After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Governor Qian withdrew his troops quickly.

This made Mr. Liu a little suspicious. When Governor Qian was hanging out with him, he didn't look like someone who was worried about the safety of the Third Prince.

However, the fact that Governor Qian took away Mr. Liu's 10,000 taels of silver successfully stimulated Mr. Liu.

There was a flame growing in Mr. Liu's heart, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

I have been having bad luck recently and have suffered heavy losses one after another.

He strode hurriedly towards the brothel. The only thing that could comfort him now was the account book.

Only by looking at these account books can he feel safe.

However, as soon as Mr. Liu stepped into his private box, he discovered that the account book had disappeared!

"Who stole my account book?" Mr. Liu was instantly furious, with an uncontrollable rage in his heart.

The anger spread rapidly like a raging fire.

Mr. Liu was furious. He never thought that he would be found even though his hiding place was so secretive.

It's over! It's really over now!

"Someone come! Call the Ghost Eagle to me!" Mr. Liu ordered immediately.

"Yes!"

Not long after, Guiying walked into the box. He glanced at Mr. Liu and immediately bowed respectfully, "Master."

Without saying anything, Mr. Liu stepped forward and slapped Guiying hard in the face.

"Kneel down!" His voice was filled with anger.

After being beaten, Guiying showed no emotion on his face. He lowered his eyes, suppressed the humiliation in his heart, and immediately did as he was told.

Before, Mr. Liu said that he wanted to settle the score with him, and now he is mentally prepared.

Liu Yuanwai looked down at the kneeling Ghost Eagle and angrily asked, "Who entered my room?"

Guiying was stunned. He had been guarding nearby. If someone entered Mr. Liu's room, he should know.

Suddenly, he remembered that he felt a strange aura in the room last night, but there was nothing unusual when he came in. Could it be that someone entered the room at that time?

Ghost Eagle was silent for a while, and finally replied, "I didn't notice anyone entering the room."

"Someone entered my room, and you didn't even notice?"

Mr. Liu was filled with anger. He knew the strength of Ghost Eagle and had put in a lot of effort to subdue him.

Mr. Liu could not accept such an explanation and kicked the ghost eagle in anger.

The ghost eagle was kicked and his body tilted, but he quickly stabilized his body and knelt straight again.

There was still no expression on his face.

"I asked you to guard the brothel, and now someone has broken into my room and stolen my account books, and you're completely clueless. What use am I having you for?"

"The account books were stolen?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Guiying's face. He quickly glanced at Mr. Liu and then lowered his head.

The account book records the most critical matters of Mr. Liu. Once it is stolen by outsiders, some unknown things that Mr. Liu has done may be exposed.

The moment Ghost Eagle lowered his head, the young man who saved Lord Xie suddenly appeared in his mind.

Mr. Liu kept staring at him with his eyes narrowed, not ignoring the surprise in Ghost Eagle's eyes.

He then thought of his subordinates' previous report and asked coldly:

"Why did you let Master Xie escape?"

"I didn't let Master Xie escape. Someone skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia rescued him..."

However, before he could finish his words, Mr. Liu slapped him hard in the face again. This slap was actually punctured with some internal force, and Ghost Eagle felt a sharp pain on his face.

The ghost eagle lowered his eyes and said nothing, enduring silently and letting the rusty taste spread in his mouth.

Mr. Liu's eyes grew even colder. He stared at Ghost Eagle for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "You took that man's detoxification pills. Are you trying to detoxify yourself?"

Ghost Eagle was startled, but he quickly regained his composure and replied:

"I didn't get the antidote pill. I was only focused on finding the whereabouts of the silver, and I fell into this man's trap, which gave him the opportunity to rescue Master Xie."

"Do you really think I know nothing? I know everything you do." Mr. Liu looked down at Ghost Eagle and said slowly:

"If you are determined to betray me, do you not care about your mother's safety?"

Ghost Eagle's kneeling body immediately froze, and then he said, "I dare not."

Mr. Liu sneered, turned around and returned to his seat, and then ordered: "Come here, search him."

The men standing inside the house immediately responded and began to search Ghost Eagle carefully.

After a while, the subordinate saluted Liu Yuanwai and said, "Master Liu, he doesn't have any pills on him."

Mr. Liu's brows relaxed slightly.

But his eyes were still sharp. He stared at Bai Ye and said slowly, "I remember you should take the antidote tonight, right?"

When Ghost Eagle heard this, his body trembled slightly. He lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Mr. Liu said in a calm voice, "You not only let Mr. Xie escape, but also caused my account books to be lost. I'll teach you a lesson. Reflect on this, and I'll give you the antidote after you've thought it through."

After Mr. Liu vented his anger, he calmed down. After saying this, he hurriedly left the brothel with his men. He had to arrange other people and had to get the account books back as soon as possible.

At this time in Lihua Village, Li Qingqing was leading Hu Dabao and others to build a bamboo house.

Hu Dabao and others had no idea that the more than a thousand bamboos piled on the open space were cut by themselves.

They only knew that if they didn't build the bamboo house soon, they would have to sleep in the Zhou family's yard at night.

Therefore, even without Hu Dabao's supervision, they continued to work hard.

Li Qingqing planned to build a simple bamboo house with an elevated first floor and living space on the second floor. With Zhou Yimo's drawings and Li Qingqing's occasional guidance, Hu Dabao and his team made smooth progress in building the bamboo house.

When the villagers learned that the Zhou family had hired a lot of people to work, they all came to see.

"Qingqing, what are you doing?"

"We are building bamboo houses where they can sleep at night."

"Are you recruiting female workers? I'm strong and can help with the work." A village woman asked expectantly.

Li Qingqing glanced at Hu Dabao and others, and estimated that based on the current progress, the entire construction work would take about three days.

She thought that if she could temporarily recruit some laborers to do odd jobs, she might be able to speed up the progress of the project.

Li Qingqing pondered for a moment, then said:

"We do need about ten temporary workers at the moment. Their main tasks are to help deliver materials and do some odd jobs. If you are interested, you can give it a try. As for the wages——"

Li Qingqing looked at Zhou Yimo. She was not sure how much to pay.

Zhou Yimo saw Li Qingqing looking over and understood what she meant, and immediately said:

"No food or lodging will be provided, so laborers will be paid 30 wen a day, daily. If you start now, today will be considered half a day's work. How do you think?"

Li Qingqing looked at the village woman again, then looked at the surrounding villagers and said, "If anyone is willing to join, they can sign up with my husband now."

Thirty cents is not a low wage, so the villagers are naturally willing to do it.

Soon, villagers who felt they were capable of doing the job immediately began to look for Zhou Yimo to sign up.
