a neat way.

That fearlessness and audacity alone made it worth the risk they would take on her.

Although this "Sang Xuanqing" is really a dumbass, she can't even speak, but now she is responsible for the entire city wall construction project.

Whether it's a donkey or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk before you know.

Zheng Quchi widened his eyes, looking in surprise at so many people who appeared out of nowhere.

Among them were soldiers, several engineers and masons, and Wang Zebang, especially Wei Yao, who she was more familiar with.

Seeing the people kneeling on the ground without telling the reason, they almost filled up the small space in front of her.

Zheng Quchi: "..." No matter how dull she looked at Yu Wencheng, she had already understood his volatile temperament, so it was not surprising that he suddenly turned his face.

Seeing that these people who were supposed to be guarding the door broke in regardless of orders, and only pleaded for Sang Xuanqing, Yu Wensheng didn't say anything, but let them kneel.

But Zheng Quchi felt inexplicably that Yu Wensheng didn't seem to be angry because she made a request to him now, but rather... some joyful expectation?

She is just a small craftsman now, no official will kneel down, she stands up straight without following the rules, which is too disrespectful.

Anyway, people are here to ask for her.

I have to kneel again, this evil old society, this evil hegemony... She is indignant, because kneeling people always feel uncomfortable, so she can't be graceful, but twists her body, and she looks like a sissy knelt down.

Relying on the large number of people on her side, after being bluffed for a while, she froze again: "It's just that the general employs people. Don't you pay attention to a fair principle? I promised that if I failed, I would be responsible and punished, but in case I If I succeed, shouldn’t I be properly rewarded?”

The more I talked, the more I felt wronged.

He wouldn't plan to ask her to work for nothing, would he?
He wouldn't plan to be Huang Shiren and take her as Yang Bailao, would he?
If that's the case...then she, then she...just finish this wave and leave the job, and don't give him the opportunity to exploit him in vain.

Yu Wensheng was really amused by her "awkward" kneeling: "Then what kind of reward do you want?"

"I just want to ask for a promise from the general." Zheng Quchi said hastily.

promise?

None of Wang Zebang, Mu Ke and the others expected that she would make such a request. To say something like a promise, it can be big or small.

If you are sensible, it is best to ask for money and some practical things. If the appetite is too big, then it is estimated that even they will not be able to save her this time.

They prayed in their hearts that Sang Xuanqing would not be too greedy and not touch the general's bottom line.

The soft smile on Yu Wencheng's lips suddenly widened. Restraining his excitement, he asked in a soft voice, "What kind of promise?"

Zheng Quchi always felt that he seemed to be looking forward to her request even more now.

What are you doing?
Play fishing law enforcement ah?

But she still had to say that Zheng Quchi knew that such an opportunity was rare.

Things will change in the future, she has no great skills, except for some civil engineering construction, commonly known as infrastructure, she is just an ordinary person, apart from using this skill to stand up and speak, she really can't think of anything else A way to make others take her words seriously.

After she calmed down, she said clearly: "It's not a disaster for the family. Sang Xuanqing only wants one thing. No matter what kind of taboo I make against you, General, or what you think I have done wrong, I hope that the general will Only target me as the culprit, not my family."

Zheng Quchi knew that Yu Wensheng had been suspicious of her all this time, and this high level of vigilance could not be dispelled by her surrender, not to mention that she really had ulterior motives, and now that the secret works of the Mo family were sent to prison by her, she was not sure about them. Will she be confessed.

When the time comes, her identity will be completely exposed, how can she save her own life?

In short, if you increase the weight on yourself and then increase it until Yu Wencheng kills her heart together, you still have to seriously think about her life, whether it is refreshing to kill her, or keep it to make good use of its value.

Yu Wensheng's mood deteriorated visible to the naked eye: "You made the request only for others?"

Wei Yao and the others were completely taken off guard by her.

The promise she asked for was not for her own prosperity? !
Zheng Quchi frowned slightly, disapproving of his statement: "It's not others, they are my family."

"This general can promise you, but are you sure you want to use the promise of taking your life to protect others?"

It is said that they are family members. He is "others" and "others" at times, making it seem like he has no family members.

After Zheng Quchi had finished slandering, he imagined that maybe he could add a small additional condition, but he didn't dare to be confident, so he lowered his head and said quickly: "Of course, I can also enjoy the wages paid to craftsmen in this county. Just arrive."

Naturally, Yuwen Sheng's ear could not miss her words. He raised his eyebrows, and said in a voice that seemed to contain infinite beauty: "You only came in through the back door, and you want to get the same wages as the craftsmen in Jixia Academy?"

Pfft—a sharp knife stabs the heart.

Mu Ke lowered his head even more. He is the "back door". There is nothing more embarrassing than being pointed out by the boss as a negative teaching material in public.

Zheng Quchi swallowed a mouthful of old blood, and in order to get the treatment he deserved, he planned to reason with him and settle accounts.

"But if I use my method, how much rice can I save for the general? Xuanqing doesn't want to claim credit, the main thing is that you don't know the general, I am miserable, there is a stupid young girl in my family who needs to be treated, and there is another The lame elder brother needs to be healed, and recently a family member with an eye disease needs to be healed..."

Speaking of this, Zheng Quchi felt that he was so miserable, with tears in his eyes.

When the others heard it, they also looked at her in surprise.

What a miserable family this is!
If it weren't for Huo Yanluo who is standing here in charge at the moment, they would all want to persuade her, give it to her, give it to her.

"If I have been spending time on construction, what should they do? If I accidentally have an accident, what should they do? At least I want to earn more money during Zhengdan (Chinese New Year) to buy them something for the holidays and winter , and leave some money for them to deal with various difficulties."

Speaking of money, "Sang Xuanqing" seemed to be afraid of nothing at once. Seeing her character of desperately demanding money, Yu Wensheng suddenly thought of his wife Zheng Quchi for some reason.

She also seems to be very obsessed with money, and she did not hesitate to leave his side during the wedding period, and went to work outside to earn money.

That's what venting anger is all about.

"Oh, it's for your family again. This general feels your heart. How about this? If you die because of work, then this general will send the pension to your Sang family for you. Do you think this is the way to pay you?" How about your monthly money?"

Zheng Quchi's face froze instantly: "..."

He can't let her receive the monthly money while she is alive, so he has to wait for her to burn the paper after she dies?

At this time, Wei Yao couldn't bear it, and said a word for Zheng Quchi who looked bitter.

"General, what Sang Xuanqing said is true. I know this matter. Sang Xuanqing's family is notoriously miserable in Hegou Village. His elder brother is lame, and his younger sister is still young, but her brain is not very bright. It was burned down not long ago, and it was just repaired... If it wasn't for his livelihood, he wouldn't have found someone to go through the back door and come across to do this hard and tiring masonry job."

Zheng Quchi thought that Yu Wensheng would sympathize with her after hearing other people's evidence, so he nodded quickly.

But I didn't expect Yu Wensheng to have a heart as hard as iron, and a poisonous tongue.

He seemed to find it very interesting, and added insult to injury: "Then including you, wouldn't your family belong to the sick, weak, and handicapped?"

You don't have to... add me.

Zheng Quchi black line.

Seeing her being struck by lightning, her little black face turned even darker, and Yu Wensheng's bad taste was satisfied to a certain extent, so it was easier to talk: "Since your family is really as miserable as you said, the wages will go up. Bar."

Selling miserably has a miraculous effect.

Zheng Quchi never gave him any chance to repent, and immediately replied: "Thank you, General."

Yu Wencheng smiled and stared at her, his penetrating gaze was as unreserved as Zheng Quchi's in front of him.

"You made two requests at once, so I will also make one request... Didn't you say that you can refine a kind of steel that is stronger than iron? This general wants to witness that your steel is better than iron. Where... as long as you show your value, I don't need to worry about those things you still hide behind your back."

Zheng Quchi's heart skipped a beat.

She raised her face, but after touching his eyes, for the first time, she endured the fear and tension in her heart, and did not choose to avoid or lower her face, but to meet his eyes with all her strength.

"I didn't do anything..."

She remembered a rule of survival in the jungle. If you encounter an extremely aggressive beast, you should quickly force yourself to calm down, look into its eyes so that it cannot see your next move, and never run away in panic.

However, Yu Wencheng stared at her bulging eyes, and suddenly there was something wrong with his eyes.

He didn't pay much attention to Sang Xuanqing's appearance before, who would deliberately pay attention to a detail that could be solved at any time, but at this moment, he found that under the orange-red firelight, her facial features appeared three-dimensional, the facial contours, the pair of light brown eyes , inexplicably gave him a sense of familiarity.

Because of this inexplicable sense of familiarity, he automatically remembered what she said just now, and what Wei Yao echoed and confirmed, and then discovered a very strange and coincidental thing.

In the same family there was a lame elder brother, the same silly younger sister, and the same burned down house...

"Recently, how many families have been burned in Hegou Village?" He asked quietly.

Zheng Quchi and Wei Yao were not sure who he was asking.

So, Zheng Quchi said: "...Uh, we should be the only family."

Wei Yao also said: "Only the Sang family in Hegou Village."

Yu Wensheng continued to ask: "Sang Xuanqing, why do you keep asking about Liu Fengmian?"

When Zheng Quchi heard this, his scalp exploded.

Wang Zebang and Weiyao, the two elders, why don't they have a word of mouth, so they pass everything to the leader? !
Why inquire about "Liu Fengmian", why?Zheng Quchi couldn't think of a convincing reason for a while, so he could only "Zhi Zhi Wu Wu" for a while.

Wang Zebang was surprised, Liu Fengmian?
He remembered, isn't this the pseudonym he made up for the general when he went on a blind date?
But Liu Fengmian's name was not taken out of nowhere, there was indeed such a person, but what does this have to do with Sang Xuanqing?When she asked him about the person surnamed "Liu", he thought it was some connection or suspicious person, so he searched the camp all over.

Although Wei Yao apologized to Sang Xuanqing, he would not hide everything about her from the general, even if he really didn't want to see her being blamed and persecuted by the general.

Because Zheng Quchi groaned for a long time without a reasonable explanation, at this time Yu Wensheng's eyes were lifeless, gloomy like water.

He strode over the crowd of blocking people and walked towards Zheng Quchi.

At this time, everyone realized that something was wrong with the general, and the tense atmosphere that was about to explode almost made their hearts beat wildly. Some people wanted to persuade them, but at this moment, the evil spirit that was captured in him did not dare to make a sound.

It was Wei Yao, who wanted to dissuade him, but was kicked away by Yu Wencheng.

Wei Yao wiped the bloody froth from the corner of his mouth, and shouted anxiously: "General!"
