347　　Nan Batian didn't know that he had aroused Qimugege's suspicion.

　　And this is exactly the effect Chen Jie wanted. When setting up a strategy, he wanted to find a towering tree and knock it down step by step.

　　Nan Batian has been dominating Mianshui County for more than twenty years. His adoptive father, Peng Shizhong, failed to bring him down, and neither did Liu Laoguai. Even Yelu had to rely on him. Therefore, if one wants to bring down such a towering tree, one needs to make an overall plan and take every step carefully in order to uproot him.

　　Nan Batian was puzzled by Qimuge's look, but he still kept his mouth shut. Qimuge waved his hand and said, "Search!"

　　At a command, the Yelu Mansion guards rushed directly into the blacksmith shop.

　　Sun Tiechui glared at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, if you can't find anything, this matter is not over yet."

　　"Haha, Brother Sun."

　　Sun Tiechui was still angry, and then Old Monster Liu stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Brother, Jiusi is young and has not done things properly. If there is anything he should or should not have done, I, your brother, will apologize to you on his behalf."

　　"Just be magnanimous and don't bother with him. He just wants to relieve the worries of Darughachi."

　　Sun Tiechui said: "Then he can't wrongly accuse me."

　　Old Monster Liu said, "What do you mean by unfair or not? Brother, you have never made weapons for the Zoroastrianism, have you?"

　　"Am I crazy? I'm living a good life, why would I argue with a bunch of Zoroastrian rebels?"

　　"That's it. You didn't collude with Zoroastrianism. Let's investigate. After the investigation, you will be innocent. It will save outsiders from gossiping. Now that something like this has happened, the blacksmith shop must investigate sooner or later. Investigate sooner, and live a good life!"

　　After hearing this, Sun Tiechui said, "Well, Brother Liu is right. I have nothing to fear if I am upright!"

　　Sun Tiechui said, "Then check it out, check it out thoroughly!"

　　After Sun Tiechui finished speaking, Old Monster Liu said, "Hey, that's right, hahaha, Brother Sun is still reasonable."

　　"Brother Liu, it's not that I don't want you to investigate, it's just that Chen Jiusi wronged me, and I feel uncomfortable..."

　　"Okay, we adults are magnanimous and won't argue with him."

　　Old Monster Liu, with a smile on his face, brought Sun Tiechui into the yard.

　　Chen Jie also followed Sun Tiechui into the yard. Xiaohu muttered quietly beside him, "This guy really acted like a real person."

　　Chen Jie laughed and said, "He has been able to stay in Mianshui County for such a long time without being suspected. Do you really think he is stupid?"

　　The two men whispered to each other and entered the blacksmith shop. Once they entered the shop, they saw that all the blacksmiths in the shop were being escorted by the guards of the Yelu Mansion and standing with their backs against the wall.

　　At this time, the guards had basically searched out everything in the blacksmith shop, including farm tools, hoes, rakes, sickles, and shovels.

　　There are all kinds of farm tools.

　　Seeing the farm tools on the ground, Sun Tiechui said with a bitter face: "Commander Qimuge, the weapons you are talking about for rebellion are not these hoes and sickles, right?"

　　After hearing this, Qimuge said, "Of course not. What kind of weapon is this?"

　　Sun Tiechui said: "Look, this is pure false accusation by Chen Jiusi, you have to take care of him..."

　　Qimuge smiled and said, "Master Sun, don't worry, we haven't finished checking yet."

　　After hearing this, Sun Tiechui paused for a moment, and then he heard someone shout, "Come and see, there are weapons here!"

　　Hearing this, Qimuge glanced at Sun Tiechui and said, "Master Sun, go and take a look."

　　Sun Tiechui's face changed, but he still followed him into the house and came to the guard who shouted that there were weapons.

　　There was a large cabinet with many weapons neatly arranged on it. However, there was a sign in front of each of the weapons. Looking at the sign, everyone fell silent.

　　There was only one sign that said: Fisherman's Gang.

　　A sign read: Cao Gang.

　　A sign read, Yelu Mansion.

　　A sign read: County Government Office!

　　…

　　Sun Tiechui said at this time: "Everyone, these are the weapons that the major gangs in the city ordered from me. This is not against the rules, right? Lord Yelu also knows it!"

　　This Yelu knew for sure that the fishing gang, the shipping gang, the Yelu Mansion, and the county government all needed weapons. Although Daqian banned weapons among civilians, it did not impose any ban on gangs.

　　However, they did not dare to make it casually. They were all made by the production unit designated by the Yelu Mansion, the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop.

　　This is the table where they customize their weapons.

　　Qimugege went over and picked up a sign, turned it over, and found a list on the back.

　　It said: Fishermen's Gang, October 6, order 70 fish knives, to be delivered in one month.

　　He brought another one: On October 15th, the Cao Gang placed an order for fifty swords, which will be delivered in twenty days.

　　Yelu Mansion: ...

　　Qimuge looked at them and turned to look at Nan Batian and the others and said, "Are you all ordering weapons here?"

　　Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai nodded at the same time. These weapons were indeed custom-made by them. So it seemed that these swords could not be considered as privately made weapons.

　　In fact, this does not count, after all, according to the regulations of the Yelu Mansion.

　　Swords are not considered regulated weapons and are not classified as ordnance. Local gangs are allowed to make them. But what is it that needs to be regulated?

　　That's right, bows and arrows, crossbows, and armor are strictly controlled.

　　Especially armor, which is an important strategic material. Generally, if you hide a little, such as a sword, no one will care. But if you hide a set of armor at home, then you can be directly classified as having the intention of rebellion.

　　Of course, the cost of armor is too high, and Zoroastrianism cannot afford to produce armor in large quantities at this price.

　　So there is only one kind of military equipment they refer to: strong bows and crossbows, or iron bows and arrows are all considered military equipment.

　　Because if you make bows and arrows, you can't not make bows and arrows, just like if you have bullets in your hands, you can't be without a gun.

　　But these swords could not explain anything.

　　Qimuge looked around and said, "Hey, why is there no sign for Baihutang?"

　　After hearing this, Sun Tiechui said, "There have been too many jobs in the past month. The last time White Tiger Hall sent someone to place an order, I rejected it. So you hold a grudge against me and went to Darughachi to complain about me, right?"

　　Chen Jie looked at Sun Tiechui and said, "I simply told Darughachi that you were suspected of making weapons here, but I didn't say that you must have weapons here, and I didn't intend to target you."

　　"Good, I'm not targeting you, Chen Jiusi, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

　　Sun Tiechui looked at Chen Jie with a cold face.

　　At this time, Qimuge said: "Well, since we didn't find anything, let's go."

　　After hearing this, Sun Tiechui said, "Commander, take care."

　　"etc!"

　　At this time, Chen Jie suddenly spoke up. Sun Tiechui frowned and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, are you done yet?"

　　Chen Jie said: "Master Sun, I don't mean to target you, but we have only checked the surface. Who knows if you have any secret cellars or other places here?"

　　"Chen Jiusi, what do you mean?"

　　Chen Jie said: "Haha, what do you mean? I suspect someone tipped you off, and then you hid the weapons and other things so that we couldn't find them."

　　"You are slandering me!"

　　"Keep your mouth shut!"

　　Sun Tiechui was furious and pointed at Chen Jie and cursed him. Xiaohu, who was standing next to Chen Jie, was also furious and pointed his finger at Sun Tiechui. For a moment, the situation became tense.

　　Seeing this scene, Qimugege frowned.

　　Chen Jie's words seemed to make sense. Someone tipped off Sun Tiechui and he hid the things in the secret room in advance. It was possible. After figuring this out, Qimuge looked at Sun Tiechui and said, "Master Sun, you don't really have a secret cellar here, do you?"

　　Sun Tiechui said, "No, absolutely not. I am an upright person. There is no such thing as a secret room."

　　After hearing this, Qimuge looked at Sun Tiechui suspiciously.

　　Then he asked, "Really?"

　　Sun Tiechui asked, "Why would I lie to you?"

　　Qimuge said: "Then search it."

　　After that, Qimuge said, "Search, dig deep into the ground to see if there is a cellar or secret room!"

　　"yes!"

　　After hearing this, a group of guards from the Yelu Mansion picked up the shovels they had searched and started digging at Sun Tiechui's place.

　　Looking at the messy yard that had been dug up and the knocked-down wall, Sun Tiechui's eyes were red. He looked at Chen Jie angrily and said, "Chen Jiusi, I will never let you go!"

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "I am dedicated to the public, why should I be afraid of you!"

　　The two looked at each other, their eyes full of tension, as if they would never give up on each other.

　　Qimugege saw everything.

　　I was also wondering, could it be that Sun Tiechui was really being wronged?

　　What happened to Nan Batian's escaped subordinate? Or did Nan Batian collude with Sun Tiechui to transfer the weapons?

　　For a moment, Qimugege was frowning, but Sun Tiechui's blacksmith shop was turned upside down and even dug three feet deep, but no problems were found.

　　Is there really no cellar here?

　　How is that possible? Yes, but the entrance to the cellar has been blocked by Sun Tiechui in advance, so you can't find it even if you are a god.

　　He and Chen Jie set up this trap. If there was a flaw, would he be so bold as to let Qimuge in?

　　It's impossible, because there is no flaw, so the wooden grid can be found at will, and it doesn't matter even if you tear down the blacksmith shop.

　　It just so happened that Sun Tiechui and his men also wanted to evacuate Mianshui County.

　　That's right, Sun Tiechui is going to evacuate Mianshui County. The fighting in the north is too fierce, and a mature blacksmith is very valuable there. So he can't waste any more time in Mianshui County. This time he is going to join the army on an expedition.

　　Therefore, he didn't care much about the demolition of the entire Sun family blacksmith shop, but he couldn't act like he didn't care. He had to act hysterical so that he could perform this drama well.

　　"Report to the commander, no cellar or secret room has been found in the East Courtyard."

　　"Report to the commander, no cellar or secret room has been found in the west courtyard!"

　　"Report to the commander, no cellar or secret room was found in the backyard..."

　　…

　　After digging deeper, they finally discovered that there was no cellar or secret room in the entire blacksmith shop.

　　This completely proved Sun Tiechui's innocence. Sun Tiechui roared, "Chen Jiusi, do you have anything else to say?"
