"Ahem! Cough! ”

In the craftsman's workshop, Old Man Xi looked at the cannon barrel made by the craftsman, touched the rifling inside, and after coughing a few times, his face was very unsightly.

"What's the matter, I can't remember 800 times of teaching? How can there be burrs on the side of the rifling of the barrel? What do you do? Can you do it? How much is a cannon tube? Don't you know how much effort it takes? I think you've had enough of your good life, right? ”

Splitting his head and covering his face was scolded, and the craftsmen on the side lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.

In addition to the muskets, the artillery of the Han army was also upgraded. The caliber is larger than the original, and the barrel is longer.

This is not as simple as casting, the hardness of the barrel should be strengthened, the rifling should be deeper, from smelting to casting, and then to grinding, if a joint is not done well, a cannon barrel will be wasted.

"Redo!"

The old man yelled again, "Ahem! Cough! If you can't do it well, you will strip off your official clothes and ask Lao Tzu for food! ”

The craftsmen lowered their eyebrows and hurriedly moved down.

In the past few days, Old Man Xi's attitude in the craftsman's workshop has been much stricter, even to the point of nitpicking.

Yesterday, at the seagoing boat workshop, a craftsman nailed the wrong nail and directly fined the month's Yu Lu, not to mention, and whipped a few times.

This was not the case before.

The old man was strict with the craftsmen, but he never punished anyone or beat anyone.

Others trembled and couldn't figure out the old man's temper, but Mao Xiang knew that the old man was really angry.

As for what kind of gas! He seems to be able to guess a little!

"Master!" Taking advantage of the fact that he was not busy, Mao Xiang said, "It's time for dinner, what are we going out to eat?" ”

"I know how to eat every day!" The old man scolded, "Just grow a heart!" ”

"I got you medicine in the morning, and I passed by the tofu stall, so what did my aunt ask you?" Mao Xiang said aggrievedly.

"Really?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Really? ”

This is not Mao Xiang's nonsense, when he came out of Liu's pharmacy in the morning, the woman chased him all the way and shouted, wanting to see the old man.

"That aunt is in a hurry, it seems that something has happened!" Mao Xiang looked at the old man's face and whispered, "The tofu stall didn't make a fire and still cry?" At that time, he held my hand, but he didn't let go and cried so much that it was scary, why do you want to see you! It seems to be bullied! ”

Well, the old man's eyebrows stood up. A murderous aura that had never been seen before shrouded his face.

"You didn't say it sooner!" The old man snorted and strode out, "Follow Lao Tzu and see who dares to bully her?" ”

At this moment, the old man has a little bit of his usual rickets, murderous like a general.

～～～～

The street was still so lively, and the food stalls were steaming and crowded.

Only the cuckoo stall is empty, and the stall is not popular and unpopular. The cuckoo squatted on the edge of the stall, muttering to herself as if she had lost her soul, and then looked left and looked at it from time to time.

The eyes were like beads with broken threads, crackling, both eyes were red, and the eyelids were swollen from crying.

"Why hasn't he come yet?"

Crying and chattering, his eyes suddenly froze. Then he went crazy and threw himself into the surprised gazes of the people on the street.

"Uncle, help me!"

"What's going on? Hurry up and speak slowly! Looking at the cuckoo who pounced and knelt at his feet and wept silently, the old man was a little panicked and anxious.

"Uncle, help me...."The cuckoo's voice was hoarse and he could barely speak.

"Let's go, talk on the side!"

There are slowly people around, and it is human nature to watch the excitement.

The old man helped the cuckoo into a big restaurant on the side and went directly to the second floor.

I didn't see the lively people who were a little unwilling, and they were full of moving forward.

"You say slowly, with me, I'm not afraid of the sky falling!" In the private room, Old Man Xi patted his chest and said.

Indeed, under Zhu Wudi's rule, even if the sky falls, as long as he is there, there is no need to be afraid of anything.

"Auntie, wipe your face!" Mao Xiang made a hot towel.

"Give it to me!" The old man took it and wiped his face for the cuckoo, "Don't worry, you say!" In this world, there is nothing I can't do! ”

"My family's ....... Nile is being tied! The cuckoo howled and cried.

The day before yesterday, when the cuckoo was closing the stall, he suddenly found that his little girl was missing. Her daughter is the most sensible, she can't run around at all, she waited in place for a long time and didn't see anyone, and then searched all over the street, desperately unable to find it.

I thought that the girl was going home, but as soon as she entered the house, two men came in with the back foot, holding the gown that Nizi was wearing and asking for money.

A gold bar, let your daughter out, don't give money, sell the child!

Hearing this, the old man hated to give himself a mouthful! The wealth is not exposed, and it is all their own money that causes trouble.

The age is alive with dogs! When someone on the street gives someone a widow and so much money, isn't that hoping for other people's eyes?

"I can't beat a woman, and I don't have any relatives at home, so I can only give them the money!" The cuckoo howled and cried, "I thought I would win if I gave the money, but I waited at home all night, and they didn't let anyone go." This morning, I was about to go out to report to the official, and I met the man again, and he said that he wanted two gold bars, or he would ........"

Crying, the cuckoo knelt down again, hugging the old man's thigh, "Uncle, I know that you are a rich man, can you help me!" Nier is my life, as long as you save Nier, I will be a cow and a horse for you in the future, and I will serve you for the rest of my life! ”

Then, lie on the ground and kowtow.

This head is knocked on the old man's heart, this hurts!

"Get up, get up!" The old man hurriedly said, "Isn't it just money?" I give, how much do I give? ”

"Really?" The cuckoo had tears in his eyes, and he saw hope in his eyes.

"I have land and money!" The old man looked at her and said, "There are also people on the ground!" As he spoke, the old man paused, "How will this money be given, will they collect it, or will you send it somewhere?" ”

"They said, bring me to pick it up in the evening!" The cuckoo sobbed, "They also said that I was not allowed to report to the official, saying that they would watch my every move, and if I dared to report to the official, they would sell my family!" ”

OK! Not a professional thief! It should be unintentional to know that the cuckoo is rich, and he made a temporary decision.

The old man's heart relaxed slightly, if he was really a professional thief who didn't show up, it would be really hard to find it in the vast sea of people!

But.......

The old man looked out of the window, maybe the thief who had tied up Nier and extorted money was in the crowd below, otherwise how could he say that he was staring at the cuckoo?

It must be down there, and the kidnapper must know the roots, know where her home is, and know that there is no one in her house.

Moreover, it should be that wherever she goes, those people will follow!

"Take the kids to the house to get money?"

"Hey, hey! It's crooked! I don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has! ”

The old man smiled hideously, "Don't cry, cuckoo, you look at me about this!" The child will get it back for you! ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Mao Xiang and said, "Go out, let the secret guard not show up first, and then find a carriage!" ”

The old man and the cuckoo entered the restaurant, and the people at the food stall had something to talk about, and they looked at it with blank eyes.

Not long after, a luxurious carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant. Then, the old man and the cuckoo got into the car and drove away in the eyes of everyone.

"Hey, that's amazing! Why is the tofu seller crying and fussing with this old man? ”

"yes, how did you get in the car and leave? This carriage looks like the land of a rich family? ”

"I can't see it, tofu Shih Tzu is climbing a high branch!"

"Don't talk nonsense, her daughter is lost, maybe she is asking someone to help find it?"

The street vendors were talking and talking, and several men in the crowd looked at each other and walked away with a smile.
