Chapter 23: Solving the Crisis

After reporting the situation to Zhang Songyu, the iron man went back to work.

After the iron guy left, Zhang Song thought about it carefully, and felt that there was nothing wrong with his plan, but he didn't know why Zhou Mingshu was not interested.

Sitting by the pool for a long time, until it was getting late, Zhang Song still didn't figure it out.

The sky was slightly dark, and the furnace of the iron-smelting yard was red and bright. The craftsmen of the ironworks were all gathered around the stove at this time, happily talking to the ironsmiths. The oppressive atmosphere that had begun today had now vanished, and the improvement of the bellows had increased the efficiency of iron smelting, and even with the addition of tasks, the craftsmen did not have to work so late as before. Today they rested early.

A great night. It would be even better if there was no harassment from Yu Xinzhi and others. Thinking of the harassment of Yu Xinzhi and others, Zhang Song has no better way to stop it for the time being.

It's just that there will be a way after all, this is Zhang Song's last thought before going to bed.

#######

The next morning, Zhang Song woke up to a noise.

When he woke up, he saw the blacksmith and other craftsmen standing in front of him, right by the pool that was still steaming. Opposite to the craftsmen such as the iron guy are Yu Xinzhi, Chen Jia and their entourage.

In the past two nights, because he was worried that Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia would attack at night, Zhang Song slept by the pool of molten iron in the company of the iron man. Because of the exhaust gas emitted from the molten iron, Zhang Song woke up a little dizzy every day.

Even so, Zhang Song understood the reason in an instant. It turned out that Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia came early this morning, wanting to arrest Zhang Song while he was not paying attention. However, the actions of Yu Xinzhi and the others were noticed by the craftsmen of the ironworks.

The improvement of the bellows made all the craftsmen in the ironworks have a good impression of Zhang Song, and Yu Xinzhi and others wanted to arrest Zhang Song and humiliate him, but the craftsmen did not agree. The craftsmen stood in front of Zhang Song and stopped Yu Xinzhi and the others from arresting Zhang Song.

"You can't arrest Zhang Jun, Zhou Jun already had an order yesterday, and you dare not listen!" The craftsman who had scolded Zhang Song stood at the forefront with the iron striker, and loudly scolded Yu Xinzhi and others.

"Fuck off! It's none of your business, you don't have to worry about it! One of the attendants scolded.

Zhang Song got up, stood by the pool, and said slowly: "Yu Xinzhi, what do you want?" Do you still want to play yesterday's play again? ”

Seeing Zhang Song wake up, Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia knew that their plan to directly arrest Zhang Song had failed, but the two of them were not discouraged, and there was still a future.

"Hey, you're in luck, boy!" Yu Xinzhi stopped his subordinates from continuing to surround Zhang Song, and said with a sneer, "Arrest all the craftsmen in the iron-smelting field!" ”

The craftsmen were blinded at once, and I don't know why Yu Xinzhi wanted to arrest them, but no one resisted for a while, and let Xinzhi's entourage tie them all up.

Zhang Song's face was gloomy, he had already guessed Yu Xinzhi's intentions, but he didn't move, because he hadn't thought of a better way yet.

"Hit! Twenty lashes each! Yu Xinzhi shouted, "Dare not listen to me, let Zhang Song be so free in the iron-smelting field!" ”

With Yu Xinzhi's order, his attendant swung his whip and whipped it at the craftsmen, and the craftsmen cried out.

"Zhang Song, are you just watching them suffer and standing there without moving?" Chen Jia shouted at Zhang Song, "They have suffered for you!" Suffer for you! ”

"Engong, leave us alone, we can withstand it." The iron guy shouted loudly.

"Can you stand it?" Yu Xin was furious, and said, "Hit me hard, see how long you can resist!" ”

"You persuade Zhang Song to come down, he is not related to him, there is no need to suffer this crime for him, as long as you let Zhang Song come down, you don't have to be beaten immediately, otherwise, you will have to be beaten every day." Chen Jia persuaded the craftsmen, and he looked like a bitter woman.

Zhang Song was tormented in his heart, and took the initiative to tie his hands and arrest him, the craftsmen should not be guilty, he will definitely suffer the kind of insult he was yesterday, if he is not arrested, it is difficult to ensure that the craftsmen will not be resentful, even if the craftsmen are not resentful, they will definitely have a reputation of being unkind and unjust. In any case, Zhang Song's purpose of staying in Qingsong Valley had to be frustrated.

The whipping continued, and finally some craftsmen couldn't resist it, and some people began to beg for mercy, but no one asked Zhang Song to restrain his hands and arrest him.

Yu Xinzhi did not stop, but continued to whip. Eventually, an emaciated craftsman fainted.

There is still no news from Zhou Mingshu's side, and no one has come.

"Yu Xinzhi, there are already craftsmen who have fainted, do you want to knock all the craftsmen unconscious? I'm stunned, and tomorrow the ironworks will be shut down. Zhang Song shouted loudly at Yu Xinzhi and the others.

"It's your fault that you're stunned, and the iron-smelting task can't be completed." Chen Jia saw that Yu Xin hesitated, and hurriedly spoke.

"The one-third of the tasks that were added yesterday were added by you privately, right?" Seeing that he had guessed the thoughts of Yu Xinzhi and the others, Zhang Song was not in a hurry, "I guess you didn't tell Zhou Mingshu now?" What do you want to do? I think you want to secretly prepare weapons to deal with Zhou Mingshu! ”

"You talk nonsense!" I was anxious.

"I'm talking nonsense, then why don't we agree to increase your tasks privately, and you have to beat up the craftsman?" Zhang Song turned his head to the craftsmen again and said, "Because you don't accept the private increase of tasks in your heart, you were beaten, right?" ”

"Yes!" Under the leadership of the iron striker, several craftsmen shouted in unison.

"Fart. How dare you slander me and smite you! "I was angry and ashamed.

"You see, because you are afraid that we will reveal your secrets, you actually want to kill people." Zhang Song looked very hateful, "You are really vicious, I will definitely report Zhou Mingshu and Li Mo truthfully if I find an opportunity." ”

Yu Xin was extremely angry, but he also knew that if Zhang Songzhen and the craftsman insisted on it, it would still bring him a lot of trouble. For a while, he didn't know what to do, so he had to order his entourage to stop beating.

Seeing that Yu Xinzhi no longer beat the craftsmen, Zhang Song finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Xinzhi and the others hadn't left yet, Chen Jia came up to Yu Xinzhi and muttered something in a low voice. After a while, Yu Xinzhi ordered the four entourages to leave.

When he looked back at Zhang Song, Yu Xinzhi's face calmed down again, and he was even a little proud.

Soon after, the four attendants returned to the ironworks, armed with a wooden barrel.

Seeing the wooden barrel, Yu Xinzhi laughed and was very proud.

"Come on, Zhang Song didn't finish eating yesterday, let the craftsmen finish eating for Zhang Song today!" Yu Xinzhi loudly ordered his attendants to shove the contents of the barrel into the mouths of the craftsmen.

The barrel was filled with filth, and in his heart it was to humiliate all the craftsmen in the ironworks.

"Stop!" Zhang Song, who was extremely angry, shouted.

"What? Can't get over it? Come to us, and I'll let them go at once. Yu Xinzhi proudly beckoned to Zhang Song.

As soon as Yu Xinzhi said this, Zhang Song calmed down again, he deliberately rubbed his legs, took two steps with difficulty, and said, "Okay, I'll come here." Oops, my leg is numb, let's give me a little help. ”

Proud, Yu Xin did not suspect that there were others, so he let his two followers go to arrest Zhang Song.

came just in time, Zhang Song saw that the two closest relatives in his heart came over, and secretly applauded in his heart.

The two attendants got closer and closer, and Zhang Song pinched the things in his hand.

Just as the two attendants arrived, Zhang Song suddenly pulled one of them towards the pool of molten iron.

The attendant was not ready for a while, and was pulled down by Zhang Song at once, fell to the pool, half of his body fell into the pool, he screamed in fright, and grabbed Zhang Song's trouser leg tightly.

When the other attendant saw this, he went to save the attendant.

"Don't move!" Zhang Song took a sharp iron weapon and put it on the neck of the attendant, "If you move, I will kill you!" ”

Behind him is the pool of molten iron, if you are not careful, you may fall into the pool, and there is a knife on your neck, the entourage really dare not move, Zhang Song is not afraid of death, he is afraid.

Zhang Song's series of actions all happened in an instant, and when the others reacted, the two attendants were controlled by Zhang Song.

"Release all the craftsmen in the ironworks, or I'll let your followers die first." If the intention is realized, Zhang Song doesn't have to worry about his heart, he laughed at his heart and Chen Jiadao.

"You dare!" Yu Xinzhi said sharply.

"What would I not dare!" Seeing that Yu Xinzhi's entourage was still pressing, Zhang Song deliberately moved to the edge of the pool and said, "I said Yu Xinzhi, you won't ignore your subordinates for your own selfishness, right?" Hey, I said, what are you people doing with your heart? It's better to take refuge in someone else. ”

Seeing that Zhang Song was facing a dilemma, and in a blink of an eye, the same problem came to his head, and Yu Xinzhi was so angry that he was spinning in place.

Zhang Song didn't want to let go of this opportunity to humiliate Yu Xin, he kept mocking Yu Xinzhi, how ugly to listen to.

The more Yu Xinzhi listened, the more angry he became, and finally he was trembling with anger: "Go up and catch Zhang Song!" I'm going to tear him to pieces! If anyone catches Zhang Song, I will be rewarded! ”

Seeing Yu Xinzhi's angry and helpless appearance, Zhang Song's mood was very comfortable, and the gloom just now was swept away.

"Come on, come on, if I fall into the pool and die, Zhou Mingshu won't let you go." Zhang Song provoked while reminding Yu Xinzhi of the consequences of doing things in his words.

"Yu Jun is angry! It's not worth being angry with a like Zhang Song. Chen Jia comforted Yu Xinzhi, and finally said softly, "If you kill Zhang Song now, I am afraid that I will be reprimanded by my wife and Zhou Mingshu, so I will be patient for a while, and when Zhou Mingshu is a good person, we can kill Zhang Song." ”

After persuading for a while, Yu Xinzhi relieved his breath.

"Let them go, let's go!"

Yu Xinzhi stared at Zhang Song fiercely for a while, turned his head and took his subordinates, and left the iron-smelting yard angrily.
