Luo Yongsheng was ordered by General Chu Duyu, and the next day the sky was still gray, so he straightened out more than 20 elite soldiers and rushed to that border town non-stop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he arrived in the town, it was already dawn, Luo Yongsheng asked as he walked, found the blacksmith shop, and immediately brought Blacksmith Li out, asking if anyone had customized special tools for him recently.

Blacksmith Li saw that these military masters were menacing, and knew that it must not be a good thing, so in order to keep his job, he lied, saying that it was a troubled time, and recently there were people from all over the country who came to customize sword self-defense equipment. Vice General Luo thought to himself, in the Ming Dynasty, the ban on fire and swords was banned, and ordinary people could carry weapons with them to protect themselves, not to mention the troubled times, the emperors were dead, and the common people should also customize weapons in order to fight against the Qing soldiers. But Luo Yongsheng felt that this blacksmith Li must be lying, and the pawnshop shopkeeper clearly said that there were rumors that the wild man with the golden vein customized special tools here, but he was untrustworthy and refused to report it truthfully, so he would check his shop first.

Luo Yongsheng ignored the blacksmith Li's obstruction, and led his own soldiers to check the inside and outside of the shop, and found a large number of hammers, shovels, digging tools and swords of various colors in the workshop where tools were made, and no one had come to take them away. Luo Yongsheng gave his soldiers a look, and immediately dragged the blacksmith Li in front of him, and without saying a word, he beat him violently first. Beat this Li Tiejun's nose and face were swollen, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, snot and tears wiped his face, Luo Yongsheng saw that the time was ripe, so he grabbed Li Blacksmith's hair, and put a red-hot soldering iron against Li Blacksmith's neck, saying that Lao Tzu's military order is in his body, and he has no time to play dumb riddles with you, if you dare to say half a lie, he will burn you and feed it to the dog.

Although Blacksmith Li was greedy for money, he was even more afraid of death, so he immediately told the story of someone customizing tools.

It turned out that a few months ago, two people who were unusually tall and strange-looking suddenly came to his shop, and before he could speak, they threw out a bag of broken gold at him, saying that he needed to customize some special construction tools for polishing stone bricks. Blacksmith Li saw that the person who came was so generous, so he took the deal, and it took a month to complete the tools needed by the two people, and the two people received the tools, and they were very happy, and gave Blacksmith Li a lot of benefits at the moment, saying that they would come again in the future.

A few months later, that is, in the last month, the two came to patronize again, but they looked a little panicked, and gave Blacksmith Li a piece of horseshoe gold, saying that they needed more stone hammers and shovels, and they also had to customize some self-defense weapons, so as not to be killed in case the Qing soldiers attacked. Blacksmith Li had long felt that they were strange, and couldn't help but ask them more, asking them what kind of project they were rushing to build, and they needed so many tools. The young man immediately glared at him, blaming him for being nosy, but the old man had a heavy face and told him that they were all from a village in the mountains, and that they were about to attack when they heard that the Qing soldiers had entered the customs, so they had to build some fortifications in order to protect themselves. When Blacksmith Li heard this, he felt that it seemed to be such a truth, and he didn't care where the gold of the two people came from, thinking that it would be a fool to make money or not, so he didn't ask any further.

Blacksmith Li continued, these two people are very strange, although they speak the dialect of the town, but the traces of imitation are very strong, and when they hear it, they know that they are not native to this place. Also, these people have very white complexions, and even their hair is slightly white, if you don't look at their appearance, they are no different from those deep boudoir yellow flower girls. What's more, it's very terrifying, the eyes of these two people, in the dim place of the shop, are slightly red, not like humans, but like demons.

Luo Yongsheng immediately asked the blacksmith, saying when these two people would come to get the tools made, the blacksmith did not dare to slack off, and bluntly said that it was just in time, but the two of them agreed today, presumably they were already on the road at this time, and advised Luo Yongsheng not to provoke these people, in case they can use witchcraft, although the military master is brave, he is afraid that he can't resist it.

When Luo Yongsheng heard this, he was silent, and he told Blacksmith Li that he suspected that these two people were secretly mining gold mines in the mountains, and he wanted to arrest and interrogate them, and told Blacksmith Li not to make a noise when people came, so they hid in the back room, using the sound of coughing as a code, and so on, according to the plan.

Although those two people looked like demons, Blacksmith Li knew in his heart that in the troubled times, these military masters were even more people he couldn't afford to provoke, and if he angered them, his wife and children would be afraid that their lives would be difficult to protect, so he had to nod his head and promise.

After half a day, the two of them really carried a bamboo basket to get tools according to the original agreement. They went into the shop, threw another piece of gold at Blacksmith Li, and counted it as a reward, and began to put the tools into the bamboo basket. Seeing that the time was ripe, the blacksmith hurriedly took a few steps back, pretended to be unwell, covered his mouth and nose and coughed. Luo Yongsheng heard the code in the inner room, and immediately led his subordinates to rush out, aiming the fire at the two people, and when the commander gave the order, he was about to fire.

The old and young people, when they saw a group of armed officers and soldiers suddenly rushing in, were naturally taken aback, and looked at each other, and the young man glared at Blacksmith Li, gritting his teeth with hatred, as if he wanted to eat him alive before he could relieve his hatred. Although the two were surrounded by officers and soldiers, Blacksmith Li was still frightened, and hurriedly fled to the back room, ordering his wife and children to quickly pack up and flee to his hometown in the countryside for refuge.

Besides, this deputy general Luo ordered his subordinates to surround the two, so he stepped forward to ask the two of them where they came from, but the two did not answer, and Luo Yongsheng asked about the origin of the gold again, and threatened that if they did not tell the truth, they would be beheaded for public display. The two glared angrily, unmoved. Luo Yongsheng saw that it was useless to say goodbye to his subordinates, and suddenly the sound of fire broke out, and the young man, who was shot in the leg, immediately collapsed to the ground, covered the sore spot, and screamed.

Luo Yongsheng pressed again, but the old man still didn't answer, Vice General Luo beckoned again, and asked his subordinates to abolish the old man's legs. Unexpectedly, at this time, the old man suddenly burst out, with lightning speed, jumped to the front, without waiting for everyone to see what was going on, the white light flashed, and one of the people in the team let out a heart-rending scream, and the ground did not know when, threw a piece of bloody internal organs, and then looked at the person who fell to the ground, he had already died.

By the time everyone reacted, the old man had already jumped up like a bolt of lightning and broke out of the window. Luo Yongsheng immediately chased him out, but the old man was so fast that he had already disappeared into the alley outside the window and disappeared without a trace.

Luo Yongsheng was not in a hurry, and ordered his subordinates to hang the young man whose leg was broken by the firecracker, strip off his shirt, take a soldering iron, and go to the stove to barbecue.

Vice General Luo thought to himself, this person is not a tool of iron, no matter how hard he is, after several tortures, I am afraid it will be unbearable, although he escaped from the old man, but this young man will definitely be able to pry something out of his mouth.
