The forging department of Fuyesi is quite "lively".
Hot and noisy.
As soon as Zhou Zhilu walked into the forging department with his things, he felt the heat coming towards him.
At the same time, the endless sound of jingling and knocking kept echoing in my ears.
Inside the building, there stood a huge metal furnace in the center, with intricate inscriptions carved on it, and above it were various pipes running through to countless small rooms around it.
Walking up the stairs on one side to the top floor, Zhou Zhilu found the room of Wu Chi, the director of the forging department.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I saw a piece of paper next to the door that said, "Please use force, otherwise I can't hear you."
Zhou Zhilu burst out laughing and then knocked on the door vigorously.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
However, there was no response from inside the door.
Zhou Zhilu wondered in surprise, "Isn't that enough strength?"
Then he banged on the door again.
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
The immense force caused the door to tremble, even knocking off a sticker next to it, revealing a small message underneath: "Didn't you eat? How could you hear such a quiet knock?"
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu became furious.
Step back with your right foot and make a fist.
"drink!"
With a loud shout, his fist instantly hit the door. With a crisp sound, the door instantly broke into pieces and flew into the room.
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, holding an abacus and laughing loudly, "Haha! Twenty taels for damaging the fine iron door, five taels for cracking the wall, two taels for garbage disposal, and ten taels for repairing the door, a total of thirty-seven taels of silver! Pay up!"
Zhou Zhilu turned his head and saw a short and strong man, only as tall as his waist, with slightly reddish skin and a big brown beard standing behind him.
The moment he saw this person, Zhou Zhilu thought of the word "dwarf", which was very similar.
"Bump...bumping into a car?" Zhou Zhilu looked at the other person with a strange expression.
The other person stretched out his hand, looked up at Zhou Zhilu with an impatient expression and said, "What's this scam? Pay up quickly! If you don't, I'll have you thrown out!"
Zhou Zhilu looked at the note beside the door, then looked at his lover with a sly smile on his face, and his face instantly darkened.
He pulled out the token Xiao Wenlan had given him and said, "I'm here on the orders of Minister Xiao from the Monster Inspection Department to find Minister Wu from the Forging Department..."
Unexpectedly, the other party's face changed when he saw the token, and he exclaimed in shock: "That perverted old woman?!"
Then, with a gloomy expression, he muttered, "If that woman finds out, will she come and have sex with me? What's going to happen then? My streak of successfully earning repair fees for ninety-nine times will be interrupted just like that."
Zhou Zhilu, who was standing aside, twitched his lips when he heard this. Ninety-nine times... this old liar!
"Oh no! Never mind, it's just my bad luck! Come in with me."
The dwarf waved his hand dejectedly, then walked behind the table inside the room and asked seriously, "I am Ebony, the head of the forging department. What can I do for you?"
“…”
Seeing the other person's serious expression, Zhou Zhilu was speechless for a moment...
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zhilu handed Xiao Wenlan's handwritten letter to Wu Mu and explained his request.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other party quickly pull out an abacus from behind his back and said quickly: "Okay, okay! I'll give you 50 catties of level 5 black iron, and I'll give you 100 taels. I'll give you 30 catties of level 4 sunken wood, and I'll give you 80 taels. I'll give you a level 5 demon core..."
"Wait, wait! Minister Wu! I have my own things, I have them all!" Zhou Zhilu hurriedly stopped him.
Immediately, the materials were brought in from outside.
Seeing this, Wu Mu put away his abacus with a look of regret on his face, muttering, "It's really not easy to make money nowadays. I have to think of some new ways later..."
Zhou Zhilu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and finally he understood what Minister Xiao had meant.
It’s not that he doesn’t have the materials to use, it’s that he is worried that he will leave with a debt of millions!
However, even so, because the materials Zhou Zhilu brought were good, the only thing missing was a fire-attribute demon core, and Wu Mu was determined to sell one to Zhou Zhilu no matter what.
They even introduced installment repayment plan.
Unable to guard against it, Zhou Zhilu still walked out of the forging department with a debt of fifty taels, and agreed to come back to pick up the knife in five days.
At this time, Zhou Zhilu also learned the news that Tu Qing had returned.
When I met Tu Qing again, there was a bit of awkwardness between us.
Fortunately, they had a frank discussion afterwards, and Tu Qing explained that this decision was not made by him alone, and he also said goodbye to Lord Wu Hou before leaving.
And if Zhou Zhilu can perform well in front of Xiao Wenlan because of this, it will be the biggest gain for Zhou Zhilu.
And with Tu Qing's suggestion, Zhou Zhilu finally realized another problem he was facing.
"The nemesis of the powerful?!" Zhou Zhilu exclaimed.
Tu Qing sighed: "Yes, starting from the first time we met, because of you, the county magistrate of Wanghai County is gone, the county magistrate of Yancheng County is dead, the prefect of Yong'an Prefecture is dead, and his family members have all been exiled to the border.
"Even though you've only been in the Fuye Division for a short time, none of these cases are small. When the common people find out, they all call you the nemesis of the powerful and wealthy."
Zhou Zhilu's face turned very ugly when he heard this. He certainly knew that this title was not a good thing.
The nemesis of the powerful?
Just kidding, it would be fine if it happened in the underworld, but this is the capital, where the powerful and wealthy gather!
Now that you have such a title, are you afraid that you won’t die quickly enough?
"Is someone deliberately spreading this?" Zhou Zhilu asked with a gloomy face.
