Chapter 14: The Beginning of Trouble

Although the village that Cao Yun'e bought is a little remote, the surrounding scenery is excellent.

The village is located on the edge of the lake, and the willow trees are lined with the lake, which is in contrast to the emerald green water. There is a lake island opposite the village, and at sunset and dawn, the egrets on the continent hover in flocks, which makes people feel very relaxed.

The melodious chirping of egrets can be heard in the morning and evening, and the chirps of other nestants waiting to be fed and their parents are harmonizing, adding vitality to the tranquil lake.

Zhong Wuregret named this village "Luming Garden", Cao Yun'e also liked it when she heard it, so the three words "Luming Garden" inscribed by Cao Yun'e himself were hung at the gate of the village. If these three words are inscribed by Zhong Wuregret, I am afraid that the big teeth will often be picked up in front of the door of "Luming Garden", because he doesn't even know how to hold the brush, but fortunately, under the persecution of his father, he can also understand the thread-bound book, which is already his proud attainments among his peers.

As soon as he moved into the village, Zhong Wuregret opened up a martial arts field in the village, the courtyard is indispensable, Chu is a country that advocates bravery, there is no strong force as a backing, those tyrants and idle villains in the city will never let the "Luming Garden" be peaceful. At this point, Zhong Wuregret has long predicted, in modern society, is there less harassment by the underworld?

In the capital of Chu State, Zhong Wuregret has also seen a lot of this kind of thing in thread-bound books such as "Zuo Chuan" and "Xunzi", and he must take precautions in advance. Besides, Cao Zhuang's lesson is too profound, and he can no longer make his beloved woman worry and be afraid, let alone hurt.

Just moved here, there was still a lot of daily necessities in the village, so Zhong Wuregret personally took Lingxiang out to buy, because he wanted to familiarize himself with the situation in the county first, and he had other things to do, and he had to quietly find a place to do it in the city.

In any case, Zhong Wuregret is a well-known "lewd thief" in the Chu State, and under his fame, he is cautious and harmless. Zhong Wuregret was afraid that after entering the city, there were too many people who knew him, so he learned from the heroes in martial arts movies and made a hat with black veil on all sides and wore it.

After they left the village, the carriage had not gone far, and they saw a few open-chested and open-skinned figures sitting in the middle of the road. On the ground in front of these people, there were several bronze swords.

The coachman stopped the car, and Zhong Wuregret stepped out of the carriage without speaking, just staring at those people through the veil.

At this time, a white-faced scholar and a scholar came from a distance on the road, probably going to the lake to read or take a nap, and when they saw this situation, they also stopped.

The scholar said to the scholar with sympathy: "Those who are targeted by the Pan family must at least shed their skin." However, this family is also too ostentatious, they don't ask about the price, they will buy the village as soon as they come, such a fat sheep, the Pan family has rarely met one in a few years, this time, I am afraid it is not easy to let go. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he opened his mouth: "Look at what this is?" ”

A splash held a short knife and shook it in front of Zhong Wuregret, "Do you know what it's for?" As he spoke, he slowly cut a strip of meat from his leg.

"How much is this meat, tell me the price!" When he first arrived, his foundation was not stable, and Zhong Wuregret didn't want to cause trouble, so he asked the prankster directly, he had seen enough of such a little gangster.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't expect the other party to be so useless, and they gave in at the sight of blood.

A sloppy boy with a sword looked at Zhong Wuregret and smiled, stretching out his five fingers with his hand.

"Five copper coins? No problem, give! As he spoke, Zhong Wuregret took out five copper coins and threw them in front of the kid.

"It's going to be bad." The scholar knew at a glance that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, those few splashes were furious, pointed a knife at Zhong Wuregret and said, "If you want to entertain us, how many heads do you have?" ”

"How much do you want?" Zhong Wuregret asked again.

"I said fifty taels of silver, do you hear?" The sloppy boy with the sword yelled at Zhong Wuregret.

"Ask for a price all over the sky, sit on the ground and pay back, and tell a real number." Zhong Wuregret's face did not change, and he said calmly.

When the scholar heard this, he was very surprised, "asking for a price all over the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back" is just a few words, but it shows people's mentality of bargaining in front of interests. This is the first time he has heard of this kind of incisive words, and in his opinion, the words of the famous teachers he has read are like chaff compared with this short sentence, and he immediately became a confidant.

Which few splashes are probably the first time to meet such a character, but I don't know what to do, a few people got together to discuss it, and finally the sloppy boy with the sword came forward and said: "Five taels of silver." ”

"Smack!" Immediately five taels of silver were thrown before them.

"Get out of the way!" At the sound of the voice, the carriage had reached them, and they hastened to the side, and when the carriage had passed, they pulled the silver out of the earth into which the carriage had pressed.

"What's the spirit? And you're good-looking. The puffy bark yelled at the carriage.

"It's a few days longer, and I'll come back in a few days." After saying that, the scoundrels took the silver and left.

After purchasing the supplies needed in the village, Zhong Wuregret asked Lingxiang to go back first, saying that he wanted to look around and understand the environment of the county.

After sending Lingxiang away, Zhong Wuregret went around alone to inquire about the place where the iron was struck, and under the guidance of others, Zhong Wuregret finally found a blacksmith shop.

Looking at this blacksmith shop, Zhong Wuregret's heart suddenly became half cold, in a low and dark grass shed, a half-blind old man sat there half-ricketly, and there was only a stove and simple blacksmithing tools in the grass shed.

"If the craftsmanship is not good, don't waste your weapons, if you don't get it right, it will be bad at the critical moment." Seeing this dilapidated appearance of the blacksmith shop, Zhong Wuregret was a little discouraged.

He sighed and thought to himself: "Those people say that his skills are good, maybe it makes sense, why don't you try one or two first, it's better than nothing, and then find someone." He hesitated for a moment before pulling out the drawing of the throwing knife.

From the moment he entered the door, the old blacksmith didn't say a word to him, just leaned against the wall and took a nap, when he saw the appearance of the flying knife drawn by Zhong Wuregret, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Zhong Wuregret, that look actually contained a cold murderous aura, Zhong Wuregret couldn't help but shudder, and retreated, in nature, he was ready to fight.

"How much do you want to fight?" The old blacksmith's voice was hoarse.

"Let's take a look at one or two first. It's okay, ten more plays, and I can get more silver two, but I must try to meet my requirements! What do you think? ”

"Say!" The old blacksmith was stingy with his words.

"Before I say this, I ask the old man to promise me one thing." Zhong Wuregret said.

"Say something, and then consider whether it will be promised to you." The old blacksmith didn't look at Zhong Wuregret.

"This matter is very simple, it is the method of wrought iron that I said, and I hope that the old man will keep it a secret and not let others know." Zhong Wuregret deeply knew that smelting technology determined the quality of weapons, and he didn't want the enemy to easily obtain strong weapons.

As soon as he said this, the old blacksmith's curiosity was aroused, and he stared at Zhong Wuregret for a while before saying, "I promise you." ”

"More than 100 fires of fine iron forging, each forging is called, one forging and one light, until the tired forging does not reduce the pound, but what?" Zhong Wuregret was talking to the old blacksmith in professional terms.

At that time, charcoal was used as fuel for iron smelting, and the blower equipment was poor, so the furnace temperature was relatively low, and the iron smelted was a sponge-like solid block, which was forged into usable wrought iron. Zhong Wuregret said that the more than 100 fires of fine iron forging are in the process of forging wrought iron, constantly heating and forging more than 100 times, one forging, one weighing and one light, until the catties are not reduced, that is, hundreds of steel.

This kind of technology seems to have only appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, but Zhong Wuregret advanced it.

After listening to Zhong Wuregret's words, the old blacksmith closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and there was an irrepressible excitement, he patted his forehead, trembled and said, "Why didn't I think of it, why didn't I think of it." After that, his expression immediately perked up, and he had the intention of doing it immediately.

Zhong Wuregret's reaction to the old blacksmith is not surprising. He knew that the method he said might be an insurmountable obstacle for the blacksmith in his life.

At this time, seeing the old blacksmith's reaction, Zhong Wuregret vaguely felt that maybe he had found the right person, and the craftsman with the pursuit was the best craftsman.

The blacksmith waved his hand and said, "Go and come back in ten years." ”

"Thank you! The deposit is here. After that, Zhong Wuregret left ten taels of silver and walked out of the grass shed.

Not far away, the sound of clanging iron could be heard in the hut.

Zhong Wuregret had just returned to the "Luming Garden", Lingxiang was already waiting there, and when he saw Zhong Wuregret, he said, "Miss please, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Luming Garden" is very large, due to the small number of people, only part of the room is cleaned up, considering the safety of the problem, everyone lives more concentrated.

Zhuang Ding and the nurses lived in the compound, guarding the inner house where Cao Yun'e and other women lived.

Zhong Wuregret followed Lingxiang to Cao Yun'e's inner house.

Zhong Wuregret was very unaccustomed to this kind of "tatami" room, and he knelt down in front of Cao Yun'e.

"Where is my husband staying tonight?" Cao Yun'e asked shyly.

Zhong Wuregret understood what Cao Yun'e meant, this was exactly what he dreamed of, at an age like him, he had already "had a wild heart" and was eager to "move", so that the passion that had been held back for a long time gushed out.

However, as soon as the Cao family encountered a catastrophe, he really couldn't bear to let Cao Yun'e marry so casually. As the male host of "Luming Garden", it can be said that it is normal to stay in Cao Yun'e's room. Zhong Wuregret was worried that although no one in the manor would say anything, he would look down on their mistress in his heart.

The Cao family has been ruined, and there is no older generation to preside, but Zhong Wuregret does not want Cao Yun'e to be wronged, so he agreed with Cao Yun'e that he will worship in the "Luming Garden" seven days later, and at that time, he will have a round house with Cao Yun'e. Cao Yun'e didn't know his hard work, so she readily agreed.

In the past seven days, Zhong Wuregret seized the time to train the nursing home, and on the other hand, he arranged the organs with Tang Zhong and Wu San.

In and out of the "Luming Garden", the busiest one is Zhong Wuregret.

On the morning of the visit, Zhong Wuregret had to go out to do some errands, but the carriage had just gone out not far away, and he met a few little splashes who had been here last time sitting on the road.

Seeing Zhong Wuregret, the sloppy boy with the sword was still five fingers and one piece.

"How much?" Zhong Wuregret is also very simple.

"Fifty taels!"

"Smack!" Without saying a word, the silver was thrown on the ground, and the carriage drove away.

Coincidentally, this scene was seen by the scholar and the scholar again. The scholar shook his head: "If you blindly endure it like this, the Pan family's appetite will only get bigger and bigger, and you may even swallow the garden in the future." ”

"Little ...... Childe, do you see that the Pan family is going to take it by force, and you won't help the people in the courtyard? The clerk said.

"Don't you know, King Mu's Taishi Pan Chong was very favored by King Mu because of his meritorious service in helping King Mu ascend the throne, and the Pan family also benefited from this. It's just that every time he sues the official, he ends up ruining his family. It's not that I don't help, it's that I can't help! The scholar said.

The scholar was a little unhappy, and said: "Gongzi Lingzun is the county secretary (the official name of the Chu State), specializing in prison litigation, and when he encounters such a villain who loses the law for personal gain and plays tricky and treacherous, he is helpless, and it is no wonder that the county is in the middle of the world. ”

The scholar used the bamboo slip in his hand to touch the scholar's head, and said slightly: "What do you know? The first thing to do in prison litigation is that the victim should sue you, and if others don't sue you, why are you strong? Moreover, even if the county government's prison break is beneficial to the victims, the Pan family is not satisfied, they can directly appeal to the national division for defeat, and then hand it over to the king of Chu to decide, the king of Chu is very respectful to the prince, how do you say it will be decided in the end?

Moreover, there are a lot of customers under the Pan family, most of them are scoundrels in the market, ghosts and evil ways, which makes people unguardable. In the Pan family, there seems to be a high-ranking person to guide him, and it is difficult to get evidence of harm to the family. Therefore, most of the people in the county who were harmed by the Pan family chose to swallow their anger.

However, the owner of the house like 'Luming Garden' is too stupid, thinking that giving a little silver can avoid disaster, but as everyone knows, this is exactly the misfortune of destroying the family! ”

Speaking of this, the scholar seems to be unbearable.

The scholar thought for a while and said: "Why don't we visit the 'Luming Garden' another day, and tell them the stakes, which can be regarded as a love for the people, if he insists on going his own way, we can't do anything about it, how about it?" ”

"Okay!" The scholar had already made a friendship with him, and after thinking about it, he nodded his head and agreed, and then the two walked slowly to the lake, holding the book and working hard.

Just when the scholars were worried about the fate of the "Luming Garden", the "Luming Garden" ushered in a big day.
