Chapter Seventy-Three: The Secret Fold
Stone?
Song Ke's heart moved, then it would make sense if this blast furnace appeared here.
Song squatted down and picked up a stone to examine it carefully, "Although it is different from the common iron stone, the scale light on it is the same as the iron stone." ”
After speaking, he took the stone to his nose and sniffed, "It's very similar." ”
"Tianling, you should have guessed right." Song turned to look at the blast furnace, "Guard Qiao, you climb up and see what's inside the furnace." ”
"A good-looking person is in line with a word that is extremely damaging to the image of climbing." Qiao Mianzhi stroked his hair, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and found a step for himself, "Of course you have to fly." ”
With a swish, he jumped up and jumped directly onto the roof of the blast furnace.
"It's filled with stones from the ground." Qiao Mianzhi glanced inside the stove, and then said to Lord Song.
"That's it." Lord Song nodded, "The furnace with this structure is generally used for ironmaking. ”
Song pointed to a hole in the blast furnace and motioned to Qiao Mianzhi, "You go and look there again and see what is on it." ”
Then he turned his head and explained to Tianling, "That is the iron mouth of the blast furnace, and the larger one next to it is called the slag mouth, which is used for iron and slag respectively, since the stones in the furnace have not been cleaned, then there must be residues left in these two openings." ”
"We can tell if they're really making iron by the residue at the opening!" Tian Ling took Song Ke's words with a happy face, "Lord Song, you are really an old genius!" ”
"It feels like the good words coming out of your mouth sound inexplicably bad." Song Ke furrowed his eyebrows, "Don't praise me, go to the guards of Kuaqiao!" ”
"Lord Song, there is iron on this mouth!" Qiao Mianzhi said with a look of surprise.
"Pry it down and show it to me!" Song Ke's conjecture was confirmed, and he was extremely excited.
Qiao Mianzhi took out the green steel round moon knife, cut off a piece of the residual iron at the tap hole, and then returned to Lord Song and handed over the residual iron.
"You can practice such a good iron!" Song Ke's eyes lit up, "This color can be called the best grade!" Return to Beijing immediately to report to Your Majesty! ”
Tianling picked up two pieces of mica hematite from the ground and put them in Qiao Mianzhi's arms, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "Little Haijiao, help me take two pieces away." ”
Qiao Mianzhi looked at the two big stones in his hand, and regretted it a little, why was he curious about the construction of the official road at that time, why did he rush to beg to become the guard of the heavenly spirit, and be his prince of the Hou Mansion well? Gyeonggi Chief, isn't he beautiful!
"That's right! Take two more pieces. Seeing this, Song also bent down and picked up two pieces from the ground and put them in Qiao Mianzhi's arms, "Take this back to Your Majesty, and when the time comes, you will be confident with him!" ”
······
At this point, the suspicions on Mishan were gradually removed.
After going down the mountain, Song wrote a secret fold, and together with two pieces of Yunying hematite, he handed them over to two retinues to take back to Beijing.
Originally, Song wanted Qiao Mianzhi to escort Tianling back to Beijing, and Tianling personally reported the matter, firstly, he felt that since those people were eyeing Tianling, if Tianling continued to stay in Qingshui Town, there might still be danger, and secondly, this matter was very important, and Tianling personally reported it, he was more relieved.
Maybe Song didn't even notice it himself, and unconsciously, his trust in Tianling was no longer at all the same as treating normal children.
But Tianling refused, on the grounds that he was a superintendent and had to follow Lord Song.
Song couldn't see it, Tianling didn't want to put him in danger alone, there were so many iron and stones on the dense mountain, the benefits that could be brought were unimaginable, since those people dared to catch Tianling to vent their anger, who knows if those dogs who lost their conscience would not want to kill the court officials?
"Little adult, it's already been arranged." Qiao Mianzhi pushed the door and came in, and said to Tianling, who was sitting uprightly on the Luohan bed drinking tea.
"It's hard little sea pepper, come, try this." Tianling handed Qiao Mianzhi a cup, "Fruit tea made by my father-in-law." ”
Qiao Mianzhi took a sip with a strange expression, "What kind of strange taste is this, I can't get used to drinking ······"
"Humph!" Tianling snatched the cup back, "That's what you won't taste!" ”
"It's just that you don't know how to taste it." Song, who didn't know what he was fiddling with, raised his head and looked at Tianling, "So what did you arrange?" ”
"I've copied a few more copies of your secret fold and sent them out." Tianling winked at Song, "And then there's a letter I wrote to Your Majesty." ”
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to deliver it to Your Majesty?" Song looked a little nervous.
Tian Ling put down the teacup in his hand, "With the efforts of the guards, it is not that you can't even send a secret fold." ”
"Then why do you have to copy a few more copies and send them out?" Song was full of doubts.
"Do you believe it in order to practice calligraphy?" Tianling suddenly made a look of crying, "You said that my words are not as good as those of King Pingxi, I am very sad, and I am determined to write better than dogs!" This time, I was entangled in the construction of official roads with the superintendent, and I had not practiced calligraphy for a long time, so I felt guilty, so I took this opportunity to ······"
Song looked at Tianling coldly, editing, continuing to edit!
"Well, practicing calligraphy is only one of them." Tianling put away his crying for a second, "The second is to confuse those people, last night Xiao Haijiao asked the officials to disguise themselves as Gyeonggi Wei to deceive them from the top of the mountain, with their cunning, this will definitely not be able to deceive for long, so after reacting, they will definitely come back to inquire about the situation, they can find out, only the letters I copied, and the letters I copied were specially sent to them to see, what I copied is different from the content of your report, only the matter of the villagers' corpses was written, as for the iron stone, not a word was mentioned." ”
"Since they didn't destroy the cave where the iron was smelting, it proves that they were lucky, thinking that we couldn't discover the secrets of the mountain, and with their understanding of the affairs of the imperial court, they must also know that an old case can't cause any trouble with Your Majesty, then I will do as they wish, and the letter does not mention the iron and stone, so that they think that we really have not discovered the secret of the mountain, so as to dispel the panic in their hearts and buy us a little peace of time."
When Tian Ling said this, he stretched out three fingers and shook it, "The third most important thing is to let Your Majesty know that this matter is in danger!" ”
"Just imagine, when Your Majesty has just finished reading your secret fold and is in surprise and ecstasy in his heart, he receives a letter that is short of catties and short taels, and just after reading the letter that is short of catties and short taels, and receives a letter with exactly the same content, won't he feel puzzled in his heart?" Tian Ling's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, "Your Majesty, the dragon and phoenix are extremely smart, and you won't need to be reminded to think of it, this extra is a strategy that we are afraid of being forced to come up with." ”
"At this time, I will send another letter explaining the situation to Your Majesty, telling him what kind of ordeal we have gone through, what kind of life we have died, and then for the sake of Your Majesty's great cause, we will die without regrets." Tianling looked at Song Ke with a smile, "Did you say that he immediately agreed to my small request in the last letter without hesitation?" ”
