Although Shopkeeper Tian is a profiteer, he has to admit that his craftsmanship is truly unparalleled.

In less than a quarter of an hour, four horseshoes were completed.

The shape is almost the same as what Han Zhen described, and the size perfectly fits the horseshoe of the war horse.

It was built together with sixteen thin iron nails.

"Shopkeeper Tian, ​​please lend me some tools."

"Use whatever you want!"

Shopkeeper Tian was very generous, mainly because he wanted to see how Han Zhen puts shoes on horses.

Before traveling through time, Han Zhen had never installed horseshoes on his horses.

But I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig running.

In my previous life, I watched countless videos on cow hoof trimming and horse shoe trimming, and I already knew the steps by heart.

Fitting horseshoes to horses is a dangerous job. If the horse breaks free and gets kicked, it will be disastrous.

But Han Zhen was not worried at all.

Nothing else, because this horse is not as strong as him!

After calming the horse for a while, Han Zhen gently raised a horseshoe.

The war horse seemed not used to it and began to struggle instinctively. However, Han Zhen's hand did not move at all.

After struggling for a while, seeing that it was impossible to break free, the war horse gradually gave up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Zhen picked up the knife with his other hand and began to trim the horse's hoof.

Not to mention, trimming horseshoes is really stress-relieving. Just scrape with a sharp knife and a large piece of cuticle will fall off.

Because he was inexperienced, Han Zhen moved very slowly, for fear of cutting deeply and damaging the bones and flesh inside.

After the horseshoe was smoothed, he used a file to trim the corners.

It took a full quarter of an hour to finish the first horseshoe, but with experience, the remaining three were done quickly.

Shopkeeper Tian looked on and was amazed. He didn't realize the importance of horseshoes. He just thought it was quite interesting, so he just watched the excitement.

Horseshoes were placed on the four soles of the feet. The war horse felt a little uncomfortable for a while and kept treading in place.

Patting the dust on his hands, Han Zhen asked: "How much?"

"Just give me two hundred coins."

Maybe he was happy, but shopkeeper Tian didn't ask for much this time, he only paid for the materials.

After paying the money, Han Zhen led the war horse away.

I just got fifty guan of money yesterday. Before half a day's work, I only had 7 guan left.

Most of the money was spent on war horses, but Han Zhen felt it was worth it.

I also bought some coarse salt, rice and linen at the market and planned to take them back to Xiaodong Village to my sister-in-law.

After leaving the county town, Han Zhen tried to ride on a horse. He couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that the horse was not repulsive.

He had never ridden a horse in his previous life and did not know how to operate it.

Fortunately, this was a well-trained war horse, which saved him a lot of trouble. When he felt the reins shaking, he took a step forward and trotted forward.

While Han Zhen was learning to ride a horse, an ox cart slowly drove into the east gate of the county and headed straight for the county government office.

The oxcart stopped not far from the county government office, and the housekeeper led a man carrying a basket on his back into the bookkeeping hall.

…

…

"That Han Er was caught pretending to be a reward, but he dared to attack people. After injuring several servants, he forced the elder of our family to hand over fifty guans..."

In the small hall, the housekeeper bent down and spoke respectfully about what happened yesterday.

Opposite him sat a middle-aged man wearing a blue official uniform.

This person is the actual controller of Linzi County, Master Xu.

Master Xu's appearance is not surprising, his thick curly beard is covered with a fine Sichuan brocade beard cover, and he is concentrating on ordering tea at this moment.

I saw him first take out a beautiful wooden box, use a silver spoon to scoop out the white icing sugar from the box and put it into the tea cup.

Then, add a little hot water, pick up the tea spoon and stir quickly.

With stirring, the icing sugar melts into the hot water and forms a layer of foam.

Master Xu slowly added a small ball of green tea, poured in hot water, and stirred again with a tea spoon.

Seeing the white foam overflowing the entire tea cup, he stopped with satisfaction.

Seeing this, the butler immediately complimented: "The master's tea ordering skills have become more and more advanced. I am afraid he is not inferior to everyone in Tokyo."

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, a look of enjoyment flashed in Master Xu's eyes.

It wasn't until this moment that he slowly spoke: "What do my father-in-law want?"

Master Xu knew in his heart that what the housekeeper just said was not the truth, but so what?

Just a few scoundrels.

"My brother's intention is to kill those gangsters..."

The steward said, making a vague gesture of cutting his throat.

Glancing at the copper coins in the basket, Master Xu said calmly: "I'll send another fifty coins tomorrow."

Hearing this, the housekeeper felt a pain in his heart.

Fifty guan was not enough, Master Xu's appetite was getting bigger and bigger.

However, he only dared to think about these words in his heart, but he nodded respectfully on his face.

I have lost one hundred and fifty guan over and over again, and I am afraid that my husband will feel distressed for a while.

After the housekeeper left, Master Xu ordered: "Call Li Zhu."

A scribe outside immediately stood up and quickly walked out of the office.

Not long after, Li Zhu came.

There are two captains in the county government, one is Liu Yong and the other is Li Zhu, each leading eight archers.

This Li Zhu was ruthless, bullied and dominated the market, and did not deal with Han Zhen and others.

"I don't know what the reason is for the master to call the younger one?"

Li Zhu was tall, with a sinister face and a sinister look.

But at this moment, facing Master Xu, he was groveling like a pug.

Master Xu was drinking tea and wrote lightly: "Han Er, the gangster in Dongcheng, injured the king's servant the day before yesterday and robbed him of money. I now order you to lead someone to capture him."

When Li Zhu heard this, he was immediately ecstatic.

He originally wanted to occupy An Niang in the teahouse in Dongcheng, so he often sent his archers to cause trouble, but Han Zhen ruined his good deeds time and time again.

In the end, Han Zhen got close to An Niang, so Li Zhu became jealous of Han Zhen.

It's just that because of Liu Yong's face, he never had the chance to cause trouble.

Now that the opportunity has come, he is not willing to let it go.

Thinking of this, Li Zhu said deliberately: "Secretary, Han Er has always been famous, and he is afraid of getting into trouble."

"Oh, what reputation does a rogue have? If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot!"

After Master Xu finished speaking, he stopped talking and ate tea by himself.

"I understand, little one!"

After leaving the book hall, Li Zhu immediately summoned the archers, took the simple swords and clubs, and went straight to Zhenquan Temple.

…

Zhenquan Temple.

In the side room, the five rogues slept until noon.

Seeing that Han Zhen was not there, they knew that he had returned to Xiaodong Village again, so the gangsters bought some wine and drank and had fun with the leftover braised pork from last night.

boom!

Suddenly, the door of the wing was kicked open, and a group of people filed in.

The gangsters were stunned at first, and then they felt something bad happened when they discovered that the person coming was Li Zhu, who was leading a group of archers with sticks.

After coming back to his senses, Ma Sangou forced himself to calm down and said, "Li Dutou, why are you here?"

Li Zhu smiled ferociously and said: "Ma Sangou, when the thing you committed is revealed, Master Xu will order me to come and get you!"

Gu Cong suddenly stood up and asked, "What did we do?"

Who would have thought that Li Zhu suddenly shouted: "If you dare to arrest me, beat me!"

Eight archers armed with long sticks immediately pounced on him and beat him all over his head and face.

The gangsters didn't react for a while, and they kept wailing after being beaten, so they had to squat on the ground with their heads in their hands to protect their vitals.

After a while, Masangou and several others were beaten with bruises all over their bodies.

Li Zhu waved his hand: "Take them back first, and then follow me to capture the bandit leader Han Er."

Only then did he notice the wine and meat on the table, and immediately winked at an archer: "This wine and meat must have been purchased with stolen money and taken back together."
Chapter completed!
