The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 25 The lotus leaf reveals the head of the turtle
ying ying ying ~~~
The old tree in the small courtyard was mottled and swayed slightly. The little fox dragged its tail and scurried out of the house, whimpering and rummaging through the corners, but couldn’t find those shiny stones. Geng Qing.

The wheelchair is actually not a difficult device. In the current age, it is still easy to make a chair and find a way to inlay the shaft and wheels on it.

I have drawn the structural diagram before, and it is much easier to do it after clarifying the thinking. Geng Qing patted the head of the little fox, regardless of its whine, and used a hatchet to plan the two pillars for the back of the chair. The old man Geng saw When you are interested, you can probably still see an outline in terms of knowledge.

"Pillars, but are you making chairs?"

"Well, make you a chair to walk around in."

Geng Qing smiled, pointed at some horizontal lines with the flat end, put it down, and then took the other one to continue polishing. The back and head of the chair were made first, and then the legs and seat frame. The most difficult thing was the wooden wheels. Tough and wear-resistant wood.

'咕咱~~~'

The red fox swept its tail, turned its head and walked back and forth, raised its two paws from time to time, put it on Geng Qing's leg, and scratched it eagerly. Seeing that the father and son ignored it, it fell back to the ground, squinting its eyes angrily to look at it. The gate of the courtyard slipped past silently, and when it came out, the father and son looked back and didn't notice it. They opened their mouths slightly, and ran out excitedly with their tongues lolling.

"Zhuzi, let Dad try."

The men in the village are not stupid in their hands and feet. Seeing their son planing out the embryonic form, their hands started to itch. Over there, Geng Qing smiled and gave him the hatchet. Pat sawdust stood up, "Father, before it's dark, I'll go outside to look for available wood."

The old man Geng sat on a low stool, flipped through the wood, and said 'hmm' twice, as if he had found something to do, and waved to his son indifferently, "Go, go, Dad. Think about this stuff."

After speaking, lost in thought, Wang Jinqiu turned back to the yard from the back of the house and didn't pay attention. When asked where the pillars were, old man Geng realized that it had been a long time.

The setting sun burns red in the west clouds, and the glow of the sun falls on the top of the mountain.

To the north of the village where the smoke is rising, towards the mountain on the back of Niujiaji, Geng Qing goes up the mountain along a small stream, pushes through the grass, and stares at the red and yellow shadow from afar, stepping on a thick layer of fallen leaves, and goes to the further depths.

'Looks like there's iron ore here'

Geng Qing followed behind, carefully pressing down on his footsteps, and dropped a layer of fallen leaves, trying not to make any noise. Sure enough, not long after, the black shadow stopped in front of a cliff, and mud and rocks rolled down, revealing a brownish-yellow Between the soil, a large black rock with a height of two people exposed a corner to the outside.

'嘤嘤~~'

Excitedly, the little fox was digging around in the yellow mud, turned over a stone, looked carefully, rubbed his furry long kiss twice, raised four little paws in his mouth, and ran away bouncing around Over there by the creek.

There was a rustling sound.

Among the barren weeds, Geng Qing stood up, glanced at the little fox leaving over there, stepped over a rotten log, and stood in front of the mountain wall. The surrounding mountain walls were covered with climbing moss and weeds. That section of earth and rocks collapsed, and it should have been washed away by heavy rain after being exposed to the sun, exposing the rock bed inside.

Geng Qing touched the big exposed rock, which was covered with black granules similar to the iron ore before, with a layer of metallic luster under the rays of sunlight from the gaps in the trees.

"Ha ha."

Withdrawing his hand, he laughed for some reason, watching the big rock in front of him slowly retreating, then turned around and left, followed the path he came from back to the mountain road, and looked in the direction of Niujiaji from a distance, where the fading red , the corner of the mouth curled up, outlining a slight smile.

Keeping you here will only keep making trouble for me, it's better once and for all.

Thinking about it, the previous idea finally came to fruition after confirming the existence of the iron mine. When I returned home, it was already dark, and Geng Qing took care of the old couple.

da~
huh~~
The little fox was playing in the yard with the newly found stones, jumping around.On the other side, the four of them sat under a tree in a circle and discussed going to Feihu County early tomorrow morning.

"Just bring some dry food, and then look for some red cloth in the village, I will be useful then!"

"Okay okay."

The three of Dachun bit the bullet and nodded, obviously they hadn't stabilized their minds from the dead people during the day today, and when they heard that they had to go out, they grimaced and agreed, and discussed for a while before leaving in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, Dachun, Shitou, and Ergou got up early, and according to Geng Qing's words, they went door to door asking if there was any red cloth. They went there, causing the village elders to chase after them and yell: "You will never change your nature, you are wicked, do you want to take the drum too?!"

"I didn't remember it before, Grandpa Xie reminded me!"

Dachun turned around and came back again, rushed into the old man's house, picked up the skin drum and borrowed it away, the old man blushed with anger, took the pole behind the door and chased all the way to the entrance of the village before stopping panting, cursing a few words go back.

Holding the leather drum and carrying the red cloth, the three of them came together with half of their buttocks exposed. Geng Qing, who had been waiting for the roadside early, got up with a grass root in his mouth, and set foot on the road leading to Feihu County with them.

"Dazhu, what are you doing with the drum, we will definitely be beaten up when we come back!"

"It's not us, it's you, and I didn't take it."

"You ah ah"

Dachun tugged at his hair angrily, and his angry screams echoed across the fields and mountains.

In the bright morning light, many farmers who were busy working in the fields outside Niujiaji Town raised their faces, and someone saw two figures dressed as servants running towards the house in front of them.

Inside the painted red gate, bypassing the Fengshui wall and passing through the front yard, inside the crescent gate on the right, Liu Mang was supported by a maidservant to walk along the cobble-paved path, and sat down in the gazebo, where the servant brought hot tea. The fragrance is lingering, and the obese figure touched the maid's hand, looking at the butterflies flying among the flowers comfortably, and took a sip of tea.

"Have those four returned?"

The old steward standing on the edge of the pavilion hesitated for a moment, but didn't answer directly. He walked forward with a smile and bowed half a step, "Going back to the master's house, considering their skills, it's not difficult to do this, but you have to wait for that Geng Dazhu to come out. Have to wait a few days."

"It's almost the same when I think about it. I just offended the old man, and I wouldn't come out of the village so courageously."

Liu Mang let go of the maidservant's delicate hand, nodded thoughtfully, and blew away the heat floating in the mouth of the cup.

"Now it is rumored that he is reincarnated as a crouching dragon, and he made a joke of me. He stepped on the old man's head and stood up. He couldn't get angry, and his heart was really depressed. By the way, how did you prepare for the gift for the county lord? "

"100 taels of silver was prepared yesterday afternoon."

When the old steward replied, he vaguely heard hurried footsteps, tilted his head, and saw two servants running from the front yard panting to the side of the Crescent Gate, passing through the Crescent Arch, their clothes and hair buns were a little messy .

The steward paused for a moment, and shouted, "How decent is it in front of the master?"

The two breathed slowly, stammering and pointing in the direction of Niujiaji.

"Master, Guanshi Liu, you are dead."

"died?"

Liu Mang just took a sip, put down his teacup with a bang and got up excitedly, but the two servants over there quickly shook their heads, swallowed their saliva, and made up the rest of the sentence.

"...It's our people who died."

puff!
Liu Mang spouted out a mouthful of tea, the old steward hurriedly stepped forward to relieve him, Liu Mang opened it with a wave of his hand, took a deep breath, settled down, sat down again, and hummed twice.

"I'm fine. I'm not going to get sick from anger anymore. Send those four people to kill him. If they kill him, it's easy. If they are killed by the other party, there's no need to worry. The old man still has a plan." .

Now that the person is dead, it's a big deal, we can sue to the Yamen smoothly, the county magistrate can accept his Geng Qing's things, so naturally he will also accept mine, no matter whether there is evidence or not, it is not easy for Geng Qing to kill someone ? "

"high!"

It turned out that my master was planning this way, the manager's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up, and pushed a bunch of compliments in time.

"Master's planning is superior. Then Geng Qing's rebirth of Crouching Dragon is probably not as good as that of the master's family. Those people outside will know later that the title of Crouching Dragon may fall on Master's head."

Hahaha!
Liu Mang waved his hand quite modestly, put the teacup and leaned it into the maid's arms contentedly, "It's just a small plan, now you bring some people with you personally, bring the corpses of the four people, and then give the money and gifts to the county magistrate." Send it."

"Here!"

The officer in charge is like a general who has received a military order. He bowed his hands and bowed out of the side yard respectfully. A green donkey waved to the crowd behind him.

"Let's go to Feihu County!"
