Shan Li still has a lot to do next.

His men were all busy, so he returned to his room and began to write letters to His Majesty and A Ci respectively.

In addition to informing His Majesty of the progress on his side, the letter to His Majesty naturally also included relevant evidence and testimony.

In the letter to Ah Ci, he also wrote down some of his own feelings and emotions. In Ah Ci's words, this is a love letter.

The important parts are encrypted in pinyin.

By the time the letter was delivered, it was already the next morning.

As soon as he opened the door, his men told him that Chu Huaian wanted to see him.

I went along to see him.

The answer he gave did not disappoint him.

"I believe His Majesty will be very happy with the choice Lord Chu has made."

It was just one night, but Chu Huaian's energy and spirit seemed to have been drained away for decades.

He looked so haggard that he hardly resembled himself anymore.

"I hope General Shan will keep his word and spare me some suffering."

"It's natural."

Initial results were seen at Shan Li's end, but problems arose at Jinghu Reservoir.

Before the dozen or so strong men arrived, they thought digging a ditch couldn't be that tiring.

It's not like I haven't done this job before.

Working for my own family, I sometimes had to go hungry. But now, good food and drink are no problem at all.

The result was unexpected. Everything was normal at the beginning.

Although rammed earth is difficult to dig, it is not completely impossible. You just need to put in a little more effort.

As a result, after digging less than two feet, the hoe could no longer dig.

No matter what method was used, no one could dig out even a tiny bit.

Not only that, several hoes were also broken.

After a dozen people discussed it, they felt that they must have encountered some hard rock.

Later, they tried to change the location and start digging again.

The result was the same. I couldn't dig any deeper than two feet.

I tried four or five different locations, but the results were all the same. I could only dig a distance of two feet at most, and not even an inch more.

Later, someone suggested not digging here but digging on the other side. As a result, he was hit on the head.

The easy places to dig here are impossible to dig, and there is a mountain on the other side!

Haven’t you heard the story of Yugong moving the mountains?!

Can a mountain be moved simply by digging?!

Finally, these people discussed with each other and decided to continue trying to dig here. No matter what, they would wait until the master came to bring them food and drink next time and then tell him the situation.

It's not that they're lazy and don't work, it's just that this job is hard. They can't dig this area.

The strong men were talking about the legal advisor who was hurriedly following the county magistrate to move to another position.

Apart from the wealthy families who had leaked the news in advance and had already left, and the servants who had followed them to help with their work, the county magistrate did not intend to tell anyone else.

The more people affected, the more realistic it becomes.

He and his advisor, along with a group of yamen runners, went to Lao Miao Mountain to inspect the fruit trees. There were many wild fruit trees on Lao Miao Mountain. When these fruits grew, they could be considered a source of income for the county.

It was by chance that I was able to avoid this disaster.

While standing on the Lao Miao Mountain, the county magistrate and the legal advisor looked back down the mountain.

There was no trace of reluctance in his eyes, only the desire for a large sum of money to come in.

What they didn't notice was that not far away from them, Song Qingci was following behind them with Luo Li.

It's like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.
