Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Ouyang Shaozheng rushed to a long way and finally arrived near the last blacksmith shop. (This chapter was uploaded by netizens on the Internet)

Ouyang looked at the topographic map of Daoxue Town and then looked at the address. He was sure that was right, but this location was really confusing as a blacksmith shop. There was a large bamboo forest in front of him, and a dilapidated house could be seen from afar.

"Sure enough, everyone has their own preferences. There will be a deal for the blacksmith shop that is so far away?" Ouyang frowned, "It looks more appropriate to be here to live in seclusion."

"Go and have a look." Zhan Zhao walked around the bamboo forest and found a path that was only enough for one person to pass through, and wanted to walk in.

After passing through almost half of the bamboo forest, I finally arrived in front of the small thatched hut.

There are two thatched huts, one is the main house. It seems to be the owner's. The door is closed and there is no light. There is a small shed next door, surrounded by black cloth on all sides. There is a faint light from inside, and you can also hear the "ding ding dangdang" iron tools knocking.

Everyone looked at each other - there was a door, at least ten is really a blacksmith shop.

It seems that it is not good to lift the curtain and break in, so Zhan Zhao shouted politely, "Is anyone? Trouble."

But Zhan Zhao asked twice, but no one replied, but the "ding ding dangdang" sound of smashing iron did not stop.

Everyone was a little surprised. Could it be that the one who smashed the iron was a deaf person?

There was no choice but to break in. Zhan Zhao had a very good light skills and walked around the shack surrounded by black cloth, but couldn't find the entrance.

Ouyang saw an iron basin on the ground next to him and several hammers, and he reached out and picked it up and smashed it, "Someone doesn't have it!"

...

Don’t say, as soon as the movement was disturbed, I heard the jingling sound of smashing the iron shop and stopped.

After a long time, I saw the black cloth being pulled and walked out alone.

The man was wearing a thick cotton suit, an iron mask on his face, tied with a hemp rope behind his head, and there were two holes in the mask, and two eyeballs behind the hole were staring at everyone.

This dark and lit up, the three masters couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths - what a personality blacksmith!

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao wanted to ask him, but he saw the other party reaching out to take off his mask, taking off his cotton jacket, and wearing only a single cloth shirt inside, which was already soaked in sweat.

Although it is not the day now, the weather is not cooler. Why do you wear so much?

The man had a dark face and went to the side to wash his face. He wiped it and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Uh, let's find a blacksmith..." Ouyang said, staring at him.

This person is no longer young, he must be in his forties or fifties. He is very energetic and has a strong figure, and he seems to be an old blacksmith, but... Why does Ouyang think he looks familiar?

The man washed his face, went into the room and took out a big cup. It seemed to be herbal tea inside. He looked at everyone while drinking, and finally his eyes fell on Ouyang Shaozheng's bright red head and said, "It's all so high, it seems that I'm really old."

...

Everyone was silent for a moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched Ouyang Shaozheng together - did you know each other?

Ouyang stared at him for a long time, suddenly remembered himself, and opened his mouth in surprise, "You are Tan Jin?!"

...

Ouyang dialect, it was Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang's turn to be surprised.

"Tan Jin?" Bai Yutang stared at him.

The man smiled, asked the three of them to come into the house and sit down, poured them tea, which was quite kind.

Then he sat down, "What are you looking for me?"

Everyone looked at each other, as if they were pushing someone to say first.

Ouyang asked, "The prince is here, I want to ask you something, do you know some of the strange hematite?"

Ouyang asked hintedly, and Tan Jin frowned slightly, without saying a word, but his face changed. He took another sip and asked Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang, "Where are you two? What's your business to me?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "I came with Lord Bao, but he was looking for you..." As he said that, he pointed to Bai Yutang.

"Mr. Bao..." Tan Jin smiled, "I really miss you." After saying that, he looked at Bai Yutang again, "I really don't want to know you."

"I'll find Yang Caisheng's body." Bai Yutang asked, "Do you have any clues? It can be considered to be killed by you."

Tan Jin frowned a little longer, and opened his mouth as if he was hesitating for a moment, but finally closed his mouth and sighed.

"I didn't kill Yang Caisheng. To be precise, I don't know how he died." Tan Jin said, "He left after stabbing me, but I want to thank him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have survived."

Everyone frowned, as if puzzled.

"Yang Caisheng assassinated you and helped foreign spies. This is a record of the case. Why do you say there is no such thing?" Zhan Zhao asked while looking at Bai Yutang - who was the person with the tattoo on his face?"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, as if he was a little puzzled.

"What happened back then was a long story." Tan Jin asked Ouyang Shaozheng in confusion again, "What did hematite just now?"

Ouyang thought for a while and asked him, "Two years ago, did Daoxu Town produce a batch of hematite ore, and something happened later..."

"That batch of iron ore is not useful!" Tan Jin waved his hand and interrupted Ouyang, "Why are you in a hurry to use iron ore? There is no war now, what are you doing..."

"No, I just want to ask, did you help solve the matter back then?" Ouyang asked.

Tan Jin was silent for a moment, nodded, and then looked at Ouyang, "The Ninth Prince ran to Daoxa Town from afar. Could it be that something happened in the army?"

Ouyang laughed dryly, "Mr. Tan is still a smart person as always."

Tan Jin waved his hand, "I am no longer Lord Tan, but speaking of it, the hematite incident has something to do with Yang Caisheng's case."

Everyone was even more confused when they heard this. The two things were quite different, so why did they get together?

"Let's go." Tan Jin stood up, "I haven't seen Lord Bao and the Prince for many years. Go and have a visit and then explain the matter clearly. Maybe I can help."

"Oh, that's the best." Ouyang stood up, Tan Jin turned off the lights and brought him to the door. Just as he was about to go out with Zhan Zhao and the others, Bai Yutang suddenly reached out and pushed him. Zhan Zhao raised his hand and blocked the front with Juque... Two dinging sounds, two darts flashing with blue light fell to the ground.

Everyone took a look and frowned - it was the hidden weapon that attacked Zhao Pu before. It seemed... the men in black were lying nearby.

Ouyang touched his nose and whispered to Bai Yutang, as if he was signaling to a certain direction in the forest - someone!

When Bai Yutang saw his expression, he raised his hand and flew out two black jade locust stones. He heard two hums, and two men in black fell down on the bamboo forest.

Ouyang turned around and looked elsewhere. Bai Yutang wanted to take out the black jade locust stone, but Zhan Zhao pulled his sleeve.

Bai Yutang looked back at him.

Zhan Zhao shook his head in disapproval, and then took out a pack of things to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang opened it and saw a pack of peanuts, or the kind with snowflake candy. He looked at Zhan Zhao in confusion.

Zhan Zhao took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and threw it casually, which meant - it was all in one go!

Bai Yutang was so amused that he grabbed two handfuls of candies and turned around the bamboo forest... After throwing it, at least a dozen people fell down.

"It's so useless!" Ouyang shook his head with his arms in his arms, "It's just a little bit of kung fu that has the face to attack."

"At this time, there seemed to be movement in the depths of the bamboo forest, but it disappeared quickly. It seemed that there was still someone in the dark and had already escaped.

"It's not too late, go back quickly." Ouyang Yi pulled Tan Jin, "Fortunately we came earlier, otherwise you would be in trouble!"

Tan Jin frowned slightly, "I have lived here for so many years, but no one knows who I am, and no one has ever caused trouble for me. What's going on..."

Zhan Zhao moved quickly and pointed the acupoints to the group of men in black on the ground.

Speaking of which, Zhan Zhao's acupuncture point is the same as his lightness skills. Not only can his acupuncture point move, but he can also lock acupuncture point. Generally, if the internal strength cannot reach the master, once he clicks the acupuncture point, he can only wait for him to untie the acupuncture point, otherwise no one can solve it.

Everyone did not delay much and rushed back to the yamen.

I heard that Tan Jin had found it, Bao Zheng and Pang Ji were also surprised. When they came out, they found that it was Tan Jin from that year.

Tai Shi Pang and Tan Jin are quite familiar with each other. He was very optimistic about this young man, thinking that he had a bright future, but later he made such a confused mistake. But now, he saw that although Tan Jin was old, his spirit was better than before.

"The Grand Master is here too?" Tan Jin was quite surprised. He politely saluted Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang. When he saw Zhao Pu, he even gave a big gift.

Zhao Pu was walking out from behind and went up to help him... Looking back at the time, he was a young man, but now his temples are gray. Zhao Pu touched his chin and calculated that he should be in his forties. Why is he so vicissitudes? He couldn't help but feel sorry for him when he heard that he was a blacksmith.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are outsiders and do not interfere much, but no matter how you look at it, you don’t think Tan Jin is like a thief who steals a knife.

It is inevitable that after a greeting, Zhan Zhao took the opportunity to ask Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to carry all the men in black in the bamboo forest back. These are all alive and before they can commit suicide, they can speak. They can pull their teeth first when they carry them back.

After another gap, Zhan Zhao went over and asked Zhao Pu, "How is it? Have Gongsun forgiven you?"

Zhao Pu twitched his lips twice, "Don't mention it."

"He won't forgive you?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "No, it's useless for Xiao Sizi to plead for you?"

Zhao Pu Wangtian, at this time, Gongsun came over behind him with Xiao Sizi. Xiao Sizi was still holding a piece of sesame cake in his hand, as if she was hungry and got up to have a midnight snack.

Seeing Gongsun smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Pu, "Or what I'll tell you?"

Zhao Pu smiled. Zhan Zhao is really a friend, and he doesn't bother with it, and he is not afraid of offending others. He helps others to mediate misunderstandings. Now fewer and fewer people are willing to do this.

But...

Zhao Pu shook his head and said to Zhan Zhao, "I think it's basically impossible to save it, just do it."

Zhan Zhao was stunned. Bai Yutang heard it behind him and asked, "So serious?"

Seeing that Gongsun had arrived in front of the door, Zhao Pu winked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and whispered, "Do you have an experiment."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - what experiment?

Zhao Pu reached out and touched the head of Xiao Sizi in Gongsun's arms, "Little Sizi, are you having midnight snack?"

"Yeah, that's it?" Xiao Sizi nodded.

Zhao Pu then asked, "Why don't you tell me your father to eat something? Look at him losing weight..."
