wind and rain scissors shop

Chapter 73-73. Joint Questioning
Zheng Yuansheng stared at Zhou Changkui in amazement. In the past, the Armed Forces Academy only tried cutting once, but now it has exceeded the standard after two trials. He needs to try cutting again for the third time and change the cloth.What is Zhou Changkui going to do?
The No. 2 cloth was carried out quickly, and the government officials unfolded it.

Everyone saw that the No. 2 cloth was a layer of fine cloth and a layer of silk overlapping layers, about half an inch thick, and began to whisper.

Zhou Changkui observed Tian Erya's expression, and found that her expression became more nervous when she saw the No. 2 cloth, and raised her eyebrows: "Start trial cutting."

The master held the big scissors, pointed at the cloth and cut it, and the cloth broke with a sound.He announced loudly: "The scissors do not snag or connect wires. It is qualified."

Tian Erya breathed a sigh of relief, her body softened.

Zhou Changkui clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! This girl, get up quickly, what's your name?"

"Tian Erya." Her nervous tongue grew louder, and her voice became vague.

"what?"

Wu Xiangrong smiled and said, "Master Zhou, she said her name is Tian Erya, one, two, three, two, the servant girl."

Zhou Changkui stared at Tian Erya: "The cloth tested this time is obviously thinner and less than before. Why are you more nervous than before?"

"My lord, the scissors forged by Minnv are more than twice the size of ordinary scissors. The blades are thicker, and the tip is thicker than ordinary scissors. Although Minnv makes the scissors with rounded heads, she is afraid of cutting cloth or silk. When it is time, it will hook the thread and draw the thread."

"You have considered everything. Yes, Tian Erya, the scissors you made are of excellent quality and meet the requirements of the imperial court. The prefect is also very satisfied. How many scissors do you have in hand? Hand them in together, and I will reward you very much. "

"One."

"Only one?" Zhou Changkui's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "Are you kidding me? Someone, take her down and put her in prison!"

"My lord, please spare me." Tian Erya hastily kowtowed.

The two yamen servants couldn't help but pick her up and walk out.

Seeing this, Zheng Yuansheng felt chills in his heart, the last thing he wanted to see happened.His brain was running fast, how to save Tian Erya.

Tian Erya was dragged outside, and shouted anxiously: "My lord, the quality requirements for scissors this time are much higher than before, and the folk girl made this pair of scissors after a night of experimentation. I have already mastered the skill of making this kind of scissors." , as long as the lord gives me time, I will be able to hand over the amount that the lord wants."

"Wait a minute." Zhou Changkui signaled the yamen servant to let her go, "Can you hand over [-] pairs of scissors in half a month?"

"Thirty thousand for half a month?" Tian Erya was taken aback by the amount.

Zhou Changkui's gaze was majestic: "Yes, the prefect wants [-] sets of the same scissors, and we can make them within half a month with guaranteed quality and quantity. Otherwise, you and the bosses of these sword shops will be blamed together."

She asked blankly, "What's the crime?"

"Chop."

Tian Erya was stupid on the spot, straightened her body immediately, and said loudly: "My lord, you can't kill me. First, I am not the owner of the sword shop; second, I am not on the supplier list of your Armed Forces Institute; third, I am She is an ordinary country weak woman. Seeing that the imperial court could not find qualified scissors, she offered good scissors to relieve the imperial court's worries. The imperial court should see that I provide you with qualified scissors and solve your urgent needs. Please remember me Congratulations. If you want to kill me, who will dare to make contributions to the court in the future?"

Seeing that she was pulling her neck and shouting like a rooster, Tong Bat laughed, and looked at the other magistrates: "What makes sense in what she said! What do you think?"

The others nodded.

Tong Bat tilted his head, lowered his voice and asked Wu Xiangrong: "Xiang Rong, do you think Master Zhou will kill her?"

Wu Xiangrong replied in a low voice: "If Mr. Zhou is such an idiot, the Armed Forces Academy would have rejected him long ago. It's just to scare Tian Erya."

Tong Bat raised his eyebrows: "Heroes see the same thing."

Zheng Yuansheng let out a sigh of relief, Tian Erya's life was finally safe.

Shan Da pouted him: "Tian Erya has made great progress recently! She used to be submissive, but now she dares to speak in front of the court adults, and what's more, her speech is quite organized. It's much better than when I met her in the theater troupe before. .”

"After she was ridiculed, she worshiped Xia Tian as her teacher and studied hard day and night. Now she has a little bit of literature in her chest, and she has indeed improved a lot compared to before."

Dan Da was surprised: "No wonder? The whole person looks different. There is a poetic and scholarly spirit in his stomach, and these words are really not for nothing."

Zheng Yuansheng smiled and looked towards the stage.

Seeing Tian Erya's imposing manner, Zhou Changkui raised the corners of her lips. She was as courageous as he thought and had some brains, so it was easy to handle.He pointed at Zheng Zongde and other five sword shop bosses: "Tian Erya, you are very good at sophistry. I won't kill you, but I can kill them."

The bosses of the five sword shops were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, spare my life. My lord, spare my life!"

Zheng Yuansheng stared at Tong Bate, Zhou Changkui was about to disregard human life, but the magistrate still didn't say a word, he guessed that Zhou Changkui didn't dare to kill people, or did he have other plans?

Seeing everyone staring at him, Tong Bat had a faint smile on his face.Zhou Changkui was the new consul of the Armed Forces Academy. After taking office, he changed the rules and put on a murderous posture in front of the public.He just ignored it and just watched the excitement.

Kangzhi County usually did not take advantage of Zheng's family. Seeing that Zheng Zongde and his son were about to be beheaded, he couldn't help standing up and arguing for them: "Master Zhou is so majestic, he will beheaded at every turn. We are the parents of the counties after all. Are our common people seeking our opinions and submitting them to the imperial court according to the law?"

Zhou Changkui sneered: "Lord Zhou, my Armed Forces Institute is under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I am an imperial envoy. The owners of these sword shops failed to provide scissors to the Armed Forces Institute twice. They are clearly lax and imperial envoys, contemptuous of the imperial court, What's wrong with me punishing them for their disrespect? Could it be that Kangzhi County took it for granted that they couldn't hand over qualified scissors?"

"You killed them, who can hand over the scissors that meet the high standards of your Armed Forces Academy?"

"There is someone who can provide qualified scissors right now, but unfortunately, she should not do this job." Zhou Changkui locked his eyes on Tian Erya, "I can only reluctantly kill these bosses, and see who dares to slack off in the future!" Difference?"

The bosses of the sword shop heard what he meant, and asked Tian Erya for help: "Girl, just agree to this job! We promise to cooperate with you well."

Tian Erya wanted to cry without tears: "Make [-] pairs of scissors in half a month? How to do it? It's impossible. If I can't finish the errand, I will lose my head like you. Absolutely not."

Zhou Changkui sternly scolded: "If you can't complete the emperor's mission, everyone will lose their heads. Before I am dismissed and beheaded, I will kill you unscrupulous merchants who deceived the court. Come! Kill the owners and managers of these five sword shops. All the people were pulled down and chopped down, and their shops and mansions were seized."

The yamen servants rushed forward and handcuffed the bosses with iron chains.

Zheng Zongde broke free from the iron chain, grabbed Tian Erya's sleeve, and burst into tears: "Miss Tian, ​​I beg you, as long as you save our lives, our Zheng family will remember your great kindness. What do you say?" Request, our Zheng family will agree to you."

Boss Wang, Boss Zhao and others crawled at Tian Erya's feet: "Miss Tian, ​​please, save us, your bodhisattva heart will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Zheng Yuanli burst into tears: "Miss Tian, ​​show kindness and take over this job, save us big guy, my brother and I's children are still young, they can't live without a father! Big brother, don't talk, please beg Tian Girl. If you take good care of her, she will listen to you. "

Shan Da in the audience pushed Zheng Yuansheng: "Your father and your brothers are going to be beheaded, why are you not in a hurry?"
