The Huang Family Blacksmith Shop has existed for many years.
The original boss and blacksmith was named Huang Jianqiang, and he was good at making iron tools, so even though he was in an alley, the business was still good.
Not long ago, Huang Qiangqiang fell ill and couldn't bear it. Before he passed away, he held the hand of his daughter Huang Damei and said that he wanted to pass on the blacksmith shop, otherwise he would die in peace...
Sister Huang was a filial child and agreed immediately.
Huang Jianqiang finally said: "Hit...Hit..."
After saying the same sign several times, Huang Jianqiang went.
Huang Damei was so sad that after burying her old father, she reopened the business of blacksmithing.
She originally learned from her father and started working on it. After she started working on her own, the ironware she produced was not very good. The old customers kindly reminded her that she should either find an experienced worker or... close the business!
Get married!
The best way out for a woman these days is to marry the right person.
Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat.
Men have to support the family's livelihood, while women take care of the elderly and raise children at home.
This is the current division of labor in society.
But Sister Huang refused, gritting her teeth and insisting.
Huang Qiangqiang has a brother named Huang Da. The two brothers separated after their parents passed away, and they don't have much contact with each other on weekdays.
After Huang Qiangqiang left, Huang Da also came here several times. At first, he just hinted that he would find a match for Huang Damei, and the blacksmith shop would be the reward.
Sister Huang ignored her, so Huang Da made it clear.
She is just a niece, how can she remain unmarried for the rest of her life?
Huang Da is full of confidence, no, today he is making noise again.
Sister Huang had no choice but to throw a handful of iron filings at him.
But the hidden weapon still gets in other people's faces.
This man seemed to have a bad temper, so he slapped Huang Da and knocked him unconscious.
Sister Huang was in a happy mood.
When I saw that King Wei was tall and powerful, I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart.
Huang Damei thought about the sign Huang Jianqiang used before leaving for a long time, and thought it meant recruiting a son-in-law.
A son-in-law is an incompetent man who steps in the door.
This big guy is pretty good!
From the look of his attire, he looked like he was having a hard time.
Sister Huang was tempted.
King Wei was still in shock.
——Please let me help you break your uncle's legs?
Why is this woman so wild?
"Thank you very much."
Sister Huang also felt that those words were too strong, so she quickly pretended to be a lady, and then asked: "Have you eaten yet?"
King Wei shook his head casually. He had indeed not eaten. He planned to find a place to eat after taking a walk to work up his appetite.
"You come in!"
Sister Huang waved.
At this time, Huang Da faintly woke up, jumped up and shouted: "There is an adulterer..."
King Wei was unhappy when he heard this and raised his hand.
Whoosh!
Huang Da ran away in a flash.
"Thank you very much." Huang Damei was very grateful to King Wei, "I'll cook you a meal!"
"No." King Wei shook his head.
"That means you don't give face! You look down on me!" Huang Damei didn't burst into tears, but said confidently: "I cook, and Aye said that I can go to the palace to be the royal cook."
"You..." King Wei couldn't help but smile when he thought of the food in the palace.
"If you don't believe me, just wait."
Sister Huang went to the next door to get a clay pot and put it on the heated charcoal.
It's a very simple bun, but Miss Huang's cooking is not bad.
"Give!"
Sister Huang handed a bowl to King Wei.
King Wei's brows were so furrowed that he could kill a fly, but when he sniffed it, he found it actually smelled good.
He happened to be hungry, so he took a bite.
Not bad!
There was no place to sit in the room, so King Wei was used to following Yang Xuan, so he ate while squatting.
After eating, Sister Huang was squatting across from her, looking at her happily, just like... the way he looked when he took in his first confidant in the palace.
"Is it delicious?" Sister Huang asked with a smile.
"Yes!" King Wei was a sincere man.
"After you eat my food, you can help me blacksmith, okay?"
Although King Wei was brutal in his actions, he was very reasonable in his dealings and hated those who bullied the weak.
It's not a bad thing to eat other people's food and help with work.
"good!"
Clang clang clang!
The banging sound in the blacksmith shop came again, and it was much stronger.
"here!"
"Knock it right!"
"Hey! You're actually better at knocking than me?"
"Harder!"
"The force was so great that it was flattened!"
“That’s it, that’s it, keep knocking!”
An old man passed by carrying an empty basket and took a look inside.
"Big sister!"
"Hey!" Sister Huang raised her head with the tongs in her hand, "Mr. Ma! Have you sold out all the vegetables? Business is so good today, why didn't you go get half a catty of wine and a few beans?"
The old man smiled and patted the wine gourd on his side, "Yes! What kind of milk wine? It's cheap, but you won't get drunk."
"But what those grassland merchants sell? They say even women can drink it!"
"Yes! But the taste is a bit strange."
"It's just something to make people talk, as long as it's cheap."
"Hey! Isn't that the truth? Sister! Do you have the hoe I asked you last time?"
Sister Huang lifted the clip and saw that the hoe held on it had already taken shape, "Ma Gong, take a look."
"Hey! It looks pretty good."
"How can it be false?"
"If you mess around with it, it will be ready." Ma Gong inspected it and looked at King Wei, "I want it. By the way...this is it."
"Help." Huang Damei smiled.
King Wei was silent, but his majestic body made Duke Ma couldn't help but praise: "What a majestic man. Sister, I need this helper!"
Sister Huang said proudly: "Yes!"
Magong paid the deposit, carried his burden, and staggered home humming a tune that no one could understand.
"Ben...I'm going back."
"oh!"
Sister Huang felt a little sad, "Are you coming tomorrow? I'll cook for you and you can help me with the iron."
"Look!" King Wei wanted to refuse, but after a hard fight, he found that Yu Yu's mood was much better.
"Then I'll wait for you tomorrow!"
King Wei went to look for Yang Xuan.
"You're feeling depressed, just do some work and you'll feel better?"
"Yes, your wife is a doctor. Please help me ask what is the reason for this."
"No need to ask."
"Why?"
"This is your problem with free time. Just find something to do for yourself."
King Wei looked at him, obviously not believing it.
"Do you still know medical skills?"
"Know something." Yang Xuan said: "This person has to find something for himself to do while he is alive. Look at those who have nothing to do. Most of their lives are empty. They can only go to eat, drink, whore and gamble to seek excitement.
What about you! You have been thinking about how to defeat your insidious little brother and enter the East Palace all day long.
But after thinking about it, you found out that it was just a fantasy, so you became depressed and felt that you were wasting your life, right?"
"Absurd!" King Wei said absurdly, but his feet did not move.
"Jianming went to Taiping and didn't come back, so you became lonely."
There seems to be something wrong with this!
Yang Xuan was startled and continued: "When people are bored, they will create trouble for themselves in their minds. The only way to find something to do is to find something to do for yourself. If you don't have the free time to cause trouble for yourself, you will naturally feel comfortable. Go! Go back to the state government office.
The land will be given to you."
The land in Zhousi was originally opened when Liu Qing was here to grow some vegetables.
"hehe!"
King Wei left.
"Mr. Lang."
Helian Yan is here.
"What's the matter?"
Yang Xuan asked someone to make a chair, and now he leaned back on the chair, looking as comfortable as a grown-up man.
And Helianyan was like a female steward, standing in front of him to report.
"I found someone smuggling grassland here."
"What are you smuggling?" Yang Xuan squinted.
Smuggling is something that can never be stopped, especially at the border.
The cattle and sheep of the grassland were so cheap that the merchants of Chang'an went crazy, and the furs were even more so. And the various goods of the Tang Dynasty also made the people of the grassland salivate.
It is said that as long as there is demand, there is a market, and smuggling comes into being.
"There are iron tools." He Lianyan said seriously.
Smuggling is good for anything. Boss Yang in front of him even encouraged the smuggling of luxury goods to the grasslands and Northern Liao, threatening that the more smuggled, the better. This envoy who hated tax evasion the most even said that if the amount was enough, he would give it to these trend merchants
duty free.
But ironware is different.
This thing can be used to make weapons and kill your own people.
Sure enough, Boss Yang's face darkened.
"Has it been found out?"
"No, the goods cannot be found."
"Is there any way?" Boss Yang vowed to put such crazy guys in jail and reward those criminals with green eyes.
"That man's name is Zhao Fugui. He is not a businessman from Chenzhou, so it is difficult to catch him."
"With your ruthlessness, if you were an ordinary businessman, you would have taken it down long ago."
"Mr. Sir, you are rewarded." The flirty fox said with a charming smile: "It is true that there is a background. If you take it, it will be detrimental to Mr. Lang, so I can only watch."
"What do you need?" Yang Xuan asked.
This is the attitude of making sure the case is settled.
Ever since he joined Boss Yang, He Lianyan has always wanted to make a big deal and show off his abilities.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice and said, "I want someone smart."
"Clever..." Yang Xuan barely thought about it.
"Old thief!"
An experienced group of old thieves were just there to assist.
"Where's the old thief?"
Helianyan went out to ask.
"Out of town."
"How soon will you be back?"
"I said I was teaching my disciples, but I don't know when I will be back."
"lead the way!"
He Lianyan acted vigorously and resolutely, grabbed a few sergeants to lead the way, and left Lin'an City.
…
There is now a hole on the side of a small dirt bag.
There was a dull sound coming from below.
"Look carefully, you can't go down here. Look here, the soil is floating and it will collapse if you move it. I won't discuss burying you!"
"Master, what are we doing here?"
"There is also a way among thieves. This is the teaching of the husband. I want to teach you to become a talent, but you can't dig in other people's graves, right? It's unethical! So, I found this place."
"Then what do you teach me to do?"
"Drill a hole!"
"Drill a hole?"
"Yes, our craft requires quick vision and steady hands. The most important thing is to dig holes. I want to see your qualifications. Come on, dig down from here! Hey! There is the sound of horse hooves. Hurry up.
have a look."
A head came out from under the hole, it was the old thief.
"Come up!"
Pan Zheng came up next.
Pan Duizheng was not very proud of his career in the army, and his official career was bleak. After being accepted as a disciple by an old thief, he thought he would be climbing a high tree, but who would have thought that he was actually a tomb robber.
He thought it would be better to continue working in the army, but the old thief found him as soon as he came back from Chang'an.
After some threats and inducements, Pan Zheng decisively bowed his head.
No, today the old thief took him out of the city to practice basic skills.
Pan Zheng got out and said, "I always feel a little familiar."
"Familiar with what?"
"Make a hole."
The old thief smiled obscenely, "Do you think Dadi is your wife?"
Several riders approached, led by He Lianyan.
"Hey! It's Madam Helian!" The old thief said with a smile, "But you are looking for me?"
"I'm looking for you!"
"Easy to say!" The old thief patted the dust on his body and pointed to his back. Pan Zheng went over and patted his back.
"I have something at hand, and I want you to assist me."
Later, everyone returned to the city.
He Lianyan also had a room on duty, so he went in and sat down. The old thief looked at it and thought that he would ask his husband to get one someday and put some good things passed down from his family there!
"Zhao Fugui, a businessman from Yinzhou, has an official as his backer. He travels between Yinzhou and the grassland all year round." He Lianyan sat on his knees, looking proud of his figure.
"Smuggling?" The old thief responded quickly.
He Lianyan nodded, "Someone discovered that he brought iron tools in his convoy, but when he went to trace it later, it was too late."
"Did you alarm him?"
He Lianyan nodded, "Zhao Fugui noticed it. He lives in the city and has nothing to do every day."
"This is so unscrupulous!" The old thief hadn't seen such an arrogant smuggler in a long time.
"Do you know where his goods are hidden?"
"It's just southwest of the city. His motorcade passed there last. When he showed up again, there was no iron in the car."
He Lianyan looked at the old thief, "Can you find it?"
"Before I went to see him, everything I said was just empty talk."
This attitude made Helianyan give him a high look and said, "I'll go tomorrow."
Later, Helianyan went to a reverse travel company.
Zhao Fugui looks like a wealthy man, reserved and shrewd.
"I've met Lady Helian."
Many people in the city knew that there was a foreign woman under Yang Xuan's command. Every time He Lianyan walked through the city with a charming face, she would always attract the saliva of some men.
"Let me ask you one last time, where is the iron?" He Lianyan stood upright.
Zhao Fugui's eyes turned to her body, "I don't have any iron tools."
Helianyan stared at him, "I shouldn't have come."
But you were afraid of the person behind me, so you came here.
Zhao Fugui said with a smile: "I will ask to see the envoy when I turn around, just to convey some goodwill."
He Lianyan shook his head and turned around to go out.
Jielong beside him turned around and glanced at Zhao Fugui, smiled gloomily, and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.
After leaving the reverse journey, Jie Long said: "Just check it directly. This trip made him even more proud."
He Lianyan stood at the door of Nilu and said: "I am a foreigner. Although I have taken refuge with Mr. Lang, how many people can trust us? Therefore, we must act in a systematic way and not give others excuses."
"Then what's the point of meeting him?"
"There is someone behind Zhao Fugui. I came here today to tell the person behind him that after the smuggling incident happened, Lang Jun still remembered to save face for the person behind him. But Zhao Fugui was shameless. So,
Taking him down will be justifiable."
"It's too troublesome!" Jielong felt helpless.
He Lianyan smiled, "It's more troublesome, but it's better than following the emperor's uncle!"
Jielong nodded, "When you follow the emperor's uncle, you always worry about being silenced by him one day. When you follow Lang Jun, at least you don't have to worry about this."
The next day, the old thief led his disciples out of the city.
A few miles southwest of the city, this was originally the old city, but was later destroyed by a fire.
"It's around here." He Lianyan drew an imaginary area with his hand.
"Didn't find it?"
"I searched many times but couldn't find it."
The old thief dismounted and walked over.
Being familiar with the roads, I subconsciously walked to a small mound.
There are many miscellaneous trees and shrubs on the small mound, as well as some rocks.
