Dissolved iron?

Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment, and remembered the maltose sent by her brother before, and the things wrapped in the wax ball inside.

She rummaged through her purse, took out the small black stone from it, and handed it to the old man, "Look what this thing is?" ”

The old man took it, looked at the firelight, and said, "Isn't this just a small iron ore, it's all over the ground, just pick it up." ”

Iron ore, I used to say that this is here!

Zhuang Rou glanced around and asked, "How many of you still have it, I am here to save you." ”

When they heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and quickly pointed to the houses and said, "My lord, these are all craftsmen who have been deceived, and a few young people came a few days ago, and they were beaten and thrown into the house because they were disobedient. ”

"There are still half of the people in the workshop, and we can only rest for two hours a day, but we can't stop the fire and building. If something big happens, you have to keep working. ”

Zhuang Rou knew what they meant, originally she just wanted to take the people she met away, but now she didn't think so. If this is his brother's iron ore, he doesn't have to give himself such a hidden hint, he should want to find out here by himself.

These mine guards are not good people, they don't let people go home for five years, and they rob people and traffickers and do all kinds of evil. Listening to their tone, it seems that some people have been exhausted to death, and their bones have been thrown away. This kind of beastly behavior of the mine is definitely not the work of my brother.

That...... Just destroy this place, my brother should be happy, right?

The workshop was a little far from here, in the middle of the valley, Zhuang Rou said to the two old men: "I'll go and get rid of the other guards, you are more familiar with this place than I am, go and call out all the people who are not watching." Don't go to a place with light and a lot of people, find a mine to hide. ”

"There are people over there who are dealing with the people in the small building, and they have already killed a lot, so be careful that the sword will have no eyes when the time comes. You still take someone to find a small mine, and wait for the outside to calm down before you come out and run for your life, be careful now. ”

Zhuang Rou didn't dare to let them stay here, it was too close to Xiaolou, and people like the Mu family might do it when they saw these old people.

The two old men were not stupid, and they knew that if the government suspected that they were guards, it would be troublesome. At this time, kill a few people, just push it directly on the gangsters, it's better to be careful.

"Okay, my lord, then we'll go find someone and hide it right away." They hurriedly said.

Zhuang Rou nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, when she suddenly remembered something, "What are you building day and night?" ”

The old man replied, "Weapons, scales and armor are also available." ”

"Oh......" Zhuang Rou was secretly surprised that it turned out to be a weapon. These old men have been working for at least five years, guarding such a large iron mine, how many weapons do they have to fight?

She didn't believe it at all, so many weapons were sold to the imperial court. The mines of Dahao Kingdom are all owned by the imperial court, especially the iron ore, which is an armament mine, which is strictly controlled.

This case is so big, even if the Mu clan kills Zhou Zhongren and them, King An has no way to deal with him.

On the contrary, the imperial court also wanted to reward the Mu family, which was a great contribution to his work. is worthy of being the second-ranked person, and it is so big to come out casually to handle cases.

Then the old man said, "But it is a delicate work, and it is worn and woven by the abducted woman." The young girls are all locked up in the Joy Building, and they are all poor people, and I hope the adults will let us take them with us. ”

He made a point of mentioning the women, who suffered more here than the men. If you don't save it, it's really pitiful.

How could Zhuang Rou disagree with this kind of thing, she ordered: "Of course, isn't it to build weapons?" Take some for self-defense first, and then hand them over when the government comes, but don't turn yourself into a bandit. ”

Huanxilou's words Fan Liye has passed, and I don't know if he can be relied on. But even if he failed, he was the only one who was killed, and those girls had nothing to do with him, and the guards were reluctant to kill them.

Thinking of this, she pulled out the iron rod behind her waist, pointed in the direction leading to the workshop, and said to the two, "I'll go over and clear the road first, and you all take everyone out and hide in the mine." ”

"Thank you, sir, you are alone." The old man hurriedly thanked him, but he was a little strange, why hadn't he seen anyone from other government offices.

Zhuang Rou asked him to be careful, the Mu clan will be here soon, "You guys move fast, there are murderous guys over there, maybe they will come over soon." ”

The two of them were suddenly anxious, and finally looked forward to the day when they could go home, and no one wanted to lose their lives in vain at this time. So he hurriedly ran to knock on the door and called out the other craftsmen to flee for their lives.

Seeing that they were busy, Zhuang Rou went to the workshop.

The commotion here still affected the coolies, and some of them made a noise with the movement, and the guards pumped a few rattans.

They are very accustomed to this kind of situation where people occasionally break into here, and they have been guarding their own places, and because the Mu family killed some guards casually, Xiaolou attracted the surrounding guards to the past.

And this side is farther away, and even if the sky falls, the blacksmiths will not dare to stop and not strike iron. The bellows here are whirring, the sound of striking iron is constant, and the dry is in full swing, but I didn't hear the movement on the side of the small building.

As long as no one broke into this side, the guards had to keep an eye on the blacksmiths to see if anyone dared to be lazy, and they would whip them with rattans.

There were more than forty guards on the side of the workshop, almost one person in ten steps, and it was the most guarded place in the entire valley.

Blacksmiths are strong men, and they can't beat iron until they are fed, and weapons and hammers are all over the ground, and if they have the heart to resist, it will be very troublesome to make trouble with the guys at hand.

Therefore, there are the most guards here, and in addition to honestly beating iron ore and dissolving iron ore, even if they go to the latrine, there are two people staring at each other.

They can only be free when they put down what they are holding and leave the workshop and go back to the house to rest.

Zhuang Rou looked at the large number of guards, turned around and looked at the small building, feeling as if he had finished killing. But there is no trace of destruction on the second floor, and maybe the beard can last a little longer.

It didn't matter over there, she looked at the guard, there were more than forty people, one person and one arrow was just about the same. But they're not stakes, and they can still stand there and let her shoot.

At this time, Zhuang Rou saw a blacksmith in his thirties and forties come out, and he didn't know what to say to the guards, so he was accompanied by two guards and walked behind.

I don't know what they're going to do, but it's an opportunity to kill the two and contact the craftsman.

She wanted the artisans to rebel so she could distract the guards and kill them all.

After all, she is not a master like Su Le or the Mu Clan, she can deal with dozens of people at the same time. These strong blacksmiths can't be idle and wait for themselves to save them, and they won't be able to do it now.

So, Zhuang Rou quietly followed them, and when she looked at it, she saw that the three of them were facing away from her, and they were pulling happily against a pile of ore.

She picked up her crossbow and pointed it at them, thought for a moment and put it down. It will take some time for the anesthetic to take effect, and they will definitely shout, and they will have to go over and do it.
