Inside the mine, it was steaming.
Yang Mantou opened his short coat, brought over a bucket of fine sand, placed a rectangular wooden shelf, grabbed the sand and filled it in, picked up a wooden spatula, patted the sand firmly and smoothed it, and took the carved mother. For the money bag, first arrange two rows of carved mother coins on the left side of the sand, and then arrange two rows on the right side.
After arranging the carved mother coins, Yang Mantou took off the sweat towel from his shoulder, wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw the sweat towel over his shoulder, took out a wooden shelf and placed it on the previous wooden shelf. This wooden frame board has no bottom, only a frame. Spread the sand in handfuls, pat it firmly, smooth it, then find the bottom plate and cover it tightly, and press it down heavily.
After completion, the two wooden shelves are turned over and separated. The carved mother coin remains in the sand on one wooden shelf, while the concave shape of the front of the carved mother coin is left on the sand on the other wooden shelf.
Yang Mantou was very skilled. He took off the carving mother coin and continued the operation. He quickly produced ten frame sand molds. Then he took out a thin bamboo stick and pressed it next to the sand molds on the left and right sides. Each time he pressed it, it was like repairing a line. Ditches, and in the middle of every two rows of coin sand molds, there is a straight channel cavity. This channel is connected to each "ditch" and connects every coin sand mold.
After finishing all this, Yang Mantou closed the wooden planks one by one and tied them firmly. He turned to look at Guo Jun not far away and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Are you okay yet?"
Guo Jun looked at the crucible on the side and shouted: "Okay, here it comes."
Yang Mantou set up the wooden board and watched Guo Jun bring the crucible, which contained copper water. The copper water was not pure copper, but also contained tin, lead, and iron.
Guo Jun carefully aimed at the mold cavity of the wooden frame and cleared his throat: "If you cast a money tree, you will be rich. If the money tree is luxuriant, your descendants will be shaded..."
The copper water passes through the narrow mouth of the tong pot, flows into the channel cavity, and is poured directly to the bottom of the cavity. The copper water increases and begins to rise upward. It enters the copper coin sand mold along the ditch. The copper water flowing in the sand mold is like a newborn. coin.
As the copper water continued to be poured in, the rows of copper coin sand molds were filled with copper water. Only when the copper water slightly overflowed at the mouth of the mold cavity did Guo Jun lift the crucible and pour it towards the cavity of the other wooden frame plate. .
Yang Mantou wiped his sweat again and shouted to Guo Jun: "You can open the thick curtain today. It is already stuffy in the cave, but now the curtain is hung up, and there is not even a breeze. If this continues, it will be hot." Take someone’s life.”
Guo Jun laughed and said steadily in his hand: "Yang Mantou, if you feel uncomfortable, go to the cave next door to get some air. There are no lights but there is wind. A few people who had chest tightness and dizziness just now were also carried over. We also I don’t want to be bored, but you also know that a county magistrate named Gu came to Jurong. He was like a mad dog, chasing the missing persons case, and also found out about the Yin and Yang files. Last night, there was news that Mr. Liu Let’s go, things are a little serious this time.”
Yang Mantou didn't care about Mr. Liu and licked his lips: "It's just a county magistrate. With the energy of the Guo family, can't it be transferred away? Isn't the money sent to Yingtian Mansion over the years still not enough?"
Guo Jun finished pouring another one and straightened up: "Liu Xian from the Lifang went to the Yushitai of Jinling to file a complaint, but when he came back he was so frightened that he wanted to flee. Later, the Guo family sent people to inquire again and asked the officials of Yingtian Mansion, but there was no one. If you can clearly explain this person's background, it can be seen that he is not well-known in Jinling official circles. It is hard to say whether there is someone standing behind him. We went to say hello, but there was no movement from others, which can only mean that the time has not come yet. "
Yang Mantou stood up, walked towards the wooden frame that had been poured earlier, laid it flat, and untied the rope: "The time has not come yet, I think it is just taking money and not doing anything. This Guzhi County is not simple, this person dares to go deep Wucheng Mountain also defeated Guo Baijin's Tiger Formation, just this is shocking."
Guo Jun saw that the temperature of the copper water had dropped a lot, so he walked towards the stove and said, "If this person were simple, he would not be in this situation today. Master Liu left, and Geshanren, Guo Jie, Guo Liang and others were all arrested If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t be so passive and cautious like mice.”
Yang Mantou opened the wooden plywood, grabbed the copper rod at the mouth of the mold cavity, and pulled it casually, and a copper rod emerged from the sand. There were branches growing on both ends of the copper rod, and a copper coin hung on each branch.
This is a money tree.
After Yang Mantou inspected it and found that it was flawless, he took out another money tree, put it in a wooden box aside, and shouted: "Xu Erya, take these money trees away, knock them down, polish them and pack them into boxes. Don’t even think about sleeping until you finish it.”
Xu Erya walked out, with iron chains clattering under his feet. The iron chains were a bit short, making it difficult for him to take long steps. He could only move forward one foot at a time, moving slowly.
Picking up a box of money trees, Xu Erya walked into another cave. There were more than thirty people holding money trees with expressionless faces. The machines were like zombies knocking down the copper coins. Then they picked up a blunt knife and cut the edge of the copper coins. Give it a trim.
"Yang Mantou said we are not allowed to sleep until we finish this."
Xu Erya shouted, sat down, and prepared to clean up the coins.
Feng Baliang raised his head and looked at Xu Erya: "You were just waiting at the entrance of the cave. Didn't you hear any news? Tell us?"
Zhao Shan sneezed, sniffed, and scolded Feng Baliang: "What news has something to do with us? What should I ask him to say? Can a woman tell me?"
Feng Baliang took a sip: "Xiao Shanzi, let me tell you a mother-in-law. Do you still have the strength to torment her? With your current body, I think you will be kicked out of bed by the mother-in-law in two days."
Zhao Shan stood up and shouted dissatisfied: "I am very strong!"
Xu Erya took a deep look at Feng Baliang. If this person were not here, this cave would probably be like a corpse moving, and no one would speak. It is better to make a noise than a group of people not talking.
At least you can feel that you are a human being, not a ghost.
"I still heard some news, saying that Mr. Liu is dead and that Guo Jie and Geshan people have been arrested."
Xu Erya spoke.
Feng Baliang, Zhao Shan and others were stunned when they heard this, and then everyone burst into laughter.
Zhao Shan suddenly broke off a copper coin and felt very happy: "I have been here for three years. This is the first time I have heard such good news. It seems that this new magistrate, what is his name? Yes, Magistrate Gu, he is a ruthless person." Character."
Feng Baliang even shook his legs, with a look of enjoyment on his face: "These evil-doing guys have their day! Okay, that's really good."
"What's the use?"
Jiang Ang, who had been silent all the time, spoke, lowered his head and continued to polish the coins: "Guo Jun and Yang Mantou didn't hide this news from us, but they just decided that we can't leave here. No matter how powerful Gu Zhixian is, we still can't stay here. Here, if he is really capable, he should find this place and rescue us."
Xu Erya lowered his head.
Zhao Shan was no longer in a good mood.
Feng Baliang glared at Jiang Ang: "You guys are finally happy about something, why do you need to be so serious?"
Jiang Ang said with a straight face: "If you can't leave here, you don't have to be happy. If you leave here, you can be as happy as you want."
The corners of Feng Baliang's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.
"Someone broke in!"
"Copy guy!"
The sound became noisy, and there seemed to be movement outside.
Feng Baliang stood up suddenly, grabbed a copper pole of a money tree, and listened to the movement with an uncertain expression.
Zhao Shan looked at Feng Baliang and sighed: "Don't stand up. There will be a drill every once in a while. If anyone dares to take advantage of the chaos to escape and cause trouble, they will break their legs. In the cave inside, There are more than twenty people with broken legs. If you don’t want to break your legs, just sit down.”
As soon as Feng Baliang sat down, he saw Guo Jun walking over with a panicked look on his face, crossing the hall and running towards another cave.
"Why doesn't it look like a drill to me?"
Feng Baliang muttered softly.
At this moment, two men in black retreated to the cave where Feng Baliang and others were. Just when everyone was uneasy, Yang Mantou ran in with five men in black. Yang Mantou still held a few Money bag.
call out!
The arrow flew and a man in black was pierced through the chest and fell directly to the ground.
Zhao Shan looked at the dead man in black, with blood flowing out, and shouted: "Isn't this fucking drill too realistic?"
Then five people rushed over from the entrance of the cave, armed with spears, broadswords, and long bows and sharp arrows.
"Gu Zhixian has come to rescue people. Let's all rise up and resist. Kill the culprit and go home together!"
Zhang Pei shouted at the top of his voice, chased after a man in black, and chopped off the man's head with a heavy sword.
Gululu's head, along with the body spurting blood, finally made Zhao Shan, Feng Baliang and others realize that this was not an exercise, but someone brought by Gu Zhixian!
That's right, there are people wearing government uniforms and they are from the county government!
When Feng Baliang saw a man in black, he was about to run out. He grabbed a copper pole and used it as a spear to throw it straight. The copper pole was hollow and it didn't hurt the man in black when it hit his head, but he successfully blocked the opponent one step.
Just this step cost him his life!
In another cave, the battle was particularly fierce. Men in black swarmed out and fought with the sergeants led by Zhao Hailou. There were many men in black. Although Zhao Hailou and the sergeants had the upper hand, due to the large cave space , there was a man in black walking around Gu Zhengchen.
Gu Zhengchen looked sideways at the approaching man in black, drew out his sword and pointed it at him, shouting with sharp eyes: "The nameless person who is immortal under my sword must give his name."
The man in black looked at Gu Zhengchen, who was not afraid at all and had an imposing manner, and felt a little bit like he was riding a tiger. Could it be that the man in front of him was a master?
Gu Zhengchen stepped forward, step by step as steady as a mountain.
The man in black was a little nervous, swallowed, clenched the steel knife, looked at Gu Zhengchen who was only five steps closer to him, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go to hell!"
"Zhao Hailou, don't take action!"
Gu Zhengchen shouted sharply.
The man in black was shocked. He looked sideways, but didn't see anyone taking action against him. He knew he had been fooled. As soon as he turned around, he felt a pain in his chest. The tip of the sword had pierced his chest, but Gu Zhengchen was still standing five steps away.
"Flying, flying sword?"
The man in black never expected that there would be people throwing weapons in fights these days...
When Gu Zhengchen saw the man in black falling down, his momentum suddenly collapsed. He was covered in sweat, and he sighed in his heart: It's really hanging.
