After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family

"Did this big knife come from your blacksmith shop?"

Cui Ruxue asked tentatively, and then observed her expression carefully.

Shopkeeper Mo still smiled, glanced at the drawing in her hand, and then said.

"We have made this broadsword before, and the country has no regulations that prohibit making broadswords like this. All blacksmiths in the country can make this broadsword. It's not a military weapon. Not only I have made it, but blacksmiths in the county have also made it. So, what else do you want to know?"

Seeing that Mo Lanhua's words made sense, Huo Ruxue smiled calmly.

"That's true, but now these bandits are armed with weapons and committing crimes so frequently. It's OK if no one is killed. If someone is killed, it won't be as simple as investigating."

Moranhua thought for a while, then said after thinking for a while.

"Someone asked me to make these swords a few months ago. She only asked for 20 swords, and she wanted 100 swords. However, our blacksmith shop didn't have that much material, so we could only make 20 swords."

"Then can you see clearly what she looks like? What's her name and where does she live?"

"I don't know. Twenty taels of silver for a broadsword. It's a waste not to do this business. Adding the cost, a broadsword costs about fifteen taels of silver. The materials used are also ordinary. Do you see what's special about this broadsword?"

Cui Ruxue's face darkened again. The results of her investigation in the county were minimal, but she could find some clues here.

"Then which girl made these weapons? You must know that!"

Mo Lanhua took out a document. After Cui Ruxue looked at what was written on it, she went back to the backyard.

"Who is Zhong Dabei?"

Cui Ruxue shouted while standing in the yard.

Everyone in the blacksmith shop looked at Madam Zhong, who walked out with a confused look on her face.

"I'm."

Cui Ruxue looked at her. To be honest, she was a little old. At twenty, it might be a little difficult for her to do it. And just now she observed that the knife used in the painting could only be made so delicately by a strong girl.

"take away."

As soon as Cui Ruxue said this, a tall female soldier walked out from behind her.

When Zhong Dabei saw what they were wearing, his legs went weak. Cui Ruxue was not wearing an official uniform, but the female soldiers were.

"Excuse me, my dear soldier, have I done anything wrong?"

"Nothing, don't panic, I just ask you a few questions."

When he arrived at the front hall of the blacksmith shop, Zhong Dabei looked at the blueprints with a confused mind.

"My Lord, this was not made by me."

When Zhong Dabei said this, there was a hint of smile on Mo Lanhua's lips.

"It is indeed not made by her. It was made by a lady named Ma in my shop."

Cui Ruxue saw that it was getting late. If she didn't go back to report, her position would be in jeopardy. It would be nice to find a scapegoat now.

"We don't recognize who beat him, we only recognize the document."

This is how it is in this world. Documents are very important. Zhong Dabei signed the document, so even if the fine sword was not forged by her, it became hers.

"Take it away!"

"Sir, I really didn't hit him. The boss asked me to sign the document. It has nothing to do with me!"

Madam Zhong's face was filled with fear. If she went to the government office, how could she come back safe and sound?

Her family depends on her blacksmithing skills for a living, so nothing can happen to her! She blurted out something as if she had thought of something.

"That day, Madam Song was there too. She can testify for me that I really didn't stab him with the knife."

What a fool she is. However, Song Zhining also understood that in the eyes of the boss, they were all disposable and the best scapegoats.

"Yes, I can testify for you that the broadsword was made by Madam Ma, and the document was written by the boss, but will it work?"

Song Zhining rolled his eyes and looked at Zhong Dabei who was standing at the blacksmith's door with a look of despair.

He looked at his boss and Madam Ma with disbelief on his face.

Don't you know? Now Cui Ruxue is looking for a scapegoat to deal with. Otherwise, why would she come to a town that is even more shabby than the county town?

When Cui Ruxue left, she glanced at Song Zhining. She was swinging her hammer weapon with great force and didn't even look at them.

"What an interesting lady."

After Cui Ruxue said this silently, she left with her female soldiers and took Madam Zhong with her.

Shopkeeper Mo glanced at Song Zhining with an unpredictable look, then walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Hey! They're gone. The group of female soldiers are gone. I don't know what happened to the blacksmith shop."

"Did you see that? Madam Zhong was taken away."

"I'm not blind, who didn't see it?"

"Do you think she has done something wrong?"

"Who knows!"

People outside were talking at once, and Xu Jinlian was also worried. After seeing the female soldiers leave, he realized that except for Madam Zhong, everyone else was fine, and only then did he feel relieved.

Madam Ma finally let go of her worries. She didn't want to take this job at first, but Song Zhining refused. The boss had no choice because only she and Song Zhining could wield such a sophisticated sword.

Although Ma likes to be lazy, her craftsmanship is quite good.

"Song Zhining, what did you mean just now?"

Madam Ma looked at her viciously, with an expression that looked as if she wanted to tear her apart, and made everyone stay away from her.

"What do I mean?"

Song Zhining smiled.

"Did you make the weapon?"

“I…I…I didn’t…I didn’t hit him.”

Madam Ma said through gritted teeth.

"If you didn't hit me, then you didn't hit me! It's none of my business. I was just answering Madam Zhong's question. I didn't mean to accuse you."

Song Zhining laughed slyly, "What are you afraid of? Someone is taking the blame for you, just be happy!"

Really, Madam Ma wanted to smash her mouth.

Of course, she was just thinking about it. If she really did it, she might be pressed to the ground and rubbed by Song Zhining.

The blacksmith shop did not close because of this incident. Everyone was still doing what they were doing and was not affected at all. If the owner was affected, the blacksmith shop might have closed!

"Sister, why are you asking us to stop?"

A sloppy woman sitting on a chair asked Moranhua.

"Letting the tiger go back to the mountains is not a good idea. You either have to cut the grass and root it out, or do it secretly without anyone knowing that it was you who did it. This time, letting the tiger go back to the mountains is very disadvantageous to us."

Moranhua knocked on the table, wondering if she should leave. She had stayed in this place for too long and should move on.

“How much did you rob this month?”

"Big sister, you know what, the wealthy merchants in the Shui Kingdom are really poor, and can't catch up with the ordinary businessmen in our Jin Kingdom! But fortunately, I was lucky enough to get a few rich people. In total, I have nearly 10,000 taels of silver."

"Yes! That's right. We need to get more money. The Kingdom of Jin will soon be in turmoil. The Royal War is about to begin."

There was a deep look in Mo Lanhua's eyes. All she could do now was to make money, the more the better.
