Chapter 61:
On the second day of the Tianxia Alliance, Wei Yi held a meeting of the iron guild in the main store of Majia Iron Shop.
All the shopkeepers from all the ironware shops in Qingzhou City were present.
Ma Tie proposed at the meeting that he was about to leave Qingzhou City, so he could no longer serve as the head of the ironware shop.
Ask Wei Yi to choose a new leader.
After hearing Ma Tie's words, all the shopkeepers were actually not surprised.
Many of them also went to the Wei Family Iron Shop that day.
Others had also heard more or less about Ma Tie's removal of the Wei family's ironware shop.
Now that Wei Yi has become the head of the outfit, Ma Tie naturally cannot stay in Qingzhou City any longer.
Wei Yi did not choose a new outfit at the meeting.
Instead, he decided to temporarily take up the position of head of the ironware shop.
Wait until a suitable candidate is available before making a decision.
After all, he wants to see the performance of these shopkeepers before making a decision.
After the meeting, Wei Yi went to the brewery.
During this time, Meng Shuilian has been keeping an eye on the brewery.
So there is almost no need for Wei Yi to worry.
The first batch of grains that were mixed with koji and fermented before should be fermented for a few more days.
At that point the distillation process can begin.
When Wei Yi returned home from the brewery, he found some strange guests at home.
They were all women, chatting happily with their aunts.
Wei Yi pulled Wei Qing over and asked, only to find out that those women were the wives of the shopkeepers of various ironware shops.
I came here specifically to give gifts.
They sent all kinds of rouge, gouache, brocade cloth, etc.
But Wei Xue and Wei Qing were very happy.
Wei Yi suddenly realized that he was indeed a businessman, and he really understood the world.
Even if you give me, a fifth-grade swordsmith, an ordinary gift, I'm afraid no one would look down upon it.
It’s too expensive and I can’t afford it.
Therefore, it is the easiest way to let the female family members please their aunt and sister.
But he didn't resent it either.
After all, this is human nature, and seeing that my aunt and sister seem to be very happy, why not do it.
That afternoon, Ma's five ironware shops closed one after another and ceased business.
Ma Tie is selling his house and preparing to leave Qingzhou City.
This incident also spread in the city.
...
In a hidden room by the West Lake in Qingzhou City, in the backyard of Miaoyinfang.
"Do you have to continue the investigation?" said a graceful woman in a red dress.
The man standing at the window with his back to her was silent.
"In order to prevent your Xuanjing Division from investigating this case, the person behind it was able to accuse your Xuanjing Division of colluding with the party and intending to murder the emperor. Do you think the people behind this case will be ordinary people?" the woman in the red dress added. .
"Of course I know, but my master and those brothers can't die in vain. No matter how big the person is behind this, I still want to get to the bottom of it. At least when I die, I can have the face to see them and let them know the truth! "The man said in a deep voice.
"But what if you can't find out the truth?"
"Then at least I tried hard, and I deserved my death."
The woman was silent for a moment, adjusted her tone, and then said: "You have been making such big noises these days. Then Zheng Cong has guessed your purpose and made all preparations. You are always cautious in doing things. Why did you kill Liu Xiaohu and the head catcher Wang without destroying the corpses and traces?" "
I did it on purpose, Liu Xiaohu or Zheng Cong. Regardless of Zheng Cong, they are just minions. They probably don’t know the real inside story of the bride case. Therefore, the person behind Zheng Cong is the big fish. I am doing this to scare him and let him know that I am a person of superior strength. I can rely on myself alone. His own warriors couldn't stop me at all, so he had to ask for help from the people behind him!" "
So you are trying to lure out the people behind Zheng Cong?"
"Well, those people have already appeared during this time, just wait. If you can catch one of them, you may be able to find some useful clues!" "
If you insist on going, bring more people with you. Your friendship with the alliance leader means that if you open your mouth, he will definitely be willing. The two of you who are helping you are you and Wu Nian. It's too dangerous." "This is a matter for our Xuanjing Division. We can't drag our brothers from the Tianxia Alliance into taking risks with us. You also said that the guy behind the scenes can To deal with our Xuanjing Division, they must also have the strength to deal with our Tianxia Alliance."
Hearing the man's words, the woman in the red dress hesitated to speak, but in the end she remained silent.
"By the way, if I really die, I'd like to trouble you and Mr. Gong to take more care of the Wei family and that Wei Yi!" "That
ninth-grade swordsmith? No, he's a fifth-grade master now!"
" Yes, I promised to protect his safety."
"How come you never keep your promise to me." "
I'm sorry, Hong Qiang, I, Shachen, have failed you in my life!"
After hearing the man's words, Hong Skirt A trace of sadness flashed in the woman's eyes. After a moment of silence, she said, "You promise him, you have to fulfill it yourself. I don't care. If you want to protect him, don't die." "I know you won't!" Shachen smiled
. said.
"Why do you want to help Wei Yi?"
"Wei Tieshan has secretly helped us forge weapons before, even if it is a favor to him, and I like that guy very much. He is courageous and talented. Now he has become a fifth-grade swordsmith. Master, it's really shocking. If I die, you can find a way to win him over to our world alliance." "If you want to win him over
, go and do it yourself, I don't care!"
"Okay, let's go!" Sha Chen waved his hand and walked out of the door.
...
In the Wei family yard, Wei Yi had just finished forging the five-jeweled sword that he was going to give to Li New Year and Li Yu, his father and son.
Then he went back to his room and started practicing the simplified version of the "Yi Jin Ti Lian Ju".
Now the forging work of the one-bead Wei sword has been completely left to Shitou and Sun Fu.
Wei Yi can also spare more time to improve his fitness skills and writing skills.
After all, these two skills can increase one's strength and trump card.
Now that he has become a fifth-grade swordsmith, at least in Qingzhou City, he has stood at the top of the ranks of swordsmiths.
So he is not in a hurry to continue improving his blacksmithing skills.
Sometimes anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and being too aggressive can be a bad thing.
Especially before you don't have enough strength and enough trump cards.
It’s better to keep a low profile and bide your time.
Even if one day he already has the level of a first-grade swordsmith.
I won’t be in a hurry to take the assessment.
At least don't be too pushy until you fully understand the situation and circumstances of the world.
The most important thing is to keep more trump cards and increase your own strength.
"Yi Jin Ti Lian Shu" has been systematically simplified, making it easier to exercise.
Movements consume less physical energy than before, but gain more proficiency than before.
This makes Wei Yi feel easier every time he practices.
After dinner, Wei Yi continued to write classic stories silently, improving his writing skills and practicing his pen and ink skills.
Unknowingly, the night got deeper and the autumn wind picked up again, blowing the bare branches and making a whining sound.
Soldiers from the patrol camp in the city passed by the door of Wei's house and carefully checked what was going on nearby.
Then they continued to patrol in the distance.
In the county government house, more than a dozen government officials were guarding the house, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
However, the wind was strong in late autumn, and the wind howled every night, making them feel as if there was always someone around them.
However, at this moment, a man in black quietly appeared from the darkness, and in a flash, he had already reached one of the government officials.
Before the man could react, he had already gone to see the King of Hell.
The figure of the man in black is like a ghost, as if he can teleport in the color.
Every time he appeared, a government servant fell to the ground silently.
