The dinner that day, the guests and the host and the guests had fun.

The next day, everything seemed to be as usual.

The relatively dense houses are lined up in rows, with chimneys standing on several roofs, and smoke constantly popping out of it.

The several houses with smoke from the chimney are very close. If pedestrians approach, they can even hear the "dangdang" sounds constantly coming from inside, as if they are hitting something with a hammer.

However, these houses, together with the surrounding courtyards, are guarded by many soldiers, and are not accessible to people.

And in the streets and alleys not far from the soldiers, you can find one or two figures from time to time. You walk carefully, walk very quickly, and keep exploring left and right.

Such sneaky behavior will soon be discovered, and then a few men in ordinary clothes suddenly rushed from the street, restraining the sneaky people and sending them aside.

Many people passing by were not surprised to see this scene, but instead looked like they were used to it.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sound came, and someone suddenly pushed open the gate of a yard.

The doors of these yards are made of fine iron, each of which looks particularly heavy, and the door bolt is wrapped with chains and locked with a large lock.

Because of this, every time the door is opened, a series of sounds will be made.

After the door opened, a whirl of steam immediately emerged from it, and a wave of heat suddenly came, causing the already hot weather to evaporate a little more.

A sweaty man walked out of the door. He was naked, holding his clothes in his hand, turned his head and said something to the two men in the door before leaving.

Compared with the two men in the door who looked powerful, this man who walked out was obviously much thinner, but his exposed body was covered with tendon flesh, as if he contained explosive power.

However, as the man used his clothes to wipe the sweat beads on his body and then put them on his shoulders, he covered his muscles.

After walking a few steps, he frowned slightly, then accelerated his pace, walked quickly in one direction, and moved faster and faster. After a few breaths, he went to a place to make friends, turned around and walked into it, took a few more steps, came to a door, and pushed it away.

"Here I'm back..."

In the door was a small courtyard, an old man was lying on a chair of the Grand Master, smoking a dry tobacco leisurely. When he saw the man coming in, he asked with a smile: "The situation in the workshop today is as original? Has the wrought iron the prefect wants to use ever been tempered?"

The man in clothes closed the door and put his hand into his sleeves, then said: "It has not been built yet. Compared with the past few, although it is more resilient, it is too unforced. If it is beaten slightly, it will immediately deform and lose its shape."

The old man said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, do it slowly. Since the prefect has not urged us, we don't need to work too hard... Don't say that the prefect has the ability. The Hu chair he invented is really comfortable to do. Our Ma family has been exploring and improving it for many years, but it is not as good as his idea. No wonder such a person can accomplish great things."

It turned out that the old man was Mashou, and the man who had just walked into the yard was his son Ma Fu.

The family was forcibly recruited by Chen Zhi due to a misunderstanding and conflict. After some twists and turns, they were forcibly recruited. It was the time when the war was covered with clouds, and then the conflict broke out. First, the Xianbei, and later even Wang Jun's men came. These Mo people who were forcibly recruited must have other thoughts in their hearts.

However, they were very strict in their care, and they had to temporarily reconcile their thoughts to build something for Chen Zhi.

Fortunately, Chen Zhi was not stingy and gave them a very generous reward. It was much higher than they had built in other places. Ma Shou and others thought that even if they were going to slip away, they would have to make a few more money first, so they did their best.

After the war, Huo Wu and single-sled cannon made meritorious contributions, and Chen Zhi rewarded Ma Su family with a small courtyard in the name of supervising the construction, so that they could settle down here.

With the complete victory of Dai County in the war, the security situation in the entire county has changed drastically, and the hearts of the people have also changed. Of course, the ideas of this member of the Mo family have also changed.

At least the old man, Ma Shou, felt that the Central Plains was not peaceful now, and he had to go back and pass the war-torn place in Jizhou. It was better to stay here now, and he had a home and a courtyard, and there were many conveniences and great rewards, so he had a real sense of stability.

Under the leadership of the old man, his son and nephew also restrained their thoughts.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that this morning, two people from the clan came to join," Ma Shou sat up slightly, "They were all miserable people. In Jizhou, their family was located in the chaos. I heard that there were still people from Jie who were tyrannical. They couldn't bear it. They took their wives and children north to go north. After knowing that we were here, they came to join. Tell Li and the others in the afternoon and let them arrange some work."

"Oh!" Ma Fu nodded. Because he had craftsmanship, he was born in the Mozhe family and had an old man who was giving advice, he was considered the number one figure in the craftsman team in Dai County, and was familiar with the Li brothers who really managed craftsmen. For such a matter, explain, ask about the origin of the person who defected to him, and confirm his innocence, he could arrange it, which was nothing.

Ma Shou is obviously satisfied with his current status.

After all, in the New Han Dynasty, the status of craftsmen was not high, and the lower they went to the south, and the more they went to the north, the more chaotic they became. When they arrived at the boundary of Hebei, they were even more muddy, and even their lives could not be guaranteed, let alone their status?

On the other hand, as the loser of the dispute over the prestige of academic studies, the Confucianism, which had not been in power for hundreds of years, was vigilant by the Legalists. When they think about it, they suppressed it, and if they had nothing to do, they would post articles to belittle it. Their social status and treatment were getting worse and worse.

In contrast, it was the most comfortable in Dai County. Even ordinary families still looked down on them and were polite at most. However, Chen Zhi was quite tolerant of him and the others, and the treatment he gave was good, which even made Ma Shu feel the dignity that he had long lost.

Especially when this kind of shelter the tribe.

After saying this, Ma Shou suddenly noticed that his son's expression was a little wrong, so he asked, "What? What else is there?"

Ma Fu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father, when I came back today, I felt like someone was following me."

Ma Shou shook his head disapprovingly and said, "What's the matter? Since the guns showed their power, we have been under strict supervision from inside and outside. Don't think we are not paying attention to them. Let's relax. The prefect will not give others an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"But this time, the people seem to be a little different, because I only noticed it a little and couldn't feel any trace." Ma Fu seemed to be still worried.

Ma Shou shook his head and comforted him, "Don't think so much, go eat something first, you have something to say to you for your father at the evening party." As he said that, he knocked the tobacco pole on the edge of the chair, cleared the tobacco and stood up.

Ma Fu nodded and took a step forward.

So the father and son walked into the room, and after crossing the threshold, they were stunned at the same time, without any movement for a long time.

In the room, there was already a person sitting in the seat of the hand, looking at the father and son with a smile on their face.

The two rooms confronted each other, and sweat immediately fell from Ma Shu's forehead, thinking about the origin and skills of this person.

He knew very well that his family seemed to be free, but in fact there were many good guards around this yard. These people not only prevented Ma Su and others from escaping, but also protected their safety.

"Often there is a turbulence, even if a chicken comes over by accident, it will be discovered by the guards outside. As a result, this person came to my lobby silently. There was no movement outside. In this way, this is definitely a dangerous person!"

Thinking about the purpose and origin of this person, Ma Shou and his son did not act rashly, and the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate.

"Mr. Ma, I have long admired Daming," just as the atmosphere became more and more serious, the other party spoke first, "I believe you know my purpose. If I want, you, your son, and everyone in the yard, will die today."

Ma Su was shocked all over, then glanced at the son beside him. Seeing that the latter was pale, he couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward and said, "Do you want to know the secret of a single-tie cannon?"

"Yes," the man stood up, and then the father and son realized that the man was very thin, but each was very tall, one head taller than an ordinary person, and his hair was casually scattered on his shoulders. At first glance, it looked like a large clothes hanger, but it brought a different sense of oppression.

Ma Shu's heart became more and more serious. With such a big figure, he could sneak into this place silently, which means that this person is indeed amazing!

So Ma Shou thought about it and chose to say truthfully: "If you want to know the news about the single sacred cannon, you really found the wrong person. That thing was originally from the prefect and was created by the prefect. We don't know the reason at all, let alone the construction of the single sacred cannon has nothing to do with my father and son. You also know that we joined before the war. The prefect cannot fully trust such an important thing. How can we covet such an important thing?"

He said, but in his heart he was thinking about how to inform people outside to come in for rescue. At the same time, his thoughts changed rapidly, thinking about various forces, who had such a person.

"If you are not an unknown person, there will definitely be many people who know which one is?"

"What Chen Zhi created?" the tall and thin man sneered, "Then he is really omnipotent. Do you think I will believe this?"

Ma Shu suddenly smiled bitterly and felt deeply. If it were the past, he would not believe it after hearing it for the first time and was about to explain it again.
