Chapter 15
In the blacksmith shop of the Wei family, Wei Xue was cleaning the dust in the blacksmith shop, while Wei Qing was sorting out the account books at the counter.

There are sickles, shovels, hoes, scissors and other iron objects on the shelves, all of which were forged by Wei Yi before.

During this period of time, the shop has also resumed business, and the money is coming in every day.

"I don't know how your brother's assessment is going?" Wei Xue said suddenly.

"Mother, don't worry, he's definitely fine!" Wei Qing said with a smile.

"Aunt Wei, are you there?" Meng Shuilian's slightly anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Wei Xue looked at the door in surprise.

Seeing Meng Shuilian walking in quickly, her expression was a little flustered.

"Aunt Wei, it's not good. Uncle Wei's case may, possibly, be changed!"

"What!" The broom in Wei Xueshi's hand fell to the ground, and his whole expression instantly collapsed.

Wei Qing at the counter also changed her complexion drastically, her black eyebrows twitched into a ball.

"I heard from people in the county government office that they found new evidence that Uncle Wei colluded with Xie Xiu to kill Liu Yuanwai's son, and they also found a witness." Meng Shuilian said in a heavy voice.

During this period of time, she helped find some friends and relationships with her father.

Contacted the servant of the county government office.

Although that person is just an ordinary yamen servant, he can't help much.

But she felt that with this relationship, she could help take care of it to some extent.

Let Uncle Wei suffer less in prison.

However, not long ago, the man sent news.

Said that the county government found new evidence, and a witness suddenly appeared.

It proves that Wei Tieshan colluded with Xiexiu and killed Liu Yuanwai's son.

Now that the evidence is solid, the county government has reported it to the Ministry of Punishment, and Wei Tieshan may be executed by Qiu Houwen.

Although Meng Shuilian felt that this matter was a bit strange.

It was even suspected that Liu Fugui, the boss of Baoxing Bank, colluded with the magistrate, forged evidence and witnesses, and wanted to put Wei Tieshan to death.

But they have no evidence, and the case is very unfavorable to Wei Tieshan.

If the county government submits it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for reexamination, it will pass in all likelihood.

Moreover, the current Dayan Dynasty is extremely corrupt, and officials protect each other.

Ordinary people like them can't compete with those officials.

What's more, there is the Liu family, a nobleman in Qingzhou City.

So the situation this time can be said to be very bad.

"Sun, where is Taoist Priest Sun, where are the two Taoist priests of Yuntianzong, aren't they still arresting evil cultivators?" Wei Xue asked in panic with a pale face.

"I heard that Daoist Sun and the others didn't find the evil cultivator, so they will return to the sect a long time ago!" Meng Shuilian did not hide this matter, after all, there is no way to hide it now.

Obviously, the Liu family took this opportunity to attack.

Hearing this, Wei Xue almost slumped down on the ground.

Fortunately, Meng Shuilian supported her and helped her to the chair.

Wei Qing on the side also hurried forward to help.

Although she was dumbfounded at this time, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, she knew that she had to take care of her mother.

I can't let my mother collapse anymore, I must be strong.

"Aunt Wei, don't worry, we may still have room for maneuver in this matter, by the way, where is Mr. Wei?" Meng Shuilian comforted.

"My brother went to participate in the swordsmith assessment and is not at home!" Wei Qing said sobbing.

"Wei Qing, do you want to inform him, maybe let him write a pleading paper, we go to the government office to file a complaint, maybe we can buy some time for Uncle Wei." Meng Shuilian said, in fact, she couldn't think of any good way .

I can only go to the doctor in a hurry and do everything possible.

"Don't tell him for now, let him finish the assessment with peace of mind, and we'll tell him after he finishes the test!"

Wei Xue knew very well that no matter what, he could not affect Wei Yi.

The future of this family depends on Wei Yi.

……

In the east part of Qingzhou City, inside Liu's residence.

"Qiuhou Wenzhan, isn't it autumn now? What are you waiting for?" A middle-aged man with a big nose and a fleshy face said coldly.

This person is the boss of Baoxing Bank and a well-known wealthy businessman in Qingzhou City, Liu Fugui.

"Master doesn't know that this death penalty case needs to be reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review, and the sentence can only be executed after the review is passed.

But don't worry, Mr. Zheng said that there is no problem in this case, so Wei Tieshan is dead! "The butler next to him bowed and said.

"Beheading will be cheap for him. He beat my son to death. I can't wait to cut him into pieces!" Liu Fugui said through gritted teeth.

He is a single descendant of the Liu family, and now he can be regarded as an extinct descendant.

And the culprit of all this is that Wei Tieshan.

In his opinion, Wei Tieshan's ten cheap lives are not worth his precious son.

Even if he was killed, it would be difficult to dispel the hatred in his heart.

Although he also believed that evil cultivators were involved in this matter.

But in his opinion, Wei Tieshan must also have a grudge against his son.

I had the intention of revenge in my heart, so I got the way.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he killed his son.

"Wei Tieshan, when you die, I will send your whole family down for a reunion!" Liu Fugui's eyes flickered with viciousness.

……

Wei Yi, who was in the Sword Making Division, didn't know what happened at home.

After he had lunch, he continued to forge the second sword.

This time, the envoy Su He also came over, ready to watch Wei Yi blacksmith the whole time.

He also saw the sword forged by Wei Yi, and he was equally surprised.

Naturally, Wei Yi also looked at him with admiration.

Especially from what Du Yujiang said, Wei Yi's forging method is ingenious.

So he was also curious and wanted to see what was so special about it.

He even ordered Hou Dong to record Wei Yi's iron forging process as a technical archive of the Sword Casting Division.

"I never thought that a scholar would possess such a superb sword-making technique!" Su He exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes, my father once said before that a really good blacksmith never relies on brute force, but brains. Now I understand it!" Du Yujiang looked at Wei Yi with admiration and love.

Throughout the afternoon, Wei Yi kept forging his sword.

Du Yujiang and Su He had been watching from the sidelines, chatting occasionally, but neither of them left.

After dinner, Wei Yi basically forged the blade into shape.

"He's going to start heating the blade next. You can take a closer look here. When he heats up, he will put the clang stone into the furnace!" Du Yujiang said suddenly.

"What kind of method is this? I haven't heard of it before!" Su He was a little surprised.

"Well, it's the first time I've seen it too!"

"Hou Dong, focus on recording this process!" Su He patted the table next to him and said to Hou Dong.

"Okay, my lord!" Hou Dong nodded, then watched Wei Yi's actions carefully, and wrote down the whole process in detail.

When Wei Yi finished heating the sword body, it was already three quarters of Xu time.

The next step is to wait for the blade to cool down.

So this is the end of today's assessment. As long as the sword he forges tomorrow also reaches the quality of a jewel, he can officially become a ninth-rank swordsmith.

On the way home from Jianjian Division, Du Yujiang sat in the carriage, lost in thought.

He is sure that with Wei Yi's performance and talent today.

It will definitely arouse the interest of Jianfeng Building.

It is impossible for them to have no one in the Sword Forging Division, and today's news must not be hidden.

So when Wei Yi's assessment ends tomorrow, they will definitely come to snatch him.

You have to act first.

Although he had revealed some things to Wei Yi today, he felt that it was not safe enough.

If he wanted to get this talent thoroughly, he needed to show more sincerity and use better methods.

"What should I do?" Du Yujiang frowned.

Suddenly, he thought of Wei Tieshan, and sat up straight, his eyes sparkling.
