"Later, Liang Cheng took the job. He was young and energetic at that time, thinking that it would benefit the country and the people to build the dam, and went with those who invited him." The old man sat down on a big stone by the side of the road.

Mo Li followed him, sat beside him, and listened carefully.

The old man continued to say.

At that time, Liang Cheng followed those people to the place where the dam was to be repaired, and the local Magistrate personally welcomed him, which made Liang Cheng grateful at that time.

Later, the Magistrate took Liang Cheng to survey the terrain, and Liang Cheng also attached great importance to it. He stayed up day and night for three days before finishing the design.

After the design was completed, Liang Cheng took the design to the local Magistrate and explained to him what materials should be used and how much was needed. Of course, Liang Cheng naturally chose the most suitable materials for the dam's firmness.

After hearing that, the Magistrate thought about it, and then said to Liang Cheng that could it work with other materials?

Hearing that, Liang Cheng refused, put away the design he drew, and said to the Magistrate that if so, he would not continue to build the dam.

When the Magistrate saw Liang Cheng's attitude, he immediately smiled and told him that it was all up to him.

Later, when the construction was commenced, Liang Cheng also spent time checking the materials which he asked to buy.

Until the dam was completed, Liang Cheng took the money he deserved from the Magistrate and left.

However, in less than two years, it was reported that the dam was washed down by the flood.

Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng whispered to himself that it was impossible... How could it be possible? There must be other problems.

After Liang Cheng got the news, he walked non-stop to the place where he built the dam.

The materials he chose and the composition of the design were all carefully considered by him. Even if the flood was heavy, it was impossible to be washed away in such a short time.

Sure enough, Liang Cheng went to look at the dam that had been destroyed and found that the materials used for the dam were different from those he had chosen.

When Liang Cheng looked at it, he became furious. So he went to find the Magistrate who received him at that time. But facing Liang Cheng's query, the Magistrate could remain calm.

Admitting to Liang Cheng, he also gave some money to Liang Cheng.

Seeing that, Liang Cheng couldn't help throwing the money in front of the Magistrate.

Then he turned and left.

On the way back, Liang Cheng saw corpses everywhere and people crying. He felt so painful that his body seemed to be torn up.

Liang Cheng felt that it was his fault which led to the poor situation.

Later, when he returned to State Sui, he set the rule that he would never help the government in his life.

"Until now, he just helped villagers to build some small things." The old man said and looked at Mo Li.

After listening, Mo Li nodded and said, "I see."

"Did Mr. Liang go to Jiandu at that time?" Then Mo Li asked the old man again.

He looked at Mo Li and said, "Yes!"

At this moment, Mo Li pondered over all the causes of the incident. No wonder when he was in the hut and just mentioned Jiandu, he found that Liang Cheng became angry immediately.

Thinking of this, Mo Li stood up, smiled at the old man and said, "I see. Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome, young man. I just told you what happened at that time and didn't help you." Then the old man waved to him.

Hearing that, Mo Li left the old man and headed for Liang Cheng's residence again.

After listening to what the old man had said, he realized that the reason why Liang Cheng refused was naturally related to what happened in those days.

Maybe at that time, the Magistrate of Jiandu wanted to embezzle public funds, so he changed the materials secretly. But once the dam was destroyed, Liang Cheng took all the responsibilities himself.

Thinking of this, Mo Li knew what to do to get Liang Cheng to agree to go with him.

At this moment, Mo Li used his legs to clamp his horse's belly and sped up to Liang Cheng's residence.

Mo Li saw the thatched cottage and Liang Cheng was watering the garden.

Mo Li jumped off the horse and walked towards Liang Cheng.

"Mr. Liang." Mo Li greeted him.

Hearing the sound, Liang Cheng looked up at Mo Li and then said, "Why are you here again? Get out!"

"Sir, I have something to tell you." Mo Li said quickly at this moment.

Liang Cheng took a look at Mo Li and then watered the garden. "If you came here for the reason like last time, you'd better leave now."

Liang Cheng poured out the remaining water in the barrel, and then carried it to the house.

Mo Li quickly said, "Sir, don't you want to benefit the people in Jiandu?"

Sure enough, Liang Cheng paused when he heard this, then went into the room and closed the door.

"Benefit the people? You officials would never think of benefiting the people, do you? It's good enough for you not to put money in your pocket. Just go!" At this time, Liang Cheng's voice came from the room.

Hearing that, Mo Li went to the door and said, "Mr. Liang, I know you hate the government because of what happened before, but not all officials are like this."

"Evil people are samely bad all over the world. No way." Liang Cheng said at this moment.

Mo Li knew that it would not be so easy for Liang Cheng to change his mind, so he said, "Mr. Liang, you can't compare Marquis with other people."

"Marquis? Which Marquis? "Liang Cheng naturally did not believe it after hearing it. The dignitary would never work in person even they went to the site. They would only tell the local government to do it for them."

At this time, Mo Li answered Liang Cheng outside the door, "It is Marquis Shuo, the son of the old General Shuo who has passed away."

"Do you mean the person who attends the disaster relief is the son of the Old General Shuo?" Hearing that, Liang Cheng then asked Mo Li.

Mo Li saw that Liang Cheng started to talk, so he added, "Sir, maybe you have heard about the flood in Jiandu, Marquis Shuo was sent by His Majesty to relieve the people in disaster. Under the guidance of His Highness, the people who have suffered from the plague in Jiandu are getting better. Besides, His Highness asked people to renovate their houses, but..."

"But what? Tell me what happened then." Mo Li just stopped talking and he did not expect that at this time Liang Cheng became worried.

At this time, Mo Li added, "There is a large population of victims in Jiandu. Soon, the disaster relief food brought before was eaten up. His Highness sent a letter to the imperial city. But His Majesty only sent 2500kg of food and one thousand taels of silver as the disaster relief fund, which was not enough at all!"

"Since the funds were not enough, why did you ask me to build the dam?" Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng then asked Mo Li.

Mo Li said at this time, "His Highness was also anxious about it. The dam needs to be repaired, and there are still many victims to be resettled. However, later, His Highness went to raise the money himself, and after the money was raised enough, he then asked me to come to find you."

"Raise money himself? Then where did he get so much money? I think he still plundered the money from people. "Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng sneered.

Mo Li quickly explained at this time, "I think you've misunderstood. Although His Highness is an official, he also does business and opens banks in various places. The money is all business profits."

"Really?" Liang Cheng asked Mo Li after listening.

Mo Li said again, "Of course. It's true."

After Mo Li said that, Liang Cheng in the room did not respond for a long time. Mo Li stood outside the door also kept silent, because he knew Liang Cheng was considering at this moment, and he would agree.

Sure enough, Liang Cheng opened the door, looked at Mo Li, and said, "I'll go, but I have a condition!"

"What's it? Just tell me, sir." Hearing Liang Cheng agree, Mo Li hurriedly asked with a smile.

At this time, Liang Cheng said, "I must be fully responsible for the materials for building the dam, otherwise it will not be negotiable!"

"Well, everything will be up to you, sir." Mo Li said quickly at this moment.

Liang Cheng asked Mo Li again, "When shall we go?"

"It's also up to you, sir." Mo Li said with a smile.

Liang Cheng glanced at Mo Li and said, "Then let's go!"

After saying that, he just went ahead.

"Well... Mr. Liang, don't you need to prepare?" Then Mo Li did not move and said to Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng just walked without looking back, and he waved to Mo Li behind him and said, "No."

Seeing that, Mo Li followed up quickly.

Considering Liang Cheng's age, Mo Li thought about buying a carriage to send Liang Cheng to Jiandu when they arrived in the town. But Liang Cheng refused immediately.

So he bought another horse. They rode a horse respectively and ran towards Jiandu!

In Witchcraft City.

When Ling Shuo arrived in Witchcraft City, he went to find the king of witchcraft.

At this time, the king was developing a witchcraft worm to control the witchcraft of the nightmare. He had tried many times but failed.

At this moment, He Yan, a disciple of the king of witchcraft, came along.

Hou Shi heard the voice and then said, "I've told you that do not disturb me when there is nothing serious."

"Master, there is a person outside holding our card and saying that he is your friend. But he looks unfamiliar, could I..." Then He Yan said.

Hearing that, Hou Shi knew that it must be Shuo Ling, and quickly said to He Yan, "Go, let him in."

He Yan replied and went out.

For a moment, Ling Shuo came in.

"Your Majesty, long time no see. How are you?" At this moment, Ling Shuo looked at Hou Shi and said.

Hou Shi smiled and said, "Marquis Shuo, nice to meet you."

"Your Majesty, do you have any idea?" Shuo Ling asked.

Hou Shi looked at Shuo Ling and shook his head. He said, "I've read many books to find a way to control the witchcraft of the nightmare, but there is no clue."

"Then there is no other way?" Upon hearing this, Ling Shuo added.

Hou Shi shook his head at this time, but for a moment he said, "It's not completely impossible, but there is a riskier method!"

"Talk about it, Your Majesty." Shuo Ling looked at Hou Shi and said.

Hou Shi thought about it and said, "Although this trick is powerful, it also has shortcomings."

"What is the shortcoming?" Upon hearing this, Ling Shuo asked.

Hou Shi said, "These days I have read the records of the previous king, and I saw that there are records about the witchcraft of the nightmare."

"What is it?" Shuo Ling asked.

Hou Shi said, "It says that although the witchcraft is powerful, it is female witchcraft, which rely on male witchcraft to survive."

"You mean to start with the male witchcraft?" Hearing that, Shuo Ling looked at Hou Shi and said.
