"Isn't that?"

The second sister Guan was sent home, and on the way to the mine with Tian Dayou, when he heard him say what Mrs. Liu meant, Li Xian's first reaction was that this Zhong Shangzhi was either insane, or he regarded the people of Fengtian Village as idiots.

"Mrs. Liu, there are no fools here, you better not bother, look at you as a woman, don't embarrass you. It's Master Zhong who is here, how can there be more spittle on his body, you can go quickly! ”

When the two rushed to the mine, they saw Guan Fengsheng impatiently waving his hand to Mrs. Liu, giving an ultimatum, and the surrounding villagers were also coaxing. The guards farther away were idly holding their arms to watch the excitement, Lai Yipin was dead, and Li Shi was still friendly with their boss, as long as there was no trouble in the mine, now they were all stakes.

"Turn off the stove, my mother-in-law Liu is just Master Zhong's microphone, our fellow villagers in the township, there is a little quarrel, it is all a trivial matter. Now I'm worried about you, Master Zhong is really anxious, you pushed this matter and forced him to be anxious, just raise your rent, and everyone in the village will suffer. ”

Mrs. Liu was still unwilling to persuade.

"This year's deed hasn't come to an end yet, what will he use to rise!? Do you want to send a Lai Erpin? ”

With the previous experience of solving Lai Yipin, Guan Stove became bold and spoke funny, and the miners and furnace workers laughed.

"This ...... This mountain field and your field are his, after all, he wants to embarrass you, there is always a way, hey, you just listen to my wife......"

Mrs. Liu's fat face was full of sweat, and her attitude seemed quite sincere, but she didn't want to give up. There were also several young people beside her, one of whom was the second son of the Liu family that Li Shi had seen in Liu's house before. Seeing Li Xi and Tian Dayou coming over, he pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Liu's shirt and snorted in the direction of Li Shi.

"Ouch...... Fourth brother, you are a scholar, you know the seriousness of the matter, let me tell you......"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly ran towards Li Shi, but was stopped by Li Shi waving his hand, and now he didn't want to talk to Mrs. Liu.

Walking to Guan Fengsheng's side, Li Xian looked solemn and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Guan, are you really ...... Can make cannons? ”

Guan Fengsheng gritted his teeth and nodded: "The family passed down, I helped build the Foshan Iron Yard more than ten years ago, and it was remembered by Master Zhong." ”

Li Xian gasped slightly, his future father-in-law was really a gunsmith! When Tian Dayou talked about it before, he didn't believe it yet, and he had to get confirmation from Guan Fengsheng first.

What does Zhong Shangwei want to do?

He wants Guan Fengsheng to make cannons!

Four 60-pound mountain splitting cannons will be built within two months, and if they are completed, Zhong Shangwei will write off all the debts of the villagers in the mine.

What evil intentions are hidden in this bell? They killed Lai Yipin in Fengtian Village, but he sent the business to the door? No one is so cheap, right?

That's a conspiracy, artillery is a militaristic weapon, and petty people are guilty of a capital offense. Zhong Shangwei's move not only sent Fengtian Village, but also sent himself under the guillotine, I have never seen such a stupid revenge plan.

Extraordinary things must have an extraordinary background, Guan Fengsheng's explanation made Li Xian understand a little.

"Master Zhong is the foil of Lord Bai, the chief soldier of Shaozhou, and his mine and blacksmith shop are all evenly divided with Lord Bai. I don't know much about the more specific things, but the fact that Master Zhong helped Bai Da to make a weapon is well known to the craftsmen of Yingde. ”

This Zhong is on the top, and the foundation is really not shallow, and he can actually climb Bai Zongbing to do such a taboo thing, Li Xian secretly said to himself.

Mrs. Liu jumped to the side and shouted: "Close the stove, for this difficult matter, Master Zhong has put down all the grievances of Lai Dashao, you really want to refuse him, make him anxious, don't talk about your Fengtian Village, our Liu Village will suffer together!" ”

Li Shi said in a low voice: "Looking at Mrs. Liu like this, Master Zhong is really here." ”

Guan Fengsheng shook his head: "But we really don't dare to touch ...... about this."

Li Shi frowned: "We? ”

Tian Dayou walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Your Uncle Guan can make cannons, my Uncle Tian...... can make guns, although making guns and cannons are very different, but some basic things are the same, so if you really want to make cannons, I am still your Uncle Guan's helper. ”

Li Shi opened his mouth and glared, this Tian Dayu is actually a gunsmith again! The small Fengtian Village, why are all the masters?

Tian Dayou continued: "But your Uncle Guan is right, we really don't dare to touch this matter." Jia Gouzi and Wu Shishi are very familiar to you, their fathers are also gunsmiths like us, and they have worked with us in Foshan before. Five or six years ago, it was also Master Zhong who asked them to help the previous chief soldier make guns, but when the green battalion read briefly, there were too many shotguns, and they became scapegoats. After being beaten by the board, the house was broken, and the people died of anger, but the people in the village took care of them, and the pair of boys couldn't survive at all. ”

Guan Fengsheng nodded: "So from then on, we didn't dare to be involved in this matter with Zhong Shangwei." ”

Just as he said this, the second son of the Liu family was in a hurry and came over from the village.

"My mother did have a mistake before, but you can't be blinded by this little grudge. This time, Master Zhong was really forced to be in a hurry, the matter couldn't be done, it was just a trivial matter to hand over the field under his name in our Liu Village, you Fengtian Village, this mountain farm, as long as he reported to Bai Zongrong and Li Zhixian for a miner to steal and occupy, your trouble will be boundless, the fourth brother ......"

He looked at Li Shi: "I know that you know Duan Lao Xiucai, Lai Yipin's matter, and the county magistrate has also reached out to help you." But the matter of this mine, Master Zhong really cut the flesh and stabbed it out, and Duan Lao Xiucai and Li Zhixian couldn't protect it, after all, this is a black mine, and the white contract between you and Master Zhong shouldn't have talked about mining. ”

Of course, I didn't mention it, Mr. Zhong didn't leave any horses on the deed, and the real lease or anything was only verbal, after all, it was a black mine.

"Lai Yipin's matter, listening to Master Zhong's tone, seems to be blaming himself. If you can help in this matter, even if it is to help yourself, then you and Master Zhong can have a maneuver in the matter of Lai Yipin, right? ”

The second son of the Liu family thinks clearly, is organized, and has a clear view of the stakes, which is much better than his mother who only knows how to stomp and howl.

Li Xi was a little surprised, he couldn't see that this kid still looked like a character, "You are ......"

"Liu Xingchun, there is a big brother who is angry."

This young man who was about the same age as Fan Jin arched his hand towards Li Shi, and Li Shi returned the salute, thinking that Mrs. Liu had given birth to a good son.

"Then there should be someone in the back of the clock, right?"

Li Xi didn't talk to him in detail, only glanced at the companions behind Mrs. Liu, and asked Liu Xingchun. Since Lai Yipin died, the people of Zhongfu didn't dare to come over, and the section chief and guest chief of the mine just came here to check every time, and they just slipped away.

If Zhong Shangwei only sent his own people to talk about this matter, it would definitely not be discussed, so he had to find Mrs. Liu, a Chinese person, but it was impossible for him not to let his own people live.

Liu Xingchun was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Li Xian to see things so accurately, and then nodded.

"Call him over, Guan Lutou and Tian Zhutou are here, he brings the news back, Master Zhong shouldn't embarrass your mother."

Li Shi calmly commanded, Liu Xingchun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it sounded like there was room for negotiation.

Taking advantage of Liu Xingchun's kung fu, Guan Tian and the others looked at Li Xian, and they were very puzzled: "Fourth brother, what are you planning?" ”

Although this matter is only directly related to Guan Tian and the others, it can involve the entire Fengtian Village, and Guan Fengsheng and Tian Dayou subconsciously regard Li Shi as the person who made the idea.

"The situation is not very clear now, and it is very troublesome to advance and retreat, so we have to fully understand things first."

Li Shi already believed that Master Zhong did ask for them, and this matter was not a trick set up by him. Before being in the county office, Duan Lao Xiucai said that General Bai was in trouble, otherwise Li Zhushou would not be able to make up his mind to deal with Lai Yipin. And when chatting with Xiao Sheng yesterday, he also talked about Mr. Bai's business. But there are still a lot of details to be confirmed, and you can't just take risks.

A person who seemed to be a servant of the Zhong Mansion was brought over by Liu Xingchun, and Li Shi did not discuss with Guan Tian and the others, and said directly: "The price offered by Master Zhong is too low, we want three thousand taels of silver." ”

The servant was trying to hide the disdain on his face, and when he heard this, he almost squirted: "Three thousand taels!?" Do you think it's a red-coat cannon!? ”

Li Xian frowned, forced his eyes on the servant, and snorted coldly, the man's smile disappeared, and his three fingers were still comparing to himself.

"You go back and report it! What is the rambling? ”

Li Xian waved his hand, and the servant subconsciously bent down and made a thousand, turned around and left, took two steps, and then woke up, it was just a poor and sour boy, how could he still salute him!? Thinking about how to get some face back, but after struggling for a while, he found that most of them were boring, so he had to hang his head and leave quickly.

If you ask for someone, you have to have a posture of begging for someone, Li Xian thinks so, even if Zhong Shangwei comes in person, he will not give a good face. After scolding the servant away, Li Shi turned to Guan Tian and the others.

"Let's ask for the price first, Master Zhong will definitely have to sit on the ground and repay the money, take advantage of this time, I'll go around and figure things out."

Guan Tian and the others both nodded vigorously, just now Li Shi shouted at the momentum of the servant, they couldn't learn if they wanted to, and they could only entrust the matter to Li Shi.

The first one to look for was Xiao Sheng, when they arrived at Jinshandu, Zhang Ying and Liang Deguang looked at Li Shi and wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to speak, so they watched him enter the office.

"Li Shi!? You're so ghostly! ”

Xiao Sheng looked like he had seen a ghost, holding his head and moaning, and when he saw his face clearly, Li Shi was also startled, his eyes were bloodshot, his cheeks seemed to have lost weight again, and the scars on his face looked even more hideous. Could it be that because of his sentence "The emperor has not shaved his hair today", he actually stayed awake all night?

His body twisted, as if he couldn't decide whether to avoid Li Shi or face the problem head-on, Xiao Sheng struggled for a while before finally making up his mind.

"I don't want to see you, you go!"

His decision was to escape.

How could Li Xi let him go, he walked over by himself, and suddenly smelled the pungent smell of wine, rolled his eyes, and saw several porcelain wine bottles lying on the ground.

This simple baby, look at what you have harmed him......
