In the Wei family's blacksmith shop, Wei Xue cleaned the dust in the blacksmith shop, while Wei Qing sorted out the account books at the counter.

On the shelves are all kinds of iron tools such as sickles, shovels, hoes, scissors, etc., all forged by Wei Yi before.

During this time, the shop also resumed business, and there was a daily income.

"I don't know how your brother's assessment went?" Wei Xue said suddenly.

"Mother, don't worry, brother, he's definitely fine!" Wei Qing said with a smile.

"Aunt Wei, are you there?" Meng Shuilian's slightly anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Wei Xue looked at the door in surprise.

I saw Meng Shuilian walking in quickly, looking a little flustered.

"Aunt Wei, it's not good, Uncle Wei's case may be about to change!"

"What!" The broom in Wei Xue's hand fell to the ground, and the whole person's expression instantly collapsed.

Wei Qing at the counter also changed her complexion, and her eyebrows were twisted.

"I heard from the people in the county government that they found new evidence that Uncle Wei colluded with the evil cultivator to kill Liu Yuanwai's son, and they also found a witness." Meng Shuilian said in a heavy voice.

During this time, she helped find some of her father's friends and connections.

I contacted the official of the county office.

Although the man was just an ordinary servant, he couldn't help much.

But she felt that with this relationship, she could help take care of it somewhat.

Let Uncle Wei suffer less in prison.

Not long ago, however, news came from the man.

said that the county government had found new evidence, and a witness suddenly appeared.

It proves that Wei Tieshan colluded with the evil cultivator and killed Liu Yuanwai's son.

Now that the evidence is conclusive, the county government has reported to the Criminal Department, and Wei Tieshan may be beheaded by the Autumn Queen.

Although Meng Shuilian felt that this matter was a little strange.

It is even suspected that Liu Fugui, the owner of Nabao Xingxing, colluded with the prefect to fabricate evidence and witnesses, and wanted to put Wei Tieshan to death.

But they had no evidence, and the case was originally very unfavorable to Wei Tieshan.

The county government will report to the Criminal Department for review, and nine times out of ten it will pass.

Moreover, the current Great Yan Dynasty is corrupt, and officials protect each other.

Ordinary people like them can't fight those who are officials.

What's more, there is also the Liu family, the gentry of Qingzhou City.

So this time, the situation can be said to be very bad.

"Sun, what about Dao Elder Sun, what about the two Dao Masters of Yuntian Sect, aren't they still arresting evil cultivators?" Wei Xue's face turned pale and asked in a panic.

"I heard that Daoist Sun didn't find the evil cultivator, so they would have been reinstated a long time ago!" Meng Shuilian didn't hide this matter, after all, there was no way to hide it now.

Obviously, the Liu family took this opportunity to start.

Hearing this, Wei Xue almost sat down on the ground.

Fortunately, Meng Shuilian helped her and helped her to the chair.

Wei Qing on the side also hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Although she was also stunned at this time, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, she knew that she had to take care of her mother.

I can't let my mother collapse again, I have to be strong.

"Aunt Wei, don't worry, we may still have room for maneuver in this matter, by the way, what about Gongzi Wei?" Meng Shuilian reassured.

"My brother went to take the swordsmith assessment, and he wasn't at home!" Wei Qing said with a sob.

"Wei Qing, do you want to inform him, maybe you can ask him to write a petition, and we will go to the government to complain, maybe we can help Uncle Wei buy some time." Meng Shuilian said, in fact, she couldn't think of any good way.

I can only rush to the doctor in a hurry and do everything I can.

"Don't tell him for the time being, let him complete the assessment with peace of mind, and we'll tell him when he finishes the exam!"

Wei Xue knew very well that no matter what, he couldn't affect Wei Yi.

The future of this family will also rely on Wei Yi.

……

Qingzhou City East City, Liu's house.

"The queen of autumn asked, isn't it autumn now, what are you waiting for?" A middle-aged man with a big nose and a meaty face said with a cold face.

This person is the boss of Baoxing Bank, and he is also a well-known wealthy businessman Liu Fugui in Qingzhou City.

"The lord doesn't know that this death penalty case needs to be reported to the Criminal Department for review, and only after the review is passed can the execution be carried out.

But don't worry, Master Zheng said that there is no problem with this case, then Wei Tieshan is dead! The butler next to him bowed down and said.

"It's cheap to cut off his head, he beat my son to death, I can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives!" Liu Fugui gritted his teeth and said.

His Liu family is a single lineage, and now it is considered to be a dead end.

And the culprit of all this is Wei Tieshan.

In his opinion, Wei Tieshan's ten cheap lives are not worth his precious son.

Even if you kill him, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Although he also believed that evil cultivators were involved in this matter.

But in his opinion, Wei Tieshan must also have a grudge against his son.

was already motivated by revenge, so he fell into the way.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence, but he killed his own son.

"Wei Tieshan, when you die, I will send your whole family down for a reunion!" Liu Fugui's eyes flashed with viciousness.

……

Wei Yi, who was in the Sword Casting Division, didn't know what was going on at home.

After he had lunch, he moved on to forge a second sword.

This time, Su He, the envoy, also came over, ready to watch Wei Yi strike the iron throughout the whole process.

He also saw the sword forged by Wei Yi, and he was also surprised in his heart.

For Wei Yi, he was naturally impressed.

Especially listening to Du Yujiang, Wei Yi's forging method is ingenious.

So he was also curious and wanted to see what was so special.

He even ordered Hou Dong to record the process of Wei Yi's striking on the side as a technical archive for the Sword Casting Division.

"I really didn't expect that a scholar would have such a superb sword-forging technique!" Su He exclaimed.

"Yes, my father used to say that a truly powerful blacksmith never relies on brute force, but on brains, and now I understand!" Du Yujiang's eyes were full of appreciation and affection when he looked at Wei Yi.

All afternoon, Wei Yi kept forging his sword.

Du Yujiang and Su He kept watching from the side, chatting occasionally, but neither of them left.

After dinner, Wei Yi also basically forged the sword body.

"Now he's going to start heating the sword, and here you can take a closer look, as he heats up, he'll put the stone into the furnace fire together!" Du Yujiang suddenly spoke.

"What kind of method is this, I haven't heard of it before!" Su He was a little surprised.

"Well, it's the first time I've seen it, too!"

"Hou Dong, focus on recording this process!" Su He patted the table next to him and said to Hou Dong.

"Yes, sir!" Hou Dong nodded, and then carefully watched Wei Yi's actions, writing hard, and recording the whole process in detail.

When Wei Yi finished heating the sword body, it was already three quarters of the hour.

The next step is to wait for the sword to cool down.

So today's assessment is also over, as long as the sword created tomorrow also reaches the quality of one pearl, he can officially become a nine-rank sword caster.

On the way home from the Sword Casting Division, Du Yujiang sat in the carriage and fell into deep thought.

He was sure that with Wei Yi's performance and talent today.

It will definitely arouse the interest of Jianfeng Tower.

They can't have no one in the Sword Forging Division, and today's news will definitely not be hidden.

So tomorrow when Wei Yi's assessment is over, they will definitely come to rob them of people.

You have to do it first.

Although he had already divulged some words to Wei Yi today, he felt that that was not enough insurance.

If you want to get this talent thoroughly, you need to show more sincerity and use better methods.

"What the hell is to be done?" Du Yujiang frowned.

Suddenly, he thought of Wei Tieshan, and immediately sat up straight, his eyes flickering.
