Chapter 423: 24



306  "Master, don't you see that this is a spiral?"

  "Um?"

  At this time, Huang Bing on the side spoke up, and Sun Tiechui looked at Huang Bing and said, "What's so special about this?"

  Huang Bing said: "I think this is the finishing touch of this gun. This spiral is very similar to the structure of a carpenter's hook. It looks like two parts, but when combined, it is no worse than a whole."

  "Mortise and tenon structure?"

  Sun Tiechui said, "But this is iron, not wood. After forging, how do we make this spiral on the weapon?"

  "Master, you can make the mold in advance when casting, so that you only need to polish it a little later to get it into shape."

  Sun Tiechui nodded when he heard this. His train of thought became clear. There was no problem with his skills, but sometimes his mind was not as flexible as that of his disciple.

  At this time, Chen Jie also looked at his disciple Huang Bing. This little disciple is very smart.

  The blacksmith's skills are one aspect, and sometimes talent is also one aspect. I am actually lacking a blacksmith.

  Chen Jie muttered to himself that there was indeed no blacksmith in his workshop, but Huang Bing was a perfect fit. If there was a chance, he could recruit him under his command.

  Su Yunjin was right. When Zhou Gong spit out food to feed his guests, the whole country was at peace. Chen Jie was still very eager for talents.

  Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Sun Tiechui and asked, "Master Sun, how long will it take to cast it?"

  Sun Tiechui heard this and said, "It will take at least five or six days."

  Chen Jie nodded and said, "Do you need me to pay a deposit?"

  Sun Tiechui said, "No need. I trust the reputation of Master Chen. Besides, the tinder is all here with me. Why do you need a deposit? You can just come and pick it up when the time comes."

  Chen Jie nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Master Sun."

  After saying that, Chen Jie stood up and said, "Master Sun, please don't see me off. I'm leaving now."

  Sun Tiechui said, "Well, I have something else to do here. Huang Bing, go and see off Master Chen."

  Huang Bing heard this and said, "Yes."

  Huang Bing escorted Chen Jie out, and Chen Jie asked Huang Bing, "How many years have you been learning martial arts, young man?"

  Huang Bing said: "Ten years."

  "Oh, that technique should be pretty good."

  Huang Bing said: "Not bad, not bad."

  Chen Jie nodded and said, "You are being modest."

  "Then do you have any idea to start out on your own? My White Tiger Hall is in need of a master."

  Huang Bing was stunned, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Master has been very kind to me, I have never thought of leaving Master, thank you for your kindness, Master Chen."

  Chen Jie didn't care that he didn't succeed in digging into her, and said with a smile, "Okay, if that's the case, let's talk about it later. We'll leave first."

  …

  "Ahem…"

  At this moment, there was a clear cough in the room, followed by the woman wearing a bamboo hat coming out.

  "How is it? This Chen Jiusi is different from what you thought, right?"

  Sun Tiechui looked at Chen Jiusi who was walking away and said, "Well, it's indeed different. He is too young. What's also inconsistent with his age is his sophisticated way of dealing with people. A young man like him shouldn't be like this, right?"

  After hearing this, the woman said, "An extraordinary person, an extraordinary appearance, ahem..."

  Sun Tiechui turned his head and looked at the woman and said, "Alian, is it a bad idea to keep dragging it out like this?"

  The woman said, "Ahem... my health is secondary now. The main thing is that the Darughachi government has started to attack us, and our transportation channels have been seized. If the Darughachi is blocking Mianshui County, I'm afraid we won't be able to transport this batch of military supplies. Ahem, our brothers in the northern army are still waiting for us!"

  After hearing this, Sun Tiechui frowned and said, "Well, the good news is that the arrested people don't seem to have given us away yet."

  The woman said, "No one can withstand the torture of the Mulan people. It is only a matter of time before they find us. Now, what we should do is to forge weapons as soon as possible and try to complete this batch of weapons as soon as possible. Then, we need to find a reliable channel to transport them out of Mianshui County, ahem..."

  After hearing this, Sun Tiechui said, "Well, A'lian, don't worry. You don't have to worry about the weapons. The most important thing now is your health. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to the King of Dharma."

  The woman said, "It's not that there is no way. Doesn't Chen Jiusi have the blood clots?"

  Sun Tiechui asked, "Do you mean to rob?"

  The woman said, "Steal!"

  …

  At this time, outside the blacksmith shop, Chen Jie and Sixi walked for a long time. Chen Jie looked around and then turned to Sixi and said, "Sixi, take it out."

  Upon hearing this, Si Xi immediately took out from his sleeve the thing he had picked up from the ground in the corner when he entered the blacksmith shop.

  He handed it to Chen Jie with both hands.

  Chen Jie took it and looked at it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

  arrow!

  That's right, it's an arrowhead, a three-edged metal arrowhead with a slot on the back. Just insert the arrowhead into the slot, and it will be an arrow that can kill the enemy!

  This kind of thing is strictly prohibited by the public. It is okay if you make swords, after all, swords are sometimes farm tools.

  If you make a knife, you can say it is used to chop wood, and that makes sense.

  But bows and arrows won't work, they are weapons, real weapons.

  What is the crime of privately manufacturing military weapons by civilians? That is the intention of treason. So why did Sun Tiechui privately manufacture so many arrows?

  Chen Jie easily thought of Zoroastrianism.

  Sun Tiechui is actually a Zoroastrian!

  At this point in time, apart from the Zoroastrians, no one else would make this kind of weapon. Even the gang leaders didn't dare to get involved. Even if they made weapons, they were only swords and the like.

  No one dared to make such obvious military equipment as arrows, let alone hire archers. Otherwise, if Yelu found out, it would be a serious crime.

  Thinking of this, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes.

  Si Xi looked at Chen Jie and said, "Master, do you want to report it?"

  Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Si Xi and said, "Report, who are you reporting?"

  "Sun Tiechui, he is a Zoroastrian."

  After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Si Xi and asked, "What good is there in reporting him?"

  "Um?"

  Si Xi was stunned, and then said: "Uh... there is no benefit, but he is a Zoroastrian!"

  Chen Jie immediately laughed: "So what if it's Zoroastrianism? We can't do anything that has no benefits, understand?"

  Si Xi nodded and said, "I understand. Arresting Zoroastrianism is the court's business, not ours. Moreover, if we report Zoroastrianism, the Zoroastrianism may bear a grudge against us and target us. This will not be worth the loss."

  Chen Jie nodded and said, "That's right, so it's not appropriate to make this matter public. Just pretend it didn't happen."

  "yes."

  Si Xi nodded. Chen Jie thought for a moment, wiped the arrow in his hand and said, "That's not right. Sun Tiechui is a Zoroastrian. But it was clearly a woman that day. Who could this woman be?"

  Chen Jie squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said to Si Xi: "Si Xi, please help me do something."

  "Master, please give your instructions."

  Si Xi immediately bowed and explained, "Send someone to all the major medicine shops in the city to investigate who has bought dragon's blood in the past day."

  "yes."

  Si Xi nodded immediately upon hearing this. He was indeed a smart man and instantly understood what Chen Jie meant.

  This is also what Chen Jie admires about him. If it were Xiaohu, he would definitely ask Brother Jiusi, who has bought the blood clotting agent and what is its use?

  Anyone who has bought Dracaena cerevisiae may be your target.

  Who is the woman who was injured by me?

  Si Xi immediately went to do the work, and Chen Jie also returned to the White Tiger Hall. They have been able to live in peace recently. After being warned, Nan Batian and Old Monster Liu will surely be more peaceful. In this case, he will investigate who this hidden Zoroastrian is.

  Si Xi's investigation was quick, and around dusk, he handed a list of investigations to Chen Jie.

  "Master, this is the list of all the people who have tried to buy dragon's blood in the pharmacy today, as well as the prescriptions that the shopkeeper and his friends recalled."

  Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the list. There were quite a few companies, seven in total.

  Chen Jie looked over and was quickly attracted by two names.

  [Sun Family Blacksmith Shop]

  [Yihonglou]

  "Yihonglou?"

  Chen Jie narrowed his eyes: "Pretty beauty?"

  Chen Jie looked at the prescription and saw that it was actually a prescription for treating menstrual pain and a warming tonic. The blood clotting medicine in it was used as a blood tonic.

  However, the blood clotting agent in this prescription can be replaced by other medicines.

  However, these are not the main reasons why Chen Jie suspected Qiao Hongyan. The main reason is that she is a woman and has strong Hua Jing. Combining these two conditions, Chen Jie can only think of Hua Sanniang and Qiao Hongyan.

  Hua Sanniang is the unrestrained type, and Qiao Hongyan's breasts should be about the same size as what she felt that day, the type that looks small but feels fleshy to the touch.

  Chen Jie also recalled the murderer's attire in the woods that day.

  Chen Jie felt that the figure and even the voice were all disguised as those of a pretty beauty.

  Could it really be her?

  Chen Jie murmured.

  Si Xi was waiting on the side. Chen Jie asked, "Si Xi, have all the blood clots been put into the warehouse?"

  Si Xi said, "Yes, it has been put into the warehouse, and according to your request, more guards have been assigned."

  Chen Jie smiled and said, "Well, that's good."

  …

  In Yihong Building, a waitress said to Qiao Hongyan, "The owner of the building has inquired clearly. The White Tiger Hall has placed all the dried blood in Warehouse No. 8 behind Yongchang Street. Moreover, our people have discovered it, and today, Warehouse No. 8 has added guards."

  The pretty girl was sitting in front of the dressing table, putting on makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
