Why Wang Tian was beaten must start when the three teenagers entered the county town.

Huan Zhen took him and Wen Shizhi to visit the clan uncle who had just taken office, and asked for a re-investigation of Meng's death on the grounds of learning how to investigate the case. Unexpectedly, Magistrate Huan had already investigated the murder case of Magistrate Jiang's family.

Almost there.

Two murder cases, but only one murderer! It was Jiang Cheng, the eldest son of County Magistrate Jiang!

It turns out that the woman Chang is not the wife of Jiang County Magistrate at all, but belongs to Jiangcheng.

Meng asked about Chang's residence and led people to capture her husband. Unexpectedly, the person they caught was the eldest son. From then on, Meng threatened the eldest son several times, asking the eldest son to cut off the bad relationship with Chang and send Chang away. Otherwise, Meng would send Chang away.

, Meng will personally take cruel measures to deal with Chang.

Meng never expected that her eldest son would be so smitten by Chang that he planned a matricide drama!

After Meng's tragic death, County Magistrate Jiang saw something was wrong with his eldest son. After questioning him, he realized what kind of beast he had raised! But this was his son, could he still kill Jiang Cheng? Not only could he not kill him, but he had to replace the traitorous son.

Covering up the crime! Regardless of his daughter's objections, County Magistrate Jiang buried his wife in a hurry, sent all his servants to a remote farm, and even destroyed the bullock cart his wife was riding in when she died.

However, Magistrate Jiang's tolerance for adultery turned Jiang Cheng into a real devil! In order to protect the Chang family, Jiang Cheng had already killed his mother, so what was left of his father?

So, while his father was sleeping, he stabbed him in the heart, killing Jiang County Magistrate immediately. Then, he killed the last stumbling block, his little sister Jiang E, who had always questioned his mother's death, and buried her in the vegetable garden, creating Jiang E.

The mysterious illusion of absconding.

At this point, he can wait for the dust to settle. After a few years, when people have forgotten this murder case, it will be logical to take Chang as his concubine.

The reason why County Magistrate Huan investigated the two murder cases almost as well is because Jiangcheng has not revealed the specific circumstances surrounding the matricide. However, there is no point in holding on for the other party. He will definitely confess within three days at most.

Huan Zhen and the others were not willing to go through this trip in vain, so they requested that Jiang Cheng be interrogated accompanied by the jailer and the case be concluded as soon as possible. It was considered that their trip to Chuyi County was not in vain.

Magistrate Huan County was busy with administrative affairs and wanted to close the case as soon as possible, so he agreed.

Who knew that Huan Zhen was in prison, and he was impatient with Jiang Cheng pretending to be crazy, so he pulled out a dagger and cut the opponent alive! Huan Zhen's nickname is worthy of his nickname, Capture Xu'er, he really dares to kill him, and he will cut him with every move.

No!

Even after Jiang Cheng had done all the bad things he had done over the past twenty years, Huan Zhen didn't stop.

Magistrate Huan County was furious. He gave his nephew, Wen Shizhi, and Wang Tian twenty sticks each, and sent their culprits to their respective elders.

Wen Shizhi was the most cowardly. He was frightened and fainted when the criminal was chopped alive. He was then beaten awake with a stick, and then knocked unconscious again.

Wang Tian was sent to his home in Qinghe Village, waiting for his father to send someone to pick him up. What awaited him would be a more severe punishment.

Early the next morning, more than 600 carpenters in the carpentry category - Qiao Jue Skills - began to receive their license plates and count the materials and tools used in the first exam.

In the afternoon, large drums were erected at the four entrances to the east, west, south and north of the examination room. These four drums are no longer called "Ji Huagu", they are called "Better Drums". Every time a craftsman is eliminated, he picks it up when he leaves from the door.

Beating the drum hammer means admitting that one's skills are inferior to others.

The examination room was closed from then on, and craftsmen were not allowed to visit. There were hundreds of people shuttled around the venue, carrying bamboo stalks, wood and other materials. They were all wearing the poorest quality burlap and short brown. No matter whether they were men or women, their hair was not tied up or tied up.

They were disheveled and were cut short and hung down on the shoulders. Muxiang officials said that these more than a hundred hard workers were all "concubines". Most of them were convicted of serious crimes by their relatives and were sentenced to death. The men were called "concubines".

A woman is a "concubine" and she serves as a concubine to atone for her sins.

After the service period of the concubines expired, they became common people. But they were still different from ordinary people. The descendants of these common people were not allowed to take the examination for officials or craftsmen. They had only two ways out: farming and military service.

No more gossip. On the seventh day of the lunar month, the first exam officially begins.

In Yin Zheng, when it was still dark, a group of craftsmen from Guzhi Township were led by Mu Township officials to the south gate of the examination room, and they lined up in a long queue to enter the venue slowly. All craftsmen were only allowed to bring bedding, and anyone who brought tools or fire would be stripped of their skills on the spot.

Lifetime examination rights.

The male craftsmen were searched by the patrolmen, and the female craftsmen were inspected by the concubines. Fortunately, the craftsmen were very careful and no one was found to be unqualified.

After successfully entering the venue, Mu Xiang officials quickly arranged the examination positions one by one, and asked everyone to remove the tarpaulin covering the materials and check whether there were any missing materials. It was too late to report the missing materials now, and they would not make up for it later.

The Muxiang officials were really working hard, just wandering around such a large area.

Wang Ge's materials are: bamboo and grass. The tools and auxiliary materials are: knife combination, saw, wooden hammer, bamboo ruler, twine, reed catkins. When the Muxiang official came to her side, she quickly reported: "

complete."

After everyone reported, the Muxiang official loudly asked: "Remember the exam rules! It starts at the beginning of Chen and ends at the beginning of the eleventh day. The exam lasts for five days. Try not to leave early. Please pass on the materials assigned to you.

Use them all, and at least leave a good impression on the examiner. Also, don’t be affected by the drumbeat of elimination. Well, after several years of learning, I hope you can persevere until the end!"

As soon as he finished speaking, people from all directions began to shout: "Those who are not craftsmen, leave! Those who are not craftsmen, leave immediately!"

The Muxiang officials left in a hurry.

"The exam begins!"

Zhang Qing's area was in front of Wang Ge. While moving the bamboo stalks, she observed what the other party did first.

Zhang Qing used the oilcloth covered with materials to build an awning. This is the experience taught to him by the craftsman Xiao Zhao. Nowadays, the climate is hot and it is the rainy season. Even if the awning is not used to cover the rain, it can also protect the sun.

This is the benefit of having teachers to teach you. Wang Ge knew it well and started to build a shed. He first saw off four pieces of Osmanthus bamboo stalks, sharpened the bottom of each piece, stood on the cattail pile, and smashed the bamboo stalks into the ground with a wooden hammer.

Use twine to twist the rope and tie the four corners of the oilcloth to the bamboo stalks. In this way, a simple oilcloth shed is completed.

If you look at the entire examination room from above, at least two-thirds of the craftsmen are like Zhang Qing and Wang Ge.

Zhang Qing started to despise bamboo after building the shed. It seems that his real skill is bamboo weaving, not straw weaving.

Seeing that the other party had no other preparations, Wang Ge stopped paying attention to Zhang Qing.

To use bamboo to create crafts, you must first be familiar with the characteristics of various bamboo stalks in order to distinguish what they are best suited for.

Osmanthus bamboo: Because the bamboo has spots on its body, it is also called mottled bamboo. Their stalks have thick walls, heavy weight, high density, and tough bamboo, making them suitable for making scaffoldings, farm tools, and furniture.

Ci Bamboo: Because the old bamboos in Hsinchu grow in clusters, like mother and child dependent on each other, they are called Ci Bamboo. Their tips are curved and the pole walls are thin. They are often used to weave daily utensils. Ci bamboos that are two to three years old can be made into thin strips.

Bamboo silk is woven into very valuable handicrafts using bamboo needles and other tools.

In the past two months, Wang Ge has been practicing her skills using moso bamboo and sickles from the wild mountains as sniping knives. Whether making mats or baskets, what she wants to practice, or rather awaken, is the basic skill of "sliding".

It has been many years since she touched the special tools for bamboo weaving. Fortunately, they are not much different from those used in her previous life. This is the advantage of traditional craftsmen. If there are any tools missing, as long as there are substitute materials, you can make them yourself.

The first competition must be a sure success. It must not only show the solid basic qualities of the craftsman, but also have innovations that can attract the examiners.

One of her works is Miao Guizhu, weaving a combined measuring device: Dou, Sheng, He, and Qi. Measuring devices are a necessary tool for weighing grains in this era, ranging from the imperial court and the powerful to the poor and small households. It is important to

When weaving such items, firstly, the capacity must be accurately grasped; secondly, the container must be strong and durable, and the inside of the container must be smooth and flat. The grain must not be weighed out completely, otherwise there will be grain residue when it is poured out.
