Chu Miaoyin didn't stay in Lizhuang for too long, as a superintendent of the imperial history, she naturally couldn't ignore such a big case. To take care of this matter, the first thing to do is to see the corpse, after all, her understanding of this matter is also based on hearsay.

Dugu Thirteen's body was parked in a secret room in the backyard of the county government, and the room was filled with ice. There are two masters who use the Ice True Qi to take turns on duty, keeping the temperature in the room low at all times.

Chu Miaoyin has seen a lot of corpses, but it is the first time she has seen such a miserable one.

The dossier clearly records that Dugu Thirteen died of broken meridians. According to the old man who came from the capital, he had conducted an autopsy for many years, and he had never seen a person whose meridians were broken to such an extent, and he felt as if the meridians had exploded, and the whole person was killed by force. Chu Miaoyin had seen similar cases caused by going mad, which was consistent with the old man's description. As for the part of the body that was eaten by rats, it can only be said to be unlucky.

Now the question is, Dugu Thirteen Body Grand Master, is there anyone around Gao Li who has the ability to make him go crazy?

The highest cultivation level around Gao Li is Ling Long, but even Ling Long has no way to directly shatter the meridians of a person's body. Even the supreme level may not be easy to achieve, let alone under silent conditions?

Chu Miaoyin was full of doubts, but at this time, his subordinates came down to report.

Dugu Sixteen is dead!

The sixteenth prince of the king of Yannan, Dugu Sixteen, was assassinated at the inn and died a miserable death! The two guards beside him were stunned and still not sober!

Gao Li got the news that night, and it turned out to be Dong Mingcheng and Zhao Xiaoliu brothers. The two of them drank in the Qinglou until midnight, and they planned to stay overnight, but they suddenly heard that Dugu Sixteen died tragically, and when they thought of the connection between this incident and Gao Li, the two brothers rushed to come overnight, and after comforting the two brothers to leave, Gao Li knocked on Ling Long's door.

"What's going on?" asked Ling Long, who was dressed in pajamas, she had just heard Dong Mingcheng and Zhao Xiaoliu coming, but she didn't know what was going on.

"Dugu Sixteen is dead. Gao Li said.

"Dead?" Noroka stepped out of the back room.

"Well, did you do that?" asked Gao Li.

"It's not. Nonorka shook her head, "How could I possibly give you trouble at this time?"

"Then it's interesting, someone is trying to muddy the waters. "Gao Li Dao.

The death of Lonely Sixteen made Gao Li's suspicion even heavier. However, do you think that Gao Li will be so panicked that he will not be able to live all his life? That is absolutely impossible! If Gao Li was still a little worried at first, then Dugu Sixteen's death made him feel at ease, because this case almost completely cleared Gao Li's suspicion!

What criminal suspect would kill someone on the night that the sufferer came to the door? And he wanted to make such a big fuss?

Therefore, when he heard that Dugu Sixteen was dead, Gao Li slept well that night.

Early the next morning, Gao Li prepared the hut for Nonoka and headed straight for the rice fields. The bull demons have mastered the gameplay of the rice transplanter, and Gao Li has prepared three that are almost enough. After all, there are not many fields in Lizhuang, and there is no manpower to reclaim the wasteland. The water system in the south of the Yangtze River is abundant, the land is fertile, and Gao Li is not worried about the crop harvest, but the harvest of rice is average, which is far less affordable than potatoes and sweet potatoes. It seems that we will have to go back to the fire-worshipping merchant to see if there is a similar treasure.

Gao Li finally prepared a new dress for Nonoka, as a stingy person, he always felt that Nonoka's good figure was seen as his own loss. And every time he transforms into someone else, it doesn't match Nonoka's creed of living his own life, so he simply made a short trench coat for Nonoka. Put it on when you're fine, and take it off when you need to transform.

The windbreaker is made of stretch cotton blended with spider silk as a whole, woven with good lines. Slim design, good drape. A row of oversized iron clasps makes it quick to put on and take off. When Noroka got the new dress, her crescent-like eyes were full of smiles. I don't know why, Gao Li always felt like he had lost when he saw that smile. But when Nonoka put it on, Gao Li felt like he had won again. Luckily, the chest is covered with a suit-style open collar. But then again, this feeling of blocking half of it looks more exciting.

However, Nonoka wore it and took it off. Because the skin of the mobfish is very sensitive to foreign objects, she will be very uncomfortable when she wears clothes.

She can't wear it, but she can conjure it up.

A pure black leather trench coat is like the style of this trench coat, covering her body, and even conjuring up a pair of high heels, the same style as Ling Long.

Gao Li stretched out his hand and pinched the windbreaker, and exclaimed: "Sister, your ability to change is very powerful, it feels like real leather!"

Nonoka blushed, she took out the leather coat in Gao Li's hand, and said, "This is the skin of the magic fish, naturally it is the leather! Also, the skin of the magic fish has feelings......

Gao Li suddenly remembered that the skin of the demon fish was born with Nonoka's body. Isn't Gao Li's action just now like touching Nonoka's skin?

【】

The propeller shaft of the water forging machine is installed today, and Gao Li did not blindly pursue bulky all-metallization. Some antiseptic hardwoods also work well, as long as you replace the hard-wearing parts with a metal kit. It's a pity that although with the blessing of machine tools, there are no turning tools and no milling cutters, and metal processing has come to a standstill. The development of rolling bearings has not been smooth, and the materials need to be further researched. Fortunately, with the original machine tools, at least plain bearings are much easier to use than they once were.

By the river, the inlet channel of the waterwheel is blocked by the sluice, and the square timber is stuffed into the middle of the waterwheel, which is fixed at both ends, and then the metal shaft sleeve is fixed on the square wood, oiled, and the outer shaft sleeve is fixed on the wooden frame. Then the wall was built, and the entire shelf was completely fixed with large pieces of bluestone. The propeller shaft in the room is connected to several mechanisms. Finally, a large forging hammer is cast in one piece, which is annealed and softened to withstand impact. The weight of this forging hammer alone is more than two tons, and Gao Li has no way to weigh it, but looking at the counterweight volume on the hammer head, it can be estimated about the same.

The waterwheel drives the gears to lift the hammer to a height of one metre. Stuck in the wedge, the barrier disengaged with the gears. Then the wedge is wrenched, the weight of the hammer falls, and it smashes on the mold, which can form a steel sword at a time.

A group of bull demons installed and debugged in a hurry, until the evening, the forging hammer was installed.

"Open the floodgates and release the water!" Gao Li shouted.

Next to the waterwheel, a bull demon who couldn't wait for a long time opened the sluice, and the water rushed on the impeller, slowly rotating with the waterwheel, and the transmission shaft sleeve made a harsh metal friction sound. After a few moments, the run-in was complete, the sound of metal grinding was gone, and there was only the smell of rapeseed oil in the room.

"Brother, let's try the first hammer drop!" Gao Li shouted to the iron hoof that operated the gear barrier above the forging hammer.

Iron Hoof was also very nervous at this time, and his palms were sweating, and he broke the heavy barrier gate and meshed the gears. The force of the waterwheel immediately lifted the two-ton forging hammer and slowly rose.

In a moment, the hammer rises to its apex and touches the trap.

The grappling teeth grip the hammer and push the lifting gear out to prevent over-lifting.

"How?"

Iron Hoof shouted from above.

"Yes, bring the mold!" Gao Li shouted.

In fact, there is no need to shout at all, two bull demons have already arrived carrying heavy molds.

The production of the molds has long been completed, nested one by one in an impact mold made of wrought iron. In this way, even if it breaks down in the future, it will be easy to replace it with a new mold. The forming surface is steel-filled and quenched to ensure strength. The two bull demons lifted the mold and placed it on the base cast from wrought iron according to the fixed groove. Then two people lift the upper layer of the mold, and one person puts the rough blank on the lower layer of the mold and covers the upper layer.

Success or failure, in one fell swoop!

"Come on, brother!" shouted Gao Li.

"Come!" Iron Hoof pulled the safety and kicked the trap, his teeth open, and the hammer fell along the lube-coated track.

For!

There was a low thud, and a layer of dirt floated on the ground around it.

Iron Hoof re-pulled the barrier, the gear rose with a heavy hammer, and the two bull demons were about to pass immediately, but they were stopped by Gao Li.

"Brothers, there are thousands of operations, safety first, the operation is not standardized, and the head is blooming. Gao Li said.

Wait until the grappling teeth grab the hammer, and the bull demon opens the mold. In the mold, a steel sword with a raw edge is a dark red. But that straight shape used to take a long time to appear! Now, just a hammer!

"Change the mold!" Gao Li shouted.

This first hammer is only the initial forging, which is used for shaping. If you use a high-precision mold to come directly to this first time, the mold is estimated to not last three times.

There's a second hammer in the back.

The sword embryo is heated again, the burrs are removed, the oxide layer on it is scraped clean, and then placed on a high-precision mold, and another hammer is given. After this hammer, the sword bar was thrown into the water. Iron Hoof roared, "Let me go!"

Iron Hoof jumped directly from the shelf, his heavy body smashed to the ground, and without even stopping, he rushed to the bucket and took out the sword.

The quenching caused the hilt to bend slightly. However, the smooth lines and the delicate blade of the sword, which was completely different from the casting, made Iron Hoof's eyes moisten instantly.

"Brothers......

"Dude!"

A big hand and a small hand are clenched together.

"We're rich!" Iron Hoof said heavily, squeezing Gao Li's hand.

Gao Li heard his hand click.
