Chapter 218: Repeater
() Gu Chen left the county office, and immediately went back to the post house to get Wei Zhongxin and went to an old blacksmith shop in the city.
Wei Zhongxin took out the other half of the picture in his hand, put it together with Gu Chen's hand, and began to discuss the material.
This is a powerful crossbow that can shoot ten arrows in a row, so the material must not be bad, otherwise, it will easily fall apart.
Wei Zhongxin originally thought that Gu Chen was just an ordinary businessman, the kind of person who was stupid and had a lot of money, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that the other party was actually not completely incomprehensible.
Therefore, it is more difficult for such a lord to fool.
When Gu Chen came out of the blacksmith shop, Gu Qing didn't know where he flashed out.
Gu Chen asked, "Did you find it?" ”
Gu Qing glanced at him and said, "That half of the picture has indeed been taken by Wei Zhongxin all the time, and his subordinates have checked his details, and his background is basically true." ”
In other words, this Wei Zhongxin is indeed a good weapon maker, but he can't be sure whether the repeater is really from him.
After all, he hasn't been famous all these years.
It can even be said that he is no different from an ordinary blacksmith, if he can really draw a sample drawing, he can make a crossbow himself, as long as others see the effect of the crossbow, naturally there is no worry that someone has no money to mass produce.
After all, things used for military supplies have always cost a lot of money, and if he really has this ability, he will be famous.
It is impossible to be over thirty years old and still live like this.
It would be fine to say that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, but this man is obviously chasing fame and fortune.
"So can you find out his background? Who else was good at making weapons among those with whom he associated? The reason why Gu Chen asked Gu Qing to check was because he wasn't sure if this Wei Zhongxin was really the talented person Tang Wan said.
I'm afraid, this is just Tang Wan colluded with Wei Zhongxin to fool him.
"My subordinates have verified that this Wei Zhongxin studied under Wu Congsu, and he has studied art in the martial arts family since he was a child, and there are two senior brothers in the same family, whether it is in terms of qualifications or temperament, he is not the best among the three." Then, Gu Qing confessed the information of the other two people he had found.
Gu Chen was silent for a long time.
This Wei Zhongxin is over thirty years old but has not yet come out, if he is really talented, he almost doesn't need him to deliberately behave, and others can't help but come to the door.
But he obviously has such a good blueprint in his hand, but he has never used it to make weapons, if he is waiting for a rich man, to mass-produce, to ask for a high price, then he can make a handful first.
There is a saying that with physical objects, you can start the next business very well.
This Wei Zhongxin shouldn't be so stupid.
The only explanation, then, is that this picture may not have been drawn by him at all, and even he himself is not sure that he can make a real and powerful weapon according to the appearance of the picture.
Thinking like this, Gu Chen's face became ugly.
If this Wei Zhongxin is an impostor, then wouldn't it be in vain that he has been dismantling for so long?
As soon as he thought that he would have to deal with Tang Wan again, the breath in his heart was panicked.
"You go and find out which of the other two people has higher talent, it would be better if you could find Wu Congsu, I believe that no one knows his apprentice better than the master." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand to let Gu Qing retreat.
By the time Gu Chen returned to the inn, it was already getting dark.
Tang Wan had a very bad day, again
Hiccups and laughter are very uncomfortable.
However, Qin Niang refused to give her the antidote, she just agreed to cooperate with Song Er, but Song Er couldn't find a doctor with medical skills to prepare the antidote for her in such a short time.
Therefore, Tang Wan's sin has to be endured no matter what.
"Go pour me a glass of water!" Tang Wan pointed at Bixin and ordered.
Bi Xin just stood there, not moving, her watery eyes staring at her quietly, her eyes full of cold light.
"You, do you want to rebel?" Tang Wan roared.
"Girl, will you still let me go?" She is not stupid, Tang Wan has always been a person who does not rub sand in her eyes.
Since their master and servant have turned their faces, then Tang Wan will not let her go no matter what.
Instead of waiting until she returns to Beijing and is slaughtered, she might as well take advantage of this small place to fight for her own life.
"I can't really let someone beat you to death, can I?" Tang Wan knew that she had no one to use at this time, although she had a dislike with Bixin, but if she could coax her, at least her current situation would not be too embarrassing, as for what happened after returning to Beijing, then let's talk about it later.
"It's fine if you beat me to death, I'm afraid you'll make me worse off than dead." For Tang Wan's ruthlessness, how could she not be clear about her after following her for so many years?
Even if she did, she helped her do so much.
"So what do you want? Let's just say it. Tang Wan thought, this just wanted to negotiate conditions with her, and she would make her proud for a few days, and when she returned to Beijing, she would definitely make her look good.
How could Bixin not know what was going on in her heart?
After following her for so many years, Tang Wan's eyebrows and eyes moved, and she knew it.
Therefore, she said lightly: "I want you to release my deed." ”
Only when she let go of the deed of life can she be completely free, and when the time comes, she can go anywhere.
Even if it is a relatively hard life, it is better than following Tang Wan to be pushed out as a scapegoat one day.
She can see that Tang Wan is a person, when she wants to use you, she will be very good to you, and when the catastrophe comes, how good she was to you countless times ago, she will not hesitate to push you out.
There were so many lessons from the past, and she didn't want to follow in the footsteps of them.
"So, what can you help me with?" Tang Wan asked.
Bi Xin hooked her lips, approached her, and whispered a few words in her ear, Tang Wan's eyes immediately widened.
Approaching the Spring Festival, the snow in Yao County shows signs of melting, and every household is lit up, and there is also a little New Year's flavor.
Yang Yuanhai and his son have stayed in Yao County this year, but Gu Chen has already done everything he wants to do, and he also wants to take Qin Niang back to Beijing for the New Year.
So, before leaving Yao County, Yao County ordered a banquet in his house to practice for them.
Due to the repeated disasters in Yao County, Yao County Commander emptied his private treasury before, and the banquet he could handle was also extremely simple.
Although it is better than ordinary people, in the eyes of those who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is really much blander.
"The house doesn't have a lot of money, and if you have coarse tea and light rice, please don't dislike it." Master Yao said with a little sadness.
"Lord Yao is polite, in fact, Lord Yao's table is already very good, we don't dare to dislike it." Yang Yuanhai held the wine glass and said, "I'll give Lord Yao a glass first." ”
There were only a few of them at the dinner table, and they didn't invite any relatives and friends, only Yao Xianling accompanied them
A few of them.
In fact, everyone knows that this meal doesn't care whether it is good or not, just a heart.
They came all the way here, and it was already very good that Yao County Ling could be like this.
If he really put a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, they would have to wonder if this Yao County Order was corrupt.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, several people couldn't help but have a few melancholy.
Suddenly, a little boy who looked to be five or six years old suddenly jumped out of the inner room, hugged Yao Xianling's thigh, and called out in a milky voice: "Grandfather." ”
Yao Xianling's eyes were full of doting eyes and looked at his little grandson, reached out and touched his head, and said, "Be good, go find your mother." ”
Xiao Tong shook his head, his eyes swept over the only plate of braised pork on the dinner table, and then forcibly turned his gaze away, looked at Yao Xianling with a smile: "Grandmother asked me to restrain my grandfather and not to drink too much." ”
Yao Xianling's heart warmed, and at the same time, his eyes were red with sadness.
He has not served meat in this house for a long time, and if he didn't want to entertain distinguished guests today, he would not be willing to let people cook this dish with meat.
Everyone looked at his embarrassment in their eyes, and their hearts suddenly became sour.
Qin Niang took a pair of clean chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of meat and handed it to the little boy's mouth, and said softly: "Little brother, do you want to pay for this piece of meat?" ”
The child's eyes were round and smooth, and he obviously wanted to eat, but he didn't dare to take it easily, because his mother had explained that there were distinguished guests in the house today, and the meat should be left for the distinguished guests to eat.
"Sister gives it to you, and you take it." Yao Xian Ling said, "The elder gives it, and it is impossible to say goodbye." ”
When the child heard this, his eyes immediately lit up a little, and he opened his mouth to eat the piece of meat in one bite.
He also has a small mouth, and suddenly the piece of meat stretches his cheeks bulging, and he looks very cute.
"Alright, you can go down." Yao Xianling patted his grandson's head and sent the person away.
The boy obediently said yes, and ran away like the wind.
Yao County Ling was a little embarrassed: "The child is not sensible, I am sorry for disturbing everyone's drinking." ”
Everyone said they didn't care.
After a brief interlude, several people began to drink a few more glasses.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the inner hall, and occasionally the cry of a woman could be heard, followed by the sound of messy footsteps.
Yao Xianling frowned, and was about to ask someone to see what was going on, when he saw a mother-in-law hurriedly running out: "Master, it's not good, Young Master Sun is sick." ”
When Yao Xian Ling heard it, his face immediately changed.
He stood up suddenly, and his movements were so loud that he almost overturned the chair with emotion, and he tried his best to suppress the eagerness in his voice, and asked, "How can you be sick?" Wasn't it okay just now? ”
This is his first grandson, and nothing can go wrong.
When a few people sitting there heard this, they suddenly couldn't sit still.
Thinking that this was someone's family affair after all, and a few people were not good at disturbing others here, he got up and prepared to leave.
At this time, the mother-in-law's words made the people present unable to take a step anymore.
I heard my mother-in-law's voice say anxiously: "Young Master Sun just ate a piece of meat and was allergic. ”
When the words fell, Qin Niang's whole person was stunned.
What does that mean?
Listening to this obviously does not mean that there is a problem with the meat, but it is an allusion that she, the person who feeds the meat to the child, has a problem.
