Seventy-nine: Two Clues

The winter solstice has not yet arrived, and Hedong County has ushered in its first light snow.

Sanjin put on a hood, surrounded the cold red face among the wool, his hands were put in his sleeves, and his eyes were seen through the fine snow like salt, and he saw the Wuji iron shop in the corner of the street.

She has lived in Hedong County for one month and takes Xiaojingyuan Dandan with a fingernail every day. Her thin body is also a little healthy, and her originally dark yellow skin color begins to exude her soft and vibrant spirit.

According to Ya Santong, if she had a better foundation, she could try to start refining her qi within two months.

He clenched his fists and walked into the blacksmith shop three jin.

In the corner of the blacksmith shop, the apprentice boy was wearing a short brown dress in a cold weather. He pulled up the bellows, burned a piece of iron bars red, and then placed them on the chopping board to hit them. He threw many semi-finished products from the side that he didn't know what tools to make.

When he made a blacksmith, his lips were tightly pursed and he was focused, but whenever the hammer hit Mars, he showed a look of fear and involuntarily shrank back.

Sanjin remembered that the boy's name seemed to be Wu Han. He looked funny and said with a crisp voice: "Why are you learning to make a fool of yourself if you are afraid of fire?"

Wu Han found that someone had entered the store. He looked back and put down the hammer, and wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes embarrassedly.

"Master is eating this bite of rice. I follow him and there is nothing else to learn." Wu Han looked at Sanjin, and first felt familiar, and then recognized this little girl who had visited the blacksmith shop more than a month ago. The young man who came with her at that time had fifty silver croakers at the time. This was a rare and generous trick, and Wu Han remembered it very clearly.

He said, """It turns out it was you. Can the weapons you bought last time your young master bought are still suitable?"

Sanjin hesitated for a moment and nodded.

This month, Li Buzhuo was almost immersed in his own world, and went out to patrol with Zhang Jinyue every three days. The rest of the time was either practicing martial arts, qi, or reading books in the library, and recording something under the lamp overnight after returning home.

Seeing that Sanjin was becoming more and more skillful, he should be a good choice.

Wu Han breathed a sigh of relief, but had a proper expression: "The weapon Master is fighting is of course fine. What are you going to make this time?"

"Yeah." Sanjin carefully took out a stack of paper from his arms, walked to the table and spread it out and said, "Can these things be used?"

Wu Han went over and saw some parts on the paper, including reeds, pull bolts, slide rails, discs... and many other things that are of unknown use are marked with dimensions, made of copper, iron, mild steel, and hard steel.

After glanced over, Wu Han was stunned for a moment, and turned to his spirit and said, "You, are you Yanshi?"

"It's not worth it. Master Ya said that I had to be able to build a skilled craftsman puppet on my own, so I asked me to go to the Xinfengfu Crafts League for assessment certificates." Sanjin shook his head and pointed to the drawings: "Can these things be beaten?"

The subtext of this sentence is that she is not a skilled craftsman, but she is probably a craftsman who has entered the school, at least better than an apprentice. Wu Han was secretly shocked and thought that this little girl looked inconspicuous. She turned out to be so powerful and could not be looked at. In an instant, she felt a little frustrated in her heart and quickly cheered up: "If you can fight, of course you can fight!"

Sanjin looked at the apprentice boy opposite him suspiciously.

After a while, Wu Han looked away with guilt and said, "It's not me who can beat me, my master can beat me."

"Okay." Sanjin was satisfied and pressed a gold baht on the table carefully. "This is a deposit, more is refunded, less is compensated. If the size is wrong, I will have to refund the money."

After hearing this, Wu Han was a little annoyed. As an apprentice who was not very successful in learning skills, he calmly accepted the doubts of others about himself, but when he questioned his master, the blind craftsman, the young man who grew up being pulled by his master since childhood, was not happy and said angrily: "The size is wrong, not only will he not charge money, but he will also pay you according to the price."

"This is what you said. I'll get the goods in two days." Sanjin grinned and said, "Let's go."

…………

The snow was so small that when the snow stopped, there was no trace on the green tiles, leaving only frost.

Inside the house.

call--

Li Buzhuo's lungs bulged, and then two long rays of white air were spitting out of his nostrils, which shot three feet away before scattering into the air.

"I have already opened six paths of twelve serious merits in one month, and I have also opened one of Linqi. As for the bow, gun, swordsmanship, I have already reached a higher level."

Li Buzhuo stood up, pushed the window and looked, then put on the Qi Refiner's clothes and left the yard.

Today is the monthly vacation of the bookstore. As a clerk, Li Buzhuo could have had a day off, but after leaving for a while, Li Buzhuo entered the bookstore again.

The friction and clicking sound of the movement of the agency came from the printing room on the east side of the library. Li Buzhuo went in and saw that the letterpress printing machine in the room were gradually alternating the words carved from ebony on the surface, printing blankets all over the white paper.

There was only one servant watching him. When he saw Li Buzhuo greetings, Li Buzhuo nodded and entered the second floor of the library.

When he arrived at the bookshelf, Li Buzhuo took out another account book and read it.

In January, by studying in his dream, he had read these case files and found many tricks.

First, some household registrations recorded as dead people in the case file have been recorded, and there are records of passports in Zhouguan Pass in the county. Second, if the number of people registered in Hedong County in the first year of Fuli is minus the number of deaths obtained by deducting the annual death toll, it is as different from the number of people investigated last year. In other words, thousands of people have appeared out of thin air in Hedong County.

Moreover, when comparing the accounts and population lists of various industries, Li Buzhuo found that some poor peasants, or those who were working as porters and boaters, and even at age 60, they often went to brothels and restaurants and were active frequently in the county.

Another strange thing pointed to the famous Bailong Temple in the southeast corner of Hedong County.

A hundred years ago, Bailong Temple was originally built by residents of Hedong County to worship the Huangshui God. It was moved in by a group of Taoist priests in the middle. Later, the group of Taoist priests in the group of Taoist priests in the game with a few monks, shaved them, and joined the Buddhist temple. From then on, Bailong Temple was occupied by Buddhists and developed into the largest Buddhist temple in Hedong County a hundred years later, with a prosperous incense.

There are not so many qualities in the villages around Hedong County, but if any relatives die at home, the residents in the county will send their bodies to Bailong Temple for cremation.

However, Li Buzhuoyi compared the number of deaths in the past six months, subtracted the list of reports for burials in surrounding villages, and compared the bodies sent to Bailong Temple in the past six months, and found that the number was incorrect.

The bodies stored in Bailong Temple are far more than the normal number of deaths registered in the county town.

In other words, many corpses of unknown origin were sent to Bailong Temple.
