"I don't know what Mr. Zhao is doing for this?" Zhang Laowu, the blacksmith master of Yongxin County, asked puzzled. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This thing was made by him according to Zhao Guohua's requirements, but he couldn't see the use of this thing when he looked left and right.

Zhang Lao Wu was introduced to Zhao Guohua by Wang Zhutou, he is a famous blacksmith in Yongxin County, with excellent craftsmanship, as long as you say something, he can almost make it, because the county government has to go to Zhang Lao Wu from time to time to repair some knives and guns and make some arrows, so he knows that his craftsmanship is good.

"I'm useful, you don't need to ask." Zhao Guohua said, and then he used it satisfactorily, and the iron ball was placed on the wooden frame and shook very smoothly, so he paid the money, said goodbye to the blacksmith and returned to Mingfeng Village.

When he returned to the village, he weighed 100 grams of gunpowder, first stirred it with thin rice soup, then made it into a medicine cake, then rolled it into a pancake with a rolling pin, rubbed it by hand when it was half dry, and then used a sieve to sift the too big and too small ones and then added water to roll them into a pancake, according to the above method. The gunpowder particles that seemed to meet the requirements were collected together, and when they were not dry, they were put into the iron ball and shaken, and the iron ball also rotated rapidly.

After a while, he poured out the gunpowder particles from the iron ball, put them on the table and looked at them carefully, looking at the few gunpowder particles that had been polished, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although the amount is very small, it also has the rudiments of polishing gunpowder particles. Why did he think of using this method to polish gunpowder, because when he was thinking about the polishing method, he thought of the hand-cranked pill making machine to polish the small pills, so he asked Blacksmith Zhang to make a hand-cranked iron spherical polishing machine.

After a few days of production, he had made about 1,000 grams of granular gunpowder, just waiting for the effect of the experimental explosion.

After lunch at noon that day, Zhao Guohua was rolling gunpowder cakes with a rolling pin, and Sun Fu came in and reported, "Captain, Niu Huan and Ma Bao are back!" Waiting for you at the Brigade Headquarters. ”

"Oh, let them rest and I'll wash my hands and get over." Zhao Guohua hurriedly said.

Niu Huan and Ma Bao have been gone for more than ten days without news, Zhao Guohua was a little anxious, because there were more than a dozen captured security guards who did not know life and death, he felt ashamed of their parents, wives and children, and now that he heard that the two were back, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and he was also full of hope to find those captured security guards.

After washing his hands, Zhao Guohua came to the brigade headquarters of the security team, and as soon as he entered the door, he was startled when he saw Ma Bao's face and injured injuries, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with you two, were you discovered by bandits during reconnaissance?" ”

"Thank you for the captain's concern, my injury was caused by dodging the bear's chase." Ma Bao said.

Zhao Guohua said: "What's the matter? You two tell me what happened. ”

So Niu Huan took a sip of water and began to speak, he said: "This is the way it is........." He said it as soon as he was 1510.

"Hahahaha......" As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the room laughed, and Zhao Guohua also laughed.

After laughing, Zhao Guohua carefully asked the two of them about the place they had walked through during this time, and listened to what the minions of Qinglong Village said, and finally he was sure that the black hand behind the scenes was Qinglong Village.

"Okay, you two go down, each of you will receive five taels of silver, rest for a day, and continue to participate in training tomorrow." Zhao Guohua commanded.

"Yes! Captain! The two saluted and went out.

After the two left, Sun Fu, Sun You, Ding Shun, Chen Chong and others discussed this matter with Zhao Guohua, and after Zhao Guohua's narration and reasoning, everyone agreed with Zhao Guohua's analysis, and determined that the group of bandits who intercepted the goods and attacked the escort team were the bandits in Qinglongzhai.

Knowing the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhao Guohua began to think about rescuing the captured security guards, but thinking about it left and right, there has been no good way, just go up the mountain, the number of security teams is far less than that of Qinglongzhai, and the terrain of Qinglongzhai is dangerous, the defense is tight, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the success is not very sure, if you want to send someone up the mountain to negotiate, Qinglongzhai will definitely not admit it, think about it, and have not been able to think of a proper way.

He couldn't sleep well for several days because of this.

On this day, he was watching the team training, and Zhang Shun came over to report: "Captain, Wang Zhutou has sent someone here, and I have something to tell you......

"The king has sent someone? Could it be that he found some other clues in the county? Thinking of this, Zhao Guohua hurriedly said: "Hurry up and invite someone in!" ”

Soon, a man in his thirties walked in, dressed ordinarily, like a businessman, but with a sturdy figure and a shrewd appearance, when he saw Zhao Guohua, he bowed his hand and said loudly: "I have seen Mr. Zhao in Xia Yongxin County. ”

"Haha...... Brother Yang is polite, serve the tea, serve the good tea......" Zhao Guohua put Yang Hua in the chair and said loudly with a smile.

"Mr. Xie Zhao, I am not thirsty ......," Yang Hua excused.

"Brother Yang, don't be polite, Wang Zhutou and I are brothers, and you are brothers, why be so polite between brothers, I'll ask them to make a few dishes later, and we'll have a few drinks." Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

Seeing him so warm and polite, Yang Hua's heart was hot, and he hurriedly said, "No, no!" , Mr. Zhao, after talking about things, I have to go back to see Wang Zhutou, let's drink this wine later......"

"Well, since Brother Yang said so, let's do it next time...... Say something...... Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

After taking a sip of tea and moistening his lips, Yang Hua said: "Since I knew that Mr. Zhao's goods were robbed and the escort team was attacked, Wang Zhutou ordered us to pay attention to the words and deeds of the black and white characters in the county, and the brothers were also taken to heart after receiving the order, yesterday the two brothers patrolled the street and walked to the vicinity of Widow Liu's house in Jishio Lane, and when they heard some words, they reported to Wang Zhutou, who thought that it was related to the robbery of your goods, so he sent him down to report to Mr. ......"

Zhao Guohua's expression moved, and he asked, "What did the two brothers hear?" ”

glanced at him, saw that his expression was calm, not impatient, and admired very much, Yang Hua said, "Yang Degui's family Liu Qi has a personal affair with Widow Liu in Lane, I don't want Widow Liu and Niu Er, the thug of Yuntong Gambling House, also have a leg, yesterday Liu Qi went to find Widow Liu to have fun, and saw Niu Er in Widow Liu's house, so the two fought, Liu Qi suffered a loss, so he said that he was going to Qinglong Village in Jinggang Mountain to find someone to clean up Niu Er, Niu Er didn't believe what he said at all, thinking that he was scaring himself, in order to prove his acquaintance with the people of Qinglong Village, So Liu Qi said one thing, he said that some time ago, Steward Yang took him and Zhang Wu to Qinglong Village, and had a good relationship with several leaders of Qinglong Village...... The two brothers walked through the streets and heard these words. ”

After listening to these words, Zhao Guohua connected the events before and after, and he completely understood that this matter was done by the Yang family in collusion with Qinglongzhai, so he gratefully waved to Yang Hua and said: "Zhao Mou thanks Wang Zhutou and the county government for their help...... "Captain Zhang, you go to the finance office to get two hundred taels of silver......

Soon, Zhang Shun took two people and brought two plates of silver, ten taels and one ingot, and twenty ingots neatly placed on the plate.

Pointing to the silver on the plate, Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "Brother Yang, this is two hundred taels of silver, of which fifty taels belong to Wang Zhutou, and the rest are divided between you and the brothers, this is a little bit of Zhao's meaning, please don't shirk." ”

"This ...... This...... It's a trivial matter, how dare you accept such a big gift from Mr......." Yang Hua said with resignation.

"No more, no less, please don't be too little...... Haha......" Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

"Okay, okay...... Alas...... Mr. Zhao is so polite...... That's so kind...... Hahahaha......" Yang Hua laughed

He took the money.

After collecting the money and putting it in the blanket, and saying some gossip, Yang Hua quickly said goodbye to Zhao Guohua and Zhang Shun and went back to the county office.

Sent Yang Hua away, Zhao Guohua called Sun Laohan father and son, Cheng Chong and several squadron leaders to the team headquarters and held a meeting, I heard that it was the Yang family who colluded with Qinglongzhai to do the case, everyone was very angry, and unanimously decided to clean up the Yang family, but how to clean up the Yang family couldn't think of a good way, the Yang family lived in the county seat, and it was not possible to come hard.

"You still need to tie the bell to the bell, I think that's how it ...... done," Zhao Guohua whispered a solution.

After the meeting, Zhao Guohua sent Sun Fu and Cheng Chong to take a few people to rent a house diagonally across the door from Widow Liu's house in Jishio Lane, waiting for Liu Qi to come.

Three days later, Liu Qi came, and when Liu Qi entered Widow Liu's house, Sun Fu and Cheng Chong climbed over the wall and went in, caught Liu Qi, tied up Widow Liu and stuffed her mouth, threw her in the West House, and brought Liu Qi into the East House.

"Are you going to die or live?" Cheng Chong asked viciously, looking fierce, and at the same time flashed the cold pig-killing knife in his hand.

Looking at the terrifying pig-killing knife in Cheng Chong's hand, Liu Qi hurriedly said: "The villain is willing to live!" The villain wants to live! ”

"Whether you can live or not depends on your performance......" Sun Fu said coldly.

"If the two heroes have any orders, please say it, and the villain will do it......" Liu Qi said flatteringly.

Looking at Liu Qi's fear of death, Sun Fu said: "As long as you obediently do what we say, we won't kill you." And when he had finished speaking, he told him what he was to do.

"This ...... This ......" Liu Qi hesitated and didn't dare to agree.

Seeing this, Cheng Chong said viciously: "Forget it...... Don't let such a cowardly person kill him and find someone else. As he spoke, he grabbed Liu Qi, raised the knife, and was about to stab him in the chest and abdomen.

"Ah...... Don't kill me...... Don't kill me...... I'll do it......" Liu Qi hurriedly knelt down and begged.

For fear that Liu Qi would regret it, Sun Fu took out a pill and forcibly let him swallow it. After a while, he said coldly: "You are taking this broken intestine powder, it has been attacking since tonight, the stomach will hurt at the beginning, and it will soon start to diarrhea, and if you don't take the antidote within three days, you will break the intestine and die, you can watch it." ”

This medicine was ordered by Zhao Guohua to go to the pharmacy to dispense, and a small amount of croton and some raw rhubarb were added to it, which could not kill people, but it could make people stretch their stomachs for a few days.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Liu Qi's stomach began to hurt, and then he pulled up his stomach again, and pulled it four times in a night, after dawn, Liu Qi no longer dared to doubt what the two said, so he found an opportunity to say to Yang Rui: "Young master, someone brought a letter just now to say that the people from Qinglongzhai are waiting for you at the "Good People's Home" inn, and ask you to come over, and I have something to discuss with you."
