Chapter 282 Trouble at the Door
Zhang Ye built an alchemy furnace according to the drawings and successfully imbued it with the artistic conception of alchemy. Before Zhang Ye felt anything, applause suddenly broke out.
"Damn it, Zhangzhang Stove Ox, Deacon Wang just walked away with his front foot, and you made it with your back foot?"
"Xiao Zhang, brother, I can't accept it!"
…
Listening to everyone's flattery, Zhang Ye felt a little surprised. He was so indifferent to him two days ago. Why is he so eager today?
Li Ritian patted Zhang Ye on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhang, when you were an apprentice, my brother took care of you, right? This alchemy spirit treasure is your strength, please help me!"
"Xiao Zhang, and I, I'm not good at Dan Dao Ling Bao either. If you don't help me, I won't be able to do the job."
"Don't worry, we won't take your spiritual treasure for nothing. Fifteen, no, how about twenty mid-grade sky stones each?"
Listening to everyone's words, Zhang Ye understood that something was wrong with them today. Daqing was not good at forging Dan Furnace Spiritual Treasures and wanted Zhang Ye to do it for him.
"Thirty pieces of middle-grade sky stones." Anyway, they were all forged for the public, so Zhang Ye didn't care, as long as he could make more money, it would be a big deal.
The faces of the cooks were a little painful, but they didn't bargain. They gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhang is a happy person, so it's settled!"
According to Deacon Wang's regulations, each furnace master needs to complete the share of two alchemy furnaces. Except for a few furnace masters who forged it themselves, everyone else handed over the task to Zhang Ye, and each person paid 60 yuan of mid-grade sky stones.
Money came so easily that even Zhang Ye found it incredible. However, the task was given by Deacon Wang, and Zhang Ye didn't think much about the quality of the Lingbao he built.
Two days later, Zhang Ye completed 99% of the military orders by himself. Not only did he earn a lot of contribution points, but he also gained a good amount of sky stones.
Zhang Ye also took the time to complete the forging of the elixir gourd and ordered the helper to deliver it to the Lingmiao Pharmacy.
Shopkeeper Wu thought he heard wrongly at first, but he didn't expect Zhang Yezhen to build these pill gourds in three days, which surprised him for a long time.
So what happened to the alchemy furnace built by Zhang Ye?
In the middle of the night, more than a dozen furnace masters gathered together. Deacon Qian arrived late, and the furnace masters hurriedly greeted him.
"Deacon Qian, we have asked Zhang Ye to help build the alchemy furnace according to your instructions, and then left it to you to do the work." When the furnace masters said this, there was a trace of doubt again, "But I don't know why, Deacon Wang didn't Ask Zhang Yexingshi to investigate."
It turns out that except for the fact that the order was genuine, the rest of the military supply order was the work of Deacon Qian and the furnace chiefs.
Let Zhang Ye build this batch of military supplies orders. If something goes wrong, Zhang Ye will definitely bear the brunt. Therefore, the furnace owners paid a high price to buy the Dan furnaces built by Zhang Ye. Of course, before delivering the mission, they handed over the alchemy furnace to Deacon Qian for manipulation. With Deacon Qian taking action, it would be impossible to tell that someone had tampered with it. If something went wrong with the alchemy furnace, Zhang Ye would never be able to prove his innocence and would have to take the blame.
It’s just that the furnace masters are puzzled. It’s been two days since the alchemy furnace was handed in. Why has Deacon Wang not had an attack yet? Has he suppressed it?
Hearing the questions from the furnace masters, Deacon Qian smiled and said, "It's normal for Deacon Wang not to cause trouble for Zhang Ye."
The furnace masters were stunned and said angrily: "Deacon Wang is too partial to Zhang Ye. If this happens, won't all the efforts be in vain?"
"Why was all your efforts in vain?" Deacon Qian smiled happily, "Deacon Wang didn't bother Zhang Ye because he didn't detect any problems with this batch of pill furnaces."
The furnace leaders became more and more puzzled. Someone said: "Deacon Qian's methods are really clever. Even Deacon Wang can't find any problems. But isn't that meaningless? If Deacon Wang can't find the problem, who will punish Zhang Ye?" "
Deacon Qian's smile became deeper and deeper: "The batch of spiritual treasures has been sent to the military camp. If there is a problem, someone will naturally come to punish Zhang Ye."
Hearing this, the furnace masters turned pale. They finally understood Deacon Qian's plan. On the surface, it was to deal with Zhang Ye, but in fact, it was to deal with Deacon Wang, and even the entire forging workshop!
At first, Deacon Qian came to them and told them the plan. The furnace masters thought that after Deacon Wang discovered that there was a problem with the alchemy furnace, he would punish Zhang Ye in order to frame Zhang Ye.
But I never thought that Deacon Wang could not see the problem with the alchemy furnace at all, and sent it directly to the military after trial.
When these pill furnaces are officially put into use, if something goes wrong, Zhang Ye will be the first to bear the brunt, but the entire forging workshop cannot escape its responsibility!
"Deacon Qian, you lied to us!" The furnace owners were very angry.
"How did I lie to you?" Deacon Qian looked amused.
"You just talked about dealing with Zhang Ye, but you never thought that you were going to drag Deacon Wang into trouble!" The stove leaders knew in their hearts that Deacon Qian was jealous that Deacon Wang was about to be promoted to chief, so they came up with this way of attacking in the east and in the west.
The furnace directors can criticize and compete with each other, but they dare not target their own bosses. This is the principle. So when they knew that Deacon Qian was trying to deal with Deacon Wang, they were filled with anger.
"You didn't even ask!" Deacon Qian said lightly, and then his expression turned sinister, "After all, you and I are like grasshoppers in the same boat. If you want to survive, you have to obey my orders! "
The furnace directors looked at each other, even if it was too late to report Deacon Qian now, and they had all become Deacon Qian's accomplices, it was indeed difficult to escape their involvement.
As for how to survive, it is nothing more than shirking responsibility. After all, Zhang Ye built the alchemy furnace, and Deacon Wang is responsible for quality inspection. If the military pursues the responsibility, it cannot go to the heads of the furnace. At most, they will be fined a little salary.
Thinking of this, the furnace masters lowered their heads, like deflated rubber balls: "Subordinates, follow your orders."
Deacon Qian smiled happily, just like at the beginning.
…
Under Tianzun's command, at the Southern Immortal Army's station, a batch of alchemy furnaces forged by Lingbao Division were transported into the elixir camp. The alchemists accompanying the army were very happy. With these high-quality Lingbao alchemy furnaces, refining elixirs would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. .
After the distribution was completed, a group of alchemists immediately took action and set fire to refine the elixir.
The first batch of elixirs was successfully refined and the medicine was extremely powerful. The alchemists were very happy and started refining the second batch.
There is no problem with the second furnace. The quality of the alchemy furnace is just right. The alchemists praise it endlessly. The Lingbao from Lingbao Division is just good.
But when the refining reached the third furnace, more than twenty of the fifty pill furnaces exploded at once, and the power of the explosion directly overturned the entire pill camp.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The horn sounded, and the southern fairy army was in chaos.
…
Zhang Ye lived in seclusion. On this day, he was still making spiritual treasures in the forge. Deacon Wang rushed in with an angry look on his face.
Deacon Wang always looked furious, but today he looked a little strange, because Deacon Wang had never been so angry before.
The furnace masters were silent. When Zhang Ye saw Deacon Wang walking straight towards him, he stood up and saluted: "Deacon Wang."
Deacon Wang didn't respond. He strode forward and kicked Zhang Ye to the ground.
Zhang Ye grimaced in pain and looked confused. What was Deacon Wang so crazy about today?
Zhang Ye asked the reason, but Deacon Wang ignored him and hit him all over the face again. Zhang Ye was so angry that he wanted to fight back, but he was no match for Deacon Wang. He had several ribs broken and he vomited several mouthfuls of blood. The deacon stopped.
Deacon Wang looked at the other stove masters. The other stove masters quickly lowered their heads, sweating, and did not dare to look at him.
Although Deacon Wang's face was full of anger, his eyes were very calm. He glanced at everyone, and then picked up Zhang Ye, who was only half alive. His throat moved slightly, but some words were not spoken after all.
At this moment, a group of armor-clad immortals and the head of the Lingbao Division entered the forging workshop. The leading immortal soldier shouted: "Get Zhang Ye!"
Zhang Ye was severely beaten and couldn't move, but he could hear and see. He just said that he had gone out of his way today. First he was beaten, and now someone came to arrest him?
Deacon Wang gave Zhang Ye a serious look, then turned his head and looked at the immortal soldiers: "Wait a minute!"
"The case of the alchemy furnace explosion has nothing to do with Zhang Ye. If anything happens, come to me!" Deacon Wang stood with his hands behind his back, facing the immortal soldiers calmly.
The person in charge looked anxious: "Xiao Wang, are you crazy? The alchemy furnace exploded, killing hundreds of people and injuring thousands. Can you handle it?"
The leading immortal soldier ignored Deacon Wang and wanted to capture Zhang Ye, but Deacon Wang stood in front of Zhang Ye and said, "I told you, this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Ye."
The leading immortal soldier drew his sword: "You said it has nothing to do with it?"
"I am the deacon of Lingbao Division, and I am higher than you in terms of official rank. What I say is the result of the investigation and authority!" Deacon Wang said with a loud voice, "I have inspected those batches of pill furnaces in advance, and there is nothing wrong with them. It was stolen during transportation. I was derelict in my duty. How can I blame Zhang Ye? "
"No matter what, as the deacon of the forging workshop, I have already punished Zhang Ye. As for other crimes, I, Wang Cheng, will bear all the responsibility!"
The leading immortal soldier's face was full of anger, comparable to that of Deacon Wang. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, take it down for me!"
Zhang Ye watched Deacon Wang being shackled, and he vaguely understood what was going on. There was something wrong with the pill furnace for that batch of military supplies, but there was no way something could go wrong with the spiritual treasure he had built!
"I believe there is nothing wrong with the spiritual treasure you created." At this moment, Deacon Wang used his spiritual mind to transmit the message, "But someone has tampered with it."
Zhang Ye felt particularly uncomfortable when he heard this. He looked at the stove masters with their heads lowered and already understood where the problem lay.
Because the alchemy furnace built by Zhang Ye will be directly handed over to Deacon Wang for verification, and then the warehouse will be closed. It will be accompanied by immortal soldiers during transportation, and it is impossible to be exchanged. So the problem can only lie in one aspect, the pill furnace that Zhang Ye helped these furnace masters forge!
Zhang Ye handed over the prepared alchemy furnace to these furnace masters for delivery. They had time to do tricks!
"Since you're here to attack me, let's take responsibility for everyone's work!" Zhang Ye used his spiritual mind to communicate and struggled to get up.
Deacon Wang scolded with his spiritual thoughts: "Stupid! This is coming for me!"
"You were just taken advantage of. I'm going to beat you up to punish you for being selfish. It's all over now and it has nothing to do with you."
Deacon Wang was escorted out of the forge. When he reached the door, he turned his head again and glanced at Zhang Ye: "Don't think about revenge for me, you don't have the ability."
Zhang Ye's nose felt sore and he wanted to cry, but he clenched his fist tightly and did not let the tears fall.
A real man shouldn't cry, he should do something!
