Chapter 256 Prototype
December 29.

Liu Jinsuo led the dog to the county government office, and saw Jiang Fan coming out of the door.

"Jiang Hook, when did you come back?"

Jiang Fan said: "I met the county captain as soon as I came back, didn't I just come out?"

"Your savior Daoist Yu is an assassin from the north, do you know?"

"I know you haven't been able to find it after searching for so long. The county captain said, leave this matter to me, and let you go back to the camp to arrange for the brothers to celebrate the New Year."

"What do you do?" Liu Jinsuo said: "It's up to you to do it, and Taoist Priest Yu must be let go."

Jiang Fan chuckled and said: "Give me the dog, you go to see the county captain first, and then go to the Qinxiang teahouse in the city to find me."

"No, why do I feel that you are different? Where have you been these few days?"

"Don't worry about it, it's not something you can do." Jiang Fan took the dog leash in his hand, and led a few people to the long street.

"Hey, this ginger hook..."

Liu Jinsuo scratched his head, and went into Li Xia's public room, where he saw Li Xia and Han Chengxu talking to several craftsmen.

"County lieutenant."

Liu Jinsuo just shouted, fixed his eyes, couldn't help but "wow", and said: "What a beautiful armor!"

Li Xia was wearing a pair of armor.This is the iron armor he stripped from the Mongolian army deputy Qianhu Nige who he killed last time, and it is woven with thin iron pieces on the leather.

He re-improved it, keeping the armor and leather parts, and replaced it with pockets, red tassels, shoulder swallows, capes, and wat belts, which looks heroic.

"It came just right." Li Xia pointed to another pair of armor on the table, and said, "You can change it on and see."

Liu Jinsuo was overjoyed, and took off his clothes on the spot, revealing the seven beautiful pictures of the golden gun battle all over his body, and then put on the newly made armor.

He is wearing the armor of a hundred generals, without the patterns on the pockets, shoulders, and wat belts, it looks a little simpler, but it is much more majestic than the armor of ordinary Xiangjun dutou.

Picking up the token on the table and looking at it, I saw that it was a copper lacquered wooden plaque with exquisite and beautiful lines. On one side was the word "Qingfuying" and on the other side was the word "Baijiang".

"County lieutenant, is this for me? It's so majestic, it's much more majestic than the head of the squad!" Liu Jinsuo was overjoyed.

He touched his waist, turned his head to look, and saw several boxes on the ground. He picked up the armor inside and looked at it. The armor was transformed from Mengzu's leather armor. It was still red-lined and leather-sewn. The texture of the iron sheet.

"Haha, this is for the brothers? It looks much more comfortable."

Han Chengxu said: "Considering that what we have the most is the armor seized from the Mongolian army. There are more than 300 pairs. Both leather and iron bars can be used, so it is easier to modify. In addition, our original leather armor can also be used reform."

Li Xia said: "That's right, let's change it according to this style."

They are all of the same style of armor, red cloth, black lacquered iron sheets attached to the leather, and there are differences in the details of the chief general, hundred generals, and even generals, which satisfies Li Xia's little obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Yes, if you want to remake more than a thousand pairs, leather and iron pieces, you need to wait for Qi'an to come back, and you need to build a workshop."

"Mr. Han only cares about building..."

Li Xia chatted with Han Chengxu for a while, and rewarded several craftsmen generously.

Liu Jinsuo didn't find the bronze mirror either, so he fumbled for the armor on his own, until Li Xia finished chatting with Han Chengxu and was still giggling.

"Okay, take it off."

"Hey, county lieutenant, you have to send it to me anyway, why take it off? I wear it as a new year's dress."

"This is a sample."

Liu Jinsuo didn't know what a "sample" was, but since Li Xia had said it in an orderly tone, he didn't dare to joke anymore and reluctantly took it off.

Just as he was about to put back on the old leather armor, Han Chengxu threw him a new jacket.

"The old leather armor is collected and remade."

"Oh."

The craftsmen put away their armor and carried the boxes out.

Li Xia didn't change his clothes, and asked, "You haven't caught Yu Dechen yet, are you planning to keep him for the New Year?"

"County lieutenant, I suspect that he escaped from the city, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find him."

Li Xia said: "Jiang Fan is back, let him search. You hand over to him."

"Huh? Then I lose face."

"You follow Mr. Han to distribute the new clothes to the river patrolmen and collect the old leather armor. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there are many chores in the camp, so you help San Bao."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinsuo felt that doing these things would be happier, and said loudly, "Okay!"

Han Chengxu smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm busy today."

"Mr. Han, I'll go to Jiang Fan first."

"Let's go together, I'll order two more cars of wine to the camp."

"Really?! That would be great!"

"New Year's Eve..."

~~
Qinxiang Tea House.

This place was originally the property of the Zhang family, and Zhang Shifei often negotiated business with people here.

Yan Yunyun didn't do anything else in the past few days, and took over the teahouse to run it.

She believes that there are some things that Li Xia should not come forward, nor should he discuss in the county government.

On this day, she was talking with the shopkeeper of the Lu family in the private room of the teahouse.The shopkeeper's name was "Lu Gui", he was over forty years old, and his temperament was much more refined than Du Zhixin's.

"I heard that... for some matters in the county, you can ask shopkeeper Yan?" Lu Gui asked slowly, with a tentative tone.

Lu Gui begged to see Li Xia for several days, but Li Xia didn't see him.He didn't come here until he stopped Han Chengxu on the road yesterday and got advice from Han Chengxu.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of this matter was a strange woman with half of her face burned.

Holding the teacup, Yan Yunyun stood at the window and looked at the two salt shops diagonally across the street, and said directly, "Is that salt shop going to open soon?"

Lu Gui knew that he had indeed found the right owner, and said, "Yes, that's smuggled salt from a foreign country. Qingfu County is the provincial government, so no one can openly sell smuggled salt."

"I heard that people sell official salt, and there are salt guides."

"It's just a stone of official salt." Lu Gui said, "This is too blatant."

Yan Yunyun said: "Then I don't know, I run a teahouse, not a salt seller."

"Ming people don't talk dark words. Is it true that the county doesn't pay the private salt? If it really doesn't, I have to sue the transshipment department."

Yan Yunyun sat down with a teacup in his hand, and said without hesitation, "If it's really private salt, the county will of course have to pay it."

She, a woman from a family background, actually spoke in an official tone, and said again: "But, do you have any evidence that he is a private salt?"

Lu Gui smiled, took out a box, and said, "Shopkeeper Yan, please have a look, is this evidence..."

~~
Jiang Fan sat in the tea house for a while, and saw a richly dressed middle-aged man coming down the stairs.

Then he got up and went into the private room, only to see Yan Yunyun holding a small box and looking at it.

"Miss Yan, the county captain asked me to come see you."

Jiang Fan took out a booklet, put it on the table, and said: "This is the list of Wutong's salt wells and shopkeepers I found out. Mr. Han asked me to give it to you. You can read it yourself."

As Jiang Fan said, he took a look at Yan Yunyun.

After he came out of the army, he knew that in the future, he would probably do some secret murders and investigations for the county captain, such as killing Wu Tong.

As for running various businesses, he doesn't know it at all, and he is not interested in learning. He thought it would be done by Han Qi'an, but he didn't want to be replaced by Yan Yunyun, a woman this time.

woman?can do these?

Yan Yunyun seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Boss Jiang is finally back. Mr. Yining went to Xuzhou, this time I will cooperate with you... just like the last time I dealt with the Zhang family."

Jiang Fan grinned, because the last sentence relieved a lot of worries, and said: "Hey, I just kill people."

"Then you and I will cooperate more in the future."

"Okay." Jiang Fan pointed to the box in Yan Yunyun's hand with a hook, and asked, "This is?"

"Money. It was given by the Lu family. It's three hundred guan." Yan Yunyun drew a pen and ticked off the account, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have recorded it in the account."

Jiang Fan said: "Stingy, Wu Tong plans to give the county captain six thousand guan a year."

"Stingy and generous, they are almost dead. Bantou Jiang, let's sit down and talk. Do you want to sit on my left or on my right?"

"What's the difference?" Jiang Fan was stunned, sat down opposite Yan Yunyun, and said, "Tell me, how do we do it?"

……

After chatting with Yan Yunyun, Jiang Fan went downstairs, led the dog, and summoned two people to tell him: "Take people to Lu's house and Yin's house to search it. They say that someone saw the assassin from the north fleeing nearby, and let them go again." A few things are in their house..."

"understood."

After explaining this matter, he left the teahouse and saw Liu Jinsuo striding over.

"Hey, Jiang Gouzi, the county captain really entrusted you with the task of hunting down Daoist Yu? I'm not afraid that you will let him go."

"The county lieutenant can trust me." Jiang Fan said: "Let's go, take me around the county and see how you search."

"I've searched countless times, but there's no clue at all." Liu Jinsuo took out a map from his pocket, and pointed while walking.

"Look, the county government is here... I chased him and ran here... But after so many days, I'm afraid I have escaped from the city..."

Jiang Fan followed him around the county and said, "Okay, I'll look for it. I'm more familiar with this county, and many people can help me inquire about it. Don't make things difficult for you, you fool."

"You are a fool!"

"Hey, I'm stupid, you see I catch people in a few days."

"By the way, I heard that you are not a river patroller? What a pity, let me tell you, it will be adapted soon. The county captain just made us a suit of armor, which is so majestic."

"Brother Liu." Jiang Fan grinned and said, "Where did you get the money to make the armor?"

As he spoke, he hooked the hook on the dirt wall next to him, and said: "Someone should go and hook the money back for you."

~~
Li Xia changed his armor, thinking that tomorrow would be New Year's Eve, he reviewed the year a little bit, and finally thought of the arrangements for the past few days, and murmured.

"Barracks, staff, spies, business...the four small teams have taken shape..."
