Feng Yuan was indeed a hard worker, and he seemed so out of place among a bunch of idle craftsmen that Su Mu and Liu Xiaoran found him with little effort.

He was manipulating all kinds of tools with a clang, and when he sensed someone approaching, he didn't even raise his eyes, as if he was completely immersed in the work in his hands.

"Senior?" Su Mu deliberated for a long time, and chose a name that seemed relatively safe. Since he was pretending to be a newcomer, it was reasonable to call him senior.

At this moment, Feng Yuan stopped the movement of his hands slightly, raised his eyes to look at Su Mu, and then continued to continue the work just now without saying a word, as if he didn't hear it.

Su Mu took the opportunity to take a step closer, regardless of whether others were listening, and said, "We just came in today, and we are not very familiar with this place. You seem to be very skilled, so I want to ask for advice."

Feng Yuan still had no answer, and Su Mu could only bite the bullet and continue to say: "Senior, have you been here for many years? Has this place always... been so leisurely?"

Feng Yuan seemed to be a little impatient with his question, raised his eyes and glanced at Su Mu, and responded very perfunctorily.

"What do you want to do here when you are free? Go home and sleep." Feng Yuan stretched out his hand and began to chase people away, "Go, go, don't keep yelling in my ear, if you don't work, I don't want to stop yet."

Normally, Su Mu would definitely choose to take a step back, but now they don't have much time, and it won't attract attention if they come to this place once.People noticed that although these craftsmen who came and went had no malicious intentions, a sentence of chat after dinner could be infinitely fermented to attract attention, so he did not retreat because of the attitude of the other party, but put on a stalkingThe appearance of beating.

Liu Xiaoran originally wanted to speak out to help, but Su Mu just told him not to speak up easily. The reason is simple. Once he speaks, the majesty of the law enforcement officers all over his body will be exposed, and the disguise on his face is in vain.up.

Therefore, at this time, he could only hold Su Mu's wrist and gently move him back to prevent the already irritable Feng Yuan from injuring Su Mu with all kinds of equipment he swung.

"Senior, don't be angry, I'm just a little curious. The weapons here are all sent to the battlefield. Isn't that all related to whether the soldiers can win? It's important. Why does it look like...-"

Before Su Mu finished speaking, Feng Yuan snorted coldly: "It's important, it's important, and the battle can't be fought here. You should eat and drink here. Who cares about the frontier battles?"

His words did not add a subject, but made Su Mu's heart skip a beat.

Feng Yuan raised his head, glanced at Su Mu and Liu Xiaoran, still somewhat disdainful: "What do these two little dolls with slender arms and legs come here for? It's all hard work. You are just greedy for the little money here., If you want me to say, if you want to kill the money here, you'd better not take it as soon as possible."

"What... do you mean?" Seeing that Feng Yuan seemed to be talking more, Su Mu took a step closer to it. This is a good sign, which means that Feng Yuan really knows something, and since he started this,This is the expression that he is already about to let go, "The money here is—to die for?"

Perhaps because he realized that he had said too much, Feng Yuan didn't answer any more, but lowered his head and remained silent for a while before completely stopping his movements. There was also much in the expression he looked at Su Mu and Liu Xiaoran.A little skeptical look.

"Who the hell are you guys?"

Continuing to insinuate is just a meaningless waste of time, Su Mu and Liu Xiaoran looked at each other and made a decision.

The latter stepped forward, and no longer concealed the purpose of coming here, and asked directly: "Seven years ago, were you here?"

As expected, Feng Yuan was stunned by the coercion in his words. He looked at the two people with even more suspicion and a trace of panic that could not be concealed. He tried his best to calm down his tone, and asked as usual: "Who are you guys?"

"I can't tell you who we are now." Su Mu hurriedly began to smooth things over, "But what happened here seven years ago is very important to us. If you know anything, please let us know."

Feng Yuan's expression was even more hesitant. He could tell that although the faces of the two young men in front of him did not look outstanding, even though they were dressed in coarse cloth, they still did not conceal their different aura from others.The two are by no means ordinary people.

Could it be... that incident back then was tracked down here?

After struggling for a long time, he was finally defeated in this silent confrontation. Even if he didn't say anything, then if those people knew that someone was investigating him, he would lose his life.

It would be better if told these two people that would have a better time when died.

"Wait until I'm done with this." He sighed, and continued to pick up various tools, hitting the already formed weapon one after another, until the last buzz sounded, Feng Yuan finally made up his mind, wiped his hands casually on his body, and walked towards the two of them.

"Seven years ago, you were talking about the time when General He was defeated?" He squinted his eyes, saw that both of them agreed, and didn't pursue the question. He just continued, "It happened here before.The things are all inferior products on the market, whether they are used to weave battle armor or forge weapons, they are actually not up to standard."

"Everyone here knows about this, and we can probably guess what it is about, but we are just people who take money to do things. We don't care about what the boss does, and we don't want to care about it."

Feng Yuan shook his head, then frowned: "When the news of General He's battle came back, the people who worked here at that time were terrified, because we knew very well, how could the 100,000 iron armor be defeated?But there are only 30,000 pirates on the opposite side, we know, we know that those things are not acceptable, but there has never been... nothing like this has happened before."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Liu Xiaoran still felt very angry. He was young and frivolous, and followed Gao Huan to see the turbulent borderlands. It was precisely because of this that he knew how many people would stay forever because of a small mistake.In a foreign land, they fought bloody battles to bury their bones in a foreign land, but they didn't know that these people enjoying peace in Capital City were stepping on their uncooled bones and nibbling away the gold and silver that had been embezzled.

Feeling the sudden drop in temperature from the people around him, Su Mu naturally knew why Liu Xiaoran was angry, so he reached out and patted Liu Xiaoran's shoulder calmly.

"We were all afraid at the time. We were afraid that someone would find out about us, and no one could get away with it. It was ridiculous to say that we hadn't even seen the money, but at this time, the thing we feared most was death.We." Feng Yuan suddenly gave a wry smile, he had held back these words for too long, the fear of those days made him not trust anyone, and he never mentioned these things to anyone.

"If that's the case, why don't you leave here?" From Feng Yuan's words, Su Mu could feel that the other party's helplessness and fear were not a disguise, but after seven years, if he left here and flew far away, he should have had a new life by now.life.

"Let's go? Someone left and died." He sneered, "Besides the Capital City group, there are nine other workshops under the armory prison.It was transported here. You may wish to check how many craftsmen we had here at that time, and now you can ask how many people are left here, if it has not becomeThe waste is messing around every day, but it has long been unbearable, and some people have left as you said, but after leaving, they are nowhere to be found, and no one knows where they went."

"Dead, they're all dead, what are we? We're just ants buried in the soil and can't be found anymore. It couldn't be easier for officials to crush us to death."

Feng Yuan seemed to be mocking himself and muttered: "Although I don't want to live that much, but I don't want to die."

The three of them fell into silence together. Seven years was enough for people to erase all the traces of the past. Even if they can reproduce the ugly faces of those people at that time from Feng Yuan's words, it still doesn't help.What Feng Yuan said, even if they knew about it, they could do nothing about it. Compared with the nobles, their lives were too small to threaten anyone at all.

Qi Hao waved his fan and waited at the appointed place for two solemn faces. He had always been better at judging the situation than Lu Lingjue, so he didn't ask any questions, but just waited for Liu Xiaoran to speak.

"It's too difficult to dig out what happened seven years ago." Su Mu shook his head. Even if they wanted to continue to investigate, the time span is too large, and it is too difficult to find useful clues, "If such people have tasted the sweetness, they will definitely not give up. Presumably, there are still their handwriting in the armor of these years. If they can find clues from the case files in recent years, they may be able to follow this line.brought out together."

Liu Xiaoran's thinking at this time coincides with Su Mu's. Although there has not been a disastrous defeat like in the past in recent years, wars on the border have occurred from time to time. Needless to say, Gao Huan's side, if they want to check his armyOf course, Gao Huan's armor is not a problem, but Gao Huan has been stationed abroad all year round, and most of the weapons he uses are also transported from surrounding counties and counties. Perhaps he has never been recruited. To say that the highest overlap with this route should be the one who was ordered to resist the Turks in recent years.Murong Mansion.

But even Liu Xiaoran has never met this General Murong.

He remembered that Bai Zhi had told him a few days ago that there was a happy event in Tang Yushi's family, and it seemed that he was going to entertain all the dignitaries in Beijing. He had known his father before, and he had handed invitations to the Liu family early on. Murong Mansion is nowThe most popular existence in Beijing must also be invited. If you can use this to get in touch with Mu Rongyang, maybe you can also ask him about his tone.

He rubbed his forehead with some headaches, but dealing with such things really made him a little uncomfortable. He didn't say that he never participated in such banquets, and he had never been to such banquets in recent years. Just thinking about it,It was enough to embarrass him.

"You go back to Dali Temple to find all the files about Zhang Yu. Take out all the files first, but don't disturb other people. I will decide on the rest when I come back."

Qi Hao took the order and left quickly. Seeing this, Su Mu also nodded towards Liu Xiaoran: "Then let's go back too."

Seeing the other party's expression changed from solemn to helpless, Su Mu realized that he must have forgotten something again, and in the next second, Liu Xiaoran's fingertips lightly brushed his cheek.

"Just go back like this? Are you not afraid that Mrs. Qin will faint?"
