Chapter 24: Kidnapping the Blacksmith
King Baishui Er led hundreds of people to rush towards the county town.
The two veterans guarding the city gate were shocked.
Due to the strange military garrison system of the Ming Dynasty, the garrisons of Chengcheng County were not in the county town.
They were in the garrison more than ten miles away from the county town, where they were farming and playing.
The veteran guard knew that he could not wait for reinforcements in a short period of time, so he relied on the two old men to resist hundreds of rebels. He didn't dare to borrow a hundred courage from them.
The two veterans were very quick and frankly into the gutter next to them, and then took off their military uniforms as quickly as possible, and turned into two old men who were drooping...
The peasant uprising army rushed to the streets of the county town in an instant.
The people on the street were in chaos and retracted to their homes.
Wang Er did not intend to cause trouble for them, and led the rebels to rush straight to the county government.
After they rushed over, Thirty-Er's slightest alley came out of an alley, looked left and right on the empty street, and then ran quickly towards the city where the craftsmen lived.
It turned out that after Gao Chuwu left with his wife and daughter who was thirty-second, he was about to find a blacksmith when he heard a shout of killing outside the city.
The White Water King Er turned against him!
He quickly took off his long gown, took out the coarse cloth clothes of the servants at home and put them on, and then pulled his hair into a mess, like a middle-aged beggar with disheveled face. Then he came out of his home and walked around in the alley. Then he saw Wang Er leading hundreds of thieves rushing through the main street in front, heading towards the county government with murderous intent.
After they all left, Sanshier took a few deep breaths, strengthened himself with courage, got out of the alley, and continued to run towards the urban area where the craftsmen lived.
Not long after, he arrived at Craftsman Street.
This is a dark and narrow street with dilapidated houses and sewage flowing.
Those who live here are all craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, and potters.
These people are very poor.
Thirty-two took a deep breath and knocked on the door of a blacksmith.
There was a peasant uprising outside. The blacksmith was huddling at home alone and shivering. Suddenly, he heard the knock on the door. He was so scared that he wanted to fly away. How dare he open the door?
It was not until he heard the sound of Thirty-two calling, that he mustered up the courage to open the door: "Ah, is it Master Third? Why are you here? Still dressed like this?"
Thirty-two quickly went in and closed the door: "Shh! The thief outside made me do this."
Blacksmith: "Oh!"
Thirty-two whispered: "Don't worry about those traitors, they won't be able to kill you if they want to kill them. At most, they will kill all the county lords, county magistrates, and master Bo. If you kill the minor officials and yamen runners, you will go to grab the granary. It's not our turn to do it for the time being."
Blacksmith: "Then are you?"
Thirty-two said quickly: "Li Da, you are the best blacksmith in Chengcheng County, but all the officials in Chengcheng County do not regard you as human beings. Only I know your skills. This is called [The wisdom of knowing people]."
It turned out that the blacksmith was named Li Da. He was indeed the best blacksmith in Chengcheng County. He had created many high-quality weapons and armor for the three inspectors and guard soldiers in Chengcheng County.
(PS: The inspector is a ninth-rank military officer, each inspector has more than 100 troops under his command.)
However, the court does not pay attention to craftsmen. Regardless of your skills, you are all craftsmen who are inferior to ordinary people. The county magistrate doesn't even look at the craftsmen at first glance, and you care about your skills.
Only the master, the person who assists the county magistrate in handling affairs, will know his ability.
In fact, Thirty-Er is a good man. He often talks to the poor. Li Da also needs to take care of Thirty-Er. Otherwise, in this chaos, he would not have been willing to open the door for him to come in just now.
Li Da said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, only the third master knows the villain's skills."
Thirty-second said: "I know you are very poor and always want to get rich. Now I will give you a chance to follow me and work as a private blacksmith for a very rich and wealthy master. Do you want to go?"
Li Da was confused when he heard this: "A very rich and rich master? A private blacksmith? This... I am a craftsman. If I run away casually, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
Thirty-two pointed to the outside: "Now the thieves are in chaos and killing people everywhere. You take this opportunity to run away. No officers and soldiers will come to chase you. Everyone just thinks that you have been cut into meat sauce by the thieves. From then on, you can get rid of the craftsmanship, follow the new master, and work hard for the master. When he is happy, he may help you get a new household registration and you can wash yourself back to white."
When Li Dayi heard this, he was immediately moved.
He couldn't figure out which generation of ancestor he was. He was arrested for his defeat and became a craftsman. From then on, his descendants have been craftsmen from generation to generation. His life was miserable and it was difficult to even seek a wife. He is still alone.
Now I heard Thirty-Two fooling me that I could escape and do things for the master, and that I might be able to turn white in the future, and the temptation level would be increased.
The ancients had a simple mind. They had no experience of being deceived into selling organs in northern Myanmar. They were easily trusting people easily, especially the man Thirty-Two was considered a good teacher, so they believed it even more deeply.
He whispered, "Can I really make me live a good life?"
"Believe me." Thirty-two said: "Let's go, let's go quickly. Taking advantage of the rebels in the city, the yamen runners are in the county yamen, and the soldiers guarding the city hide. Only then can you escape, as a craftsman, wait until these traitors stop, you will never be able to get out again, and your descendants are all craftsman."
This is really scary!
Li Da gritted his teeth and tried: "Let's go, take me to see that master."
Thirty-two was very happy, very good, the blacksmith got it. Thirty-two I rely on my three-inch tongue to cheat and cheat, and I didn’t even want to see it. Finally, I helped Lord Tian Shen trick a blacksmith. Hahaha, this time, my identity as a tycoon in God is so honest.
This is much better than being a badass for the county magistrate.
He patted Li Da on the shoulder and pulled his arm out of the door.
The shouts in the county town were still shocking, and the chaos was mainly concentrated in the neighborhood where the county government and the rich people lived. You can tell that the county government had fallen and the shouts of killing had spread to the yards of the rich people. It seemed that the servants were still fighting against the thieves.
The cry of a woman sounded from time to time!
Thirty-two, you can know without looking at it. Many women will be insulted in this chaos, especially the ladies and maids. They all have beautiful facial features and white skin. They fall into the hands of those thieves, but they are afraid they are...
He couldn't help but sighed deeply. It was wrong for the government to rob the grain, but what are the crimes of these women?
The government is not a good thing, and the thieves are not a good thing either.
It turns out that I am only thirty-two in the world, and I have no guilt in doing things. This is called [the world is turbid and I am pure only].
He pulled Li Da's arm and said, "Let's go quickly! After the rebels killed the rich and wealthy families, chaos will affect this place."
The two of them ran wildly along the streets and alleys, and the city gates in front were wide open, and no one guarded the city at all.
Just as he ran out of the city gate, Li Da's mood flew: Haha, I, as a craftsman, finally escaped from the control of the government.
Chapter completed!
