Early in the morning of the sixteenth day of the Lunar New Year, a bottle of pills was left behind, and Chun'er set off for the West Sea. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Linyi City is happy on the surface, but in fact, the wind is surging in secret.

Shanxi

When Sun Yunzhou arrived in Shanxi, it was already the end of the New Year.

On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, he sat in a temporary house in Shanxi, looking at the map in his hand and listening to the reports of the people in front of him.

"My subordinates have already gone to the city to touch it. The operation of the railway merchants in Shanxi City is normal, and there are no new iron dealers. The man in blue stood in front of Sun Yunzhou and said.

"Outside the city, what's going on? Sun Yunzhou said, without even raising his head, and continued to look at the map in his hand.

The gray-clothed man on the side took a step forward and bowed to Sun Yunzhou: "If you go back to your lordship, your subordinates will go to investigate outside the city, as your lord expected, it is really not simple." ”

Hearing this, Sun Yunzhou raised his head and looked at the man in gray with a serious expression: "What's not simple?"

"On the outskirts of the city, at the end of last year, there were inexplicably many new iron works. The man in gray looked at Sun Yunzhou and said, "There are three more iron factories in the east, two in the southwest, and a large iron factory in the north." ”

As he spoke, the man took out a drawing from his arms, took two steps forward, walked to Sun Yunzhou's table, and presented the drawing.

Sun Yunzhou took the drawings and spread them out on the table. It was like a map, not as detailed as the map in his hand, only a hundred miles outside the city of Shanxi, and only a few concise and clear lines in the city.

It's just that the circle is drawn with vermilion ink on it.

"Your Excellency, please look at these places. The man in gray said, pointing his finger at the red circle above.

This is no ordinary iron dealer, but an iron factory. The scale of the iron works is huge, and the amount of swords made should not be underestimated, and these are still six iron works. Sun Yunzhou's face was dark.

I underestimated King Ning, and as soon as he left the capital, he dared to make such a big move.

"What about what I ordered?" Sun Yunzhou raised his head from the map and looked at the gray-clothed man in front of him. When he gave the order before, he had instructed that if he found an abnormal iron factory, he must find a way to take out the iron sample inside.

When the man in gray heard this, he took out a long piece of iron from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Sun Yunzhou.

Sun Yunzhou picked up the long iron and looked at it. This long iron is obviously a polished, pre-processed sword embryo.

Sun Yunzhou put down the sword embryo and looked at the door of the house fixedly, his eyes darkened.

"Send more men to keep an eye on these sword embryos and see where they are transported. Saying that, Sun Yunzhou paused, turned his head to look at the man in gray, and said, "You must not startle the snake." If discovered, they will be judged. ”

"Yes!" the man in gray lowered his head, his voice without hesitation.

After the two of them retreated, Sun Yunzhou stared at the map on the table for a while.

King Ning is now producing iron swords on a large scale, and there must be soldiers. I don't know where to raise the soldiers. It seems that the matter in Shanxi is much more serious than he thought.

But the matter of raising soldiers and refining swords cannot be done overnight. And the matter of spring is imminent. The beginning of spring will soon begin. Sun Yunzhou put down the map in his hand and took out a piece of paper.

The above is the information of Linyi City. There is also the deployment of Linyi City Governor and officials.

He still decided to go to Linyi City in the north first.

On the morning of the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, Zhuo Yijia got up early, and the two days were cloudy, and the snow in the courtyard had been swept away. Who expected it to be snow again last night.

Getting up early in the morning, the house that had been coaxed by the brazier all night was not warm, Zhuo Yijia walked to the window, pushed the window open, and a cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew into the house. Zhuo Yijia's blown eyes were closed, and the green silk behind him that had not yet been rolled up was blown up.

A burst of refreshment. Zhuo Yijia opened her eyes and looked at the trees in the courtyard that were covered with snow.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.

The snow is still falling, fluttering. Zhishu walked through the window and went straight into the house.

Hongshan outside heard the sound and entered the house with hot water, "Miss has to wear more clothes with the window open, it snowed heavily last night, and it was cold, so don't catch a cold." Saying that, Hong Shan put down the hot soup basin in her hand, walked to the counter and took a fox fur coat for Zhuo Yijia to put on.

Putting on the big coat, Zhishu lifted the curtain in the inner room and walked in, "Master, Beisheng has news." ”

Zhuo Yijia turned his head to look at Zhishu, and lifted the big coat that Hongshan put on his body, "Let him wait for me outside." As he spoke, he closed the window, put the big coat on his body, and went straight out of the outer room.

Hong Shan looked at Zhuo Yijia's back and frowned. I will get up and scatter my faces, and I see a man before I change my underwear, hey, really. She thought about it, and hurriedly followed Zhuo Yijia out of the outer room.

When Zhuo Yijia walked outside, Beisheng was already standing in the house. There was still snow on his head that had not had time to shake off, his ears were red from the cold, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped and bloodless, and he looked like he had been running outside all night.

"Master. Beisheng saw Zhuo Yijia and hurriedly bowed.

Zhuo Yijia walked to the main seat and sat down, and said to Hong Shan on the side: "Go and pour a cup of tea, it should be hotter." By the way, grab a hot bun in the kitchen. ”

Hong Shan looked up at Bei Sheng, who looked tired, and nodded in response, "Yes." ”

Zhuo Yijia turned his head to look at Beisheng and said, "Sit down." But found someone?"

Beisheng sat on the side, looked at Zhuo Yijia and nodded, "Found it." There is a person in the dungeon of the official mansion of Linyi City, whose body shape and posture are similar to Sun Xiangskin. ”

"Have you checked his background?" Zhuo Yijia asked, looking at Bei Sheng.

"Well, this person is a villager in Fenghuang Village outside Linyi City, and the bottom line has been figured out. ”

Zhuo Yijia listened to Beisheng say, since Beisheng said so, it shows that there is indeed no problem with this person's background.

"What crime did he commit and go to jail?"

"This person has been abusers and traffickers for many years, trafficking women into barren and backward places. They also abducted and sold children, young girls were sold to Qinglou as chicks, and young boys were sold to some people who had lost their conscience, breaking their hands and feet, and begging for a living. Bei Sheng said, his voice without a trace of emotion.

"It's not a loss to pick his face. Originally, she was still a little taboo about picking up human skin. Since it is such a scourge, it is best to kill the skin.

"I found someone, it seems that I am going to tell the prince about this. Zhuo Yijia said, turning his head to look at Beisheng.

Sun Xiang is a person who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and his words and deeds are not similar to any person. She has seen it these days, and this matter is the most suitable for the good fish around Zhao Fengyao.

The good fish is clever by nature, and what is like it. He has been with Zhao Fengyao all the year round, and he has often been in contact with Sun Xiang, and he wants to come to Zhihua before he finds someone, and there is no problem for him to practice more.
