Chapter 1535: Old Blacksmith
"You...... Yes, you came with us? I ...... Recognize you. The servant said in a sneering voice, like a puppet whose soul has been drained.
These words dispelled the doubts of the government soldiers, and everything returned to normal.
The man in the green shirt was smiling throughout, as if he had expected the episode.
The soldiers waited for everyone to the backyard, then stopped everyone and said: "This is the residence specially arranged by the city lord, you just have to choose a room, but remember, you are not allowed to run around, your Zhao family can only stay in the backyard!"
After the warning, the government soldiers evacuated the backyard one after another, while the Zhao family was busy allocating rooms.
At the same time, the man in the green shirt took advantage of the Zhao family's inattention and broke away from the crowd early, except for the backyard, his figure shuttled around the City Lord's Mansion like a ghost.
"I didn't expect Bai Ye to move the city lord so soon, and he sent me to personally investigate the situation of the city lord's mansion, didn't he know that this was a very dangerous thing?"
The man in the green shirt sighed, but he said the word danger, but he didn't see the slightest fear on his face.
At the same time, in the Sea Dragon Gang, Bai Ye summoned Black Bear and Zhang Zhuang over and said, "Mu Bai has already entered the City Lord's Mansion, and when he gets the defense map of the City Lord's Mansion, it will be the time for us to do it!"
"Take advantage of this time, you must step up your time to train the brothers in the gang, especially those strong men who are levied from the forces of various families, and you must be even more optimistic, and you must not make trouble, if you find that someone is colluding with the family in the city, you will not be spared!"
"Yes!"
Black Bear and Zhang Zhuang left, and Bai Ye also got up and left.
Now the power of the Sea Dragon Gang has increased several times, from the previous 300 people to 800, but the only number is not enough to compete with any force in Confession City, the most important of which is the armed force.
Although there are many weapons in the Sea Dragon Gang, most of them are just ordinary knives and guns, which are used to scare ordinary people, and in the real battlefield, I am afraid it is not enough.
"Although there are only 800 soldiers, if they can be well-trained and equipped with sophisticated equipment, they can fight even in the face of ten times the enemy!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Ye decided to go to the weapons shop in the city to investigate, and if he could find a good group of blacksmiths, it would be half the battle.
Walking on the streets of Xuanguang City, Bai Ye looked around the archway, and there were many dazzling shops, but there were few weapon shops.
"It's strange, it stands to reason that there are a lot of forces in the city, and the demand for iron tools must be very huge, if it is a weapon shop, it should be very profitable, why are there so few people in this business?"
In the middle of the night, I came to a teahouse, and if I wanted to inquire about the news of the city, this was the most suitable place.
He asked Xiao Er for two pots of dragon wells and a plate of dim sum, and then asked, "Xiao Er, let me ask you something!"
Xiao Er saw that he was dressed decently, and if he wanted expensive tea, he would be a rich lord at first glance, how dare he slack off, so he nodded and asked: "Uncle, please say, the little one must know everything!"
Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction, put the two taels of silver on the table, and said, "After answering the question, this money will be rewarded to you!"
"Thank you, big brother!" Xiao Er was overjoyed, and looked at Bai Ye with a face full of enthusiasm and hurriedly asked.
Bai Ye was accustomed to seeing people with money in his eyes, so he naturally didn't take it to heart, so he asked lightly: "Let me ask you, why are there so few weapon shops in Xuanguang City?"
Xiao Er sighed and said, "Uncle, don't you know, when Xuanguang City was the smallest town in our area, most of the population was absorbed by other big cities, such as the nearest Confession City from us!"
"The population of them is more than 50 million, and there are only a few three million in Xuanguang City, the population is small, and there are fewer people with skills, and there are few blacksmiths in the city, and the major forces in the city have cultivated a lot of family members who protect the courtyard, and iron tools are also scarce in every family, and most of the blacksmiths in the city have been invited to their homes by the family, so there are naturally a lot fewer in the city!"
Bai Ye suddenly realized, but on the surface he pretended to be calm, and he asked, "Which is the best blacksmith left in the city?"
"Is the uncle going to invite the blacksmith into the house?" Xiao Er said curiously.
Bai Ye smiled faintly and said, "You just have to say it!"
Xiao Er didn't think about it, so he said: "If you want to say that the best blacksmith is naturally the old grandson in the east of the city, however, the old man has a very strange temper, and many big families want to spend a lot of money to invite him but he refuses, and the people in the city say that this old man's craftsmanship is the best in Xuanguang City, but if you want to invite him into the mansion, it is impossible!"
Bai Ye couldn't help but be very interested in this old grandson, so he asked, "Why didn't he go?
Xiao Er shook his head and said: "I can't get by with the sleeping party, are you saying that the old grandson is just an ironworker, no matter how rich he is, can he compare with the major families?
"Oh, I didn't expect there to be such a good person in this world!" Bai Ye couldn't help but look at this old grandson differently, and couldn't wait to take a look, so he got up to leave.
"Uncle, your tea!" Xiao Er shouted.
Bai Yetou didn't reply: "I'll leave it for you to drink!"
"Rich people are different!" Xiao Er sighed.
When he came to the east of the city, Bai Ye inquired all the way, and it was easy to find the shop that Xiao Er said, and walked in with his feet raised.
"Guest officer, are you going to strike iron?" a young man greeted him, and kept looking at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye smiled at him and said, "I'm not busy with iron, I want to see the old grandson!"
"See my father?" The young man frowned, his face sank, and he waved his hand and said, "If you want my father to be your guest, please go back!"
Bai Ye was not angry at this young man's rudeness, he smiled faintly and said, "You haven't listened to my words yet, how do you know that I invited your father to be a guest?"
"Then what are you going to do? Could it be that someone like you is here to build a tool for growing crops?" the young man scoffed.
Bai Ye didn't take care of him, but looked around and said, "There are some words, I need to say to Sun Lao in person, please ask him to come out!"
The young man was ignored, and he was naturally dissatisfied, but before she could leave in the night, he heard an old voice from the inner room, saying, "This gentleman, I don't know what to do with the old decay?"
