Chapter 104 In the crowd

Chapter 104: In the crowd

The conspiracy was waiting for the removal of the Gu, but Danyang, Bell Tower, Ye Family Workshop, Princess's Mansion, and the Imperial Guardian's Mansion still operated slowly at their respective paces.

Old Feng, who was watching the bell hoisting, repented deep in his heart. He could not learn these techniques and Ye Tao's ability to create miracles. He could not let Xiling have such landmark buildings, but this did not prevent him from appreciating and admiring such buildings.

On the day when the bell was lifted, many apprentices, students, and foremen gathered on the ground floor, trying to raise their heads and watch the four bells weighing 2,000 pounds slowly rise in the sound of the crunching pulleys and the straight pulling of the rope. Once an accident occurs, the bell falls and they are too late to escape, but everyone has always had confidence in Ye Tao.

The pulley set designed by Ye Tao includes a total of 32 sets of main pulleys and 24 sets of auxiliary pulleys. The main pulley is responsible for bearing weight and lifting the ringing bell. The auxiliary pulley plays a series of roles including balancing weight and avoiding risks. Even if the output of the four winches is uneven, the four ringing bells can rise smoothly and safely through the distribution of the pulley set.

The hoisting of the bell seemed to be done by a giant with infinite force but gentle and delicate force. In addition to the squeaking sound, the entire hoisting is flawless, with uniform rising speed and accurate positioning. After being in place, several students easily completed the connection between the bell and the beam, and then began to dismantle the pulley set step by step. A team of technicians with higher technical skills began to connect and link the bell room.

After seeing all this, Lao Feng sighed secretly, walked out of the bell tower and returned to the foreman's dormitory. Xiaoyu was already waiting.

"Xiaoyu, you have thought about it." Lao Feng reminded Xiaoyu for the last time.

"Think about it." Xiaoyu's eyes shot wildly, "I have also dealt with other turbulent bombs. Some of them were brought to the warehouse that Changfengxing was about one and a half miles away. At that time, as long as the imperial guards and the guards were in chaos, we would have a chance to take advantage of it. There are seven brothers in the construction site, and I have told them to light the fire together. The people who come to watch will burn it together. Lao Feng, you will soon leave the city tomorrow morning, otherwise, the whole city will be in a big way. The Lord is still waiting for you to go back and build such a magnificent building for us."

In Xiaoyu's mind, Lao Feng was the first craftsman in the organization. At this moment, Lao Feng couldn't bear to tell Xiaoyu that what he learned was quite limited, and he didn't even learn all kinds of joints in the bell tower. He nodded. At tomorrow's trial report, many people with great origins would have to climb the viewing platform and the viewing hall, and he and his workers would not be able to work. He disappeared at this time, as long as he made up a reason, no one would notice it. While the night was dark, Lao Feng quietly left the construction site. But Lao Feng was reluctant to leave Danyang so quickly. Although it was a meticulous work, he had been sweating in the bell tower for several months, and was even highly valued in his work. He could take on the work of the viewing hall. He quietly hid in a corner of the city. He wanted to listen to the bell tower's trial report tomorrow before leaving.

Since the news of the trial report had been released, many people in Danyang knew about this news. The grand occasion of the Yicheng Bell Tower, which had been circulating for several months, was about to reappear in Danyang, which really attracted many people to watch. From early in the morning, many people gathered around the bell tower spontaneously. They each looked for places with good sight, with eaves or trees on it. Those who had money at home sat around the restaurant and teahouse by the window, chatting with the vast sea and the sky, while waiting for the moment of the trial report. In this era, there is really a lack of high-rise buildings that can block the view. Even in Danyang, except for the unique bell tower, the other tallest buildings are only four floors, and are still far away from the bell tower. There is actually a large area with good sight around the bell tower.

When the sun climbed a little further, teams of imperial guards were dispatched. They were stationed around the bell tower and on the two roads leading from the Constitution Hall and the Princess's Mansion to the bell tower. Tan Weixin was determined to go to the bell tower in person to watch the ceremony a long time ago, and after the morning court, some ministers would come to join in the fun. In order to make up for the time of these people, the trial time of the Danyang Bell Tower would have to be delayed until almost noon.

This time, a young man from Xiling land pretended to be a noble young man. He was talking with two servants in a silk robe. Xiling lurked in Danyang's various works, secret spies, and even assassins who had been lurking for many years and might have been for use once. There were a total of 127 dead soldiers. At this moment, they were already scattered in the surrounding crowds as he followed his instructions. In this activity where people gathered and there were crowds of people, the best cover was mixed in the crowd. These works, secret spies and assassin killers, naturally knew how to find the most ideal attack position among the crowd, how to wait for opportunities, and find opportunities.

Ye Tao, who had already successfully operated Qihailou in Yicheng, seemed extremely confident about the quality of the project and equipment installation quality this time. Although many important figures would be present, he did not come to the bell tower early in the morning to check the installation and debugging of various equipment, nor did he temporarily hold a moment of cramming, but just came to the bell tower a quarter of an hour earlier than the princess's car. The simple gravity elevator sent him to the viewing platform, and the dense heads under his feet made him feel very accomplished. After all, another landmark building, as an architect, what kind of honor he enjoyed in this era.

Tan Weixin could not withstand the strong wind. After the servants set up a screen for her, she stepped onto the viewing platform with pride.

Standing beside Ye Tao and holding the railing, this was the first time Tan Weixin was watching Danyang at this height. Tan Weixin looked down at the entire city at the top of the tower, but her expression was still so clear. This was very similar to when Ye Tao first climbed up and looked up. After all, they were both used to the heights they looked into in office buildings. Ye Tao's previous studio was only on the 26th floor, but Tan Weixin had been working on the 58th floor before. For these two people, the height of about 300 feet, about 100 meters, is really not very interesting.

"Actually, if you turned the bell tower into a super big music box, I might like it more." Tan Weixin joked.

Ye Tao rolled his eyes. Is the music box coming to report the time? The sound is not far away. Besides, such a big bell tower, in the form of a music box, it really becomes a magnification of the clock n times? "Do you want to dig a hole and install a mechanical cuckoo as high as ten feet?" Ye Tao weighed it for a moment, laughed, and said, "Don't you really want to do it. I can really make it."

"That... is so magical, let's forget it." Imagine such a scene, Tan Weixin can only put such a picture in a fairy tale book before adjusting it.

While chatting, the two pointed to the streets beside the construction site, watching the carriages stop, fat or thin middle-aged and old men step out of the carriage, bowed each other, and walked towards the bell tower together. Among these people, most of them were the places where they had just finished their morning court, and some were representatives of the Ye family or the big businessmen who had a close relationship with the inner government. Among these people, many were investors in the Danyang Bell Tower.

Although many important figures came to the scene in person, they were not grateful for climbing. They were more willing to sit in the awning built on the open space, drink tea and chat, and wait for the arrival of important moments. In the end, only a dozen people climbed the viewing platform. In addition to a few excited officials from the Ministry of Industry, there were Chi Yun, Chi Lei, etc. and Ye Tao, who had a good relationship with the princess.

While many important figures arrived, they also brought a large number of guards and followers. The number of people made the ground of the entire construction site seem a little crowded.

Such a scene made the spies who were watching the Dixiling on the side nervously. There were too many people, and there were really many people they could not deal with easily.

Xiaoyu has been lurking in the bell tower since last night. In fact, he has been hiding in the elevator shaft and bolting himself to the top wall of the elevator shaft with two leather ropes. When the morning preparations are being started one after another, he sneaks out of the elevator shaft and mixes with the workers who do the most basic cleaning of the viewing hall. No one looks at him more.

The piles of construction tools and materials piled up in the hall will not be transported to the ground again. Although there is a gravity lifting system, it is very troublesome to transport a large number of things after all. Considering that people who are gathering in the top floor hall and waiting for them, the materials and tools piled up like mountain are pushed to the wall and covered with a whole piece of dirt-resistant blue-gray cloth. Xiaoyu took the opportunity to get into the bottom of the cloth and twisted himself into an extremely uncomfortable shape and stuck it to the size.

In the middle of the gap in the wooden box, he then took out the flint and fire break and held it tightly in his hand. A can of tincture oil was pillowed under his head, but the can of tincture oil was placed in a large bag of lime. When the test report time was announced, when the most people gathered in the viewing hall and these people happened to be in the most passionate mood, he was about to lit the fire break. At the moment when the fire broke, the smell of fire breaking into his nose would make him completely fearless.

Today, in addition to the personnel who adjusted and maintained the bell room and ringing bell, from the time Ye Tao arrived at the construction site, workers from other aspects of the bell tower were asked to go down to the ground one after another. Even those workers who worked all night to complete the resonance room. But everyone did not feel any upset because they were excluded from such a grand ceremony. Today, as long as the test report can proceed smoothly, all workers can get a red envelope equivalent to half a month's wages. Among the workers gathered below and looked up, the secret spies from Xiling were ready.

Among these few people, only two were workers to conceal their identities, and the other four were secretly learning skills like Lao Feng. But since they were secret spies, they had received some basic fighting and destruction training. After Lao Feng hid all the sulphurs, they agreed that once the sulphurs hidden in the warehouse in Changfeng was ignited, and once the crowd became chaotic, they would try their best to ignite the sulphurs hidden everywhere in the construction site. Various wood and stones were piled up on the construction site, and it was impossible to inspect them every day, leaving them with plenty of time and space to hide things.
