Chapter 292 Sima Tao's Imprisonment

"You've only killed a few enemy soldiers, how dare you yell at me?" Wang Ge showed all his momentum, and first stunned the scene: "When I faced the enemy and the rebels in Kuaiji Mountain, you were still hunting hares in the mountain! Sima Tao, I am arresting you as a Silitu soldier. You know that I must have signed a secret military agreement with Kuaiji County, but you have repeatedly provoked me to reveal the secrets of the agreement. What is your intention? I am not fooled I was slandered by you..."

"Who is slandering whom?"

"The official documents of the court will explain everything. You have to wait, don't worry!" Wang Ge put up the bronze medal of Sili Tubing, and watched the other party's face turn pale rapidly. "You only killed one enemy, and you spread it all over the city, and you still try to trap me in disloyalty? Sima Tao, I might as well tell you that those street thugs you sent to rob the rebel prisoner vehicles have been captured alive and taken to the Si State strict trial!"

Rob the rebels?Sima Tao was flustered by the countless gazes of horror and hatred. In fact, when he saw Si Li Tu Bing's bronze medal, his mind was completely confused. "I, I didn't let them... I don't know what you said?"

"Don't let them? It's just to admit that those people were ordered by you, and don't call yourself! Zou Sanli, Liu Langjun, please help me take him down! Is it wrong? I will tell the truth when I get to Sizhou Prison. It doesn't matter. The people disperse!"

The location of the Liaodong county office is the same as that of the county office, and it is also in Tingbei.The difference is that this is a dungeon, which is composed of several pits, several feet deep, where all spies and captives are held. Basically, they will not be held for too long. They will either be taken to Sizhou, or executed or tortured to death in the execution room. .

Even so, the prisoners are full.Sima Tao's status is special, so the wardens vacated an earthen room and only locked up Sima Tao.The proud young man never thought of entering such a place in his life. The trial of the royal family must be in the capital, but it is one thing to know the trial procedure, and another thing to stay in this dark place for how long.

There was a small window at the bottom of the prison door for delivering food, which was less than a foot long. The jailer tied the door tightly with a rope. During the process, Liu Qing kept looking at this window.It's so small, it's scary. "Sister Zou, will he be locked up for a long time?"

Mrs. Zou thought to herself: I really know the current affairs, and if I change my words, I will change my words. "Let's go up first. He is even more restless when he hears your voice."

"Yes." Liu Qing turned his head after a few steps, the candles in the passageway were sparse, and soon Guan Atao's position could not be seen.Only the sound of "bang bang" knocking on the door echoed, accompanied by the other party's howling: "Ah Qing, don't go, Ah Qing, Ah Qing..."

Above the dungeon, Wang Ge had finished discussing with Wuguan about taking care of Sima Tao.The official in charge of the county prison is actually a county lieutenant, but there is no county lieutenant in Liaodong County, and Xun Junshou is often not in Xiangping, so the prison affairs are all in charge of the "five officials".

"Excuse me." She bowed to the other party.

Zou Sanli and Liu Qing also bowed to each other, and they both nodded and went down the stairs.

Liu Qing followed Mrs. Zou, bowed first and then said: "Master Wang, according to the practice of the Sili Office, you have to escort Sima Tao to the capital."

"Yes. However, the time when the Xunjun will return to the city is uncertain, and I have only signed an official contract with the county office. I can only let Sima Tao stay in prison and wait for me for half a year...a year."

Liu Qing looked at Wang Geyuan's back, and lamented that she was really exhaustive.He sent people to send letters home, and it happened to be this time limit for him to go back and forth to Liaodong.At that time, no matter who pleads for mercy, she will go along with the flow and agree, just to save her from taking Ah Tao to the capital.

Lady Zou turned her head and saw Liu Qing was still standing where she was, not trying to get entangled, she wondered, "Liu Langjun looks very upright, how can he make friends with Sima Tao's temperament?"

Huanzhen mentioned this to Wang Ge.Although Sima Tao belonged to the royal family, his family background was not very rich, he was still a concubine, and he was not valued by his elders since he was a child, and the brothers who were concubines fought fiercely.After Liu Qing got acquainted with him, poor Sima Tao was always bullied, so he often took him to his home.After many years of relationship, it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are brothers.

"Who knows." Wang Ge changed the subject: "Sister, I have to ask you to tell Wang Shuzuo again that the grievances between me and Liu Langjun have been resolved, and if he still stays in Xiangping, it's none of my business."

"Okay. But about the Si Li Tu Bing, I guess the history of meritorious service has already known."

Wang Ge smiled: "Sister thinks I'm worried about this?"

if not?Could it be that the purpose of looking for Wang Shuzuo is really to exempt Liu Langjun from forced labor?

Wang Ge said in a low voice: "Silitu soldiers are different from ordinary officials, especially in border counties. Gongcao Shi and Wang Shuzuo have taken care of me like this. How can I hide it? It's better to say it later than to say it sooner. It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. I still want to Thank you Sima Tao."

Mrs. Zou's expression of astonishment was completely frozen, yes, it makes sense after thinking about it.

The two parted ways in front of the official house.

The courtyard was silent, Wang Ge moved the tools and wood in the courtyard, and first drew the model of the piston bellows on the ground.As long as she has meritorious service, she is afraid that the Si Li Tu soldiers will be exposed.To put it bluntly, if Sima Taoli's achievements are greater than hers, even if she reveals her identity as an apprentice, someone with status will soon appear to guarantee her release.

Wang Ge didn't know the shape of the blowers used by the blacksmiths in Sizhou City. She asked the blacksmith candidates in Kuaiji Mountain before, and the blowers used by the other blacksmiths were cowhide sticks.In his previous life, Wang Nanxing stayed in the countryside. When he saw the bellows, he looked up the information out of interest and was sure that it appeared in the Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty.

The difference between the bellows and the bellows is that the air inlet is bidirectional.And even if multiple leather sticks are used together, the air intake is one-way.

She has seen disassembled bellows, and it is not difficult to make it from memory. The difficulty lies in the way of assembly. She must use mortise and tenon joints, and mortise and tenon skills are her weakness.

Therefore, it is necessary to draw the dismantling picture, make molds again and again, and set the molds.She doesn't have to think about what kind of wood is the most suitable, as long as she presents the principle, the rest is left to the professional craftsman.Is it a kitchen craftsman, a blacksmith, or is there a dedicated blower craftsman?
After Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Zou entered the courtyard, they happened to see Wang Ge frowning and shaking his head.

Lady Zou coughed lightly.

She quickly got up and saluted.

Mrs. Duan looked at the ground with interest: "The county competition you applied for has been approved, and it will be announced at the city gate and every pavilion tomorrow."

"So fast, thank you Cao Shi!" Wang Ge was overjoyed, it was great, she was confident that she would win the first place.

"It is rare for carpenters to improve stoves. This year, the title of 'Liaodong Master' in the carpenter category is decided in this competition."

"Oh!" Wang Ge squeezed out his excited double chin.When she was in Shanyin County, she was fortunate to have participated in a "Master of Kuaiji" assessment, and knew that the title of "Master" was equivalent to the first place in two county competitions. "Thank you Cao Shi!"

Lady Duan waved her hand: "It seems that you know the function of this title, so don't waste it."

"Don't worry Gongcao Shi, what I want to improve is the flame blower..."

"I believe you, you don't need to explain to me. Miss Zou, look, this is a mockup? It's piece by piece, can you understand it?"

Mrs. Zou pursed her lips and smiled: "The painting should be a wooden board, why is it full of teeth?"

Wang Ge explained: "The teeth represent the tenons and grooves that are spliced ​​together. I have seen wind blowers used by blacksmiths. They must be pulled apart and pressed to blow fire once. The bellows I made are different. When you pull, you blow fire once, and when you push I can blow it once in a while."

Isn't it a stove?How did it involve iron smelting technology?Mrs. Duan knelt down: "Age, come on, tell sister carefully."

　Prison (àn): refers to prison.
