Chapter Eighty-Six: A New Firebolt
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Zhou Bing just kowtowed desperately, saying that he would spare his life, Li Meng walked up to him and said coldly:
"I still have those torture tools, you can say whatever you want, or I will use them on you one by one."
Boning rulers, nose hooks, finger nails and the like, Zhou Bing has seen the benefits and disadvantages in the past, hearing Li Meng say this, his whole body suddenly trembled like chaff, these brocade guards can bully the good, if they really encounter this kind of life and death situation, they are all soft eggs, and said with a trill:
"Lin Qianhu received the silver from the Huaiyan merchant and sent someone to destroy the uncle's family business."
"You are a little flag, how do you know so many things?"
"The little one is the personal soldier who followed Lord Lin, and the last time I came, my family sent me to make a fortune......"
Hearing this, Li Meng didn't want to continue to ask, so he ordered his subordinates to lock up these fans first, and then turn around and leave, he really couldn't stand the cold weather, took two steps, and was just about to say a few words to Guo Dong, but saw that the few salters who went to the clothes had already rushed back, and everyone had a look of grief and indignation on their faces.
These salters handed the clothes to Li Meng first, and helped him put them on, and one of them said with a crying voice:
"Lord Li, both brothers have been poisoned, and it is these dogs who have done it!"
Li Meng's face was suddenly cold, and he scolded in a cold voice:
"On the battle array, life and death are commonplace, why do you want to be such a woman, it doesn't look like it."
Several salt Ding didn't dare to say more, they all cleaned up their expressions, Li Meng finished scolding, turned his head and shouted at Yan Ding, who was tying up Fanzi over there:
"Don't tie up, don't leave a single one, kill them all!!"
Since the establishment of the Yanding team, this is the first time that the manpower has been damaged, and on his own territory, Li Meng's heart is furious, these Yanding heard Li Meng's order, this time there was no hesitation, they all pulled out their waist knives, and slashed with the knife.
Those brocade guards began to say that when they were locked up, they thought that they would have a glimmer of life, although they knew that Li Meng's idea would change, so they directly ordered to cut people, and a group of people died to the end, so naturally they didn't care about anything, and scolded and shouted loudly there:
"You, a salt dealer who killed a thousand knives, killed the officials of the imperial court, you are a great crime of rebellion."
"You are going to the execution ground to cut with a thousand knives and destroy your nine clans!!"
"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost......"
Although they shouted there, the salt ding with the knife and axe did not hesitate or relent, and the order that Li Meng said must be carried out, this is already the consensus and iron law of the salt dings. After chopping melons and vegetables over there, Li Meng tied his belt, sighed, and said with the salt next to him:
"Go to the tent and get five hundred taels of silver, and send it to the family of the two dead brothers, and tell their relatives and parents that we will provide for them in the future."
Yan Ding, who received the order and heard this order, all showed a look of gratitude and respect on his face, Li Meng waved his hand, inexplicably damaged the two brothers, and was also remembered by Jinyi Wei Qianhu, which was really unpleasant.
The slashing just now, the salt Ding present was basically everyone who saw blood, but everyone was the same as the person who was fine, Guo Dong and the two Liaomin craftsmen were still standing on the side, although the fighting was also seen for the Liaomin craftsmen who were displaced, but the massacre just now still gave them a great shock in their hearts.
Several blacksmiths were pale and trembling slightly, Li Meng walked up, looked at the blacksmiths who were a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:
"Wait a minute, I'll open a note to Master Guo, go to the account room to get five hundred taels, just in a hurry, it's really thanks to a few of you, from today onwards, your monthly silver will be doubled!"
Five hundred taels and double the moon silver, this is quite a generous reward, but compared to the other party's life-saving grace to Li Meng, these silvers are nothing, but Li Meng also has the kindness of rescuing and sheltering them, and now it is the main family, and it is not easy for both parties to carry it too clearly, so it is up to the point.
Guo Dong and the blacksmiths also recovered their spirits, and after thanking Li Meng for the reward, they were about to leave, but they were stopped by Li Meng with a smile, pointing to the two firecrackers they were holding in their hands and saying:
"Didn't you come to show me this firecracker, why are you going back?"
The blacksmiths were stunned, and after reacting, they laughed, they were too thrilled, several blacksmiths were a little flustered, and when they heard Li Meng's inquiry, they hurriedly handed over the fire gun in their hands to Li Meng, and then turned around and followed the salters and ordered, "Pile up these pans on the drying field and burn them, and clean up this side", and took these entourages and blacksmiths to the other side of the house.
There are a lot of open spaces like the drying field in the manor, and the Yanding and blacksmiths behind him are all amazed in their hearts, and the blacksmiths don't need to say that although Yanding is calmly slashing, but for most people, this is just the first killing, and the shock in their hearts has not yet dissipated. But looking at Li Meng's calm conversation and laughter, it seems that there was no fighting and killing just now, but it is like he just got up, this calmness is really admirable.
Halfway along the way, Li Meng knew that when he heard the shouting of killing, the blacksmiths who returned to the manor to prepare Li Meng to send the firecrackers followed, and there were no weapons in their hands, so they simply followed out with the firecrackers, and the ammunition was readily available, but seeing that there were so many people on the other side, the two firecrackers were not of much use, so they kept following.
Until Li Meng's side led the people to rush out, Wang Baihu raised the firecracker, the blacksmiths are firing the firecracker every day, and the test data naturally knows the benefits of the firecracker, and they also know that if Li Meng is killed by the firecracker, I am afraid that this peace and prosperity will disappear immediately.
Guo Dong didn't care whether he would be implicated or not, he added it up with the firecracker, but a shot hit the target. Everyone was chatting about the thrilling time, but Li Meng stopped and asked:
"How many steps were you away from that?"
Guo Dong thought for a while, didn't dare to talk nonsense, trotted back to Fang Cai's position, walked carefully and measured, and hurriedly ran back, and said:
"Master, it's about fifty steps!"
The range of fifty steps is not surprising, the range of the original bird gun is far more than this number, looking at the fire gun in Guo Dong's hand, the barrel is more than three feet long, the barrel is two fingers thick, and it looks quite coarse. Yan Ding on the side also noticed Li Meng's gaze, and followed it, but he couldn't help laughing and jokingly:
"Even if this firearm doesn't fire ammunition, it will be very powerful to pick it up and smash people."
Everyone laughed at this joke, but Guo Dong's face was a little embarrassed, but this fire gun was also an indisputable fact, and it was worth laughing and laughing at himself:
"It's really not very flexible, if you want to be flat, you have to stand on the ground with a fork, otherwise your arms can't be held."
While speaking, another blacksmith took out a fork frame, which was an iron-clad wooden fork, and just put the fire gun between the fork frames, this style of fire gun, Li Meng really had never seen it, after the salt on the side were killed, the mood was a little excited, the appearance of this fire gun did not look good, and a thick iron rod, just about to continue joking, I heard Li Meng say:
"Go and bring the corpse of the king hundred."
Only then did everyone find that Li Meng's expression was quite serious, and everyone didn't dare to continue to laugh, and the blacksmiths were even more flustered, thinking that Li Meng was not satisfied with this firecracker.
Soon Wang Baihu's corpse was carried over, the mandarin duck battle jacket on his body had become purple and black, the mandarin duck battle jacket was a cloth cotton jacket, there was no protection, after removing the blood stain, it was found that the wound in front was not too big, it was not because the power of this fire gun was not enough, but it turned people over.
There was a shocking blood hole in the back of this corpse, and a salt man held a knife to separate the clothes of this Wang Baihu, Li Meng could see that this shot almost broke the back and internal organs of the person into a pulp, and I am afraid that the vertebrae and other bones were also shattered.
The salter dug a few times and took out the lead, which was the size of a thumb and could be called a lump of lead. The amount of charge in such a thick chamber must be not small, and when such a heavy piece of lead is punched out with this force, after hitting the human body, it is like a heavy hammer hit.
This kind of power should meet his own requirements, Li Meng's next step is to see his range, if it is only fifty steps, this troublesome way of loading, I am afraid that there is no advantage in facing bows and arrows.
It was rare that Li Meng did not immediately veto the firearm produced in the trial, Guo Dong and several companions were quite excited, came to the open space, set up the target, and began to load ammunition for test firing.
Even with Li Meng's arm strength that he exercises every day, the flat end of the gun is a little unstable, and it is necessary to use the fork frame, the ammunition is already loaded, and the primer is ignited with a fire medium, and the gun is shot out.
About sixty steps can still control the target, about ninety steps can hit the target, but don't mention the target, the target is the thick wooden door panel of the gate, the size of a cow, but every time the shot is hit, the thick wooden door panel will inevitably be penetrated.
"The firearm should be lighter, and there should be room for more power and range."
When Li Meng was pondering, he heard a commotion outside the manor, as if there were many people walking towards this side, could it be that they were enemies again?
