I have a volume of demons

Chapter 32 Is this an extrajudicial fanatic?
Xie Changgui was terrified by the man in front of him shouting loudly that he wanted to smelt copper.

Even though he was wearing a public uniform, it was too bold!
"My lord, this copper is not for smelting! We are a serious blacksmith shop and do not smelt copper."

It can't be helped that Xie Changgui was not afraid to smelt copper privately, and if he was caught, it would be a matter of losing his head. Therefore, even though Lin Yi threw a bag of gold ingots and hit the table with a dull sound, he didn't dare to take it without authorization. this live.

Ji Dong didn't care about his refusal, and said calmly: "The shopkeeper is humble, I believe you have this strength, right!"

With that said, Jiong Yi took out one piece of gold ingots from the bag, ran his nails across the middle, and divided the one ingot into two pieces.

Mr. Xie Changgui was dumbfounded, is this gold or yellow mud?
Ji Dong threw one of them to him, and said slowly: "This half is a deposit. After the matter is completed, I will give you the other half. Is there a problem?"

Ji Dong also knew that casting copper was more difficult than casting iron, so it would definitely break the law to smelt copper privately, but this blacksmith shop was so prosperous that it was breaking the law, as long as you paid more, there was nothing else you couldn't do.

Of course, it is also necessary to show one's own force.

Xie Changgui was taken aback for this way of dividing the gold with his hands, he put the gold in his mouth and bit it, it was soft and soft, but this official can break the gold with one finger, he is definitely a formidable person.

He could only apologize and said with a smile: "My lord, you misunderstood. This is not a question of money. The main reason is that casting copper is a taboo. Raw materials are hard to come by. It is not easy for us to dredge the relationship."

"Tell me, how much more?"

"A thousand catties of copper is exchanged for three hundred gold."

Lin Yi silently calculated in his mind that copper coins in this era weigh about three grams, and only one-third of them are copper. According to this ratio, one tael of gold is equal to ten thousand coins. pounds of copper.

100 taels of gold can be exchanged for two thousand catties of copper. This profiteer has doubled it six times!
Taking into account production costs and wages, he can make a lot of money if he doubles it three times, and if he doubles it six times, it's a win-win situation.

They won twice.

Lin Yi looked at Xie Changgui unkindly, and smiled slightly: "Is this price negotiable?"

"My lord, there is nothing we can do about it. Copper smelting is a serious crime of confiscating one's family and exterminating one's family. If you don't pay enough money, who is willing to sacrifice their lives?"

"What you said is very reasonable. Three days later, I want to see the things on these two blueprints. Remember, don't adulterate them. Otherwise, the money I gave to buy my life will really kill me."

After finishing speaking, Ji Dong handed over the drawings of the Faraday cage and the lightning rod to the shopkeeper, took out half of the gold ingots from the purse, put them on the counter, turned and left calmly.

Xie Changgui looked at Ji Dong's drawings with a puzzled expression.

The lightning rod is okay to say, although it looks a little strange, it is not impossible to do it.

But this cage...

Well, let the craftsmen work overtime!

He recruited a servant and said: "Let the craftsmen temporarily stop their other work, and divide into two shifts day and night to make these two utensils. In addition, find someone to find out who the person just now is from."

"Yes."

The servants quickly went to work. To open such a large blacksmith shop, the energy behind it is naturally not small. After a while, the information about Ji Dong was sent to Xie Changgui.

"A policeman Jing Yesi is so rich? There must be something wrong here."

Xie Changgui knew that this was not an easy matter, and he told his craftsmen to rush to work overnight to make the thing, while he went to the county guard's mansion.

This blacksmith's shop is nominally his Xie Changgui's property, but in fact, [-]% of the shop's income goes to the county guard, [-]% goes to the county magistrate who is in charge of the county soldiers, and the other [-]% goes to the gentry.

Therefore, in Xingsha County, as long as the county guard and the county gentry did not fall together, no one could touch the blacksmith shop.

Even so, Xie Changgui did not directly steal Lin Yi's money, he arranged for someone to do the work first, and immediately reported to the Sheriff's Mansion.

The transaction amount of three hundred gold is not a small sum, the big boss must know.

When he arrived at the sheriff's house, the butler led him to the sheriff's study through the side door. Xie Changgui always bowed his head slightly, maintaining enough respect.

After entering the room, he made another long bow: "Caomin Xie Changgui pays respects to old parents."

"Longgui, don't be too polite."

The county guard, Wang An, is a rather elegant middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, a handsome face, electric eyes, majestic and restrained, looks gentle and amiable, and makes people dare not be contemptuous.

"Changgui is here, what's the matter?"

"My lord, there is indeed a trivial matter. The grass-roots people can't make up their minds, so I want to ask you to explain it."

Xie Changgui did not procrastinate, and explained what happened today one by one in an orderly manner. After finishing speaking, he presented the copied blueprint and the collected gold.

Wang An briefly looked at the blueprint, but didn't understand what this thing was for.

Of course, this can't be a weapon, maybe it's a strange magic weapon, but it's not like something a monk in the sun can do.

Wang An simply didn't think about it anymore, other information was more important.

Didn't Jingyesi and Lin Yi happen to be the one who saved Wang Liang?
Wang An still had an impression of this, and he picked up the gold ingot to play with it again, and couldn't help but sneer.

"These gold ingots all come from the Sheriff's Mansion."

As soon as he touched it, it came out.

There are regulations on gold ingots, but when Wang Liang was tied up, Wang An had to consider multiple situations, including the gold itself.

This was specially made by the Sheriff's Mansion, and it looked no different from ordinary gold ingots. In fact, the gap in the middle of the horseshoe gold specially made by the Sheriff's Mansion was not in the middle.

You can't see anything with the naked eye, but you can feel the difference by touching it with your hands.

In other words, this bag of gold ingots was the ransom from the night before.

It's definitely provocative to take it out for consumption so quickly, and even pick it up in the shop he controls for consumption!
"Then Ji Dong is so bold that he dared to steal something from the Sheriff's Mansion?"

Xie Changgui was also shocked. Before that, he only thought that Lin Yi was so bold that he came to smelt copper in official uniform. How arrogant is that?
The sheriff doesn't dare to do this, okay!
Now it seems that his pattern is still small.

Using the money earned from kidnapping the county sheriff's son to buy things from the county sheriff's family is really an outlaw lunatic.

"Do you think what you saw was Ji Dong?"

Holding the gold ingot, Wang An didn't give him too much analysis, but said: "The time limit he gave you is three days, then, after three days, you can deliver the goods on time, I want to see who the hell is it?" , dare to bully me on the head."

"Yes."

Xie Changgui took the order to retreat, while Wang An looked at another secret letter.

"The second young master met Lin Yi and had a great chat. They went to the Yunyu Building to drink together."

This secret letter was sent by a secret agent an hour ago.

Because of the ransom, he had already beaten Wang Liang, but the whereabouts of the money was still unknown.

Five thousand gold, for the county guard's mansion, is not considered a wound, but it is also a pain in the flesh.What made Wang An even more angry was that the face of the Wang family was slapped.

Although Wang Liang didn't live up to expectations, he was still his son, and if he beat Wang Liang, he beat Wang An.

If he doesn't get his place back this time, what face does he have in Xingsha County?

Before he had any clues, he first stared at his own stupid cub.

In case he really cheated...

Not much to say, first break one leg and let him lie down for half a year.

I just didn't expect that there would be clues so soon.

He was also worried that it was a Jiangyang bandit who would run away after the robbery, so there was really nothing he could do.

However, the Lin Yi Xie Changgui mentioned, when he should have appeared in the blacksmith shop, there was another Lin Yi drinking with Wang Liang.

"Oh, interesting. I'd like to see what tricks you're up to!"
