Chapter 278: The Backer

n Luoyan felt stifled, so she went downstairs all the way. Unexpectedly, she saw a pair of twin beauties playing the piano downstairs. These twins were too beautiful; it was hard for her not to notice..."Have heard, have heard of the renowned Tiangji Pavilion, how could one not have heard of it..." 。I don't know if I've heard, but I also know that the master of Tiangiji Pavilion is called Yun Tianxi, and he has a son and a daughter named Yun Tianqing and Yun Tianzi. 。Qin Luoyan awkwardly smiled, she couldn't let him see through her ruse so she casually said some things she thought were common knowledge. 。Who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, Lao Liu widened his eyes. She didn't understand why Lao Liu reacted this way, so she just heard Lao Liu exaggeratedly pat her shoulder and said with a smile: "Good, Qin brother, you are indeed not an ordinary person, even knowing these secrets" 。"What secret" Qin Luoyan was stunned, a puzzled look on her face. Was there anything extraordinary about her Seeing her expression, Lao Liu was even more incredulous. He pointed at her with his finger and explained helplessly, "In your esteemed eyes, these probably aren't secrets at all. We ordinary folks, though, consider any tidbit of insider information from Tianji Pavilion to be a precious treasure." 。Don't even mention the given names of the Tianji Pavilion master's children. We ordinary people don't even know the real name of the Tianji Pavilion master. 。“Um…” Qin Luo’yan was a little speechless. She didn't expect her disguise to attract Lao Liu’s attention instead. However, how could she have guessed that for ordinary people, the Tianji Pavilion had already become so mysterious 。Lao Liu still wanted to say a few words to Kai, but just then the supervisor in the distance cleared his throat and was about to speak. People had gathered around by now, so the supervisor signaled for everyone to be quiet. 。"All of you are excellent artisans who came to participate in the assessment. As an official of the Ministry of War, I am 100% certain that everyone here is dedicated to their craft. However, what happened last night forces us to consider: an artisan not only needs extraordinary skills but also a righteous character." 。So, today the master specially ordered that, before we find out who the real murderer is, this assessment will be temporarily put on hold. 。You all can rest easy here for now. We have reported the murder to the authorities, and specialized constables will be arriving soon to investigate. 。After the foreman's speech, he left. As soon as he was gone, the yard erupted in chaos. 。Most of the artisans who came here for the assessment were lured by the silver reward. If they stayed here day and night without any work, what would be the point Especially when their families back home rely on them for money to survive. 。 Therefore, many people immediately expressed their desire to withdraw from this assessment. However, things were far more complicated than they imagined. Guards had already taken up positions at the entrance, stating that no one could leave the courtyard until the murderer was identified. 。The blacksmith, who was recommended by the person who called me here, is also trapped in the yard. 。For this outcome, Qin Luo smoke merely furrowed her brows. If she was trapped here and couldn't even enter the weapons workshop, let alone try to please that eccentric Lord Li. 。“Damn it, what the hell is going on!” Lao Liu patted his head anxiously. “Brother Qin, how do we handle this What if they can’t find the murderer Then we'll be stuck here forever! We don't mind, but delaying the master's affairs is a big deal.” 。"Don't worry, I think someone will be here to handle this soon." 。Qin Luo'yan wasn't as worried as he was, after all, her biggest backer was Emperor Fu Ziheng. She was getting close to Li by approaching Li on behalf of Fu Ziheng, so she believed that Fu Ziheng would definitely not ignore this matter. 。As expected, just before noon, a high-ranking official from the palace arrived with people to investigate the murder. 。And furthermore, the important officials from the palace also brought with them the Emperor's decree. It stated that the creation of weapons was a matter of great importance, and one must absolutely not delay the selection of artisans because of a killing incident. 。So in the afternoon, the weapon workshop's new recruit assessment was triumphantly held again. 。The new entrance exam is actually very simple. It just involves making a standard cavalry lance. The lances made will be sent to Master Fong, who will personally decide which of the participants will become a new apprentice blacksmith. 。This wasn't a challenge for Qin Luoyan, so she effortlessly finished a majestic and imposing spear within the given time. 。Seeing her skilled technique, Lao Liu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up from time to time. Even the foreman watching nearby couldn't help but have his eyes light up. 。After everyone finished making their own spears and returned, a special team packaged them up and brought them to the headman's courtyard. 。The courtyard of the blacksmith lived at the back of the armory. It was planted with all sorts of flowers and plants, but they clearly hadn't been carefully tended to. The weeds were growing rampant, severely affecting their beauty. 。In the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a gray robe was playing chess with a young man. The game seemed to be at a crucial point. The middle-aged man held a chess piece, his hand hovering in mid-air for a long time, unable to make a move. 。“Are you going to make a move or not” The young man was getting impatient, his face cold as he urged. 。“Down, down, of course…” Unfortunately, before the middle-aged man could finish his words, a group of people walked in carrying a large box. He got an idea and put the chess pieces back in the box, waving his hand and saying: “Forget it, I think we won't be able to tell who wins or loses for a while. Let's call it a day. I'm going to take a look at the spears made by those new craftsmen.” 。The middle-aged man found the most reasonable excuse for himself, got up with a smile on his face and walked towards the door. 。"He was just one move away from losing!" The young man gritted his teeth and hissed the words, clearly unhappy with the situation. 。A fleeting look of embarrassment flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but he still firmly left his seat. "Just because I lost one round doesn't mean I'm going to lose. Let's continue playing; maybe I'll even win in the end." 。But look, everything's here already, and I truly don't have time..." "You have the skin of a city wall, I really don't know how you, as the headman of this neighborhood, managed to get into that position." 。"The young man was none other than Li Yunfan." 。The head monk chuckled wryly, but didn't dare to speak. 。>

People who came to offer gifts seemed accustomed to such scenes. Even the head monk endured this Li, so what could his subordinates say

"These are things made by the new craftsmen" The head monk opened the box and casually took out a long spear. He weighed it in his hand, then threw it forward suddenly. The spear flew like an arrow and landed firmly on the ground in the distance.

From the way he gripped it, one could tell immediately that he was a former soldier. He continued in praise: "It's well-made, but perhaps a little too light." 。If you like "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan", please copy and paste the following URL to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!
