Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Beita Bang.

    The rats sent by the Young Masteroh no, the embankment-destroying task force discovered that digging a hole is not an easy task.

    After digging out the soft surface of the ground, the soil below became hard.

    When you go down, you can only scoop up a palm-sized piece of soil, just like using a plane to plan wood.

    "What the hell, no matter how hard you dig, you still can't find the bottom?" The sergeants dug a lot, but only the poured foundation was dug out.

    With a click, the wooden handle of one head was broken

    This group of people was at the end of their game. After digging three feet into the ground and still unable to see the edge of the foundation, they were completely discouraged.

    "These old perverts from Kunshan can lay the foundation so deeply, how can they finish it in a month?"

    "This ground seems to have been tamped"

    "I finally figured it out. The levee must have been built by the heavenly soldiers and generals with their help."

    The sergeants dropped their tools one after another and sat on the embankment in frustration, staring blankly at their blistered palms.  No matter how Wu Baihu drove around, they no longer acted recklessly like two idiots.

    "If you want to dig it out, dig it out yourself, we can't dig it out anymore" They were not just letting out anger, they really had no strength at all.

    "Get up, get up!" Wu Baihu also ran out of patience and punched and kicked his men.  "You went through so much trouble to come here and dug a hole? How can I explain it when I go back?"

    "Why don't we all blame you! If you don't take this bad job, nothing will happen to you?" The sergeants held their heads, each with a look of resentment on their face.

    "It's just that you wanted to lick the young master, but you caused us to suffer this big crime! You still have the nerve to beat and scold us? You should apologize!"

    "Are you going to rebel?!" Wu Baihu was so angry that he pulled out his sword and waved it hard.

    "Whoever disobeys and stands up, I will chop him up!"

    Who would have thought that as soon as these words came out, a dozen or so sergeants all stood up with a roar.

    The rain was so heavy and the atmosphere was very uncomfortable.

    Looking at the sergeants who were usually vying to please him, each with a fierce look in their eyes, Wu Baihu finally panicked.

    While waving the short knife, he growled in a stern voice: "Don't mess around, think about the consequences!"

    "Aren't you going to chop us up? What else is there to think about?!" The sergeants gathered around in a hurry.

    "Who dares to touch my finger and try it!"

    "Just give it a try!" Several sergeants raised their heads at the same time.

    Wu Baihu hurriedly raised his knife to block, but was hit on the wrist. He groaned in pain, folded his arms, and dropped the knife on the ground.

    The sergeants who had lost their rationality rushed forward, punched and kicked them, and vented all the negative emotions that the embankment had given them on Wu Baihu.

    By the time they stopped, Wu Baihu had been beaten until they were reduced to human form.

    "What should we do when we go back?" After calming down, the sergeants became a little scared.

    Military law is no joke. Disobeying orders and beating the superior officer is enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention the anger from the young master.

    "Let's just stop doing it!" The leading sergeants took a look at the coffin-sized pit.

    "Bury him, he will die without proof!" All the sergeants looked fiercely, and then looked at Deputy Baihu who was huddled aside.

    ¡°Obviously if they disagree, they will be buried together with him.

    ¡°Let¡¯s just say that he accidentally fell into the water and was swept away by the Wusong River.¡± Deputy Baihu could only suggest in a low voice:

    "This gives us a reason to go back What the hell are we going to do now that the leader is gone?"

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s just say that!¡±

    The sergeants scrambled to lift the unconscious Wu Baihu and threw him into the pit. Just as they were shoveling the earth to bury him, they suddenly heard a loud shout above their heads:

    "Don't move at all!"

    The sergeants looked up blankly, only to realize that they had been surrounded at some point.

    Countless Kunshan County residents stood tall on the stone embankments, earth embankments, and grate embankments on both sides, holding machetes and harpoons. Others held up stones and glared at them from above.

    The leader, a Kunshan County official, was thin, dark-faced, and looked ferocious, as if he wanted to eat people.

    "Put down your weapons and climb up one by one. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"

    The embankment-destroying team has long been demoralized. Now they are exhausted and ready to die. How can they still have the will to resist?  So they obediently followed the black-faced official's order and climbed up the embankment one by one. They were kicked to the ground by the angry people and tied up.

    It was then that they discovered that the scout who had been sent to guard the west had already arrived.So they enjoy this kind of treatment.

    Under the embankment, there were only five hundred households lying motionless in the pit.

    "Is that our Kunshan martyr?" The black-faced official quickly ordered people to carry him up the embankment. Seeing the man's miserable condition with a bruised nose and swollen face, he couldn't help but get angry and kicked the sergeant on the chest.

    "Why are you so cruel?!"

    "Beat them to death, beat them to death!" The people were also filled with indignation, punching and kicking them.

    "He is not from Kunshan, he is our leader" In the spirit of a dead Taoist friend but a poor Taoist, the sergeants sold five hundred households without hesitation.

    "What?" The black-faced official is Xiong Dianshi. After the second phase of the project started, he was still responsible for organizing and protecting transportation.

    When the typhoon came and the ship returned to port, he had nothing to do, so he took the initiative to lead people to inspect this section of the river embankment, which had special meaning to him.

    He has been working as a security guard for eighty-nine years and has developed a pair of sharp eyes. He would ask someone to bring a water bag and wash the person clean.  Seeing that he was dressed the same as the embankment thieves and wore expensive leather boots, he was obviously the leader of this group.

    "Then why do you want to kill him?" Xiong Dianshi asked in confusion.

    "In such a big typhoon day, he forced us to dig the embankment, but we couldn't dig it, so he insisted on digging" the sergeants replied aggrievedly.

    "Actually, the main reason is that we are kind-hearted and feel that it is too inhumane to dig up the embankment that your county has finally built." The hundreds of households hurriedly took over what everyone said and shied away the blame to protect themselves.

    ¡°We had a conflict with him, and that¡¯s what happened Sir, we all followed orders, we didn¡¯t know anything before we came here!¡±

    "Humph, stop talking so sweetly here." Xiong Dianshi snorted coldly and went down to the embankment to take a look in person. He saw that the newly built embankment surface had been smashed by these people and it looked miserable.

    ¡°Looking again at the coffin-sized pit next to the embankment, it was almost dug to the heel of the embankment.

    This made Xiong Dianshi, who loved the embankment more than his life, heartbroken.  With a black face, he punched and kicked the group of sergeants fiercely.

    "I told you to lie! I told you to lie! Is it because of your conscience? That's because the embankment is too strong and you can't dig it, okay?!"

    Wu Baihu had already woken up, so when he saw this, he quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be faint.

    " Unfortunately, it was useless to pretend to be faint. When the people heard that there was no good person among them, they immediately swarmed up and beat up the dike digger. Even the five hundred households who looked fainted were not spared.

    On the stone embankment, the sounds of curses, fists and kicks, screams and begging for mercy were heard in the heavy rain.
