Daming Yinghua

Chapter 130 Magnets

Zheng Haizhu asked everyone to throw sticks, put four pieces of magnetite in a cloth bag, and handed it to Li Daniu to carry it.

Not long after the four of them walked along the mountain, they heard voices in the valley not far from the front left.

"It seems to be three or four people, it doesn't matter." Wu Bangde said.

They got closer, and gradually heard the people inside discussing with excitement: "Zhang Jing should reward us, so much coal. Ancestor Maitreya showed his spirit."

Suddenly, a man crawled out of the pit, his eyes were hanging and his nose was snubbed. When he saw Zheng Haizhu and others, he was taken aback: "Where did you come from!"

Wu Bangde said unhurriedly: "Oh, we are here to visit Yasheng's hometown, and we have disturbed the villagers."

The man asked, "Who?"

The two companions in the pit also climbed up at this time, and a skinny man laughed at Diao Yanshao: "People are talking about Mencius."

Diao Yan rolled his eyes: "I haven't studied, so I don't have a good life like these rich men. It's good for me to have something to eat."

But after all, he saw clearly that Wu Bangde and Zheng Haizhu were not like poor households, and there were two people who looked like maids and servants behind them, so he didn't dare to show his brutal appearance, so he said in a low voice: "This is the king of Lu." Chaishan, you can’t come in. There’s no Mencius’ house here, so hurry up and leave.”

Wu Bangde cupped his hands: "It turned out that we went wrong, so let's go forward and go down the mountain."

This time, the three men showed signs of resistance, and the skinny man among them was more amiable, and said softly: "My lord, we are patrolling the mountains for the Lu Mansion, so we must follow the rules of the mansion. Since we have encountered each other, we can't let it go." I'll let you go around in the mountains, go back, and go along the river to the charcoal kiln, and you can hire a cart."

Zheng Haizhu pretended to be curious: "My fellow, is there no way to go down the mountain?"

Diao Shaoyan said impatiently: "No, you go back to the other side of the river."

Wu Bangde showed the look of calming down and persuading Zheng Haizhu: "Listen to my fellow villagers and go."

……

The four left a certain distance and returned to the shale near the forest. Zheng Haizhu looked back to see that the three patrollers hadn't followed, and said to Wu Bangde: "The one in the pit is probably the small coal hole that the Boshan people explored." , People called Lu Wangfu found out today."

Mu Zaohua at the side frowned and said, "I don't know if those people were hired by Lu Wangfu to patrol the mountain, but they seem to be taught by Wen Xiang. Just now they said Zhang Jing Zhang Jing, I suspect it is" The word "hand scripture" is used, because they also mentioned Patriarch Maitreya, which is also a bluff by the Wenxiang Sect."

"The Palm Sutra? What is the Nine Lotus Sutra?" Zheng Haizhu asked.

When she visited Zhu Yipai and his wife, she also asked Wen Xiangjiao with a moderate sense of righteous indignation. Zhu Yipai said that when the congregation rioted, they relied on the "Nine Lotus Sutra".

Mu Zaohua said: "It should be that one. When I was dragged into the religion by a fellow villager last year, the fellow villager said that Xu Tianshi made fellow villagers from the same village form a meeting, and each meeting will be the leader, pass on the head, and master the scriptures."

Wu Bangde pondered and said: "I didn't expect this Wenxiang sect to grow up so quickly. I thought it was only Hebei, Tianjin and Lubei. In the past few days, we have met Wenxiang sect members three times in a row."

Zheng Haizhu said: "The left and right want to make friends with your highness, and frankly confess the plan to open a coal mine. It's still early today, so let's go to the General Yasukuni's mansion again, just to talk about today's suspicious mountain patrollers. If they are nothing In the same way, we are not harming them, but let the Lu Palace know that they guard the mountain well and are very responsible."

The four of them quickened their pace and hurried on their way.

At the foot of the mountain, I saw a row of mules parked at the pass, with bulging sacks on both sides of their backs.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was beating the only mule pulling a wooden cart, yelling at the animal for pulling the cart out of the mud.

Wu Bangde said to Li Daniu: "Go, go help this kid."

Li Daniu handed the burden he was carrying to Zheng Haizhu, followed him, and Mu Zaohua also went to help.

Zheng Haizhu walked to the mules who were hurrying to chew the last bit of grass root on the ground, wanting to see what was in the sack.

Suddenly, the bag in his hand seemed to be pulled by a sharp pulling force, leaning towards the bottom of the sack.

Zheng Haizhu subconsciously covered the burden and stared suspiciously at the sack.

The dirty sack was covered with unevenness by the contents inside, and the surface of the sack was covered with sawdust and black ash.

And the conversation between Wu Bangde and the boy came at the same time.

"Little brother, your family is a charcoal worker?"

"It's Brother Li, my uncle and father will burn charcoal for the palace, and my uncle and I will transport it to the palace."

"Your family?"

"No, no, ten kilns take turns, today is my home."

After hearing this, Zheng Haizhu thought, is there charcoal in the sack?
Saying that coal is magnetic is enough to challenge her common sense of physics. She would never believe that charcoal can be attracted by the magnetite in her luggage.

There should be metal in the sack.

Zheng Haizhu turned his body sideways to block the sack, stretched out his hand, and weighed it very carefully.

The sack is very heavy. According to experience, if it is this size of charcoal, it will not be this weight.

Zheng Haizhu secretly took out a piece of magnetic ore and tried to swim away from the bottom of the sack.

As soon as it was pasted, it was attracted, but after all, the raw magnet stone was not that pure through the linen cloth, so a single piece of magnetic ore did not have that strong suction.

Zheng Haizhu controlled the strength of his wrist and came up with a somewhat surprising result.

The metal inside is quite long, estimated to be two feet.

Zheng Haizhu changed a mule and continued to test with magnetite calmly.

It is also metal and has a considerable length.

Iron rod?Iron gun head?sword?
When she was thinking about it, she heard the young man yelling and waving not far away: "Second Uncle!"

When the two sides met each other, they were all stunned for a moment.

The one who was called the second uncle by the young man was the eye-catching tip on the mountain just now.

The look of vigilance in the corners of the hanging eyes had just revived on the face, and the big mule cart had already got out of the mud pit with the concerted efforts of several people.

The boy kept bowing to Wu Bangde to thank him.

Wu Bangde turned around, saw the hanging eyes, and smiled with ease: "So this child belongs to your family."

Diao Yan gave a vague hum, but his eyes turned to Zheng Haizhu's group of mules.

Zheng Haizhu also smiled and praised: "The male doll from the hometown is very capable, and he can fight such a big battle at a young age."

Diao Yanshou's mouth twitched: "Thank you young lady for your compliment."

He withdrew his gaze, but stared at his nephew firmly.

The boy's face froze, and he stammered suddenly: "Who, did you bring your car here?"

Zheng Haizhu said in harmony: "Aren't you going to Lu Wang's mansion? Or, use your mule cart to drive us back to Yanzhou City, and pay your family the fare. I'm tired too, and I don't want to see Meng's mansion anymore."

When she said the last sentence, she looked at Wu Bangde.

Wu Bangde understood, reached out his hand to take out the money bag in his arms, and replied "Okay, I will pay the fare".

"I can't, I can't," Diao Yan put on an ugly smile, but his tone showed a hint of panic, "The charcoal carts of our countrymen are so dirty, how can we carry a few distinguished guests. I'll go to the front Zhuangzi right now. Find a big cart for some of you."

Today Zheng Haizhu hired a cart from Yanzhou City to come here. Because he didn't want to cause trouble, he paid the coachman for the return trip and asked the coachman to leave Chaitan Mountain.

Now, she has tried the reaction of Diao Yanshu, and she has further speculations about the doubts in her heart, and she will not take the car called by Diao Yanbiao.

Then she nodded amiably: "That's right, you still have errands, so you have to rush to catch the car. My husband and I can go to the village to find a car."

Wu Bangde put on a submissive face, raised his eyes and cupped his hands with the young man: "My fellow, we will meet later."
